I reversed my diabetes from diet . My a1c is 5.2 currently. I was 25 when I was found out I was diabetic. My wa1c was at 21, I was constantly blacking out, sleeping 18hrs a day, crazy stuff. went to the er and had to stay in the hospital for a week. They prescribed metformin and insulin, potassium ktabs and vitamin d 10000 iu twice a week. I stayed on meds for 1 year, and quit then quit them and just did a low carb diet as a lifestyle. I’m now 29 and no issues and can eat sugar whenever I want and it doesn’t do much to my blood sugar.

Kube Dog. I never had a weight problem. I went on the keto diet a year ago for my anxiety, depression, kidney stones and being prediabetic. Having 2 parents with type 2 diabetes, I did not want to become diabetic. I lost over 20 lbs anyhow but I managed to get off all of my prescription drugs for my depression & anxiety as well as detox my kidneys of kidney stones that were causing me frequent kidney infections. Now I struggle with maintaining my weight because I feel better when my ketones are high but being fat adapted, I cannot keep weight on. I am 52 years old, 5’4” 113 lbs. I am losing lean muscle mass. Any ideas? Tried purely carnivore for one week to try and gain weight, but I lost 2 lbs. when I add healthy carbs, my ketones go down and my mood changes drastically 😢
Aïda Hayes Have you ever read about gut health and mental health? That changed my life, 40+ years of anxiety and depression gone, fixed by probiotics and proper eating where as medications never worked.
Kube Dog I tried that. I was OMAD for many months but would snack on coconut butter all day long but I still lost weight. I add butter to everything I eat but since I was OMAD that wasn’t much food. I just recently added lunch which consists of mackerel in olive oil, eggs, cheese and nuts and I think I have stopped losing weight.
MCT oil is great. I found some at my local Grocery Outlet. I take it along with some electrolyte drops and OMAD and keto diet and my heath problems and excess weight are vanishing. I'm 58 and am in my best health in decades.

I use a bullet blender and make green drinks with celery, dandoline greens, celantro, basil, fresh oregano leaves, cucumber, Romain lettuce and lemon. Depending what I have.

@Big Smoke it would be difficult to do it in India! So many delicious dishes. And rice dishes! Although, a few people who follow Dr. Berg from India have commented that they don't get sick from wheat. In the USA, they use Glyphosate (Roundup) on wheat. Indians use a lot of healthy spices that are good for digestion but too much rice. And Basmati rice is delicious! Especially with warm ghee! Also fresh flat breads so delicious! One of my favorite dishes is Palak paneer Sak. I've never been to India but whenever I go out to eat, my preference is Indjan food! I also think Indian relishes, picked and chutneys so delicious! I used to live in Mexico and plan one day to go back but also in tiny rural towns many things keto aren't available. But lots of tropical fruits, beans, rice and meat. But when I lived there I felt healthier. It was much less stressful. Do your best is all any of us can do.
Multiple doctors and blood tests couldn’t tell me what was wrong with me, I can honestly say I was on my way to a slow agonising sad miserable death until I recently came across Dr Eric’s channel OMG in less than 2 months I feel great, thinking clearly, tons of energy, have lost weight, hands down the best doctor in the World as no one else was able to help, thank you Dr Eric you are truly the BEST!!
Hi Dr. Berg, my daughter a I were just comparing our observations when consuming mct oil vs organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. You just validated our reasoning for consuming both oils for different benefits. ♥️
Thx Dr Berg… been using MCT twice a day… I’m 78 and brain function is very good…. Good enough to be almost unassailable in weekly Duolingo competition… especially very early morning…. Oh yes all cancer symptoms have retreated with Keto and time restricted eating my energy high, I walk 6ks every morning
I started MCT oil taking 1 tsp per day to start. I didn't have a laxative effect. After 4 or 5 days, I went up to 1 tbs. I feel like it gives me more energy, and I really feel good doing keto, and MCT oil just enhances it!
Hi Dr, I was just looking at MCT oil product online and how ironicly I saw your episode of 15 of MCT oil benefits being popping up on my notification 😃 perfect timing! Thanks doctor Berg! 😊 Like you're reading my mind lol 😉
@@jumpercable20 hi, so if I use grass fed butter and coconut oil and eat avocado each day is it still ok to take mct oil (say teaspoon) or would mct oil replace these daily?
I use MCT oil in my whey isolate protein shake with grass fed butter and it gives me tons of energy for hours and hours. I get the purely inspired brand since its only $13 when on sale and barely anyone buys it from my local Shoprite so they are always in stock. I also use cold brewed green tea instead of plain water. This combination makes a great breakfast shake for me.
Thankyou so much Dr Berg for guiding me to this vid explaining the great benefits of MCT oil,I had never heard of it,I am in the U.K. and gonna look this up immediately so many benefits.I have been fasting for approx 18 hours per day on 2 meals daily for 3 weeks.
Great video on the benefits of Mct oil. I mix it with an equal amount of ghee & have with my meals. Keeps me full as well as be energetic throughout the day.
DrivingBro google: Sports Research MCT Oil Powder Unflavored with prebiotic fiber mixes with coffee and shakes. I like it so much better than the liquid mct oil. I get mine at either GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe.
MCT oil is really high in calories and fat. And no matter what any diet tells you, you have to be in a calorie deficit to lose body fat. Adding more fat to my diet, even though it’s healthy fats like avocados and almonds and walnuts and olive oil made me gain weight. So I’m hesitant to add MCT oil to my coffee. I just feel like it’s adding more calories that I don’t need.
Dr Berg a big THANK YOU 👏 your health video’s have helped me so much ie ; Candida, arthritis, fungal nail, hypothyroidism etc not forgetting keto & now lm finally loosing some weight & feel so much better. I send your video’s on to my 3 children to help with their ailments. You are a God send literally! thank you for helping us all! 💗

Thank you , Dr. Berg, for all your Great videos. So far, i've changed my diet, and lost 8 lbs in 2 months, showing improvements in my brain function. God Bless you for all your help!
I am on a low carb diet (not keto). You explained that MCT take a fast track to the liver where they are converted to ketones that are then circulated around the body providing energy to the cells. a) What if I ate some carbs so that there was an insulin spike, if I then drank a bullet proof coffee with MCT oil, would some of the ketones be stored as fat in the cells?b) Is it therefore only a good idea to consume MCT oil on a keto diet or at the beginning of a fast?c) Depending on the type of fast, bullet proof coffee could be consumed. If it just contains MCT, then (if I understand correctly) the digestive system is by-passed. However, butter and cream are not MCTs, presumably they are LCTs, so the digestive system would have to deal with them. So adding MCT only would not break a fast in terms of allowing the digestive system to rest and repair itself but if you add butter or cream it would reactivate the digestive system and negate some of the benefits of fasting. Is that correct?
I kept hearing all these wonderful things about MCT Oil but when I consumed a tablespoon in my morning coffee, all it did was make me feel jittery. It gave me this strange energy, as if I'd had an energy drink with far too much sugar. Then one day, I decided to add heavy cream to my coffee and mct oil concoction. And wow! What a game changer! I have no idea why it needs the additional fat from the cream but if I have it with just black coffee, it gives me a strange energy.
In it's natural form it is mixed with long chain fats. MCT oil is a unnatural form that is concentrated. I haven't noticed the issues you mentioned but Ive always had mine with coconut milk powder.
Hi, Dr. Berg I want to thank you so much for helping me. I’m not taking any medicine I used to take it for Diabetes and High Blood Pressure but I stop. I really appreciate you . Please continue with the Great work.
I enjoy your videos so much !! From Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 I will keep learning with your precious knowledge! It helps me understand myself at a different level 🤗
Wow! This channel is awesome! I have learned so much and my health is improving! I love the detailed physiology and science behind his explanations as it relates to health. He doesn’t talk down to you.
Thank Dr you are answering what is on my mind I have been listening to a person who found that her husband was in the beginnings of Alzheimer’s she had some medical knowledge so tired mct oil with coconut oil in small amounts first he started to improve This information you have given is interesting I’m ordering it today ❤
Dr Berg , do you have your own formula of MCT? I know you have the vit D3/K2, which I have purchased but I was wondering if you have a formula that fully concentrates on the oil alone. We can not thank you enough for ALL that you do for humanity!🤩💜
Was having terrible 😫 intestinal pain took 1 teaspoon of oil under my tongue start feeling little better then 2 hrs later ate cucumber tomatoes leafy salad add more mct oil. Like a miracle pain went away after 3 weeks of pain tks dr berg
I can’t drink coffee, even decaf gives me jitters. But the strange thing is, I can drink hot cocoa and I do fine with it. So my question is... can I add MCT oil to hot cocoa instead?
I know this is a year old, but I just wanted to add that I also don't drink coffee, but I do put MCT oil in my tea. I don't think it matters what you put it in, or even if you drink it straight. I just think most people don't prefer to drink it straight, so they put it in their drink.
Ok just received my cholesterol test. Have been doing keto since end of Aug beginning Sept 2019. We have been taking collagen & MCT Oil every morning. 2019 vs 02/20 current date: Nov: 2019 Chol 313, Trig 78, HDL 79, VLDL 16, LDL 218, T.chol/HDL Ratio: 4.0 Feb. 2020 Chol 324, Trig 84, HDL 95, VLDL 16, LDL 212 T.chol/HDL Ratio: 3.4 I won't complain as I was stressing out waiting for results. Chol & Trig went up a tad but all else went the right direction. Now trying to lower the trig all advise welcomed. But all in all...I am both relieved & happy with these numbers as I was concerned since doing Keto.
I want to know if applying coconut oil/ mct oil DIRECTLY to toenails with fungal infections, is beneficial- I'm currently using pure tea tee oil, & a wash with tea tree oil, garlic oil, & oil of oregano, but I've read that colloidal silver and coconut oil applied directly, can be very beneficial... what are your thoughts?💖
Wow can't thank you enough Doc with the MCT oil....before taking the MCT oil with my morning coffee I was doing heavy breakfasts but feeling hungry after 2-3 hours....now I do 2 meals per day....losing weight and feel more energetic....and the best thing is I don't feel pain in my knee after a run or game of soccer with my friends...really amazing can't thank you enough...
you are magnificent Dr Berg, you mentioned a lot about how good it is for the brain , it is beneficial for some one who has schizophrenia, also what do you recommend for this debilitating brain disorder in order to help our loved one who has this through nutrient .much love
I did too with the liquid mct oil. Try the mct oil powder instead. Since switching, I no longer get stomach pains. I use Sports Research brand available at GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe. Start slow and work your way up per Dr. Berg’s suggestion in this video.
Me too! And some nausea! 🥴, I was putting 1 small spoon on my tea 2 a day. ...after a couple days started to feel dome headches, nausea and stomache upseting after eating....propolis its the only thing its giving me some relieve with the pain......before i had the idea of putting on my tea, i was using coconut oil a small spoon, once in a while after eating and never felt nothing.....mybe thats the Key
@@ktortora611 Powder is weaker, that's why. Just take a small dose of the oil and build up to it, depends on your make up. I went straight for a tablespoon of oil and I was fine. Oil is more effective than powder.
I was told I had a fatty liver by my doctor. Will this help or make it worse over time? Thank you for all the great information. If I come across new information I always look for your videos for better info. Seriously. You're the beat.
He slips in a comment about coconut oil here and one of the easiest ways to get MCT is to cook with a small amount of coconut oil. It does not taste like coconut, and has a better quality in many cases to regular oils. I didn't think it would make much of a difference, and I was wrong. It does help suppress appetite.
Dr. Berg, could you please do a video on prolonged fasting (in the sense with what to break the fast with, what would help during the fast etc.) I've been doing OMAD for the past 2-3 months and feeling great, thankfully. So wanted to inquire about your take on the subject including how often to do it (ive already done it twice and feel horrible afterwards, mainly racing heartbeat etc). thank you
Unfortunately taking MCT oil did not have any effect on me even while on the keto lifestyle for over 2 years. I never saw a rise of blood ketones even though I got adjusted to MCT oil and could easily consume 6 tablespoons at a time with no digestive issues. The highest reading I ever saw was 0.6 blood ketones like the MCT oil was not converting at all to blood ketones to raise my total number. The only time I could see a rise in blood ketones is when taking expensive brands of exogenous ketones, not ketones produced within the body
@@denisebotko7456 Do you have any brands of MCT oil (company's selling them, etc. : P ) to recommend, which has a high percentage of C8? 🙂Thanks. (example: Garden of Life's MCT oil any good ? )
Getting rid of belly fat is another huge benefit! And slimming overall. I am not changing anything else in my diet yet (living and cooked vegan) but every day I wake up more slender. Sometimes, you just need that experience to keep going.
Wow!! When I saw your clip about MCT oil helping you sleep? I purchased a quart. I believe it’s making my rest a little easier. I’m 59 and I have some sleep issues and I believe it’s helping! And now I see this clip and I’m going to work it into my Morning! I have started mct gradually and so far I’m easing into it pretty well. God bless you and thank you Dr. Berg we love you and so grateful for all the help that you give me and so many!! 🥰🥩🌼🍗🍳
kelli christophersen I was hoping he’d mention the sleep benefit. I started taking it at night when he said he was trialing it, and I feel I do get better sleep. Just need to remember to take it before bedtime.
Hi Dr Berg What's the difference between Sea Kelp and Hawaiian Spiralina and which is better? Can we take both? When is the best time to take all the different vitamins? Is there a schedule to go by for the best results? Thanks for all your videos!😇💖👍 I'm slowly 25 down and 14 inches off in 6mos. Clear brain, lots of energy, working on longer fasting. Just threw out my Calcium carbonate today. Every little bit helps!😇👍
Hey Dr. Berg! What is your take on supplementary mushrooms? I take chaga, lions mane and cordyceps sinensis daily, but I've never thought about pros and cons related to a keto lifestyle. Any tips?
Well, since it bypasses the gall bladder, and I had my removed because it quit on me, that's some pretty handy info. Thanks Dr.Berg, very helpful. 👍 I actually picked some up for the first time yesterday and tried a table spoon in my morning coffee. Felt pretty good til this evening, had a hiccup in my diet plan. I'm planning on a bit in the mornings basically as a test run. If it has cognitive benefits alone, I'll keep getting it, nevermind all the other benefits (which are great as well of course; particularly concerned about improving recall).
Omg, I am glad I found this because I just started with mct, I did a tbsp for three days and had diarrhea 😅😅😅, definitely gonna drop it down to 1/2 tsp to build some tolerance
+Dr. Berg, hi. Your Channel has really come a long way in improving visuals, etc. If I may suggest 2 items: to always provide a transcript, so that we do not have to transcribe word for word ourselves. 2) Point to references or citations in the below section. This all would top off a very polished channel. Best wishes.
For some reason MCT oil is making me having heart arrhythmia. I started adding MCT oil in my tea or coffee in the morning. A few hours later during the same day I started feeling a heart beat or two that was out of order, and very scary. And this is reproducible, it happens every time when I use the MCT. No MCT, no problem. With MCT arrhythmia, always. I have no idea why.... I wish It wasn’t like this but that’s how I am. Dr. Berg why is this?
Although most will benefit from MCT, we all have unique metabolism‘s that process things differently. In your case, it would appear that MCT is not compatible with your metabolism.
I've been taking 2-3 tablespons of mct oil daily for almost a year alongside intermittent fasting. I'm a stone lighter, gut function is great, as i was feeling so good on it i also decided to give up alcohol. At age 51 I'm the happiest and most focused i've ever been👍👍

@Big Smoke it would be difficult to do it in India! So many delicious dishes. And rice dishes! Although, a few people who follow Dr. Berg from India have commented that they don't get sick from wheat. In the USA, they use Glyphosate (Roundup) on wheat.
Indians use a lot of healthy spices that are good for digestion but too much rice. And Basmati rice is delicious! Especially with warm ghee! Also fresh flat breads so delicious!
One of my favorite dishes is Palak paneer Sak. I've never been to India but whenever I go out to eat, my preference is Indjan food! I also think Indian relishes, picked and chutneys so delicious!
I used to live in Mexico and plan one day to go back but also in tiny rural towns many things keto aren't available. But lots of tropical fruits, beans, rice and meat. But when I lived there I felt healthier. It was much less stressful.
Do your best is all any of us can do.
@@ceilconstante7813 Well done and I wish you the best. I listen to Dr. Berg, Dr. Jason Fung & Dr. Berry. Love eating fat, always have.
Dr. Berg is amazing. I have learned many things from him watching his videos.
Multiple doctors and blood tests couldn’t tell me what was wrong with me, I can honestly say I was on my way to a slow agonising sad miserable death until I recently came across Dr Eric’s channel OMG in less than 2 months I feel great, thinking clearly, tons of energy, have lost weight, hands down the best doctor in the World as no one else was able to help, thank you Dr Eric you are truly the BEST!!
Hi Dr. Berg, my daughter a I were just comparing our observations when consuming mct oil vs organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. You just validated our reasoning for consuming both oils for different benefits. ♥️
Thx Dr Berg… been using MCT twice a day… I’m 78 and brain function is very good…. Good enough to be almost unassailable in weekly Duolingo competition… especially very early morning…. Oh yes all cancer symptoms have retreated with Keto and time restricted eating my energy high, I walk 6ks every morning
I love your voice. It is so soothing. ❤️
I started MCT oil taking 1 tsp per day to start. I didn't have a laxative effect. After 4 or 5 days, I went up to 1 tbs. I feel like it gives me more energy, and I really feel good doing keto, and MCT oil just enhances it!
Anyone else here binge watching Dr berg? 90% of his videos I don't even use but find just so fascinating. Great knowledge and informational content!!
Thanks so much Dr. Berg! Your simple explanations have helped me so much! I feel great, sleep great, no aches and pains. Food is medicine.
Doctor with 4.5 million subscribers how do you have time to be so good to us ?
Thank you Dr. Berg. Always always great-value contents!
Hi Dr, I was just looking at MCT oil product online and how ironicly I saw your episode of 15 of MCT oil benefits being popping up on my notification 😃 perfect timing! Thanks doctor Berg! 😊 Like you're reading my mind lol 😉
I saw MCT oil in the coffee section at WalMart -
It's an algorithm or A.I. whatever you want to call it.
Not perfect timing....an algorithm.....keeping tabs on you.
@@jumpercable20 hi, so if I use grass fed butter and coconut oil and eat avocado each day is it still ok to take mct oil (say teaspoon) or would mct oil replace these daily?
@@jumpercable20 thanks so much
Have started taking it in small amounts and yes feel most of those affects that you talk about.
Watching this while drinking my coffe with MCT oil :D
Same
Yeah buddy!
I use MCT oil in my whey isolate protein shake with grass fed butter and it gives me tons of energy for hours and hours. I get the purely inspired brand since its only $13 when on sale and barely anyone buys it from my local Shoprite so they are always in stock. I also use cold brewed green tea instead of plain water. This combination makes a great breakfast shake for me.
nice
When used w/ coffee, it just sits on top. Tried to mix, but changes coffee. Any suggestions? Thanks
I’m using MCT oil to aid with intermittent fasting while doing keto.
what is that in your mouth?
Chewing gum
I think they said MCT Oil.😗
Thankyou so much Dr Berg for guiding me to this vid explaining the great benefits of MCT oil,I had never heard of it,I am in the U.K. and gonna look this up immediately so many benefits.I have been fasting for approx 18 hours per day on 2 meals daily for 3 weeks.
Great video on the benefits of Mct oil. I mix it with an equal amount of ghee & have with my meals. Keeps me full as well as be energetic throughout the day.
I need to get back on this! Missing it and doc pointed me in the right direction once again.
Thank you Dr. Berg. I'm continuing my diet with coconut.. Not hungry, feeling much healthy and active, burning plataeued weight now.
I've been taking MCT powder in coffee once a day, all summer. Never noticed any bowel changes.
DrivingBro google: Sports Research MCT Oil Powder Unflavored with prebiotic fiber mixes with coffee and shakes. I like it so much better than the liquid mct oil. I get mine at either GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe.
@@drivingbro Powder definitely is not on par with high quality organic oil and it contains carbs, which is a deal breaker for me.
MCT oil is really high in calories and fat. And no matter what any diet tells you, you have to be in a calorie deficit to lose body fat. Adding more fat to my diet, even though it’s healthy fats like avocados and almonds and walnuts and olive oil made me gain weight. So I’m hesitant to add MCT oil to my coffee. I just feel like it’s adding more calories that I don’t need.
@@HH-gv8mxit reduces hunger tho and keeps you energized so why not...
"Digestive troubles" is the diplomatic way of saying volcanic diaherrea. Depending on what you have to do that day it may be a plus or a minus.
Dr Berg a big THANK YOU 👏 your health video’s have helped me so much ie ; Candida, arthritis, fungal nail, hypothyroidism etc not forgetting keto & now lm finally loosing some weight & feel so much better. I send your video’s on to my 3 children to help with their ailments. You are a God send literally! thank you for helping us all! 💗

Great information and clear breakdown of benefits and how the body uses mct oil! 👍🏾
Great facts, and another well-explained video! Thanks again!
It's my pleasure! Glad you liked it.
Thank you , Dr. Berg, for all your Great videos. So far, i've changed my diet, and lost 8 lbs in 2 months, showing improvements in my brain function. God Bless you for all your help!
I am on a low carb diet (not keto). You explained that MCT take a fast track to the liver where they are converted to ketones that are then circulated around the body providing energy to the cells. a) What if I ate some carbs so that there was an insulin spike, if I then drank a bullet proof coffee with MCT oil, would some of the ketones be stored as fat in the cells?b) Is it therefore only a good idea to consume MCT oil on a keto diet or at the beginning of a fast?c) Depending on the type of fast, bullet proof coffee could be consumed. If it just contains MCT, then (if I understand correctly) the digestive system is by-passed. However, butter and cream are not MCTs, presumably they are LCTs, so the digestive system would have to deal with them. So adding MCT only would not break a fast in terms of allowing the digestive system to rest and repair itself but if you add butter or cream it would reactivate the digestive system and negate some of the benefits of fasting. Is that correct?
I kept hearing all these wonderful things about MCT Oil but when I consumed a tablespoon in my morning coffee, all it did was make me feel jittery. It gave me this strange energy, as if I'd had an energy drink with far too much sugar. Then one day, I decided to add heavy cream to my coffee and mct oil concoction. And wow! What a game changer! I have no idea why it needs the additional fat from the cream but if I have it with just black coffee, it gives me a strange energy.
In it's natural form it is mixed with long chain fats. MCT oil is a unnatural form that is concentrated. I haven't noticed the issues you mentioned but Ive always had mine with coconut milk powder.
i just bought a bottle of this stuff yesterday. looking forward to the benefits!!! you the man Dr. Berg!!!!
Cool video! You keep surprising me 😅👍
MCT, must be working.
I have a very happy mind!
Haha!
Hi, Dr. Berg I want to thank you so much for helping me. I’m not taking any medicine I used to take it for Diabetes and High Blood Pressure but I stop. I really appreciate you . Please continue with the Great work.
I enjoy your videos so much !! From Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 I will keep learning with your precious knowledge! It helps me understand myself at a different level 🤗
Dr Beeg is the best and 3yrs later he has 10 million subscribers and still he is great.
Why do some people say diabetics shouldn’t take it? It curbs my appetite all day!!
Thank you Dr. Berg I just bought some MCT Oil at the health food store. Great video👍 God Bless You and Your Family Dr. Berg FOREVER AMEN🙇♀️✝️🙏
Wow! This channel is awesome! I have learned so much and my health is improving! I love the detailed physiology and science behind his explanations as it relates to health. He doesn’t talk down to you.
Thank Dr you are answering what is on my mind I have been listening to a person who found that her husband was in the beginnings of Alzheimer’s she had some medical knowledge so tired mct oil with coconut oil in small amounts first he started to improve This information you have given is interesting I’m ordering it today ❤
Hi can you tell what brand of the MCT oil you ordered?
Dr.Berg,you have added so much wellness to my health and my life! Thank you for all you do for us all.❤🎉
Great. Glad to be of help. Wishing you good health!
Dr Berg , do you have your own formula of MCT? I know you have the vit D3/K2, which I have purchased but I was wondering if you have a formula that fully concentrates on the oil alone.
We can not thank you enough for ALL that you do for humanity!🤩💜
Was having terrible 😫 intestinal pain took 1 teaspoon of oil under my tongue start feeling little better then 2 hrs later ate cucumber tomatoes leafy salad add more mct oil. Like a miracle pain went away after 3 weeks of pain tks dr berg
Dr you are true inspiration
I’m on my third bottle of MCT OIL I HAVE IT EVERY MORNING IN MY COFFEE thank you dr Berg
@Susan Morris What MCT oil brand do you consume/recommend?
Bestest Dr in the world😀thank u Dr Berg for all you do.
Just found dr Berg....just started keto 2 weeks ago and I find him so informative. Wish he lived in South Africa so I could go to his practice
I can’t drink coffee, even decaf gives me jitters. But the strange thing is, I can drink hot cocoa and I do fine with it. So my question is... can I add MCT oil to hot cocoa instead?
I know this is a year old, but I just wanted to add that I also don't drink coffee, but I do put MCT oil in my tea. I don't think it matters what you put it in, or even if you drink it straight. I just think most people don't prefer to drink it straight, so they put it in their drink.
Just keep in mind there is a difference in cacao and cocoa....
It's tasteless oil. I drink it straight from the spoon.
Same here @@lalaAsh
I add collagen to mine it helps
Ok just received my cholesterol test. Have been doing keto since end of Aug beginning Sept 2019. We have been taking collagen & MCT Oil every morning.
2019 vs 02/20 current date:
Nov: 2019
Chol 313, Trig 78, HDL 79, VLDL 16, LDL 218,
T.chol/HDL Ratio: 4.0
Feb. 2020
Chol 324, Trig 84, HDL 95,
VLDL 16, LDL 212
T.chol/HDL Ratio: 3.4
I won't complain as I was stressing out waiting for results.
Chol & Trig went up a tad but all else went the right direction. Now trying to lower the trig all advise welcomed. But all in all...I am both relieved & happy with these numbers as I was concerned since doing Keto.
I want to know if applying coconut oil/ mct oil DIRECTLY to toenails with fungal infections, is beneficial- I'm currently using pure tea tee oil, & a wash with tea tree oil, garlic oil, & oil of oregano, but I've read that colloidal silver and coconut oil applied directly, can be very beneficial... what are your thoughts?💖
I'd give it a try. I heard somewhere that listerine and peroxide soak works well. Just a thought, good luck.
Wow can't thank you enough Doc with the MCT oil....before taking the MCT oil with my morning coffee I was doing heavy breakfasts but feeling hungry after 2-3 hours....now I do 2 meals per day....losing weight and feel more energetic....and the best thing is I don't feel pain in my knee after a run or game of soccer with my friends...really amazing can't thank you enough...
Thanks Dr. Berg! WilI we get the same benefits by eating young coconut meat instead?
Learned the hard way of taking too much at first. It was awful especially already having digestive problems! Yikes!!
You are a wonderful Dr. I truely appreciate your knowledgeable work. Thank you.
Thankyou so much d Dr Eric, for this wonderful article in this video, happy Sunday Dr. Gbu
you are magnificent Dr Berg, you mentioned a lot about how good it is for the brain , it is beneficial for some one who has schizophrenia, also what do you recommend for this debilitating brain disorder in order to help our loved one who has this through nutrient .much love
It is also great for people who are not doing the keto diet. More energy, mental clarity and better digestion.
I use a powdered a MCT oil because it mixes in my coffee, only other product in my MCT powder is prebiotic acacia gum fiber,
What brand do you use? is it vegan?
You are my Doctor! Thank you for your help with me becoming healthier and happier!
Thrilled to hear it, thanks!
MINE TOO!!!!!!!!!
I had stomach pains after taking mct oil. I'll have to try it again and ease into it!!
I did too with the liquid mct oil. Try the mct oil powder instead. Since switching, I no longer get stomach pains. I use Sports Research brand available at GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe. Start slow and work your way up per Dr. Berg’s suggestion in this video.
Me too! And some nausea! 🥴, I was putting 1 small spoon on my tea 2 a day.
...after a couple days started to feel dome headches, nausea and stomache upseting after eating....propolis its the only thing its giving me some relieve with the pain......before i had the idea of putting on my tea, i was using coconut oil a small spoon, once in a while after eating and never felt nothing.....mybe thats the Key
@@ktortora611 Powder is weaker, that's why. Just take a small dose of the oil and build up to it, depends on your make up. I went straight for a tablespoon of oil and I was fine. Oil is more effective than powder.
@@andreiapereira9500 Maybe you're intolerant to it, it's unusual to have that effect. Also try a better brand, there's lots of cheap crap out there.
I was told I had a fatty liver by my doctor. Will this help or make it worse over time? Thank you for all the great information. If I come across new information I always look for your videos for better info. Seriously. You're the beat.
Dr Berg... The Mr. Rogers of the medical field 🤗💛
He slips in a comment about coconut oil here and one of the easiest ways to get MCT is to cook with a small amount of coconut oil. It does not taste like coconut, and has a better quality in many cases to regular oils. I didn't think it would make much of a difference, and I was wrong. It does help suppress appetite.
Dr. Berg, could you please do a video on prolonged fasting (in the sense with what to break the fast with, what would help during the fast etc.) I've been doing OMAD for the past 2-3 months and feeling great, thankfully. So wanted to inquire about your take on the subject including how often to do it (ive already done it twice and feel horrible afterwards, mainly racing heartbeat etc). thank you
I did - so a search on this
This is the firstvtime I have ever heard of benefits of MCT oil, coconut. Thank you.
Unfortunately taking MCT oil did not have any effect on me even while on the keto lifestyle for over 2 years. I never saw a rise of blood ketones even though I got adjusted to MCT oil and could easily consume 6 tablespoons at a time with no digestive issues. The highest reading I ever saw was 0.6 blood ketones like the MCT oil was not converting at all to blood ketones to raise my total number. The only time I could see a rise in blood ketones is when taking expensive brands of exogenous ketones, not ketones produced within the body
Only C8 has any effect... the other range of chains (10, 12 etc) do very little- research the difference...
@@denisebotko7456 Do you have any brands of MCT oil (company's selling them, etc. : P ) to recommend, which has a high percentage of C8? 🙂Thanks. (example: Garden of Life's MCT oil any good ? )
MCT is more expensive than regular coconut oil,would coconut works same way? Thank you Dr Berg💜💜💜
Vavvvvvvvvvvv didn't know all, it is really great! By the way love the picture being showed when talking about immune system very powerful
Getting rid of belly fat is another huge benefit! And slimming overall. I am not changing anything else in my diet yet (living and cooked vegan) but every day I wake up more slender. Sometimes, you just need that experience to keep going.
C8 MCT oil actually kick started my weight loss .. I had stalled for mos ... and started losing weight adding 1 teaspoon to my coffee
I need food with MCT oil. I was putting it in my tea or coffee and my stomach would be upset for about an hour. It’s a game changer for health.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg. Please do a comparison using this list with olive oil vs mct oil.
What is the best MCT oil for the Brain ?????
Wow!! When I saw your clip about MCT oil helping you sleep? I purchased a quart. I believe it’s making my rest a little easier. I’m 59 and I have some sleep issues and I believe it’s helping! And now I see this clip and I’m going to work it into my Morning! I have started mct gradually and so far I’m easing into it pretty well. God bless you and thank you Dr. Berg we love you and so grateful for all the help that you give me and so many!! 🥰🥩🌼🍗🍳
kelli christophersen I was hoping he’d mention the sleep benefit. I started taking it at night when he said he was trialing it, and I feel I do get better sleep. Just need to remember to take it before bedtime.
I just want to say Thank You Dr. Berg. This is very informative.
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you, Dr Berg.
Thank you dr berg mct energy lowered blood sugar following you for 3 years
Thanks! always happy to help, Keep posted for more videos
Hi Dr Berg
What's the difference between Sea Kelp and Hawaiian Spiralina and which is better? Can we take both?
When is the best time to take all the different vitamins? Is there a schedule to go by for the best results? Thanks for all your videos!😇💖👍
I'm slowly 25 down and 14 inches off in 6mos. Clear brain, lots of energy, working on longer fasting.
Just threw out my Calcium carbonate today.
Every little bit helps!😇👍
I was using it as topping over my food before baking at 350°-400°
Why does the temperature has to below 320°
Hey Dr. Berg! What is your take on supplementary mushrooms? I take chaga, lions mane and cordyceps sinensis daily, but I've never thought about pros and cons related to a keto lifestyle. Any tips?
what are the minus points of consuming this? is there any list?
Well, since it bypasses the gall bladder, and I had my removed because it quit on me, that's some pretty handy info. Thanks Dr.Berg, very helpful. 👍
I actually picked some up for the first time yesterday and tried a table spoon in my morning coffee. Felt pretty good til this evening, had a hiccup in my diet plan. I'm planning on a bit in the mornings basically as a test run. If it has cognitive benefits alone, I'll keep getting it, nevermind all the other benefits (which are great as well of course; particularly concerned about improving recall).
Omg, I am glad I found this because I just started with mct, I did a tbsp for three days and had diarrhea 😅😅😅, definitely gonna drop it down to 1/2 tsp to build some tolerance
I've been watching all your videos for years and learning a lot...great info on the MCT Oil
+Dr. Berg, hi. Your Channel has really come a long way in improving visuals, etc.
If I may suggest 2 items: to always provide a transcript, so that we do not have to transcribe word for word ourselves.
2) Point to references or citations in the below section. This all would top off a very polished channel. Best wishes.
Very informative video, Dr. Berg. You have nailed it! 😊
Quick question:
Whenever I take an MCT oil capsule, why do I experience palpitations?
Try a different brand - that one could have other ingredients or is rancid
This...Will Definitely help with epilepsy, thank you for all the info. 💖🤟
For some reason MCT oil is making me having heart arrhythmia. I started adding MCT oil in my tea or coffee in the morning. A few hours later during the same day I started feeling a heart beat or two that was out of order, and very scary. And this is reproducible, it happens every time when I use the MCT. No MCT, no problem. With MCT arrhythmia, always. I have no idea why.... I wish It wasn’t like this but that’s how I am. Dr. Berg why is this?
Although most will benefit from MCT, we all have unique metabolism‘s that process things differently. In your case, it would appear that MCT is not compatible with your metabolism.
MCT OIL is great but it makes me sweat … does anyone else have this problem?
Can't find mct oil here in my country, I'll stick with coconut oil for now. Thanks dr. Berg!
I was surprised to see MCT oil in the coffee section at WalMart - has to do with something called bulletproof coffee - so they stock it now.
@@vinjulieann1 does it taste coconuty?
@@dyahviona no
