Doc, the only people not benefiting from your content is the people who have not found it. Thank you so much for empowering our lives. Blessings to you and yours
The only ones who benefit are those who can't stick on a horrible Keto diet. Yes it is but not to his followers of course. I try to cut carbs as much as I can but some of US have taste buds that dislike to a great degree many of the best FOODs. Walk a mile in my mouth. Good advice from Dr Berg who is the best on here but just sayin I sort of hate coming on here for good advice and thinking I can't like his foods and feeling bad that I don't eat well. I do take lots of supplements including Vit D to try to make up for a lousy diet. In fact I take more supplements than foods to those people who wonder into my vitamin stock and refrigerator loaded with every supplement know to many . Don't worry I take most of it not every day. Also if god was less malevolent he would have made my taste buds better suited for the Keto. I wish Berg would talk about the often malevolent god of the good books who just has a stranglehold
@Oppothumbs M also it is Quite expensive. I am the cook for our family and doing the fasting for 5 days in a row is so Very Hard. I am a stay at home wife/mother.
@@oppothumbs1 I understand maybe you have taste buds that “don’t like” certain foods but personally I feel like it’s completely possible to train your taste buds to enjoy the most nutritious foods that many “dislike” - personally I believe it takes consistency to train your palate as well as patience (especially when trying to inculcate a new food we may “dislike” or simply haven’t gotten used to) - wish you nothing but health and wellness 👍
@@oppothumbs1 You do know that picky eating is a habitual thing right? It is totally possible to learn to like food/tastes you previously despised. You need to train yourself to like it, but unfortunately some just give up and stick with the tastes they are already comfortable with. Look it up, hope it helps.
I’ve been taking the D3 and k2 vitamin before bed and I sleep through the night but the best part for me is waking up feeling happy and ready for the day.
I had very low vitamin D from undiagnosed celiac disease about 5 years ago. I became extremely depressed, sick, I had sores all over my head. I couldn't get up. When I took the 1st vitamin D supplement the sky got brighter and color came back to my vision and I began to come alive. I cried tears of joy the day I took it. Then I changed my diet and really got better. I give vitamin D to my teenagers to avoid depression.
Same thing happened to me. It was like my soul came back to my body, I've been depressed for YEARSSSSSSSSSS. After taking vitamin D, LOL depression gone, hilarious.
Hi Doc, I had a sleeping problem for years (almost 6+ years) & I also had the problem of overthinking when I am in bed. Recently, I started taking Vit-D + 1 tab of Nutritional Yeast before going to bed & it worked like a miracle for me. Now, I am sleeping much better without waking up in the middle of the night & I feel fully energized in the morning. Thank you so much for changing my life!!
@@karannain5901 I have been taking Vit-D for a long time but I used to take only 1000 IU (1 cap) in the morning, but now I take 2-3000 IU in the morning & 2000 IU before going to bed. I started this new routine about 3 weeks ago & I am already seeing a huge difference.
I took D with dinner and and had pretty bad insomnia. I found out that D is a SUNSHINE vitamin. Coworker told me it gave her energy she said she took hers in the morning. I started doing that and immediately I was able to fall asleep at night. I always take D with breakfast.
Hello Dr. Berg!!! My wife and I have been taking your d3/k2 supplement for one month now, 40,000 iu’s per day. One of the key benefits we saw within 4 days was a much deeper sleep. It’s was astonishing to both of us. Sleep scores went from mid to high 70’s up to solid mid to high 80’s!!! Our energy levels have improved, mood has been much better, hip and back pain has become almost none existent and our skin feels silky smooth now!!! First thing I do every morning is run my fingers together and it just boggles the mind. I suppose we were both very deficient in Vit D and I’ve been telling all my family and friend about your videos and products!! Thank you for sharing you vast knowledge with us. My favorite quote of all time- “You can only take with you that in which you’ve given away”!! It’s a Wonderful Life….and you are a very wealthy man here on earth and beyond! 🙋♂️🙏. Thank you again!
Do you take all 40K IU’s at one time and is it morning or evening? I purchased this supplement, and I am trying to figure out the dose. It says take 1 or 4 capsules per day, but not more than 3 at bedtime. I’m confused.
Too much units of vitamin D.. Creates unnecessary kidney related issues.. For men recommended daily Dosage of vitamin D is 400 units.. If you take access your kidneys get damage someday not now
40000 ius a day sounds like lot imo. I'm no md, but my mds recommended 20000 IU once a week to build it up when you're deficient. I personally have experience taking 20000 IUs every other day, but I stopped when I reached a sufficient level. take care guys~
@@real_Gi research shows that one would have to take 60,000 IU over the course of years to have any toxic effect on your body. Even then, the body only absorbs about 40% - 60% of the vitamins we consume. Dr. Berg also stated that it would take about 100,000 IUs over a long period of time (years) to have any toxic affect so I'm sure it's fine.
@@francisibitoye9317 ok got ya. With my dosage of 20000 IU every other day, it took like 3 months until I reached a really good level. i got regular blood tests back then. During that time I checked in with my mom and she told me that she had a kidney stone removed because she had been taking vitamine d daily a few years back. I don't know her dosage back then, but that made me a bit cautious regarding taking it without making any bloodtests. i dont wanna make ppl worry unnecessarily, but a test after some months is probably not a bad idea. much love~
Appreciate your remarks about the time of day to take Vitamin D, and with fat. Many of us might find it helpful if you did a video on when to take various vitamins and supplements throughout the day and which ones to avoid taking together, etc. I know I would. Best wishes.
I think he has done one...and maybe it was since your comment. I think even better is if he explained how and why supplements do or don't take you out of ketosis or autophagy.
my doctor has prescribed me with 60k vit d3 once a week. then how to take k2 along with it. should I take 6 capsules of 100mcg at once or 1caps of 100mcg daily?
I’m sharing my success story as requested. Healthy Keto has changed so much for me! I watched your videos for about three months and took a giant leap of faith eight months ago. In that time the following things have happened: I went from flirting with pre-diabetes to normal levels of blood sugar; my cholesterol decreased to a normal range; my energy increased; my mood brightened; my sleep has begun to improve; I’m pooping more regularly; and I’ve lost 10 lbs. I need to lose at least 10 more and know that will happen now that I’m healthier. I’m thrilled and grateful!
I’ve started taking my vitamins…multi, B complex and D3 about an hour before bed. I’m usually asleep within a few minutes of going to bed. I’ve learned so much about different health issues by subscribing to your channel. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
I eat two tablespoons of non-fortified nutritional yeast (for the B vitamins), and take vitamin D3 with 2 tablespoons of olive oil right before bed, and I am on a long streak of sleeping well like a baby. Before that I hadn't slept well in years (since having kids). Thanks Dr Berg!
I wanted to have yeast to but as i have gut n candida issue... I think its not suitable for this..... Anyone knows that should it be taken with these issues like gut n SIBO issues?????
Nutritional yeast can sometimes be tricky----the high Vit B-6 can sometimes cause dreams to be too vivid and interfere with sleep. 2T must be just right for you to sleep well. The 28 g fat is probably also helping to keep your hunger at bay if you are doing intermittent fasting...thus promoting sleep. I would find it very unpalatable to swallow 2 T oil esp right before bed. I take my Vit D3 in the middle of the day with a can of bone-in sardines (in olive oil) and about 2T nutritional yeast sprinkled in lukewarm tea or on various foods throughout the day.
@@jihashahid4116 for your circumstances get yourself tested via Gogiman on YT. He has fixes lots of people. Nutritional Yeast Island inactive form of years so won't make candida worse
I’m getting so much from your videos. My daughter and I are new keto people and are thriving on it. Thank you for making the transition easier by helping us to understand the whole concept. You explain things so well. We are both feeling much more alert and full of energy.
Since I don’t have no health insurance, I look to see if you have a video that can help me. And actually even if I had health insurance I honestly don’t trust most Doctors. I still like to look for remedies that is healthy and not harmful.. thank you for all the information!!! And please keep the video coming!
Dear Doctor Berg, I watch your videos a lot. I have lost 46 lbs in 6 months and I'm not on HBP meds anymore. Low carb, ACV, MCT, keto, no bread, no wheat, no sugar. Only whole foods and I do I.F. for 18 hours/day and OMAD about 3 times a week. Thank you thank you thank you. God bless you. Oh....and my arthritis is nearly gone. My pain is down about 80%.
I have trouble sleeping due to autoimmune disease. For the past four nights I took vit D before bed. It really worked! Instead of waking up in the middle of night and staying awake for hours, I can sleep through. Hallelujah.
Hi Dr. Berg, I found your videos while I was recovering from pacemaker installation surgery in May 2021. I've been under stress from medical issues and started taking your vitamin D3 + K2 at night just before bed and it works great at helping me relax, turn my brain off, and get to sleep. Thank you!
Starting following Dr Berg when searching fasting 1.5 years ago. I was 205, pain everywhere, depressed, couldn’t sleep, and felt like shit! I started keto like he said, then went to keto w/ intermittent fasting, then cut out diet sodas and all drinks other than water, tea, wine, etc. When I cheat I drink the Virgil keto drink and it’s perfect… anyway, thank you Dr Berg, for all your knowledge and information. You probably saved my life! 170 today, no pain, feel great! Sleep great, I’ve had one cold in 1.5 years. Look and feel like a different person. If I kick out of Keto, I get right back in w/ fasting for 36 hours and eating keto. Easy breezy! Now I eat all organic, grass fed, no shit!! Cost a little more and worth every penny
Here is my experience in keto: the best thing in keto and fast is that I don’t have to eat many times, because I really don’t like to spend time in eating…
@@yfdz6959 okay, here’s the secret of Keto: you should eat just when you feel really hungry, not when you want to spend good time with eating, or anything else, and: when you keep like that you will never think about food all the time, but you must eat lot of fat, every morning I drink big cup of coffee with creamy milk, it’s can keep me away from hungry until 2 o’clock , then I eat my lunch: salad with meat and egg cooked by olive oil without bread or rice or potatoes or any other of carbs, and that’s all my food every day, just one meal every day, and it’s really like freedom of eating all the time..
I tried this, as I’ve had progressively more problems with sleep. Taking vitamin D3 before bed causes insane insomnia for me. I don’t sleep the entire night. No exaggeration. I wish this nighttime strategy worked for me.
Dr. Berg, you and a handful of other Dr.’s are leading this charge of better diet for America. 272 days for me on zero/low carb diet. 50 years old and I’m the healthiest I’ve been in 20 years. Just ordered your D3/K2 drops. You are changing lives through your knowledge and content. DONT STOP! Thank you!
ive done this i’m a recovering addict and ever since i’ve been following dr bergs diet and supplement regimen and I can’t even begin to explain how much better i feel - thank you so much for your content i spread all the knowledge to many people that are in recovery - your are a god send ❤
Thank you so much for solving a problem I had while intermittent fasting. I always thought vitamins were energizers that would hamper sleep, and since I wasn't eating until after 6 PM, gave up taking vitamin D for fear that it would keep me awake!
I love your short and sweet videos. You have the right recipe for getting people to engage. Short, concise, and packed with great information. Thank you!
I have to tell you thank you, I have been doing IF for 2 weeks. I'm down 10 lb, I don't feel deprived of anything have not had any flu symptoms and have noticed a lot of improvement with my joints. A lot of this I think is due to taking large numbers of supplements. Everything from pro-resolving mediators, B complex, D3, K & E., your content is so on point. Thank you once again and I look forward to hearing that video on optic nerve problems. Maybe u could talk about Bartonella and vision loss.
I've been dealing with a chronic urticaria/eczema outbreak since my vaccine in May. For the past 4 weeks I've been paying attention to my vitamin and eating habits, trying to get more sleep...cut out alcohol and all added sugars. Seems to be helping some but it's such a slow process. I'll keep it up and report back. Thank you for your videos.
On your video When to Take Vitamins, you suggested post menopausal should take D3 w/K2 and fat/food. Calcium at night. So, I do this and I've been sleeping better than I have in years. Plus, I doubled my D3 to 10,000IU because I have MS, so far, this has also helped. Thank you Dr Berg, I wish I had a real life Dr that encouraged good nutrition and natural healing. I know Dr's get busy, one patient after another, but, they could write publications on it and encourage their patients to read them?!
Dr Berg you are an absolute diamond. My Vitamin D levels have been very low, so i was told when I purchased some capsules to take them in the morning. However recently I decided to try a new variety with olive oil already added, and took it in the evening. I had one of the DEEPEST nights sleep that I’ve had in AGES, and I was sure it was because of the capsule in the evening, so thank you very much for confirming. My sleep has been extremely poor for years, which has left me feeling constantly fatigued, so here’s hoping that things will now improve. 😊👍🏾
Do you still take vitamin d before bed? How much do you take? I'm so confused because some people say vitamin d before bed causes poor sleep and insomnia. Others say it helps sleep. I wonder if it has to do with low magnesium. I heard that vitamin d supplementation can exacerbate low magnesium. But if someone has enough magnesium, vitamin d should theoretically help their sleep.
How can doctor Berg drop more hits then all these fitness gurus who be spending 10-20mins every video?? He takes 2-5mins on average for his videos and there’s no unnecessary information - only nuggets. This man is special!!
I am taking your complex of D3 & K2 (and other nice things in it) I am taking it right before the sleep and I have very nice and deep sleep, days if I missed it I am waiting up during the night. Also I observed that it is much better absorption when I am drinking with apple cider vinegar with carbonated water! I love that complex
In one of your videos, you recommended waiting until 10 to 11 to go to bed for sleeping problems. I had tried everything else except melatonin because I just didn't want to have to take something. The 10:00 to 10:30 bedtime was what did it for me. Who would have thought it was something so simple? Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Dr. Berg, thank you very much for all your content. My mother and I were privileged to see you when you were in practice in Arlington, VA. I have been diagnosed with an. autoimmune disorder and have been trying to improve my overall health using many of your suggestions, I also wholeheartedly recommend your videos to friends.
I’ve never had sleep problems until I took vitamin D before bed because I forgot to take it during the day. For me, taking vitamin D before bed had the opposite effect. It keeps me awake for hours.
"those who have faith and whose hearts find peace in the remembrance of God- truly it is in the remembrance of God that hearts find peace" (13:28) Holy Qur'an - Abdul Haleem translation I have also found serenity in these ways. May the One God allow us to continue.
I’ve been taking d3 right before bed for a while now. I spleen great. I also, combine with omega 3, but add k2, garlic and magnesium for my evening “cocktail”
Everyone should experiment to what time will work for You. Some take it at night and do well while others take it in mornings. It's a personal journey to figure out but once you figure it, it's awesome!
I work 3rd shift so sleep is very important timing. Before keto/low carb I had sleeping problems, usually getting around 6 hours or less of sleep. After doing keto/low carb + OMAD for some months, taking supplements, I noticed I've been sleeping more. I eat my meal before bed, but I'm also taking 50,000 IU D-3. I'm still trying to get past chronic fatigue but doing somewhat better when I wake up.
Thank you for all those information. But can you please make a video … and explain when to take vitamin D , K2 , B1, B2 … magnesium , Zink ? And what can I take together or better not . Thank you ☺️
I no longer crave sweets and the bottom of my feet no longer itch. You’ve really helped me to eat better. Im on a statin but I eat radishes every day. Thank you so much.
Unfortunately when I was stressed, had depression I didn't check your videos. After taking Vitamin D and B groups, I realized that I eat less chocolates and sweets.
I take vitamin D before I go to bed along with my magnesium and Zinc and it has helped my sleeping through the night tremendously. I now can sleep 8 to 9 hours almost every night. Thanks Dr. Berg!
I literally did that yesterday as I forgot in the morning... This morning I found it hard to wake up and was stunned that I had slept 6hrs straight (2hrs max normal) Then this video pops up just to confirm... you are amazing 😇😚😇 Thank you for what you do. Cyber hugs from big fan South England. 😚😚😎
I can get to sleep but once I get up to go to the bathroom ( every night ugh) I can't get back to sleep. sometimes it takes hours to get back to sleep. thank goodness I'm retired and have no place to be in the mornings so I can sleep in if necessary. I'm tired of being tired I can tell you that
Try breathing in 4 sec holding / breathing out slowly 6 sec rule 10 times also try imagining yourself doing something calming don’t focus on an object just yourself surrounded by light if you start to think of something else it’s ok just go back to your breathing and being present in your body
You might consume quite large amount of sugar/carb. Speaking based on my own experience, when I do intermittent fasting + lower my sugar intake I can sleep the whole night without having to go to the bathroom. When I had high sugar intake I had to go once/twice every night
I used to have that problem but since about a yr ago started taking vitD right before bed and usually sleep a solid 6 hrs. If i do wake up for what ever reason i just go back to sleep again. Magnesium helps too.
Amazing. I took vitamin D an hour before bedtime and have fallen asleep and stayed asleep for the first time in years. I checked what studies were done and found the VA did a study on 50,000 vets. So far, that's the only study I have found. But... works for me.
Dr. Berg, I have been on Keto/IF for 6 weeks. So far I have lost 18 pounds fat, mostly around tummy area. I am 61 years old woman lived on rice all my life. I woke up in the morning to eat and until 10 at night. I ate every two hours. I thought since the menopause, I was packing fat around my midsection and dealt with aches and pain constantly. Until I started your free program. I don`t have constant throbbing on my hands and wrists, no bloating, burping, acid reflux, I'm off ibuprofen, Tylenol, which I used to take every day. I also noticed swollen lymph nodes almost disappearing, I used to leak urine when I cough, sneeze, run, or even to the point of every time I took steps, that is getting so much better. I a learning so much from your programs. I am very thankful for all the helth benefits I am gaining. And they are free and easy. I thought I just had to accept that I was getting old and had to live with those conditions. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!!
That's amazing! Congratulations! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story Dr. Berg's Support Team.
@@amim.6443 Aloha Lucy, Sorry I can’t answer that for sure but I take Zinc, Selenium & Electrolytes together before exercising. Vitamin D3, K2, and Omega 3 with lunch or dinner. It works for me! Vitamin D3, 25-Hydroxy levels went from 34 to 72 in few months period time. Also, I feel energized with Zinc, Selenium, and Electrolytes combo.
Vitamin D is LIFE! my combo: zinc selenium + electrolytes b4 gym in the morning FASTING then bulletproof Coffee to break fast after gym then D3 K2 omega 3 magnesium after dinner
Thank you I've have chronic PTSD stress and severe anxiety and little sleep for 35 yrs on disability...I tried this combination and have found some improvement, getting the odd 4-5 yr sleep uninterrupted some nights is a major improvement, thank you, ps I never take anti depressants and refuse medications
Thank you Dr. Berg! My sleep has improved & my sleep cycle is fixed! My levels are at 24.0 from 13.0. I'm working on getting them up. I take 2,000 1x day. They put me on 50,0000 but it broke me out in a rash & itching. Now, I'm trying to decide if I want to start a prenatal vitamin, or a B-Complex. How I wish I could send you my blood work results. Background: I fell in a Jack Daniel's bottle when my Mom passed (2017). I almost killed myself. 🙄 But I'm off the boose & doing better. I was wondering why I had high blood pressure. 🙄 They have me on 25mg Water pill, but it gives me palputations. Potassium low 3.8, B-12 could be higher 403. Magnesium 2.0 Sodium 138 Chloride 100 came down from 106 Creatinine 1.00 from 1.02 This is too long. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Take care! 🙌🏿 47 B, F perimenopausal I want off these water pills. I think I just need to get this vitamin D up. Can't wait for summer! *I take 2-13Bil probiotics when I feel I need them (before menses) Evening Primrose Oil too. Oil of oregano drops under tongue when needed.
Vitamin D supplements at doses of ~ 5000IU or 125 mcg (microgram) might interfere with melatonin production. Vitamin D is synthesized by body with exposure to sunlight (daytime) - often with the noon time ☀️ - maximal UVB availability. Many recommend supplementation Vitamin D be take with fatty meal in daytime eg at breakfast - as may be more physiological.
Just found out recently I'm low in D3 and my Folate is about now existent. Only reason I got checked was because of my arms feeling like lead from the fatigue. B12 & Magnesium were good but I had been supplementing those along with D3, have added more D3 and take them with my evening meal.
I tried this last night Dr. Berg and I slept like a baby in fact I woke up once at about 4 o'clock went to the bathroom and then went back to sleep and slept till nine so wow thank you so much for all your videos I just love you Karen and your whole family and I'm praying for you guys
Interesting. Previous videos mentioned taking it in the mornings BECAUSE of our sleep / wake rhythm in association with sunlight and natural vit. D absorption. Time for me to give this a try.
Thanks so much Dr. Berg for this review. I’ve been asking several people (not doctors) what time was best to take vitamin d. This is very helpful since I’ve been going through menopause and stress. I am not sleeping well at all and needed to get some help and info. Again 🙏🏽
Since D3 is up-regulated by sunlight it has been indicated as a waking signal not a sleeping signal and has been noted as a counter to melatonin. I'm confused.
I remember watching one of video from Dr. Alan Mandell. He said not to take vit D after 3 pm because it will interrupt the way the body produces melatonin meaning it will be hard to fall asleep at night . How come this video said the opposite? I am confused .
Yes this is super confusing considering the sun rises in the morning and if we had to get vit D from natural sources(sunlight) it would be morning time and not in the night time. Plus there is one video by him mentioning the times one should take all vitamins.. and there it mentions morning ... 😒🤔
I know this is not the right forum...but could you please teach us about "dynamics of sleeping in your right or left side" ? I realized I just cannot sleep in my left side. Ever. And in the last 3 years I also noticed that if I have a headache...toothache...ciatica...it is always in the left side of my body. My vision is worse on my left eye and I have floaters on my left eye...but it is when I try to sleep in my left side that I realize that something is wrong and it is not just a coincidence... It is like getting sick instantly... I am currently on a zero carb diet...taking vit D, Zinc and Vit C ...sometimes complex B so my health has been improving thanks to your videos!😍 I noticed I have less inflammation overall...but whenever I get some kind on inflammation symptoms...it is always somewhere on the left side of my body...
Your right side is better when you sleep most of your organs are on your left side so it takes the pressure off of them which helps for better breathing. At least that’s what I have read and heard.
Thank you! Oh, wow. I've been taking my vitamins in the morning, but morning is that period of time after midnight, before noon, when I am wide awake. I will try taking my vitamin D at night. I'm craving sleep, and unlike the lights, my brain seems to lack a shut off switch. This is such a blessing, to learn this stuff. Thank you!
He also talks about vitamin b5 and b1 here. Additionally, in other videos, he talks about electrolytes, especially enough potassium (4700mg a day). And about k2 with d3.
Another You-Tube doctor weighed in on this same subject and said studies indicate that taking V-D supplements show a reduction in melatonin production so he recommends taking it in the morning. I've found that if I eat a hand full of ground walnuts before bed the magnesium makes me very drowsy.
Is this why, when we go to the beach, spend some time under the sun in the morning, even if we do not exercise, we tend to want to have a nap in the afternoon or go to bed earlier?
LAX, San Diego, Phoenix .. are the farthest south that I have lived, but never dropped down to Mexico ... then again Hawaii is farther south, but vastly diff ecosystem ... hmmm. sleeps were heavenly in Hawaii. this could equate to why countries near the equator have siestas, but the crazy heat probably doesn’t give anyone a chance to do anything else BUT sleep during the hottest part of the day. we have been promoting sleep whenever, however it works for you since 1946, so embrace when your body is sleepy. take advantage of it. and .. just forget about the clock on the wall. the moon actually regulates more of our rhythms than the sun does, for it is a very regular - gravitational entity. vs the sun. the sun changes every day (ratio length of bright vs dark) during the year. the moon does not. it controls the tides. and mensuration cycles. affects the moods. accidents rise during full moons. but no one pays it much attention, except all the ancient cultures mapped the moon cycles, and made calendars on it. def pay attention to the black moon (best time for extra fasting BTW), we have done many studies on this the past bunch of years. and the full moon. throughout the year .. and you will have much better sleeps. just started to explore some D3 supplements, but very little if anything have I noticed .. curious that I started to double the dosage + started to take them with organic cream the other day. maybe now I will see some benefit. since the spring, I have been walking in the forest daily, as the dappled light is better for me. I burn easily. very fair skin. freckles. the extra oxygen, light, has definitely done me a world of good, in almost every metric I can look @. nature also seeks to exist better on the edges anything left in the wide open. gets pummelled with UV light, and it often looks unhealthy. maybe that is just the three bears story tho. everything needs to ‘ be just right ‘. all the proportions need to match for optimal efficiencies, but the linkage to fat soluble vitamins is very sound .. and a key thing almost everyone you know is lacking.
I've taken about a week off from doing my usual outside training/exercises I do, because of the very hot weather we are facing here. But the last day I trained outside before the forced break was 39 degrees celsius 102 fahrenheit. I did feel extremely sleepy afterwards, but I think that was me getting a good dose of the heat rather than the vitD as I had a running cap on and long sleeves against sun burn.
@@DeviatingVapors True. My heritage takes the moon as the source of calenders. Due to this some unknowing people think we even worship the moon, which cant be further from the truth. However with the spread of Roman Civilization codes and beliefs the sun calender was adopted by the masses, whereas moon calender is still used in matters of ancient beliefs.
@@DeviatingVapors I think you underestimate the power of bodily regulation via vitamin D as it relates to the Sun. The sun was originally our main source of vitamin D. It produces 25 different types of vitamin D in the body where is we only supplement with one. Vitamin D affects how nearly 75 percent of our genes Express in the body. Ideal gene expression has so much to do with long-term health. If you have very light skin and burn easily, you very quickly get enough vitamin D from daily sun exposure. If you're getting enough and you're young, you likely won't feel anything from supplementation. Because of the relationship to Sunshine and vitamin D, I stand strongly in saying that the sun affects far more in our health in reality than the moon. I know the moon's power because I used to cry and have a mental breakdown on half of the full moons in the winter. There is an effect. However, after I started taking vitamin D consistently in the winter, I am no longer plagued with mental breakdowns at Full Moon time in the winter.
Dr Berg, I have benefited tremendously from your video and so has my entire family. I have lost 20 pounds in about 3 months, which is a very big deal for me as I have been struggling for years. Your nutrition videos and the one for back pain and care , I shared with all of my friends and family. I appreciate all of the insights you share and trust your opinion and advice.Thank you so very much.
I love your channel !!❣️😊. I am learning a ton, At my age I realize I have to become involved in the management of my health and well being ,…… nobody else will do it for me. Prevention is the best medicine ,,, and your videos are great help in this endeavor …!! Thank you Dr.Berg Keep the videos coming. 👍🌸
@@nigelnazeemjohannes85 That’s true Nigel I’m teaching her small bits about sugar and carbs she’s been saying to her mam is this healthy 😂 if I ask what’s the best vitamin D she says the Sunshine ☀️ or the smelly oil 😂 or Dr berg d and k … start them young it never leaves them 🙏 I say what number D she’s says 3 I say what number K she’s says 2 awh she melts my heart 💜
I am so glad I found you and started to pay attention and follow your advice. Getting healthy first to release weight has been my experience with your methods. I've lost those stubborn pounds and feeling great. It was almost effortless! Thank you! 🌟💠
I definitely will try that today. I’ve been taking vitamin D for the last six years, it did help with the Covid and thank you very much for all your great information. I look forward to listening to almost every day. And I will let you know how it helps my sleep.!
I started your Apple cider vinegar, lemon, real cranberry juice drink before each meal and it has significantly helped with the beginning stages of acid reflux. Doc had said to take 80 mg of an antiacid , but that didn't help my incessant cough. I notice I feel even better if I stay away from grainy carbs. Veggies let me feel very clear and I feel lighter with them. I appreciate your videos and wish you the best of everything!
Thank you for mentioning b1. The Dr. told me it's only for alcoholics. My granny put me on it as a child because I was a worrier. As an adult I didn't take it until now due to stress.
Dear Dr Berg, I tried taking Vit. D before I got to bed last night and unfortunately, I could not sleep at all. Therefore, I will keep taking it wish my main dish during the day. Anyhow, thank you very much for your very benefical input on this channel.
One somewhat "intuitive" argument against taking vitamin D before bed is that natural vitamin D is made from sun exposure. Sun exposure is not a bedtime thing. It's a daytime thing, thereby inferring the more logical time to take vitamin D is earlier in the day.
Yes but some people benefit from taking vitamin D in the evening. Some people in this case have commented about that. Vitamin D absorption is also a question of digestion, stress levels, cholesterol amounts, ect. It's not only absorbed through the skin.
Hi Dr. Berg, after watching your videos, started health keto 2 weeks ago. And I really feel much more energy! I dont struggle anymore as I used to... Also, have been taking 20ui vit D3 just before bed and I am sleeping sooo much better and wake up feeling happy (very unusual!) I just couldnt fix yet the pains I feel around my hip due an old injury in my cartilage... hope to fix naturally at some point 🙏 Thank you so much!! ✨✨
I've been vitamin d deficient for years now and my sleep has always been an issue. I wasn't searching for this and I'm not a subscriber, but it's scary how this showed up in my feed today! I'll take your advice and tell you how it goes.
Thank you so very much Dr Eric for all your information via your videos! I am a really big fan and have learned a great deal from your videos. Thank you again, so very much!
Hi Dr. I started listening to you since last year, your contents have been a blessing to me. My cholesterol level is decreasing slowly and my sleep has improved a lot. Thanks so much for empowering us

Doc, the only people not benefiting from your content is the people who have not found it. Thank you so much for empowering our lives. Blessings to you and yours
The only ones who benefit are those who can't stick on a horrible Keto diet. Yes it is but not to his followers of course. I try to cut carbs as much as I can but some of US have taste buds that dislike to a great degree many of the best FOODs. Walk a mile in my mouth. Good advice from Dr Berg who is the best on here but just sayin I sort of hate coming on here for good advice and thinking I can't like his foods and feeling bad that I don't eat well. I do take lots of supplements including Vit D to try to make up for a lousy diet. In fact I take more supplements than foods to those people who wonder into my vitamin stock and refrigerator loaded with every supplement know to many . Don't worry I take most of it not every day.
Also if god was less malevolent he would have made my taste buds better suited for the Keto. I wish Berg would talk about the often malevolent god of the good books who just has a stranglehold
@Oppothumbs M also it is Quite expensive. I am the cook for our family and doing the fasting for 5 days in a row is so Very Hard. I am a stay at home wife/mother.
@@oppothumbs1 I understand maybe you have taste buds that “don’t like” certain foods but personally I feel like it’s completely possible to train your taste buds to enjoy the most nutritious foods that many “dislike” - personally I believe it takes consistency to train your palate as well as patience (especially when trying to inculcate a new food we may “dislike” or simply haven’t gotten used to) - wish you nothing but health and wellness 👍
Very much agree,I’m new viewer but I watch all videos closely n try to adopt all
@@oppothumbs1 You do know that picky eating is a habitual thing right? It is totally possible to learn to like food/tastes you previously despised. You need to train yourself to like it, but unfortunately some just give up and stick with the tastes they are already comfortable with. Look it up, hope it helps.
I’ve been taking the D3 and k2 vitamin before bed and I sleep through the night but the best part for me is waking up feeling happy and ready for the day.

Do u take it before or after a meal too
Do you mean with empty stomach?

Before bed can be after dinner.
Never take it on an empty stomach! Your stomach will not be empty cpl hours after you eat

I had very low vitamin D from undiagnosed celiac disease about 5 years ago. I became extremely depressed, sick, I had sores all over my head. I couldn't get up. When I took the 1st vitamin D supplement the sky got brighter and color came back to my vision and I began to come alive. I cried tears of joy the day I took it. Then I changed my diet and really got better. I give vitamin D to my teenagers to avoid depression.
That's great to hear, Wendi!
Ive had bad anxiety/ panic disorder for 20 years. Just adding liquid vitamin D and literally nothing else has made a huge difference.
It had an effect on the very first day you took your first dose??
Same thing happened to me. It was like my soul came back to my body, I've been depressed for YEARSSSSSSSSSS. After taking vitamin D, LOL depression gone, hilarious.
@@anweshakar146yeah for me it was the very first dose it was like I came back to life hahaha
Hi Doc,
I had a sleeping problem for years (almost 6+ years) & I also had the problem of overthinking when I am in bed. Recently, I started taking Vit-D + 1 tab of Nutritional Yeast before going to bed & it worked like a miracle for me. Now, I am sleeping much better without waking up in the middle of the night & I feel fully energized in the morning.
Thank you so much for changing my life!!
nutritional yeast stops intermittent fasting.
Hi Sahil, how long did it take to for vit D to show results ? please share
@@karannain5901 I have been taking Vit-D for a long time but I used to take only 1000 IU (1 cap) in the morning, but now I take 2-3000 IU in the morning & 2000 IU before going to bed. I started this new routine about 3 weeks ago & I am already seeing a huge difference.
I took D with dinner and and had pretty bad insomnia. I found out that D is a SUNSHINE vitamin. Coworker told me it gave her energy she said she took hers in the morning. I started doing that and immediately I was able to fall asleep at night. I always take D with breakfast.
I can't sleep at all if I take vitamin D before bed. I have to take it early otherwise I'm staying awake for 2 more hours.
Hello Dr. Berg!!! My wife and I have been taking your d3/k2 supplement for one month now, 40,000 iu’s per day. One of the key benefits we saw within 4 days was a much deeper sleep. It’s was astonishing to both of us. Sleep scores went from mid to high 70’s up to solid mid to high 80’s!!! Our energy levels have improved, mood has been much better, hip and back pain has become almost none existent and our skin feels silky smooth now!!! First thing I do every morning is run my fingers together and it just boggles the mind. I suppose we were both very deficient in Vit D and I’ve been telling all my family and friend about your videos and products!! Thank you for sharing you vast knowledge with us. My favorite quote of all time- “You can only take with you that in which you’ve given away”!! It’s a Wonderful Life….and you are a very wealthy man here on earth and beyond! 🙋♂️🙏. Thank you again!
Do you take all 40K IU’s at one time and is it morning or evening? I purchased this supplement, and I am trying to figure out the dose. It says take 1 or 4 capsules per day, but not more than 3 at bedtime. I’m confused.
Too much units of vitamin D.. Creates unnecessary kidney related issues.. For men recommended daily Dosage of vitamin D is 400 units.. If you take access your kidneys get damage someday not now
40000 ius a day sounds like lot imo. I'm no md, but my mds recommended 20000 IU once a week to build it up when you're deficient. I personally have experience taking 20000 IUs every other day, but I stopped when I reached a sufficient level. take care guys~
@@real_Gi research shows that one would have to take 60,000 IU over the course of years to have any toxic effect on your body. Even then, the body only absorbs about 40% - 60% of the vitamins we consume. Dr. Berg also stated that it would take about 100,000 IUs over a long period of time (years) to have any toxic affect so I'm sure it's fine.
@@francisibitoye9317 ok got ya. With my dosage of 20000 IU every other day, it took like 3 months until I reached a really good level. i got regular blood tests back then. During that time I checked in with my mom and she told me that she had a kidney stone removed because she had been taking vitamine d daily a few years back. I don't know her dosage back then, but that made me a bit cautious regarding taking it without making any bloodtests. i dont wanna make ppl worry unnecessarily, but a test after some months is probably not a bad idea. much love~
Appreciate your remarks about the time of day to take Vitamin D, and with fat. Many of us might find it helpful if you did a video on when to take various vitamins and supplements throughout the day and which ones to avoid taking together, etc. I know I would. Best wishes.
I agree! Good suggestion.
Me too. I get a bit confused about this.
Yes I often wonder if i am taking my suppliments at the optimum time 🤔
I think he has done one...and maybe it was since your comment. I think even better is if he explained how and why supplements do or don't take you out of ketosis or autophagy.
my doctor has prescribed me with 60k vit d3 once a week. then how to take k2 along with it. should I take 6 capsules of 100mcg at once or 1caps of 100mcg daily?
I’m sharing my success story as requested. Healthy Keto has changed so much for me! I watched your videos for about three months and took a giant leap of faith eight months ago. In that time the following things have happened: I went from flirting with pre-diabetes to normal levels of blood sugar; my cholesterol decreased to a normal range; my energy increased; my mood brightened; my sleep has begun to improve; I’m pooping more regularly; and I’ve lost 10 lbs. I need to lose at least 10 more and know that will happen now that I’m healthier. I’m thrilled and grateful!
I’ve started taking my vitamins…multi, B complex and D3 about an hour before bed. I’m usually asleep within a few minutes of going to bed. I’ve learned so much about different health issues by subscribing to your channel. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
You sleep within few minutes of taking vitamin d?
@@redgelag8197 I do. I realized it was making me sleepy when I took it, so started taking it before bed. Along with K2 and magnesium.
I take vitamin D3 with 3 whole eggs.
It gives me more energy during work out.
Jeez, if everyone ate three eggs the cost of eggs would go up. Perhaps I would be a chicken farmer.
@@ellenpaul678 Eating a 4 egg omelet with crumbled bacon, sausage, and cheese right now watching Dr. Berg :-) Yum..
@@irish1728 the only other person who eats like that is Michael Phelps.
A few more and I will be looking for chicks 🐥🐥 to start me off.
@@ellenpaul678 … Dr Berg himself eats 4-5 eggs a day. Good source of many nutrients!
@@ingfig1 Dr Berg tells a story about a misunderstanding where some authorities thought he said "45" instead of "4 to 5" eggs.
I eat two tablespoons of non-fortified nutritional yeast (for the B vitamins), and take vitamin D3 with 2 tablespoons of olive oil right before bed, and I am on a long streak of sleeping well like a baby. Before that I hadn't slept well in years (since having kids). Thanks Dr Berg!
I wanted to have yeast to but as i have gut n candida issue... I think its not suitable for this..... Anyone knows that should it be taken with these issues like gut n SIBO issues?????
Nutritional yeast can sometimes be tricky----the high Vit B-6 can sometimes cause dreams to be too vivid and interfere with sleep. 2T must be just right for you to sleep well. The 28 g fat is probably also helping to keep your hunger at bay if you are doing intermittent fasting...thus promoting sleep. I would find it very unpalatable to swallow 2 T oil esp right before bed. I take my Vit D3 in the middle of the day with a can of bone-in sardines (in olive oil) and about 2T nutritional yeast sprinkled in lukewarm tea or on various foods throughout the day.
@@jihashahid4116 for your circumstances get yourself tested via Gogiman on YT. He has fixes lots of people. Nutritional Yeast Island inactive form of years so won't make candida worse
I've been taking it for two years and noticed a big difference in my quality of sleep.
Do you take it before bed and how much do y take
How much do you take
I’m getting so much from your videos. My daughter and I are new keto people and are thriving on it. Thank you for making the transition easier by helping us to understand the whole concept. You explain things so well. We are both feeling much more alert and full of energy.
This is true, I noticed that when I started taking v D I slept earlier and better .. I just fell asleep 😴
Yes, all that talking wears you out. :)
Going to do this. Usually took when I wake up and eat.
SAME WITH ME 😂
Yes

Dear Doctor Berg, I watch your videos a lot. I have lost 46 lbs in 6 months and I'm not on HBP meds anymore. Low carb, ACV, MCT, keto, no bread, no wheat, no sugar. Only whole foods and I do I.F. for 18 hours/day and OMAD about 3 times a week. Thank you thank you thank you. God bless you. Oh....and my arthritis is nearly gone. My pain is down about 80%.
amazing! 🙏🏻💪🏻
When I take it before sleep it increases my energy so much , so I take it on morning and no problem.
Interesting. Thank you so much for sharing.
@@rawwoodgifts8117 your are welcome
Yes I heard that morning is when you should take D since it is the sunshine vitamin. This makes sense.
I have trouble sleeping due to autoimmune disease. For the past four nights I took vit D before bed. It really worked! Instead of waking up in the middle of night and staying awake for hours, I can sleep through. Hallelujah.
How much did you take?
I take about half a dropper of liquid, sometimes a bit more. I'm not too specific about it
Hi Dr. Berg, I found your videos while I was recovering from pacemaker installation surgery in May 2021. I've been under stress from medical issues and started taking your vitamin D3 + K2 at night just before bed and it works great at helping me relax, turn my brain off, and get to sleep. Thank you!
Wow. Great! Thank you so much for sharing 💞
Thanks, I'll try that as well
I heard from someone that combination of D2+K2 can lead to brain stroke.. can someone plz confirm if that’s true?
Then why does it cause me insomnia. It just works for me during day
how are YOU doing/feeling after getting a pacemaker?
Starting following Dr Berg when searching fasting 1.5 years ago. I was 205, pain everywhere, depressed, couldn’t sleep, and felt like shit! I started keto like he said, then went to keto w/ intermittent fasting, then cut out diet sodas and all drinks other than water, tea, wine, etc. When I cheat I drink the Virgil keto drink and it’s perfect… anyway, thank you Dr Berg, for all your knowledge and information. You probably saved my life! 170 today, no pain, feel great! Sleep great, I’ve had one cold in 1.5 years. Look and feel like a different person. If I kick out of Keto, I get right back in w/ fasting for 36 hours and eating keto. Easy breezy! Now I eat all organic, grass fed, no shit!! Cost a little more and worth every penny
Here is my experience in keto: the best thing in keto and fast is that I don’t have to eat many times, because I really don’t like to spend time in eating…
I like the eating part. Just wish someone else would do the cooking.
@@sandragambrel9721 same
Bro can you help me out with keto? İ dont understand how to begin and what dishes to make
@@sandragambrel9721 exactly, when I cook it I feel like I don’t want to eat , also keto makes me not hungry all the time, I call it: freedom of food…
@@yfdz6959 okay, here’s the secret of Keto: you should eat just when you feel really hungry, not when you want to spend good time with eating, or anything else, and: when you keep like that you will never think about food all the time, but you must eat lot of fat, every morning I drink big cup of coffee with creamy milk, it’s can keep me away from hungry until 2 o’clock , then I eat my lunch: salad with meat and egg cooked by olive oil without bread or rice or potatoes or any other of carbs, and that’s all my food every day, just one meal every day, and it’s really like freedom of eating all the time..
I tried this, as I’ve had progressively more problems with sleep. Taking vitamin D3 before bed causes insane insomnia for me. I don’t sleep the entire night. No exaggeration. I wish this nighttime strategy worked for me.
Are you taking magnesium as well? Because Vitamin D3 depletes your magnesium stores which can cause insomnia and anxiety.
Dr. Berg, you and a handful of other Dr.’s are leading this charge of better diet for America. 272 days for me on zero/low carb diet. 50 years old and I’m the healthiest I’ve been in 20 years. Just ordered your D3/K2 drops.

Thank you so much for solving a problem I had while intermittent fasting. I always thought vitamins were energizers that would hamper sleep, and since I wasn't eating until after 6 PM, gave up taking vitamin D for fear that it would keep me awake!
Have lost more than 50 pounds and feel great and healthy my pain gone
Thank God and dr. Berg ❤️❤️❤️
I love your short and sweet videos. You have the right recipe for getting people to engage. Short, concise, and packed with great information. Thank you!
I have to tell you thank you, I have been doing IF for 2 weeks. I'm down 10 lb, I don't feel deprived of anything have not had any flu symptoms and have noticed a lot of improvement with my joints. A lot of this I think is due to taking large numbers of supplements. Everything from pro-resolving mediators, B complex, D3, K & E., your content is so on point. Thank you once again and I look forward to hearing that video on optic nerve problems. Maybe u could talk about Bartonella and vision loss.
I've been dealing with a chronic urticaria/eczema outbreak since my vaccine in May. For the past 4 weeks I've been paying attention to my vitamin and eating habits, trying to get more sleep...cut out alcohol and all added sugars. Seems to be helping some but it's such a slow process. I'll keep it up and report back. Thank you for your videos.
That’s caused from the heavy metals in the jab. I would talk to your doctor about doing a heavy metal detox.

On your video When to Take Vitamins, you suggested post menopausal should take D3 w/K2 and fat/food. Calcium at night. So, I do this and I've been sleeping better than I have in years. Plus, I doubled my D3 to 10,000IU because I have MS, so far, this has also helped.
Thank you Dr Berg, I wish I had a real life Dr that encouraged good nutrition and natural healing. I know Dr's get busy, one patient after another, but, they could write publications on it and encourage their patients to read them?!
Dr Berg you are an absolute diamond. My Vitamin D levels have been very low, so i was told when I purchased some capsules to take them in the morning. However recently I decided to try a new variety with olive oil already added, and took it in the evening. I had one of the DEEPEST nights sleep that I’ve had in AGES, and I was sure it was because of the capsule in the evening, so thank you very much for confirming. My sleep has been extremely poor for years, which has left me feeling constantly fatigued, so here’s hoping that things will now improve. 😊👍🏾
Mind sharing the brand that includes olive oil? Thanks!
@@TheDriftwoodlover Yeah sure, it’s Pharma Nord made in Denmark, but readily available here in the U.K.
Do you still take vitamin d before bed? How much do you take? I'm so confused because some people say vitamin d before bed causes poor sleep and insomnia. Others say it helps sleep. I wonder if it has to do with low magnesium. I heard that vitamin d supplementation can exacerbate low magnesium. But if someone has enough magnesium, vitamin d should theoretically help their sleep.
How can doctor Berg drop more hits then all these fitness gurus who be spending 10-20mins every video?? He takes 2-5mins on average for his videos and there’s no unnecessary information - only nuggets. This man is special!!
I am taking your complex of D3 & K2 (and other nice things in it) I am taking it right before the sleep and I have very nice and deep sleep, days if I missed it I am waiting up during the night.
Also I observed that it is much better absorption when I am drinking with apple cider vinegar with carbonated water! I love that complex
In one of your videos, you recommended waiting until 10 to 11 to go to bed for sleeping problems. I had tried everything else except melatonin because I just didn't want to have to take something. The 10:00 to 10:30 bedtime was what did it for me. Who would have thought it was something so simple? Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Wow. Super!
Hey, I saw a video of this but it was quite different. He said to go to bed ideally before 9:00pm or 10:30 at the latest.
Dr. Berg, thank you very much for all your content. My mother and I were privileged to see you when you were in practice in Arlington, VA. I have been diagnosed with an. autoimmune disorder and have been trying to improve my overall health using many of your suggestions, I also wholeheartedly recommend your videos to friends.
I’ve never had sleep problems until I took vitamin D before bed because I forgot to take it during the day. For me, taking vitamin D before bed had the opposite effect. It keeps me awake for hours.
What dosage of Vitamin D?
I’ve been taking 2000 IU before bed ,, and I’ve had issues sleeping. I wonder if has the opposite effect for me .. keeping me up

I work 3rd shift so sleep is very important timing. Before keto/low carb I had sleeping problems, usually getting around 6 hours or less of sleep. After doing keto/low carb + OMAD for some months, taking supplements, I noticed I've been sleeping more. I eat my meal before bed, but I'm also taking 50,000 IU D-3. I'm still trying to get past chronic fatigue but doing somewhat better when I wake up.
are you taking D3 with Vitamin K2 (MK7)
Everything you said was right I took vitamin D after dinner and I slept very well.

I can get to sleep but once I get up to go to the bathroom ( every night ugh) I can't get back to sleep. sometimes it takes hours to get back to sleep. thank goodness I'm retired and have no place to be in the mornings so I can sleep in if necessary. I'm tired of being tired I can tell you that
You may be low in Magnesium. Magnesium helps with sleep also.
Same with me, and I take magnesium and L-theanine as well. 😣
Try breathing in 4 sec holding / breathing out slowly 6 sec rule 10 times also try imagining yourself doing something calming don’t focus on an object just yourself surrounded by light if you start to think of something else it’s ok just go back to your breathing and being present in your body
You might consume quite large amount of sugar/carb. Speaking based on my own experience, when I do intermittent fasting + lower my sugar intake I can sleep the whole night without having to go to the bathroom. When I had high sugar intake I had to go once/twice every night
I used to have that problem but since about a yr ago started taking vitD right before bed and usually sleep a solid 6 hrs. If i do wake up for what ever reason i just go back to sleep again. Magnesium helps too.
Amazing. I took vitamin D an hour before bedtime and have fallen asleep and stayed asleep for the first time in years. I checked what studies were done and found the VA did a study on 50,000 vets. So far, that's the only study I have found. But... works for me.
Wow cool! Thank you so much for sharing!
I have been taking my vitamin D along with cod liver oil just before bed and I do believe it is working. Thank you.
Dr. Berg, I have been on Keto/IF for 6 weeks. So far I have lost 18 pounds fat, mostly around tummy area. I am 61 years old woman lived on rice all my life. I woke up in the morning to eat and until 10 at night. I ate every two hours. I thought since the menopause, I was packing fat around my midsection and dealt with aches and pain constantly. Until I started your free program. I don`t have constant throbbing on my hands and wrists, no bloating, burping, acid reflux, I'm off ibuprofen, Tylenol, which I used to take every day. I also noticed swollen lymph nodes almost disappearing, I used to leak urine when I cough, sneeze, run, or even to the point of every time I took steps, that is getting so much better. I a learning so much from your programs. I am very thankful for all the helth benefits I am gaining. And they are free and easy. I thought I just had to accept that I was getting old and had to live with those conditions. Thank you so much and keep up the good work!!

Thank you I've have chronic PTSD stress and severe anxiety and little sleep for 35 yrs on disability...I tried this combination and have found some improvement, getting the odd 4-5 yr sleep uninterrupted some nights is a major improvement, thank you, ps I never take anti depressants and refuse medications
Thank you Dr. Berg! My sleep has improved & my sleep cycle is fixed! My levels are at 24.0 from 13.0. I'm working on getting them up. I take 2,000 1x day. They put me on 50,0000 but it broke me out in a rash & itching. Now, I'm trying to decide if I want to start a prenatal vitamin, or a B-Complex. How I wish I could send you my blood work results.
Background: I fell in a Jack Daniel's bottle when my Mom passed (2017). I almost killed myself. 🙄 But I'm off the boose & doing better.
I was wondering why I had high blood pressure. 🙄 They have me on 25mg Water pill, but it gives me palputations. Potassium low 3.8,
B-12 could be higher 403. Magnesium 2.0
Sodium 138
Chloride 100 came down from 106
Creatinine 1.00 from 1.02
This is too long. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Take care! 🙌🏿 47 B, F perimenopausal
I want off these water pills. I think I just need to get this vitamin D up. Can't wait for summer!
*I take 2-13Bil probiotics when I feel I need them (before menses)
Evening Primrose Oil too.
Oil of oregano drops under tongue when needed.
I just watched a video from dr Allan Mandell who said that the best time is in the morning, and now I'm confused
Vitamin D supplements at doses of ~ 5000IU or 125 mcg (microgram) might interfere with melatonin production.
Vitamin D is synthesized by body with exposure to sunlight (daytime) - often with the noon time ☀️ - maximal UVB availability.
Many recommend supplementation Vitamin D be take with fatty meal in daytime eg at breakfast - as may be more physiological.
Just found out recently I'm low in D3 and my Folate is about now existent. Only reason I got checked was because of my arms feeling like lead from the fatigue. B12 & Magnesium were good but I had been supplementing those along with D3, have added more D3 and take them with my evening meal.
Dear Dr,
Got a sleep problem;
Took vitamin D before bed
& Woke up several times at night.
I tried this last night Dr. Berg and I slept like a baby in fact I woke up once at about 4 o'clock went to the bathroom and then went back to sleep and slept till nine so wow thank you so much for all your videos I just love you Karen and your whole family and I'm praying for you guys
Interesting. Previous videos mentioned taking it in the mornings BECAUSE of our sleep / wake rhythm in association with sunlight and natural vit. D absorption. Time for me to give this a try.
And,...???Does it makes sence,? A little bit confused about this🤔
Ya, I can only take it in the morning. Keeps me awake at night.
@@AngelCali1111 exactly I always thought magnesium was for nite time..
Thanks so much Dr. Berg for this review. I’ve been asking several people (not doctors) what time was best to take vitamin d. This is very helpful since I’ve been going through menopause and stress. I am not sleeping well at all and needed to get some help and info. Again 🙏🏽
I take 2 magnesium glycinate an hour before bed and i sleep really well now (im 50) try Ashwaganda ksm66. I swear by it for anxiety/stress
Since D3 is up-regulated by sunlight it has been indicated as a waking signal not a sleeping signal and has been noted as a counter to melatonin. I'm confused.
I remember watching one of video from Dr. Alan Mandell. He said not to take vit D after 3 pm because it will interrupt the way the body produces melatonin meaning it will be hard to fall asleep at night . How come this video said the opposite? I am confused .
I’m pretty sure Dr Berg has a video where he said not to take Vitamin D at night as this would interfere with sleep.
I am very confused too
Yes this is super confusing considering the sun rises in the morning and if we had to get vit D from natural sources(sunlight) it would be morning time and not in the night time. Plus there is one video by him mentioning the times one should take all vitamins.. and there it mentions morning ... 😒🤔
I know this is not the right forum...but could you please teach us about "dynamics of sleeping in your right or left side" ? I realized I just cannot sleep in my left side. Ever. And in the last 3 years I also noticed that if I have a headache...toothache...ciatica...it is always in the left side of my body. My vision is worse on my left eye and I have floaters on my left eye...but it is when I try to sleep in my left side that I realize that something is wrong and it is not just a coincidence...
It is like getting sick instantly... I am currently on a zero carb diet...taking vit D, Zinc and Vit C ...sometimes complex B so my health has been improving thanks to your videos!😍 I noticed I have less inflammation overall...but whenever I get some kind on inflammation symptoms...it is always somewhere on the left side of my body...
Do you happen to have a metallic tooth filling on your left side?
In some cultures they teach you to sleep on your right side for better health.
Your right side is better when you sleep most of your organs are on your left side so it takes the pressure off of them which helps for better breathing. At least that’s what I have read and heard.
@@mexicola29 indeed I have. Only 1 in the mouth.
Your 3.5 lb liver is on your right side. Dr. Berg has a video about massaging just under your rib cage on the right side.
I combo Vit D with Omega 3 supps. Win win.
Me too!
Yes, me too..
Me too
Me too
I do the same.
Dr Berg, I take your D3 supplement in the morning. If I take D3 anytime after noon I’ll be awake all night. Thanks so much!
B1 and D3 improved my sleep dramatically. I don’t wake up multiple time per night.
I usually take vitamin d of a morning but I'm going to try it tonight I'll get back with you thanks Dr Berg
I take half in the morning and half in the evening.
Can you please let me know how it goes? Thanks

Thank you! Oh, wow. I've been taking my vitamins in the morning, but morning is that period of time after midnight, before noon, when I am wide awake. I will try taking my vitamin D at night. I'm craving sleep, and unlike the lights, my brain seems to lack a shut off switch. This is such a blessing, to learn this stuff. Thank you!
Hi, have you tried magnesium glycinate; it works really well for me; take a capsule about an hour before bedtime. 🙂
@@errolmagill1611.. Hi, where do you get your Mag. Glycinate?
@@ronbloomberg eBay UK, there are many seller's, look for elemental magnesium. 👍
He also talks about vitamin b5 and b1 here. Additionally, in other videos, he talks about electrolytes, especially enough potassium (4700mg a day). And about k2 with d3.

Hi Dr Berg,I am following you for years trust me I either I eliminated or prevented many diesease.. thank for sharing souch wonderful knowledge 🙏🙏
Another You-Tube doctor weighed in on this same subject and said studies indicate that taking V-D supplements show a reduction in melatonin production so he recommends taking it in the morning. I've found that if I eat a hand full of ground walnuts before bed the magnesium makes me very drowsy.
Is this why, when we go to the beach, spend some time under the sun in the morning, even if we do not exercise, we tend to want to have a nap in the afternoon or go to bed earlier?
Interesting.
LAX, San Diego, Phoenix .. are the farthest south that I have lived, but never dropped down to Mexico ... then again Hawaii is farther south, but vastly diff ecosystem ... hmmm.
sleeps were heavenly in Hawaii.
this could equate to why countries near the equator have siestas, but the crazy heat probably doesn’t give anyone a chance to do anything else BUT sleep during the hottest part of the day.
we have been promoting sleep whenever, however it works for you since 1946, so embrace when your body is sleepy. take advantage of it.
and .. just forget about the clock on the wall.
the moon actually regulates more of our rhythms than the sun does, for it is a very regular - gravitational entity. vs the sun. the sun changes every day (ratio length of bright vs dark) during the year. the moon does not.
it controls the tides.
and mensuration cycles.
affects the moods.
accidents rise during full moons.
but no one pays it much attention, except all the ancient cultures mapped the moon cycles, and made calendars on it.
def pay attention to the black moon (best time for extra fasting BTW), we have done many studies on this the past bunch of years. and the full moon.
throughout the year ..
and you will have much better sleeps.
just started to explore some D3 supplements, but very little if anything have I noticed .. curious that I started to double the dosage + started to take them with organic cream the other day.
maybe now I will see some benefit.
since the spring, I have been walking in the forest daily, as the dappled light is better for me. I burn easily. very fair skin. freckles. the extra oxygen, light, has definitely done me a world of good, in almost every metric I can look @.
nature also seeks to exist better on the edges
anything left in the wide open. gets pummelled with UV light, and it often looks unhealthy.
maybe that is just the three bears story tho.
everything needs to ‘ be just right ‘.
all the proportions need to match for optimal efficiencies, but the linkage to fat soluble vitamins is very sound .. and a key thing almost everyone you know is lacking.
I've taken about a week off from doing my usual outside training/exercises I do, because of the very hot weather we are facing here. But the last day I trained outside before the forced break was 39 degrees celsius 102 fahrenheit. I did feel extremely sleepy afterwards, but I think that was me getting a good dose of the heat rather than the vitD as I had a running cap on and long sleeves against sun burn.
@@DeviatingVapors True. My heritage takes the moon as the source of calenders. Due to this some unknowing people think we even worship the moon, which cant be further from the truth. However with the spread of Roman Civilization codes and beliefs the sun calender was adopted by the masses, whereas moon calender is still used in matters of ancient beliefs.
@@DeviatingVapors I think you underestimate the power of bodily regulation via vitamin D as it relates to the Sun. The sun was originally our main source of vitamin D. It produces 25 different types of vitamin D in the body where is we only supplement with one. Vitamin D affects how nearly 75 percent of our genes Express in the body. Ideal gene expression has so much to do with long-term health. If you have very light skin and burn easily, you very quickly get enough vitamin D from daily sun exposure. If you're getting enough and you're young, you likely won't feel anything from supplementation.
Because of the relationship to Sunshine and vitamin D, I stand strongly in saying that the sun affects far more in our health in reality than the moon. I know the moon's power because I used to cry and have a mental breakdown on half of the full moons in the winter. There is an effect. However, after I started taking vitamin D consistently in the winter, I am no longer plagued with mental breakdowns at Full Moon time in the winter.
Dr Berg, I have benefited tremendously from your video and so has my entire family. I have lost 20 pounds in about 3 months, which is a very big deal for me as I have been struggling for years.

We are learning everyday! Didnt know that Vit D can be taken before bed to aid sleeping. Thanks Dr Berg.
I started your Apple cider vinegar, lemon, real cranberry juice drink before each meal and it has significantly helped with the beginning stages of acid reflux. Doc had said to take 80 mg of an antiacid , but that didn't help my incessant cough. I notice I feel even better if I stay away from grainy carbs. Veggies let me feel very clear and I feel lighter with them. I appreciate your videos and wish you the best of everything!
Thank you for mentioning b1. The Dr. told me it's only for alcoholics. My granny put me on it as a child because I was a worrier. As an adult I didn't take it until now due to stress.
I use b1 as benfotiamine daily. It helped me a lot with a very damaged nervous system.
How much do you take? Does it help sleep? Should I take it before bed
Thank you for telling me when to take it and to take it with fat. I also take 1/2 of magnesium when I can't sleep. Really helps.
How much magnesium?? With what else?
What type of magnesium
Thx
@@Ohkeh640 250mg u can take up to 2 ...mine come from gnc
I started taking D3 (5000 iu) before bedtime and was amazed at how much better I slept. More relaxed.
Dear Dr Berg, I tried taking Vit. D before I got to bed last night and unfortunately, I could not sleep at all. Therefore, I will keep taking it wish my main dish during the day. Anyhow, thank you very much for your very benefical input on this channel.
When’s the best time to take zinc and magnesium?
One somewhat "intuitive" argument against taking vitamin D before bed is that natural vitamin D is made from sun exposure. Sun exposure is not a bedtime thing. It's a daytime thing, thereby inferring the more logical time to take vitamin D is earlier in the day.
Yes but some people benefit from taking vitamin D in the evening. Some people in this case have commented about that. Vitamin D absorption is also a question of digestion, stress levels, cholesterol amounts, ect. It's not only absorbed through the skin.
Your videos have changed my life. I am such better on many different levels!!!
Wow cool! Thank you so much for sharing!
Dr.Berg I can’t thank you enough for your videos …you are helping me a lot in my IBS …you are the best dr.berg …thanks a lot …God bless you .
