ALSO......Constipation! When the colon is impacted, fecal matter is actually poisoning the body! This triggers a sinus headache. The more impacted, the more severe the headache. I knew of a young mother who had suffered chronic constipation....usually caused by dairy foods.....who lay in a hospital bed for 14 DAYS with a headache medication couldn’t relieve. The doctors had given her up for dead and were calling in the family. When her grandmother arrived, she asked the nurses if she had had a bowel movement since she had been admitted. They searched her chart and found that she had NOT! Her grandmother immediately ordered laxatives be administered and went to work helping her clear her bowel. This mother of five is alive and well today because of the simple wisdom of an elderly woman with no letters behind her name who knew how the body worked!! Thank God!!!
Hi bettsyaffaqui3008. Im suffering also migraine with aura for morethan 20 years Im interested to know what is keto lifesfyle? I hope you will responce thank you in advance
Most pain meds will constipate you, essentially Morphine. Avoid artificial sweeteners like the plague, they are Excitotoxins (Dr Russell Blaylock (Neurosurgeon) also MSG….it’s in almost anything flavored. Read labels.
I m patient of migraine for lost 30 years...by the age passing the seviourty is going high n high..no pain don't work as fast as they were.please😢 suggest me... somthing
@@nancyeckhart7351 It’s all animal proteins, no veggies. Consider it extreme KETO, but far simpler with no need to worry about veggies fermenting in the gut and causing food sensitivities (from candida; SIBO).
I’m so glad that worked for you! Damn I might need to try carnivore diet, but for now I’m going to try meat+veggies+fruit and see how that goes. I had rice today and that made me super tired How often do you eat in a day? Also is it expensive supporting that diet?
Headache free since starting my Sugar ban. 2.5 years & counting. 👍 Thanks for sharing this important information with us all. Take care & Happy new year everybody. 🎉🥂❤🙂🐶
I have suffered with headaches, nearly every day of my life for 53 years. I'm so done. Thank you to every one for these comments. Doctor Berg your the best.
I received a message that I will meet you in a few days and talk to you about my success story. This is a great honor for me. I do not deserve it. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I used to get migranes and headaches weekly and took two pain killers (novalgin 500) every 2 or 3 days sometimes multiple times a day, upto 6 a day. After starting Keto and IF, I realised (amoung many other things) my chronic sinusitus got better and with it; migranes and headaches disappeared, I haven't taken a pain killer in months.

Damn I have a crossbite, and crowded teeth. As well as gallbladder problems but I definitely need to see ortho cause that could very well be my main problem. Where were your headaches mainly located? I deal with tension headaches
A root canal is then a dead tooth. & the body does NOT do well w dead things in it. Read “It’s All in Your Head” by Dr Hal Huggins. He got ran out of the country after he went on 60 Minutes & told the truth.
Great point!! Yes, a root canal or teeth infection CAN effect/create the headache. (or mercury/metal feelings..) The teeth are not far from the brain… Thank you for sharing.
I have the sparkly flashy migraines. I used to take ibuprofen as soon as I noticed the sparkles. And that would knock it out but not quickly. I started to have lemon water and that knocked it out within 10 minutes. I use the volcanic lemon juice and water. A few tablespoons of lemon juice in water. So far it's worked every time. I used to take ibuprofen a few times a week. I have only taken ibuprofen once in the past few months and that was for body aches from some excessive strenuous work I had done. My sparkly flashy migraines were usually triggered by exposure to excessive brightness.
A deviated nasal septum can also headaches. If the septum deviates or has a spur which impinges on a structure called the inferior turbinate, this can cause a headache which can be worse with allergies (which causes the turbinates to swell), colds, or anything which causes nasal congestion.
This is hot topic for me because ive had severe headaches for 60 years straight and have caused liver damage from decades of Excedrin, ibuprofin, pain killers. Not only did I have daily headaches but also a growing problem of really severe sharp pains on the left side of the head that used to last 1 second and then grew in length, frequency and severity. Not TIA, doctors had no idea but suggest brain surgery to explore the problem. I said no. THEN.....because of Berg's harping, in Aug 2019 i quit sugar 100%. Within a week, NO headache returned. None. Zero. I was quite astonished. Im allergic to sugar?? When the virus lockdown started, being so homebound, i started cheating as a coping mechanism. No heavy sugar, but a piece of bread here, a cookie there, a half a scoop of ice cream...... Within a week, headaches! Then I saw that a piece of bread per week, a handful of potatoe chips another week, two cookies another week, a forkful of spaghetti another week, no headaches, which meant I was staying under that bar if I cheated no more than one bad thing per week. If its 2-3 bad things, headaches come fast and there I am again on Excedrin or heavier. While everything on Berg's board may be valid, can fellow sufferers please first try ending sugar and report in a week or two? Lets test this amongst ourselves. Believe me, i feel your pain and want all of us painfree and especially medfree forever.
I have been sugar free since Jan 2nd and was feeling great. Stared I.F. on the 15th and was feeling great and then on March on Feb26th got a migraine, hormones. And now I have had a headache since...I have not been cheating at all....I'm so frustrated....inhate headaches!!!!
@@senorahahn5651 Im not sure how to respond since you are having the opposite experience. I can tell you this, when I quit sugar it was physically painful for a month. The body was changing and withdrawal isnt fun. After the month I felt the best in years. It could be that you are taking longer or you have anxiety or worry about it (?)
I have the same experience. One cheat in a week is okay, but more than that my headaches come back fast. That’s what I’m dealing with now. It seems that bar is very low for me. Also the first time I went keto, I had a low level migraine for 3 weeks. Then it was like there was a helmet around my head protecting me from headaches! It felt like my head was “solid” and not scattered. Like nothing could trigger the pain. Need to get back there. I had starting doubting my need to go so low carb but I guess I need it. I’m also worried about long term excedrine use as I had a CAT scan for something else and my liver was slightly enlarged but no other info.
@@stefanie7588 We're having the same experience. I never knew that sugar could account for so much. Its a year since my last comment and nothing has changed, Still lockdown, still some cheats and I need to return to no sugar very badly. Within a month of quitting my blood pressure returned to teen times. I too got withdrawal headaches but they ended and like you, i became bullet proof. No stress or anything could give me a headache. Only sugar. Imagine that.
Other reasons: Malocclusion (misalignment of the jaw) and Scoliosis (C1 - T7), even if mild, because the muscles and nerves (soft tissue isn't aligned) aren't firing in a symmetrical pattern.
Entire of my life always get headache with severe sinus pressure before it rains and nobody buys it include my family friends and doctors and now I have Dr.Berg to confirm it is because of barometric pressure changes.I have abused my body with all sorts of pain killers include prescripted ones without knowing where my pains coming from.My doctor didn't know either and his prescription did not work at all.Tremendous amount of respect Dr.Berg!
I will wake up with a headache after eating to much cheese, peanuts or potato chips. (Those are my triggers.) Water, coffee & salt in the morning usually take it away.
I used to get a headache about 3 times a week in my early 10's through my late 30's. Through the years, I've learned all the triggers that caused my headaches, I lessened it to about once a month. For example, In the summer, just going inside the car (even for 1 minute) when it's hot caused me a headache. Luckily remotely starting a car is now built-in with even a cheap car alarm. Just have the AC on when I start the car. I never figured out before that staying late at night on weekends caused me a headache. Anyway, avoiding all those triggers lessened my headache occurrence.
This can be because progesterone is low (it often dips the week-ish before a period) getting a progesterone cream from a hormone specialist can help, or eating foods that help promote progesterone production as well.
My doctor told me to eat Roquefort cheese, you nailed it,, I've had blinding headaches ever since I started eating this very expensive delicious blue cheese. Thank you and I truly must say I love you Dr Berg
Bonjour Dr Berg, thanks to IF and supplements like vit D, L glutamine, zinc etc all my migraines disappeared ! Also my articulation pains are diminishing. It has been a real torture for 50 years🥴😥 but now I finally can live a normal life. God Bless You. Merci infiniment et bonnes fêtes from France😘
I get migraines with aura. 100% of the time it triggers today is because I haven't eaten food for so many hours. When I was younger I also triggered migraines from eating sweets and fruit, so I stopped doing that, and by that I reduced my migraines from about 24 times a year to 0-2 times a year.. But fasting for me really doesn't work. This trigger is one of the most common triggers for migraine and I think you should have put it up there on the board. Especially since you are advocating ketos diet... About eating sweets, I have discussed this with others who also get migraines and quite a few of them have the same experience as me with sugar, many first think it is chocolate, then after a few years they realize it is probably the sugar in the chocolate that is the problem, not the chocolate itself. How come no one in ever speaks of this? Not even migraine foundations. When I tell doctors about this they get that look in their eyes like I'm just guessing. But I know it is a trigger, because if I eat sugar after not eaten for 5-6 hours, the risc of getting a migraine is well above 50%.
I love the way you say "whatever "Dr Berg you are hilarious. And yes I have a headache so it's wonderful to hear you speak. You give me courage thank you..
You probably have restricted blood to the brain . Brain hurts , signals for more o2 , bp rises . Unless you mean high BP all the time and also intermittent head head aches that likely coincide with a meal . If its the former, you get a head ache and your bp spikes . Id get a better doctor asap like asap. Otherwise diet fasting....... probably im not a doctor
Do we have any suggestion on weather change related headaches? I have it since I was 13. 🥺 I got it from my mom, she is suffering also. We tried EVERYTHING.😥
suffered 6 years from headaches. the reason was gallbladder. no doctor was able to tell me the cause, they just gave medicines or painkillers. i finally tried to track it down myself and it was a result of late night dinner or overeating. stopped those and all the headaches are gone. have stopped to eat anything for 3hrs before going to sleep. later i found this video and dr.berg describes 90% of the time gallbladder is the cause. i m surprised most doctors don't tell this to their patients.
Bless ya ... the timing of upload couldnt be perfect ... just got out of migraine yesterday ... had used voltfast to fix the problem. yes MsG had been the bigger culprit in the past, and avoid it as much as i can. yet some other factors are still there to trigger it ... thanks for the video !!
Yes, I have the same problem. My mother bought a new couch over a year ago and I still get a migraine from the formaldehyde when I'm in the house. I'm her caregiver so I'm there alot.
Exactly! Turn off Wi-Fi at night, take melatonin often and magnesium to help this. Stay away from earbuds as much as possible and phone time as well as holding up your phone near your head while on a call
my headaches were caused by leaky gut. I have to take glutamine every day to seal the gut to get rid of the headaches. If I stop the glutamine, the headaches come back.
Best summary I have seen and right to the point. I did experimented with all headaches sourced from those foods. Usually food triggers the head aches in 12 hours for me, as you said when the food reaches some parts of the digestive track. Chocolate (tyramines) can trigger a headache in 30 minutes.
I swear sleeping the wrong way gave me headaches. Im a side sleeper and when i slept on an overly thick pillow i woke up with horrible neck pain and this gave me headaches.
I started getting headache 2 yrs. ago. Maybe twice a year. Its always around holiday Christmas/Thanksgiving" where I don't get enough sleep. They're no joke...
I just discovered that lack of sleep as well as when I'm deep into ketosis, when my urine test shows super dark purple like almost black... I had headache on the right side of my brain... But after watching some Dr Berg's videos about reflect pain, I think I may have a gallbladder problem, just didn't notice other systems, thanks Dr Berg, I'll try to see if I have some other syptoms to see my if my gallbladder is damaged!
My daughter went low carb for a year and had only 2 migraines then. Now she’s so stressed and eating badly and has almost constant migraine. She’s thinking of trying LC again but there are so many temptations at her workplace. We are definitely carb addicted in this whole family😩
@Dubai toy world Hi! Here's a great video in relation to that. Hope it help. Use More Salt to Fix Migraines ---> ua-cam.com/video/ejcU_Iw-qdI/v-deo.html
Realized I get head aches from gallbladder. Feel good when I fast in the morning but soon as I consume coconut oil/cream spiked tea or coffee than I get headaches and don’t feel good. At least I know I got a problem to work on. Gotta heal that gallbladder
Certain parasites can cause headaches too. I would recommend just not eating meat or consuming dairy, because parasites love to feed on that kind of protein. So instead of feeding yourself, you're just feeding your parasites and this is why you still may feel hungry after eating.
Freezing on keto. Everything is great but when I'm outdoors I start to freeze really easy. If I eat carbs I dont freeze as easy. Any tip? Great videos Dr berg!
Great information 👍🏻 I suffered with migraines 3 or more times a week for a couple years. Doctors tried lots of different medications and tests they couldn’t figure it out. I decided to give up caffeine and I haven’t had one since. Unfortunately many doctors never look at what food and drinks you are consuming in order to help you.
@@Oneworld1984 I just stopped drinking caffeinated drinks, I mostly drink water. A healthy alternative if you need a boost of energy is cucumber juice.
Dr. Berg, first, I love the content you share with us. Thank you for everything! You are a godsend! What is your opinion of beef liver tablets? I was told I needed it but I’m not a fan of the flavor so I’m considering using the tablets instead. Thanks again!
Hi Dr Berg, Thanks for all the educational videos. I have food intolerance problems (histamine/tyramine). What I can't eat are canned products; all fermented foods; anything containing yeast, incl. B vitamins; spices such as cinnamon; cloves and mustard; tomato; eggplant; mushrooms; shellfish; anything acidic, such as lemon, lime, and yogurt. After eating these products my intestines are sensitive at first and after a few days headaches to migraines start, depending on the amount I have eaten. After that it takes at least 2 weeks that I am tired. Do you have any advice for me?
I do not like trying caffiene again today, and I want decafe at most. It was a while since I drank coffee. I also notice not eating grain fed or finished meat is changing my hunger completly. I can go without eating any amount of time after grass finished/fed, but not grain. Any amount of time is like not hungry or eating 3+ days until a neighbor offers a snack almost all month.
All I know is in nearly 3 years now since I taken or purchase a headache tablet for an actual headache, toothache yes but not a headache. They used to be frequent, I have cleaned the diet considerable since then, its not full keto at all but ramping up protein fats and vegetables has helped, I sleep better now, no twisted and turning for an hour to fall asleep, out within 5 minutes. Always have stress and am normal active so perhaps nutrients and diet are the biggest factor, it really was eat everything and anything before.
I have the strangest thing going on. After certain days when I eat, then somewhere around 45 mins later I start getting one of the absolute worst migraines. Then when I vomit no food comes up its just clear flem. Then the migrain goes away. At times this migrain will give me cold sweats and no migrain medicine works until I vomit. The Drs here tell me that the migrain causes me to throw up and its not me eating anyrhing thats causing the migrain. These migraines are taking over my life.
Sorry to hear that. Although we cannot advise on any diagnosis or treat any condition, here are some of Dr. Berg's videos that you may want to watch and research further: ua-cam.com/users/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=migraine Dr. Berg's Support Team.
really amazed from these informations. I always believed that msg is my only triggers just today I had severe migraine with no msg as I am currently in 2MAD and intermittent fasting 16:8. Just for curiosity I searched your channel and now learned that it could from the baked vege with parmesan cheese that could have triggered it. I am shocked as I was eating cheese and never experienced it before.
Taking out gluten and dairy and processed junk.... As my regular food sources did it for me. Still get them once in a while. But not nearly as much. Ugh. Awful. But cleani g up my food act UNDOUBTEDLY made an enormous difference
just had to go to urgent care and was put on an antibiotic for a large boil/bacteria infection the back of my head/neck at hairline, have also been having serious symptoms when laying down to sleep like exploding head syndrome and tremors of some sort, and more. WTH do you suggest?
I believe I've been getting barometric pressure headaches for years, but I can't find anything to do about it other than take acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Is there something more natural I can look into?

Dehydration is a big one for me, after intense exercise or sauna. It may also be a cause of a hangover, lol.
That's usually lack of salt or Potassium.

Just have the AC on when I start the car. I never figured out before that staying late at night on weekends caused me a headache. Anyway, avoiding all those triggers lessened my headache occurrence.
Migraine sufferer here 💁 you nailed the symptoms! I've nailed down some triggers, but of course there is some unknowns lol
When my time of the month arrives , I do get a bad headache .
@@ms.yulduz397 yes 👍 and it’s awful 😣
He gave a few solutions to PMS in this video around 2:50. Good luck.
This can be because progesterone is low (it often dips the week-ish before a period) getting a progesterone cream from a hormone specialist can help, or eating foods that help promote progesterone production as well.
Fragrances are the #1 cause for my headaches. MSG does it as well, that’s why I can’t eat out.
Lake of freedom, high pitch sounds, different lighting, flashing lights so pretty much everything. Lol
Love your work Dr.B thank you. ✌🏾😥🤙🏾💚's🌏
viva revolution!!
My doctor told me to eat Roquefort cheese, you nailed it,, I've had blinding headaches ever since I started eating this very expensive delicious blue cheese. Thank you and I truly must say I love you Dr Berg
Bonjour Dr Berg, thanks to IF and supplements like vit D, L glutamine, zinc etc all my migraines disappeared ! Also my articulation pains are diminishing. It has been a real torture for 50 years🥴😥 but now I finally can live a normal life. God Bless You. Merci infiniment et bonnes fêtes from France😘
Wow Doctor you said you may not know the hangover ask your friends. You didn't want to hurt people who is watching the vedio. So kind of you....👍👍👍
I get migraines with aura. 100% of the time it triggers today is because I haven't eaten food for so many hours. When I was younger I also triggered migraines from eating sweets and fruit, so I stopped doing that, and by that I reduced my migraines from about 24 times a year to 0-2 times a year.. But fasting for me really doesn't work. This trigger is one of the most common triggers for migraine and I think you should have put it up there on the board. Especially since you are advocating ketos diet...
About eating sweets, I have discussed this with others who also get migraines and quite a few of them have the same experience as me with sugar, many first think it is chocolate, then after a few years they realize it is probably the sugar in the chocolate that is the problem, not the chocolate itself. How come no one in ever speaks of this? Not even migraine foundations. When I tell doctors about this they get that look in their eyes like I'm just guessing. But I know it is a trigger, because if I eat sugar after not eaten for 5-6 hours, the risc of getting a migraine is well above 50%.
Omg I couldn't agree more
I love the way you say "whatever "Dr Berg you are hilarious. And yes I have a headache so it's wonderful to hear you speak. You give me courage thank you..
I found out that my migraine is mostly triggered by pinch nerve on my cervical spine. Chiropractor treatment helps a lot.
I’m wondering why you didn’t say high blood pressure can cause a headache?
You probably have restricted blood to the brain . Brain hurts , signals for more o2 , bp rises . Unless you mean high BP all the time and also intermittent head head aches that likely coincide with a meal . If its the former, you get a head ache and your bp spikes . Id get a better doctor asap like asap. Otherwise diet fasting....... probably im not a doctor
Do we have any suggestion on weather change related headaches? I have it since I was 13. 🥺 I got it from my mom, she is suffering also. We tried EVERYTHING.😥
suffered 6 years from headaches. the reason was gallbladder. no doctor was able to tell me the cause, they just gave medicines or painkillers.
i finally tried to track it down myself and it was a result of late night dinner or overeating. stopped those and all the headaches are gone.
have stopped to eat anything for 3hrs before going to sleep.
later i found this video and dr.berg describes 90% of the time gallbladder is the cause.
i m surprised most doctors don't tell this to their patients.
AF Betafood by Standard Process saved my Gallbladder 30 years ago, still have it! Most chiropractors carry SP.
I have noticed that if you don't drink enough water or eat very salty food I can get headache.
Bless ya ... the timing of upload couldnt be perfect ... just got out of migraine yesterday ... had used voltfast to fix the problem. yes MsG had been the bigger culprit in the past, and avoid it as much as i can. yet some other factors are still there to trigger it ... thanks for the video !!
Please do a video on how VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) can cause headaches, and problems in the body.
Hi! I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this subject.
Dr. Berg's Support Team
Yes, I have the same problem. My mother bought a new couch over a year ago and I still get a migraine from the formaldehyde when I'm in the house. I'm her caregiver so I'm there alot.
Also headeach could be related to radiation from strong wifi these days which in turn throws off PH of hypochlorite in the body, including the gut.
Exactly! Turn off Wi-Fi at night, take melatonin often and magnesium to help this. Stay away from earbuds as much as possible and phone time as well as holding up your phone near your head while on a call
@@noellealdi881 Great advise, dear mama 😉
taking raw garlic 🧄 (drink water directly after) is awesome help for most headaches 👍
my headaches were caused by leaky gut. I have to take glutamine every day to seal the gut to get rid of the headaches. If I stop the glutamine, the headaches come back.
Did your leaky gut resolve?
Simply the best doctor thank you !
Red 40, which is a very common food additive, causes my daughter severe headaches.
Best summary I have seen and right to the point. I did experimented with all headaches sourced from those foods.
Usually food triggers the head aches in 12 hours for me, as you said when the food reaches some parts of the digestive track.
Chocolate (tyramines) can trigger a headache in 30 minutes.
Wow, I have like Sharp pain like stabbing in my head 😳 thanks for sharing
I swear sleeping the wrong way gave me headaches. Im a side sleeper and when i slept on an overly thick pillow i woke up with horrible neck pain and this gave me headaches.
I started getting headache 2 yrs. ago. Maybe twice a year. Its always around holiday Christmas/Thanksgiving" where I don't get enough sleep. They're no joke...
I just discovered that lack of sleep as well as when I'm deep into ketosis, when my urine test shows super dark purple like almost black... I had headache on the right side of my brain... But after watching some Dr Berg's videos about reflect pain, I think I may have a gallbladder problem, just didn't notice other systems, thanks Dr Berg, I'll try to see if I have some other syptoms to see my if my gallbladder is damaged!
@Just Moi Thanks! ;D Im gonna dig into this!
My daughter went low carb for a year and had only 2 migraines then. Now she’s so stressed and eating badly and has almost constant migraine. She’s thinking of trying LC again but there are so many temptations at her workplace. We are definitely carb addicted in this whole family😩
On UA-cam there are ways you can replace junk food. Like there is carnivore bread that could replace regular bread.
Not eating for long period of time causes headache . Even acidity
Sounds like your Blood Sugar is dropping, eat protein.
For me it’s life in general. Most humans. Work ,health,stress ,lack of good sleep anymore. I’m sure there’s more
Awesome Dr Berg ✌️, thank you for sharing 🙏.
What about poor posture , neck problems??
If anyone has seasonal allergy get on Keto and IF it will go away. Happened to me after six decades my allergy is gone. Thank you Dr Berg.
Dr. Berg makes everything make sense. He’s the best
LOL! I love the dry humor he puts in his videos. The hangover statement had me cracking up 😂😂
I started Keto again ... it's been 5 days and I still get a dull headache every day with pain in my eye in the right corner of right eye.
Try carnivore plus drinking more water.
DR Berg please cover causes and treatment of cluster headaches 😩!
8. My wife 😂 J/k Love her 💛
😂😂
My ex husband. No kidding! What a relief to be free of him!!!
@@hollyhopalong7405 👍😂
2:00am here in N.Z Top Man I Doc. Grateful 👍🏾😊🤘🏾
You forgot dehydration and caffeine dependence. Oh and grinding your teeth at night. But great info!
The cause of my headache is my landlord!
Oh dear...
Please do a video on how to get rid of migraine.
@Dubai toy world Hi! Here's a great video in relation to that. Hope it help.
Use More Salt to Fix Migraines
---> ua-cam.com/video/ejcU_Iw-qdI/v-deo.html
I get throbbing headache if I don’t eat within 6-7 hours of waking up
When i started taking vitamin D supplement all headaches are gone for good.
Can confirm this to be true. 👍🏻 Colostrum does the same.
My husband never gets headaches. It’s like some people don’t have to deal with this at all
Realized I get head aches from gallbladder. Feel good when I fast in the morning but soon as I consume coconut oil/cream spiked tea or coffee than I get headaches and don’t feel good. At least I know I got a problem to work on. Gotta heal that gallbladder
AF Betafood by Standard Process saved my gallbladder over 30 years ago.
Certain parasites can cause headaches too. I would recommend just not eating meat or consuming dairy, because parasites love to feed on that kind of protein. So instead of feeding yourself, you're just feeding your parasites and this is why you still may feel hungry after eating.
Freezing on keto. Everything is great but when I'm outdoors I start to freeze really easy. If I eat carbs I dont freeze as easy. Any tip? Great videos Dr berg!
Another one is tight neck muscle's. Can give a nasty headache, speaking from experience.
Great information 👍🏻
I suffered with migraines 3 or more times a week for a couple years. Doctors tried lots of different medications and tests they couldn’t figure it out. I decided to give up caffeine and I haven’t had one since. Unfortunately many doctors never look at what food and drinks you are consuming in order to help you.
How did u give up caffeine
@@Oneworld1984
I just stopped drinking caffeinated drinks, I mostly drink water. A healthy alternative if you need a boost of energy is cucumber juice.
Thank you, I think caffeine could be a huge factor to my headaches
What about chronic clusters, vestibular migraines, and cervicogenic headaches?
As a chiropractor, can't a misaligned C1 or C2 cause headaches?
Oh boy I think you’re right, I get constant neck pain and headaches
So basically everything can cause a headache 😂
Yep..... especially breathing.😃
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. It seems.
Damn
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Basically, the story of my life 😢
Dr. Berg, first, I love the content you share with us. Thank you for everything! You are a godsend! What is your opinion of beef liver tablets? I was told I needed it but I’m not a fan of the flavor so I’m considering using the tablets instead. Thanks again!
Very glad to be of help.
Barometric pressure affects me the most specially as I becoming older.
Hey Dr.Berg, Please make a video on root causes of dandruff. Would be really helpful.
Hi there! I hope you find this video helpful:

Excessive carbs, sugar, yeast, and gut dysbiosis. Go carnivore. Animal protein is the solution.
@@Drberg thanks a lot doc
Hi Dr Berg,
Thanks for all the educational videos. I have food intolerance problems (histamine/tyramine). What I can't eat are canned products; all fermented foods; anything containing yeast, incl. B vitamins; spices such as cinnamon; cloves and mustard; tomato; eggplant; mushrooms; shellfish; anything acidic, such as lemon, lime, and yogurt.
After eating these products my intestines are sensitive at first and after a few days headaches to migraines start, depending on the amount I have eaten. After that it takes at least 2 weeks that I am tired.
Do you have any advice for me?
Good morning to good info
I do not like trying caffiene again today, and I want decafe at most. It was a while since I drank coffee. I also notice not eating grain fed or finished meat is changing my hunger completly. I can go without eating any amount of time after grass finished/fed, but not grain. Any amount of time is like not hungry or eating 3+ days until a neighbor offers a snack almost all month.
All I know is in nearly 3 years now since I taken or purchase a headache tablet for an actual headache, toothache yes but not a headache.
They used to be frequent, I have cleaned the diet considerable since then, its not full keto at all but ramping up protein fats and vegetables has helped, I sleep better now, no twisted and turning for an hour to fall asleep, out within 5 minutes.
Always have stress and am normal active so perhaps nutrients and diet are the biggest factor, it really was eat everything and anything before.
4 months after i went on carnivore diet i started to have headaches, 2 weeks later i found the solution: put much more sea salt in my food (and water)
I have the strangest thing going on. After certain days when I eat, then somewhere around 45 mins later I start getting one of the absolute worst migraines. Then when I vomit no food comes up its just clear flem. Then the migrain goes away. At times this migrain will give me cold sweats and no migrain medicine works until I vomit. The Drs here tell me that the migrain causes me to throw up and its not me eating anyrhing thats causing the migrain. These migraines are taking over my life.
Stop eating for a few days and your headaches will disappear on day four of your fast.
Sorry to hear that. Although we cannot advise on any diagnosis or treat any condition, here are some of Dr. Berg's videos that you may want to watch and research further: ua-cam.com/users/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=migraine

+ head traumas

really amazed from these informations. I always believed that msg is my only triggers just today I had severe migraine with no msg as I am currently in 2MAD and intermittent fasting 16:8. Just for curiosity I searched your channel and now learned that it could from the baked vege with parmesan cheese that could have triggered it. I am shocked as I was eating cheese and never experienced it before.
Dr berg thank you for having yhe solutions that make sense.
You're welcome. Glad you like the information here.
Do a video on too much gas?
I get headaches from being dehydrated, with low sodium and potassium
Dr Bergs Electrolyte Powder, has 1,000mg of Potassium 👍
Junk foods, and spices are my favorites for migranes
Thanks very much my dear friend
Thx. For this Doc!!! 💓
I can hear my vagus nerve before a migraine, my stomach gurgles then I hear a whoosh that travels up the back of my neck 🤪
Taking out gluten and dairy and processed junk.... As my regular food sources did it for me. Still get them once in a while. But not nearly as much. Ugh. Awful. But cleani g up my food act UNDOUBTEDLY made an enormous difference
Thank You!
You're most welcome!
I never get headaches ever. Cant remember the last time I had one. I wonder why.
just had to go to urgent care and was put on an antibiotic for a large boil/bacteria infection the back of my head/neck at hairline, have also been having serious symptoms when laying down to sleep like exploding head syndrome and tremors of some sort, and more. WTH do you suggest?
Sir it will be great and very helpful if you can do a video on migraine
B2
I believe I've been getting barometric pressure headaches for years, but I can't find anything to do about it other than take acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Is there something more natural I can look into?
Great video. i would love a similar one on Migraines.
Check out Vitamin B2.
After 7 months of strict clean Keto and IF, I now get headaches right after I eat tomatoes and balsamic Vinegar.
I also react to Balsamic vinegar.
