Berberine played a key role in my battle against metabolic syndrome. I suffered from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. My HbA1c was 6.3 - I was pre-diabetic. I started walking three to five days per week - getting at least 10,000 steps. I eliminated ultra-processed food. I take 500 mg of berberine in the morning, then again in the evening. I also take 300 mg of milk thistle daily. I follow the Mediterranean diet with emphasis on fatty fish, cruciferous vegetables, low sugar berries, seeds (chia, flax) and healthy nuts (pecans, walnuts). I have lost more than 90 pounds and continue to make progress in my now two year journey. My HbA1c is 5.1 and all of my blood markers are in the optimal range. My doctor told me that my results exceeded the average performance of GLP-1 agonists and gastric surgeries. I’m glad I chose the approach using diet and lifestyle. I see reports of the awful side effects of Wegovy. I’m glad I chose this path. I am on the lookout for a study on the long-term risks of berberine.
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
We appreciate you watching! 😊❤🙏 If possible, we would appreciate a quick rating (hopefully good), as it makes a HUGE difference! g.page/r/CaxJ9b-O6o27EBM/review We are working hard every day to make better and more meaningful content! This is what keeps us going, for sure.
I've been taking Berberine (a version that is more absorbable) for 6 months or so ..... as an alternative to the seriously overpriced Ozempic. So far, it has done as well as the Ozempic for my fasting glucose ... without feeling constantly nauseated.
Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to trying this out in hopes it assists with weight loss. Are there any known complications involving people on blood pressure medication?
You should check your specific situation with your doctor. Medications for high blood pressure (like antihypertensive drugs) interact with BERBERINE. Berberine might lower blood pressure. Taking berberine along with medications that lower blood pressure might cause blood pressure to go too low. Monitor your blood pressure closely while taking berberine. Thanks for the great response! 😊❤🙏 If possible, we would appreciate a quick and easy rating from you, and a good rating makes a BIG difference for us! g.page/r/CaxJ9b-O6o27EBM/review Thanks again for watching! All the best to you!
Any meta study would have considered conflicts of interest, doctors studying medications for a particular company. It is also standard to report possible conflicts of interest in any research paper.
Thankyou doctor for your informational videos. What is a good brand of Berberine? I have been taking it for awhile now but have not seen any results in inflammation, blood sugar, weight loss or digestive issues! I don't have a gallbladder for many years now. I eat healthy mostly like Paleo and Keto style diet. I do not take any medication only natural remedies when needed. Also why my feet catch cramps everyday, it is very painful. I take magnesium glycinate but it does not help and high BP.
I found that it (Goldenseal root) disrupted and killed off some of my gut flora which made feel weak for a few days. If you take it I would plan on following up with some probiotics plus prebiotics to rebuild, would probably also be a good time to reset to a healthier diet if not already on one.
Wow that is an excellent tip, I will definitely take a look at that. One of the studies did acknowledge the gut flora as a benefit not a negative. Very interesting. 😊🙏❤
I have lost eleven pounds the past 3 months taking just one capsule after dinner of berberine. I did experience some diarrhea but I just added a milk thistle supplement and that was the solution.
Do you mind me asking is bmi say at 30% or higher ? I may incorporate this into my new health routine ! I sure hope to get better results then I am already feeling :) thank you .
I was going to say didn’t Ozempic cause issues with loosing muscle mass ! I may try berberine! As I am doing weights and cardio etc. Pilates with les mills . I am hoping it helps or I may ask my doctor about ozempic .
Does Berberine brake a fast if taken before bed? I take 2 when eating and then 1 at bedtime- I have had no stomach issues but am curious if it is braking my fast??
The idea of combining berberine with MCT oil for enhanced absorption is based on the principle that certain compounds are better absorbed in the presence of fats. Berberine is known to have relatively poor bioavailability, which means that it's not easily absorbed by the body when taken orally. Some studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that taking berberine with a fat source, like MCT oil, may improve its absorption. No strong evidence either way 😊❤🙏
6 weeks with 1000mg berberine a day, 500 mg twice a day and just dumped 8 pounds. Lowest body weight I have seen in decades. Had lost 12 pounds last year working out and using protein drinks to reduce hunger cravings, and now down another 8. Down 12 over last year, up 2 over winter, down 8 now with berberine. Still working out, less but much heavier weights as in more than 4 times what I started out doing. At first I thought maybe less water with summer here but nah, it would not be that much.
I’ve been taking berberine for almost a year. No changes in my a1c and cholesterol or weight loss!😮 No I’ve only taken it in the mid morning before my first meal but not a second on with my dinner. I’ll try that and see if I have a n improvement by my next exam.
I bet at 500mg its effect is marginal. Would maybe matter if you use berberine hydrochloride (HCl) instead of some powdered plant. I use the HCl and dumped 8 pounds in 6 weeks. At first I thought maybe it was from water loss with start of summer, but then it move from 6 to 8 pounds loss and nah, not that much from water, maybe 1 or 2 pounds.
My issue is i can’t take metformin due to intense stomach pain. I feel like crap on berberine. Still have dihyro berberine to try. I’m type 2 diabetic and need to do something to lower sugars since the drugs i’m on don’t work great. I would love to do more exercise but injured my knees so low impact stuff only. Previously HIIT workouts worked great to lower sugars since injuries my sugar keeps creeping up, diet only works so far. Need something but cant find the missing key.
So first you say to take it before meals, but right after that 4:55 it says Take it with meals or right after meals, not on an empty stomach. So which is it?
6 lbs loss is a big deal. I only need to lose 30 to 45. Lost 12 working out. Dumped 8 lbs more in 6 wks berberine. Gained back 2 over winter (creatine water retention?) so net down so far is 18 pounds. Good start. Don't forget, most sports supplement studies are on the cheap, 3 month studies, so yeah lost 6 pounds in 3 months and the studies stopped does not mean confuse that with 6 pounds loss is all you will see.
I just get a pound bag of organuc curry powder. Turmeric Cardamom Clove Cinnamon Cumin Cayenne etc. Put in a jar w/ hyssop, pau d'arco, neem, celery seed & black pepper. Swig some chased by delicious gunpowder green tea. Don't care what a buncha research would say on it, seems useful.
It doesn't appear that there is widespread literature documenting any reactions, but unfortunately that is the danger of herbal medications, no one can say for sure 🙏❤️😊, always be safe!
If you take vitamins and/or other natural substances you need to check with your doctor to see if they will interact with your medication, such as in your case. Often your doctor won't know since the average doctor only takes one class on food, natural substances, and how they affect our bodies. You would need to see a specialist who has specific training in.this area. My family doctor is also an integrative medicine specialist. She has this training. Good health to you. ,
There are different types for sure, I will have a deeper dive video on the supplement types and dihydroberberine out soon. Personally I don't take it, while it is helpful, the results are not overly major so if it's not going well, it might be worth skipping...
We need a 1 year berberine study, not cheapo 3 month studies. Again you confuse 3 months studies with all you can lose, which is not what the papers explored. 2 pounds a month is an average, excellent loss trajectory, as more you start to impact muscle mass. That could be 24 pounds a year. Yowza, that is what we want to see.

Some brands of berberine come with milk. Thistle included
I was going to say didn’t Ozempic cause issues with loosing muscle mass ! I may try berberine! As I am doing weights and cardio etc. Pilates with les mills . I am hoping it helps or I may ask my doctor about ozempic .
Is it safe for people with thyroid cancer

Wow that is so humbling, too kind 😊🙏❤️
Agreed! They're the only ones I trust!
Does Berberine brake a fast if taken before bed? I take 2 when eating and then 1 at bedtime- I have had no stomach issues but am curious if it is braking my fast??
It significantly reduces my cravings, so I don't see how it may break a fast.
Question for Dr. Tom…..Should I take Berberine with MCT Oil? It’s suppose to help absorption….thank you!
The idea of combining berberine with MCT oil for enhanced absorption is based on the principle that certain compounds are better absorbed in the presence of fats. Berberine is known to have relatively poor bioavailability, which means that it's not easily absorbed by the body when taken orally. Some studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that taking berberine with a fat source, like MCT oil, may improve its absorption. No strong evidence either way 😊❤🙏
Amazing question ! I may do this then , thank you 🙏🏼 ❤❤❤
It was a lab study that said berberine absorbed bellor better with I think caprylic acid
6 weeks with 1000mg berberine a day, 500 mg twice a day and just dumped 8 pounds. Lowest body weight I have seen in decades. Had lost 12 pounds last year working out and using protein drinks to reduce hunger cravings, and now down another 8. Down 12 over last year, up 2 over winter, down 8 now with berberine. Still working out, less but much heavier weights as in more than 4 times what I started out doing. At first I thought maybe less water with summer here but nah, it would not be that much.
I’ve been taking berberine for almost a year. No changes in my a1c and cholesterol or weight loss!😮
No I’ve only taken it in the mid morning before my first meal but not a second on with my dinner. I’ll try that and see if I have a n improvement by my next exam.
I bet at 500mg its effect is marginal. Would maybe matter if you use berberine hydrochloride (HCl) instead of some powdered plant. I use the HCl and dumped 8 pounds in 6 weeks. At first I thought maybe it was from water loss with start of summer, but then it move from 6 to 8 pounds loss and nah, not that much from water, maybe 1 or 2 pounds.
My issue is i can’t take metformin due to intense stomach pain.
I feel like crap on berberine. Still have dihyro berberine to try.
I’m type 2 diabetic and need to do something to lower sugars since the drugs i’m on don’t work great.
I would love to do more exercise but injured my knees so low impact stuff only. Previously HIIT workouts worked great to lower sugars since injuries my sugar keeps creeping up, diet only works so far.
Need something but cant find the missing key.
I use the berberine hydrochloride. Down 8 pounds in 6 weeks, zero bad effects.
Injured knees, upper body weight workout. More muscles in upper body anyway. Bench press, deltoid fly machine, pulley machines, dumbbells on bench.
So first you say to take it before meals, but right after that 4:55 it says Take it with meals or right after meals, not on an empty stomach. So which is it?
On a full stomach is what I presume right after a meal means.
6 lbs loss is a big deal. I only need to lose 30 to 45. Lost 12 working out. Dumped 8 lbs more in 6 wks berberine. Gained back 2 over winter (creatine water retention?) so net down so far is 18 pounds. Good start. Don't forget, most sports supplement studies are on the cheap, 3 month studies, so yeah lost 6 pounds in 3 months and the studies stopped does not mean confuse that with 6 pounds loss is all you will see.
I just get a pound bag of organuc curry powder. Turmeric Cardamom Clove Cinnamon Cumin Cayenne etc. Put in a jar w/ hyssop, pau d'arco, neem, celery seed & black pepper. Swig some chased by delicious gunpowder green tea. Don't care what a buncha research would say on it, seems useful.
Does Berberine interact with Zoloft the antidepressants??
It doesn't appear that there is widespread literature documenting any reactions, but unfortunately that is the danger of herbal medications, no one can say for sure 🙏❤️😊, always be safe!
Jose gave me such terrible gas and bloating. It was so painful. I had no choice but to come off of it and also it never actually took away my hunger
Did you say low ward testosterone?
Berberine has plenty of interaction with other medications, in my case all my medication, even my asthma pumps. Its not like ozempic at all.
For sure, it is not a perfect supplement and that is my conclusion at the end 😊🙏❤️
I wish you the best of health!
If you take vitamins and/or other natural substances you need to check with your doctor to see if they will interact with your medication, such as in your case. Often your doctor won't know since the average doctor only takes one class on food, natural substances, and how they affect our bodies. You would need to see a specialist who has specific training in.this area. My family doctor is also an integrative medicine specialist. She has this training. Good health to you.

@@sandraatkins2539 Dr's generally know about as much as the family dog when it comes to vitamins and nutrition
If you are hypoglycemic do not take without checking with your doc.
For sure don't take anything without checking with your doc, there are definitely interactions and side effects
💖❤️💖🙏❤️💖❤️
Got bloating when taken on empty stomach
A few hours after I take it, I feel like my blood sugar drops and kind of dizzy. Any suggestions?
Do a hand stand. Blood will rush to head.
There are different types for sure, I will have a deeper dive video on the supplement types and dihydroberberine out soon. Personally I don't take it, while it is helpful, the results are not overly major so if it's not going well, it might be worth skipping...
Take honey before taking berberine.
Doctor has way too much time on his hands now lol
Just waiting on the insurance 😅
What a silly system where doctor wants to see his patients and patients need to be seen, but beauracracy blocks the way 😁
This was a good video and I hope he does more.
We need a 1 year berberine study, not cheapo 3 month studies. Again you confuse 3 months studies with all you can lose, which is not what the papers explored. 2 pounds a month is an average, excellent loss trajectory, as more you start to impact muscle mass. That could be 24 pounds a year. Yowza, that is what we want to see.
