My doctor tried to kill me.Put me on 30 mg of crestor then waited to see how long it would take for me to be diabetic.I suffered debilitating back pain,inflammation in BOTH rotator cuffs,then NAFLD.Yes I was diagnosed with pre diabetes after 18 months,and sky high BP.When I enquired about taking milk thistle for rejuvenation of my liver,I was poopooed.I quit him,and researched EVERYTHING myself.1 year later my health is restored and I'm flourishing.70 YO female carnivore.I take Vit D3,K2,and magnesium.I would NEVER discuss supplements nor nutrition with a 'DR' agan,EVER.
Better than that.....why ever return to said Dr. ever again....??! 🤷 All prescription drugs are poisonous and harmful. Personally I'm not against antibiotics only on rare needed occasions. But I also personally would never take the whole course. I take maybe one half of one pill. They're too strong and can cripple us...or permanently shut kidneys down. Research....
Wow, it amazes me how horribly ludicrous most doctors are. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. It would be nice to find an intelligent doctor, but that is so hard to do. One of my worst experiences is when I was pregnant and asked about prenatal vitamins and was told the baby doesn't take anything from me. I could not believe what I was hearing. That was the only time I saw that doctor. Another was when a doctor told me I don't need vitamin K for my osteopenia. They are crazy.
Wow. So glad your ok. I was prescribed crestor too n I have many back issues (5 herniated disc's, 2 bulging disc's, and nerve issues). I noticed the crestor made my pain super bad (+I was on opiates). Once I stopped crestor my pain went way down n I didn't need opiates anymore.
Dr Berg notes 1. People often wonder what time of the day they should take their supplements. Taking your supplements in the morning can give you the energy you need for the day. Avoid taking electrolytes before bed and calcium supplements before eating. Some people benefit from vitamin D supplements in the morning, while some benefit from taking them before bed. 2. Avoid swallowing too many supplements at once! 3. Introduce supplements one at a time to learn what works and doesn’t for your particular health problem. 4. Supplements won’t work if you have a poor diet. Make sure to get enough protein and limit your carbs. 5. Cheap vitamins contain cheap ingredients. Many cheap supplements and daily vitamins contain calcium carbonate, the type of calcium found in cement. They also contain fillers and dyes! Synthetic vitamins, except niacin and benfotiamine, often have side effects and should be avoided. 6. Avoid taking supplements and drugs together at the same time for the same problem. 7. Certain vitamins work synergistically with others, so you have to take those particular supplements together. For example, if you’re taking high doses of vitamin D, you must also take adequate magnesium. Similarly, high doses of zinc over time can cause a copper deficiency. 8. Don’t take advice about supplements from people who don’t know the data. 9. Many people don’t take a high enough dosage of their supplements to see results. You often need to take more than the RDA to produce a therapeutic effect. 10. If you’re a vegan, you must take supplements to prevent deficiencies. Vitamin B12, vitamin D3, omega-3s, iron, zinc, iodine, and calcium are all vital for your health. 11. Use the correct dosage of your supplement to see results. Your paracrine/autocrine system needs about 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily! Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍
I loved that phrase: "there is a difference between learning and understanding, and memorizing. They are not the same thing" So true, I have always noticed there are people that can spend decades in their field and still remain incompetent because they are just there for the paycheck. Then there are those that are dedicated and passionate about what they do.
There is no better example of this than the ministry. Those guys can spout their denominational spin but don't ask them to teach the bible. That's not what they're paid for. "It is difficult to get a man to understand when his salary depends on his not understanding."
This is so true!! Several months ago I had to quit a dr bc I felt all she was doing was "memorizing the textbook." Where I live I find it extremely difficult to find a knowledgeable and outside the box dr. I have a new dr now and she is somewhat better, but still not what I'm looking for.
@@DrbergI ordered your B1 supplement on amazon after watching two of your videos on b1. I think you said take four times the recommended dose, is that the same for your supplement?
Just when I did not think I could appreciate Dr. Berg anymore I realizing that he is one of the very few medical professionals (especially in the media) who cares about US more than BIG PHARMA! He is not afraid to call it like it is when giving info on the pharmaceutical industry. THANKS Dr. Berg!
@@mrs.happydog584 most chiropractors currently have a functional medicine department in their clinic. They are far and away ahead of allopathic medicine in determining causes rather than just treating symptoms

I had restless leg syndrome for several weeks so I was not sleeping. I would have to get up and walk most of the night and it was miserable. I researched on the internet and found an article that advised it could be a vitamin B1 and B6 deficiency. I started taking both of these in the morning and afternoon. My restless leg symptoms totally disappeared by the 7th day. It has been months now and it has not returned. What a relief.
You’d be better off doing your own research with what you’re using. While doing so, you will learn a lot and tend to remember the info doing it yourself.
I make the bulk of my own supplements myself. I just bought a 00 capsule press that will press 100 capsules at one time. For my vitamin C, I use Acerola powder. I also press organic wild blueberry powder. I also use pure curcumin and add some black pepper extract. I do buy other supplements, and I buy doctor Bergs brand. I do this because I trust in his products, plus it's a way for me to support him and pay him back for his fantastic research
My husband took himself off his diabetic medication by controlling what he eats going for walks and fasting for 2-3 days once a month. His numbers have been great. I am in awe of his discipline he also writes down everything he eats and utilized Berberine,Psyllium and a few others supplements but mostly clean eating. Thank you Dr. for this valuable information.
@@peace8096 He eats meat,vegetables no corn and the only fruit is berries and apples which are good sources of fiber. He eats very little carbs but will have air fried potatoes once in a while and utilize low carb breads if necessary. He only uses vinegar and oil for his salads or eats them with lots of bell peppers, onions. If eating out he has them hold the sauce and will do big bowls of soups like chicken tortillas but hold the tortillas lol clear broth soups not creamy but orders extra veggies and meat. If he craves a sweet he will have a small bowl of whipped cream comes in a pack of three which has 1 fat, 1 carb , 1 sugar then he adds grated dark chocolate very high content but the whip makes it a decadent treat he switches it up sometimes with mandarin orange slices. He also eats lots of boiled eggs but often takes the yolk out and fills the hole with chopped onions, jalapeños and bell peppers. We meal prep the chopped veggies so they can be added to almost anything. These are just some examples. He only drinks water, green or black tea nothing added and zero sugar Body Armor once in a while.
So, I watched this video 1st thing this morning and found 2 mistakes I was making. 1) Don't drink electrolytes before bedtime which for the most part I haven't but have on occasion. I'll be making sure I don't do that again. 2) take all your vitamins early in the day... I've been taking my vitamins that don't require food in the morning, because I don't eat breakfast and all the rest with dinner. So, today I made sure to take them with my lunch and it is now 7:15 pm and I'm not wishing it was bedtime. Now, I will definitely be taking them much earlier in the day. Thank you for all your videos... you have helped me more times than I can count. You're definitely a life safer... literally.

I will be 68 in a few months and am not on any medication. My check ups and blood work has been good. I did have stage 1 breast cancer and am now almost 2 years clear. I have watched Dr Berg for many things when i felt the need to prevent or fix any normal senior problem. Hormone balance was a big thing for me since I had estrogen dominant breast cancer. He has helped be living a medication free life so far. I just wish insurance companies would cover the cost of vitamins as well.
If your in USA and have Medicare get a plan that gives you an OTC (over the counter) card. Some also have a giveback amount that you can use for anything. This does depend on what's available in your area. Make sure to shop around. I'm a Health insurance agent the plans changed a lot this year. Many ppl think they have the same plan but the majority changed.
When my doctor read the supplements I was taking from my chart she said " you know, those don't really do anything". That's one of those people giving advice without any data
allopathic paradigm... they are trained to revere the drug companies, are paid by them to promote thier poisons and taught that anything homeopathic is fake.
I'm going to be 60 years old in October and I am only on one medication an inhaler I don't even use that very often,, maybe a couple of times a month. right now, I believe in natural healing supplements food that will help my body not the doctor pushing their drugs on me
It’s a beautiful thing that we can access this. I had pain on my big toe after i jammed it. Thought I may have broken or fractured and went in for xray. All came back clear and Dr said it may be gout. I went home found one of these videos, it said to drink apple cider vinegar. Woke up the next day pain was 80% less. ACV has been on the menu on and off and no more foot pain. The amount of natural remedies and supplements out there to help us heal and aid our own body is such a blessing. Big pharma can’t just shove a pill down our throats anymore. Everyone is waking up.
Got all my family tested for vitamin D levels. I work outside a good bit,and walk the dog everyday,I thought I would be fine,my reading came back at 67 nmol/l...so I have started taking 4000ui a day,I will test in 4 months time and see where I'm at. My wife was 100 nmol/l...which surprised us. So it shows that everyone,s body is different,and require different amounts of vitamin D dosage.
Dr Berg hit the nail on the head , when he said memorizing isn't the same as learning and that is a huge issue with the school system , because they measure a person's knowledge by the testing but what they have done is making them remember so much and then forget half of what they learned 😮
Even though what you said is true, but the other way around is not true, ie , a good testing score does not always mean students memorize the knowledge. My daughter never memorize her math knowledge, she just knows where it comes from. If she forgot some formulae, she will derive it on the spot during test. Yes, her test score is always close to perfect.
You should write a book about vitamin supplements and combinations of interactions. It is very much needed. A list of vitamins and what they work for. Very useful for the average person

I seriously need a book or charts to reference supplements needed, how long to take, how much to take, when to take, what coupled supplement to take with it, and when to expect improvement. I’m so confused after I listen to the video and try to remember it all.
I guit taking blood pressure medication, it was causing me problems , ankles and feet swelling , found out I needed to take nitric oxide , twice a day . And staying out of stress , I eat healthy , and detox , on and on . Listen to what my body is telling me. There was and is still a lot of stress and trauma I have been dealing with . Enough said on all this anyway . Have to protect my liver , at all cost 1st stage of stage 4 cirrhosis. So doctors aren’t listening to me about my liver . So I have to be my own advocate in my health .

I'm going to be 60 years old in October and I'm on no medications,, I do have an inhaler I take during the summer occasionally, but other than that I'm drug free, I take my supplements every morning, and I try to consciously eat right😊
If you change your household products to more natural ones without harmful chemicals, you might be able to lose the inhaler. I've heard testimonies to that effect from those who shop from the wellness store that I shop from
@dnsgilbert09 It could be the humidity of the Summer that triggers her asthma. Also mold does too. She mentioned Summer. Same thing happens to me. You're not wrong though. But humidity is horrible for asthmatics
Dr Berg. Your videos are so informative. I have been following you from last 10 years and it made a huge difference in my health. Thank you so much. Many blessings.
U try telling or explaining this to your own doctor! He stares at you and asks "who is the doctor here?" Cant win!!....🤷♀️ so I now just use Dr Berg! 🏆
Your dr sounds like a bunghole! What an ashole thing to say to a customer. We aren't patients anymore. We are just cash cows to them. Just customers that shouldn't ever question anything the drs say. Even tho we may know something the dr doesn't know. You know your body more than anyone else. ❤
Have a younger female doc who is excited that a 71 yr old is not on any meds and doing great....she loves looking at my supplements and diet and even suggested a good additional supplement for keeping my BP down. There are a few good ones out there...keep looking and ask around. Magnesium glycinate and Epsom salts soaks fixed my nighttime jerky legs.

I'm not so sure about that about that. My wife has a hiatal hernia, which causes reflux. Betaine, which is one of the main ingredients in Dr. Bergs gallbladder formula makes her reflux worse. Also, she can't drink Apple Cedar Vinegar for the same reason.
Thank you, Dr. Berg! Here’s a real doctor here who is actually trying to heal people than dispensing drugs that make people sicker in other area instead.
Thank you for discussing calcium. I was taking with meals and it caused massive GERD. I Thought something was wrong with me. I kept googling and found nothing on calcium causing digestive issues. Now I KNOW!
I was taking magnesium glycinate at night like yourself..for sleep..however I found I was having brain fog in the morning for a little bit after waking up..someone said to switch to taking it at around 11 am..I did and I found I still sleep well and no brain fog..just thought I would mention this in case anyone else is experiencing this..

Great video! It's so true, in med school, people learn the info, pass the test, move on to the next subject, without really studying and understanding it. Studying and memorizing is different.
This year I was diagnosed with an extreme vitamin D deficiency to where it was almost non-existent. I was numb on the left half of my body, head to toe, which led me to get to the doctor. I can also tell you that it takes more than a day for your body to correct itself. I was back to normal in about 2 weeks and to this day still take vitamin d supplements and a little bit of magnesium.
I had a problem with low vit D. One time it was 17 on my blood work. I was taking a ton of vit D3 and also taking fish oil. A different Dr suggested sardines for a different problem. All my joints stopped hurting so fast I didn't even realize it was the sardines at first. Next blood work vit D was 130 (which is getting close to high). I stopped taking all oil and vit D supplements, and just kept eating sardines once a week. Vit D has been at 100 two years in a row. Those sardines changed my life. Don't buy the cheapest ones, and make sure they are in water, not oil. I pour off the juice for my pets and consume the fish. They don't stink and actually taste better than tuna.
@@z31beckI don't get it, you were talking it a ton of? Because you took too many in one day with high doses ? I consumed omega 3, but just one a day esp morning or evening
I feel like with most supplements, as you gradually increase the dosage, so do the symptoms of the deficiency improves. But then there's some that really feel like an "all or nothing" situation. Where if the dosage is too low, you may feel no difference at all. But if it's high enough, you can feel a drastic improvement. A big one for me was Vitamin E Tocotrienols. Very expensive in my opinion, I only took the recommended dosage for a year and barely felt a difference. But once I doubled the dosage, OMG the chest pains that I would get throughout the day are gone. Once you've had a heart attack, having any subtle to major chest pains throughout the day can be quite traumatizing and make you kinda paranoid. Tocotrienols may be quite expensive, but now that I've gotten the full experience/ improvements. I can definitely say that it's one of the few expensive supplements that is well worth it for me.
Dr. Barrie Tan has a great vitamin E (tocotrienols) supplement but, like you say, it is very expensive. The last time I purchased it, I spent about $100 for a 60-day supply. That was before the Inflation Reduction Plan (Bidenomics) kicked in so it's probably double that cost now. I can't do that stuff anymore.
@@GamersForTruth I don't take vitamin E b/c it thins my blood (I guess). I get nosebleeds- garlic does it to me as well, and I could take it when I was younger. Do the tocotrienals do that?
@@amm2472 The brand is Wellness Extract and it's around $30 for 60x 125mg softgels. They have a 300mg option for $60, for me to get really notice the difference I gotta take 2 of the 125mg or 1x 300mg.
Easy to suggest we check with our doctor... trouble is, most "regular" gp type docs have NO clue about natural approaches to staying healthy. Some don't even know how the immune system works! Medicine has become quite a puzzle for those of us who prefer not to stuff ourselves with drugs for symptoms only, not ever finding out root causes of the symptomatology. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your informative videos!
I take a lot whole plant or seed suppliments (ashwagandha, clove, marjoram, cayenne, fenugreek, rosemary, milk thistle and this year i collected my own nettle, peppermint, dandelion, goldenrod and made capsules) these are whole food supplements for me
"Memorizing Learning and Understanding" Well said. Ideally, this phrase should be on a warning sticker slapped on the brochure of every university in our country.
However, if you have a good memory and recall and are able to use that information to understand and do exceptionally well on non multiple choice exams, you are golden!
When I started taking vitamins, a friend of mine said that multivitamins are basically expensive piss. There are two different types: mineral-based and food-based. We want food based. She moved away, so I asked an employee at a Vitimen shop about mineral and food-based, and they needed clarification. Again, as always, thank you for your videos!
This is a truly eye-opening take on the common mistakes many of us make when it comes to taking supplements. I never realized how important timing and quality were, or the risks of mixing certain supplements with medications. The insight about synthetic vitamins, the right doses, and potential drug interactions is so helpful! It also makes me rethink how crucial vitamin D is for our health, especially in higher doses than we've been told. Thank you for shedding light on these critical points-definitely going to adjust my supplement routine!
Perfect timing and soooo helpful. I am on crestor and eat healthy but have cholesterol from genetics. I am also pre diabetes and think it is from this crestor. I also have noticed the numbness in hands and feet. I don’t want to be on anything. A video on alternative for cholesterol would be great. Love your videos.
Red rice yeast supplement and psyllium husk (fiber) every morning have lowered my cholesterol substantially. I have genetically high cholesterol, as well, and I am at a healthy weight, eat clean, and exercise five times a week.
@Dr.EricBerg I’m confused 🤔… I’ve followed you for several years & you used to recommend Vitamin K with D3, but now you recommend Magnesium instead? Or should I still take K2? Grateful for an answer - Thank you 🙏🏼
Oh my, Dr Berg, I humbly Thank You for the great information in this video. I realized I was guilty of some of the things you talked about. May God Bless You.
I take , Vitamin D, Magnesium for sleep, Black seed oil,Milk thistle, a prostate capsule, Selenium and Colostrum nightly . All one capsule, except for the Vitamin D,they are small,so i take 4 every 2 days.
Dr. Berg, thank you again for another great video. You're easy to listen to and you're spot on in so many of your observations. I'm 62, very fit and active every single day. I was taking supplements regularly for years and then I fell off the wagon. Mainly because I was so healthy, I forgot to maintain. About a month ago I attended a multi-day event which involved some stress, alcohol, and travel. When I returned home I was drained and tired for several days. That was unusual for me, but I ignored it and resumed my regular active life. Big mistake, I came down with shingles! Then I binged a few Dr. Berg vids and got on a regimen of L-Lysine, D3+K2, B12, C. Combo'd with oat and epsom baths, and staying home with a good book... the shingles thankfully never really "blossomed". I'm 95% recovered but still forcing myself to keep resting until I'm 100%. I definitely will stay on the wagon with the supplements this time.
2:20 what you were describing with the supps getting stuck in your esophagus, describes this issue i've had for a couple of years that devolves into the chest pains you describe. a swallow of water, sometimes, is enough to start this ordeal....usual doesn't get that bad, but it has. it feels like my esophagusic muscles aren't coordinating like its supposed to? wonder what is going on.......usually passes in about a minute or two
You missed an important caveat to adding probiotics when on antibiotics. Antibiotics will counter out the effects of probiotics if you take them at the same time. People you need to take them at least two hours apart from each other. I was pleasantly surprised when the pharmacist told me that (which I already knew).
@@antares5683the last time I had to take antibiotics, I took probiotics during the antibiotics course and also after. Now I actually take probiotics pretty much with every meal, not in the form of capsules but with natural foods
Dr. Berg you are a Super Hero in the Health World... I have been following your advice for years and at 74 years old, all my Bio Markers keep getting younger and younger... THANK YOU !!
i worked out while fasting during the mornings because i worked 2nd shift 20 yrs.and ate when i got in at 3pm then walked 4-5 miles a day on the job. when i eat i don't want to do anything so it's perfect to walk it of. nible at 8pm bed at midnight
Same here! Don’t eat until two in the afternoon and it’s just a little bowl of black beans then pretty much a little bit later. Exercise a lot and still somehow have extra weight. Doesn’t make sense.
After reading the book by Jeff Bowles I began to experiment with my Vit D3 intake. I saw some real benefits when I got up to 70k units daily, w/K2, of course. I sent the book to my 89 year old mother and she increased her own intake and commented how good she feels lately, she even started to bake again, she has so much energy... and she's only up to 20k units! Vit D is a key player in so many things, I'm convinced of it!!
And I only take 5000 IU’s and thought that was a lot. But I’ve felt like I need more as my energy level has not been good. I think I will experiment with a little more
Hi I just started Natures Bounty D3 (5000ui) my Rheumatologist said she takes this 5 days a week. I also take 3mgs of Folic Acid daily due to a medication I take. Do you have any recommendations for other vitamins to add or any certain brands? Thank you in advance.
Yes K2 is crucial, but it's not that simple, as it needs to be in the trans form and not the cis form. Some manufacturers are mute about this, and worse, in studies that have tested a variety of suppliers, the amount of trans k2 can be woefully low. A 2016 study even reported that a third of K2 only products they tested contained no K2 at all. I couldn't find a reference now, but I'm pretty sure that K2 trans, such as found in natto, can turn in the inactive cis isomer during processing, and so companies claiming that their K2 is guaranteed to be 100% trans form because it's derived from natto could be false unless they test what they're actually putting in the bottles. So along with taking K2, I think it's important to get calcium levels checked to make sure they're not going up due to K2 not working or being at an incorrect dosage.
@@jamiemcmahon9638 Like Dr Berg said in this video, Vit D3 needs to be taken every day. And since I don't know you or your medical history, I'd never make any recommendations for you. I can suggest searching Dr Berg's channel for medical issues that concern you for any kinds of supplements that he suggests. That's what I've been doing and I've never felt better. Best of luck to you!
My question is what supplements i do I need? How do I know I need them? Every doctor I have spoke to, cannot give me a direct and knowledgeable answer. Very frustrating. Thank you for sharing this information too.:)
DR. BERG!!!!!! I literally ordered like 8 supplements (including your d3 and k2 lol) to take lol and they got here YESTERDAY and you just made this video. I swearrrrrrrrrrrrr the timing of your videos and my life is crazy lol.
I was taking the d3 and k2 supplement and when my doctor did my annual blood test, the vitamin d level was almost toxic. I had to stop taking that supplement before it did any damage.
@@brendas1346doctors standards a very low …vitamin D is determined by …Age …race …weight ……your range should be 80-100 ..so if your vitamin D is over 100 is toxic….below not toxic
Dr. Berg, have you changed your mind about taking K2 with the D3? You didn't mention that with the D3. I have been taking Magnesium Glycinate since the first visit with my holistic doctor. But frankly, you are the one that has saved my life and showed me how to eat my way out of Diabetes 2 and explained to me a great many things that doctors don't do.
We are a family of nurses but my mom is not. I told her to stop listening to her doctor pushing to lower her cholesterol and putting her on statin. She did anyway, after doubling her dose, my mom almost died. She developed muscle pain and muscle loss in two weeks! She ended up in the ER and also showed signs of dementia as I am sure her brain mostly made up of fat, is greatly affected. This took 2 months to resolve even after stopping one week of double dose statin. She is so scared of taking statin now and is back to normal. We thought she would be chairbound and just deteriorating mentally and physically.
That seems like it should be considered malpractice. I certainly hope her doctor was made aware of the harm they caused! How many other patients’ lives have been impacted by this same push of high dose pharmaceuticals? Crazy. I’m so glad your mom is okay!
When it comes to potassium, since it's kind of hard to get enough from the diet and even supplements (outside of electrolyte powders which often have some fillers and other ingredients you don't want), recently I added potassium chloride (salt) to the himalayan salt I was using mainly just to get more potassium out of the diet and I feel better. It has also some sodium chloride + potassium iodide (very small percentages, under 1%), but the main is potassium chloride and now I use the himalayan just as a finishing salt. Obviously, not every meal needs salt and you should be careful with it, but I think that is some unexpensive and safe way to increase your potassium intake. When it comes to supplements overall, right now I only take omega 3 or cod liver oil (I switch them up, I use Rosita Cod Liver Oil), vitamin d3 + k2 (Viridian) and magnesium bisglycinate (Viridian). Viridian is a good brand, I think, though It is somewhat expensive, because their dosage is usually lower (and I just take 2-3 capsules of vitimain d3 rather than 1), but if I trust the ingredients list, they don't have any crap in it. There are some other obscure brands that seem to have quality supplements, but you need to make your own research, because too many brands use magnesium stearate, sillicon dioxide and other caking agents, fillers and crap that you need to avoid..
@@stanleyyu2079 Of course, that is a good suggestion and I meant it in the umbrella term "crap" :D Besides, Vitamin C is fairly easy to get from whole foods, so better to consume it from peppers, a bit of lemons, leafy greens, grapefruits occasionally etc. Or if it's from supplements, try to find some better ones like from camu camu fruit, acerola or rose hips, or anything similar.
Dr. Berg, you've convinced me to quit drinking all high caffeine sports drinks with sugar ,MCT oil etc. The brand that I used had 300 mg of caffeine in each. I didn't realize how extremely dangerous they are especially for people like me with coronary plaque and I am 61. I've been feeling sick over the weekend because I have a painful Inguinal hernia and I haven't eaten since Friday because the extra weight in my intestines seems to make it more difficult to go down. So, I have fasted since Friday minus electrolytes and water. Not even drinking coffee. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for the post about the sugary highly caffeinated drinks. I never would have dreamed that a coke was healthier then a 300 mg sugary caffeinated drink. which is what I had sometimes 3 x a day....playing with fire like that for sure..should be common sense huh? Have a great morning.everyone.
An energy drink was never really a sports drink. Sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade don't have caffeine, but are also horrible for the body. Congrats for getting off energy drinks 🎉
Just drink water and lemon ….or buy a juicy and blend beets and carrots …celery ..or make a smoothie of spinach and blueberries …that all you need ..don’t not blend fruits ..use lemon as a sweetener ….your body will be grateful ..start with BEET and Carrot and cucumber juice
Start ..fish oil..or krill oil ….please buy natural not synthetic vitamins …google natural vitamins and always…read the back of the bottle ….if you cannot pronounce the name put it back on the self ….Walmart has very many synthetic vitamins ..and shoppers drug mart ( that for people who live in Canada) and Walgreens
I haven’t seen a video of yours that mentions gastric bypass (weight loss) patients problems. No one tells you that you have to take several supplements in certain forms multiple times a day. It was 10 years I went to specialists: hematologist for iron IV infusions, vitamin D treatments, gastroenterologist for various treatments, and others.). Praise God I found a wonderful Dietitian who put me on a correct course and she changed my life. You really need to log your food and set strict fat limits and various other routines that can easily be incorporated into your daily life. I STRONGLY encourage gastric bypass surgery patients to seek the advice of a great dietitian. They will change your life forever 😊❤
P.S. when you get the Roux-En-Y they staple your stomach to be smaller but in doing so, your digestive system bypasses where nutrients would normally be absorbed. Very bad.
K is not to be taken with D3. It's K2 which should be taken with D3. K & K2 are totally different. K is for clotting factor. Many get these confused (even on internet medical posts).

Some years ago, I felt bothered by the fact that I was very thirsty when I woke up. Where I live, Sweden, the air is dry and it sucks you dry when you sleep. So I started to drink half a liter of water before I went to bed. For a week to ten days, I had to pee in the middle of the night but then my body adjusted and I slept all night long. I have noticed that if I don’t fall asleep, I do have to pee. Sometimes I drink an entire liter. Unrelated to vitamin but it’s really nice to be properly hydrated while sleeping.
Also probably you sleep with your mouth open. And then you only need to take one mouthful of water and swish it around your mouth for a bit. Don’t drink too much before bed
Super!😊 What time do you eat breakfast and lunch? AND IF? Also, do you have a video on how much of vitamins we need each day? Mag, calcium, D’s, B?? Thanks!
I use Rainbow Light or Jarrow Formula. A third would be Solgar. These aren't cheap but they are good and they are effective. The Rainbow Light is food based and is my multi vitamin. I also eat a quality diet. You are what you eat!!!

Actually did have a family member die from choking on supplements. My dad’s cousin, who wasn’t in very good health, induced a heart attack while choking. I do take a lot of supplements and have trialed a lot to try and help my tinnitus, but if I want to try something new, I try to introduce it as a single ingredient, not something like ‘tinnitus relief - that will have 5 different things in it.
I'm curious to know & am humbly asking if you found anything that helped or healed /helped with the tinnitus, or at least improved the symptoms? I have days when it's better, but not sure if it's due to a specific supplement or dietary choice. I am experimenting with Saturated beef fat (Suet to be exact) that I fry & eat with beef & water. I eat mostly ruminant animal meats at the moment due to digestive issues that were really bad months ago, & getting better thanks to help from pple like Dr Berg. Getting my stomach acid levels up to help break down food, as well as getting my gall bladder restored to something closer to proper % function has been a journey that's not easy, but well worth the troubles. I hope you found relief in Tinnitus, & I hope to as well 1 day. Regards,
@@here_for_the no, not really. I know what makes it worse, high glutamate (msg), alcohol and illness, but not much to make it better. For me, I think it is part of years of migraines, so I have focused on nutrients that researchers have found help for traumatic brain injuries. I was just listening to one of Andrew Huberman's podcasts and the scientist he was interviewing was talking about TBI's and I will continue to try things that have been shown to heal the brain. Like now I am going to up my Cod Liver Oil. The scientist on huberman was talking about 3-5 grams per day to heal the brain, but I take at most just one gram, if I remember to take it at all. I have had tinnitus for 13 years though, so I dont hold out much hope. I mainly work on just having good sleep habits, because that is the part that really drives me nuts, the impact it has on my sleep. And your brain wont heal without good sleep.
Dr Berg, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I realize that I'm taking the right supplements but doing it TOO QUICKLY. I'm easing in to it and doing so much better....whew! What a relief...you're awesome!
I love how honest this is! That's why I listen to Dr Berg for almost 4yrs now. I also make myself a human guinea pig. I listen to what I feel and what my body tells me, and of course, I do intensive research and take notes, comparisons etc etc We know our capacity more than anyone else.
Once again i learned a lot from this Genius. My Supplementations are Zinc, Omega 3, Vitamin D3 7000 iU in the Morning and Magnesium in the Evening. The Last 3 Weeks im testing Shilajit in Combination with Ashwagandha. Dont know if its a Placebo Effect, but i feel more energy since the last Week. Maybe Dr.Berg could give his Opinions in another Video about not so known Supplements. Have a nice and healthy Day👋😉
If you are taking zinc, please also make sure you are getting enough copper. The two minerals work to keep each other in balance. Shalajit should have copper but maybe not enough. Ashwagandha worked well for me to help balance my hormones.

A couple months ago I went off all my supplements just to see what was what. I discovered that the Turmeric, that I was taking to alleviate inflammation actually caused me to have painful joints, especially in areas of my body that had previous injuries. The exact opposite of what I was trying to accomplish!
My doctor tried to kill me.Put me on 30 mg of crestor then waited to see how long it would take for me to be diabetic.I suffered debilitating back pain,inflammation in BOTH rotator cuffs,then NAFLD.Yes I was diagnosed with pre diabetes after 18 months,and sky high BP.When I enquired about taking milk thistle for rejuvenation of my liver,I was poopooed.I quit him,and researched EVERYTHING myself.1 year later my health is restored and I'm flourishing.70 YO female carnivore.I take Vit D3,K2,and magnesium.I would NEVER discuss supplements nor nutrition with a 'DR' agan,EVER.
Salute to the Real. You are an overcomer. Never give up, never quit. If you fall, well get the hell back up then!!!!
Better than that.....why ever return to said Dr. ever again....??! 🤷
All prescription drugs are poisonous and harmful.
Personally I'm not against antibiotics only on rare needed occasions. But I also personally would never take the whole course. I take maybe one half of one pill.

AWESOME!!!! Carnivore is the best ketogenic approach!!
Wow, it amazes me how horribly ludicrous most doctors are. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. It would be nice to find an intelligent doctor, but that is so hard to do.
One of my worst experiences is when I was pregnant and asked about prenatal vitamins and was told the baby doesn't take anything from me. I could not believe what I was hearing. That was the only time I saw that doctor. Another was when a doctor told me I don't need vitamin K for my osteopenia. They are crazy.
Wow. So glad your ok. I was prescribed crestor too n I have many back issues (5 herniated disc's, 2 bulging disc's, and nerve issues). I noticed the crestor made my pain super bad (+I was on opiates). Once I stopped crestor my pain went way down n I didn't need opiates anymore.
Dr Berg notes
1. People often wonder what time of the day they should take their supplements. Taking your supplements in the morning can give you the energy you need for the day. Avoid taking electrolytes before bed and calcium supplements before eating. Some people benefit from vitamin D supplements in the morning, while some benefit from taking them before bed.
2. Avoid swallowing too many supplements at once!
3. Introduce supplements one at a time to learn what works and doesn’t for your particular health problem.
4. Supplements won’t work if you have a poor diet. Make sure to get enough protein and limit your carbs.
5. Cheap vitamins contain cheap ingredients. Many cheap supplements and daily vitamins contain calcium carbonate, the type of calcium found in cement. They also contain fillers and dyes! Synthetic vitamins, except niacin and benfotiamine, often have side effects and should be avoided.
6. Avoid taking supplements and drugs together at the same time for the same problem.
7. Certain vitamins work synergistically with others, so you have to take those particular supplements together. For example, if you’re taking high doses of vitamin D, you must also take adequate magnesium. Similarly, high doses of zinc over time can cause a copper deficiency.
8. Don’t take advice about supplements from people who don’t know the data.
9. Many people don’t take a high enough dosage of their supplements to see results. You often need to take more than the RDA to produce a therapeutic effect.
10. If you’re a vegan, you must take supplements to prevent deficiencies. Vitamin B12, vitamin D3, omega-3s, iron, zinc, iodine, and calcium are all vital for your health.
11. Use the correct dosage of your supplement to see results. Your paracrine/autocrine system needs about 10,000 IU of vitamin D daily!
Thank you Dr Berg!

thank you fidel
Thank you Doc, I am following up with your informative videos ❤
Much appreciated!
Thank YOU
Thank you 😊
I loved that phrase: "there is a difference between learning and understanding, and memorizing. They are not the same thing" So true, I have always noticed there are people that can spend decades in their field and still remain incompetent because they are just there for the paycheck. Then there are those that are dedicated and passionate about what they do.
There is no better example of this than the ministry. Those guys can spout their denominational spin but don't ask them to teach the bible. That's not what they're paid for. "It is difficult to get a man to understand when his salary depends on his not understanding."
This is so true!! Several months ago I had to quit a dr bc I felt all she was doing was "memorizing the textbook." Where I live I find it extremely difficult to find a knowledgeable and outside the box dr. I have a new dr now and she is somewhat better, but still not what I'm looking for.
Well said 👍
AND, even after you understand and learn, you still need CURIOSITY to be any good at helping to solve a problem.
More than just a paycheck. Some are in it for the prestige it offers. And don't forget, a lot of physicians graduated at the bottom of their class.
Dr. Berg should be the one running the world health organization to save us all! Thank you Dr. Berg!
Very glad to be of help.
I agree!
So much politics. Blah. Maybe just talk to RFK Jr.

Just when I did not think I could appreciate Dr. Berg anymore I realizing that he is one of the very few medical professionals (especially in the media) who cares about US more than BIG PHARMA! He is not afraid to call it like it is when giving info on the pharmaceutical industry. THANKS Dr. Berg!
He is a chiropractic physician . The AMA excludes Chiropractors often. Chiropractors can heal that’s why they are against them. Dr.Berg is a gem.

I had restless leg syndrome for several weeks so I was not sleeping. I would have to get up and walk most of the night and it was miserable. I researched on the internet and found an article that advised it could be a vitamin B1 and B6 deficiency. I started taking both of these in the morning and afternoon. My restless leg symptoms totally disappeared by the 7th day. It has been months now and it has not returned. What a relief.

Dr. Berg, would you please put together a video just for vitamins: what vitamins to take together and what vitamins not to. Thank you.

I make the bulk of my own supplements myself. I just bought a 00 capsule press that will press 100 capsules at one time. For my vitamin C, I use Acerola powder. I also press organic wild blueberry powder. I also use pure curcumin and add some black pepper extract. I do buy other supplements, and I buy doctor Bergs brand.

My husband took himself off his diabetic medication by controlling what he eats going for walks and fasting for 2-3 days once a month. His numbers have been great. I am in awe of his discipline he also writes down everything he eats and utilized Berberine,Psyllium and a few others supplements but mostly clean eating. Thank you Dr. for this valuable information.
What does he eat?
Also, can you tell me the names of the supplements that he uses?
@@peace8096 He eats meat,vegetables no corn and the only fruit is berries and apples which are good sources of fiber. He eats very little carbs but will have air fried potatoes once in a while and utilize low carb breads if necessary. He only uses vinegar and oil for his salads or eats them with lots of bell peppers, onions. If eating out he has them hold the sauce and will do big bowls of soups like chicken tortillas but hold the tortillas lol clear broth soups not creamy but orders extra veggies and meat. If he craves a sweet he will have a small bowl of whipped cream comes in a pack of three which has 1 fat, 1 carb , 1 sugar then he adds grated dark chocolate very high content but the whip makes it a decadent treat he switches it up sometimes with mandarin orange slices. He also eats lots of boiled eggs but often takes the yolk out and fills the hole with chopped onions, jalapeños and bell peppers. We meal prep the chopped veggies so they can be added to almost anything. These are just some examples. He only drinks water, green or black tea nothing added and zero sugar Body Armor once in a while.
@@peace8096 The other supplements are Inositol and Chromium for his blood sugar and he takes Magnesium and a Vitamin D and Vitamin A.
@@viviansnyder8247How kind of you to give such a detailed answer!!! Thank you!❤
So, I watched this video 1st thing this morning and found 2 mistakes I was making. 1) Don't drink electrolytes before bedtime which for the most part I haven't but have on occasion. I'll be making sure I don't do that again. 2) take all your vitamins early in the day... I've been taking my vitamins that don't require food in the morning, because I don't eat breakfast and all the rest with dinner. So, today I made sure to take them with my lunch and it is now 7:15 pm and I'm not wishing it was bedtime. Now, I will definitely be taking them much earlier in the day. Thank you for all your videos... you have helped me more times than I can count. You're definitely a life safer... literally.
What is the ratio of magnesium to vitamin D?
@@maltacs22 I don't know about any ratios, but I know men are supposed to take at least 400 mg of magnesium glycinate and 20,000 IU's of D3 w/K2.
See the "Your Supplements are a Lie" video at the Johnny Harris youtube channel.
@@maltacs22
D3 từ 2000-3000 IU, nếu bạn uống D quá nhiều sẽ tạo ra nhiều canxi và huyết áp tăng cao dẫn đến co giật và có thể tử vong.
- Có những loại vitamin không nên uống quá liều. Trừ B12 uống nhiều không sao vì nó sẽ thải ra ngoài bằng đường tiểu. B12 nên uống khi bụng đói, còn D thì uống lúc nào cũng được vì nó hòa tan trong dầu.

I will be 68 in a few months and am not on any medication. My check ups and blood work has been good. I did have stage 1 breast cancer and am now almost 2 years clear. I have watched Dr Berg for many things when i felt the need to prevent or fix any normal senior problem. Hormone balance was a big thing for me since I had estrogen dominant breast cancer. He has helped be living a medication free life so far. I just wish insurance companies would cover the cost of vitamins as well.
Well done! How did you cure your cancer? Was it only with supplements or did you have the usual cancer treatments ie, surgery, chemo etc as well?
Wow, we have similar things in our lives.
If your in USA and have Medicare get a plan that gives you an OTC (over the counter) card. Some also have a giveback amount that you can use for anything. This does depend on what's available in your area. Make sure to shop around. I'm a Health insurance agent the plans changed a lot this year. Many ppl think they have the same plan but the majority changed.
Hot damn!!! I just discovered you, Dr. Berg and I feel like I just hit the lottery. You speak my language
Dr Berg has done sone great videos but this might be his best. What a legend. What a gift.
He is really good!
When my doctor read the supplements I was taking from my chart she said " you know, those don't really do anything". That's one of those people giving advice without any data
I hope you fired this physician

It’s a beautiful thing that we can access this. I had pain on my big toe after i jammed it. Thought I may have broken or fractured and went in for xray. All came back clear and Dr said it may be gout. I went home found one of these videos, it said to drink apple cider vinegar. Woke up the next day pain was 80% less. ACV has been on the menu on and off and no more foot pain. The amount of natural remedies and supplements out there to help us heal and aid our own body is such a blessing. Big pharma can’t just shove a pill down our throats anymore. Everyone is waking up.
Got all my family tested for vitamin D levels. I work outside a good bit,and walk the dog everyday,I thought I would be fine,my reading came back at 67 nmol/l...so I have started taking 4000ui a day,I will test in 4 months time and see where I'm at. My wife was 100 nmol/l...which surprised us. So it shows that everyone,s body is different,and require different amounts of vitamin D dosage.
Dr Berg hit the nail on the head , when he said memorizing isn't the same as learning and that is a huge issue with the school system , because they measure a person's knowledge by the testing but what they have done is making them remember so much and then forget half of what they learned 😮
yeah, i’ve always pointed this out to people.
Learning at the lowest level is memorization.Comprehension is understanding and relation knowledge to application is putting the new learning to use.
Even though what you said is true, but the other way around is not true, ie , a good testing score does not always mean students memorize the knowledge. My daughter never memorize her math knowledge, she just knows where it comes from. If she forgot some formulae, she will derive it on the spot during test. Yes, her test score is always close to perfect.
You should write a book about vitamin supplements and combinations of interactions. It is very much needed. A list of vitamins and what they work for. Very useful for the average person

Just wanted to tell you how much we appreciate your teaching. God bless you. I'm a 64 year old male. I have a hiatal hernia and have been in much pain at times. Just started taking your Gallbladder Formula extra strength for 3 days now. I was pounding down Tums till I saw your video. Keep up the beautiful service you provide.

@@Drberg I never knew that you have to take Magnesium with D3 ! I was left with the impression that D3+K2 was the way to take it correctly ?
@@thesteammachine1282 I take his D3+K2 and his Magnesium. Also his Multi-Vitamin.
I'm not so sure about that about that. My wife has a hiatal hernia, which causes reflux. Betaine, which is one of the main ingredients in Dr. Bergs gallbladder formula makes her reflux worse.
Also, she can't drink Apple Cedar Vinegar for the same reason.

My husband switch off of Metformin to Berberine for a year. His Dr was telling him you're doing great. Metformin seems to be working well for you. He then told his Dr he hadn't taken it in a yr.

He probably made a mistake. It happens to Dr Berg too 😂
Your advice is truly appreciated!!! ❤❤❤❤
I strongly support you, Dr. Eric Berg. You are a good guy. There are many people who talk down about you and tarnish your reputation, but you have earned my respect many times over. You also have a great sense of humor bringing just the right amount into your videos. 😄 Bless you! 🙏😇😁
Why would you tell him people talk down on him, talk about a back hand compliment 🙄
That's what happens when you tell the truth.
Great video! It's so true, in med school, people learn the info, pass the test, move on to the next subject, without really studying and understanding it. Studying and memorizing is different.
This year I was diagnosed with an extreme vitamin D deficiency to where it was almost non-existent. I was numb on the left half of my body, head to toe, which led me to get to the doctor. I can also tell you that it takes more than a day for your body to correct itself. I was back to normal in about 2 weeks and to this day still take vitamin d supplements and a little bit of magnesium.
I had a problem with low vit D. One time it was 17 on my blood work. I was taking a ton of vit D3 and also taking fish oil. A different Dr suggested sardines for a different problem. All my joints stopped hurting so fast I didn't even realize it was the sardines at first. Next blood work vit D was 130 (which is getting close to high). I stopped taking all oil and vit D supplements, and just kept eating sardines once a week. Vit D has been at 100 two years in a row. Those sardines changed my life. Don't buy the cheapest ones, and make sure they are in water, not oil. I pour off the juice for my pets and consume the fish. They don't stink and actually taste better than tuna.
@@z31beckI don't get it, you were talking it a ton of? Because you took too many in one day with high doses ? I consumed omega 3, but just one a day esp morning or evening
What brand of saltine did you get please @z31beck
I feel like with most supplements, as you gradually increase the dosage, so do the symptoms of the deficiency improves.
But then there's some that really feel like an "all or nothing" situation. Where if the dosage is too low, you may feel no difference at all. But if it's high enough, you can feel a drastic improvement.
A big one for me was Vitamin E Tocotrienols. Very expensive in my opinion, I only took the recommended dosage for a year and barely felt a difference. But once I doubled the dosage, OMG the chest pains that I would get throughout the day are gone. Once you've had a heart attack, having any subtle to major chest pains throughout the day can be quite traumatizing and make you kinda paranoid. Tocotrienols may be quite expensive, but now that I've gotten the full experience/ improvements. I can definitely say that it's one of the few expensive supplements that is well worth it for me.
Dr. Barrie Tan has a great vitamin E (tocotrienols) supplement but, like you say, it is very expensive. The last time I purchased it, I spent about $100 for a 60-day supply. That was before the Inflation Reduction Plan (Bidenomics) kicked in so it's probably double that cost now. I can't do that stuff anymore.
@@GamersForTruth I don't take vitamin E b/c it thins my blood (I guess). I get nosebleeds- garlic does it to me as well, and I could take it when I was younger. Do the tocotrienals do that?
What supplement brand do you take? Is it good for anything else? Thanks!
What brand you take and how much dose you take
@@amm2472 The brand is Wellness Extract and it's around $30 for 60x 125mg softgels. They have a 300mg option for $60, for me to get really notice the difference I gotta take 2 of the 125mg or 1x 300mg.
Easy to suggest we check with our doctor... trouble is, most "regular" gp type docs have NO clue about natural approaches to staying healthy. Some don't even know how the immune system works! Medicine has become quite a puzzle for those of us who prefer not to stuff ourselves with drugs for symptoms only, not ever finding out root causes of the symptomatology. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your informative videos!
And that is why I don’t go to western medicine doctors.

"Memorizing Learning and Understanding" Well said. Ideally, this phrase should be on a warning sticker slapped on the brochure of every university in our country.
😂yes!

Nevermind some doctors practices.
Great video! Can you make a video on all the vitamins and minerals we should be consuming daily and their RDAs ?
He made at least 2 videos to answer this. Actually more. But if you search you will find them. Including on his website.
When I started taking vitamins, a friend of mine said that multivitamins are basically expensive piss.
There are two different types: mineral-based and food-based. We want food based.
She moved away, so I asked an employee at a Vitimen shop about mineral and food-based, and they needed clarification.
Again, as always, thank you for your videos!
This is a truly eye-opening take on the common mistakes many of us make when it comes to taking supplements. I never realized how important timing and quality were, or the risks of mixing certain supplements with medications. The insight about synthetic vitamins, the right doses, and potential drug interactions is so helpful! It also makes me rethink how crucial vitamin D is for our health, especially in higher doses than we've been told. Thank you for shedding light on these critical points-definitely going to adjust my supplement routine!
Perfect timing and soooo helpful. I am on crestor and eat healthy but have cholesterol from genetics. I am also pre diabetes and think it is from this crestor. I also have noticed the numbness in hands and feet. I don’t want to be on anything. A video on alternative for cholesterol would be great. Love your videos.
Please look into the side effects of crestor and how it can cause prediabetes. Then talk to your doctor. Good luck.

I take , Vitamin D, Magnesium for sleep, Black seed oil,Milk thistle, a prostate capsule, Selenium and Colostrum nightly . All one capsule, except for the Vitamin D,they are small,so i take 4 every 2 days.
I just took vit D and magnesium 5 minutes ago after my lunch
Black seed oil is rich in Omega 6 oils, so you need to balance that with Omega 3's. You need a lot more Omega 3 to balance out the omega 6.
How do feel after taking Black Seed oil?
Black seed oil has a lot of omega 6 which are pro-inflammatory, just like Omega 9. Only Omega 3 is anti inflammatory
Add ZINC + PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN. No carbs.

Dr. Berg, thank you again for another great video. You're easy to listen to and you're spot on in so many of your observations. I'm 62, very fit and active every single day. I was taking supplements regularly for years and then I fell off the wagon. Mainly because I was so healthy, I forgot to maintain. About a month ago I attended a multi-day event which involved some stress, alcohol, and travel. When I returned home I was drained and tired for several days. That was unusual for me, but I ignored it and resumed my regular active life. Big mistake, I came down with shingles! Then I binged a few Dr. Berg vids and got on a regimen of L-Lysine, D3+K2, B12, C. Combo'd with oat and epsom baths, and staying home with a good book... the shingles thankfully never really "blossomed". I'm 95% recovered but still forcing myself to keep resting until I'm 100%. I definitely will stay on the wagon with the supplements this time.
2:20 what you were describing with the supps getting stuck in your esophagus, describes this issue i've had for a couple of years that devolves into the chest pains you describe. a swallow of water, sometimes, is enough to start this ordeal....usual doesn't get that bad, but it has. it feels like my esophagusic muscles aren't coordinating like its supposed to? wonder what is going on.......usually passes in about a minute or two
You missed an important caveat to adding probiotics when on antibiotics. Antibiotics will counter out the effects of probiotics if you take them at the same time. People you need to take them at least two hours apart from each other. I was pleasantly surprised when the pharmacist told me that (which I already knew).
Is it better that you take probiotics after antibiotic ? Or take probiotic during antibiotic course, just 2 hrs apart? It just kills the probiotic
@@antares5683the last time I had to take antibiotics, I took probiotics during the antibiotics course and also after. Now I actually take probiotics pretty much with every meal, not in the form of capsules but with natural foods
I like the early morning video releases
I call it, "Wake Up To Dr. Berg!"❤😂
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for always giving us great advice.
Thank you, Dr. Berg. May God bless you and your family abundantly.

I prefer skip breakfast and lunch and eat a meal around 5PM, because I am absolutely not hungry. I work out around 4PM, eat, and take my supplements.
@@SergeLabelle so how is your weight? And how are your blood test results?
i worked out while fasting during the mornings because i worked 2nd shift 20 yrs.and ate when i got in at 3pm then walked 4-5 miles a day on the job. when i eat i don't want to do anything so it's perfect to walk it of. nible at 8pm bed at midnight
Same here! Don’t eat until two in the afternoon and it’s just a little bowl of black beans then pretty much a little bit later. Exercise a lot and still somehow have extra weight. Doesn’t make sense.
After reading the book by Jeff Bowles I began to experiment with my Vit D3 intake. I saw some real benefits when I got up to 70k units daily, w/K2, of course. I sent the book to my 89 year old mother and she increased her own intake and commented how good she feels lately, she even started to bake again, she has so much energy... and she's only up to 20k units! Vit D is a key player in so many things, I'm convinced of it!!
And I only take 5000 IU’s and thought that was a lot. But I’ve felt like I need more as my energy level has not been good. I think I will experiment with a little more
My Dr called me after last lab and said my vitamin d was dangerously high? Is that possible? D2k3 and Dr Zelenkos Zstack which has 5000
Hi I just started Natures Bounty D3 (5000ui) my Rheumatologist said she takes this 5 days a week. I also take 3mgs of Folic Acid daily due to a medication I take. Do you have any recommendations for other vitamins to add or any certain brands? Thank you in advance.
Yes K2 is crucial, but it's not that simple, as it needs to be in the trans form and not the cis form. Some manufacturers are mute about this, and worse, in studies that have tested a variety of suppliers, the amount of trans k2 can be woefully low. A 2016 study even reported that a third of K2 only products they tested contained no K2 at all. I couldn't find a reference now, but I'm pretty sure that K2 trans, such as found in natto, can turn in the inactive cis isomer during processing, and so companies claiming that their K2 is guaranteed to be 100% trans form because it's derived from natto could be false unless they test what they're actually putting in the bottles. So along with taking K2, I think it's important to get calcium levels checked to make sure they're not going up due to K2 not working or being at an incorrect dosage.
@@jamiemcmahon9638 Like Dr Berg said in this video, Vit D3 needs to be taken every day. And since I don't know you or your medical history, I'd never make any recommendations for you. I can suggest searching Dr Berg's channel for medical issues that concern you for any kinds of supplements that he suggests. That's what I've been doing and I've never felt better. Best of luck to you!
My question is what supplements i do I need? How do I know I need them? Every doctor I have spoke to, cannot give me a direct and knowledgeable answer. Very frustrating. Thank you for sharing this information too.:)
DR. BERG!!!!!! I literally ordered like 8 supplements (including your d3 and k2 lol) to take lol and they got here YESTERDAY and you just made this video. I swearrrrrrrrrrrrr the timing of your videos and my life is crazy lol.
I was taking the d3 and k2 supplement and when my doctor did my annual blood test, the vitamin d level was almost toxic. I had to stop taking that supplement before it did any damage.
@@brendas1346How often do you take that vitamin
The pharmacutical industry demonize vitD obviously they would say you have too much of it 😂 DrBerg made a video specifically about it go look it up
Enjoy!
@@brendas1346doctors standards a very low …vitamin D is determined by …Age …race …weight ……your range should be 80-100 ..so if your vitamin D is over 100 is toxic….below not toxic
Dr. Berg, have you changed your mind about taking K2 with the D3? You didn't mention that with the D3. I have been taking Magnesium Glycinate since the first visit with my holistic doctor. But frankly, you are the one that has saved my life and showed me how to eat my way out of Diabetes 2 and explained to me a great many things that doctors don't do.
I think whoever wrote this omitted it as alot of people also discussing how he spoke about c and b as fat soluble but they are water soluble
We are a family of nurses but my mom is not. I told her to stop listening to her doctor pushing to lower her cholesterol and putting her on statin. She did anyway, after doubling her dose, my mom almost died. She developed muscle pain and muscle loss in two weeks! She ended up in the ER and also showed signs of dementia as I am sure her brain mostly made up of fat, is greatly affected. This took 2 months to resolve even after stopping one week of double dose statin. She is so scared of taking statin now and is back to normal. We thought she would be chairbound and just deteriorating mentally and physically.
That seems like it should be considered malpractice. I certainly hope her doctor was made aware of the harm they caused! How many other patients’ lives have been impacted by this same push of high dose pharmaceuticals? Crazy. I’m so glad your mom is okay!
I didn’t realize I was making so many of these mistakes! Thanks for the eye-opener - ready to make some healthy changes! 🍏
When it comes to potassium, since it's kind of hard to get enough from the diet and even supplements (outside of electrolyte powders which often have some fillers and other ingredients you don't want), recently I added potassium chloride (salt) to the himalayan salt I was using mainly just to get more potassium out of the diet and I feel better.
It has also some sodium chloride + potassium iodide (very small percentages, under 1%), but the main is potassium chloride and now I use the himalayan just as a finishing salt. Obviously, not every meal needs salt and you should be careful with it, but I think that is some unexpensive and safe way to increase your potassium intake.
When it comes to supplements overall, right now I only take omega 3 or cod liver oil (I switch them up, I use Rosita Cod Liver Oil), vitamin d3 + k2 (Viridian) and magnesium bisglycinate (Viridian). Viridian is a good brand, I think, though It is somewhat expensive, because their dosage is usually lower (and I just take 2-3 capsules of vitimain d3 rather than 1), but if I trust the ingredients list, they don't have any crap in it. There are some other obscure brands that seem to have quality supplements, but you need to make your own research, because too many brands use magnesium stearate, sillicon dioxide and other caking agents, fillers and crap that you need to avoid..
Try to avoid maltodextrin as well, especially in vitamin C pills.
@@stanleyyu2079 Of course, that is a good suggestion and I meant it in the umbrella term "crap" :D
Besides, Vitamin C is fairly easy to get from whole foods, so better to consume it from peppers, a bit of lemons, leafy greens, grapefruits occasionally etc. Or if it's from supplements, try to find some better ones like from camu camu fruit, acerola or rose hips, or anything similar.
Dr. Berg, you've convinced me to quit drinking all high caffeine sports drinks with sugar ,MCT oil etc. The brand that I used had 300 mg of caffeine in each. I didn't realize how extremely dangerous they are especially for people like me with coronary plaque and I am 61. I've been feeling sick over the weekend because I have a painful Inguinal hernia and I haven't eaten since Friday because the extra weight in my intestines seems to make it more difficult to go down. So, I have fasted since Friday minus electrolytes and water. Not even drinking coffee. Anyway, I wanted to thank you for the post about the sugary highly caffeinated drinks. I never would have dreamed that a coke was healthier then a 300 mg sugary caffeinated drink. which is what I had sometimes 3 x a day....playing with fire like that for sure..should be common sense huh? Have a great morning.everyone.
An energy drink was never really a sports drink.
Sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade don't have caffeine, but are also horrible for the body.
Congrats for getting off energy drinks 🎉
You needed someone to tell you to quit drinking that crap kind of common sense
Just drink water and lemon ….or buy a juicy and blend beets and carrots …celery ..or make a smoothie of spinach and blueberries …that all you need ..don’t not blend fruits ..use lemon as a sweetener ….your body will be grateful ..start with BEET and Carrot and cucumber juice
Start ..fish oil..or krill oil ….please buy natural not synthetic vitamins …google natural vitamins and always…read the back of the bottle ….if you cannot pronounce the name put it back on the self ….Walmart has very many synthetic vitamins ..and shoppers drug mart ( that for people who live in Canada) and Walgreens
Common sense, is not eating sugary at all, except 'red beets' they one of the most healthy Veg.
I haven’t seen a video of yours that mentions gastric bypass (weight loss) patients problems. No one tells you that you have to take several supplements in certain forms multiple times a day. It was 10 years I went to specialists: hematologist for iron IV infusions, vitamin D treatments, gastroenterologist for various treatments, and others.). Praise God I found a wonderful Dietitian who put me on a correct course and she changed my life. You really need to log your food and set strict fat limits and various other routines that can easily be incorporated into your daily life. I STRONGLY encourage gastric bypass surgery patients to seek the advice of a great dietitian. They will change your life forever 😊❤
P.S. when you get the Roux-En-Y they staple your stomach to be smaller but in doing so, your digestive system bypasses where nutrients would normally be absorbed. Very bad.
I appreciate how the quality of your vids has so much improved! Really nice to watch now
It's my pleasure!
Vitamin K is also great to take with D-3. Do NOT take any herbs if you're on an Antidepressant. I learned this the hard way.
K2
Oh no…, why?
K is not to be taken with D3. It's K2 which should be taken with D3. K & K2 are totally different. K is for clotting factor. Many get these confused (even on internet medical posts).
K2 is to be taken with D3 (not K). They are completely different. K is for blood clotting. Many get these confused (even internet medical posts). Please don't take K.

Some years ago, I felt bothered by the fact that I was very thirsty when I woke up. Where I live, Sweden, the air is dry and it sucks you dry when you sleep. So I started to drink half a liter of water before I went to bed. For a week to ten days, I had to pee in the middle of the night but then my body adjusted and I slept all night long. I have noticed that if I don’t fall asleep, I do have to pee. Sometimes I drink an entire liter. Unrelated to vitamin but it’s really nice to be properly hydrated while sleeping.
Have you thought of a cool water vaporizer for the bedroom?
@@twobearshomestead No, it’s not hot enough for me to buy one. I really like the fact that I’m only slightly thirsty when I wake up
Also probably you sleep with your mouth open. And then you only need to take one mouthful of water and swish it around your mouth for a bit. Don’t drink too much before bed

I do take a lot of supplements and have trialed a lot to try and help my tinnitus, but if I want to try something new, I try to introduce it as a single ingredient, not something like ‘tinnitus relief - that will have 5 different things in it.
I'm curious to know & am humbly asking if you found anything that helped or healed /helped with the tinnitus, or at least improved the symptoms?
I have days when it's better, but not sure if it's due to a specific supplement or dietary choice. I am experimenting with Saturated beef fat (Suet to be exact) that I fry & eat with beef & water.
I eat mostly ruminant animal meats at the moment due to digestive issues that were really bad months ago, & getting better thanks to help from pple like Dr Berg. Getting my stomach acid levels up to help break down food, as well as getting my gall bladder restored to something closer to proper % function has been a journey that's not easy, but well worth the troubles.
I hope you found relief in Tinnitus, & I hope to as well 1 day.
Regards,
@@here_for_the no, not really. I know what makes it worse, high glutamate (msg), alcohol and illness, but not much to make it better. For me, I think it is part of years of migraines, so I have focused on nutrients that researchers have found help for traumatic brain injuries. I was just listening to one of Andrew Huberman's podcasts and the scientist he was interviewing was talking about TBI's and I will continue to try things that have been shown to heal the brain. Like now I am going to up my Cod Liver Oil. The scientist on huberman was talking about 3-5 grams per day to heal the brain, but I take at most just one gram, if I remember to take it at all. I have had tinnitus for 13 years though, so I dont hold out much hope. I mainly work on just having good sleep habits, because that is the part that really drives me nuts, the impact it has on my sleep. And your brain wont heal without good sleep.
Dr Berg, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I realize that I'm taking the right supplements but doing it TOO QUICKLY. I'm easing in to it and doing so much better....whew! What a relief...you're awesome!
I love how honest this is! That's why I listen to Dr Berg for almost 4yrs now. I also make myself a human guinea pig. I listen to what I feel and what my body tells me, and of course, I do intensive research and take notes, comparisons etc etc We know our capacity more than anyone else.
Once again i learned a lot from this Genius. My Supplementations are Zinc, Omega 3, Vitamin D3 7000 iU in the Morning and Magnesium in the Evening.
The Last 3 Weeks im testing Shilajit in Combination with Ashwagandha.
Dont know if its a Placebo Effect, but i feel more energy since the last Week.
Maybe Dr.Berg could give his Opinions in another Video about not so known Supplements.
Have a nice and healthy Day👋😉
I don’t think you should take zinc long term and without calcium. I just spent all morning writing down my vitamins to check what I’m taking.
If you are taking zinc, please also make sure you are getting enough copper. The two minerals work to keep each other in balance. Shalajit should have copper but maybe not enough. Ashwagandha worked well for me to help balance my hormones.
Don't forget to take K2 with your D3!!! Dr. Berg has had many videos on this
Don’t take too much magnesium. Be careful
Choline is good for the liver, especially to reverse and clean fatty liver - often best ingested from eggs, spinach, and parsley. (source: Dr. Ken Berry)
I learnt that same information from here from Dr Berg, that’s why I added choline a few years back. So much great knowledge being shared online.
A couple months ago I went off all my supplements just to see what was what. I discovered that the Turmeric, that I was taking to alleviate inflammation actually caused me to have painful joints, especially in areas of my body that had previous injuries. The exact opposite of what I was trying to accomplish!
It causes my diverticulitis to act up. Stop taking it. It's good to keep a diary of alignments.
Oxalates
Is it possible it was the brand..? Using binders or fillers..?
Many spices are found to contain lead & arsenic
Dr Berg! You crack me up in this video. I love the quick photos of you, especially the one where you are eating the Pringles!😂
