at 12:26, I noticed an error. If you still see a yellow iodine color after an hour, chances are you have sufficient iodine. If it is gone, chances are you are deficient.
I noticed the same thing. The hypothyroidism video says that if the stain hasnt disappeared after 24hrs you probably DO NOT have a deficiency. If it is gone, has been absorbed, you probably DO have a deficiency.
The fact that you are humble enough to correct yourself makes you even more credible. It is normal to make mistakes, but to admit it and have the courage to correct it shows great character. 💙
Thank you for adding the correction here, but it might be worth adding a correction bumble in the video itself for those viewers who may not watch your other videos and catch the discrepancy and look deeper into finding your comment. Thanks for the great videos 👍
I can't be the only one that thinks (about a million times), "why can't Dr. Berg be my doc?" :) Finding healthcare professionals that look beyond the stereotypical 'response' to various issues like thyroid is a needle in a haystack. Thank you Dr. Berg. Your work is important to us all.
@Andrina1901 yes you are right, good point! I lost my gallbladder almost 30 years ago(was furious after I heard about the importance of that which regular docs say that has none) and 14 years ago had a total hysterectomy). 😞
@Andrina1901 Crazy people! I don't know why they learn for 8 years to tell me that my body came out of an explosion and by miracle put it self together so harmoniously! Ugh!
Oh absolutely. I'm in search of someone with his mindset to be my doctor AFTER I was told my doctor was not taking me as a patient anymore. I was constantly challenging her for so many reasons as to why I didn't want to go down the popping pill lane. I saw so many side effects with my parents and my siblings that I did not want to travel or to be told because I wasn't hypertensive "yet" that I would eventually become hypertensive because I'm a black person and it runs in my family... I was told that when I was 55, I'm 60 now and doing well. To be told that I have a "low-normal" functioning thyroid and be told that I would just have to deal with it without any suggestions of a change of diet just floored me. That's just two examples of many... I'm so frustrated... I just appreciate all of Dr. Eric's videos.
@@silvianencheva527 lots of Dr dont recommend talking soy products. Same goes to homeopathy. My expereince. I slimmed down for wedding using soy protein product. I managed to lose few pounds..but it changed my belly structure into like tofu😅. Dr told me this when they faced issue sewing back right after c-zer .
It’s truly amazing how many videos you have on so many topics with great information. If every doctor worked like you we’d all be so much better off. Explaining the root cause and ways to know what that is rather than treating the symptoms is how all medical advice should be done. Thank you for all your amazing work.
That is so true and yes, many thanks. I send people here all the time. ● Spent a lot of time looking for migraine headache info. Sad to say, I found nothing on that. Still searching...a relative is having that problem. Very concerned.
I like love the way you let us know that Google can cancel you at anytime without saying it directly.. you’re not apart of their Team. I downloaded YOUR app INSTANTLY. Dr Berg you're the TRUTH in this life where most Doctors hides or they do not know much. Thank you Sir Berg. California 💛
Yes. I have been tested so many times for hypothyroidism. The blood tests come back as “normal” but I honestly think the normal range is too vague. I have a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (and sometimes hyperthyroidism-almost like it bounces back and forth if that’s even possible..)and they even scanned my thyroid and said it was enlarged but “it was nothing to worry about-just check yearly to see what’s happening”.. never gave me anything to work on with diet or anything to know to help heal me. I react to wheat/gluten so I avoid it all the time, and I feel swollen in my neck a lot. I have many family members who have thyroid issues. Totally testing myself now!
Look into a castor oil pack for your thyroid and the whole body. Also, look into sea moss for iodine. Look at the video for real sea moss. If possible, get the sea moss from Ireland.
This doctor is invaluable! I have been told I have R.A. SInce 1976. I have had those 💥 nodules just about all this time. I was told they are from the arthritis, not thyroid nodules. That misled me to try researching in the wrong places. Who told me that? A doctor, so he didn’t know correct information either! I have NEVER found a reason why they showed up and they are painful!!! They are around my elbows and ankles. They limit actions tremendously. Finally a cause I can relate to and do something about! ( yes, I have low thyroid, too) I’ve been taking Iodine and T-3, but not selenium! I want these misleaders to be gone! Dr Berg, you are a treasure! Thank you for these and all your information! 🙏🏻🎯
You are not alone! I was dx hypothyroid at 17-18. I didn't find out it was Hashimoto's until many years later after beginning to research and asking the drs to test for antibodies. Several refused but finally one agreed to test. My antibodies were through the roof. Not only that, but for over 15 years, they had been undertreating my thyroid and my levels were never in optimal range. Fast forward to getting on dessicated thyroid, I have begun the healing journey. Dr Berg has a more extensive thyroid health course. I found it very helpful
did Dr. berg say nodule around elbow or ankles.. all he mentioned was reflection testing..didn't he? though I wish he shows me better video showing the way of testing..
Thank you for your dedication to nutrition & health education. I wish I was 30 years younger so I could avoid the misery of misdiagnosed, undiagnosed & under treated thyroid/liver/autoimmune diseases/chronic fatigue/brain fog, etc. I am down 20 lbs in six weeks, & feeling so much better! Looking forward to spending my days “Berging” your videos.
@@lovefaith1856 intermittent fasting & healthy keto. Sticking to Dr. Berg’s advice. I am also working with my primary care physician, who’s monitoring by labs.
Uh oh y’all, we done did it! Dr Berg is a verb now! I too love ‘berging’ on his videos whenever I can, tryina keep my health in check! He’s obvs the GOAT❣️
We love you dr. Berg, if RUclips takes you down we'll follow, I had a RUclips channel with 4,000 subscribers that I interacted with and they took me down a couple years ago for speaking Truth. ❤ God Bless, America
I’m taking thyroid medication for over 20 years and I still feel sick.All this time I haven’t seen great Doctors that listing and try to help the patients. I wish Dr. Eric could be my doctor. Your videos help me a lot.
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I’ve always relied on my doctor for my health. However, many times I recognized my doctor doesn’t know many things but very good at prescribing drugs without a lot of detailed explanation to me. Since discovering your channel, I’ve learned more things from you than my doctor. Keep up the good work! Cheers! ❤️
Although the world wouldn't believe in Herb's, I will because Dr. OKOUKPATO has shown me the power of which these herbs contain , It got rid of my 7 years. HSV1/2, what else can I say than thank you Dr okoukpato
I believe menopause tripped up my body and doctors put me on Synthroid in 2007. It helped, but at 66 that was the only med I was taking and wanted off of it. My kinesiologist started treating my pituitary and liver with supplements and I have been Synthroid free since October. It was pretty rough weaning off over 2 months, but I am completely symptom free now. No problems losing weight because I have been eating keto and 18/6 IF the past year. I have no doubt cutting out grains and sugar and fasting helped as much as the supplements. I’m still taking the pituitary supplements. T3/t4 normal and tsh normal. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Thank you for being a light in the dark world of healthcare Dr. Berg 💜 People/patients deserve to be empowered, educated about their health, and given viable treatment solutions for all chronic/acute illnesses. The healthcare great awakening is happening.
The MAIN AND FIRST REASON why I had a thyroid and adrenal problem is ... SIBO that I had for around 20 years minimum!! I had no help from doctors, had to do all by myself. I AM SURE A PRO-ACTIVE... FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, I was in quicksand, doing research even with very low cognition. It took a long time to figure it all out... HELL... But I am so much better now. TX DR BERG FOR YOUR HELP TOWARDS OTHERS.
My daughter who is closing in on 40 has never tested positive for hypothyroidism but can’t get anDoc to look beyond the end of their nose. She has suffered so much having her do this test immediately! Thank you!
Dr. Berg. Thank you for this topic. I really need help with my hypothyroidism. Not sure what causes it but still on tablets. You are God sent. I only wish you could turn your volume up so we can hear you better. I have to be trying so hard to hear you.
You have a gift for clear communication. I tried reading about all of this and it just made my head spin. Really appreciate your videos, thank you! The Achilles test... I'm not getting much of a reflex kick at all, either leg. Anyone else experience this?
2015 was major time for me, when i realized having issue with hashimoto. never took any kind of prescription drugs, but slowly digging material similar to your presentation here, and making connections, then hand picking supplements, careful diet planning, etc. year later, i was better than ever, even thought i became socially the odd one, not partying, drinking beer anymore, etc. this year was stressful for me, my mom passed away, so i let myself go with unhealthy and fast food all day long, and now is the time to go back and revert to the healthy life style. i know all it takes to get there, but still binge watching all your videos - it is so exciting to see i am not alone in all this, whereas i do feel such when talking to ppl in my vicinity, friends, colleagues, MD. thank you for such amazing content and support!
Dr Berg, you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I appreciate your willingness to use this platform to share information, your delivery is "hearable/understandable", and your gentleness is genuine. Be blessed!!
Dr Berg, you are an absolute Saint. For the past 20 years I have been living with hypothyroidism, after giving birth and prescribed thyroxine which was doing nothing. I recently began taking your Gallbladder formula and in 2 days the vertical ridges on my nails have disappeared. I am beaming... What is this. The mainstream medical system should be ashamed to walk the streets. I love you Dr Berg. Your information has transformed our lives... My God. I want to walk around with a megaphone broadcasting you xxx thank you infinitely God bless you and your family xxx
My sisters test came back negative over and over then turned out she had it. I have hypothyroidism too. I’m also on a weight loss journey and it’s so tuff to lose weight with hypothyroidism, but I lost a 100 lbs so far and have 120 lbs more to lose.
Check your temperature before you move around in the morning. the lower it is from 98.6 degrees, the more you have a low thyroid.I have studied this and this is the best, easiest test I've found.
You have an App?!? Yes!! Thank you for making your content so readily available. You have been a life saver (literally). Lot of love to you and your family for this gift you have and your willingness to share with the world ❤
Dr. Berg is the best!! Every video I watch adds a lot of value to my health and knowledge. He’s one of the very few that advises people on having a healthy lifestyle to avoid getting sick. After watching him for a long time, I can say that I really trust his opinions and knowledge. He also has that positive aura about him, that reflects how he wants to just help people. Thank you for all you do Dr. Berg.
I didn’t wean I just stopped! The medication made my life hell! My GP still won’t refer me to a specialist that knows how to prescribe the right dose, hell! My Gp doesn’t even test my t3 level 🙄 I barely had thyroid symptoms until I started the medication.
I had an atypical (for me) thyroid hormone test last year. It was "within range" so my doctor did not flag it and didn't recommend any investigation. I'm 63, very active, but have gained 5-6 lbs in the past year, and have other symptoms of hypothyroidism. I have been gluten sensitive for a long time. I probably don't get a lot of iodine in my diet. Will definitely look into this.
They always also say iodine is not an issue in western countries, but maybe it is actually something we aren't getting enough. Going to try these tests and see
Thank you for making videos like this! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos but my endo and primary rely on outdated/old school data that has left my body in turmoil, while doing nothing to help me till TSH stays out of wack, furtentl. I'm taking control and fix my diet.
@@jappykinoshita4959 No, my primary won't treat based on symptoms, only tsh, which is constantly in and out of "normal". And the high antibodies with typical diffieciencies with hashimotos don't concern her.
I would love for all doctors of today to be like you! Hats off to your efforts in educating everyone. I would love to get in touch and consult with you
Please make video on :- 1) Mecho-Growth Factor. 2) IGF - 2/3/4/5/6. 3) PKL. 4) endogenous regeneration. 5) Transient global amnesia. 6) Can beta cells repair themselves? 7) Tonic-clonic seizure. 8) SARMs. 9) Does Insulin stimulates protein synthesis. 10) Nonessential amino acids are mainly synthesized from glucose. Is it True ? 11) Benifit of Carbs & insulin in healthy Body. 12) Body makes Around 1000 Mg Cholesterol per day... If we eat 1000 Mg Cholesterol every day then body stop producing Cholesterol ??? 13) Can you survive without essential amino acids? 14) one more detail video on Neurogenesis. 15) Can cortisol burn muscle and fat? Both ? 16) What is " Turkesterone " And how it work in human body? Herb's :- 1) Valvet beans (Mucuna pruriens). 2) Curry leaves(Murraya koenigii).
If you have G6PD deficiency, And are chronically anemic like I was, I was taking dopa mucuna to help with brain function and ended up making the anemia a 100 times worse.... Because it is a bean derived product and with the deficiency one cannot Digest it properly ending up making hemolytic anemia😛 It is a super product when one does not have this condition.. Thanks for your Comment!!
Thank you Dr. Berg for providing so many much more useful knowledge that I needed! I had problems with losing my voice box a lot and all the doctors kept giving me were strong acid reflex prescriptions. My ENT just told me to lose weight. I didn't know how to properly lose weight and found your videos very helpful on going on keto and fasting. I lost 30lbs doing that. Then I started taking the vitamin Solgar brand you recommended taking Sea Kelp and it has helped improve my thyroid and mood tremendously!
Sending this incredible information to my family and friends Dr. Berg. Your endless tools for optimum health and invaluable resources are priceless for the world listening. We thank you so very much! 🙏💜✝️
Although the world wouldn't believe in Herb's, I will because Dr. OKOUKPATO has shown me the power of which these herbs contain , It got rid of my 7 years. HSV1/2, what else can I say than thank you Dr okoukpato
Dr Berg, I have so much to thankyou for. Fasting has been a miracle for me and I feel, look and work differently and better. I’m from India and a vegetarian. It would be of immense help if you could do a video on vegetarian or vegan options for a Keto diet while intermittent fasting. Thankyou
You can try almonds , raw coconut slices . Homemade paneer is a very good source of protein. If you eat eggs, then you can easily do Keto with paneer one meal and eggs in the other. Else you may go with nuts for 1 meal.
@@gahdzuwkz6647 no... not needed.. It is good.. But not essential... Humans, unlike other animals can get the needed nutrients from plant and dairy based foods....
I'm a vegetarian(since birth) btw (not vegan), and and I'm now 30 y.o... I haven't had any problem so far... The problem occurrs when someone suddenly turns to being veganism after eating meat for so long. Their digestive system is adapted to absorbing nutrients from meat (especially the proteins) and they get malnutritioned by sudden switch to veganism... Ppl who are vegetarians from beginning tend to know what to eat to get the required nutrients which otherwise are obtained from animal based food.
I like that Dr Berg always tries to recommend natural remedies, herbs and lifestyle changes instead of just blindly promoting whatever med Big Pharma is pushing. God bless you, Doc.
your videos are too good and valuable information. I am a certified functional nutrionist and your videos are so helpful for me in my practise. when i get any doubt with no thought i refer to your videos . Thanks a lot once again for your thought of spreading right information.
sebya,vy ochen' nuzhny lyudyam! Dr. Berg, thank you for being you and for sharing such important information with us. People really need it to be healthy. You yourself are a wonderful doctor! Take care of yourself, people really need you!
Thank you for all the precious knowledge Dr Berg 💕. Can you please address cases where people took radioactive iodine to destroy part - not all - of the gland and how it affects their health afterwards? Many thanks!!
Next time I develop a symptom, I’m going to my doctor what they say/recommend. However I will be researching a Dr Berg video because chances are he has one and it will contain more information that makes sense. I am grateful for your enormous knowledge and presentation of the information. Most doctors talk in medical terms that the average person doesn’t understand but since I have a 20+yr medical background I can read through the lines and basically most doctors are saying “I don’t know “ the cause but I can prescribe something for your symptoms.
Dr Berg- I diagnosed myself due to not getting any of the specialists not listening, I finally found a functional dr that came up with what I found. I tested myself through the Basel temp test, looked at all the symptoms I was having and came up with it. I also have hypoglycemia and therefore corrected my entire diet, it’s still a hit and miss with that if I try something new. I’ve gained 40 lbs since 2013, I’ll lose 5 lbs then it comes back. It seems like I am stuck. Plus over the last two years I’ve been dealing with swelling in my feet up to my knees, my dr gave me water pills and they do nothing.
Knowledge is so empowering and liberating! Thank you Dr Berg for all the great knowledge delivered in a concise , easy to use manner ! I’m grateful ! 🌹
I had hypothyroidism when I was 15 and was severely underweight no matter how much I ate. I also started becoming anemic and getting 8 cavities at a time, every time I would eat gluten my belly would grow so large and I was so skinny that I looked like one of the malnourished children from 3rd world countries with inflated hard belly. I had to cut off gluten from my life for over 2 years, began bodybuilding throughout that process. I went to conventional doctors with no avail, until I met Dr David Stewart from leesburg who told me it was high intolerance to gluten (not celiac) that destroyed the Villi in my intestinal lining which is responsible for absorbing nutrients . He also said I could have developed cancer in my small intestine if I had continued.
I didn’t develop gluten sensitivities until I was in my 50s and going through menopause (I’m in my 60s now). I don’t know whether that was related to hormonal changes or due to the type of GMO wheat we have now. I tested negative for celiac. When I was young, even into my 40s, I didn’t suffer from wheat gluten reactions. Now, I do. 🤷🏼♀️ As far as controlling weight, my best success has been IF and doing my best to keep starchy carbs out.
@@jerrylisby3440 Yes, I get acid reflux from wheat. It feels like something is tearing my tummy up. I can tolerate a little now and then. The symptoms pass. But if I eat too much it will lead to migraine and really feeling sick. Maybe you’re right that it’s poison, not gluten. It does feel like being poisoned!
That's so true! I had horrible blurred vision, I thought I was becoming blind, I stopped eating gluten and I swear the next day the blurred vision stopped
Thank you Dr. Berg for all your information! It appears you have made an error at the end of the video regarding the iodine test. To me the iodine would absorb quickly if you had a deficiency, not leave a stain after an hour.
Thank you so much ❤ Was told after blood work, i had Hashimoto's/Hypothyroidism and testosterone was 218. Been very hard bouncing back. Hungry all the time, cold,can't put on weight at 140 now. Brain fog. Been extremely difficult can't even work, because no energy. And when i look back about 1.5 yrs ago i was fine. But had gone to a dentist they freaking x-rayed me shoulders up probably 10times. Right where my thyroid is. just my opinion but,my health started to go down hill from there. Really appreciate you sharing because i really need it❤
We have got same story with you. After dental implant (4 titanium screws) and 3 x-rays, we got thyroiditis (thyroid inflammation). There is a strong link between dental implants (alergy or metal toxicity) and autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto or Graves. Even root canal's infection may occur hypo or hyperthroid. There is so many high ranking academic articles on this topic. By the way, I hope you are well now.
Dr Berg, I’m in the 10% non- hasimotos hypothyroidism. I had thyroid cancer and full thyroid removal 14 years ago and have been monitored for lingering evidence since then. I’d love to hear about the Causes of hypothyroidism outside of Hashimoto and what I can do to help stay healthy while dependent on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
Dear Dr.Berg.Please review the iodine test you mentioned on this video and please clarify if you meant the opposite: if the iodine is absorbed then it suggests deficiency. That's my understanding from one of your previous videos. But here you say if it is not absorbed you may be deficient. Could you please clarify thank you
This is so informative. I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism for about years. I take like 3 Tablets a day. My thyroid is within normal range according to my doctor. Can you please do a video on hyperthyroidism please. Thank you
Thank you Dr. Berg for all the videos. They are invaluable. I suffer from this and do not have a doctor willing to pay attention to me. So, I'm doing my research and self remedy
Dr Wilson who wrote Adrenal Fatigue, has adrenal glandulars and stress formula that helped me gain back adrenal health after taking them for 6 months. Of course keto and IF have helped me so much too!
bless you! seriously! i was diagnosed with HD 5/6 years ago, but resisted all the pills and treatments of the thyroid, but fixed my diet and tried to regulate stress... well, it not working too much in blood tests, i i feel ok... now i see maybe this is only secondary sign of something else.. thanks a lot
You're not the Lone Ranger oh, I've done the same thing as being my own doctor I didn't know what else to do. Thankful you're doing better God bless you.
I decided to finally take my health in my own hands through Dr. Berg’s guidance of my symptoms. Since I’ve been a kid I have all these questions about symptoms but drs had no answers. Furthermore, it seems to me the more medications people are on they really don’t improve, they just manage? I’m sick of being sick and tired!The biggest surprise of all was my husband felt the same way but he didn’t know what to do. We started taking baby steps by watching his videos and taking his quizzes. Wow! We followed his recommendations and my husband finally sleeps better, he has more energy, and he doesn’t feel bloated and tired anymore. He’s lost weight he has reduced pain and inflammation. I’m a hot mess on the other hand, but things are improving for me and I have a plan. If I have a question it’s likely Dr. Berg has a video with a remedy and an explanation. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
GREAT video, Dr. Berg! QUESTION: Pls clarify how OFTEN to take 40k IU's of Vit D - Daily? Weekly? Thx again for all of your helpful info and education! 🙂
I feel like you talking directly to me. Better get to a doctor. I am a VERY complicated medical mess! I started life with a diagnosis of a "spastic colon" at age 22. Car accident at 23. Back surgery opiate addiction (20 yrs.), breast cancer (stage 2A), back fusion at 4 levels. Neck fusion at 3 levels. 2 kids and one hysterectomy later...I'm so done. I need a great doctor like you.
Thank you Dr. Berg! As usual, your video was truly very helpful. I for sure have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and am now on Synthroid. I would love to be able to not be on it, but don't know what options I have. I have been doing the Ketogenic way of eating you are recommending and have lost 12 lbs.! :)
As nutritionist can you make a programme about the special diet for those who have autoimmune thyroiditis? What to eat, what to not eat and what is allowed to eat seldom.. thank you
Hi! Your videos have been helping out massively in recent times as I’ve been going through some health problems. Could you do a video on Vitamin B dosages? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Next time I go to the store, I'm getting iodine. Seems I have no achilles tendon reflex. My mom and grandma both have hypothyroidsm, and with some increased signs in myself, I wouldn't be surprised if I hear my skin make slurping sounds during the iodine test and yell, "More, please!"
Thanks Dr. Eric, I been following your RUclips channel for almost two years, read your books and it's truly amazing that you really helped a lot of people who's confuse what the best to consume and getting back to there right track of healthy routine.. thanks a lot from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you for your video. Other folks have said that the opposite is true about the iodine patch test. That is, if the iodine patch disappears quickly (say in under 4 hours, or even in under an hour) it means that the person is iodine deficient. Could you confirm this? Many thanks.
Hi, Dr. Berg. I know veganism is not your thing but many people engage in it for, what are for them, ethical reasons. When you speak of the keto diet, can you also quickly refer to vegan keto and, if you have time, how to meet nutritional needs on a vegan/ vegan keto diet? And/ or link already existent videos of yours about this subject in the video description? Thanks for all the good you do and the great information you consistently put out into the world. :)
Thank you Dr Berg. I thought that it's the opposite that iodine patch should stay on your skin for longer as a sign that your body is not hungry for it as it has enough already 🤔
I thought you said before that the iodine patch would disappear rapidly if deficient. This te you said it would remain. Which is it? Blessings and thanks!
Dear Dr Berg you explain the thyroid patch test exactly in the opposite way, and over 24 hrs in another video (HYPOTHYROIDISM: Don’t Ignore These 7 Early Warning Signs). So could you re-edit the wrong one and let us know how it is really done ? Thank you so much! I am really grateful for your work.
Nice to hear some common sense about Thyroid. Thanks. Had Epstein-Barr and was diagnosed as auto-immune on many levels. My system totally rejected Synthroid and I won't touch the porcine thyroid (too many ingredients that are not thyroid). Lived like this for 40 years. Kept getting tested and T4 was highT3 very low. Have HCV (over 50 years and it's from a transfusion, not stupidity). Last year I spoke to an endocrinologist who was ready to put me on Metaformin and porcine thyroid. She won't talk to me again -- I already knew what my bloodwork showed (I'm living Keto!) and refused the porcine, bought a cleaner product. She didn't like that at all -- told me alternatives weren't a part of her training. Pay $50 a month out of my own pocket because it's not Pharma, and so not covered. But it works! Whole Gland Desiccated Bovine Thyroid. My craving for seaweed went away in a week. I'd always craved the seaweed, and the craving vanished.(If only my craving for sweet would vanish as easily). Ultrasound showed nodes on/in the gland before we started treatment. It's been nearly a year. Bloodwork shows my thyroid gland is no longer trying to fill the cellular needs (ie: working overtime), the antibodies are still in circulation and so I'll be taking the caps of desiccated bovine thyroid until the antibodies stop. After a year, I am losing less hair. Don't think it's growing back, but I'm 72 and recently started taking DHEA because it seems my ovaries have disappeared... Can't be found by ultrasound. So maybe my hair will grow back, be nice to have eyebrows and eyelashes again. With the combination of the bovine thyroid and the DHEA I find I sleep better and don't hit the wall (need a nap) as often as I did.
@@karmasutra4774 Searched the internet. Found Nutri-meds, which offers capsules without additives. There are other companies, but Nutri-meds ships from the US and I have no complaints.
Amazing info. I love all your videos but this one hit home. I went to my doctor with all the symptoms and he did blood work and I was right on the line for a thyroid issue but he blew me off about it. Was so frustrating! Maybe I should try one Brazil nut a day
I noticed a firm lump on my neck, my neck was also quite swollen (goitre) and it was causing a lot of discomfort and I had difficulty swallowing which was why I went to my GP. After blood tests (thyroid function was normal), x-rays, ultrasound and biopsy I was booked to have right hemithyroidectomy surgery. I still have some nodules on the left side, what happens from here I'm unsure, I'm booked for my follow up appointment next week. Even though it has only been 12 days since surgery and recovery was slow due to nausea and a cold, I already feel much better, with less brain fog and so I'm looking forward to the other symptoms you mentioned in the video to subside. I'm definitely considering a keto diet. Family history of thyroid problems, so I've ensured my children are aware of what to look out for. Thank you for such an informative video. I suspect I did have hypothyroidism for a very long time and it just went undetected.
I've read several articles on iodine painting tests and yours is the opposite of what the others are saying, that is it should take 18 to 24 hours for the iodine to disappear if you are not deficient, quicker absorption means you are deficient. It seems logical to me that if you are deficient it would be absorbed quicker.
at 12:26, I noticed an error. If you still see a yellow iodine color after an hour, chances are you have sufficient iodine. If it is gone, chances are you are deficient.
I noticed the same thing. The hypothyroidism video says that if the stain hasnt disappeared after 24hrs you probably DO NOT have a deficiency. If it is gone, has been absorbed, you probably DO have a deficiency.
I noticed it myself after watching your most recent video on hypothyroidism, was going to post it, glad you caught it as well.
Yes I noticed it and I was about to post a comment, but luckily I saw this comment from you clearing the issue. Thanx alot Doc.
The fact that you are humble enough to correct yourself makes you even more credible. It is normal to make mistakes, but to admit it and have the courage to correct it shows great character. 💙
Thank you for adding the correction here, but it might be worth adding a correction bumble in the video itself for those viewers who may not watch your other videos and catch the discrepancy and look deeper into finding your comment.
Thanks for the great videos 👍

To be told that I have a "low-normal" functioning thyroid and be told that I would just have to deal with it without any suggestions of a change of diet just floored me. That's just two examples of many... I'm so frustrated... I just appreciate all of Dr. Eric's videos.
Dr Berg you’re the Goat. My girl had stage 2 thyroid cancer and we got rid of soy thanks to your videos and today she is cancer free!!!
Praise the Lord! Tfs. To everyone reading this, Jesus loves you!!
@@88niteowl88 Amen 🙏
Riiiight
Wait, you are saying your girlfriend overcame cancer just because she stopped eating products containing soy? That would be amazing!
@@silvianencheva527 lots of Dr dont recommend talking soy products. Same goes to homeopathy.
My expereince. I slimmed down for wedding using soy protein product. I managed to lose few pounds..but it changed my belly structure into like tofu😅. Dr told me this when they faced issue sewing back right after c-zer .
I WAS JUST DIAGNOSED AND HAVE COMPLAINING TO DOCTORS FOR OVER 15 YEARS. IM SMARTER THAN THEY ARE.
It’s truly amazing how many videos you have on so many topics with great information. If every doctor worked like you we’d all be so much better off. Explaining the root cause and ways to know what that is rather than treating the symptoms is how all medical advice should be done. Thank you for all your amazing work.
That is so true and yes, many thanks. I send people here all the time.
● Spent a lot of time looking for migraine headache info. Sad to say, I found nothing on that. Still searching...a relative is having that problem. Very concerned.
Ok
Yes, I agree, we need more doctors to put in more effort! They just try and rush you out to get to the next patient. 🥺
@Cheerful Blonde I vote for him with you!

Yes. I have been tested so many times for hypothyroidism. The blood tests come back as “normal” but I honestly think the normal range is too vague. I have a lot of the symptoms of hypothyroidism (and sometimes hyperthyroidism-almost like it bounces back and forth if that’s even possible..)and they even scanned my thyroid and said it was enlarged but “it was nothing to worry about-just check yearly to see what’s happening”.. never gave me anything to work on with diet or anything to know to help heal me. I react to wheat/gluten so I avoid it all the time, and I feel swollen in my neck a lot.
I have many family members who have thyroid issues. Totally testing myself now!
Most doctors including endocrinologists only test the TSH in the blood when they really need to do a full thyroid panel.
test for antibodies
Did they test you for TPO &TG antibodies?
Look into a castor oil pack for your thyroid and the whole body. Also, look into sea moss for iodine. Look at the video for real sea moss. If possible, get the sea moss from Ireland.
Same!
This doctor is invaluable! I have been told I have R.A. SInce 1976. I have had those 💥 nodules just about all this time. I was told they are from the arthritis, not thyroid nodules. That misled me to try researching in the wrong places. Who told me that? A doctor, so he didn’t know correct information either! I have NEVER found a reason why they showed up and they are painful!!! They are around my elbows and ankles. They limit actions tremendously.
Finally a cause I can relate to and do something about! ( yes, I have low thyroid, too) I’ve been taking Iodine and T-3, but not selenium! I want these misleaders to be gone!
Dr Berg, you are a treasure! Thank you for these and all your information! 🙏🏻🎯
You are not alone! I was dx hypothyroid at 17-18. I didn't find out it was Hashimoto's until many years later after beginning to research and asking the drs to test for antibodies. Several refused but finally one agreed to test. My antibodies were through the roof. Not only that, but for over 15 years, they had been undertreating my thyroid and my levels were never in optimal range. Fast forward to getting on dessicated thyroid, I have begun the healing journey. Dr Berg has a more extensive thyroid health course. I found it very helpful
did Dr. berg say nodule around elbow or ankles.. all he mentioned was reflection testing..didn't he? though I wish he shows me better video showing the way of testing..
Lot
Avoiding gluten can also make a world of difference in how you feel.
Be well, friend.
@bina nocht I have those nodules. Glad to hear they will go away.
Thank you for your dedication to nutrition & health education. I wish I was 30 years younger so I could avoid the misery of misdiagnosed, undiagnosed & under treated thyroid/liver/autoimmune diseases/chronic fatigue/brain fog, etc. I am down 20 lbs in six weeks, & feeling so much better! Looking forward to spending my days “Berging” your videos.
How did you lose weight?
@@lovefaith1856 intermittent fasting & healthy keto. Sticking to Dr. Berg’s advice. I am also working with my primary care physician, who’s monitoring by labs.
same with my doctor. he heals everything with meds
I wish I’d known this 20 years ago my mom had both sides of her thyroid removed on separate occasions and still has issues/ persistent cough now
Uh oh y’all, we done did it! Dr Berg is a verb now! I too love ‘berging’ on his videos whenever I can, tryina keep my health in check! He’s obvs the GOAT❣️
Dr berg you take care of humanity you are a global hero ! You are an angel.
We love you dr. Berg, if RUclips takes you down we'll follow, I had a RUclips channel with 4,000 subscribers that I interacted with and they took me down a couple years ago for speaking Truth.

I’m taking thyroid medication for over 20 years and I still feel sick.All this time I haven’t seen great Doctors that listing and try to help the patients. I wish Dr. Eric could be my doctor. Your videos help me a lot.
Me to
What sympoms describe feeling sick?
Thank you for this crucial information that no doctor ever told me, except a Naturopath in Seattle in 2004. Saved my life. You do wonderful work.
Thank you, Dr. Berg! I’ve always relied on my doctor for my health. However, many times I recognized my doctor doesn’t know many things but very good at prescribing drugs without a lot of detailed explanation to me. Since discovering your channel, I’ve learned more things from you than my doctor. Keep up the good work! Cheers! ❤️
You know, the part about being proactive is really important, especially as we get older. This channel is helping us live our best lives possible.

I believe menopause tripped up my body and doctors put me on Synthroid in 2007. It helped, but at 66 that was the only med I was taking and wanted off of it. My kinesiologist started treating my pituitary and liver with supplements and I have been Synthroid free since October. It was pretty rough weaning off over 2 months, but I am completely symptom free now. No problems losing weight because I have been eating keto and 18/6 IF the past year. I have no doubt cutting out grains and sugar and fasting helped as much as the supplements. I’m still taking the pituitary supplements. T3/t4 normal and tsh normal. Thank you Dr. Berg!
What are they re the pituitary supplements?
Thnks
the most trustworthy, knowledgeable doctor ever found on internet. Thank you for sharing truth and giving us knowledge.
Thank you for being a light in the dark world of healthcare Dr. Berg 💜
People/patients deserve to be empowered, educated about their health, and given viable treatment solutions for all chronic/acute illnesses. The healthcare great awakening is happening.
Dr Berg can you make a video on post menopause women with low thyroid diet
The MAIN AND FIRST REASON why I had a thyroid and adrenal problem is ... SIBO that I had for around 20 years minimum!! I had no help from doctors, had to do all by myself. I AM SURE A PRO-ACTIVE... FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, I was in quicksand, doing research even with very low cognition. It took a long time to figure it all out... HELL... But I am so much better now. TX DR BERG FOR YOUR HELP TOWARDS OTHERS.
This is Gold Doc. More appreciated than you know, all the best.
My daughter who is closing in on 40 has never tested positive for hypothyroidism but can’t get anDoc to look beyond the end of their nose. She has suffered so much having her do this test immediately! Thank you!
Dr. Berg. Thank you for this topic. I really need help with my hypothyroidism. Not sure what causes it but still on tablets. You are God sent. I only wish you could turn your volume up so we can hear you better. I have to be trying so hard to hear you.
You have a gift for clear communication. I tried reading about all of this and it just made my head spin. Really appreciate your videos, thank you!
The Achilles test... I'm not getting much of a reflex kick at all, either leg. Anyone else experience this?
2015 was major time for me, when i realized having issue with hashimoto. never took any kind of prescription drugs, but slowly digging material similar to your presentation here, and making connections, then hand picking supplements, careful diet planning, etc. year later, i was better than ever, even thought i became socially the odd one, not partying, drinking beer anymore, etc.
this year was stressful for me, my mom passed away, so i let myself go with unhealthy and fast food all day long, and now is the time to go back and revert to the healthy life style. i know all it takes to get there, but still binge watching all your videos - it is so exciting to see i am not alone in all this, whereas i do feel such when talking to ppl in my vicinity, friends, colleagues, MD.
thank you for such amazing content and support!
Dr Berg, you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I appreciate your willingness to use this platform to share information, your delivery is "hearable/understandable", and your gentleness is genuine. Be blessed!!
Dr Berg, you are an absolute Saint. For the past 20 years I have been living with hypothyroidism, after giving birth and prescribed thyroxine which was doing nothing. I recently began taking your Gallbladder formula and in 2 days the vertical ridges on my nails have disappeared. I am beaming... What is this. The mainstream medical system should be ashamed to walk the streets. I love you Dr Berg. Your information has transformed our lives... My God. I want to walk around with a megaphone broadcasting you xxx thank you infinitely God bless you and your family xxx
Dr Berg, thanks do much for your useful videos. Please let me know what is the gallbladder formula? Thanks again
Gosh, thank you!! I have suspected I have hypothyroidism for a long time and my test have come back negative and I have ALL the signs and symptoms.
My sisters test came back negative over and over then turned out she had it. I have hypothyroidism too. I’m also on a weight loss journey and it’s so tuff to lose weight with hypothyroidism, but I lost a 100 lbs so far and have 120 lbs more to lose.
Check your temperature before you move around in the morning. the lower it is from 98.6 degrees, the more you have a low thyroid.I have studied this and this is the best, easiest test I've found.
You have an App?!? Yes!! Thank you for making your content so readily available. You have been a life saver (literally). Lot of love to you and your family for this gift you have and your willingness to share with the world ❤
Dr. Berg is the best!! Every video I watch adds a lot of value to my health and knowledge. He’s one of the very few that advises people on having a healthy lifestyle to avoid getting sick. After watching him for a long time, I can say that I really trust his opinions and knowledge. He also has that positive aura about him, that reflects how he wants to just help people. Thank you for all you do Dr. Berg.
This is insane that they’re doing this for a start 🤯 thanks for the great info
This is the absolute BEST informative thyroid video I've came across in years! Thank you very much, Dr. Berg ❤
I stopped taking my thyroid meds, after weaning, last July. I suspected the medicine made me feel worse. So far so good.
*I knew the risks
I didn’t wean I just stopped! The medication made my life hell! My GP still won’t refer me to a specialist that knows how to prescribe the right dose, hell! My Gp doesn’t even test my t3 level 🙄 I barely had thyroid symptoms until I started the medication.
I had an atypical (for me) thyroid hormone test last year. It was "within range" so my doctor did not flag it and didn't recommend any investigation. I'm 63, very active, but have gained 5-6 lbs in the past year, and have other symptoms of hypothyroidism. I have been gluten sensitive for a long time. I probably don't get a lot of iodine in my diet. Will definitely look into this.
They always also say iodine is not an issue in western countries, but maybe it is actually something we aren't getting enough. Going to try these tests and see
Thank you for making videos like this! I was diagnosed with Hashimotos but my endo and primary rely on outdated/old school data that has left my body in turmoil, while doing nothing to help me till TSH stays out of wack, furtentl. I'm taking control and fix my diet.
Are you taking any thyroid meds while changing your diet now?
@@jappykinoshita4959 No, my primary won't treat based on symptoms, only tsh, which is constantly in and out of "normal". And the high antibodies with typical diffieciencies with hashimotos don't concern her.
This is the definition of a real doctor !!!!
I would love for all doctors of today to be like you! Hats off to your efforts in educating everyone. I would love to get in touch and consult with you

Because it is a bean derived product and with the deficiency one cannot Digest it properly ending up making hemolytic anemia😛 It is a super product when one does not have this condition.. Thanks for your Comment!!
Thank you Dr. Berg for providing so many much more useful knowledge that I needed! I had problems with losing my voice box a lot and all the doctors kept giving me were strong acid reflex prescriptions. My ENT just told me to lose weight. I didn't know how to properly lose weight and found your videos very helpful on going on keto and fasting. I lost 30lbs doing that. Then I started taking the vitamin Solgar brand you recommended taking Sea Kelp and it has helped improve my thyroid and mood tremendously!
Love Dr berg’s sea kelp. I take it with 1-2 Brazil nuts. Been helping with my energy.
Wow, you are way more informative and useful than Dr Oz. Thank you
Sending this incredible information to my family and friends Dr. Berg. Your endless tools for optimum health and invaluable resources are priceless for the world listening. We thank you so very much! 🙏💜✝️

Dr. Berg has an App! Yay!! This is the best news ever. I just downloaded it. Can’t wait!!
Thank you for downloading my App. Stay safe!
Dr Berg, I have so much to thankyou for. Fasting has been a miracle for me and I feel, look and work differently and better. I’m from India and a vegetarian. It would be of immense help if you could do a video on vegetarian or vegan options for a Keto diet while intermittent fasting. Thankyou
You need meat as a human being. At least eggs and other animal proteins
You can try almonds , raw coconut slices . Homemade paneer is a very good source of protein. If you eat eggs, then you can easily do Keto with paneer one meal and eggs in the other. Else you may go with nuts for 1 meal.
@@gahdzuwkz6647 no... not needed.. It is good.. But not essential... Humans, unlike other animals can get the needed nutrients from plant and dairy based foods....
@@NemysisPrime yes but animal proteins dairy and eggs at the very least….veganism doesn’t work
I'm a vegetarian(since birth) btw (not vegan), and and I'm now 30 y.o... I haven't had any problem so far...
The problem occurrs when someone suddenly turns to being veganism after eating meat for so long. Their digestive system is adapted to absorbing nutrients from meat (especially the proteins) and they get malnutritioned by sudden switch to veganism...
Ppl who are vegetarians from beginning tend to know what to eat to get the required nutrients which otherwise are obtained from animal based food.
We need doctors that like you help people heal
I like that Dr Berg always tries to recommend natural remedies, herbs and lifestyle changes instead of just blindly promoting whatever med Big Pharma is pushing.
God bless you, Doc.
The health care system need more people like you to do help people stay healthy. God,s blessing be with you always.
Really appreciate your message and your support! Keep doing well!
Wow, Dr Berg you are the best!
your videos are too good and valuable information. I am a certified functional nutrionist and your videos are so helpful for me in my practise. when i get any doubt with no thought i refer to your videos . Thanks a lot once again for your thought of spreading right information.
Dr.berg you are the best no doubt about it thank you for your work 🙏🏻

Dr. Berg, thank you for being you and for sharing such important information with us. People really need it to be healthy. You yourself are a wonderful doctor! Take care of yourself, people really need you!
Thank you for all the precious knowledge Dr Berg 💕. Can you please address cases where people took radioactive iodine to destroy part - not all - of the gland and how it affects their health afterwards? Many thanks!!
Next time I develop a symptom, I’m going to my doctor what they say/recommend. However I will be researching a Dr Berg video because chances are he has one and it will contain more information that makes sense. I am grateful for your enormous knowledge and presentation of the information. Most doctors talk in medical terms that the average person doesn’t understand but since I have a 20+yr medical background I can read through the lines and basically most doctors are saying “I don’t know “ the cause but I can prescribe something for your symptoms.
🙏🏼 Thank you for Standing with Humanity against the Evil Pharma
Dr Berg- I diagnosed myself due to not getting any of the specialists not listening, I finally found a functional dr that came up with what I found. I tested myself through the Basel temp test, looked at all the symptoms I was having and came up with it. I also have hypoglycemia and therefore corrected my entire diet, it’s still a hit and miss with that if I try something new. I’ve gained 40 lbs since 2013, I’ll lose 5 lbs then it comes back. It seems like I am stuck. Plus over the last two years I’ve been dealing with swelling in my feet up to my knees, my dr gave me water pills and they do nothing.
Knowledge is so empowering and liberating! Thank you Dr Berg for all the great knowledge delivered in a concise , easy to use manner ! I’m grateful ! 🌹
I had hypothyroidism when I was 15 and was severely underweight no matter how much I ate. I also started becoming anemic and getting 8 cavities at a time, every time I would eat gluten my belly would grow so large and I was so skinny that I looked like one of the malnourished children from 3rd world countries with inflated hard belly. I had to cut off gluten from my life for over 2 years, began bodybuilding throughout that process. I went to conventional doctors with no avail, until I met Dr David Stewart from leesburg who told me it was high intolerance to gluten (not celiac) that destroyed the Villi in my intestinal lining which is responsible for absorbing nutrients . He also said I could have developed cancer in my small intestine if I had continued.
I didn’t develop gluten sensitivities until I was in my 50s and going through menopause (I’m in my 60s now). I don’t know whether that was related to hormonal changes or due to the type of GMO wheat we have now. I tested negative for celiac. When I was young, even into my 40s, I didn’t suffer from wheat gluten reactions. Now, I do. 🤷🏼♀️ As far as controlling weight, my best success has been IF and doing my best to keep starchy carbs out.
I don't think it's gluten but the glyphosate
( Round Up) herbicide they use. This should be illegal. This and seed oils literally wreck our bodies.
@@jerrylisby3440 You could be right. Have you experienced the same?
@@Slivings911 yes I had gut issues with acid reflux which led to hypothyroidism etc
@@jerrylisby3440 Yes, I get acid reflux from wheat. It feels like something is tearing my tummy up. I can tolerate a little now and then. The symptoms pass. But if I eat too much it will lead to migraine and really feeling sick. Maybe you’re right that it’s poison, not gluten. It does feel like being poisoned!
That's so true! I had horrible blurred vision, I thought I was becoming blind, I stopped eating gluten and I swear the next day the blurred vision stopped
That's amazing. Thanks for sharing your experience here. Wishing you good health.
you deserve Nobel prize ❤️❤️❤️
The proof is in your growing subscriptions . You sir are helping many find answers to what our GP’s can’t seem to address and find answers to .
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you Dr. Berg for all your information! It appears you have made an error at the end of the video regarding the iodine test. To me the iodine would absorb quickly if you had a deficiency, not leave a stain after an hour.
Dr. B, starting waling backwards and my knee pain is slowly going away🤩🙏🏼 Thank you!!!!
Was there a video on that?
Thank you so much ❤ Was told after blood work, i had Hashimoto's/Hypothyroidism and testosterone was 218. Been very hard bouncing back. Hungry all the time, cold,can't put on weight at 140 now. Brain fog. Been extremely difficult can't even work, because no energy. And when i look back about 1.5 yrs ago i was fine. But had gone to a dentist they freaking x-rayed me shoulders up probably 10times. Right where my thyroid is. just my opinion but,my health started to go down hill from there. Really appreciate you sharing because i really need it❤
We have got same story with you. After dental implant (4 titanium screws) and 3 x-rays, we got thyroiditis (thyroid inflammation). There is a strong link between dental implants (alergy or metal toxicity) and autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto or Graves.
Even root canal's infection may occur hypo or hyperthroid.
There is so many high ranking academic articles on this topic.
By the way, I hope you are well now.
Thank you Dr. Berg we really respect you!!
I appreciate your support!
Dr Berg, I’m in the 10% non- hasimotos hypothyroidism. I had thyroid cancer and full thyroid removal 14 years ago and have been monitored for lingering evidence since then. I’d love to hear about the Causes of hypothyroidism outside of Hashimoto and what I can do to help stay healthy while dependent on thyroid hormone replacement therapy.
Adrenal and gallbladder problems can cause Hashimoto’s.
Everytime i see this Dr's videos i click on it just to "LIKE IT" and comment so he's credited and hopefully gets paid for his awesome work.
Wow that’s so interesting, you explained that well, I like the simple but effective test.
Great professional wisdom shared here...Thank You for helping so many with Thyroid issues!!
Dear Dr.Berg.Please review the iodine test you mentioned on this video and please clarify if you meant the opposite: if the iodine is absorbed then it suggests deficiency. That's my understanding from one of your previous videos. But here you say if it is not absorbed you may be deficient. Could you please clarify thank you
I was wondering this too!
I thought the same thing too.
Yeah he got it backwards
Also for accurate results not any kind of 2% iodine can be used from what I have found. Should use povidone iodine which you use for burns etc
Same thing...
This is so informative. I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism for about years. I take like 3 Tablets a day. My thyroid is within normal range according to my doctor. Can you please do a video on hyperthyroidism please. Thank you
Thank you Dr. Berg for all the videos. They are invaluable. I suffer from this and do not have a doctor willing to pay attention to me. So, I'm doing my research and self remedy
Dr Wilson who wrote Adrenal Fatigue, has adrenal glandulars and stress formula that helped me gain back adrenal health after taking them for 6 months. Of course keto and IF have helped me so much too!
bless you! seriously! i was diagnosed with HD 5/6 years ago, but resisted all the pills and treatments of the thyroid, but fixed my diet and tried to regulate stress... well, it not working too much in blood tests, i i feel ok... now i see maybe this is only secondary sign of something else.. thanks a lot
Nice beard Dr Berg! Looking sharp!!!
You ROCK Dr.Berg! Thank you for helping the world. Fighting with Doctors for years over my adrenal glands issues. I give up I am my own doctor. ❤️😊
You're not the Lone Ranger oh, I've done the same thing as being my own doctor I didn't know what else to do. Thankful you're doing better God bless you.
I decided to finally take my health in my own hands through Dr. Berg’s guidance of my symptoms. Since I’ve been a kid I have all these questions about symptoms but drs had no answers. Furthermore, it seems to me the more medications people are on they really don’t improve, they just manage? I’m sick of being sick and tired!The biggest surprise of all was my husband felt the same way but he didn’t know what to do. We started taking baby steps by watching his videos and taking his quizzes. Wow! We followed his recommendations and my husband finally sleeps better, he has more energy, and he doesn’t feel bloated and tired anymore. He’s lost weight he has reduced pain and inflammation. I’m a hot mess on the other hand, but things are improving for me and I have a plan. If I have a question it’s likely Dr. Berg has a video with a remedy and an explanation. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
GREAT video, Dr. Berg!
QUESTION: Pls clarify how OFTEN to take 40k IU's of Vit D - Daily? Weekly?
Thx again for all of your helpful info and education!
🙂
I feel like you talking directly to me. Better get to a doctor. I am a VERY complicated medical mess! I started life with a diagnosis of a "spastic colon" at age 22. Car accident at 23. Back surgery opiate addiction (20 yrs.), breast cancer (stage 2A), back fusion at 4 levels. Neck fusion at 3 levels. 2 kids and one hysterectomy later...I'm so done. I need a great doctor like you.
If you've been through all this, there's a reason, stay strong, great things will happen, God bless you
@@NakuruMotorClub thank you, God be with you also!
Thank you Dr. Berg! As usual, your video was truly very helpful. I for sure have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's and am now on Synthroid. I would love to be able to not be on it, but don't know what options I have. I have been doing the Ketogenic way of eating you are recommending and have lost 12 lbs.! :)
I’ve just downloaded your app. Thank you! You are my only Doctor now!
Oh wow, really appreciated! Keep me posted on how it works for you.
Thank you for the info as always Dr Berg 😊
As nutritionist can you make a programme about the special diet for those who have autoimmune thyroiditis? What to eat, what to not eat and what is allowed to eat seldom.. thank you
Hi! Your videos have been helping out massively in recent times as I’ve been going through some health problems. Could you do a video on Vitamin B dosages? Thanks!
Many persons struggle with this, some aware some are not. This is useful information thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Dr Berg your video are very helpful for everyone.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Next time I go to the store, I'm getting iodine. Seems I have no achilles tendon reflex. My mom and grandma both have hypothyroidsm, and with some increased signs in myself, I wouldn't be surprised if I hear my skin make slurping sounds during the iodine test and yell, "More, please!"
Dr Berg, you say 1 Brazil nut a day. How do we test that our levels are absorbing the selenium? Thank you, love your videos very informative.
Awesome question.
Thanks Dr. Eric, I been following your RUclips channel for almost two years, read your books and it's truly amazing that you really helped a lot of people who's confuse what the best to consume and getting back to there right track of healthy routine.. thanks a lot from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you for your video. Other folks have said that the opposite is true about the iodine patch test. That is, if the iodine patch disappears quickly (say in under 4 hours, or even in under an hour) it means that the person is iodine deficient. Could you confirm this? Many thanks.
Hi, Dr. Berg. I know veganism is not your thing but many people engage in it for, what are for them, ethical reasons. When you speak of the keto diet, can you also quickly refer to vegan keto and, if you have time, how to meet nutritional needs on a vegan/ vegan keto diet? And/ or link already existent videos of yours about this subject in the video description? Thanks for all the good you do and the great information you consistently put out into the world. :)
Thank you Dr Berg. I thought that it's the opposite that iodine patch should stay on your skin for longer as a sign that your body is not hungry for it as it has enough already 🤔
Yes, I was confused about that too.
Me also
I've heard the same thing. mine disappeared in 12 hours
He corrected himself in a comment
Golly!!! Glad I came across this video informing us of your App, 2 years after😮just quickly downloaded it💃🏽
I thought you said before that the iodine patch would disappear rapidly if deficient. This te you said it would remain. Which is it? Blessings and thanks!
Dear Dr Berg you explain the thyroid patch test exactly in the opposite way, and over 24 hrs in another video (HYPOTHYROIDISM: Don’t Ignore These 7 Early Warning Signs). So could you re-edit the wrong one and let us know how it is really done ? Thank you so much! I am really grateful for your work.
Nice to hear some common sense about Thyroid. Thanks.
Had Epstein-Barr and was diagnosed as auto-immune on many levels. My system totally rejected Synthroid and I won't touch the porcine thyroid (too many ingredients that are not thyroid). Lived like this for 40 years. Kept getting tested and T4 was highT3 very low. Have HCV (over 50 years and it's from a transfusion, not stupidity).
Last year I spoke to an endocrinologist who was ready to put me on Metaformin and porcine thyroid. She won't talk to me again -- I already knew what my bloodwork showed (I'm living Keto!) and refused the porcine, bought a cleaner product. She didn't like that at all -- told me alternatives weren't a part of her training. Pay $50 a month out of my own pocket because it's not Pharma, and so not covered. But it works!
Whole Gland Desiccated Bovine Thyroid.
My craving for seaweed went away in a week. I'd always craved the seaweed, and the craving vanished.(If only my craving for sweet would vanish as easily).
Ultrasound showed nodes on/in the gland before we started treatment.
It's been nearly a year. Bloodwork shows my thyroid gland is no longer trying to fill the cellular needs (ie: working overtime), the antibodies are still in circulation and so I'll be taking the caps of desiccated bovine thyroid until the antibodies stop.
After a year, I am losing less hair. Don't think it's growing back, but I'm 72 and recently started taking DHEA because it seems my ovaries have disappeared... Can't be found by ultrasound. So maybe my hair will grow back, be nice to have eyebrows and eyelashes again.
With the combination of the bovine thyroid and the DHEA I find I sleep better and don't hit the wall (need a nap) as often as I did.
Good for you to keep at it till you figured stuff out! Thanks for inspiring me!!!
Where did you find a good source for the dessicated thyroid?
@@karmasutra4774 Searched the internet. Found Nutri-meds, which offers capsules without additives. There are other companies, but Nutri-meds ships from the US and I have no complaints.
This video is another solid gold nugget of information. I liked the information on Brazil nuts and selenium 5:18
Amazing info. I love all your videos but this one hit home. I went to my doctor with all the symptoms and he did blood work and I was right on the line for a thyroid issue but he blew me off about it. Was so frustrating! Maybe I should try one Brazil nut a day
4 Brazil nuts a day to get your selenium, don’t eat more than that as it’s not good for you to consume too many
@@royhoss8309 4 is too many. 1 to 2 tops
I noticed a firm lump on my neck, my neck was also quite swollen (goitre) and it was causing a lot of discomfort and I had difficulty swallowing which was why I went to my GP. After blood tests (thyroid function was normal), x-rays, ultrasound and biopsy I was booked to have right hemithyroidectomy surgery.
I still have some nodules on the left side, what happens from here I'm unsure, I'm booked for my follow up appointment next week.
Even though it has only been 12 days since surgery and recovery was slow due to nausea and a cold, I already feel much better, with less brain fog and so I'm looking forward to the other symptoms you mentioned in the video to subside. I'm definitely considering a keto diet.
Family history of thyroid problems, so I've ensured my children are aware of what to look out for.
Thank you for such an informative video. I suspect I did have hypothyroidism for a very long time and it just went undetected.
I've read several articles on iodine painting tests and yours is the opposite of what the others are saying, that is it should take 18 to 24 hours for the iodine to disappear if you are not deficient, quicker absorption means you are deficient. It seems logical to me that if you are deficient it would be absorbed quicker.
Correct
Thank you! I have followed you for several years now and I just downloaded your app.
