This video is a gem! So much useful information. I normally avoid promoting things, but I have to share the subliminal affirmations for acne on Borlest with you. They can truly heal your skin. All the best to everyone.
Dr Berg. My wife had fatty liver. She dropped to two meals a day and in six months her liver went back to normal thank you keep up the good work from Australia
I got fatty liver from sugary sodas. I cut them off and took tocotrienols by Dr.Berg's suggestion. Liver enzyme(ALT) came down to normal(25) in 3 months with only 50mg/day tocotrienols. Had the dose been 300mg/day as Dr.suggested, it would probably been less than one month recovery-time.
I love dr. Berg and I respect everything he says, but I could not do keto it was just not for me, however I lowered my table sugar intake by a lot and also change the way I eat foods, I make sure I eat a balanced diet every time I eat but i fast every other day for 24hours so fasting absolutely works!!!!! I can not emphasize this enough. I suffered really bad acne/fungal acne, for almost 2 years I was really depressed until my big sis told me to fast every other day, in one day I immediately saw results. No kidding!! Fasting works and I hope who ever reads this tries it! Not for the weak but if you want to change your health and skin it has to be done. Skin care products can only help but so much. Sorry for the long comment but I’m hoping someone reads this and it helps them out 💕
@@Truth15freedom Yes! Those "vegetable" oils and margarines are pure poison. Dr Berg and other online doctors have explained these nefarious non-foods in detail.
@@Truth15freedom Agreed on both. Sugar & seeds oils must be cut off. Plus adding omega 3 foods. In my case, I see a big difference with cod liver oil, 3 cans / week in summer.
As a muslim we keep fasting for 30 days without drinking and eating .....we do eat in early morning then then directly on evening.....but the thing is that everytime we do these it keeps up active and mind fresh and even the skin clear..... But i loved the way how Dr. Eric has explained these everything very nicely..... Proud 😎
@@scarlet_redrose inshallah may Allah make your skin acne free and bright, but do pray 5 times daily too my dear sister.... Hope you have a good day with good health💓💓
@@scarlet_redrose that May because we eat too much after opening…I feel glad that I can fast after seeing this video…switch to healthy foods for iftar..
Ramadan isn't a fast. You stuff your faces after sundown and actually GAIN WEIGHT on average. You don't get fat on a real fast. You just flip eating time with non-eating time, day for night. You don't get clear skin during Ramadan, so don't lie. You get fat.
Between Dr Berg and Dr Berry,- two years ago I was diagnosed with fatty liver, HBP and extremely high triglyceride, after fasting 16:8 and reduce carb intake my health went back to normal. So thanks to you both.
I lost 50, stop all sugars breads and pasta, no more HBP and cholesterol meds, my doctor is very impressed and i have more energy than when I was in my 30's, Get mad at myself for not learning all this sooner, but our bodies are so amazing that we regenerate health very quick 👍🏽
You should also check out Dr. Bergman. But he’s highly censored and his videos are always getting deleted by RUclips so you have to watch them immediately before the truth police/big pharma takes them down.
My mother wouldn't listen to me until I told her that Doctors Oz and Stork recommend intermittent fasting. I'm old enough to remember Dr. Atkins being vilified in the 80's for writing a book endorsing ketogenic diet. This was during the low fat/high carb craze. Muffins, bread, skim milk, cereal, bagels without butter, fat free everything and no eggs or olive oil... I couldn't understand why I felt better and got way better results in the gym when I ate high protein while giving up starchy carbs in the early 90's. I felt like a weirdo. Well, we all know better these days.
@@aishadar9952 it started with high ALT\AST from the liver i.e. blood work. Then doctor refer to like an ultra sound scan. The scan will identify whether you have fatty liver or any damages.
My body was covered with acne from head to toe. I tried everything. I had almost given up, but then I started fasting, gave up sugar and started keto. Within 2 weeks I noticed a difference. Now 2 months later my skin is so smooth it's like babies skin. I'm 65 years old. Not only have i lost weight, I have also got so much energy I'm thinking of giving some away.
I agree. A coworker of mine did 30 days of water fast and lost a lot of weight but her skin looked amazing and she all of a sudden appeared taller to me plus her hair looked shinier. Everything about her looked young and healthy.
She is not Muslim. She did it as a push to lose weight. She was coming to work and living her life perfectly. She was drinking water only. Other people asked her what she was doing and she didn’t say. I was the only person she told. I don’t think she documented anything but we all saw very dramatic results and I don’t think exercise or surgery could do that. RUclips has plenty of people who documented doing fasting with similar results. She is the only real life person I have seen doing water fast and the result was pretty striking.
Dr. Berg. I'm a UK nurse, struggling with mask acne, your videos have helped my face. It is nearly clear after two years, I didn't realise so much of this is related to the liver, hormones, and insulin. I am now passing this information on to my patients and colleagues and they are impressed by my knowledge. I love your videos, never stop! Video on mask acne next please 🙏🏼
I used dianette and Retina A. Cleared up my skin, to the point I was actually getting compliments. That was in my early 20s. Now 52 my skin is in a lot better condition than some if my contemporaries. There is light at the end if the tunnel ❤
This video is priceless! I used to have skin issues, and since keto and fasting, I have ZERO PROBLEMS! IT IS AMAZING!!!!!!! I started 2+ years ago, and I am not even the same person I was before. Thank you, Dr. Berg!!!!!!
Thank you for this! ❤️ Skin related topics are greatly appreciated. My skin got HORRIBLE after a stressful year in my life while I began to eat very badly. Acne, red skin, rosacea, fine lines, large pores... Just awful. I hope these tips will help me 🙏
This is true about fasting. When the seasonal flu put me down for four days I didn't eat solids, and my skin looked younger and healthier immediately. As if my body truly was cleaned up from the inside.
Absolutely true, I love intermittent fasting! I feel so much better, look better and the best part is my bowel movements are very tiny and almost non existent. Seems my body loves to take its time to breakdown and properly process what I eat and actually utilize most of it. 🤣
Fasting is recommended in Eastern religions, Hindusim Jainism. There are days during which fasting is recommended like on full moon day. Also vegetarian diet is recommended but that won't work in west because there are not some many millets lentils fruits and veg recipes outside India
Apart from Ramadan, many Muslims also practice the fasting of the Prophet (PBUH) by fasting every Monday and Thilursdays- 2 days every week. I do it, and it positively impacted my health in almost all the areas you have touched. Anyone with memory lapses can also improve it with fasting. Thank you Dr for spreading life enhancing knowledge across. Keep up!
@@ImprovingLL we can break our fast in the evening around 6 pm according to the timings....and u should Start fasting agn early in the morning from around 5 am after having meal....so u can have Whatever u want between these two timings
Survey done,. As a Muslim we fast a whole month of Ramadan and 2 days of every normal weeks plus some extra occasion days but i’m gonna start having 2 meals after today on my non fasting days 😅Thanks to you Dr Berg u’re always informative.
After a whole day of fasting i used to eat so many carbs like samosas rolls with different types of high sugary drinks and my skin used to break out like mad. I hope to finish this habit
But I've noticed that the unhealthy things they eat when breaking the fast each evening and morning wipes out any benefit accrued during the day. I've been told that a number of Muslims put ON weight during the fasting month. Fasting for around 12 hours with no water to clean out the stomach, and then over-consuming especially on unhealthy things doesn't do anything for one. Ramadan fasting is spiritually-oriented, I know, but of dubious benefit health-wise.
I am a yoga teacher based in Ludhiana , Punjab, India. I have learnt it from you that nutrition has a larger role in creating health and yoga can complete the whole fitness regime. Today your videos have helped me bring happiness to my students life. I have saved and shared hundreds of your videos. Today I talked of the best antibiotic drink which I learnt from your video and also understood the limitations of the antibiotic pill. I am 72 years old and your videos have made a huge impact on our lives . Thanks to you I understand my health issues better and resolved many without visiting the the Doctor, Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this. In the Christian faith we're encouraged to fast often for spiritual strength, but now we're getting to understand the benefits to our health too. Wow! Thank God. Thank you Dr.
Studies showed that fasting may help with: • Dermatitis • Itchy skin • Inflammation • Acne • Psoriasis • Rosacea Other potential benefits of fasting: • A healthy metabolism • Increased longevity • A healthy immune system • Improvement with infections • Healthy eyes • Improvements in mood and cognitive function • A decreased risk of cancer • Antiaging effects • Healthy hormones Top causes of acne and other skin problems: • Frequent eating • Sugar and refined carbs • Omega-6 fatty acids (seed oils) • Stress • Allergies • A toxic liver and toxic colon • Gallbladder problems • A low-fat diet • Autoimmune conditions • Age (a loss of collagen and elastin) Tips for clear skin: 1. Start fasting (start with consuming two meals and cutting out snacks) 2. Get on a low-carb diet and gradually get on a Healthy Keto diet 3. Get plenty of sun exposure 4. Consume probiotic foods or take a probiotic supplement 5. Take cod liver oil Thank you Dr Berg!! 🐱👍🏿
I can confirm this information from personal experience. I suffer from both Rosacea and Ulcerated colitis, the two are intrinsically connected. Keeping away from carbs helps my gut and therefore my skin. If I have inflammation in my gut, I get inflammation on my face. If I lapse (sometimes to do a controlled study), my face breaks out and my bowels are not happy. Carb reduction, probiotics and fasting has had an amazingly positive effect for my health, appearance and general well being. Dr Berg has been a huge catalyst of this improvement in my well being, his information and connecting the dots is much appreciated.
I’ve been fasting for 17 hours everyday. It’s helped with my depression and mental fog. I feel a lot more energy. I’m trying to do at least one 24 hour fast per week.
It helps me too. Yesterday I started to experiment with salty water (some kind of minerals rich water) and that helped me to fast longer. That also brought my sodium up to 2 teaspoons a day... I had to increase my potassium citrate intake too, but these 2 actions really decreased completely. Not tired at all and no hungry.
Thank you Dr I am Muslim and it is sunnah to fast every Monday and Thursday, besides Ramadaan! You are so intelligent and generous to share correct information with us! 😇
Fasting is also in Christianity ,, which is a lot better than Islam ,, becoz in Christianity fasting there is one meal per day Fasting is also in Jews and Hindus
@kanwalarora363 @ the Dr.means continous fasting for a long time without eating g at all 14 r 16 hours not like yours you just stop eating except vegetarian foods. Nothing is better than Uslam and be civilized, not racist.
@kanwalarora363 why is it called fasting if you can have a meal during the day? There is only one fasting that is acceptable in the sight of the Creator and it is Fasting of Islam...go with your fake fasting where you can eat during it.
Thanks, Dr. Berg! This lines up with everything I keep reading on how fasting literally transforms the body from the inside out. There’s diabetes in my family, and I am super conscious of this fact. I have had hypoglycemia since I was a kid, and the last several years by A1C blood sugar levels were creeping higher and higher toward pre-diabetic range. In the last 18 months or so, I have done 16:8 fasting with low sugar overall. My A1C is now 5.2 from 5.9 a year ago. I’m so happy with this! That’s like going from “hey, we’re gonna need to start diabetes prevention” to “diabetes, what diabetes?” But I’m still very aware of what I eat and continue to fast most days of the week. I even have had very few hypoglycemic episodes since fasting. It’s a true gift!
Dr. Berg is the best! Love that he is all about natural remedies not pharmaceuticals. The ability to reverse adverse effects is amazing! Easily understood also.
I wish I could have met you in my early teen years Dr.Berg you could have changed my life forever. I guess better late than never because you have helped me so much in the past couple months. Forever grateful!!
Dr berg I watch your videos all the time I'm 80years old I have no health problems at all I've been using apple cider vinegar for 20 years an I eat a lot of lemons I'm just starting to fast diet is no 1 like you always say thanks for your vidios
I had bad eczema and acne for about two years I was also over weight and unintentionally cleared my skin by eating just one meal a day struggled with eczema my whole life as well and it magically cleared I wasn’t taking any supplements either . A few months ago I started eating multiple meals a day and snacking from stress and my skin looks horrible I never realized how much fasting helped my skin I’m starting back up again today after watching this video!!!
Dr Berg thank you! I have had acne for 15 years I'm now 28. I have sibo that I learnt from you! And I'm now fixing my liver and gut and hopefully will have clear skin after this!
Try a green smoothie a day :) (can replace the coffee for this.. if you have gut issues, coffee on an empty stomach causes inflammation which would not be good for your stomach or skin). My go to smoothie is: Spirulina, celery, cucumber, spinach leaves, pear, grape. I've added MCT oil (coconut oil) to smoothies and it tastes great in them :) You can play around with different fruit and green combos, but if you have a green smoothie a day, your skin and stomach will thank you! (it's how I got rid of my acne for good, along with limiting inflammatory foods- so reducing dairy, wheat & cane sugar).
Dr. Berg, my GOD in Heaven will bless you and your family in JESUS name. You are a life saver. You have helped me very much here in Nigeria. The major connection between us is this RUclips Channel. Through your videos, I have overcome High Blood Pressure, Thyroid issue, Edema and I have incorporated good eating habit with exercise. You are a rare gem. Please, stay alive. GOD be with you. I love you dearly. You are a good man. Oh my Dr. Berg!
Dr.berg, I did everything you said on your previous video to clear my skin, I even took your essential minerals but I was still breaking out..then I saw one RUclips video about coffee and how the caffeine could affect skin health, I stopped drinking coffee then I saw an incredible change on my skin, it was difficult to stop but I did it and my skin haven’t been the same! The coffee was not the only factor, stopping sugar, law carb and fasting helped me but I feel like the caffeine was blocking me to get my result
Wow, fasting is even good for your eyes? So good to know! Im 45 and I still see very clearly. I do 16/8 intermittent fasting for the last 3 and a half years
God bless you Mr Berg! You save so many lives! I’m sure millions of people not only improve their health but their lives as well! If somebody not watch your videos and not follow you, it’s just because their bad luck…. But I’m thankful to God that our family had found you! Our whole family, including our toddlers, in keto diet! We had serious allergic problems with one of our toddler, now it’s gone forever! And we are just happy from fact that our kids growing healthy with healthy food! Thank you so much!!!! We hardly appreciate what you do for humanity!!!! And hope much more more people can find dr Berg for themselves!!!!!👍🏻🌹
Hi Dr Berg, I want to talk about my case in particular. After returning from holidays overseas, having gained 5 KG in 1 month, I decided to start intermitent fasting as a quick way to lose weight. I have been suffering from cystic - hormonal acne since my teenage years to this days, I just turned 34 years old. It turned out that after one month following a 16/8 diet, my skin started to clear up, and now, after 4 months following this routine, my breakouts have been reduced around 90%. It has been mindblowing to see how changes in your diet that ultimately affect your sugar levels can cause such dramatic changes in acne sufferers. I highly recommend anyone suffering from this type of acne to try out either to cut sugar from their diet, or simply schedule their meals into intermitent fasting periods, it has saved me from going into harsh medication such as isotritoin or roaccutane or having to spend thousands of dollars in other invasive skin treatments.
if you're in depression I would start with your hormones. I know this spent decades in this state until I found a hormone specialist. Added testosterone and thyroid meds with a few supplements and cardio exercise, I was fixed
We live not like human beings nowadays in our modern civilization. Think about this, and maybe try to change your way of living? Move outside the city and see how it is to live without constant rat race, cut yourself out of social media, and change your diet (fasting included)
My skin got so bad after I introduced intermittent fasting. I’m easily stressed out, and IF caused even more stress to my body. My hormones became a mess. Besides that, I lost way too much weight. I’m naturally thin and my body needs a lot of calories. I stopped IF and my skin got back to almost clear again. I don’t eat fully keto, but I do eat low carb. Feeling super fit and healthy at the moment! But I really do appreciate your video’s Dr. Berg. They are the best and you’re helping a lot of people! ❤️ Greetings from The Netherlands.
Doctor you are doing a grate job for all mankind . Thanks a lot for your videos , I watched your videos on fasting and fasted for 15 days first , then 7 days , and my breast tumour reduced 2 times , I’m going to fast again. Thank you very very much doctor ! God bless you!
Would love to have detailed video on 'autophagy'. What should be taken before we begin and step on this phase, what should be taken in between autophagy hours, how much water intake as well. And how to break this fasting phase in a right way (what should be taken after). Would be really helpful. 💐😊
Yes! He made a few videos that can help you immediately. If you search this channel/ his website or app, for words like “autophagy”, “what to eat after a fast” “what nutrients to use while fasting”, ect, you will see most of his answers.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Hi, 😊 Yes, I've seen most of the videos on autophagy, yet i had some confusions (majorly about what to take in between full autophagy phase 24-48hrs and how to properly break it with right food selection)
@@deeptichanana I see. Well he made videos on using a small amount of foods to re-start feeding. If I remember well, eggs and vegetables can be used without troubles. What to take? He mentioned supplements like electrolytes, salt, nutritional yeast, powders require less work for one’s digestive system.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 I’m wondering how healthy all of this is, if we need to take electrolytes, sodium, potassium, etc when we do keto or carnivore. Not saying it’s not healthy, I’m just seriously asking. Thanks! Also, I can’t find ANYTHING on Dr Berg’s channel about diverticulitis specifically...only IBS, ulcerative colitis, etc. thanks!
@@shar7508 Yes. I’ve been experimenting since 2017 with different supplements, with & without at least the basics. I’m way healthier than I ever was now, knowing how my body needs. Especially because supplements allow me to fast much longer. So different damages in my body heal, despite being physically active.
That's absolutely correct info, it's true after Ramadan month, 30 days of fasting we feel significant changes in the body and over health conditions. The best practice is to fast 2 days a week (Monday & Thursday) besides Ramadan (once a year). Thanks Dr. Berg for sharing.
I am Hindu, from India. We were told to do fast on Saturdays from our childhood which was passed down from many ages ago. I believe west need more doctors like him to explain the uses and many more scenarios...
Fasting for around 23hrs now. Feels soo great 👍 Not hungry one bit. My skin looks so much better. Brown spots disappearing. Looks younger. Thank you so much for your hard work! Really my life is a million times better in so many ways. Would take me 5 pages of success stories…
Can you please explain the difference between the sugars? Cane sugar, process sugars and the difference between those and the ones that we consume in our fruits! You've been a life changer and saver for millions of people including me, I've stop consuming all sugars, breads and pasta,and only drinking water, I lost over 50 lbs since February this yr. Stop taking HBP and cholesterol meds, my doctor is very impressed and i have more energy than ever before, THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍🏽
I have a lot of dark spots and pimple marks on my face and I have done a lot to get rid of this, but I couldn't. I am going to try this out. Thanks so much for this video.
Thanks Dr. We don't get taught this unless we have the diligence to find out for ourselves, earlier in the year we cut out breakfast and started eating healthier options and smaller portions for lunch and dinner. It has been a gradual process. Today we have been exercising well for 6months, no processed foods, no snacks, no junk, almost no sugar and only eating between 12.30 and 6.30. I have lost 8kg this year and my acne has gone down 90%. From today i am moving lunch out to 1.30pm and saying goodbye to sugar for thr next 5weeks. I hope i can loose 3kg more before our wedding! We are gettijg very fit and healthy because your channel is a great help. We also take cod liver oil, apple cider, green tea. Thanks!
Thank you Dr Berg. Apart from Ramadan we're encouraged to fast other times during the year and live a life filled with fasting. Mondays and Thursdays for example. But I have a hard time doing it. I'll try to do it now.
Yeah, but the problem with your fasting is "Dry fasting" which has some slight problem/damage. But you can include water or salt water to your fasting and it will make it better to keep your body hydrated as it does its thing.
@@KevinGathirwa Famous Muslim fotballers play just as hard while fasting with no problems. Jesus fasted 40 days with no food or water. We do it every year and have no problems or adverse health effects. So I'm not sure what you're basing your opinion on.
Hey doc love your channel, I'm a recovering drug addict I was addicted to fentenal and other drugs like rock cocaine and amphetamines for alot of years, I'm proud to say I have been 100% drug free for almost two full years now and my body feels good, lm lucky to be able to say I have no current health concerns however I worry about my liver and kidneys is there anything I can do to help increase the health of my organs that would have been most affected by the drug use
Yes! If you search this channel /his website or app, words like "liver", "kidneys", you will see a list of videos answering your question. You may want to plan some study time to experiment the data but you are in for a new improved life!
You always explain the 'why'. Thank you for this thorough explanation. I am currently praticing keto, all thanks to you (I did a lot of research, you are the most comprehensive!) And I love, love, love the intermittent fasting principle, but it is hard for me, a matter of discipline. Please keep discussions flowing about IF.
We love you Dr.Berg! ❤️ yes we do fasting once a year on Ramadan but we have been told to fast weekly (once or twice a week) as well which we were skipping now I will. Thank you ❤️
@@saliseduardo4357 Jesus for us, is a messenger of God who was ascended from the cross and they killed someone resembling him. He was born to Mary while she was virgin. He cured many diseases with the permission from God. He will return some years before the doomsday and fight the anti christ. Then there will be years of complete peace and tranquility and then the end where he will die as all other living beings.
I failed at keto for years. I’m doing a weightloss challenge now and am way behind. This time it’s working! I eased into it by slowly decreasing my carb intake over about a week and taking a week off the gym. Now that I’m a little acclimated, Ive gone back to the gym on a lighter schedule (used to spend 2+ hours on total body) now doing 30-60 min and focusing on an upper/lower split. Even if I eat something mildly carb heavy, it doesn’t trigger cravings right away. I did not anticipate my skin looking better, it’s usually decent looking but it looks a couple years younger and a little glowy as my big cheeks get smaller too haha
When I was in my 30s, I had red dots, called petechiae, across my stomach. My doctor told me there was nothing to do about them; they came with age. I appreciate you telling me what causes them and what I can do about it. I have actually moved away from using doctors for chronic issues due to not only this doctor's response but others that have actually misdiagnosed me. I now use natural medicine and my diet to keep me healthy and I avoid M.D.s at all costs.
It's good to be informed, and if you have health issues, it is wise to know and understand the how and the why in order to heal. All the best to you on your journey!
What you wrote about moving away from doctors for chronic issues resonated with me. Somewhere I read a comment a few weeks ago where a person wrote about being a biologist. He stated he used to work for a pharmaceutical company and that he will never see a doctor for a chronic illness. This person said that doctors are trained to only push drugs and that pharmaceutical companies incentive this while nearly enforcing it. Western medicine is great for trauma care, but not chronic illnesses or natural remedies. They don't teach healthy diet or holistic practices in medical school.
@@josephdockemeyer6782 You are correct, Joseph. M.D.s only learn about prescribing pharmaceuticals for particular symptoms in medical school and that's the only treatment you will receive from them. They only treat symptoms. They never bother to find the cause of the symptoms. Using natural medicine and diet are the best way to fix what ails you. I agree they're good with trauma care, but not anything else.
Dear Dr Berg, thank you so much for all your efforts and amazing videos! My name is Olga, I am a founder of Wellbeing Parents Association Vienna, Austria! I am happy to share your videos with my family, friends and my group, off course! All the best, OL
Dr. Berg, I love your videos, could you please make a video on Dark Spots. I only get the occasional acne breakout, but when I get it, it leaves behind a dark spot😥
Can someone turn Dr. Eric Berg into an application similar to Siri? That would streamline everything! Love the information Eric shares. My mission is to reduce bloating, fatty liver (reducing the size of my pudge), and high interval (low weight) training. I lost 4 pounds in 1 week, but I cheated with pizza (I know, I know--dairy and bread) over the weekend. No, it's not easy. Sometimes I get headaches, but I push through. No sugar was tough, but it gets easier after the first 5 days. 7-10 pounds is my goal (depending on my "pudge"). Then I'll start bulking (not eating more but lifting heavier). One thing I'm struggling with is sleeping. So far, I feel sharper and more focused (especially if I can get 8 hours of sleep). You need to focus on making it through the cravings (hunger pangs). Overall, I enjoy fasting (intermittent and sometimes longer due to a busy schedule).
Yes! Sleep quality, improved, will definitly make everything else easier. I suggest his you checked Dr Berg's videos on "sleep". You may want to start by checking your vitamin D & omega 3 levels.
I have a stressful job and I can’t imagine what will happen to my health if I’m not doing intermittent fasting. I simply do not eat between 8pm and 12pm and eat normal amounts of food and even desserts for lunch and dinner. I lost 20 pounds within 2 years and I feel that my my body can handle stress better. I also used to have a very hard time waking up early for morning meetings but I find I have so much energy that I’m even able to do yard work in the early morning. I don’t usually comment on youtube but I’m writing this to help convince people that intermittent fasting is not only the best you can for your health but also that it is not difficult to sustain at all.
I've had acne for so long but i didn't let it destroy my confidence and stuff like that. I'm really used to having acne, that i don't care anymore of course i still do wash my face lol . This video rly helped me thank you
Thank you dr. Berg :D I have psoriasis. And I spotted that also - I started eating 2 times a day 1 year ago (thanks to your channel). And when I was in Amsterdam in June me and my friend were eating 3 times a day, but we were walking at least 15km a day. Both things made my skin clear - less frequent eating and highly above average physical activity. Not to mention, in Amsterdam, cannabis. I've seen that certain cannabinoids must work for clearing skin, since it boosted the clearance. Concerning carbs - what works for me is less than 100g a day. I try to avoid them, but I'm only human, so sometimes strong will fails :P
Already when I was a kid, in the 60s, my father was fasting at least once a year. But he was drinking water. I tried Ramadan when I lived in Egypt for a year, but I drank water. I lost a lot of weight and felt good.
😭 I thought fasting meant not eating ALL day long and I worried about irritability (I tend to get “hangry”). This sounds like it’s something I could actually try! Thank you, Dr. Berg! Thank you so much!!
@@Drberg I don’t know if you will see this, but I have to tell you (and everyone that happens upon the comment) what just one week of following your advice in this video has done for me. Since I started getting periods (30 some years ago) I would get hormone migraines (sometimes throughout the month on certain cycle days, but ALWAYS the day before my period). I started this advice (the 18-hour fasting and very little sugar) during PMS week. I did NOT get ANY headaches! I am throughly amazed at how well I feel overall! I know I already thanked you, but what you are doing for people with these videos is a very good thing. Is fasting HARD, yes, it can be. But, this advice made it EASIER! And I am grateful. May the Lord bless this (obvious) ministry. 😊
@@Drberg Can you cover more about stemcells how they are used for longevity, anti aging & healing. The differences between various treatments being offered overseas. Also claims that with 4 treatments a year at 300 million cells, a person would completely stop aging. Thanks
I love the videos that when u just think about an issue and they suddenly pop up. Like the one about osteopenia today. Though I'm grateful for all your videos. Thank you.
A million thanks Dr. I like how quick, simple and easy to understand your videos are. Also, I personally like the whiteboard or when you show your notes. Thank you!
Thank you for this educational video Dr. Berg. I was 94kg 3 months ago, now I am 84kg and still losing. I eat one balanced meal a day and have adapted a low carb diet as well. I feel so much better, I have more energy, my brain is sharper and I just have more “bounce” in my steps. I also used to have very bad acne since having to wear mask at work (nurse) all the time. But with fasting and low carb and some skin barrier cream, my acne is better. Again, thank you so very much and keep being the beacon to a healthier world.
The latest German scientific research has been shown that all persons with acne had a shortage of omega 3. No matter which age. So taking omega 3 (cod liver oil) is one of the keys the professors say.
Hi Dr. Berg! I just took your survey and hope you come across the ideas I had for a mini series about systemic inflammation. I have suffered with migraines, joint pain, and what the doctors assume is costochondritis most of my life. Hoping for a comprehensive series on fixing these issues as they relate to systemic inflammation. Thank you for all that you do 💚
@@Jessiewantstosee the problem with magnesium deficiency is that it can't be tested in blood easily. A special test for so called free ionized active magnesium can be done but otherwise a cell sample would be needed and good luck finding a hospital who Tests for that. But doctors can Diagnose based on symptoms. It's common because magnesium needs vary wildly from person to person and our food has much less magnesium than it used to. Also if you take magnesium but only fulfill your daily need or less, you can still get a magnesium deficiency if you have chronic illness or chronic stress, get an injury, etc. How much magnesium do you take and in which form? It's important to spread the dosage out thinly over the day too to increase absorption.
Agreed 💯 This has been my lifelong program since I was 30yrs. With one exception. Absolutely NO SUN. Applying sunscreen 2x/day is the cherry on top. I am the happiest 55 yr with compliments everyday. Believe me, it’s a mistake not to make this a part of your everyday routine. Happy to send pics with zero filters, no Botox, no fillers, no makeup 😊
Alhamdullilah that I am Muslim and Allah commond us to fast every year one month and every week 2days Monday and Thursday❤ I feel i get all the benefit when I do it properly. Please try Ramadan with Muslim friends and also try every Monday and Thursday and you will see the result as this Dr said🙏 thank you Dr you know the benefit of fasting very well😊😊 great video.
I really love your channel Dr Berg for general medical knowledge. I used to fast dinner daily, but I currently have acid reflux, so I should eat small meals more often. I start eating 2 eggs daily from your advice to get protein as I eat little red meats. Thank you so much for your time and information!😇🙌
Berg recommends one or two tablespoons (don’t remember; I think two) of apple cider vinegar with, or perhaps in your case, in lieu of, a meal to prevent heartburn from acid reflux. Take within ideally a 16:8 intermittent fasting schedule.
Before each meal, take a teaspoon of Apple cider vynegar and you will improve your reflux. I suffered and I improved a lot with it. On the other hand, for me is working great to have 2 big meals a day, the breakfast and the lunch. Once you improve your reflux, you can try to eat more in less meals.
One thing that fasting has done for me, especially a 24 hour fast; When it’s time to eat I really appreciate the food. It makes you extremely self aware of the food you consume. After 24 hours of not eating, do I want crap or real food?
I am coming here after 3 months because I have finally realised the single reason why I went from 30% average to 85% average in school. Intermittent fasting-although I was doing it to get clear skin at the time- indirectly boosted my cognitive ability to the point where I was able to study 5 hours a day during the holidays and 2 hours each day after school. I would always skip breakfast for "clearer skin" but I never realised just how much it boosted my cognitive ability and ambition to the point where I could do anything. I was at a point in my life where I had never been before. I recently started bulking and along with that my productivity and studying habits fell too. Only after getting onto a fast again I realised how much fasting and this video had done for me. Thank you
@@joconda8256 My skin didn't really clear. I think its because I continued eating oily and sugary foods from time to time. Maybe its because im a teenager and fasting might not work the same way it does on adults. Recently, I just started a skin-care routine and bought this 'Rapid Acne Clear' face wash from nivea and its been working. I also have made changes in my diet.
@@joconda8256 i haveto wash my face with dawn. Then i put lain yogurt on like moisturiser. Its been controling my acne fr 38 years. But dont eat to much fat/oil. Just make sure you eat healthy oils. Cold pressed
Thankful to Dr Berg for educational info. Learned from own cancer that fasting helps. Remembered-Starve the body of calories but not of nutrition: micronutrients, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, ….. We need nutrition for so many processes, including loosing weight for those people who just want to get slimmer and trimmer.
Thanks for all the help Dr. Berg! I got liver trouble 3 months ago, eating way too much dry, white junk bread. It was just the cheapest stuff we could buy. Our mountain farm got overrun by rebels and we couldn't farm anymore. I kinda knew this was the liver protesting and switched immediately to 5 eggs for breakfast and I didn't need anything else to eat till 6PM, where I chose one avocado. I know that's not exactly a balanced diet, but it is no carbs and no sugar. 4 months on, the itchy lines on my legs are not gone. At least I'm not yellow. I'd greatly appreciate food suggestions in the lower price range, to avoid the lack of critical nutrients... My wife ate the same crap, but she's younger, she has no symptoms.
As a muslim who fasts one month (Ramdan) yearly since almost my whole life i’ve never really understood the health benefits of fasting because we were more focused on the spirituals and morals of fasting we know its good for our health but not specific details, rn I’m amazed! I always used to skip fasting 2 days a week because it was optional, but after watching your videos it just made me realize that i was missing alot. Thank you Dr Eric for boosting my faith and health ❤️
@@connielok5900 no, it is just monday and thursday, The pre-sunrise to sunset fast lasts anywhere from 10 to 19 hours depending on where in the world you are.
@@connielok5900 no we only start fasting from sunrise till sunset. Monday and Thursday and you can’t drink water btw until you break your fasting. I always eat a banana before I sleep it helps alot with the thirst and hunger challenge. wish you an easy journey with fasting 🙏
This video motivates me to fast more often. I didn't know that fasting can prevent you from aging. Thank you so much Dr Berg. I'd like to add that virgin coconut oil is also good in preventing wrinkles and removing the black spots on my face.
Hi is virgin coconut oil safe for face,as I use to apply daily in night but some people say coconut oil should not be used for face as it will create more problems ,leads acne Is it so ?
@@AS53246 I've tried putting virgin coconut oil in my face and it works for me, my skin was moisturised and youthful looking. Pimple marks started fading too. Just use the cold-pressed ones.
@@AS53246 virgin coconut oil contains lauric acid that can prevent any skin problem and the cold pressed one is the best. You can use it any time you like.
the long term cure would be the abolishment of meritocracy, the establishment of economic equality as well as resolving the abundance of other socioeconomic issues... but just like manny treatments this requires allot of effort and unlike usual treatment the adherance of others influences your treatment...
I would like a video on Bell’s Palsy. I honestly can’t find a video on that topic. Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate you a lot!
I had Covid, didn't eat for two weeks. Always had acne on my back and blemishes on my body... When Covid subsided (I was sick for months, but the actual infection, when I was no longer infected) I didn't have any blemishes on my body.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 by C do you mean Covid? If so when I got it I wasn't vaccinated, it was Delta that I got so it hit me hard. I ended up with diabetes and problems with my blood. Unfortunately after getting the vaccine I ended up having issues with my heart so it's been a rough year. As for vitamin D I've been taking it since Covid started. My doctor never said anything about any issues with vitamins but I'm in Canada and as much as the rest of the world might think our health cares great... in my life I've found it to be a very very slow working fast food approach. I watch all of Dr. Berg's videos and it's had a huge positive impact on the issues I've recently got. I'm 38 so I'm hoping I'm young enough to make a real positive meaningful change. But Dr. Berg is fantastic for learning all these things. One thing I'll say is that if not for Dr. Berg and learning about the importance of magnesium my life would be a lot less comfortable.
@@jerry4249 Good for you! I suggest you test your vitamin d & omega 3 so you can see your body’s ability to digest and absorb these because it can be very different from one situation to the next. Intake doesn’t mean absorption.
I had a similar experience, 5-6 days after I got Covid I used to eat multiple different vitamins each day through pills and 2 meals a day with a 4-5 litres of water daily, my skin never looked better. Literally the face cleaned itself entirely after 23 years. Still not quite sure if that's about vitamins but it seemed like that to me.
This is such a great video! Dr. Berg has made it so simple, broke it down to the basics for starting, then gave us more information to supercharge our efforts! Dr. Berg, HE'S THE MAN!
Careful. Acne isn’t always caused by the same issue. I thought it was diet related (and I was already eating a healthy diet) and it turns out all of the fasting I’d done had had a negative effect on my adrenals, thus causing insane amounts of cortisol. Infrequent eating really messed me up
I need to put this into practice now 🙌🏼 I'm going through a highly stressful time at the moment... At work and home. My psoriasis has flared up with no sign of calming down and my skin has always been pretty bad 🙁 fasting is definitely something I will try. Thank you Dr Berg 🙏🏼
This video is a gem! So much useful information. I normally avoid promoting things, but I have to share the subliminal affirmations for acne on Borlest with you. They can truly heal your skin. All the best to everyone.
Dr Berg. My wife had fatty liver. She dropped to two meals a day and in six months her liver went back to normal thank you keep up the good work from Australia
And I'm sure that the two meals were healthy, which is crucial.
@@jeandixon586 she is very careful what she now eats and the size of the meals are now half the size
So awesome to read. Thank you so much for sharing.
I got fatty liver from sugary sodas. I cut them off and took tocotrienols by Dr.Berg's suggestion. Liver enzyme(ALT) came down to normal(25) in 3 months with only 50mg/day tocotrienols. Had the dose been 300mg/day as Dr.suggested, it would probably been less than one month recovery-time.
Can u say what her weight change was?
I love dr. Berg and I respect everything he says, but I could not do keto it was just not for me, however I lowered my table sugar intake by a lot and also change the way I eat foods, I make sure I eat a balanced diet every time I eat but i fast every other day for 24hours so fasting absolutely works!!!!! I can not emphasize this enough. I suffered really bad acne/fungal acne, for almost 2 years I was really depressed until my big sis told me to fast every other day, in one day I immediately saw results. No kidding!! Fasting works and I hope who ever reads this tries it! Not for the weak but if you want to change your health and skin it has to be done. Skin care products can only help but so much. Sorry for the long comment but I’m hoping someone reads this and it helps them out 💕
@@Truth15freedom Yes! Those "vegetable" oils and margarines are pure poison. Dr Berg and other online doctors have explained these nefarious non-foods in detail.
@@Truth15freedom Agreed on both. Sugar & seeds oils must be cut off. Plus adding omega 3 foods. In my case, I see a big difference with cod liver oil, 3 cans / week in summer.
Try adding Zinc, vitamin E and B3(niacin if you can stomach the itch, niacinamide if not).
Fasting is not for the weak? Keto is MUCH easier to do than fasting! 🙃
@@pramuanchutham7355 I can attest to B vitamins. The last time my skin was this clear was on a pill (the first 7 estrogen pills).
As a muslim we keep fasting for 30 days without drinking and eating .....we do eat in early morning then then directly on evening.....but the thing is that everytime we do these it keeps up active and mind fresh and even the skin clear..... But i loved the way how Dr. Eric has explained these everything very nicely..... Proud 😎

I'm not a Muslim. I come from a Church minority that practices fasting. We don't drink alcohol, tea, and coffee.
Ramadan isn't a fast. You stuff your faces after sundown and actually GAIN WEIGHT on average. You don't get fat on a real fast. You just flip eating time with non-eating time, day for night. You don't get clear skin during Ramadan, so don't lie. You get fat.
Between Dr Berg and Dr Berry,- two years ago I was diagnosed with fatty liver, HBP and extremely high triglyceride, after fasting 16:8 and reduce carb intake my health went back to normal. So thanks to you both.
I lost 50, stop all sugars breads and pasta, no more HBP and cholesterol meds, my doctor is very impressed and i have more energy than when I was in my 30's, Get mad at myself for not learning all this sooner, but our bodies are so amazing that we regenerate health very quick 👍🏽
You should also check out Dr. Bergman. But he’s highly censored and his videos are always getting deleted by RUclips so you have to watch them immediately before the truth police/big pharma takes them down.
My mother wouldn't listen to me until I told her that Doctors Oz and Stork recommend intermittent fasting. I'm old enough to remember Dr. Atkins being vilified in the 80's for writing a book endorsing ketogenic diet. This was during the low fat/high carb craze. Muffins, bread, skim milk, cereal, bagels without butter, fat free everything and no eggs or olive oil... I couldn't understand why I felt better and got way better results in the gym when I ate high protein while giving up starchy carbs in the early 90's. I felt like a weirdo. Well, we all know better these days.
How you diagnosed you have a fatty liver?
@@aishadar9952 it started with high ALT\AST from the liver i.e. blood work. Then doctor refer to like an ultra sound scan. The scan will identify whether you have fatty liver or any damages.
My body was covered with acne from head to toe. I tried everything.
I had almost given up, but then I started fasting, gave up sugar and started keto.
Within 2 weeks I noticed a difference. Now 2 months later my skin is so smooth it's like babies skin.

I agree. A coworker of mine did 30 days of water fast and lost a lot of weight but her skin looked amazing and she all of a sudden appeared taller to me plus her hair looked shinier. Everything about her looked young and healthy.
Wow, did she document this! These successes would help a whole lot of people.
I think your coworker was a Muslim because Muslim’s fasts for 30 days in the month of Ramadan. And yes fasting has lost of benefits
Woow 30 days. She didnt eat anything?
She is not Muslim. She did it as a push to lose weight. She was coming to work and living her life perfectly. She was drinking water only. Other people asked her what she was doing and she didn’t say. I was the only person she told. I don’t think she documented anything but we all saw very dramatic results and I don’t think exercise or surgery could do that. RUclips has plenty of people who documented doing fasting with similar results. She is the only real life person I have seen doing water fast and the result was pretty striking.
What hours did she eat and how much ? I'm assuming she must've eating some solid food during the fast. Have any details ?
Dr. Berg. I'm a UK nurse, struggling with mask acne, your videos have helped my face. It is nearly clear after two years, I didn't realise so much of this is related to the liver, hormones, and insulin. I am now passing this information on to my patients and colleagues and they are impressed by my knowledge. I love your videos, never stop! Video on mask acne next please 🙏🏼

This is true about fasting. When the seasonal flu put me down for four days I didn't eat solids, and my skin looked younger and healthier immediately. As if my body truly was cleaned up from the inside.
PR for the flu - love it! - disease is the healer - throw the bum out!
Absolutely true, I love intermittent fasting! I feel so much better, look better and the best part is my bowel movements are very tiny and almost non existent. Seems my body loves to take its time to breakdown and properly process what I eat and actually utilize most of it. 🤣
@@gustavrodriguez910 If your turds are that small you could save toilet water by just using the cat's litter box.... solved two problems!
Fasting is recommended in Eastern religions, Hindusim Jainism. There are days during which fasting is recommended like on full moon day. Also vegetarian diet is recommended but that won't work in west because there are not some many millets lentils fruits and veg recipes outside India
Apart from Ramadan, many Muslims also practice the fasting of the Prophet (PBUH) by fasting every Monday and Thilursdays- 2 days every week.
I do it, and it positively impacted my health in almost all the areas you have touched. Anyone with memory lapses can also improve it with fasting.
Thank you Dr for spreading life enhancing knowledge across. Keep up!

Update?
Survey done,. As a Muslim we fast a whole month of Ramadan and 2 days of every normal weeks plus some extra occasion days but i’m gonna start having 2 meals after today on my non fasting days 😅Thanks to you Dr Berg u’re always informative.
Paterson, in New Jersey is full of Muslims - and a lot of the women are quite fat.
After a whole day of fasting i used to eat so many carbs like samosas rolls with different types of high sugary drinks and my skin used to break out like mad. I hope to finish this habit
Yes
But I've noticed that the unhealthy things they eat when breaking the fast each evening and morning wipes out any benefit accrued during the day. I've been told that a number of Muslims put ON weight during the fasting month. Fasting for around 12 hours with no water to clean out the stomach, and then over-consuming especially on unhealthy things doesn't do anything for one. Ramadan fasting is spiritually-oriented, I know, but of dubious benefit health-wise.
@@jeandixon586 absolutely i’ve witness it too and it’s a huge problem since most of us over eat during Ramadan i wish that changed 🤨

I can confirm this information from personal experience.
I suffer from both Rosacea and Ulcerated colitis, the two are intrinsically connected. Keeping away from carbs helps my gut and therefore my skin. If I have inflammation in my gut, I get inflammation on my face. If I lapse (sometimes to do a controlled study), my face breaks out and my bowels are not happy. Carb reduction, probiotics and fasting has had an amazingly positive effect for my health, appearance and general well being. Dr Berg has been a huge catalyst of this improvement in my well being, his information and connecting the dots is much appreciated.
Great!
I’ve been fasting for 17 hours everyday. It’s helped with my depression and mental fog. I feel a lot more energy. I’m trying to do at least one 24 hour fast per week.
It helps me too. Yesterday I started to experiment with salty water (some kind of minerals rich water) and that helped me to fast longer. That also brought my sodium up to 2 teaspoons a day... I had to increase my potassium citrate intake too, but these 2 actions really decreased completely. Not tired at all and no hungry.

Fasting is also in Christianity ,, which is a lot better than Islam ,, becoz in Christianity fasting there is one meal per day
Fasting is also in Jews and Hindus
And then you break your fast with non-veg food, which is extremely difficult for the body to digest and takes about 3 days to digest completely. Lol

Thanks, Dr. Berg! This lines up with everything I keep reading on how fasting literally transforms the body from the inside out. There’s diabetes in my family, and I am super conscious of this fact. I have had hypoglycemia since I was a kid, and the last several years by A1C blood sugar levels were creeping higher and higher toward pre-diabetic range. In the last 18 months or so, I have done 16:8 fasting with low sugar overall. My A1C is now 5.2 from 5.9 a year ago. I’m so happy with this! That’s like going from “hey, we’re gonna need to start diabetes prevention” to “diabetes, what diabetes?” But I’m still very aware of what I eat and continue to fast most days of the week. I even have had very few hypoglycemic episodes since fasting. It’s a true gift!
This is so great to read. Thank you so much for sharing.
Dr. Berg is the best! Love that he is all about natural remedies not pharmaceuticals. The ability to reverse adverse effects is amazing! Easily understood also.
I wish I could have met you in my early teen years Dr.Berg you could have changed my life forever. I guess better late than never because you have helped me so much in the past couple months. Forever grateful!!

I had bad eczema and acne for about two years I was also over weight and unintentionally cleared my skin by eating just one meal a day struggled with eczema my whole life as well and it magically cleared I wasn’t taking any supplements either . A few months ago I started eating multiple meals a day and snacking from stress and my skin looks horrible I never realized how much fasting helped my skin I’m starting back up again today after watching this video!!!
Dr Berg thank you! I have had acne for 15 years I'm now 28. I have sibo that I learnt from you! And I'm now fixing my liver and gut and hopefully will have clear skin after this!
Try a green smoothie a day :) (can replace the coffee for this.. if you have gut issues, coffee on an empty stomach causes inflammation which would not be good for your stomach or skin). My go to smoothie is: Spirulina, celery, cucumber, spinach leaves, pear, grape. I've added MCT oil (coconut oil) to smoothies and it tastes great in them :) You can play around with different fruit and green combos, but if you have a green smoothie a day, your skin and stomach will thank you! (it's how I got rid of my acne for good, along with limiting inflammatory foods- so reducing dairy, wheat & cane sugar).

Hi Dr Berg, I want to talk about my case in particular. After returning from holidays overseas, having gained 5 KG in 1 month, I decided to start intermitent fasting as a quick way to lose weight. I have been suffering from cystic - hormonal acne since my teenage years to this days, I just turned 34 years old. It turned out that after one month following a 16/8 diet, my skin started to clear up, and now, after 4 months following this routine, my breakouts have been reduced around 90%. It has been mindblowing to see how changes in your diet that ultimately affect your sugar levels can cause such dramatic changes in acne sufferers. I highly recommend anyone suffering from this type of acne to try out either to cut sugar from their diet, or simply schedule their meals into intermitent fasting periods, it has saved me from going into harsh medication such as isotritoin or roaccutane or having to spend thousands of dollars in other invasive skin treatments.
Cheep and already fasting. Now I just need to pay attention to what my body is doing to repair itself. Thank you Dr. Berg!!!
I'd love to see a video on Depression. Struggled my whole life, just now looking into diet stuff and holistic options.
Depression is an excellent topic. I struggle with this.
Yes!! I am the same way!
St. John's Wart and sunlight everyday helped me out.
if you're in depression I would start with your hormones. I know this spent decades in this state until I found a hormone specialist. Added testosterone and thyroid meds with a few supplements and cardio exercise, I was fixed
We live not like human beings nowadays in our modern civilization. Think about this, and maybe try to change your way of living? Move outside the city and see how it is to live without constant rat race, cut yourself out of social media, and change your diet (fasting included)
My skin got so bad after I introduced intermittent fasting. I’m easily stressed out, and IF caused even more stress to my body. My hormones became a mess. Besides that, I lost way too much weight. I’m naturally thin and my body needs a lot of calories. I stopped IF and my skin got back to almost clear again. I don’t eat fully keto, but I do eat low carb. Feeling super fit and healthy at the moment! But I really do appreciate your video’s Dr. Berg. They are the best and you’re helping a lot of people! ❤️ Greetings from The Netherlands.
He made videos to help with stress, if you want to know.
Also on how to gain healthy weight.
Then you were probably not fasting correctly.
Doctor you are doing a grate job for all mankind . Thanks a lot for your videos , I watched your videos on fasting and fasted for 15 days first , then 7 days , and my breast tumour reduced 2 times , I’m going to fast again. Thank you very very much doctor ! God bless you!
Would love to have detailed video on 'autophagy'. What should be taken before we begin and step on this phase, what should be taken in between autophagy hours, how much water intake as well. And how to break this fasting phase in a right way (what should be taken after). Would be really helpful. 💐😊
Yes! He made a few videos that can help you immediately. If you search this channel/ his website or app, for words like “autophagy”, “what to eat after a fast” “what nutrients to use while fasting”, ect, you will see most of his answers.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Hi, 😊
Yes, I've seen most of the videos on autophagy, yet i had some confusions (majorly about what to take in between full autophagy phase 24-48hrs and how to properly break it with right food selection)
@@deeptichanana I see. Well he made videos on using a small amount of foods to re-start feeding. If I remember well, eggs and vegetables can be used without troubles. What to take? He mentioned supplements like electrolytes, salt, nutritional yeast, powders require less work for one’s digestive system.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 I’m wondering how healthy all of this is, if we need to take electrolytes, sodium, potassium, etc when we do keto or carnivore. Not saying it’s not healthy, I’m just seriously asking. Thanks! Also, I can’t find ANYTHING on Dr Berg’s channel about diverticulitis specifically...only IBS, ulcerative colitis, etc. thanks!
@@shar7508 Yes. I’ve been experimenting since 2017 with different supplements, with & without at least the basics. I’m way healthier than I ever was now, knowing how my body needs. Especially because supplements allow me to fast much longer. So different damages in my body heal, despite being physically active.
Truly can't thank you enough Dr Berg, I mean that with all entirety of the word. We need more people like you. I previously had lots of acne problems.
can u drink during this fasting?
That's absolutely correct info, it's true after Ramadan month, 30 days of fasting we feel significant changes in the body and over health conditions. The best practice is to fast 2 days a week (Monday & Thursday) besides Ramadan (once a year). Thanks Dr. Berg for sharing.
exactly
By fasting, you mean you don’t eat ANYTHING on Monday and Thursday?
@@WendyOryen no food and drink from dawn to sunset. breakfast before dawn and dinner after sunset
Even drinking water is too much
I am Hindu, from India.
We were told to do fast on Saturdays from our childhood which was passed down from many ages ago. I believe west need more doctors like him to explain the uses and many more scenarios...
Lol. Hindus don’t need westerners to tell us about fasting, health and stuff. Ayurveda has everything.
Don't you guys eat something while fasting too?
Liar
Fasting for around 23hrs now. Feels soo great 👍 Not hungry one bit. My skin looks so much better. Brown spots disappearing. Looks younger. Thank you so much for your hard work! Really my life is a million times better in so many ways. Would take me 5 pages of success stories…
I m fasting 20hour but dark spot still I got it after given birth
When you say 23hrs...do you do it once a week? Or everyday?
Can you please explain the difference between the sugars? Cane sugar, process sugars and the difference between those and the ones that we consume in our fruits!
You've been a life changer and saver for millions of people including me, I've stop consuming all sugars, breads and pasta,and only drinking water, I lost over 50 lbs since February this yr. Stop taking HBP and cholesterol meds, my doctor is very impressed
and i have more energy than ever before, THANK YOU SO MUCH 👍🏽
Yes. If you search wordings like “different sugars”, “cane sugar”, “fruits sugar”, you should see videos to answer this.
So very well done 👍 and glad your doctor has new data to work with! Doctors need to change their minds!
I have a lot of dark spots and pimple marks on my face and I have done a lot to get rid of this, but I couldn't. I am going to try this out. Thanks so much for this video.
Hope you do well.
Not sure if you knew this but sunscreen is important to help with the dark spots
Thanks Dr. We don't get taught this unless we have the diligence to find out for ourselves, earlier in the year we cut out breakfast and started eating healthier options and smaller portions for lunch and dinner. It has been a gradual process. Today we have been exercising well for 6months, no processed foods, no snacks, no junk, almost no sugar and only eating between 12.30 and 6.30. I have lost 8kg this year and my acne has gone down 90%. From today i am moving lunch out to 1.30pm and saying goodbye to sugar for thr next 5weeks. I hope i can loose 3kg more before our wedding! We are gettijg very fit and healthy because your channel is a great help. We also take cod liver oil, apple cider, green tea. Thanks!
Thank you Dr Berg. Apart from Ramadan we're encouraged to fast other times during the year and live a life filled with fasting. Mondays and Thursdays for example. But I have a hard time doing it. I'll try to do it now.
What Allah commands is for our benefit. u didnt nerd him you already had the best of mankinds example. stay firm in eman
Yeah, but the problem with your fasting is "Dry fasting" which has some slight problem/damage. But you can include water or salt water to your fasting and it will make it better to keep your body hydrated as it does its thing.
@@KevinGathirwa Famous Muslim fotballers play just as hard while fasting with no problems. Jesus fasted 40 days with no food or water. We do it every year and have no problems or adverse health effects. So I'm not sure what you're basing your opinion on.
Hey doc love your channel, I'm a recovering drug addict I was addicted to fentenal and other drugs like rock cocaine and amphetamines for alot of years, I'm proud to say I have been 100% drug free for almost two full years now and my body feels good, lm lucky to be able to say I have no current health concerns however I worry about my liver and kidneys is there anything I can do to help increase the health of my organs that would have been most affected by the drug use
You are amazing.👍👍👍👍👍
Yes! If you search this channel /his website or app, words like "liver", "kidneys", you will see a list of videos answering your question. You may want to plan some study time to experiment the data but you are in for a new improved life!

Jesus for us, is a messenger of God who was ascended from the cross and they killed someone resembling him. He was born to Mary while she was virgin. He cured many diseases with the permission from God. He will return some years before the doomsday and fight the anti christ. Then there will be years of complete peace and tranquility and then the end where he will die as all other living beings.

I failed at keto for years. I’m doing a weightloss challenge now and am way behind. This time it’s working! I eased into it by slowly decreasing my carb intake over about a week and taking a week off the gym. Now that I’m a little acclimated, Ive gone back to the gym on a lighter schedule (used to spend 2+ hours on total body) now doing 30-60 min and focusing on an upper/lower split. Even if I eat something mildly carb heavy, it doesn’t trigger cravings right away. I did not anticipate my skin looking better, it’s usually decent looking but it looks a couple years younger and a little glowy as my big cheeks get smaller too haha
So cool 👍
When I was in my 30s, I had red dots, called petechiae, across my stomach. My doctor told me there was nothing to do about them; they came with age. I appreciate you telling me what causes them and what I can do about it. I have actually moved away from using doctors for chronic issues due to not only this doctor's response but others that have actually misdiagnosed me. I now use natural medicine and my diet to keep me healthy and I avoid M.D.s at all costs.
What are those red dots? I watched the whole video he didn’t mention. I have them
It's good to be informed, and if you have health issues, it is wise to know and understand the how and the why in order to heal. All the best to you on your journey!
@@Bootcut What he said for acne, etc, is the same for petechiae.
What you wrote about moving away from doctors for chronic issues resonated with me.
Somewhere I read a comment a few weeks ago where a person wrote about being a biologist. He stated he used to work for a pharmaceutical company and that he will never see a doctor for a chronic illness. This person said that doctors are trained to only push drugs and that pharmaceutical companies incentive this while nearly enforcing it. Western medicine is great for trauma care, but not chronic illnesses or natural remedies. They don't teach healthy diet or holistic practices in medical school.
@@josephdockemeyer6782 You are correct, Joseph. M.D.s only learn about prescribing pharmaceuticals for particular symptoms in medical school and that's the only treatment you will receive from them. They only treat symptoms. They never bother to find the cause of the symptoms. Using natural medicine and diet are the best way to fix what ails you. I agree they're good with trauma care, but not anything else.

Yes, please!
Can someone turn Dr. Eric Berg into an application similar to Siri? That would streamline everything!
Love the information Eric shares. My mission is to reduce bloating, fatty liver (reducing the size of my pudge), and high interval (low weight) training.
I lost 4 pounds in 1 week, but I cheated with pizza (I know, I know--dairy and bread) over the weekend.
No, it's not easy. Sometimes I get headaches, but I push through.
No sugar was tough, but it gets easier after the first 5 days.
7-10 pounds is my goal (depending on my "pudge").
Then I'll start bulking (not eating more but lifting heavier).
One thing I'm struggling with is sleeping.
So far, I feel sharper and more focused (especially if I can get 8 hours of sleep).
You need to focus on making it through the cravings (hunger pangs).
Overall, I enjoy fasting (intermittent and sometimes longer due to a busy schedule).
Yes! Sleep quality, improved, will definitly make everything else easier. I suggest his you checked Dr Berg's videos on "sleep". You may want to start by checking your vitamin D & omega 3 levels.
Great idea I agree 💯 % agree 👍🏻
I would totally download 🙌🏽
Update?
I have a stressful job and I can’t imagine what will happen to my health if I’m not doing intermittent fasting. I simply do not eat between 8pm and 12pm and eat normal amounts of food and even desserts for lunch and dinner. I lost 20 pounds within 2 years and I feel that my my body can handle stress better. I also used to have a very hard time waking up early for morning meetings but I find I have so much energy that I’m even able to do yard work in the early morning. I don’t usually comment on youtube but I’m writing this to help convince people that intermittent fasting is not only the best you can for your health but also that it is not difficult to sustain at all.
I've had acne for so long but i didn't let it destroy my confidence and stuff like that. I'm really used to having acne, that i don't care anymore of course i still do wash my face lol . This video rly helped me thank you
Thank you dr. Berg :D I have psoriasis. And I spotted that also - I started eating 2 times a day 1 year ago (thanks to your channel). And when I was in Amsterdam in June me and my friend were eating 3 times a day, but we were walking at least 15km a day. Both things made my skin clear - less frequent eating and highly above average physical activity. Not to mention, in Amsterdam, cannabis. I've seen that certain cannabinoids must work for clearing skin, since it boosted the clearance.
Concerning carbs - what works for me is less than 100g a day. I try to avoid them, but I'm only human, so sometimes strong will fails :P
Is this man real??? I mean HOW intelligent can one person be?! Just thank you Doc 🤗
Someone suggested we have a “siri” of his videos which is a PERFECT idea. We all need this intelligent man “on demand”.
Already when I was a kid, in the 60s, my father was fasting at least once a year. But he was drinking water. I tried Ramadan when I lived in Egypt for a year, but I drank water. I lost a lot of weight and felt good.
Great 💯
I am Muslim Alhamdolilah and we already know about fasting benefits and I appreciate your work ❤
😭 I thought fasting meant not eating ALL day long and I worried about irritability (I tend to get “hangry”). This sounds like it’s something I could actually try! Thank you, Dr. Berg! Thank you so much!!
You're very welcome!
@@Drberg I don’t know if you will see this, but I have to tell you (and everyone that happens upon the comment) what just one week of following your advice in this video has done for me. Since I started getting periods (30 some years ago) I would get hormone migraines (sometimes throughout the month on certain cycle days, but ALWAYS the day before my period). I started this advice (the 18-hour fasting and very little sugar) during PMS week. I did NOT get ANY headaches! I am throughly amazed at how well I feel overall! I know I already thanked you, but what you are doing for people with these videos is a very good thing. Is fasting HARD, yes, it can be. But, this advice made it EASIER! And I am grateful. May the Lord bless this (obvious) ministry. 😊

I was thinking of fasting Mondays and Thursdays like prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did
N this video makes me want to start even more!
Thanks as always!
This is what I was thinking to start fasting on Monday and Thursday
If you want to start fasting more, try David's (Dawood pbuh) fasting. Fasting for a day, then break for the next day, and so on.

THANK YOU FOR THE CONSISTENT HEALTH GUIDANCE AND INFORMATION.
🤝🏽
A million thanks Dr. I like how quick, simple and easy to understand your videos are. Also, I personally like the whiteboard or when you show your notes. Thank you!
Thank you for this educational video Dr. Berg. I was 94kg 3 months ago, now I am 84kg and still losing. I eat one balanced meal a day and have adapted a low carb diet as well. I feel so much better, I have more energy, my brain is sharper and I just have more “bounce” in my steps. I also used to have very bad acne since having to wear mask at work (nurse) all the time. But with fasting and low carb and some skin barrier cream, my acne is better. Again, thank you so very much and keep being the beacon to a healthier world.
This man is a blessing to many
The latest German scientific research has been shown that all persons with acne had a shortage of omega 3. No matter which age. So taking omega 3 (cod liver oil) is one of the keys the professors say.
Hi Dr. Berg! I just took your survey and hope you come across the ideas I had for a mini series about systemic inflammation. I have suffered with migraines, joint pain, and what the doctors assume is costochondritis most of my life. Hoping for a comprehensive series on fixing these issues as they relate to systemic inflammation. Thank you for all that you do 💚
In a similar situation to yourself, excellent idea.
Have you looked into chronic magnesium deficiency yet?
No, I havent. How would you test for that? Magnesium is one of the supplements I take.
@@Jessiewantstosee the problem with magnesium deficiency is that it can't be tested in blood easily. A special test for so called free ionized active magnesium can be done but otherwise a cell sample would be needed and good luck finding a hospital who Tests for that. But doctors can Diagnose based on symptoms. It's common because magnesium needs vary wildly from person to person and our food has much less magnesium than it used to. Also if you take magnesium but only fulfill your daily need or less, you can still get a magnesium deficiency if you have chronic illness or chronic stress, get an injury, etc. How much magnesium do you take and in which form? It's important to spread the dosage out thinly over the day too to increase absorption.

Agreed 💯 This has been my lifelong program since I was 30yrs. With one exception. Absolutely NO SUN. Applying sunscreen 2x/day is the cherry on top. I am the happiest 55 yr with compliments everyday. Believe me, it’s a mistake not to
make this a part of your everyday routine. Happy to send pics with zero filters, no Botox, no fillers, no makeup 😊

I disagree on the no sun part. Sunlight is good for you but not too much. I heard sunscreen is very bad too
If you dont eat seed oils,chicken and pork you do not need sunscreen, sunburn are not normal !

And then you eat like monsters before sleeping lol.
I really love your channel Dr Berg for general medical knowledge. I used to fast dinner daily, but I currently have acid reflux, so I should eat small meals more often. I start eating 2 eggs daily from your advice to get protein as I eat little red meats.
Thank you so much for your time and information!😇🙌
Berg recommends one or two tablespoons (don’t remember; I think two) of apple cider vinegar with, or perhaps in your case, in lieu of, a meal to prevent heartburn from acid reflux. Take within ideally a 16:8 intermittent fasting schedule.
Before each meal, take a teaspoon of Apple cider vynegar and you will improve your reflux. I suffered and I improved a lot with it. On the other hand, for me is working great to have 2 big meals a day, the breakfast and the lunch. Once you improve your reflux, you can try to eat more in less meals.
Amazing thank you so much :) I like how you're not selling me anything like all tiktok doctors and dermatologists do. I trust you
One thing that fasting has done for me, especially a 24 hour fast;
When it’s time to eat I really appreciate the food. It makes you extremely self aware of the food you consume. After 24 hours of not eating, do I want crap or real food?
I am coming here after 3 months because I have finally realised the single reason why I went from 30% average to 85% average in school. Intermittent fasting-although I was doing it to get clear skin at the time- indirectly boosted my cognitive ability to the point where I was able to study 5 hours a day during the holidays and 2 hours each day after school. I would always skip breakfast for "clearer skin" but I never realised just how much it boosted my cognitive ability and ambition to the point where I could do anything. I was at a point in my life where I had never been before.
I recently started bulking and along with that my productivity and studying habits fell too. Only after getting onto a fast again I realised how much fasting and this video had done for me. Thank you
how long did it take for your skin to clear? i’ve been doing it for 9 days and nothing happened 😢
@@joconda8256 My skin didn't really clear. I think its because I continued eating oily and sugary foods from time to time. Maybe its because im a teenager and fasting might not work the same way it does on adults. Recently, I just started a skin-care routine and bought this 'Rapid Acne Clear' face wash from nivea and its been working. I also have made changes in my diet.

I got liver trouble 3 months ago, eating way too much dry, white junk bread. It was just the cheapest stuff we could buy. Our mountain farm got overrun by rebels and we couldn't farm anymore.
I kinda knew this was the liver protesting and switched immediately to 5 eggs for breakfast and I didn't need anything else to eat till 6PM, where I chose one avocado.
I know that's not exactly a balanced diet, but it is no carbs and no sugar.
4 months on, the itchy lines on my legs are not gone. At least I'm not yellow.
I'd greatly appreciate food suggestions in the lower price range, to avoid the lack of critical nutrients... My wife ate the same crap, but she's younger, she has no symptoms.
As a muslim who fasts one month (Ramdan) yearly since almost my whole life i’ve never really understood the health benefits of fasting because we were more focused on the spirituals and morals of fasting we know its good for our health but not specific details, rn I’m amazed!

That's cool.
Regarding c, have you checked Dr Berg's videos on this? Or have you tested your vitamin D & omega 3 levels?
@@experimenthealthyketo83 by C do you mean Covid? If so when I got it I wasn't vaccinated, it was Delta that I got so it hit me hard. I ended up with diabetes and problems with my blood. Unfortunately after getting the vaccine I ended up having issues with my heart so it's been a rough year. As for vitamin D I've been taking it since Covid started. My doctor never said anything about any issues with vitamins but I'm in Canada and as much as the rest of the world might think our health cares great... in my life I've found it to be a very very slow working fast food approach. I watch all of Dr. Berg's videos and it's had a huge positive impact on the issues I've recently got. I'm 38 so I'm hoping I'm young enough to make a real positive meaningful change. But Dr. Berg is fantastic for learning all these things. One thing I'll say is that if not for Dr. Berg and learning about the importance of magnesium my life would be a lot less comfortable.
@@jerry4249 Good for you! I suggest you test your vitamin d & omega 3 so you can see your body’s ability to digest and absorb these because it can be very different from one situation to the next. Intake doesn’t mean absorption.

I had a similar experience, 5-6 days after I got Covid I used to eat multiple different vitamins each day through pills and 2 meals a day with a 4-5 litres of water daily, my skin never looked better. Literally the face cleaned itself entirely after 23 years. Still not quite sure if that's about vitamins but it seemed like that to me.

Careful. Acne isn’t always caused by the same issue. I thought it was diet related (and I was already eating a healthy diet) and it turns out all of the fasting I’d done had had a negative effect on my adrenals, thus causing insane amounts of cortisol. Infrequent eating really messed me up
