Around 6:20 he mentions how manual labor can reduce stress. As a "white collar desk jockey", I can't tell you how many times I've pulled myself out of a funk by simply going outside to mow the lawn, plant shrubs, trim tree branches, etc. We weren't meant to sit around creating powerpoint presentations, even if it pays the bills.
Being in the oilfield I don't see it as stress relief every morning I'm going to work like lord help me get through this day. I always do. Sometimes lose feeling in my hands, sometimes it hurts to walk up the driveway 🤣
I was 160 lbs on November when I discovered Dr Berg, after 10 months I lost almost 40lbs!! I'm at 122 lbs, almost at my ideal weight. Im 32 years old, female and 5'3. I gained so much weight during college and was never able to lose. Not anymore. People in my life say Ive never look so good and let me tell you Ive NEVER felt so good in my adult life. I look super hot and my skin is amazing. Keto, IF, and autophagy have been key.

From kenya here and just saying thanks we have reversed so many conditions with fasting and proper eating.i want to request you do a video on depression and how we can overcome it. Sending you love and light always 😘
Now I know why my butt moved to my belly! I am an airline pilot living in a seat in a permanent high stress environment! Thank Dr. Berg! I think I am gonna switch my job !
I just started intermittent fasting a few weeks ago and I was just thinking the other day about how mentally I feel so much better. Thanks for confirming what I already felt
Love Dr Berg! Had trouble with gerd for years & kept getting worse. I’m 72 & Dr Berg suggested in one video that it may be an ulcer! Spot on, Dr Berg! With Tudka, potassium, zinc & cabbage, I feel like I’m on the road to recovery. Praise Jesus & Dr Berg!❤️
Thank you for sharing your story! I have had excellent experiences from this channel as well. ✨💜🌺 Dr. Berg is changing peoples lives for the better and healing people on a deep level. I have completely had it with primary care doctors that are misinformed and have no more than 10 minutes to spend with you and make these determinations and write the scripts out. I am so thankful for this channel with tears in my eyes, I am so thankful for this channel. I had nowhere else to turn. 🌺✨💜

I'm going through this right now and I'm only 39 and not even menopausal. It's been heartbreaking, especially bc I had an amazing butt. Crying a lot and feeling so depressed my body is being taken from me while I'm still in my prime. Thank you Dr. Berg for helping. Would love to see more on this issue.
As my arthritis has gotten bad enough to start medication, I told my doctor that instead of pushing pills, doctors should do more to educate patients on inflammatory foods. Dr. Berg has done so much to educate me and led me to more research.
its kind of sad and awkward from both sides... what can the doctors do? If they DONT push pills... they will lose their jobs and be repalced with others who have worse attitudes. i kinda feel sorry for them and their victims.
Boron supplementation helped me. Osteoarthritis in all my joints. Took 5mg/day for the 1st week then the same amount only twice daily until symptoms subsided. All pain is gone and it was bad. I couldn’t hold anything in my right hand.
That stress hormone cortisol deposits of fat in that area for whatever reason that’s where it puts it so you have to lower your stress things like adopt pigeons and being a cooler person literally
Just wanna say thank you Dr. Berg. After I found your channel, got encouraged to put myself on a a zero sugar intermittent fasting routine and I lost 9kg in the first month.
@@neemajose4886 About a year ago I started reducing my food intake and went from three meals a day down to just one meal a day and started to feel much healthier. A few months ago I found Dr. Berg's channel and his emphasis on the importance of avoiding sugar made a lot of sense to me. I cut down sugar and carbs intake to zero and started doing intermittent fasting, combined with the one meal routine I noticed a major increase in weight loss.
Thank you Dr Berg. Since I had an op for hip (and months before with severe pain) I have lost my shape. My case may be due to persistent lower back pain. I'm taking boswellia as well as K2, D3, ginger, curcumin - you name it - and my rear is coming back. Thighs also weak. At least stomach is quite flat. I'm elderly so don't expect miracles. Your video is extremely helpful. 😌

@@snowblo1 I hope it helps you too. I go to a Chinese doctor for acupuncture and he recommends ginger too against inflammation. Curcumin also. I hope you find relief. I confess I have a sweet tooth and I've definitely noticed more pain if I don't watch what I eat . Best of luck.
Thank you all you do Dr Berg. With all the people who hate on you especially on RUclips they really don't know what your doing for all of us. You are saving lives using food and supplements.
I’m 18 and already loosing Weight in my butt but gaining it all in my stomach and this explains it very well and my birth control and probably a main part in it.
@@mandeedouble1096 same to me! i was using the birth control few months ago my butt was full of fat and now if i feel my butt with my hands its so flat, it looks like if i reduced local fat in my butt. which birth control are you using? this is what i read on google: Hormonal birth control (birth control that contains estrogen and/or progesterone) can cause changes in the body, such as changes in body fat distribution, bloating/fluid retention, and reduced muscle mass. a lot of people also say it reduced butt muscles which makes it flatter, cause when i feel my butt i dont feel any muscle there anymore
I lost my butt during pregnancy with my first child at 23. And then I gained 30 pounds on top of that. My exercise has been up and down during the years. But now at 61 I look and feel better than when I was in my 20s. Got my butt back too.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video, Dr. Eric Berg. I lost my belly by .. NO refined sugar and using "Intermittent fasting" ..Then just ate the BARE MINIMUM of calories... It worked.
Do you mind if I ask how many calories you consumed. I'm a woman with a belly that needs to go. I tried a low carb diet and very limited sugar but it made me incredibly weak and sick. I lost weight twice before by going on a 1200 calorie diet and working my way up to walking on the treadmill 45 minutes a day but now with severe lower back pain and low cortisol issues I cannot work out yet. Any suggestions would be so very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. ☺️
@@curiousc9259 Fixed myself by doing a few 20 hour fasts, cut my sugar down 90%, I do some carbs, but not like I used to. Lost 42lbs in 5 months. Feel much better.
Incredible. This content is bringing me out of the dark ages of inherited nutritional ignorance and will benefit not only me, but my children. In this way, you are making the current world and the future a healthier place. Much gratitude for your efforts and I wish you had the tip option available because I would be so enthusiastic to use it.
Saved my life ! Your videos have taught me so much about what I've been dealing with. I have polycyistic kidney disease and was suffering from kidney toxicity. Edema in both legs ,unilateral cellulitis amongst vitamin deficiencies. You taught me the connections in my insulin resistance and the effects it's been having on my overall health. I've bee n trying to do intermittent fasting. It's a lifestyle change I've been working on I haven't been able to fully do the keto diet because of varying factors but I'm working up to it. The fasting alone has made huge increases in my ability to heal and helped to get me out of muscle atrophy and kidney toxicity has been cleared up for the most part. Thank you Dr.Berg your a God send.
My dad has that body type. I always thought it was normal, but it all makes sense now. He’s always been stressed out, he’s old school so he was never taught to meditate or worry about mental health. He works 6 days a week as a postal carrier. Consistent stress can affect your whole body unfortunately.
I thought the Postal contract in both Canada and the USA was five days. Sounds like he's willingly signing up for more?? Drop the day and work on other things.
There are few jobs in life that do not have stress. I am a nurse. I'm not going to give up a good salary, years of experience. and a career I love just because it's stressful.
@@leorising8074 The swayback posture creates hyperextension in the hip and lumbosacral flexion which makes the lower abdomen protrude more, making it look bigger.
I really appreciate you, Dr Berg. When I've mentioned to a couple of my friends how a video of yours gave me the information I needed to remove my debilitating sense of overwhelm, they told me, "Oh, that guy's info has been debunked!" Well, I'm sorry, but I tried absolutely everything else I knew (earlier this year) to get back to normal and nothing worked (holiday, sleep, increased fruit and veg, more exercise, etc.) until I randomly happened upon your video that lists something like 18 physical symptoms (cracked heels, chapped lips, that kind of thing) and what they mean you could be lacking. From that video I identified that I may be lacking B1, B2, and Zinc, so I rushed out and bought nutritional yeast and zinc supplements, and the mammoth ovewhelm I had been feeling for months was gone in a day! I'm obviously pre-menopausal and notice that my stress levels can be off the charts from the simplest of things, more than ever before in my life, and I've noticed that I sometimes feel literally sick in my stomach from the stress of things that previously were water off a duck's back to me. So now I shove B1 down my neck like it's going out of fashion - nutritional yeast, fortified breakfast cereal, Marmite, and also a multivitamin (that contains B1 & B2 among the rest) plus a zinc tablet - and it helps me enormously to keep my head above water. I also drink a lemon drink with magnesium added. If I don't do all this, the overwhelm comes back and hits me like a brick within a day or two. And now after watching this video above, I'll be adding even more leafy greens for the potassium and magnesium. Thank you so much for helping me. My best wishes, Lisa
Not every doctor gets everything correct. Even if few of his opinions were debunked, his diet advice is the only thing that helped me loose inches of off my body. There's also this prejudice against chiropractors because they're perceived as inferior to Medical doctors.
I believe that sitting at my computer for years and not really getting any exercise in is what caused me to have breast cancer in 2017. So to hear you say that these electrical devices can mess us up without us even realizing it, I believe it to be so! Thanks Dr. Berg🙌🥰
How did you found out you have breast cancer. Because I did my physical in March where I did a mammogram I came back with dense tissue in my left breast, then I did an ultrasound for my breast, then a biopsy under my left arm they said everything was ok.I was referred to a breast doctor that checked my breast because a that time the same left breast nipple was itching me so I squeezed it and there was this milk looking coming out I told the breast doctor he looked at it said I shouldn't squeeze it anymore he referred me to a dermatologist also now a breast surgeon I saw the breast surgeon in July of this year he squeezed my nipple tested milk looking substance on some machine then told me I'm ok I should just come back and do my regular check up next year, 2 days ago ago I felt my right breast nipple itching now the milk looking substance is coming from both breast, I'm so worried, stressed out because we now in August I did the last test on July 18 and the doctor said said everything was ok so what could be causing this in my breast I know I stopped breastfeeding last November so there shouldn't be any milk in my breast still I'm so worried and confused so I made an appointment to see the doctor at Jamaica hospital in Queens on Wednesday 31st of August 2022 please pray for me.
Well I stopped doing mammograms long time ago. If i had two that’s all. Heard the mammogram which is an ex-ray can cause cancer too. Also if you have a tumor the flattening of the boob during mammogram can cause the tumor to burst and spread the cancer cells all over. I would ask only for sonogram which is harmless and noninvasive. Not sure why they still keep using ex-rays on the breast. Makes no sense. Eat good diet and things like grapefruit or drink lemon water daily with ginger it’s a good anti cancer drink. And absolutely no sugar. Cancer loves sugar. Make sure your D3 levels are up as your immunity can’t function with low levels. We all have cancers cells but it’s your immune system that fights them. So work on your immunity mainly so the body has a strong defense mechanism.
Breast cancer due to sitting?? How and why God i sit all day on my comp and no exercise since 2.5 years I started having shooting pain in my left breast and itching nipples I did not go for any tests yet
Everything you've said fits me very well, essentially since I was maybe 19 and I'm 46 now. The greater part of my adult life has involved cortisol and stress. I've been living in Japan thinking I'd made some better changes to life but frankly, it's been very difficult and will be returning to England late September where I hope to make some better changes. Thanks for this information!
Thank you Dr. Berg. My mom had Cushing disease when I was growing up, she was a diabetic, and I miss her so much. Your information is appreciated soooo much. Iv been following you for over five years. Thank you for all your help. Iv gotten off High blood pressure medication, and fixed my GERD, thank you very much.
Thank you Dr Berg. I always felt this was my body shape, never attributed it to my over use of coffee and tea and lack of exercise. Your video topics are as if you know me personally. You're Blessing🙋
Thank you Dr. Eric. I really can't thank you enough, but you have indeed saved my life. You have also helped improve my family's wellbeing. Thank you once again sir.
Thanks Dr.Berg. I have a desktop Job and sitting 9hrs a day. no wonder I have large belly and flat butt. I hope I can motivate myself to start exercising 🥺
get a standing desk. You should be standing a lot of the time, my chiropractor hates to hear when you've been sitting down for a long time lol and your neck will thank you for it in the future. Trust and believe my aunt can't even move hers because of her desk job. My chiropractor told me that bones can fuse together if you don't get adjusted.
Thank you for talking about Cushing's Disease here! I've had it twice, pituitary sourced, both times treated with a TSS. Most doctors go their entire career without seeing a Cushing's case, so I think any information we get out there about the disease is helpful.
Thanks Dr berg - I’m doing everything I can to keep my muscle mass, control stress and carbs to prevent this. It’s hard to maintain a butt as a woman when you get older.
Under SOLUTIONS, some of these seem a little complicated (I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.) SO would it summarize as: (a) Eat healthy and low glycemic ie diabetic diet (b) Exercise (c) Take a full spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement (d) mindfulness meditation (e) stay physically active don't be sedentary, ie 10K steps a day (f) sleep well (g) get daylight (h) limit stimulants and screen time I'm a software engineer and student so I spend 12 hours a day at a desk (not optional). Any other videos you suggest I watch?
I am 61 years old. I have a flat butt and have always had a flat butt. But for the last two decades it is very painful whenever I sit on something hard such as if I sit on the deck stairs or a hard patio chair. It is very painful. I don't have any information on what to do for this problem except for to not sit on the deck stairs anymore. The only information I have gotten for this problem is when I watched an episode of King of the Hill, where Hank had a similar problem and could not sit on his ride on lawn mower. He went to the doctor and got butt pads to wear under his clothes and I am not going to do that.
I'm 44, on Carnivore diet and on birth control pills due to low AMH. My cortisol levels are fine and I have a perfectly flat stomach that I haven't had in my 20s 🙏🏻
Another factor in this phenomena is protein intake: as people age, protein is less bio available, so more high quality protein (as well as weight bearing exercise) is needed to avoid sarcopenia
Thank you Dr.Berg! Fascinating topic! I like swimming and see so many people with no butt and big belly and could never understand where this came from. Thank you for this information it really clarify the situation. I bet people that walk a lot on varied terrain including hills would prevent the body to use those large body as a source of energy as those muscles would be in use every day. Fat people have so much stored energy it is really infortunate that it is so hard for them to use that stored energy.
Was on a high dosage of prednisone for a prolonged period. It didn't mitigate the medical condition but it did cause lasting issues. Had to find a different physician to get into remission.
I took it for one day to raise my cortisol but it raised my resting heart rate to 138 and my blood pressure to 148/98 so I called my doc and he said to stop using it immediately. He called in some hydrocortisone but he said not to use it unless I started feeling very bad and just go in for blood tests every 2 weeks to see if it will raise on its own. Meanwhile, I have an emergency injection of hydrocortisone he prescribed just in case I go into adrenal crisis. 🥺 Can you tell me the long term effects you experienced using the prednisone? I may have to start using the hydrocortisone and they are basically the same drug.
Not complaining…… I retired from the Army and took care of my sis, huntingtons disease like 2,, thankfully I don’t have a belly.. but I lost 45 lbs of muscle … my sis passed , stress reduced , and I’m starting to build again .. if you are a care giver.. god bless ya :)
All I can say is that I'm hope you're happy with yourself Dr Berg !!!!! After years and years of your efforts to educate the world on healthy eating and avoiding the ( tasty ) bad stuff the real world effects on so many people is DIRE !!! 😡😡😡 For like many people I've had to have clothes altered and buy new to avoid looking like a slagging hot-air-balloon after getting slim - thank you Eric.
Once you acquire taste and a routine for plants and all the good stuff that Dr. Berg says to eat the bad tasty stuff like McDonald's and other favourite fast food chains become not so tasty not only because you notice the drop in quality of calories but because plants just have a taste that can't be compared with anything else. The fruity taste of cabbage and kale for example is just sublime and Jehovah has provided so many different varieties of them and other vegetables for us to enjoy
@@RicJG7 as omnivores we are designed to like high dense nutrient food, kale can't compete with a greasy steak as far as our taste buds concern, But yeah, healthy is the way
Thankful this hasn’t happened to me and I’m 41. Got my butt, no belly. I love eating loads of avocado and get my potassium and magnesium in my bananas and some other fruit. Thank you for the information Doc. 😊
Well it just sounds like you take care of yourself by eating healthy. You'll be shocked how this simple lifestyle is not the "norm" in the United States.
Amazing! Would you mind sharing how much exercise you do and what you usually eat? Have you tried IF or Keto? I’m trying to gain weight in my lower body & hips but it’s tough. When I do finally gain some weight with exercise my mid-section grows too. 🙄
I'm working on reversing this at age 66, but wow does my butt hurt sometimes from working on building back those muscles. I can tell that my liver is in much better shape and my belly has shrunk by 1/2 so far.
Good deal. Remember to work the traps, lats, and rear delts too because it's all a chain. I do bent over rows and face pulls for those, but there are others.
@@Leester-70 Yeah, everything leads to the butt:) Every time I start working a new set of muscles, I find some others that I didn't know I had :) Butt, I am getting there.
@@SunraeSkatimunggr I've been into fitness for years and I'm still learning and tweaking things to fit me personally. All you really have to do is never give up, the rest will follow.
Luckily this is not my issue. I have a big round butt and a 6 pack :) 45 and looking better than 20 yrs ago. Lifting weights works like magic. I've also been doing pretty much all he mentioned here as well. Ashwaganda, nutritional yeast, keto-ish (I don't do super stict keto...i do allow fruits and lots of veggies but no sugar or grains), intermittent fasting...often omad, etc. Also l-theanine helps with stress.
yes. There are endless y t chans for women & men on weight lifting. For women use small weights & your body weight. Here are a few channels "Sugar pops" and "Be fit" with weight lifting & cardio & hiit.
Well good for you, you seem to have have the pear body shape. The body shape that Dr.Berg is talking about people seem to be apple shaped. Bigger on top n mid-section, smaller on bottom with flatter buts. I appreciate this information.
Omgeeeee, my mouth is on the floor! Why isn’t this discussed more regularly. So many people walking around looking like Hank Hill and they have no freaking clue what happened to their body shape or how to fix this. Thank you.
That last part about EMF is 100% legit. I used to be in loss prevention and worked around a large set of monitors in a camera room. I had never been fatter in my life; took 2 years to work that weight off after I left that job
The only way EMF can hurt you is psychosomatically and this is indeed a problem for a LOT of people. Thinking that EMF is compromising your health can raise stress levels which then causes the kinds of symptoms you describe. Maybe a monitor job causes you depression causing overeating or other unhealthy habits. There's a million simpler explanations than the direct influence of EMF on the human body. I've always been a tech nerd. I've had multi-monitor setups even as a kid when they were still CRT ones. RIght now I'm nestled between a plethora of electronic devices, in an apartment with tens of other working routers in range. I live here and I even work from here. It does absolutely nothing as long as you don't believe in it. Unfortunately, that's not something that people can simply choose not to do.
@@Krawurxus I don't think it directly affects everyone the same way no. The only reason why it seemed coincidental was two friends of mine took the same job after I left. They were both very thin. After a year of working there they both had gained well over 60 lbs each.
@@Krawurxus Of course EMF is very likelygoing to effect your body. Just as everything else does. Only question is how much and how dangerous. Might depend on many things.
Wow. I've never had a butt and my belly has always been large even in comparison with my generously sized breast. When you say chronic stress and I think about it a bit I've been stressed one way or another for years. Now to start relaxing purposely and shrinking this belly!
I hope you have a back up of all the videos you have shared w/us throughout the years. It is abundant and incredible. You've helped so many people, that I fear this platform could flick you off in the name of anything. Basically because because you've been life changing to so many. Big pharma hates this. THat's my point I guess. So please! I hope you have an archive that can always be referred to perhaps on your website.
Threw my back out five years ago and several operations later I lost fifty pounds over that time and didn’t know why. Struggling to try and put it back on. I have muscle atrophy in my legs and suffer from nerve pain also. I went from a physically strong, able bodied person to barely being able to walk. I like these kind of videos cause it gives me some hope of maybe getting my life back at only 53
Lol that's the story of my life. Haha Got my cortisol down and body started to redistribute weight got stress again from life...weight and apple shape came back ugh.
OMG. Dr Berg, you have literally described everything i am suffering from and explained it so well. I am in shock. The butt loss, the huge stomach, everything.
This was extremely informative! I have lived with chronic stress after a traumatic event which increased my cortisol dramatically. The first step to healing myself was balancing my cortisol levels!
Big bellies didn't start happening until polyunsaturated fats were introduced for feeding chickens and pigs. Soybean and sunflower oils are making people fat. Dr berg needs to do a video on this.
Dr Berg, would you do a video on what you would recommend for people living on little income while also eating high quality, organic, grass fed, etc, or alternatives?
This would be so useful! I remember my mother being heaviest and the most unhealthy at the point where our family budget was the most stretched. Ramen, potatoes, pasta, are all cheap and filling. It takes a lot of organic leafy greens to fill up, and quality proteins and while grains cost more.
Thank you Dr. Berg! You literally changed my life 😃 I never felt any better than these times since a very long while, by simply following the tips you give in videos like these! 🙏🏼♥️
I think Dr Eric changed my life. Some of his advice is contradictory but the principles, particularly breaking sugar addiction, and reduce to one meal a day, are spot on. So far I am down 11kg (22 pounds) and I’m halfway. But I can’t get rid of the gut
Between Dr. Berg, my main source of internal natural solutions and Bob and Brad, the goofy most famous physical therapists on the internet, I have learned a lot how to fix things naturally through knowledge, diet, supplements and physical movement...low cost, work well, good quality of life. Thank You so much!
I have successfully reverse my PCOS within a month by God's grace. I use palm sugar and some traditional rice to reverse without any hassle. But my husband uses the same palm sugar and traditional rice for 3 meal, but there is no change in his belly

Thanks a lot for speaking about this topic. I have Cushing disease and there's not much information about it or people taking about it. It would be great if you could share more about what things a person like me can do after being treated with radiosurgery and meanwhile we wait the cortisol levels drop down. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks again.
Hi Gabriela 👋 How did you know that you had Cushing? I'm pretty sure I have it too.
2 года назад+1
@@thegoodnews6682 Hello! I was diagnosed with Cushing disease last year through several lab tests and also magnetic resonance (in this case high levels of cortisol are because of a tumor in the pituitary gland). I went through transsphenoidal surgery, but they couldn't remove the tumor, so they treated me with radiosurgery
A couple of insights on this: When I went thru USMC Bootcamp back in the mid-90s... I went in weighing a solid lean 170lbs. At the end of Bootcamp some three months later... I had lost over 20lbs and it wasn't fat. It was hard-won muscle that I had lost and mostly from my glutes & quads due to the high chronic stress that is the bootcamp environment. And perhaps an even more severe example: I remember those commercials from the 1980s with Sally Struthers advocating on behalf of impoverished children in Ethiopia and other developing countries that depicted many of the malnourished children having distended bellies but extremely thin legs and glutes apparently due to chronic stress.
The distended belly in those starving children is from something else. It’s called kwashiorkor. It derives from extreme malnutrition. It causes a distending of the belly, fatty liver and a host of other problems.
Have osteoporosis two bad hips replacement by time I was 40!!! After started back exercising walking lifting weights again to fight back!!! Anything else I can do thx Dr Eric!!!
Something to add to reducing stress might be meditation and/ or a relaxation technique. Get a massage regularly, take naps, hot baths or a hot tub/ jacuzzi if possible.

This video was recommended immediately after trying on shapewear I received in the mail 😂😩 I’ve been in survival mode for far too long. Thank you Dr. Berg, going to do everything you mentioned to reverse this.
exercise moderately, work a job that entails you to work outside to get fresh air and sunshine, eat a Ketogenic diet or go even further eat an organic carnivore diet, fast and get plenty of sleep(which I think is the most important in preventing uncontrollable cortisol levels)
Now I understand why I'm turning into Fred Flintstone

As my arthritis has gotten bad enough to start medication, I told my doctor that instead of pushing pills, doctors should do more to educate patients on inflammatory foods. Dr. Berg has done so much to educate me and led me to more research.
its kind of sad and awkward from both sides... what can the doctors do?
If they DONT push pills... they will lose their jobs and be repalced with others who have worse attitudes.
i kinda feel sorry for them and their victims.
Doctors don't have the time to explain. They are snowed under with work. Dr Berg does the research and uploads videos.
Boron supplementation helped me. Osteoarthritis in all my joints.
Took 5mg/day for the 1st week then the same amount only twice daily until symptoms subsided.
All pain is gone and it was bad. I couldn’t hold anything in my right hand.
I would like a little better explanation of why the fat ends up around the belly, as opposed to all over the body. Thanks for a great video.
That stress hormone cortisol deposits of fat in that area for whatever reason that’s where it puts it so you have to lower your stress things like adopt pigeons and being a cooler person literally
Doctors don't really know.

Can you explain how you did it
@@neemajose4886 About a year ago I started reducing my food intake and went from three meals a day down to just one meal a day and started to feel much healthier. A few months ago I found Dr. Berg's channel and his emphasis on the importance of avoiding sugar made a lot of sense to me. I cut down sugar and carbs intake to zero and started doing intermittent fasting, combined with the one meal routine I noticed a major increase in weight loss.
Thank you Dr Berg. Since I had an op for hip (and months before with severe pain) I have lost my shape.
My case may be due to persistent lower back pain. I'm taking boswellia as well as K2, D3, ginger, curcumin - you name it - and my rear is coming back. Thighs also weak. At least stomach is quite flat. I'm elderly so don't expect miracles. Your video is extremely helpful. 😌

@@mandeedouble1096 same to me! i was using the birth control few months ago my butt was full of fat and now if i feel my butt with my hands its so flat, it looks like if i reduced local fat in my butt. which birth control are you using? this is what i read on google: Hormonal birth control (birth control that contains estrogen and/or progesterone) can cause changes in the body, such as changes in body fat distribution, bloating/fluid retention, and reduced muscle mass. a lot of people also say it reduced butt muscles which makes it flatter, cause when i feel my butt i dont feel any muscle there anymore
@mandeedouble1096 Absolutely! I had one shot of depo & it changed my body big time.
I lost my butt during pregnancy with my first child at 23. And then I gained 30 pounds on top of that. My exercise has been up and down during the years. But now at 61 I look and feel better than when I was in my 20s. Got my butt back too.

I lost my belly by .. NO refined sugar and using "Intermittent fasting" ..Then just ate the BARE MINIMUM of calories... It worked.
Do you mind if I ask how many calories you consumed. I'm a woman with a belly that needs to go. I tried a low carb diet and very limited sugar but it made me incredibly weak and sick. I lost weight twice before by going on a 1200 calorie diet and working my way up to walking on the treadmill 45 minutes a day but now with severe lower back pain and low cortisol issues I cannot work out yet. Any suggestions would be so very much appreciated. Thank you in advance. ☺️

Saved my life ! Your videos have taught me so much about what I've been dealing with. I have polycyistic kidney disease and was suffering from kidney toxicity. Edema in both legs ,unilateral cellulitis amongst vitamin deficiencies. You taught me the connections in my insulin resistance and the effects it's been having on my overall health. I've bee n trying to do intermittent fasting. It's a lifestyle change I've been working on I haven't been able to fully do the keto diet because of varying factors but I'm working up to it. The fasting alone has made huge increases in my ability to heal and helped to get me out of muscle atrophy and kidney toxicity has been cleared up for the most part. Thank you Dr.Berg your a God send.
That's great.
My dad has that body type.
I always thought it was normal, but it all makes sense now.
He’s always been stressed out, he’s old school so he was never taught to meditate or worry about mental health.
He works 6 days a week as a postal carrier.
Consistent stress can affect your whole body unfortunately.
I thought the Postal contract in both Canada and the USA was five days. Sounds like he's willingly signing up for more?? Drop the day and work on other things.
There are few jobs in life that do not have stress. I am a nurse. I'm not going to give up a good salary, years of experience. and a career I love just because it's stressful.
I have this condition. Thank you for sharing this info.
Very glad to be of help.
Posterior pelvic tilt (often misdiagnosed as anterior pelvic tilt) can also be the cause. It makes your stomach look bigger and your butt more flat.
Pelvic tilt would not make your butt look flat, or give you a belly.
@@leorising8074 The swayback posture creates hyperextension in the hip and lumbosacral flexion which makes the lower abdomen protrude more, making it look bigger.
@@LordGodKing sure, I'm aware of what it looks like. It doesn't look anything like cortisol/ insulin belly though
Yeah, I had to work on that one as well. Years of sitting as a bookkeeper, and lots of bicycle riding with less walking didn't help.
Hip extension exercises can overcome this. This develops glutes and will help you walk straighter with better posture.
I really appreciate you, Dr Berg. When I've mentioned to a couple of my friends how a video of yours gave me the information I needed to remove my debilitating sense of overwhelm, they told me, "Oh, that guy's info has been debunked!" Well, I'm sorry, but I tried absolutely everything else I knew (earlier this year) to get back to normal and nothing worked (holiday, sleep, increased fruit and veg, more exercise, etc.) until I randomly happened upon your video that lists something like 18 physical symptoms (cracked heels, chapped lips, that kind of thing) and what they mean you could be lacking.
From that video I identified that I may be lacking B1, B2, and Zinc, so I rushed out and bought nutritional yeast and zinc supplements, and the mammoth ovewhelm I had been feeling for months was gone in a day! I'm obviously pre-menopausal and notice that my stress levels can be off the charts from the simplest of things, more than ever before in my life, and I've noticed that I sometimes feel literally sick in my stomach from the stress of things that previously were water off a duck's back to me.
So now I shove B1 down my neck like it's going out of fashion - nutritional yeast, fortified breakfast cereal, Marmite, and also a multivitamin (that contains B1 & B2 among the rest) plus a zinc tablet - and it helps me enormously to keep my head above water. I also drink a lemon drink with magnesium added. If I don't do all this, the overwhelm comes back and hits me like a brick within a day or two.
And now after watching this video above, I'll be adding even more leafy greens for the potassium and magnesium.
Thank you so much for helping me.
My best wishes,
Lisa
I also added Benfotiamine - great support for moving toxins and stress release.
Not every doctor gets everything correct. Even if few of his opinions were debunked, his diet advice is the only thing that helped me loose inches of off my body. There's also this prejudice against chiropractors because they're perceived as inferior to Medical doctors.

I believe that sitting at my computer for years and not really getting any exercise in is what caused me to have breast cancer in 2017. So to hear you say that these electrical devices can mess us up without us even realizing it, I believe it to be so!
Thanks Dr. Berg🙌🥰
How did you found out you have breast cancer. Because I did my physical in March where I did a mammogram I came back with dense tissue in my left breast, then I did an ultrasound for my breast, then a biopsy under my left arm they said everything was ok.I was referred to a breast doctor that checked my breast because a that time the same left breast nipple was itching me so I squeezed it and there was this milk looking coming out I told the breast doctor he looked at it said I shouldn't squeeze it anymore he referred me to a dermatologist also now a breast surgeon I saw the breast surgeon in July of this year he squeezed my nipple tested milk looking substance on some machine then told me I'm ok I should just come back and do my regular check up next year, 2 days ago ago I felt my right breast nipple itching now the milk looking substance is coming from both breast, I'm so worried, stressed out because we now in August I did the last test on July 18 and the doctor said said everything was ok so what could be causing this in my breast I know I stopped breastfeeding last November so there shouldn't be any milk in my breast still I'm so worried and confused so I made an appointment to see the doctor at Jamaica hospital in Queens on Wednesday 31st of August 2022 please pray for me.
Well I stopped doing mammograms long time ago. If i had two that’s all. Heard the mammogram which is an ex-ray can cause cancer too. Also if you have a tumor the flattening of the boob during mammogram can cause the tumor to burst and spread the cancer cells all over. I would ask only for sonogram which is harmless and noninvasive. Not sure why they still keep using ex-rays on the breast. Makes no sense. Eat good diet and things like grapefruit or drink lemon water daily with ginger it’s a good anti cancer drink. And absolutely no sugar. Cancer loves sugar. Make sure your D3 levels are up as your immunity can’t function with low levels. We all have cancers cells but it’s your immune system that fights them. So work on your immunity mainly so the body has a strong defense mechanism.

Under SOLUTIONS, some of these seem a little complicated (I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer.) SO would it summarize as: (a) Eat healthy and low glycemic ie diabetic diet (b) Exercise (c) Take a full spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement (d) mindfulness meditation (e) stay physically active don't be sedentary, ie 10K steps a day (f) sleep well (g) get daylight (h) limit stimulants and screen time
I'm a software engineer and student so I spend 12 hours a day at a desk (not optional). Any other videos you suggest I watch?
I am 61 years old. I have a flat butt and have always had a flat butt. But for the last two decades it is very painful whenever I sit on something hard such as if I sit on the deck stairs or a hard patio chair. It is very painful. I don't have any information on what to do for this problem except for to not sit on the deck stairs anymore. The only information I have gotten for this problem is when I watched an episode of King of the Hill, where Hank had a similar problem and could not sit on his ride on lawn mower. He went to the doctor and got butt pads to wear under his clothes and I am not going to do that.
Needs more muscle. Diet, reduction of stress and exercise will gradually fix this problem. Do squats and deadlifts.
I'm 44, on Carnivore diet and on birth control pills due to low AMH. My cortisol levels are fine and I have a perfectly flat stomach that I haven't had in my 20s 🙏🏻
Hi mam how long since your on carnivore diet?I heard some news that eating meat and concume coffee everyday can cause chronic intestine disease
Diet is no good. In the long run.
Another factor in this phenomena is protein intake: as people age, protein is less bio available, so more high quality protein (as well as weight bearing exercise) is needed to avoid sarcopenia
Thank you Dr.Berg! Fascinating topic!
I like swimming and see so many people with no butt and big belly and could never understand where this came from. Thank you for this information it really clarify the situation.
I bet people that walk a lot on varied terrain including hills would prevent the body to use those large body as a source of energy as those muscles would be in use every day.
Fat people have so much stored energy it is really infortunate that it is so hard for them to use that stored energy.
So you mean it’s not good walking at hills and stuff? That’s my only exercise 🥹
You may want to study goitrogens- chlorine and lugalls solution ( iodine).
Was on a high dosage of prednisone for a prolonged period. It didn't mitigate the medical condition but it did cause lasting issues. Had to find a different physician to get into remission.
I took it for one day to raise my cortisol but it raised my resting heart rate to 138 and my blood pressure to 148/98 so I called my doc and he said to stop using it immediately. He called in some hydrocortisone but he said not to use it unless I started feeling very bad and just go in for blood tests every 2 weeks to see if it will raise on its own. Meanwhile, I have an emergency injection of hydrocortisone he prescribed just in case I go into adrenal crisis. 🥺 Can you tell me the long term effects you experienced using the prednisone? I may have to start using the hydrocortisone and they are basically the same drug.
What was your medical condition ?
Not complaining…… I retired from the Army and took care of my sis, huntingtons disease like 2,, thankfully I don’t have a belly.. but I lost 45 lbs of muscle … my sis passed , stress reduced , and I’m starting to build again .. if you are a care giver.. god bless ya :)

Hahaha gotta love that (tasty)
Once you acquire taste and a routine for plants and all the good stuff that Dr. Berg says to eat the bad tasty stuff like McDonald's and other favourite fast food chains become not so tasty not only because you notice the drop in quality of calories but because plants just have a taste that can't be compared with anything else.

That last part about EMF is 100% legit.
I used to be in loss prevention and worked around a large set of monitors in a camera room. I had never been fatter in my life; took 2 years to work that weight off after I left that job
wow👀
The only way EMF can hurt you is psychosomatically and this is indeed a problem for a LOT of people. Thinking that EMF is compromising your health can raise stress levels which then causes the kinds of symptoms you describe. Maybe a monitor job causes you depression causing overeating or other unhealthy habits. There's a million simpler explanations than the direct influence of EMF on the human body.
I've always been a tech nerd. I've had multi-monitor setups even as a kid when they were still CRT ones. RIght now I'm nestled between a plethora of electronic devices, in an apartment with tens of other working routers in range. I live here and I even work from here. It does absolutely nothing as long as you don't believe in it. Unfortunately, that's not something that people can simply choose not to do.
@@Krawurxus I don't think it directly affects everyone the same way no. The only reason why it seemed coincidental was two friends of mine took the same job after I left. They were both very thin.
After a year of working there they both had gained well over 60 lbs each.
@@XenoGuru Good grief!!!
@@Krawurxus Of course EMF is very likelygoing to effect your body. Just as everything else does. Only question is how much and how dangerous. Might depend on many things.

I have muscle atrophy in my legs and suffer from nerve pain also. I went from a physically strong, able bodied person to barely being able to walk. I like these kind of videos cause it gives me some hope of maybe getting my life back at only 53
Look into DDP Yoga. Beginner’s series is phenomenal!!
Dr. B, it’s like you’re watching me get dressed in the morning! 😭😭😭 I have to get it together because this is NOT cute! 🤦🏽♀️
😆❤
More coffee, and walking in the morning with lowfat milk. Exercise more, eat less.
@@dertythegrower I hate coffee and I don't drink milk. 😭 Definitely need to get back on my workout regimen though. Thank you. 💕
@@lisah5784I'm so serious! My weight is starting to mess with my self esteem.😭
Lol that's the story of my life. Haha
Got my cortisol down and body started to redistribute weight got stress again from life...weight and apple shape came back ugh.
OMG. Dr Berg, you have literally described everything i am suffering from and explained it so well. I am in shock. The butt loss, the huge stomach, everything.
Hope you find your butt 🤞
This was extremely informative! I have lived with chronic stress after a traumatic event which increased my cortisol dramatically. The first step to healing myself was balancing my cortisol levels!
Big bellies didn't start happening until polyunsaturated fats were introduced for feeding chickens and pigs. Soybean and sunflower oils are making people fat. Dr berg needs to do a video on this.
He certainly made helpful videos on soybean and on sunflower oil.
Dr. Berg. You are a great artist :).
lol exactly what i was thinking!
Thank you😄
Dr Berg, would you do a video on what you would recommend for people living on little income while also eating high quality, organic, grass fed, etc, or alternatives?
This would be so useful! I remember my mother being heaviest and the most unhealthy at the point where our family budget was the most stretched.
Ramen, potatoes, pasta, are all cheap and filling. It takes a lot of organic leafy greens to fill up, and quality proteins and while grains cost more.
Because of Dr. Berg, I dropped my A1C from 8 to 6.3 in 2 years.
👏👏
Damn mr.berg I been waiting on this all my life 😭😭😭😵💫
Dr. Berg , thank you for very nice & untiring efforts to improve the health.
Thanks Dr Berg for the info 🌸might come helpful in the future, when I reach menopause.
Very glad to be of help.
As a guy undergoing lot of stress at work and personal life followed by less physical activity and lack of sleep, I can relate
Thank you Dr. Berg! You literally changed my life 😃 I never felt any better than these times since a very long while, by simply following the tips you give in videos like these! 🙏🏼♥️
Wonderful! You're very welcome!
I think Dr Eric changed my life. Some of his advice is contradictory but the principles, particularly breaking sugar addiction, and reduce to one meal a day, are spot on. So far I am down 11kg (22 pounds) and I’m halfway. But I can’t get rid of the gut

Thank you dr you really explained very well. 💯
When you mentionned electromagnetic field my brain screamed « charlatan ». There is no consensus on the effect of electromagnetic field.
I quit caffeine completely two months ago, after battling daily headaches.
Between Dr. Berg, my main source of internal natural solutions and Bob and Brad, the goofy most famous physical therapists on the internet, I have learned a lot how to fix things naturally through knowledge, diet, supplements and physical movement...low cost, work well, good quality of life. Thank You so much!
☆ Reduce norepinephrine
☆ Increase serotonin
☆ Increase weight bearing exercise
☆ Increase potassium with parsley tea
U change my life doctor
May God bless u
Thank you for this information Doc! Well explained and helpful. And Congrats! Your channel is growing big, and you deserve it.
Very glad to be of help.
I have successfully reverse my PCOS within a month by God's grace. I use palm sugar and some traditional rice to reverse without any hassle. But my husband uses the same palm sugar and traditional rice for 3 meal, but there is no change in his belly
Dr Berg’s videos on how to loose a belly could help.
Thanks a lot for speaking about this topic. I have Cushing disease and there's not much information about it or people taking about it. It would be great if you could share more about what things a person like me can do after being treated with radiosurgery and meanwhile we wait the cortisol levels drop down. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks again.
Hi Gabriela 👋 How did you know that you had Cushing? I'm pretty sure I have it too.
@@thegoodnews6682 Hello! I was diagnosed with Cushing disease last year through several lab tests and also magnetic resonance (in this case high levels of cortisol are because of a tumor in the pituitary gland). I went through transsphenoidal surgery, but they couldn't remove the tumor, so they treated me with radiosurgery
I am so thankful for these videos. I only have one life, and I want to live it to the fullest, thank you so much for being a part of that! 🌺✨💜🎁🥰🍀😀
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you Dr. So kind of you to have shared it to educate us. 🙏
Oh wow! Thank you so much! I'm so glad you found my content helpful.
A couple of insights on this:
When I went thru USMC
Bootcamp back in the mid-90s...
I went in weighing a solid lean 170lbs.
At the end of Bootcamp
some three months later...
I had lost over 20lbs and it wasn't fat.
It was hard-won muscle that I had lost
and mostly from my glutes & quads
due to the high chronic stress
that is the bootcamp environment.
And perhaps an even
more severe example:
I remember those commercials
from the 1980s with Sally Struthers
advocating on behalf of impoverished children
in Ethiopia and other developing countries
that depicted many of the malnourished children
having distended bellies but extremely thin legs
and glutes apparently due to chronic stress.
I remember my mother telling me they had distended stomachs from parasites and just freaking out.
The distended belly (especially if coupled with sparse, light brown hair) may also be a symptom of a poor diet with too little protein.
The distended belly in those starving children is from something else. It’s called kwashiorkor. It derives from extreme malnutrition. It causes a distending of the belly, fatty liver and a host of other problems.
@@williamodd
I'm sure the elevated levels of Cortisol in their young small bodies doesn't help, either.
@@williamodd yes, that's exactly what it is.
I'm 55 and have managed to keep my butt and not gain a belly. I noticed my body starting to change 20 years ago so I got right to correcting that.
Are u menopausal ? How did u manage to get ur butt bak ? Ty
Have osteoporosis two bad hips replacement by time I was 40!!! After started back exercising walking lifting weights again to fight back!!! Anything else I can do thx Dr Eric!!!
Thanks for who you are and what you do.
Something to add to reducing stress might be meditation and/ or a relaxation technique. Get a massage regularly, take naps, hot baths or a hot tub/ jacuzzi if possible.
I thank God for gifting you with the intelligence and knowledge He has.! I’m new and I try to find where I belong in regards to ur videos but 😯 wow, just so many! Any suggestions, probably from the beginning, right? I’m trying desperately to be rid of depression and anxiety, I’m 5ft and gained 65 lbs. Very Depressing. I’m trying to figure out intermitten fasting with keto but I can’t even get past the first day!🙃 I feel so defeated before I even get past first day. I know I probably need a bit of baby steps (embarrassing) because, my PA said my saratona level bottomed out. You mentioned invisible stressed, is that maybe me?ty kindly
Hello Dr. You helped me in changing my lifestyle, also helped me in loosing weight and in control of diabetes. Thanks. Congratulations on 8.5 subscribers. I am sure number 10 will be soon.

Great scientific video and well explained person. Thank you so great explanation and what you done
minus the stupidity about EMF lmfao.
You never cease to amaze DrEric
Simple explanations of complex issues…..a genuine skill….a model of erudition presented in the most urbane manner….🇬🇧
This video was recommended immediately after trying on shapewear I received in the mail 😂😩 I’ve been in survival mode for far too long. Thank you Dr. Berg, going to do everything you mentioned to reverse this.
This condition could also be caused or compounded by chronic Diverticulitis of the large intestine.
Thanks for sharing this info, it will help so many women reclaim their butts and sanity 👍
Please do a video on this connection Dr Berg, thanks again.
I lost weight/fat but couldn't lose belly fat completely. What might be the reason? Thanks Dr Berg
For more information about this please visit Dr. Berg's YT channel
Oh darn, you went there..Good for you Dr. Berg, we love you.
exercise moderately, work a job that entails you to work outside to get fresh air and sunshine, eat a Ketogenic diet or go even further eat an organic carnivore diet, fast and get plenty of sleep(which I think is the most important in preventing uncontrollable cortisol levels)
