I know, it blew my mind when I read about that, absolutely blew my mind and I now have the right info. One starts thinking that no matter how much they exercise there must be something wrong when they can not shed weight. Geez, who knew estrogen was connected to all that?
Thank you for this lectures Dr. Berg. Would you please make a video about PREMATURE OVARIAN FAILURE ? & What to do with it. What's the difference between POF vs PCOS vs Menopause??
I have ALWAYS been thin - menopause hit early because of endometriosis and then came the night sweats but the night itch! I would get out of bed and get my hairbrush and almost rip my skin off. So I was put on Livial. That helped but I have not been able to work out why suddenly my breasts have ballooned and my tummy expanded so I was once a size 8 or 9 and now a 12. I can't afford a new wardrobe and I eat one meal a day. This has given me a whole new view on things and I am starting a new campaign - I will report back if I see results - this if the first time I have felt hope. Something that makes sense!
I remember watching my First video from Dr Berg in 2015. A I am watching this video from 2016 on May 2023. What Long and intense Journey....! He has gone through 10.3 billion subscriber now. Amazing job. Congratulations...Dr Berg.

Interesting that when Americans were at their healthiest, food manufacturing was done with coconut oil. Then manufacturing changed and so did the health of Americans. Of course, all that American junk and processed food doesn't help along with GMO.
I was told by surgeon I have oestrogen dominance..that was 3 years ago...now entered perimenopause... I have chronic joint pain and headache/migraines (since 13)..I am exhausted and over it
I had a large uterine fibroid removed along with my uterus and ovaries when I was 42 .Immediately after , I gained 27 pounds , some in the abdomen and started to not get as much sleep as I used to
I’ve been taking DIM and Chaste Berry supplements. I’d love to here your perspective and education on these supplements. Thank you for your great explanations!
Hi does chaste berry (vitex) cause overian cyst. One of an amazon user has posted as vitex caused her an overian cysts. Dr berg if you happen to come across this comment can you pls educate us more on this chaste berry and dim supplements. We need your help 🙏
Increased Swollen hands while I sleep, I know it's thyroid and estrogen related. I need to repair this, my body is in panic. Thank you for the information
Do NOT Take Synthetic Hormones. Go to a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy) who balances hormones naturally. The initial visit can be expensive, but don't let that stop you. They analyze your blood work (which they order) and replace what you need with natural hormone replacement. Dr. Berg, you are an excellent communicator.
Thanks Dr. Berg. Do Plastic containers have"Estrogen?" According to the late Dr. Candace Pert, plastic is what causes young girls to grow a breast sooner than their time and men to have boobs. I'd be pleased to have clarity on this issue ❣️ I'll look forward to your response 🙏🏾

I am 63,,went into menopause at about 40,,,naturally,,,,but now I almost have osteoporosis,,,,,,could you help what I should do,,,I know weight bearing exercise is important,,,anything else,,,thank you Dr.Berg
I have been following you and appreciate your work immensely and has helped me apply this knowledge to my health. Request you to make a video on changes in female body and advice for young girls in modern times. Thanks
I knew that the Adrenal take over after the ovaries stop. The Adrenals using progesterone to make cortisol inf game changer. I must return to my plant based way of eating.
Can you just do 1 at a time like adjusting the sleep disorder then do the intermittent fasting then you deal with fatty liver? After a few months of improvement the intermittent fasting will forever be there & you do a checklist of what is next on the adrenal correct?
It was easy for me to follow until you jumped into the stuff about those with low estrogen (link). I have been estrogen dominant/lower progresterone for the majority of my life. Good info but the flow was a bit disjointed for me.
The whole time I got my period while I was growing up I wished that I would get menopause so I wouldn't be bothered with all this blood, mess, and cramps. Now I'm in menopause and damn, “bring back my period, I take it all back!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Right I feel. Funny thing is I never not wanted my cycle. I ask God to let me have it till I'm 70. Lol. However I didn't get my way. This I'm here learning. 😂
Me too! Before I couldn't wait till my periods will be over forever. But now that I've learned what horrible changes come along with the menopause, I want to keep my periods! It is actually possible with the right lifestyle changes and certain supplements. Suzan Sommers wrote tons of books about it.
omg I feel ya. I was suicidal my flashes were so bad. I felt hot and cold at the same time. When my period came back, I was soooooooooooooo happy. I want it to stay as long as possible lol
I’ve been miserable since I was 19 years old. I’m 49 now! I was unfortunate to have had ovarian failure at a very young age. I managed well the first few years. I didn’t have ANY of the symptoms of menopause, with the obvious exception of the loss of my menses, until I had an uninformed doctor decide it would be a good idea to put me on hormones, a few years later. I regret the day I swallowed my first pill! From then on out, I struggled terribly with weight, had constant acne, and haven’t slept a wink since! I had several other doctors recommend hormones several more times, over the years, and apparently I am a glutton for punishment because I assumed the best and ended up with the problems I already had, becoming worse. I’ve been mesmerized by your videos for months now. I’ve been to so many doctors with little to no help. I finally gave up a year ago! I now have had to have my gallbladder removed, in 2016, and have been on meds for high BP and cholesterol for 2 years now, to add to the problem. I was a steadfast follower of Keto for about 10 years, in order to manage my weight, but that stopped working. For reasons I won’t get into, I lost the ability to exercise in 2018, so as you can imagine, my health has suffered further. I am convinced there isn’t a doctor out there that can help me; especially in my area. My health is in my hands. Natural health is an option, but it requires a doctor to help with testing. When you tell them you are seeking natural pathways, for some reason, they won’t do testing, unless you are willing to take their death pills. So, I’m advocating for myself the only way I can at this point…research and lots of notes! I’m glad there are doctors like you out there, however few. It restores my faith in medicine and gives me hope that others might not have to suffer the way I have.
Try taking Sea Kelp to reduce estrogen-dominance while boosting your thyroid hormones. That could have saved your gallbladder as dr.berg latest vdo mentioned low thyroid hormones resulted in low bile and super-saturated cholesterol in the gallbladder, causing gall-stones. Very simple and necessary trace-minerals, especially if you use fluoride toothpaste and/or drink tab-water that has fluoride and/or chlorine in it.
It is also hugely important to realize that if we do not work on estrogen dominance then our body is marching towards the perfect storm, obesity, diabetes, even pancreatic problems, the list goes on an on, and yes, danger of developing cancers. That danger rises anyways as we age.
Dr Berg, I just want to express my gratitude for this teaching. Oestrogen is much more complicated than I expected; me and my sister will need this teaching and so will other women. I have found it useful and will have to watch it a few times to understand as much as possible. Also, I respect and appreciate this “machine” of mine that I take for granted.
Just started DIM the other day, very excited. I'm having some symptoms and my ob/gyn just sort of brushed me off and wouldn't hear me. I just got the "women your age" speech. No. I gained 10-15 pounds in 7 months without changing my diet. Something's up. Need to find a better dr. Heard good things about DIM, so here I am.
Have you had good results with taking DIM? I had the same experience with the doc, they are no help. Gained 10 pounds in four months, irregular periods, Constant bloat and back ache!! 😖
@@Tuyine I couldn't really pin it down, but there were several stressful things going on in my life at the same time. After a while of taking DIM, I had got worse stomach pains and even worse bloating. I quit taking it after a while and started feeling a bit better. But I also realized I had developed a food sensitivity around the same time. Plus I have always had strange reactions to things. Sorry I wasn't more help.
I decided to start the DIM supplement and was happily shocked by the results. When I didn’t get my period for days since I had never been late ever, I figured that’s great, peri menopause. I was super bloated which was rare and gained a few pounds in just days. I had night sweats and woke up various times throughout the night. Again, symptoms I’ve never had in my life before. I took the DIM out of desperation since I wasn’t getting any restful sleep and after one day, my period started back. On day 2, the night sweat subsided. On day 3, I slept through the night and the anxiety has decreased. It’s been about 3 weeks and it’s still going very well. It’s like I’m back to normal! I will continue to take this. I found it on Amazon, Nature’s Way, DIM-plus. I take 2 pills after dinner. I plan on taking this for a long time. No negative effects.
Ikr....so many conflicting solutions. Eat this, not that. Drink water, but not out of that type of cup. Your adrenal system, your endocrine system, your estrogen, blah blah I just want to SLEEEEP and feel like a normal person again
This is a really good video Dr Berg, I have reduced my hot flashes by about 95% after just 6 days of OMAD. In fact I am only really having them after hot drinks now, not all the time. Thanks.
My Mom lived to 82 years old......very chubby Lady ..large frame bone structure.....menopause at 58 yrs od age.......no hormone problems.....no hit flashes....no cancer ever! Must be good Greek DNA and foods
I just found your videos and I've already seen changes in my body. When you go through the unnecessary hassle of dealing with issues doctors seem to only want to fix with drugs and no explanation you lose hope. Now here's an alternative. Thanks Dr. Berg.
This is such a great video, really love it. We make a progesterone test strips to help women diagnose low progesterone, would LOVE to work with you on helping women!
After watching your video, I think most women have a lot of those symptoms and we are more confused than ever. Can you talk about testing for our hormones? I understand that we need at least 3 separate tests to really see what our imbalances are. I eat healthy, organic but I've felt a little sluggish and down lately. I don't know where to go and who to trust for these tests. Please help. I'm 68.
The Dutch test is a great way to test hormones which you should be able to do through obgyn or a functional medicine Dr. I highly recommend, I thought my body was making too much estrogen but the test revealed that not to be the case, my body just wasn’t releasing it properly, so then we knew how to treat. The test cost about $300-400. It’s expensive but worth doing to know what’s going on w your body and get relief.
My adrenal glands have been bad for last 6 years.The doc told me the lowest ever saw. And I have all these problems happening and it sucks bad! I really hate the hot flashes all throughout the day.
get a good prenatal- after 40 we r magnesium deficient, iron, zinc, vitamin B,C,E,K all that, u need all that n then ur good again avoid doctors they get paid to make, n keep u sick!
Well, I totally agree with the never ending nightmare! Since I turned 50 everything is falling apart for me as peri menopause and menopause, my asthma has turned to COPD and my sinuses are horrible! What a complete never ending nightmare! I really need help!
Thank you’. Pleeease learn well and teach about oxalate, phytates, and how calcium, magnesium, probiotics, fermented foods, and the B vitamin family play a part in combating the oxalate content in the stomach. Soooo many kidney stone sufferers need a good teacher like you.
Dr Berg, I love these educational video's. I am the student learning from the Teacher (Mentor) I have leant so much and continue too.! Thank-you. Be blessed for helping us understand the human body & its complexities. Merry Christmas guys. More in 2017 please.
Dr. Berg, I had a full hysterectomy in 2010 due to severe endometriosis. I'm 41 now and been on 0.1 estrodial patch ever since. I have to change it once every seven days. I still feel like there's something missing. I can't live without the patch, but even with the patch I still feel emotional at times and very fatigue. New symptoms have a appeared as the years go by e.g. bone pain, anxiety, stress, weight gain and loss, mood swings. Can anyone relate to me??? I've also noticed just in this last year that I get chronic attacks of BV aka Bacterial Vaginosis. I was wondering could this be from not having anymore female organs and sometimes my patch will fall off too soon so I'll have to put a new one on. Its a nightmare bc I'm constantly put on flagyl which gets rid of it but it upsets my stomach and comes right back! Please, any suggestions from anyone would be so helpful. I'm so distraught right now.
This is all very confusing. I thought that menopausal women were low in estrogen which has been found to lead to heart disease, alzheimers and osteoporosis. Books like Estrogen Matters discusses the reasons why women should be on hrt so this video is confusing me.
Too much estrogen caused me to have issues in my uterus and made me 30% at risk for cancer. I ended up having to have a hysterectomy at 35. I went into early menopause (I was already perimenopausal before the surgery) and now 3 years later, without the help of progesterone and other medications and treatments, I have lost 40 pounds on a paleo similar diet. I just stopped consuming dairy recently and switched to Almond Milk. My biggest problem now is not being able to find grass fed or organic meats. In my local stores, they just don't exist!
How do you know you’re premenopausal cause I’m 32 and for the last couple years I’ve been feeling like that’s what’s happening with me but I keep hearing I’m too young
@NattyByNature- You need to see your gynecologist and talk about your concerns. Hopefully your gynecologist is a woman! They can set you up with testing and let you know.
The bottom line is to reduce your stress so your body will have more progesterone instead of using it to make cortisol. Minor technicality, cortisol is created from pregnenolone, not progesterone. Plus stress wears down the adrenals - have you heard of "adrenal fatigue"? Your doctor probably won't tell you about it, but chronic stress over a lifetime wears out a lot of our organs. Just like eating too much sugar over a lifetime can cause diabetes due to the constant insulin production.
I have gone through menopause 3 years ago but this past year gained 20 pounds not changing a thing! Will balancing the adrenals help with weight loss? It is all in my inner thighs, hips breast and lower belly
Hello Dr. Berg, This is an excellent video that is incredibly informative and helpful. As I was listening to this video, I started wondering....are there certain segments of the population who might be more sensitive to estrogen dominance, GMO, consumers of corn, have a higher propensity to diseases like diabetes and are now being attacked by external endocrine disruptors?? As an African-American woman, I feel this might explain the higher rate of obesity in AA women. Lower salaries force AA women and families to eat cheaper more processed laced with GMOs which trigger endocrine disfunction which leads to all sorts of problems. 50 years ago AA were not this big. Just my thoughts......what do you think??
What this doctor says is an eye opener. Just today I was marveling at how I could possibly have Estrogen Dominance even though I just completed most of the menopause crap. How this doctor explains it makes so much sense and I am sure happy I delved into this subject. I just knew my hormones are out of whack, the bigger belly, foodcravings, especially chocolate. Who knew that estrogen could come from different sources after the ovaries shut down? OMG, I did not know that. And I have always, always suspected that estrogen dominance was at the root of my mothers reproductive deadly cancer as well as my aunt's reproductive cancer. But the biggest point is that this doctor helps save so many lives: because estrogen dominance is the one big thing a woman does not ever want if cancer already runs in her family. All the reproductive organs of a woman are affected, even after menopause, if there is estrogen dominance. Bad bad news. And I had an irkling about that. It just all fits together now, this information, like a puzzle that I have to solve if I do not want cancer like my mom and her sister had and die from it like they did. This is huge. I wondered what the heck was wrong with me because I could not shed the belly fat, and I knew my diet had not changed that much. Oh my god, this is such an eye opener. Thank you Doctor Berg, thank you
GREAT VID I dont like to go to mD s.... I would love to see a vid that really helps us find where our cortisol , progesterone, and estrogen balance are . Really focusing on symptoms so that we can self diagnose , without having blood work done. I'm good on all the food and a toxin free life style ..... but would really like to get a hard FOCUS on this subject. WHAT HERBS etc can we focus on not to raise or lower but mainly to balance these horomones???? I appreciate you so much 💛
I think taking magnesium glycinate is helpful as it detox’s Estrogen and naturally raises progesterone :)
Just do not take it if u have low blood pressure as it lowers even more
@@helenalombard7047 OMG 😱 I never 👎🏻 knew magnesium lowers blood pressure is that all magnesium or just this 1 type of magnesium?

It was easy for me to follow until you jumped into the stuff about those with low estrogen (link). I have been estrogen dominant/lower progresterone for the majority of my life. Good info but the flow was a bit disjointed for me.
"We have a situation". Sounds like a movie line, but I wish these menopause symptoms were just fantasy 😬🙄😜.
I have very high oestrogen levels I'm 56 and on hrt , I was on a patch but now the gel I'm worried as I know high oestrogen is dangerous .
What’s high?how do you know I’m also on the patch but low dose...been trying to get off it but can’t !
hrt: wasn´t the missing point having used the hormones in high quantities (a) and from horse (b)?
I wished we had homeopathic hospital that are interested in curing people not just medicating them 😢 Thank you Dr. Berg 🙏🏼
The whole time I got my period while I was growing up I wished that I would get menopause so I wouldn't be bothered with all this blood, mess, and cramps. Now I'm in menopause and damn, “bring back my period, I take it all back!”
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Right I feel. Funny thing is I never not wanted my cycle. I ask God to let me have it till I'm 70. Lol. However I didn't get my way. This I'm here learning. 😂
Me too! Before I couldn't wait till my periods will be over forever. But now that I've learned what horrible changes come along with the menopause, I want to keep my periods! It is actually possible with the right lifestyle changes and certain supplements. Suzan Sommers wrote tons of books about it.
I prefer menopause than before
omg I feel ya. I was suicidal my flashes were so bad. I felt hot and cold at the same time. When my period came back, I was soooooooooooooo happy. I want it to stay as long as possible lol
I literally lol when I read this 😂I can soo relate!!
I'm eating chocolate as I watch this! Lol
Save me a piece.
lol...me too! Choczero chocolate but still...yum
I’ve been miserable since I was 19 years old. I’m 49 now! I was unfortunate to have had ovarian failure at a very young age. I managed well the first few years. I didn’t have ANY of the symptoms of menopause, with the obvious exception of the loss of my menses, until I had an uninformed doctor decide it would be a good idea to put me on hormones, a few years later. I regret the day I swallowed my first pill! From then on out, I struggled terribly with weight, had constant acne, and haven’t slept a wink since! I had several other doctors recommend hormones several more times, over the years, and apparently I am a glutton for punishment because I assumed the best and ended up with the problems I already had, becoming worse.
I’ve been mesmerized by your videos for months now. I’ve been to so many doctors with little to no help. I finally gave up a year ago! I now have had to have my gallbladder removed, in 2016, and have been on meds for high BP and cholesterol for 2 years now, to add to the problem. I was a steadfast follower of Keto for about 10 years, in order to manage my weight, but that stopped working. For reasons I won’t get into, I lost the ability to exercise in 2018, so as you can imagine, my health has suffered further.
I am convinced there isn’t a doctor out there that can help me; especially in my area. My health is in my hands. Natural health is an option, but it requires a doctor to help with testing. When you tell them you are seeking natural pathways, for some reason, they won’t do testing, unless you are willing to take their death pills. So, I’m advocating for myself the only way I can at this point…research and lots of notes!
I’m glad there are doctors like you out there, however few. It restores my faith in medicine and gives me hope that others might not have to suffer the way I have.
Try taking Sea Kelp to reduce estrogen-dominance while boosting your thyroid hormones. That could have saved your gallbladder as dr.berg latest vdo mentioned low thyroid hormones resulted in low bile and super-saturated cholesterol in the gallbladder, causing gall-stones. Very simple and necessary trace-minerals, especially if you use fluoride toothpaste and/or drink tab-water that has fluoride and/or chlorine in it.
May the Lord bless you. Pray for you!
Try homeopathy. Find a good homeopath. You may consult a homeopath online. Don't give up, save yourself! You may be a naturopath in some years' time!
this may be your best video so far I will watch it many times thank you
Not there yet but gee, ain't it great being a woman? Ugh...
It is also hugely important to realize that if we do not work on estrogen dominance then our body is marching towards the perfect storm, obesity, diabetes, even pancreatic problems, the list goes on an on, and yes, danger of developing cancers. That danger rises anyways as we age.
Dr Berg, I just want to express my gratitude for this teaching. Oestrogen is much more complicated than I expected; me and my sister will need this teaching and so will other women.
I have found it useful and will have to watch it a few times to understand as much as possible.
Also, I respect and appreciate this “machine” of mine that I take for granted.
Just started DIM the other day, very excited. I'm having some symptoms and my ob/gyn just sort of brushed me off and wouldn't hear me. I just got the "women your age" speech. No. I gained 10-15 pounds in 7 months without changing my diet. Something's up. Need to find a better dr. Heard good things about DIM, so here I am.
How is the Dims working? I read about it but wanted to hear more from others using it.
Have you had good results with taking DIM? I had the same experience with the doc, they are no help. Gained 10 pounds in four months, irregular periods, Constant bloat and back ache!! 😖
@@Tuyine I couldn't really pin it down, but there were several stressful things going on in my life at the same time. After a while of taking DIM, I had got worse stomach pains and even worse bloating. I quit taking it after a while and started feeling a bit better. But I also realized I had developed a food sensitivity around the same time. Plus I have always had strange reactions to things. Sorry I wasn't more help.
@@starrystarrynight52 thank you for the reply, it is helpful
I decided to start the DIM supplement and was happily shocked by the results. When I didn’t get my period for days since I had never been late ever, I figured that’s great, peri menopause. I was super bloated which was rare and gained a few pounds in just days. I had night sweats and woke up various times throughout the night. Again, symptoms I’ve never had in my life before.
I took the DIM out of desperation since I wasn’t getting any restful sleep and after one day, my period started back. On day 2, the night sweat subsided. On day 3, I slept through the night and the anxiety has decreased. It’s been about 3 weeks and it’s still going very well. It’s like I’m back to normal! I will continue to take this. I found it on Amazon, Nature’s Way, DIM-plus. I take 2 pills after dinner. I plan on taking this for a long time. No negative effects.
Ugh why this have to be soooo complicated
Ikr....so many conflicting solutions. Eat this, not that. Drink water, but not out of that type of cup. Your adrenal system, your endocrine system, your estrogen, blah blah I just want to SLEEEEP and feel like a normal person again
This is a really good video Dr Berg, I have reduced my hot flashes by about 95% after just 6 days of OMAD. In fact I am only really having them after hot drinks now, not all the time. Thanks.
What r u taking if u don't mind me asking
@@snowangel6332 i found upping my omega 3 really helped, I take a double dose of fish oil every day.
Please what's OMAD?
Evening Primrose Oil of 1kmg also helps well with hot flashes

Dr. Berg is SO Helpful! A Million Thanks
"nightmare" 😆Dr. Berg, you are the best.
My Mom lived to 82 years old......very chubby Lady ..large frame bone structure.....menopause at 58 yrs od age.......no hormone problems.....no hit flashes....no cancer ever!
Must be good Greek DNA and foods
Adamandia Tsardounis 82 is good but could live longer. 100 is very possible for healthy people.
@@ArtbyMagic Agreed, wonder if she changed her diet how long she would've lived?
She could live longer than 82
I am greek too but has nothing to do all this with DNA dear...mine died at 92...so what?
Mediterranean diet
This just summed it all up for me. This is what I have been going through for 4 years now.
Best video ever!
Thank you Dr. Berg!
I just found your videos and I've already seen changes in my body. When you go through the unnecessary hassle of dealing with issues doctors seem to only want to fix with drugs and no explanation you lose hope. Now here's an alternative. Thanks Dr. Berg.
Thanks:)
@@EricBergHRV can YOU please do a video on perimenopause ❓I’m the opposite I’m losing weight NOT gaining 👈🏻🚨⚠️😱💭
This is such a great video, really love it. We make a progesterone test strips to help women diagnose low progesterone, would LOVE to work with you on helping women!
After watching your video, I think most women have a lot of those symptoms and we are more confused than ever. Can you talk about testing for our hormones? I understand that we need at least 3 separate tests to really see what our imbalances are. I eat healthy, organic but I've felt a little sluggish and down lately. I don't know where to go and who to trust for these tests. Please help. I'm 68.
Try Dr Labbe for complete testing.
Thank you needed this information too
The Dutch test is a great way to test hormones which you should be able to do through obgyn or a functional medicine Dr. I highly recommend, I thought my body was making too much estrogen but the test revealed that not to be the case, my body just wasn’t releasing it properly, so then we knew how to treat. The test cost about $300-400. It’s expensive but worth doing to know what’s going on w your body and get relief.
My adrenal glands have been bad for last 6 years.The doc told me the lowest ever saw. And I have all these problems happening and it sucks bad! I really hate the hot flashes all throughout the day.
get a good prenatal- after 40 we r magnesium deficient, iron, zinc, vitamin B,C,E,K all that, u need all that n then ur good again avoid doctors they get paid to make, n keep u sick!
Stop drinking coffee
Estrogen would take care of the hot flashes. I have been taking Premarin (estrogen) 40 years now due to having a total hysterectomy.
There's so much complex world inside our body functioning independently! Thanks Dr Berg for enlightening about little known facts.
True, and hardly a coincidence.
I agree the human biology is complex, this truth further confirms a Master Creator!
I would be interested to hear your opinion of pregnenolone Dr. Berg.
Meee toooo!
Me too
I have decided to try it. I am starting tonight!
What are the optimal levels in blood work after menopause?
Other symptoms are insomnia, weight gain and difficulty losing weight, cold hands and feet.
Cold hands and feet
Is also a lot of pressure on liver fatty liver.
Well, I totally agree with the never ending nightmare! Since I turned 50 everything is falling apart for me as peri menopause and menopause, my asthma has turned to COPD and my sinuses are horrible!
What a complete never ending nightmare!
I really need help!
I feel like this is me too.
same here I hate it!! bring back my period please!!!
Is your sinus cure ?
Totally agree I turned 50 the hot flushes and the anxiety everything hit me at once I hate this menopause wish we did not get it 🥹
Thank you’. Pleeease learn well and teach about oxalate, phytates, and how calcium, magnesium, probiotics, fermented foods, and the B vitamin family play a part in combating the oxalate content in the stomach. Soooo many kidney stone sufferers need a good teacher like you.
Don’t forget salicylates.
Dr Berg, I love these educational video's. I am the student learning from the Teacher (Mentor) I have leant so much and continue too.! Thank-you. Be blessed for helping us understand the human body & its complexities. Merry Christmas guys. More in 2017 please.
"Don't worry it gets worse." Ahahahahaha
I wish you & family a Merry Christmas & happy & healthy 2017 !
Dr. Berg, I had a full hysterectomy in 2010 due to severe endometriosis. I'm 41 now and been on 0.1 estrodial patch ever since. I have to change it once every seven days. I still feel like there's something missing. I can't live without the patch, but even with the patch I still feel emotional at times and very fatigue. New symptoms have a appeared as the years go by e.g. bone pain, anxiety, stress, weight gain and loss, mood swings. Can anyone relate to me??? I've also noticed just in this last year that I get chronic attacks of BV aka Bacterial Vaginosis. I was wondering could this be from not having anymore female organs and sometimes my patch will fall off too soon so I'll have to put a new one on. Its a nightmare bc I'm constantly put on flagyl which gets rid of it but it upsets my stomach and comes right back! Please, any suggestions from anyone would be so helpful. I'm so distraught right now.
I am dealing with the exact same symptons you are im on 0.05mg estrogen patch with no relief at all!😱
Clean the area of the patch with an alcohol swap, it will never come off unless you take it off. You can get them from any chemist
I have been going threw the same since 2021. I was on patch but had to switch to pill form.. it's been a nightmare and Drs don't do anything to help
how about giving the missing amount of progesterone? there are doctors recommending doing this
Don't drink your tap water either.
Mary R ooh yep ok now can you give tips on the best shower filter ,mine reduce the water volume as it filters, I'm researching ..Thank you
This is all very confusing. I thought that menopausal women were low in estrogen which has been found to lead to heart disease, alzheimers and osteoporosis. Books like Estrogen Matters discusses the reasons why women should be on hrt so this video is confusing me.
I’m thinking this doesn’t happen to the majority of women.
Too much estrogen caused me to have issues in my uterus and made me 30% at risk for cancer. I ended up having to have a hysterectomy at 35. I went into early menopause (I was already perimenopausal before the surgery) and now 3 years later, without the help of progesterone and other medications and treatments, I have lost 40 pounds on a paleo similar diet. I just stopped consuming dairy recently and switched to Almond Milk. My biggest problem now is not being able to find grass fed or organic meats. In my local stores, they just don't exist!
Look up Butcher Box
How do you know you’re premenopausal cause I’m 32 and for the last couple years I’ve been feeling like that’s what’s happening with me but I keep hearing I’m too young
@NattyByNature-
You need to see your gynecologist and talk about your concerns. Hopefully your gynecologist is a woman! They can set you up with testing and let you know.
Be aware of the oxalates
Love all the info in your videos. My problem is so many supplements, so little time! How do I prioritize???
The bottom line is to reduce your stress so your body will have more progesterone instead of using it to make cortisol. Minor technicality, cortisol is created from pregnenolone, not progesterone. Plus stress wears down the adrenals - have you heard of "adrenal fatigue"? Your doctor probably won't tell you about it, but chronic stress over a lifetime wears out a lot of our organs. Just like eating too much sugar over a lifetime can cause diabetes due to the constant insulin production.
I have gone through menopause 3 years ago but this past year gained 20 pounds not changing a thing! Will balancing the adrenals help with weight loss? It is all in my inner thighs, hips breast and lower belly
I feel like an estrogen Teapot 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶😩🎶here is my handle, here is my spout. When my hormones act up ,hear me shout ……..
Hello Dr. Berg,
This is an excellent video that is incredibly informative and helpful. As I was listening to this video, I started wondering....are there certain segments of the population who might be more sensitive to estrogen dominance, GMO, consumers of corn, have a higher propensity to diseases like diabetes and are now being attacked by external endocrine disruptors?? As an African-American woman, I feel this might explain the higher rate of obesity in AA women. Lower salaries force AA women and families to eat cheaper more processed laced with GMOs which trigger endocrine disfunction which leads to all sorts of problems. 50 years ago AA were not this big. Just my thoughts......what do you think??
What this doctor says is an eye opener. Just today I was marveling at how I could possibly have Estrogen Dominance even though I just completed most of the menopause crap.
How this doctor explains it makes so much sense and I am sure happy I delved into this subject. I just knew my hormones are out of whack, the bigger belly, foodcravings, especially chocolate. Who knew that estrogen could come from different sources after the ovaries shut down? OMG, I did not know that. And I have always, always suspected that estrogen dominance was at the root of my mothers reproductive deadly cancer as well as my aunt's reproductive cancer.
But the biggest point is that this doctor helps save so many lives: because estrogen dominance is the one big thing a woman does not ever want if cancer already runs in her family.
All the reproductive organs of a woman are affected, even after menopause, if there is estrogen dominance. Bad bad news. And I had an irkling about that.
It just all fits together now, this information, like a puzzle that I have to solve if I do not want cancer like my mom and her sister had and die from it like they did.
This is huge. I wondered what the heck was wrong with me because I could not shed the belly fat, and I knew my diet had not changed that much.
Oh my god, this is such an eye opener.
Thank you Doctor Berg, thank you
Got that right, menopause crap it sure is!
8 months later have you lost weight?
Try taking Sea Kelp to reduce estrogen-dominance while boosting your thyroid hormones.

What is that can you explain @@pramuanchutham7355
GREAT VID
I dont like to go to mD s.... I would love to see a vid that really helps us find where our cortisol , progesterone, and estrogen balance are . Really focusing on symptoms so that we can self diagnose , without having blood work done.
I'm good on all the food and a toxin free life style ..... but would really like to get a hard FOCUS on this subject.
WHAT HERBS etc can we focus on not to raise or lower but mainly to balance these horomones????
I appreciate you so much 💛
