This Doctor needs to be cloned and put into EVERY medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about HEALTH. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way.. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos ... I respect this man immensely. 👍👍👍
The medical field seems to be more concerned with dispensing drugs than prevention and cures. In fact some of the drugs seems to have worst side effects that the illness.
After watching several of your videos I now understand why my 83 yr old dad is healthy 6:30-7:00 am Breakfast Scrambled eggs, toast and cottage cheese or oatmeal, banana or Honey Nut Cheerios w/ granola and sliced banana. Those are his 3 breakfast choices Noon -12:30 lunch Small sandwich, dinner leftovers or soup.. pretty light choices Dinner 5:30 Decent dinner He walks everyday for 30-45 minutes Not distance because he walks a bit slower these days. Does yard work for exercise. Plays with cats for joy I pray he lives to be 100 plus 🙏🏼
No matter how far I may stray from my diet, when I decide to get back into gear, I always find myself back here to Dr. Bergs videos. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Nothing is worse than going to bed early, only to wake up early and fresh but still, feel exhausted. Walking is an equipment - free activity and one of the best exercises for staying hale and hearty ❤. Thanks Dr for your insight and guidance.
3 boiled eggs, half an avocado, and a cup of black coffee for breakfast always gets the day started right. Energy that lasts for the majority of the day until a large protein packed supper. Also drink almost a gallon of water a day which helps.
My exact breakfast too but I recently switched out the coffee for matcha, a bit of cream and Brain octane oil and I found it worked far better to get my brain firing. Try it.
@@J.o.e_K occasionally when I’m a bit indecisive I throw in a shot of espresso in the Matcha ( dirty matcha). That a whole new world of whirl so it’s definitely occasionally. Sometimes you’ve just got to shake things up:)
@@J.o.e_K yeah I tend to find out these expressions rather innocently. I went to a small coffee shop and asked for a Matcha with an espresso shot and the lady said “ so you want it dirty?” Me in my sarcastic mood said “ well no, I’m not thrilled if you sweep up your floor and dump the contents in it actually though it may have some benefit for my microbiome.”She looked at me in horrors and explained that wasn’t what she meant. I realized the world is not very humorous and let it go but I filed the term for future use. Your way with green tea may be more subtle and sublime.
I just want to say thank you. I was a morning person my whole life until 2020 when I got covid(or whatever it is people were catching back then) or I could be wrong something else happened but my sleep had never been the same. I would wake up tired every single say. Working out helped but not much, I felt fatigue throughout the day. I have never been a foodie I don’t really like food I don’t eat that much and I cant eat a lot of things . So a couple of weeks ago I stumbled on this platform and IF caught my attention. I figured since I already have a complicated relationship with food, it wont be difficult for me to try. I also learnt about stevia here and since then have replaced sugar with that. In one week, one godamn week , i no-longer feel tired all day long, i wake early morning and I feel refreshed and thoroughly rested. My skin looks brighter the dark under eyes are going away. Just because I stopped biting this and that throughout the day. Intermittent fasting is the answer to a lot of health and bodily function issues.
Dr Berg, you saved my sight! I began taking vitamin A a couple days ago after one of your videos recommended it for something I have been struggling with for 20 years! For the first time in 20 years I woke up without my eyelids glued to my eye balls! and I didn't wake up every 4 hours to use eye drops. And after beginning TUDCA this week I had a normal bm for the fist time in most of my life of chronic constipation and having to use natural laxatives once a week. I am hopeful these positive signs will continue to improve, thank you so much ❤
Watching these videos every morning has really changed my relationship with my own body and food. I was guilty of putting my body through hell with the late-night meals, lack of exercise, and processed foods. However, videos like this, slowly changed my perspective into one that is healthier.
Last meal of the day 4pm, usually a plate of chicken drumsticks/thighs (big salad at noon). 2 magnesium capsules and a few CBD drops before bed. My brain wakes up automatically at 4:30am and I am full of energy and revving to go.
So true! When I was doing the keto diet, I would stop eating around 4/5pm, and I truly wasn't hungry until around 11/12 the next day. But once I got off, it's such a struggle to go back😬
People, please pay attention to everything in this video. He just explained several questions I had since I quit sugar and carbs 22 months ago. Unexpectedly he just explained some of the "side effects" that I have enjoyed since I did exactly what he has been saying on everything in this video. This video was amazing to me answering a lot of questions I had about why I feel my morning energy and lack of hunger.
As a recent widow, aged 81, and with a history raising my 11 children, I am learning from you how to feel great! (one of my sons follows you too!) NO MORE SUGAR!
What I saw in my case is that even though I tend to watch screens before bed, quality of my sleep improved TREMENDOUSLY when I made sure that my room is completely dark. So using blinds to cover windows against lights on street. I don't have to sleep long anymore to be refreshed, because my sleep got shorter, but much more efficient. What also helped is that I make sure that in my room temperature does not exceed 16 degrees C.
You now experience more REM time, hence the reason you no longer need to sleep as long. The need for a completely dark room is the reason why I bought blackout curtains years ago. But I also need Frasier (tv sitcom) playing in the background 😏 with the tv set on a timer
It really depends on my dreams. Sometimes if I dream of running around, being chased or chasing someone, or running from something . I’ll wake up tired.
You're 💯% right, Dr. Berg. My stomach is no longer my god. Needless unhealthy eating is a bad boss. With IF & Keto, I've never felt better & now, I'm just 10 lbs. away from my ideal weight! You're the best, Dr. Berg. 😊
Thank you for the reminder. I'm the boss! Been feeling really down lately, my diet has not been the fuel my body has needed. That is changing today. Just been in a weird funk since this foot surgery in December. I hate feeling fogged out, unhealthy.
I am a carer for a 100 year old female. She is still in good health. She has a cup of tea and a slice of toast at 9AM, her lunch at 12.30 pm and dinner at 5PM
@@ursulamullikin4723you don’t have to but you can… I go in the morning and don’t eat 🤷♀️ I used to think I couldn’t function without breakfast but now I feel fine without it
@fransmagnusson8742 I prefer eating after the gym since I can go without eating breakfast til 10 each day and til 12 when I'm fasting longer. I believe it helps boost metabolism to help burn more fat having breakfast after workout. Listen to your body tho, if you're feeling lightheaded especially.
I do IF only i eat breakfast at around 9am now and finish my ladt meal at 4pm. 2 meals a day. 4 eggs for breakfast along with saurakut, broccoli sprouts and radish sprouts with EVOO on . Walk 15 to 20k steps daily. All good here ❤
I’ve noticed since I’ve quit eating Jimmy Dean biscuits or hot pocket breakfast and started eating 6 eggs and pistachios for breakfast during my work week and IF on the weekends I’ve definitely noticed I don’t wake up exhausted and lost a lot of weight as well.
I remember I went to bed on a windy night, only to wake up in the morning and find out the power had been knocked out at some point while I was sleeping. Interestingly enough, I can report that I woke up feeling more refreshed and as if I had a better night of sleep. I definitely think it had something to do with no EMF in the room/house.
After having followed my intermittent fasting (OMAD) routine for 6 years, my hunger literally dissipates within a 20-hour timeframe. Most of the time I wake up with a fresh spirit, and I believe I'm not influenced by excessive sugar and carbs mentioned in this video. Nevertheless, I continue to monitor my eating habits and avoid excessive sugar and carbs, despite being an active runner, swimmer, and long-distance biker.🙏
* Waking up is a hormonal process, so takes longer than, say, a nervous reaction (eg. Tap to the knee reflex). * Stretch when you wake up. Many body functions rely on the movement of your body. * Sleep 6 or 9 hours. Sleep cycles 1.5 hours long. * You can sleep for more than one period a day. Search on biphasic sleep. * If it’s 4am or 6am and you don’t have work tomorrow, start your day and get some productivity done!
Biphasic sleep? What our ancestors did? Honestly, these days that would be called insomnia. And apparently, if we keep waking up periodically, we can't ever get a chance to reach our REM.
I found that I was running a bit too high on ammonia, so citrulline / L-Ornithine were great things to supplement with because they helped get rid of all that excess ammonia, which was causing some fatigue and brain fog. Also helps to keep water with me at my bed and if I wake up initially close to my wake up time, I'll chug the water, otherwise at least chug immediately after the alarm goes. Fighting dehydration right off the bat isn't the worst idea in the world to gain more energy and clarity.
I’m 68 and pretty darn fit… Wake up pretty much exhausted every morning after having Lyme disease and some mycotoxin issues… Mold and metals 15 years ago. I do all of this quite well EXCEPT we tend to eat late 7 PM so sometimes not finished until close to 8 PM with bedtime around 10 PM. This is going to be very hard to change. Also, I do notice when I have a high carb day/night my already inflamed body is much worse great video.
Sounds like you’re doing great already and starting fast 2-3hrs before sleep is very acceptable. As long as most of your meal is easily digestible and “rest-inducing” food. Poultry specially turkey, fatty fish specially salmon, nuts specially walnuts, eggs, cooked vegs, chamomile tea.
no joke really appreciate you doing this video. my wife and i just turned 29 and are already seeing how much slower weve been getting and new it was due to our diet. were healthier and dont eat like empty empty carbs, but have alot of carbs like you shared. going to make the switch and see how it helps us. cause we need it.
Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge. My granddaughter lately wants to eat every hour, she is only 4 years old, her weight is good, and she is very active. Her meals are not always healthy she eats unhealthy carbs (bread, pasta, rice, cheese oat meal) almost every day, sometimes she gets up at midnight and hides to eat sweets. I know this it’s not right. Hope you can have a video on healthy food choices for kids and moms. 🤗
Been keto for awhile, mostly I took a lot of great info from dr berg….. have kept the lifestyle change as it is a game changer. 52 and feel 30 again. Don’t think of it as a diet, make it a lifestyle.and seek out information everywhere. Know your body and treat it well
An undiagnosed case of neurological apnea can mimic all of the symptoms you mentioned. My wife said I would breathe out and forget to inhale. My blood O2 sats fell below 85%. After struggling to find a mask I could tolerate I felt SO MUCH better.
So what I think I find most interesting is yes I agree not eating so close to bedtime. But the downfall to that is doctor that your stomach produces something called Grelen which signals the brain telling it to eat. So if you don’t eat enough food for dinner and find a really good timing balance to when you go to bed you’re stomach will be telling your brain the whole night to wake up and eat food because it’s hungry which is a major sleep disruptor. You may want to factor that in as well. Thanks for all your educational videos as we love them.
Yes! I hate waking up starving int he middle of the night (or waking up to pee and then not being able to fall asleep again because I'm too hungry). That also messes up with sleep. :D
❤, You are such a genius when it comes to research, medicine, and health Doctor❗❗ The world needs more humans like you. God bless you for all your good intentions, your good and valuable information, and for being such a caring human being.💗
Being refreshed after sleep will depend if the sleep was of good quality and natural (without simulants or sleep-aids) but what is most important yet not mentioned is water, being hydrated prior to sleep will allow the brain to be rinsed (yes it's a thing) and be feel better in the morning.
I eat dumbbells barbells cables bands and my own body weight for breakfast. Breakfast for champions! 😛 But on a more serious note, I definitely improved how energized I feel in the morning since I started to implement eating within a time window and be very wary of the sugars I consume. Wish I had this knowledge more prior in life, even though I’m still relatively young 😋
For so long I have given into and allowed my body to dictate what it wants to eat, this video is so inspiring...today's foods CAUSE cravings we have to take back control of our diets and our health, this video is so inspiring thank you Dr Berg once again.
I've taken Glycine for the past week and it has been a game charger. I'm dreaming very vividly and waking up way more refreshed than before on the same amount of sleep. It was literal immediate effect the very next morning. I was already taking NAC as it is so I gave it a shot and it is well worth it.
I have Fibromyalgia, Arthritis & Allergies and live in an apartment complex by major road traffic & have spam phone calls on the answering machine...it is inevitable not waking up "refreshed"🤣 I have taken all the recommendations everybody gives including you Dr. Berg....IT is what it IS😉
Dr. Berg, please do a video on staying asleep. I fall asleep with no problem but wake up about every 90 minutes, all night, every night. Its exhausting. Cutting out carbs before bed has helped but its still been YEARS since ive slept thru the night and woke up feeling refreshed.
I find that when trying to sleep and having anxiety if I switch my thoughts and force myself to have thoughts of gratitude and or think of things I'm grateful for, it's much easier to drift away.
@@Drberg I love your work! I recommend you to all my loved ones. I've been in the security field for about 10 years. If you ever need someone to watch your back in Oregon it'd be an honor!!
Perfect timing, I woke up this morning and felt like I'd been hit by a truck. There was no reason for it either that I was aware of. However, I did spend the whole day with my vegan friends and ate what they were eating which was tons of carbs. Your presentation says it all. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I have been struggling with waking up feeling extrmely fatigued until about 11-12 for years now. I have been working on cutting out sugar but it had been really hard as I start to crave it even more once I cut it out. Thank you for this video 🙏🏼
Ty, specifically for your most recent videos! The speak to every issue I've been having... ty for being a "root solver" I am taking more vitamin d3 and working on my diet!
I haven't noticed this with rice dishes. I usually feel great after a meal of rice with lots of vegetables. I eat oat porridge with nuts, fruits, seeds for a late, late, breakfast, but this might be the cause of aches and pains. It's an experiment. I have to eat a late breakfast,otherwise I run out of energy to run errands. Dinner has to come, within hours, otherwise I must go sleep. I am the most productive, before breakfast and when I am totally alone. I will start a self-made exercise program tonight. A stay in the hospital, 2 years ago and the medications after a cardioversion, have had a great influence on my long recovery time of 2 years now. It started getting better 2 months ago. Glad to be able to remember, think again and not hear extra noises in my ears, upon awaking in the night.
Salve ,sono una sua iscritta da molto tempo,ma essendo di nazionalità italiana,e avendo un inglese base-scolastico,faccio molta fatica a comprendere i suoi video. Potrebbe mettere i sottotitoli in italiano,sarebbe più facile per me e per chiunque non sappia benissimo l'inglese. Grazie👍🙂
Thank you so much, doctor Berg, Your knowledge and expertise are truly invaluable. You have a remarkable ability to explain complex medical concepts in a way that we can all understand. It's evident that you genuinely care about our well-being and strive to keep us informed and healthy.
That's spot on Dr berg... I live on kale avo pineapple spirulina with mix or blue berries banana... Bla bla .... No matter if I wake at 3 and not sleep.. I'm full on energy When I cheat and eat a box of biscuits or lots of cake ... I'm sooo tired .... It's crazy .. have an amazing day Dr berg
Insulin is not needed for glucose absorption by brain cells (and some bone marrow cells) .... It may play other regulatory processes in the brain. Too much sugar is not good anyways but it is the primary source of energy for the brain so we need enough of it to function properly. It's important that we actually make it if we don't consume it like cholesterol.
Doc B. you come with great steps for those who listen to get their health on track, me included, thanks a ton for making it all so easy to understand and alllll the assisting content you've created 🙌 Could you maybe make a video on nnEMF's (non native EMF's)? Perhaps combined with grounding and perhaps it's effect on if and autofagy..that would be SO insightful!
I've had a period of time in which keto helped my energy, but when I tried again it didn't help much. I'm still usually trying to lower carbs, especially in the morning, and I think I usually feel slightly better on low carb. I stopped keto mostly because I lost too much weight and was almost underweight, but also because it can be really difficult to stick strict diets.
@helenketo251 thanks for the reply. well, my bmi was getting below 18.5, any muscle weight I've gained quickly disappeared and at some point the energy boost I had disappeared as well. But sure I also started looking a bit on the unhealthy thin side (in my opinion). So not only looks wise but health wise too. I think the amount I was eating was fine and I followed the "healthy keto" 1/2 the meal is vegetables, often including spinach and broccoli, 1/4~1/3 was usually animal based protein and the rest was fatty foods like avocado or olives. I didn't have much issues with cravings of any sort. Just unable to keep or raise my weight, it kept going down.
Since childhood I skipped breakfast by instinct, had a snack (apple or piece of bread) around 10 AM and a small lunch at 1 PM. My food intake was in the late afternoon around 6 PM and so it took me little to adapt to one meal a day at around 4 PM. In the cold season I have a salad at 1 PM. And I have a cup of coffee with 10 g of sugar in the morning (I need this amount of sugar for survival, and don't need medical treatment).
4 eggs and some oily mackeral is my favorite breakfast 😊😊😊 thanks dr berg. Going on a 7 day wheatgrass , sardine , bone broth fast. Fixing that gutt biome 😊😊
Good Video, we eat food to entertain ourselves, to keep us busy!! It would help if people get more active so they don’t think of food all the time !!! Has it happened to you when you are busy at work and you forget to eat lunch !!! start an activity to keep you busy( walking, running, jogging, trails, cycling, swimming, ……..) it takes you mind off food .
5:40. Amen! The greatest test of our character is temptation resisted. Mind over matter. Seriously. You have to choose your hard. Self denial of garbage and crap, or all the symptoms of SADD. Your choice. Thank you Dr. Berg for helping us all!! 👏🤗🥹❤️
Seen this on Dr. Jocker's website. (Dr. Jocker's) Main causes of morning fatigue: -Poor Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Disruptions -Blood Sugar Problems -HPA Axis Dysfunction - Hypothyroidism -Mitochondrial Dysfunction -Dehydration and Bodily Stagnation Supporting my circadian rhythm as well as mitochondria dysfunction and body stagnation through exercise, helped me tremendously. Of course keto, intermittent fasting and Dr. Berg's Electrolyte Powder as well. Thanks Dr. Berg!❤
I am literally feeling like this rt now. Had a meal of delicious soup beans with smoked turkey butts and a crusty bread for dinner yesterday evening. I usually drink cinnamon tea. And I don't usually have an appetite in the mornings.

@fransmagnusson8742 I prefer eating after the gym since I can go without eating breakfast til 10 each day and til 12 when I'm fasting longer. I believe it helps boost metabolism to help burn more fat having breakfast after workout. Listen to your body tho, if you're feeling lightheaded especially.
I do IF only i eat breakfast at around 9am now and finish my ladt meal at 4pm. 2 meals a day. 4 eggs for breakfast along with saurakut, broccoli sprouts and radish sprouts with EVOO on . Walk 15 to 20k steps daily. All good here ❤
Perfect timing. I just woke up tired.
My tiredness will last about 30mins to an hour after waking up.. I’ll heed to your advice and hopefully I can feel better
Just what I needed. No matter how many hours I sleep I'm tired when I wake up
Answer to almost everything is going low or zero carbs and intermittent fasting ❤❤
What's wrong with carbs? That's what the body uses for fuel ..glucose .
Don't let anyone convince you of that . Carbs are good for you . They are converted to glucose . The bodies main fuel source .
I’ve noticed since I’ve quit eating Jimmy Dean biscuits or hot pocket breakfast and started eating 6 eggs and pistachios for breakfast during my work week and IF on the weekends I’ve definitely noticed I don’t wake up exhausted and lost a lot of weight as well.
How amazing that whenever I am worried about something; i find you talking about it and giving the solution. I love you Eric
I remember I went to bed on a windy night, only to wake up in the morning and find out the power had been knocked out at some point while I was sleeping. Interestingly enough, I can report that I woke up feeling more refreshed and as if I had a better night of sleep. I definitely think it had something to do with no EMF in the room/house.
After having followed my intermittent fasting (OMAD) routine for 6 years, my hunger literally dissipates within a 20-hour timeframe. Most of the time I wake up with a fresh spirit, and I believe I'm not influenced by excessive sugar and carbs mentioned in this video. Nevertheless, I continue to monitor my eating habits and avoid excessive sugar and carbs, despite being an active runner, swimmer, and long-distance biker.🙏
* Waking up is a hormonal process, so takes longer than, say, a nervous reaction (eg. Tap to the knee reflex).
* Stretch when you wake up. Many body functions rely on the movement of your body.
* Sleep 6 or 9 hours. Sleep cycles 1.5 hours long.
* You can sleep for more than one period a day. Search on biphasic sleep.
* If it’s 4am or 6am and you don’t have work tomorrow, start your day and get some productivity done!
No that’s WAY too early, I’d be way too tired
Biphasic sleep? What our ancestors did? Honestly, these days that would be called insomnia. And apparently, if we keep waking up periodically, we can't ever get a chance to reach our REM.
Isn't 6 hours too short? I would never wake up refreshed with 6 hours of sleep
Dr. Berg, your videos have become a daily routine for me. I appreciate all you do. 🤘
I'm so grateful!
I found that I was running a bit too high on ammonia, so citrulline / L-Ornithine were great things to supplement with because they helped get rid of all that excess ammonia, which was causing some fatigue and brain fog. Also helps to keep water with me at my bed and if I wake up initially close to my wake up time, I'll chug the water, otherwise at least chug immediately after the alarm goes. Fighting dehydration right off the bat isn't the worst idea in the world to gain more energy and clarity.
Thank you, I will try those.
How you find out that youre were running high on ammonia? Thank you!
Lemon water, first thing in the AM.
You found out you were high on ammonia..? How?
@@karerabbe7829 .
I love these sleep recommendations you give! Thanks, Dr. Berg!!
You're very welcome!
Fatigue has been haunting me for years! Keto has helped but your B1 video seems to be the the missing piece of the puzzle. Thanks bro! Game changer!
How do u take vit B1 please
I’m 68 and pretty darn fit… Wake up pretty much exhausted every morning after having Lyme disease and some mycotoxin issues… Mold and metals 15 years ago. I do all of this quite well EXCEPT we tend to eat late 7 PM so sometimes not finished until close to 8 PM with bedtime around 10 PM. This is going to be very hard to change. Also, I do notice when I have a high carb day/night my already inflamed body is much worse great video.
Sounds like you’re doing great already and starting fast 2-3hrs before sleep is very acceptable. As long as most of your meal is easily digestible and “rest-inducing” food. Poultry specially turkey, fatty fish specially salmon, nuts specially walnuts, eggs, cooked vegs, chamomile tea.
no joke really appreciate you doing this video. my wife and i just turned 29 and are already seeing how much slower weve been getting and new it was due to our diet. were healthier and dont eat like empty empty carbs, but have alot of carbs like you shared. going to make the switch and see how it helps us. cause we need it.
I swear I was literally just thinking about this right now!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dr. Berg with the mind reading algorithm again 🙏👍😁🤣
Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge. My granddaughter lately wants to eat every hour, she is only 4 years old, her weight is good, and she is very active. Her meals are not always healthy she eats unhealthy carbs (bread, pasta, rice, cheese oat meal) almost every day, sometimes she gets up at midnight and hides to eat sweets. I know this it’s not right. Hope you can have a video on healthy food choices for kids and moms. 🤗
Move to the seaside, sleeping next to the sea is healthy especially at sea level with sea spray . People are known to reach 100+ living by the sea.
This is true. Oxygen is created by planktons in sea, so you get fresh oxygen
What about using an ioniser at the bedside. This mimics the negative ions that are in abundance near to the sea..
Been keto for awhile, mostly I took a lot of great info from dr berg….. have kept the lifestyle change as it is a game changer. 52 and feel 30 again. Don’t think of it as a diet, make it a lifestyle.and seek out information everywhere. Know your body and treat it well
That's wonderful!
An undiagnosed case of neurological apnea can mimic all of the symptoms you mentioned.
My wife said I would breathe out and forget to inhale.
My blood O2 sats fell below 85%.
After struggling to find a mask I could tolerate I felt SO MUCH better.
So what I think I find most interesting is yes I agree not eating so close to bedtime. But the downfall to that is doctor that your stomach produces something called Grelen which signals the brain telling it to eat. So if you don’t eat enough food for dinner and find a really good timing balance to when you go to bed you’re stomach will be telling your brain the whole night to wake up and eat food because it’s hungry which is a major sleep disruptor. You may want to factor that in as well. Thanks for all your educational videos as we love them.
Yes! I hate waking up starving int he middle of the night (or waking up to pee and then not being able to fall asleep again because I'm too hungry). That also messes up with sleep. :D
❤, You are such a genius when it comes to research, medicine, and health Doctor❗❗ The world needs more humans like you. God bless you for all your good intentions, your good and valuable information, and for being such a caring human being.💗
Being refreshed after sleep will depend if the sleep was of good quality and natural (without simulants or sleep-aids) but what is most important yet not mentioned is water, being hydrated prior to sleep will allow the brain to be rinsed (yes it's a thing) and be feel better in the morning.
Except that you get up to drain out in the middle of the night.
Since I’ve started taking MagTech (with key ingredient being Magnesium L-Threonate) I wake up fully alert! Life changing stuff
I eat dumbbells barbells cables bands and my own body weight for breakfast. Breakfast for champions! 😛 But on a more serious note, I definitely improved how energized I feel in the morning since I started to implement eating within a time window and be very wary of the sugars I consume. Wish I had this knowledge more prior in life, even though I’m still relatively young 😋
This is so true, most morning I do not feel like eating. Everyday I eat my dinner between 4 to 6 and never eat anything after. Thank you dr. B.
For so long I have given into and allowed my body to dictate what it wants to eat, this video is so inspiring...today's foods CAUSE cravings we have to take back control of our diets and our health, this video is so inspiring thank you Dr Berg once again.
Magnesium Bisgycinate was a game changer for me. 2 capsules really changes the way I wake up. So relaxed!
How much mg ?
I've taken Glycine for the past week and it has been a game charger. I'm dreaming very vividly and waking up way more refreshed than before on the same amount of sleep. It was literal immediate effect the very next morning. I was already taking NAC as it is so I gave it a shot and it is well worth it.
This is really me even though I get 8 hours sleep
Sleep Debt
Sleep Apnea??
Maybe you should check you thyroid
Do you have any difficulty breathing while you sleep?
Same and no to all the above questions
I LOVE the way you explained everything and how we have to tell our body's what we are going to eat
Knowing what not to do and eating what you should prove to be the key in keeping us healthy for years to come.
I have Fibromyalgia, Arthritis & Allergies and live in an apartment complex by major road traffic & have spam phone calls on the answering machine...it is inevitable not waking up "refreshed"🤣 I have taken all the recommendations everybody gives including you Dr. Berg....IT is what it IS😉
Have u tries full carnivore diet? If you did it, how did it work?
Why would you leave the answering machine turned up loud enough to hear it when sleeping?
This is all so true for me also. If I eat a good lunch and dinner, I sleep so much better.
There are a lot of people with chronic medical conditions that effect sleep in which improving their diet will have minimal impact.
@lelskiiii19 yep
Dr. Berg, please do a video on staying asleep. I fall asleep with no problem but wake up about every 90 minutes, all night, every night. Its exhausting. Cutting out carbs before bed has helped but its still been YEARS since ive slept thru the night and woke up feeling refreshed.
I started sleeping through the night 8 years ago when taking 400-600 mg of magnesium before bed. Less morning body aches too! I felt younger.
@@snikpoh3894 I'll try 400mg tonight. Thank you! ❤
Same here and I wake up before six tossing and turning praying for my phone to go off.
I find that when trying to sleep and having anxiety if I switch my thoughts and force myself to have thoughts of gratitude and or think of things I'm grateful for, it's much easier to drift away.
That's great. Thanks for sharing here what helps you. Take care.
@@Drberg I love your work! I recommend you to all my loved ones. I've been in the security field for about 10 years. If you ever need someone to watch your back in Oregon it'd be an honor!!
Perfect timing, I woke up this morning and felt like I'd been hit by a truck. There was no reason for it either that I was aware of. However, I did spend the whole day with my vegan friends and ate what they were eating which was tons of carbs. Your presentation says it all. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Vegans hate humans. Best to keep vegans out of your life.
Yes,tested already for 18 mths 20 hrs everyday intermittentl fasting ketogenic.Tnx Dr.Berg ❤
I have been struggling with waking up feeling extrmely fatigued until about 11-12 for years now. I have been working on cutting out sugar but it had been really hard as I start to crave it even more once I cut it out. Thank you for this video 🙏🏼
Keep at it! It's the devil and make it so it's just a once in a while treat
I agree it's really hard. Just remember: "SUGAR is the most prolific DRUG in the world"!
Print it out and stick above your computer screen!
Use a safe substitute. Cinnamon.
get on celery, either juice or eat it x
But fruits are ok or no?
Ty, specifically for your most recent videos! The speak to every issue I've been having... ty for being a "root solver" I am taking more vitamin d3 and working on my diet!
Excellent advice…I eat around 2 or 3. If I eat later I wake up with a headache! So thankful for Dr. Berg and all his wonderful information.
Thanks again Dr Berg 😢😢❤
Great video as always. Even if a subject does not apply to me, I still watch cause there is always something to learn.
I haven't noticed this with rice dishes. I usually feel great after a meal of rice with lots of vegetables. I eat oat porridge with nuts, fruits, seeds for a late, late, breakfast, but this might be the cause of aches and pains. It's an experiment. I have to eat a late breakfast,otherwise I run out of energy to run errands. Dinner has to come, within hours, otherwise I must go sleep. I am the most productive, before breakfast and when I am totally alone. I will start a self-made exercise program tonight. A stay in the hospital, 2 years ago and the medications after a cardioversion, have had a great influence on my long recovery time of 2 years now. It started getting better 2 months ago. Glad to be able to remember, think again and not hear extra noises in my ears, upon awaking in the night.
Salve ,sono una sua iscritta da molto tempo,ma essendo di nazionalità italiana,e avendo un inglese base-scolastico,faccio molta fatica a comprendere i suoi video.
Potrebbe mettere i sottotitoli in italiano,sarebbe più facile per me e per chiunque non sappia benissimo l'inglese.
Grazie👍🙂
When you explain it like that, it helps understand the situation.
Absolutely right 😊willpower once you feel the benefits & feeling great 😊you don't go back as sugar etc crippling the mind & body .
As I've grown older, I notice that I wake in the morning with aches and pains FROM SLEEPING. Back in the day, I use to wake with my body refreshed.
Thank you, this is so helpful especially for those who rely on brainstorming things to get work done
Thank you so much, doctor Berg, Your knowledge and expertise are truly invaluable. You have a remarkable ability to explain complex medical concepts in a way that we can all understand. It's evident that you genuinely care about our well-being and strive to keep us informed and healthy.
My pleasure! Glad to help!
Honestly, switching to keto has helped tremendously with morning grogginess and brain fog. A month in and I feel awesome.
Mouth taping during sleep try it!
Thank you for your time Doc!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful.

I literally love love love when you say cereal and year, idk why it just makes me feel happy lol God bless you Dr Berg!
Thank you so much. I like your channel and i shared to my friends and family. Thank you again💐
That's spot on Dr berg... I live on kale avo pineapple spirulina with mix or blue berries banana... Bla bla .... No matter if I wake at 3 and not sleep.. I'm full on energy When I cheat and eat a box of biscuits or lots of cake ... I'm sooo tired .... It's crazy .. have an amazing day Dr berg
One week into the carnivore diet and I am waking up fully rested every morning.
Insulin is not needed for glucose absorption by brain cells (and some bone marrow cells) .... It may play other regulatory processes in the brain. Too much sugar is not good anyways but it is the primary source of energy for the brain so we need enough of it to function properly. It's important that we actually make it if we don't consume it like cholesterol.
Doc B. you come with great steps for those who listen to get their health on track, me included, thanks a ton for making it all so easy to understand and alllll the assisting content you've created 🙌
Could you maybe make a video on nnEMF's (non native EMF's)? Perhaps combined with grounding and perhaps it's effect on if and autofagy..that would be SO insightful!
One of the rare times I have watched a RUclips video twice in a row. Touche!
I've had a period of time in which keto helped my energy, but when I tried again it didn't help much.
I'm still usually trying to lower carbs, especially in the morning, and I think I usually feel slightly better on low carb.
I stopped keto mostly because I lost too much weight and was almost underweight, but also because it can be really difficult to stick strict diets.
@helenketo251 thanks for the reply.
well, my bmi was getting below 18.5, any muscle weight I've gained quickly disappeared and at some point the energy boost I had disappeared as well.
But sure I also started looking a bit on the unhealthy thin side (in my opinion).
So not only looks wise but health wise too.
I think the amount I was eating was fine and I followed the "healthy keto" 1/2 the meal is vegetables, often including spinach and broccoli, 1/4~1/3 was usually animal based protein and the rest was fatty foods like avocado or olives.
I didn't have much issues with cravings of any sort.
Just unable to keep or raise my weight, it kept going down.
Since childhood I skipped breakfast by instinct, had a snack (apple or piece of bread) around 10 AM and a small lunch at 1 PM. My food intake was in the late afternoon around 6 PM and so it took me little to adapt to one meal a day at around 4 PM. In the cold season I have a salad at 1 PM. And I have a cup of coffee with 10 g of sugar in the morning (I need this amount of sugar for survival, and don't need medical treatment).
Wow doesn’t seem you eat that much and living on salad hope your getting enough nutrients all up ❤
4 eggs and some oily mackeral is my favorite breakfast 😊😊😊 thanks dr berg. Going on a 7 day wheatgrass , sardine , bone broth fast. Fixing that gutt biome 😊😊
Good Video, we eat food to entertain ourselves, to keep us busy!! It would help if people get more active so they don’t think of food all the time !!! Has it happened to you when you are busy at work and you forget to eat lunch !!! start an activity to keep you busy( walking, running, jogging, trails, cycling, swimming, ……..) it takes you mind off food .
This is massive. Thank you sir.
5:40. Amen! The greatest test of our character is temptation resisted. Mind over matter. Seriously. You have to choose your hard. Self denial of garbage and crap, or all the symptoms of SADD. Your choice.
Thank you Dr. Berg for helping us all!! 👏🤗🥹❤️
WOW! Thank you sooo much, Dr. Eric Berg!!! 🙏🏼❤
You're most welcome!
Seen this on Dr. Jocker's website.

Main causes of morning fatigue:
-Poor Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Disruptions
-Blood Sugar Problems
-HPA Axis Dysfunction
- Hypothyroidism
-Mitochondrial Dysfunction
-Dehydration and Bodily Stagnation
Supporting my circadian rhythm as well as mitochondria dysfunction and body stagnation through exercise, helped me tremendously. Of course keto, intermittent fasting and Dr. Berg's Electrolyte Powder as well. Thanks Dr. Berg!❤
I use to have sleep apnea real real bad until I got a cpap & started sleeping with my mouth closed when I don’t wear the machine
So incredibly helpful and educational! Thank you!
Great. Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching.
I am literally feeling like this rt now. Had a meal of delicious soup beans with smoked turkey butts and a crusty bread for dinner yesterday evening.
I usually drink cinnamon tea. And I don't usually have an appetite in the mornings.
That sounds so good though. Lol
@MZCrayKray Sis, it was sooooo good, though, lol.
Not eating in the evening helps alot yes
Thank you so much Doctor Berg.Great advise, it's very good for my mom.Have a good day dr Berg and your team ❤
