In this video, we're going to talk about cirrhosis and the early detection of silent liver cirrhosis.
What is cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis is scar tissue of the liver.
Categories of cirrhosis:
1. Compensated Cirrhosis - Where the body is compensating, there are no symptoms.
2. Decompensated Cirrhosis - This is where you start experiencing all of the symptoms.
Symptoms of cirrhosis:
• Spider Angioma - Red web-like veins
• Xanthomas - Small yellow cholesterol spots, sometimes around the eyelids
• Jaundice - The whites of the eyes and the skin become yellow
• Thin Skin - You can't make collagen anymore
• Ascites - A fluid-filled sac around the mid-section
• Gynecomastia - Breast tissue
• Clubbed fingernails
• Edema in the lower leg
• Red Palms
• Confusion
• Bruising
• Itchy skin
• Cognitive issues
What causes cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis of the liver starts with insulin resistance from:
• Alcohol
• High carb diets
• Junk food
• Sugar
• Frequent eating
• Drugs (legal or illegal)
• Viruses
Insulin resistance creates a lot of inflammation, which will also make insulin resistance worse. This situation may lead to a fatty liver, which can then lead to scar tissue in the liver that causes you to lose liver function, which is cirrhosis.
Insulin resistance is also associated with:
• Diabetes
• Metabolic syndrome
• Obesity
If you have symptoms of cirrhosis, you may want to start by fixing the insulin resistance.

Today is my first day sober I’m gonna start being healthy as much as I can
You can do it!! Take one day at a time. You deserve it.
Hows it going?🙌😁
💯👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
U know alcohol is the most difficult thing to give up because it’s everywhere and virtually at every social event Ull ever attend and nearly every person around u at such events will b consuming it and yet uve got to abstain so all the power to u and hope u succeed it’s difficult I know but if ur strong and determined u can do it
How are you doing?
@@laceybanter5937 struggling I’ve cut it down but try not to touch it during the week but weekends r a different matter got drunk last night and I’m about 7 bottles in so far tonight I ain’t strong enough yet hopefully ur doing better stay strong
I like the length of this video. Some other health experts take half an hour to say what you do in just five minutes!
Amen and the lack of annoying background music is wonderful too!
I completely agree. Saves our life time!
@@gkodavuru1826 saves our lives
I like that also. Sometimes, the longer the video, you get credit.
Totally my reason for watching.
22 years and 5 months sober. Was drinking 3 bottles of Vodka a day at my very lowest point. Admitted myself to hospital where I was successfully detoxed. A liver biopsy revealed a very fatty liver. Fortunately I had no sign of hepatitis or fibrosis and a few months later my liver was completely normal. Wished I sought some support as it was hard facing life without alcohol at the age of 30. I wish anyone who is battling alcohol dependency all the very best. 🙏🏼
Woow hey chris
You had a liver biopsy how was the test performed?
@@myyoutubechannel3161 hello 👋 so they gave me a local anaesthetic then inserted a needle into my liver, just below the ribs on the right side of my abdomen. They took a sliver of liver and then it was sent to histopathology for examination under a microscope (I presume) the results showed that I had steatosis (basically liver fat) fortunately I had no inflammation or fibrosis. After 6 months of abstinence I had my liver function blood tests repeated and an ultrasound of my liver. They were completely normal as I had stopped drinking. The worst thing about the biopsy was having to lie still for 6 hours on my left side. This is to prevent any bleeding. That was done on Christmas Eve 1999. I got my results back on the 6th of January. I know a bit about the liver so was very relieved that they caught it early as once scarring occurs it’s permanent and can still progress to cirrhosis over a few years despite abstinence. Technology has now changed and there is a very quick non invasive ultrasound that can detect the density of your liver and if the result is out of the normal range then they will advise accordingly depending on how high the reading is. Hope this was useful.
@@chrisk7082 thanks I'm glad your good. What ultrasound is done to detect liver failure?
Did you have any symptoms when you admitted yourself to the hospital?
I’m 5 months sober. It’s information like this that give me a nice reminder as to why I am and will continue to be. Thank you sir!
Now you would be 10 months👍
Keep it up. 22 years and counting for me. The battle is never completely over. It will always be a one day at a time affair. God bless.
Congratulations. Wishing you all the best.👍
5 months sober for me today. My father passed at 55 from this disease and it wasn’t pretty at all so I am trying super hard this time to stay sober as ALL my organs are starting to fail me now not just my liver. It’s a horrible disease.
@@youcanask2980 Congratulations on 5 months! God loves you regardless. God is love. Love always hopes... Praying for you. God invites you to heaven and He paid your way. He's not trying to kill you or torture you to get you there. There's just a lot of corruption and toxins, etc. down here. You can heal. Pray for Wisdom and keep watching Dr. Berg.
I am a nurse and I have learned more about health from you, Dr. Berg, than from nursing school or even in my nursing practice with any other doctors. You are such a gem and a sincere conveyor of knowledge and wisdom. I can tell you really care and want to get this information out so we can all be healthy!! I've been doing keto and IF since March and down 54 lbs and have never felt better in my life, thanks to you!!
Amen!!!!!
Ofcourse you have, reg. School only teaches about big pharma.💝💝💝
Excellent
suzym26 then god help your patients
this is an advance stage of liver damage
This guy has literally saved my life. I wish he educated me 30 years ago instead of the mainstream mis information we are fed. Thankfully I'm now fighting fit and healthy again.
The ten scariest words in the English language are, "Hi, I'm from the media and I'm here to help!
If I knew 30 years ago what I know now, I might be healthy. When first told I had hep-c, the treatment was like Kemo or something. The Dr. told me there would be days I wouldn't be able to get out of bed because the treatment would be so bad. Also I was told there was no guarantee it would even work. I was working construction as a glazer. I couldn't take days off. couldn't feel anything wrong with me and thought I was healthy and strong as an ox. Then it got bad. By then they had the 8 week daily pill that cured the hep-c in less than 8 weeks. Even though I was cured of hep-c which I think I got at the hosp. when they had to operate on my broken compound fracture femur. That was back in 1980 before they checked the blood for diseases. But how do you prove that? Now I have outlived what the "specialist told me my time left. And I suffer all the time. Can't sleep, always in pain, can't eat hardly anything. Good luck to everyone!
@@moses7874 wishing you the best, Leo. I would like to suggest you to research/look into a supplement called "NAC". Have a good one and wishing you the best.
AMEN TO THAT. ME TOO!!
Scared straight!
How could anyone dislike an educational video like this....so many haters on the web I swear...
Yeah, some people don’t like you saving their lives...stop it!🤓
There are people that don't want you to know, when it comes to being in control of your health , they make too much money to keep you in there system. Look at the poor. junk food and liver disease in the making.. they don't tell you how to heal your liver. Most food in the grocery stores are not healthy and have little nutrition
25,000 Likes, 400 dislikes, to me that sounds pretty good. With all the people out there telling young obese girls how they should love their body the way it is and don't change, then tell those trying to save their lives they are fat shaming, I am surprised the dislike numbers aren't higher.
Maybe the ones that didn’t like it are alcoholics
They got cirrhosis of the liver 😆!
Thank you, your videos are helping me so much! I'm 68 and was pushing 250lbs. I started a healthy One Meal A Day Diet dinner, green tea with ACV and cinnamon in the morning, a month back, and have lost 20 lbs and going down daily. I feel so much better that I've even started doing push-ups again. Did two sets of 15 yesterday.
What is ACV?
@@frozen3409 apple cider vinegar
Acv is not good for you. It dehydtrates you! You may lose weight but you may as well be a pickle.
@@blackhawk24994 not sure where you go that info. I don't think that is true. You are only meant to have a little bit (like a spoonful) mixed with water.
Look at Hasfit as well they have good videos to help movement I’ve found them helpful
I lost my partner to cirrhosis of the liver and I was the one who found him... It was horrible. I only wish I'd seen this video ten years ago. It might have saved his life. He was 43
So Sorry for your loss. Rip, he is now your angel ❤
I lost my cousin 3 week before due to liver cirrhosis, I wish I saw these video before and he never tell us what’s happing to him , I am devastated with loss of my cousin, he is 44
I am so sorry for your loss.
My condolences 😔.
Like video because it’s short and goes to all the points with normal explanation. Glad we are able to follow along easily. Thanks !!!
To be honest, if you were on RUclips 18 years ago I would been in medical school just because of how much your videos are inspiring.
Yassss, I couldn't agree more! 👍 ❤️
You can do it now?
Breezy i would have too but too late. Lots of student loan debt 😔
You can't even write a sentence grammatically correct. You're too dumb.
Me too😏
This is the clearest description of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistace, cirrhosis and how they are linked that I have heard!
Linda Jennings Wilk I have problem with stomach all the time. I cannot pin point anything. My upper stomach which is above the belly button.
Annie Philip SIBO perhaps?
I experienced all of these symptoms in 2019. Drank myself near death. I was fortunate enough to receive a new liver. My transplant was last year right before COVID. Have been sober going on two years.
Nice ya we don't need any kind of alcohol
Yeah liver issues is probably much worst than heart issues. Your liver takes a hell of a beating with sugar, fats, enzymes, etc and anything you consume in large amount could kill your liver. Don't do drugs, alcohol or smoke. These 3 things will kill your liver. Also don't eat too much fatty food every day like a quadruple double cheese burger with sugar soda everyday.
@Harry Notwoke changed my life. The medication 💊 is not a problem. I feel better than ever!
@Harry Notwoke BTW: as far as “apply for a new liver”? That’s a lie. Many people die waiting on a new liver after getting on the waiting list. And it’s hard enough to even get on the waiting list. There are so many factors that come into play via the national transplant list.
Whoever said that was sadly misinformed. I guess he/she would rather die than clean up and start fresh.
@@ginoblackofficial How much did you use to drink? It would be useful to tell because most people have no clue if their drinking habits are too much/risky.
Some people get happy when they have or receive a lot of money.
Others when they go out and party with friends.
Me, I'm just a simple man who gets happy each time I get a notification of a new Dr Berg video.
This man is pure genius and has helped me soo much!
Listening to his advice has changed my life in many ways. Can't thank him enough, and his whole production crew for what they do.
Keep being awesome Eric and thank you once again for another wonderful video 👍
Count me in as well for I have the same perception :))
Thats great man::))
Yes exactly, me too!!! 👍👍👍
Count me in Bro. 😊
I have to agree. I feel exactly the same way.
Hi I'm also a doctor from Iraq I saw your videos in my recommendation and I'm glad I had seen it
yes you sick
I'm glad you are continuing education. This is admirable, and we need more doctors who think this way and want to keep leaning. Maybe when we come to Iraq, my family can meet you. How can I get in touch with you?
@@tarawiselove of course dear why not
@@pink985butterfly Thank you.
My mate had stage three fatty liver. And he started working out with me regularly 4 to 5 times a week. And 4 months in he lost 12 kg and his bloods are showing great results nearly at healthy levels again
Well awesome I just have a fatty liver but I don’t know what stage because my doctor didn’t really explain that this is really serious so I’m doing the same thing I am today was my fourth day dieting and I finally started walking on my treadmill and walking the dog today. I really hurt because there’s a pain on my back and in my stomach but if I don’t push myself to do this little bit of exercise that I started to do, I’m not gonna get any better it’s going to turn to the cirrhosis which I don’t want to have so that’s good that you and your friend are working out also, take care and God bless I pray everyone heals there liver !!!
Awesome
Quitter
What was your mate fibroscan report?
I'm a carb addict and this explains the damage I'm doing to my liver with constant high blood sugar. Going to try changing my diet to get the inflammation down. A lower carb/sugar diet will likely lessen my depression since inflammation is linked to depressive symptoms.
Thank you Dr Berg. Excellent video!!
How have you been since?
Needed this information. Having lots of these issues. Gives me a starting point. Thank you
hello robin, i am curious how things are going for you. Did you have High levels of Liver enzyme in your blood prior to following Dr Berg advice? i too am experiencing these symptoms among others... hope you are doing well...
Chris
Mate what he’s talking about is nothing , I have been resuscitated and nearly choked on my own blood due to advanced liver disease I think he would be better off explaining the more serious symptoms rather than that crap , I do my own research and see that many doctors and health care people i begging to know more than them!!
@@Genghis-Khan121 Dumb. He's explaining the lesser symptoms as a precognition (early) warning to those of us who may or may not have cirrhosis.
I got the “just lose weight” from my doctor when he diagnosed me with fatty liver. Thank you Dr Berg for breaking it down & telling how to fix. ❤️
If only all doctors were like you , explaining everything in such a clear way. Thanks doc keep up the good work.👍
They can’t spend a lot of time explaining anything because the insurance companies only allow them 15 minutes per patient and they are under contract- their hands are tied
It's my first week of sobriety, this was a great video and awakening, I have a long road ahead
I hope you are doing well. I quit drinking last Saturday (tomorrow will be 1 week). It feels good now, but all week I've been tired as hell. I think I can do this now.
Hope you stick with it.
Stick it out bro. I'm at 13 years sober, use to be a heavy drinker. It's a long road but it's not impossible, you'll get use to it. Prayer to the Lord Jesus will help you, he will hear you if you call on him. God bless bro.
Congratulations! Your liver is shouting THANK YOU!
Mike its three months since your post... Hope the road is getting shorter for you.
The level of detail you put into your videos is very impressive.
Eye opening. Didn't know this at all. Doctor’s stress about your heart and your eyes and your kidneys. Wow. Thank you for the information!
I love your use of the white board. The layout of information is a stairway to health. Thanks Dr. Berg.
I didn’t know for years later an now at 45 Ive been sober since 2017 living with cirrhosis everyday it’s not easy but I’m glad to be alive for my grand babies 🙏🏼❤️🙋🏻♀️
How do I treat the liver if I have cirrhosis?
I used to have what my Doctor say "elevated Liver Enzymes", early cirhossis. But quit alcohol, fast food + take milk thistle, green vegetables, milk. every blood test is now normal range. It's like the Liver can regenerate, unless it's in very, very bad shape. So, big difference between compensated and decompensated liver.
Milk thistle has never been proven to work it’s been promoted for years by hebalis that want your cash I have never come across one senior doctor that would say it works they have tested it out and was found to not make any difference , my liver specialist was a professor who made scientific discoveries highly respected man , he said to me don’t waste your money on that stuff it’s never been proven
@@Genghis-Khan121 you realise Drs can have bias. Also try getting a second opinion on treatments
@@Genghis-Khan121 docs are liars just like big pharma i had fatty liver and just with eating raw garlic and taking milk thistle everyday my numbers are normal again. Of course i also cut back on sugar and salt.
Also sarsaparilla ,Burdock Root and Yellow Dock is amazing on the liver.
Milk thistle is the real deal.
Your informative videos helped me recognize symptoms and reverse damage while enduring a 7 day body forced water fast.
I have a second chance at life, alcohol and medication free, a new life after 50 years of age.
Thank you 💗
Can you tell me what you mean by a forxed fast...and what did you,so afterwards??
I'm doing the same, Meds messed up my liver. Hope you feel better. 🙏🏻
Once you have killed your liver AKA cirrhosis- there's no undoing that and if you have actual liver disease 7 Day water fasts can be deadly as you don't want too much sodium.... Like what- I swear every comment is the same.
If you're just dealing with insulin resistance go comment on your keto video's, this is about cirrhosis. Is Dr Berg going to get you a liver transplant too even though you don't need one?!
@@dxxl- still going strong now almost 2023...put down the bottle for good back then. Uphill battle and recovery has been a careful step by small step, day by day, try to eat and move, and I believe I was given a big reset back 4 years ago, a genuine miracle.
I live Ever grateful and humbled to have this experience and see yet another Christmas.
Merry Christmas
@@jjcevering9411 merry Christmas sorry Im only 29 and just had imaging done, read my results on MyChart. I don't even drink, it was from a labor & delivery and no one's been listening to me until a year and a half later how fast I started declining I worry I won't get back up. I can barely walk as is. Sorry for being snooty, good for you.
This was great! I've had high cholesterol for years and just recently have elevated LFTs 6 months ago, So I begin to become more proactive with what I was eating, I started drinking Apple cider vinegar every day, and exercised more, then went back to the doctor and my liver enzymes are now normal but I still need to exercise and lose more weight.
My dad died from cirrhosis of the liver after only exactly 6 weeks from diagnosis. Certainly a silent killer.
Was he overweight or a drinker?
Took my dad 4 weeks from diagnosis
After getting my gallbladder removed, nobody mentioned any specific diet for me to follow.
Your videos are very educational and very helpful.
Thank you very much!
You'll probably want to check out his videos on Bile Salts and protocols after gall bladder removal.
Maria Isabel Montoya me too!! Not a word about diet change 😐
Maria Isabel Montoya Since mine has been removed I’ve felt not right since, still working on it
@@Java-Junky I would have to say that most doctors that I've ever met or talked to are as dumb misguided if anybody I have found so few doctors with a grip on reality and that is nutrition
Lol, most drs are too busy to tell you anything about dietary requirements. Time is money for them just enough to write you prescriptions.
Man, this helps me sooo much to stay / cut on alcohol. I needed to hear this.
Alcohol turns to glucose or sugar in your liver, so do processed foods. Whole, plant based foods should compose most of your diet in order to keep your glucose levels low and have a healthy liver.😊
I reversed my fatty liver for just only 2 months of diet. My lab results are all normal now, Including ultrasound.
Jan, i found out the other day that I have a fatty liver. Can you send me the diet that you used.. Thanks
Please help me how you did this ? They diagnosed me with a fatty liver after I had my baby 6 months ago. It’s getting serious now. And I hate when I get pain.
Please let us know what you did! Thanks 😊
Awesome ! Drugs are poison...
Food is medication. Congrats !
@@joanaagustin1 I suggest you adopt intermittent fasting as your eating habit, which is just:
1. Eat some good healthy and wholesome foods. Once you're full, stop eating.
2. Don't eat anything else at all until your body has fully digested and absorbed that last food (this takes about 10-16 hours, depending on what you ate last, the state of your body and other factors).
3. Repeat.
If you do this, you will feel better and your liver will thank you for the rest it will be getting from that day on. If you don't, well, you'll get the same results you've been getting so far. Enjoy!
Is frightening to hear how cirrhosis of the liver manifests in our body but is necessary to watch videos like this instead of going to one clinic to another. The way this condition manifests is so knew to me.
May the Lord bless you for putting these truths out FOR FREE in a succinct, easy-to-understand format. You always appear neat, clean, and well-dressed but not flashy.
I m diagnosed with NAFL im a subscriber and a fan. Another excellent informative video. Thank you. Keep up the good work.
I’m newly diagnosed with NAFLD and nobody has been able to tell me much about it. These videos are such a help at removing the unknown and giving me more understanding of the condition and more importantly, what I can do to control it. Just watching the video above has made it clear I have had this for quite some time but have other reasons given - mostly fibromyalgia!
Love the help.early stage4. Changing diet have hemochromatosis 32 years now. Age 71. You are doing so much to relieve stress of news from doctor. No alcohol but exposure to harsh chemicals. G-D BLESS YOU
Several people we knew were diagnosed with liver disease and only lived a short time after they were told the liver was bad. Thank you for your excellent videos. Hopefully we can reverse any damage we may already have and avoid killing our livers.
How long did it last ?
Doctors OTHER than Dr. Berg WON'T tell you these things. Good thing I started Green tea (January 2019) ,kicked out MOST fruit (except raspberries,blueberries & blackberries),pasta/whole grain HIGH CARB foods,HIGH sugar foods (high fructose corn syrup,donuts,most breads),which lead to me doing keto/IF for almost 1 year(May 01 2022. Start date.) and HIIT that started Sept 30 by accident (Oct 18 was REAL start date. Went 2 weeks AHEAD...). Trying to reach 190 lbs by May 01 of this year...
thank you doctor for such nice infoormation
I think we all think its not me, but watching this video it could be, a wake up call to everyone.
My brother never believed me, he is overweight and got sleep problem. He is eating fast food and does not like vegetable. I think good taste food , junk food is just like cocaine. When people enjoys junk food they won't be able to give it up.

I think you're open minded person, selfless, generously sharing your hard earned knowledge.
Dr. Berg thank you for all these very informative videos you make. I began battling diabetes in 07'. The one thing I tell beginners of fighting this disease is to get educated as quickly as possible. You do so well putting this in laymen's terms. THANK YOU
Drinking a 5th a day after 5 anyway. I pray I fix my problem. God Is good. I’m not yellow at all, I drink too much I pray for forgiveness and acceptance. Love

What are you drinking
🙏🏾 I pray you find peace. I was there before.
I am sober 6 years. You can do it. God saved me from myself. Reach out for help. Nothing comes easy & we have to do the work but God will heal you if you truly want it. God Bless you!
What I think? Accept Christ Jesus as your Savior, read your Bible every night before going to sleep. That will help to change your thinking, improve your spiritual health, and eventually you''ll drink less and less. An unclean spirit is causing your affliction, so pray for Jesus to end it. Never give up! Romans 10:9; John 3:16.
Apple cider vinegar has helped me so much! My lab work came out perfect!
how do you apply apple cider vinegar?
@@ebyong77 I have been doing 1 tablespoon with a full glass of water plus fresh lemon. And my blood work came back better
You explained it better than my internist - I am prediabetic due to my diet for years. As a nurse, I should have known better, but there is a saying that doctors and nurses make the worst patients, and it is true! Got up to fullblown type 2 about 1 1/2 years ago, then buckled down and got back to pre-diabetic stage within 6 months and have stayed there. It is a struggle, given the proliferation of processed and fast food in the US. Your videos have been a huge help to me..Thank you!

After almost 18 years of drug and alcohol addiction I got sober 4 years ago, I was told I have a fatty liver from the abuse, im trying to take better care of myself now, its a miracle I am still alive.
How much alcohol?? I just drink beer and no hard liquor. I'm 42 and been drinking beer since i was 21. I will stop drinking beer starting today.
Impressed as always. Gentle but hard hitting info that would hopefully inspire people to change their habits and dig deeper. You mentioned a virus could cause insulin resistance. Could you please expand on that?
Thank you and your wife for all the lives you change, one person at a time. Blessings!
My dad said all ur liver videos he has all symptoms so he will take notes.
Cider vinegar drinks more eggs 2-3 per day less tins more veg more spinach kale parsley brocoli liver kidneys grass fed meats if possible
Etc etc etc
Awesome videos Dr. Awesome!!!!
This is just so sad to hear about. The pain out there is just unfathomable.
What I think is that you have helped a massive amount of people to better, longer and more fulfilling lives. Me included. I listened and followed your advice, I know eat once a day and I only eat Keto foods. Bloods are all good, Obese to the best shape of my life. Thank you Doctor..
I think this man needs to be given recognition again for health helpfulness!
I wish Dr. Berg should get a Nobel prize. U r simply amazing Berg. Love u lots. Thanks for all ur videos...
@goku son yes u r right :) I love him more than myself :)
His work his more valuable than any prize. Best person in health care field.
people dont win Nobel prizes from RUclips videos.
You wish he should get an award....hmmm...i wish you should....hmmmm...ok..welcome to America with your funny grammar ...
@@mdelvalle2456 , nor do they receive Nobel prizes for telling people how to prevent disease! Big pharma and doctors enjoy profit.
Thank you for this and other videos you make for people suffering with liver disease and trying to get better, Dr. Berg. Too often they give up because people don't care or think we have no hope anyway. You are a good person.
I think not only this video is great but all your videos. We finally have a doctor that can explain medical related issues easy to understand.
Doctors like him saves normal people like me from paying hundreds of dollars in doctor's visits. Thank you for your work sir, may RUclips pay you handsomely.
Very informative, yet not too complex anyone couild understand this, well done! thanks for sharing.
probably saved my life with this knowledge thank you
Thank you, I need all you have on fighting Cirrhosis . I am fighting this liver decease. I have recently gotten my A1C numbers balanced and under control and am able to stay off diabetic meds. now going into several months . I’m working on the non alcoholic Cirrhosis through diet and exercise and feeling much better.
I like how you list symptoms and then explain the reasons for them.
This video is everything an informative video should be. It's straight to the point, very informative, gives you all the info you need without drawing it out with a lot of build up and useless, repetitious lead ins or talking about yourself or credentials. I don't want a story or presentation, just the facts. It was excellent.
I highly recommend your videos to my children and family/friends for important info on how to be healthier
in life !
Great video. I had some of these symptoms. I also had cystic acne that flared up along my jaw. I think my liver is improving because now my skin has healed, eyes are white again rather than yellow. I also have so much more energy! All because I went keto, and intermittently fast. Thank you for all your doing!!!! Channels like yours are helping so many people!!!
What kind of liver issues have you had?
This was amazing you covered in 20mins literally everything my lecturer taught with a ppt of about 100 slides.
Simple presentation yet precise and informative... pure information...no background music...awesome
Very useful and informative video - I had undiagnosed NAFLD for years. I also had those fatty 'spots' around the eyes. Neither the GP, nor the liver specialist, nor the dermatologist, ever made the connection - yet in a 5'25" RUclips video...
That's atrocious that none of the doctors you mention made the connection. How are you doing now?
I think you are performing a great service, the kind of service that most doctors don't have the time for. You are literally saving lives.
Thank you so much
Thank you. Glad to help you all!
Yes I agree. The doctor told me like maybe I would say the beginning of last year maybe I don’t remember correctly. She just said you have a fatty liver that’s all she said so I didn’t. I didn’t nothing of it so I ended up in the hospital. They didn’t know what it was the pain in my back and in my stomach again they did all kinds of tests. The only thing that came out was a fatty liver. Same thing my doctor has said, but they said all everything’s fine you just have a fatty liver again. They also didn’t tell me how serious this is so I just got online started googling stuff and found out it was serious so I made some appointments to my doctor in and I’m going to find a liver doctor to see what stage is my fatty liver. No one said you have a fatty liver you have to take care of it, so I don’t know how long I’ve had a fatty liver. I just went to the doctor because the pain in my back and my stomach was killing me, but these videos Dr. these are awesome. You explain it to the T thank you so much.
Thank you so much for what you’re doing. I appreciate it.
Thank you Dr. BERG! I too was able to reverse diabetes with diet. Then learned that I had a fatty liver and started undoing years of commercial food sources. Now organic vegetarian is my medicine. Thank you for your passion and great works.
Dear Dr Berg, Thank you for your video. No other Dr has ever explained it like you have. Never! I have been on Keto, intermittent fasting and daily exercise. I have lost 5.5 kgs in 5 months. I have another 5 kgs to go. The energy I now have is just incredible. God bless you 🙏
Seen this in my recommended section 2 years after it was uploaded. I've been experiencing some of these symptoms lately and I'm glad I've come across this. Now I have a baseline potential of what I may be experiencing and how I can deliver my issue to my GP. Very informative.
Thank you. I was diagnosed with T2D a little over a year ago. Immediately when a low-carb diet (approximately 20 Grams of carbs a day), following many of your recommendations Dr. Berg. Within 3 months my A1C was normal and has stayed normal since then. Cut the sugar out and everything starts to improve.
My doctor told you have stage 2 fibrosis loose weight, but never told me exactly like this video. Thank you!!!
Me too.. Any symptoms ? Now okey ?
Very informative and straightforward will see my doctor i am 75 and only have part of my pancreas
Thanks. Glad you find the video informative. Wishing you good health!
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for this invaluable information provided for us as always. Much is appreciated.
God bless.
Thank you Dr Berg, you helped us alot , because of you and Dr jason Fung I don’t use any type two diabetes medication , intermittent fasting and Keto Diet are the best approach for tackling this disease, i am resident of internal medicine still I wasn’t sure what to do , thanks anyway
Dr M D Aden - totally agree. IF + Keto + Sun + exercise + sleep + family fun - having a good day
I'm no doctor but have recently tried the Feldman protocol. Not conclusive. Until my next lipid panel shows, might yet show, that fewer lipids were manifest than my natural state. I must test again to establish my new baseline. This time without the Feldman protocol. My doctor's eye may pop!
Meanwhile, my weight, inches and A1C have dropped. The A1C: from 6.8 to 5.9! Great news!
My doctor says I have to acquire a CAC reading separate and independently from my healthcare package. I'm on my own there.
I fear your going to have a difficult career unless you go into private practice. Hospitals are not interested in sending patients home with instructions to heal themselves through healthy eating and good nutrition. Best of luck to you going forward.
Dennis, I don't know whether money is of concern to you, but if it is, shop around! Locally (I live in Tampa), I would have had to pay $250(!) for my CAC test, but my parents live in South Florida, and there I can get it done for $90. Congrats on your success!
Great information. I have been diagnosed with fatty liver disease and need all the information possible on my options to improve my situation. Thanks again for your to the point information
No problem, you are most welcome! There are many more videos on this channel you can watch. Hope you can find them!
I have type 1 diabetes and was just diagnosed with the beginning of fatty liver. I’m 50. This was very informative. Thank you.
Dr. Berg is my new Primary Care Physician 😉
Me too, except alcohol.
Best of luck my friend
I’m sober a month today
I wish you all the luck in the world
Dr. Eric Berg: *Enters the room*
Insulin Resistance: *sweats nervously*
I would watch that movie. The Insulin Resistance Army Vs The Berg Republic. We can call it: Carb Wars.
@@celark 😂😂😂😂
You are so funny !!!!😂😂😂
Are we doing stand up comedy here ?!!!!
Completely changed my life style excellent ,why has no one presented facts like this before ,thank you
This is so preventable. That's why this channel is so important
I appreciate your comment.
I'm prediabetic, probably due to too many carbs, and am really starting to get some symptoms. This video and all your videos are making me realize that I have to totally change my lifestyle. After years of yo-yo dieting, my metabolism has changed. So glad for your straightforward approach, and interesting vlogs.
You do a great job of simplifying complex health issues and communicating them succinctly in just enough time so that no one loses interest. In this one I would like to know about other liver issues, so maybe referred to other videos of yours. This is an important topic because I think we all become diabetic at some point after age 70 and I didn’t realize how much the sugar issue impacts the liver.
Thank you doctor. İf break down causes of insulin resistance it will be great.
Hello. Please see here: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=cause%20insulin%20resistance
I've been following faithfully via my mothers recomedation. I have for the first time committed to be alcohol free . I have many symptoms for many things and have decided to head them off before I wake up dead .thank you for the vids.
I live the simple explanation of the issues and that it all points to insulin resistance. Now I know where to attach the source of the problem...not just treat the symptoms. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.
My father and grandfather both died of NAFLD. My diet is probably ten times better. I don’t drink or eat fried food. No gluten, no dairy, and yet here I am with a fatty liver seen in a CT scan recently. Enzymes are still “normal “. No scars. I’m 68. I am not obese. I’ve started intermittent fasting, taking milk thistle in the a.m. and NAC in the evening. Will that reverse fatty liver alone or is genetics going to dictate?
That’s a good question my older brother and sister died of cirrhosis of the of the liver took care of my brother. I am 61 years old and I’m thinking of the same question that you just said, but let’s keep the faith let’s diet eat the right foods and exercise and like I said in my other post, I hate to do exercise, but I’m gonna try to see if I can reverse this fatty liver. God bless.
Three days sober and taking it one day at a time.
Excellent presentation with conciseness and clarity. It shows a depth of subject knowledge which is unambiguous and helpful to many who might be stressed or worried about their own health. Thank you.
Your an amazing Dr with the ability to explain so much. Thank you!!
Thank you. Appreciate your comment. Have a nice day!
Learning what is actually occurring int the liver is sobering. My fight with alcoholism is difficult but this is helpful.
🙏🏽
An excellent presentation! Right to the point! No fluff (or should I say “fat?”) 😊I subscribed to you!
Thanks for the video and thanks for not polluting the video with ads.
What if you have autoimmune attacking the liver Dr Berg, what best action plan? 🙏✨
Dr. Eric Berg is very clearly one of if not the best Doctors period. I have been an eager student of his wisdom for a while now. It’s simply the method of explanation that resonates with audiences that is very appealing and excellent. Dr. Berg thank you 🙏🏼. You have changed my already healthy lifestyle and set me on a path of healthy living. I’m very appreciative for everything.
Dr. Berg, your explanations are very scientific and to the point. Your advice shows us where to look, and what to do in an objective manner. Saves much suffering and even lives! Million thanks!
I wish you would include more things about not having a gallbladder and a fatty liver. Thank you
