I am going to give a simplified version of how the brain works. Neurons and nerves send electrical signals to each other. This requires electrical conductive minerals. What happens when the brain gets full of toxic metals that short circuit these neurons? Aluminum being one of the worst offenders. Think Alzheimer's and Autism. Imagine if you replaced all of the copper wiring inside your house with aluminum wiring. It would not conduct electricity. Imagine if your body was full of aluminum (and other toxic metals)? Your brain and nerves become impaired. This is normal today. This causes nerve damage, impaired cognitive function, etc. What is the solution? Foods high in raw minerals AND raw fats and proteins. Raw fish, raw organs, raw milk products, raw meat, raw eggs, raw butter, you get the picture. These regenerate all cells in your body, not just your brain. Also lets talk about copper. That is the material of choice for electrical wiring. The food highest in copper is liver. The name Liver comes from Live, Alive. You literally feel alive when you eat liver. Why is that? Could it be that it increases electrical conductivity in the body? Since eating copious amounts of raw liver (and other foods) over a few years, my lazy eye is gone and is now straight. What causes a lazy eye? Nerve damage. God's design of creation is perfect and can always be regenerated in time.
I spent years with chronic stomach issues and years of taking new pills and medications without a diagnosis, I started every morning with extreme stomach pain and or nausea I rarely went to school on time of not at all. After watching you I started fasting and letting my stomach heal and little did I know how that would change everything, first my energy levels increased I was willing to start running again. It only took a couple months to fix what doctors couldn't in years. This has vastly expanded my capacity of living happily and I am now on a journey for the last 2 years to prove that we can restore our body's to levels above our previous feats, I have healed my lungs from years of smoking and can now run over 10 miles and have found motivation and discipline to create a business as a side effect of all this, you have truly played a part in my journey to the top and I want to thank you Dr.Berg. God bless all of you have hope and have a blessed life❤
I want to add qigong to your list. After years of experiencing brain fog I started qigong in Jan 2023. Within two weeks my brain started to function much better my memory and concentration has improved. I can focus on what people are saying to me without having a million other thoughts going through my mind. I no longer have repetitive music playing in my head. It's amazing!
One thing that caught my attention in this video was at the 2:00 minute mark. Dr. Berg says not to remind others of their lapses in memory. It actually does harm. I've noticed Dr. Berg's approach in his videos is one of encouragement and things we can do to improve. He doesn't go negative like so many others do. He does not try and scare you.
THIS IS SO TRUE, ive noticed this when you make a schedule or set reminders you find yourself not being able to remember anything cos u know u have reminders set. But when u keep it all in ur brain you find that you're able to recall that information with a few seconds of thinking
I have to just say this straight up: Dr. Berg you are an absolute TREASURE to the community of health and medicine! I mean that very sincerely because I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and it absolutely blows my mind how you have such extensive knowledge of literally anything I’m thinking about it or seeking for my family for better health. Your knowledge of holistic approaches to medicine, fasting, remedies, etc., is very crucial and impactful in the lives of MILLIONS of people across the globe! Brutally honest truth: you know WAAAAAYYYY more than many of these MDs (not trying to bash medical professionals but I’m just saying it like it is). I can’t thank you enough for the gift of knowledge of pretty much any remedy I could seek and reap the benefits of from your videos. Thank you very much, Dr Berg 🙏
indeed... I would also recommend Dr Suneel Dhand for the same reasons. And since we're talking about physicians, even Dr Rand Paul is healthy to follow although for more political reasons ;) Medicine should be this: for the people!
Cool so I walk when I golf twice a week, stretching, intermittent fast, low carb diet, Benfotimine B1, sauerkraut every meal, red light therapy, cod liver oil, olive oil, butter, MCT oils and fish oil caps, no sugar, take hot baths, taking D3-K2, green tea, cacao and MCT in my coffee AM, sleep 7-8 hrs a night, and more! Thanks Dr. Berg!
Thank you Dr. Berg! you're the best! I just wrote these for myself for later use, I'm posting it in case anyone else need it: 1. Regular aerobic exercise and long walks (to get lots of oxygen) + HIIT 2. Intermittent Fasting (OMAD or 20:4 or 18:6) + periodic prolonged fasting 3. Cold Therapy 4. Omega 3 5. Low Carb Diet (Keto) 6. Heat Therapy 7. Vitamin B1 8. Probiotics 9. Infrared from Sun 10. Plant Based Phytonutrients 11. Foods high in Choline (egg yolks, organ meat, fish) 12. Grass fed animal products 13. Sufficient Sleep 14. Coffee (low amount) 15. Zinc
I think you might have missed below mentioned points that are proven to increase not just connection between different regions of brain but regenrate cells as well: 1. Learning to play musical instrument, music notation and complex classical music 2. Learning to dance (specially latin dances like salsa, bachata) 3. Using medicinal herbs like ashwagandha 4. Practicing meditation
G'day Dr. Eric, great video. Thank you for confirming ALL of my research. I am doing everything on your list and have never felt better at the age of 51. At 23, I had a very severe traumatic head injury. It took me until I was 50 and divorced to realise that no one else would if I didn't look after myself. I have taken most of your advice in the last 6 months and I feel better and more clear than I did at 21. My best move is Turmeric. I hate the way it stains everything. However, it has done the most to improve my physical and mental well-being. Freezing cold showers, OMG, I wake up and have a 2-5 minute cold shower and feel absolutely ready for anything, EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Dr. Berg's videos have had a huge impact on my life. I've been on a keto-diet/intermittent fasting regimen for 8 months now. I've lost 58lbs and feel so much better. While I still enjoy the food I eat, I don't treat it as recreation. Eating two meals per day - within my 6 hour feeding window - has taught me to be 'intentional' about the fuel I'm feeding my body.
Have to say, Doc, that I'm glad I found you. Five years ago cancer claimed my wife ( liver cancer, ironically). I descended into grief, alcohol, lockdowns ( quite severe here in Melbourne, Aus ), and "life" was pretty poor. 170 days ago, after being a VERY heavy drinker I spontaneously gave up alcohol. Surprisingly, at 69 yo, my liver is in relatively good shape, but I figure it needs all the help it can get. Your vids have inspired me to give it to it. I'm just beginning, and it's a struggle to break bad habits, but if I can break the 5 bottles of vodka ( plus a few other things like strong beer ) a week habit then the rest can't be impossible, right? Thank you.
Life is too beatiful to be spent on drinking. I am sure your wife would not want you to be in such a grief. When I die I want people to be thankful for the time they HAD with me and not be in grief for the time we cannot have in the future. I hope you get your things sorted out. It's your choice.
@@whoknows8223 We honour those passed by living life the best that we can. It's what they would want. There's been a lot of information coming out lately about just how bad drinking alcohol really is for you, and your brain. The less you drink the better off you'll be, though i'm still inclined to have a social drink or few from time to time.
Finding the right motivation is the key, focus on positive aspects of your life and brush off the rest. Avoiding moments linked to past bad habits also makes it easier, for example, if watching sports is linked mentally to smoking or drinking, change it for a long walk in the mountains or something else that satisfies you positively (while you listen to the game or just look at the results or a resume of the best moments the next day) 😉 You can't change the past, but you can work on your "now", step by step and day by day; there will be lower moments of course but don't let that get in the way as tomorrow is another fresh new day, block that "bad day" and continue the right way. It's never too late and everything little step helps, I'm sure you can do it 💪🏼 I wish you all the best in your new you journey 🤗
No point in low carb diet. Heard it’s not that good for your heart. Just be sure to fast at least a couple times a year and some intermittent fasting throughout that
@@jasper1583Wrong, stop spreading misinformation. Low carb/keto is amazing for a lot of people (not everyone). If you are to eat carbs, it’s the quality of carbs that are important. Not “pointless”. Just because you “hear” it, doesn’t mean it’s true. Do your research.
@@Hadleyaustin96 not “misinformation” 😂. For young people like myself and especially those who are very physically active eating carbs is definitely ideal. Especially when there are so many healthy sources

Always on point. I've integrated most of these so that they are now a habitual part of my routine. May I add one more: Quitting alcohol has been a game changer for me. Next level. 3 months completely sober now and never felt better. I'm sure some can manage the appropriate dosage, but my inner voice told me to quit.
I guess I'm in pretty good shape because I'm already doing many of the things on this list... I exercise 3x per week, fast 18+ hrs per day, omega 3s, B vitamins, probiotic, IR light therapy, huge salad 5x per week, etc. My biggest deficiencies are poor sleep and still too many carbs, but I am working on these things and steadily improving. Cancer, heart disease and dementia run in my family, and both parents died relatively young from these conditions, so I am trying my best to outsmart my genetics. Thanks for these invaluable tips!
I'd consider upping your exercise and decreasing your salads -- well, leafy greens in particular. If your salad consists mainly of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, etc., then no big deal. If you're eating a ton of kale and spinach, I'd cut those out due to oxalates and other anti-nutrients. Just sharing what I've learned! Keep up the good work. 💪
@@asplmn I'm doing just fine, in the best health of my life. If you do a variety of things to maintain good health, as I do, you don't need as much exercise as you might think. 3x per week is more than enough. Also, veggies (including various greens) are THE staple of a healthy diet, along with healthy fats and grass fed proteins. Green veggies are packed with phytonutrients that fight disease. I've done my research.
@@asplmns a qualified nutritionist I would say your advice on replacing leafy greens with cucumber & tomato salad is misinformed!Lots of misinformation on internet!
@@user-cz7sb1ow5d Well, I'm not the only one who thinks pounding spinach everyday is not a good idea. These qualified nutritional researchers also think it's less than ideal too: "rhubarb, spinach and beet are other common high oxalate-content foods. Vegetarians who consume greater amounts of vegetables will have a higher intake of oxalates, which may reduce calcium availability. This may be an increased risk factor for women, who require greater amounts of calcium in the diet. In humans, diets low in calcium and high in oxalates are not recommended but the occasional consumption of high oxalate foods as part of a nuritious diet does not pose any particular problem." -Bsc, S.N. and (1999), Oxalate content of foods and its effect on humans. Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 8: 64-74.
I'm doing all of those, except sufficient sleep. Good quality sleep, but too few hours I believe. I've been watching this channel for more than a year by now, and it stands clear how much I've improved since. These are teachings that I share with my patients.
Yep. In my case, I had to stop drinking any fluids after 4 pm in the afternoon. It was the only way that I could get 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night without getting up. I also use a CPAC machine. That has helped me a lot as well. I had a bad case of sleep apnea and I didn't know it until I got tested.
I can do the following: exercise (long walks); fasting (one meal in a day); cold therapy (cold shower); omega 3 (cod liver or fish oils & cook with butter); low carb diet (generate key tones, take mct oil, use the sauna); Vitamin B1 intake; probiotics; veggies grown in soils with microbes, organic foods, sun exposure, quercitin, rem sleep, and zinc.
Dr. Berg, Thank You for this presentation. I have lived a life of fitness before, amd after my days in the United States Marine's. I have followed your nutrition presentations for years, and apply them. I unfortunately acquired a traumatic Brain injury on 06/20/04, and everyday is a cognitive overload sometimes. Please keep up your talented work in Wellness.

Dr. Berg, G-d bless you. You are saving lives through RUclips! Just downloaded your app. I’ve been watching you for years, but have needed you even more in the last year after receiving a cancer and autoimmune diagnosis. I thought I was young and untouchable! 😂 Those vegan meats (highly unrecommended) and greasy fries will catch up to you! The processed foods, stress and the current state of our environment is really doing a number on so many of us, but we will overcome! If you’re watching this now, you’re already on your path to healing! Currently on a 40 day water fast after doing months of research and not having any luck with these doctors. Felt completely ignored. Took things into my own hands and so far I’m fine, on day 18. Watching your videos really helps me. I feel like I have a personal doctor that actually CARES about my life. Thank you for all you’re doing for so many of us who have sought to heal ourselves during such a difficult time in medical history. Now more than ever, we need voices like yours to steer us towards optimum health. Health is wealth. Best of luck to everyone who’s trying to heal and live better lives. May your blessings flow, generations to come.❤
I can confirm this to be 99% correct. I finished as 2nd best student in my last uni exam, after religiously do morning HIIT exercise and intermittent fasting consistently since the start of the semester. I never made into top 10 before doing those 2.
@The Truth has been spoken i am doing 16/8 twice a week most of the time. Sometimes I do 20/4, and i never try OMAD before. And just in case anyone wondering, I do HIIT exercise three times a week for a duration of 10-15 minutes each session. And I also do calisthenics for muscle building also three times a week for 45-60 minutes each session. I take my rest day on weekend.
So glad I already do most of these things but I'll try to add in more. My parents are both running into memory issues and I believe more exercise, less sugar, less snacks, better sleep, healthier foods would be the first place to start for them.
As an M.D. who diagnoses brain and vision nerve problems, I want to thank Dr. Berg for the 5th year in a row..He provides valuable, factual, beneficial medical information...I feel this list of 15 could have/should have included Vitamin D with his vitamins(7) and the minerals (15) should/must include Magnesium with his Zinc minerals. (11) could include Omega 3 (like wild-caught salmon(farm-raised are almost worthless)
It was a good video (you allude to the consistent quality of his video's. We all have a responsibility to do a little research, ourselves.) Considerations can be exhaustive, so I believe this was enough, in this video. Vit D, magnesium etc (not to omit K2) appear in other work. We live and learn, yet in reality we only need to eat a varied diet of fresh food in moderation and keep active and social enough, for a pleasant outcome. Respect though, to you•
I’ve adopted fasting again. I try not to eat 2 hours before bed. I get up for work, go to work and don’t eat until I get home after my shift. Then I have a meal after feeding the dogs and a snack a while later. I knew Dr. B would suggest exercising so I have to do more. The oils I cook with are good. The rest I’m gonna have to improve on. Cold shower in the winter uh uh. Maybe in the summer after I mow the yard. 😊
Dr. Eric, I'm a lawyer from Brazil and also a HUGE fucking FAN. Your work spreading extremely valid information just benefits the life of lots of people among the Globe. Be proud of your reach. What you do is a true blessing for everyone. Don't forget. And also, thanks for everything. You helped me along a lot of body/brain - health causes and aspects. God Bless You.
Thank you for mentioning the sunlight. Been scared of it for years due to skin cancer anxiety. I spent one day in the sun and felt years of anxiety and depression lifted. Tanning beds do not work, they’re cheap dopamine (I used to be addicted too- didn’t even realize it either). Natural sunlight feels amazing and I had no idea how much it could do. I can sleep again. Thank you!
We need real sunlight, something I haven’t seen in years. Now we have deadly chemicals raining down on us and contaminating our water/food/air. I love your videos and I’m sorry to be Debbie downer but we’re in big trouble in America.
If you think that is bad. 50% of my country is unemployed. I sit without food 3/4 weeks every month. I fast because I have to🤣oh i'm in hell - South Africa.
What i can do: Long walks regularly Fasting prolonged and intermittent Cold showers Omega 3 and zinc Cut vegetable oil decrease carbs Consume fermented vegetables Sunlight exposure Sufficient sleep most days
The best ways to improve brain health: 1. Exercise 2. Do intermittent fasting and periodic prolonged fasting 3. Do cold therapy 4. Consume cod liver oil 5. Get on a low-carb diet (Healthy Keto®) 6. Do heat therapy 7. Consume vitamin B1 8. Consume probiotics 9. Get plenty of sunlight (infrared light and vitamin D) 10. Consume plant-based phytonutrients 11. Consume foods high in choline 12. Consume grass-fed animal products 13. Get sufficient sleep 14. Drink coffee 15. Consume zinc Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
Exercise Sunlight exposure Fasting Probiotic Low carb diet These are all so simple to add to your daily life! Thanks again for another excellent video!
Some things I know contribute to my healthy neuroplasticity are: 1.Not owning or watching a tv set for the past 40 years. 2. Studying and utilizing the information in all of Dr. Bergs presentations. 3. No longer worrying about the health beliefs of friends and relatives that think I'm a "health nut":-) If they ask my advice, I'll point them to a particular Dr. Berg video...but most people just don't want to know the truth. They go to their doctor's office as though they're attending church. 4. I try to surf at least twice a week if the waves are good.
I dont think completely avoiding TV has a great impact on your brain but more so what you watch and decide to spend your time viewing. If you had a TV and watched documentaries non stop I cant imagine that not helping your brain. Also a computer is a great resource for learning and expanding your thought capacity but if you spend all your time on social media its obviously going to have a negative effect.
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics from a 60s era song- "I am gross & perverted. I'm obsessed & deranged. I'm the tool of the government & industry too. Have you guessed me yet? I'm the slime easing out of your TV set."
Doing currently: OMAD at least twice a week, IF other days; Cod Liver Oil; Probiotic; Plant-based phytonutrients; Coffee in moderate amounts, Vitamin B1. Working towards - Regular aerobic exercise, Infrared from Sunlight, periodic long fasts, sufficient sleep, and cold therapy. Thanks, Dr Berg!
what r u saying bro this all common information he just happened to make a video that he has already made like 15 times nobel prize winners are smart people who actually discover something revolutionizing. Listing down a few ways to increase neuroplasticity is not very nobel prize worthy but I respect your enthusiam and kidness it's rare to see that nowadays other than simps. But seriously yeah stuff in this video is very helpful for people who don't know anything but if you know a bit about nutriotnal chemistry you would know this is far from every single way but still nice video.
I can do the 1st two things on the list thanks be to God (exercise and fasting). I am middle aged and everything you said in the video made perfect sense. My memory is really bad and i think one of the main causes is staying inside too much (lack of exercise and harmful frequencies of modern technologies/equipment, poor diet etc).
I was 400lbs give or take about 8-9 years ago. even just grabbing your sneakers and heading out the door coupled with the diet plan Dr. Berg recommends with help. I started barely making a half mile walk now I bike 25 miles in about 2 hours. Also, there are plenty of at home programs if you are really bad off like DDPY that will help you with mobility and strength training without weights.
This is why I want to retire early... so I can do daily work outside for exercise, fresh air and have my own home grown food. Currently I am stuck working from home and by the time my day ends it's dark outside.
@@NTJedi FYI, I worked from home the last two years before retiring. I took breaks every two hours for 15-20 minutes and went outside. I did exercises for my eyes, soaked in as much sun and fresh air as I could, did some physical therapy for my back, and grounded (bare feet on the grass). Helped immensely and having the work day as disciplinary framewok ensured I did this every day. Hope I can encourage you to do the same. Do what you can, however small!
@@DWStewart Thanks... my career was rocky during the previous 6 years since billion dollar companies make bad decisions regarding outsourcing and costs. I have finally been employed by a company which pays better and won't be replacing me with somebody from overseas. So I'm now able to begin devoting time back to my health instead of only focused on my career.
I absolutely love the advice in regards to fasting as long as possible and having one meal a day. It makes sense that we as humans, like all other organisms ought to engage with the natural environment which has supported our evolution in the ways which human beings have done for all time basically. Sitting around with every convenience at hand tells your body to not engage in the natural processes that it normally would if you were actively pursuing survival in the real world. It makes sense logically and intuitively. Thank you Dr berg for being a shining light of knowledge and truth, you sir, are the man
Hey, I heard on Huberman's channel that you can also mimick that brain growth process that young children go through. If you fast from a bunch of sensory things. Fast from all entertainment, from good foods etc. Pretty much be a monk. You can recreate what happens to young children and teenagers and grow some neurons. I know Im explaining it wrong somehow but it was Huberman's channel.
I knew that story of the age limitation to brain cells production was a con. So I have done it with mine. but then be ready to develop your patience to another league with people around you. Top video Dr Berg. Thanks
Greetings! I’m doing about 7 of these things and feel major and subtle improvements. Been on vegan healthy keto for about 5 weeks and have lost about 26 lbs. My back and joint pain has diminished to not needing pain meds, I feel a little bit more energetic, and I have noticed my brain is working better than it was before I started keto. I watch your videos every day, and I can add a couple more of these things on the list to keep improving. Thank you, Dr Berg!
Back in the early 2000s, I read studies where elevated oxygen therapy was used to re-grow brain tissue after traumatic brain injuries. IIRC, treatment was on the order of 30% oxygen (i.e., 50% increase in available oxygen) for 30 to 60 minutes at +1 atmosphere once per week. The results presented were stunning. Perhaps a number 16 for the list.
I started with cold water therapy. It's amazing. I really felt alive again. I haven't catch a cold this whole winter since I started doing it every day when waking up. Also, I exercise a lot. I also fast once a week. I stopped using plant-based oil. I only use Cow's fat for every thing I cook. Felt really better for the stomach. I never snack. My snacks are fruits, nuts, dates, etc. This is also good for the teeth.
@@Drberg what about sleep? A good sleep will heal all your body. Smart people, creative and strong usually have good and deep sleep. The organ which bennfits the most from sleep is the brain, it looks like sleep is made only for the brain.
Dr Berg, Suddenly I feel need to thank you again for all your help in my low carb journey. after 7 years I have undone most of high sugar damage. At 71, I need no medicine, and the tumor on my pituatary is gone. GOD BLESS YOU.
I am a living testimony that this works. I did many of the things listed by Dr. Eric berg after a 6 year drug abuse period of my life. At one point I would forget what I was talking about mid sentence. Loose my train of thought. I would in general not be able to articulate myself well. 2 years of a disciplined life and doing the above I’m always back to the way I was before I ever touched drugs. If you’re reading this there’s hope!
I want to say thank you, Dr. Erik Berg. I followed your instructions with the keto diet and intermediate fasting, and I lost 27 kilo in 8 months. I was 112kg, and my weight is 85, I just feel amazing. Thank you
I take time every few weeks to really watch Dr. Berg and try to make small, powerful, positive changes to my well being. They always leave me empowered and give easy to understand knowledge I can apply with nothing but will power. Being healthy noticable improves my musicianship and makes things easier to learn and remember. Thanks again Dr. Berg!
I do at least 12 of the 15 on a pretty regular basis. I think you left out a very important one thats been proven to stimulate/generate brain neurons and thats new learning. For example, learning a new language, how to play an musical instrument or learning to solve puzzles all are great stimulants for your brain.
Truly a list to follow for longevity, because the brain controls so many body functions, and it contribute greatly to the quality of life. I know you have mentioned it before but avoiding unnecessary negative stress will also improve the function of the brain. Edit: Corrected a typo.

i have been doing some of those, i workout 4-5 times a week, i do fast for 15-16 hours, i recently started doing cold showers and it's amazing, i do make saurkraut and eat it with meals, i do sleep 6-8 hours. i will add heath therapy and magnisum and vitamin b1 and zink and vitamin d. i eat alot of carbs i am struggling with this i will try to reduce my sugar and carb intake.
Thank you so much for this recap checklist 😊🙏 I could do (continue) the following: 1. Exercise regularly 2. Long walks 3. Infrared from Sunlight 4. Vitamin B1 5. Zinc 6. Probiotics 7. Fasting (with 2 meals) regularly and 1 meal occasionally 8. Egg yolks, fish for choline 9. Cold therapy (sometimes in winter, most in summer) 10. Heat therapy (most times in winter) 11. Plant based phytonutrients 12. Sufficient sleep What I will focus on to improve: Probiotics Long walks Sufficient(restful) sleep
Thank you Dr. Berg!!! Because of your guidance I have been incorporating many of these things already. That cold plunge will be the hard one for me, but I will work on this one. God bless you and your family. You a wonderful person Dr. Eric Berg!!
If you have issues doing a full body plunge, look at just washing your head with cold water with a shower head attachment, it can be very invigorating on it's own!
Amazing that the entire list to help the brain also helps you lose weight and stay healthy. Also, I love Cold showers! When I was taking cold showers for several weeks and I felt much sharper and alert. My work was a lot easier! Seems like a simple list just to stay healthy!
You are helping me heal and keep healthy my elder father and mother thank you so much I could never express to you how much this means to me. You're my hero ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I definitely need to get more sunlight and long walks, living in Scandinavia the winter is dark. I do drink to much coffee as well. 🌱🙏
I am taking cold shower since 4 years and it's instantly boost my moods. If i compared hot shower then it's may be good for relaxing but cold shower is still better for me.
I have been enthusiastically embracing ALL these things for a little over 2 year and am amazed at the effects ! After starting, I very quickly lost over forty pounds of fat, skin got clearer, energy level through the roof and have never felt better ! I am a 69 year old man, I now weigh what I did when I was a soldier in the Army and actually feel BETTER now because I was a smoker then. I am off all BP, acid reflux and allergy meds…thank you for speaking truth to the corrupt medical and pharmaceutical entities !!
@@maxsotelo9518 had a concussion with memory loss during football and then a year later started throwing up multiple times a day, developed TMJ, couldn’t concentrate, had crying spells, autonomic dysfunction. I quit football but never figured out what was wrong with me and kept a lot of it to myself. I spent 15 years trying different things and just dealing with the symptoms best I could. I didn’t have any paint on the front of my helmet after the season so could have just been multiple hits to the head over time or another concussion I wasn’t aware of. It wasn’t until I got Covid and had an EEG done for long covid that it showed evidence for brain damage consistent with head trauma
Cold therapy is interesting. I live in a van in the Nevada Desert and it is truly cold now. I am 70 and my short term memory is often not functional. In the last week in the extreme cold my memory is nearly normal and I have thought possibly something in my diet caused the improvement. Maybe I can thank the cold of winter.
I recently did a 3 day fast very carefully and eased into it, had electrolyte packets and matcha, went for little runs, took it real easy drank lots of water, I have to say the mental clarity I got after I did that was very noticeable and has lasted a few weeks now my relationship to food is reset and ive stopped binging, the thing with fasting is you want to go into it and come out of it gradually and not go hard off, hard on binging once you are "allowed" to eat again, just sit and notice all the good things that you're feeling and accept the parts of you that are consuming food constantly as a psychological tool, i was definitely in an addictive state in relation to food for a long while and it was taking a toll on my health this doctor is saying a lot of great things even if he is leading towards "buy my keto book" at the end, I am a fan of everything he is saying and he speaks very carefully, and does make sense to me. I would maybe add some more references and use less B roll
I have had a bad Lorry Smash years ago in the 80s, and got Brain damage on the right hand side after listening to you Telling me want to eat, I am Feeling better Thank you Doc
A doctor of ours who used natural healing as much as possible (back in the day) recommended taking your walks where there are trees or where there is moving (I think that was the word he used) water. Apparently, both affect the air positively in some way.
I use infrared everyday and get out in the sun everyday, it is like a drug it does something to the brain, I'm not sure how it does it but it makes me totally relaxed, relieves pain and makes me sleep.
Thank you for sharing great insights! Here are my two cents: 🧬 Neurogenesis: The brain can regenerate neurons, particularly in the hippocampus, influencing memory and learning. This challenges the outdated belief that we lose brain cells over time. 💪 Exercise for the Brain: Regular aerobic exercise increases oxygen flow, essential for brain function and neurogenesis. It lowers the risk of cognitive decline as we age. ⏲ Fasting Benefits: Intermittent and prolonged fasting can enhance brain repair mechanisms and reduce inflammation, providing a break from constant energy intake. 🥶 Cold Therapy: Engaging in cold exposure, such as cold showers or ice baths, has been shown to stimulate the production of new brain cells, enhancing cognitive abilities. 🐠 Omega-3 Importance: Consuming omega-3 fatty acids is crucial for maintaining brain health as they make up a significant portion of brain cell membranes and support overall cognitive functions. ☀ Sunlight’s Role: Natural sunlight provides vitamin D and infrared energy, both of which are beneficial for brain health, highlighting the importance of outdoor activity. 🥚 Nutrient-Rich Foods: Foods high in choline support the synthesis of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for memory and learning, emphasizing the need for a nutrient-dense diet.
1. Exercise 2. Fast from 5pm to 9am a few days a week. 3. Cold therapy 4. Omega 3 / Omega 6 balancing 5. Reduce Glucose / Carb / refined food 6. Probiotics 7. Organic 8. Green tea 9. Infra red 10. Grass fed beef 21. Fish 22. Sleep, reduce phone time I do all these but could do more consistent
Very important video!!! Our brains are awesome impossible machines! Also, I'd look into psychoactive mushrooms, they're being used and studied for PTSD and depression therapy. They massively induce neuroplasticity.
I had a huge success with fasting. I struggled badly with memory for a while and felt that my brain was significantly slower than it had been as I was depressed for a couple years. About a month ago I stopped eating for three days and had only a small amount of cream in my coffee and an occasional shot of pickle juice. After this fast, my memory has been much better. I am better at my job and in college. Also, I am a musician and I can read and learn music much easier than before. The best part is my depression has greatly improved, but I only eat two meals a day now and keto. If I eat carbs I get depressed again.
Fasting, cold fasting, heat therapy, cod liver oil, sunlight, b1, prebiotic, low coffee, grandmother, mother 2 aunts and 3 uncles all were diagnosed with alzheimer. So I try to do better. Just need to get my weight done. Have 2knee both hips and left shoulder replacement. Trying

I am going to give a simplified version of how the brain works. Neurons and nerves send electrical signals to each other. This requires electrical conductive minerals. What happens when the brain gets full of toxic metals that short circuit these neurons? Aluminum being one of the worst offenders. Think Alzheimer's and Autism. Imagine if you replaced all of the copper wiring inside your house with aluminum wiring. It would not conduct electricity. Imagine if your body was full of aluminum (and other toxic metals)? Your brain and nerves become impaired. This is normal today. This causes nerve damage, impaired cognitive function, etc. What is the solution? Foods high in raw minerals AND raw fats and proteins. Raw fish, raw organs, raw milk products, raw meat, raw eggs, raw butter, you get the picture. These regenerate all cells in your body, not just your brain. Also lets talk about copper. That is the material of choice for electrical wiring. The food highest in copper is liver. The name Liver comes from Live, Alive. You literally feel alive when you eat liver. Why is that? Could it be that it increases electrical conductivity in the body? Since eating copious amounts of raw liver (and other foods) over a few years, my lazy eye is gone and is now straight. What causes a lazy eye? Nerve damage. God's design of creation is perfect and can always be regenerated in time.
thank you!
God bless you !
What about Lion's mane mushrooms?
I spent years with chronic stomach issues and years of taking new pills and medications without a diagnosis, I started every morning with extreme stomach pain and or nausea I rarely went to school on time of not at all. After watching you I started fasting and letting my stomach heal and little did I know how that would change everything, first my energy levels increased I was willing to start running again. It only took a couple months to fix what doctors couldn't in years. This has vastly expanded my capacity of living happily and I am now on a journey for the last 2 years to prove that we can restore our body's to levels above our previous feats, I have healed my lungs from years of smoking and can now run over 10 miles and have found motivation and discipline to create a business as a side effect of all this, you have truly played a part in my journey to the top and I want to thank you Dr.Berg. God bless all of you have hope and have a blessed life❤
That is incredible. Congratulations! Thank you for sharing. That’s inspiring.
Thank you for sharing. I believe you! your comment inspired me!
Didn't fasting precipitate gastritis?
I want to add qigong to your list. After years of experiencing brain fog I started qigong in Jan 2023. Within two weeks my brain started to function much better my memory and concentration has improved. I can focus on what people are saying to me without having a million other thoughts going through my mind. I no longer have repetitive music playing in my head. It's amazing!
Lovely lady what was the product you named I need to get that
qigong is a locus of breathing techniques similar to pranayama@@HelenJohnson-i4r
@@HelenJohnson-i4r QiGong is an ancient Chinese exercise involving movements of the body to increase energy flow
One thing that caught my attention in this video was at the 2:00 minute mark. Dr. Berg says not to remind others of their lapses in memory. It actually does harm. I've noticed Dr. Berg's approach in his videos is one of encouragement and things we can do to improve. He doesn't go negative like so many others do. He does not try and scare you.
THIS IS SO TRUE, ive noticed this when you make a schedule or set reminders you find yourself not being able to remember anything cos u know u have reminders set. But when u keep it all in ur brain you find that you're able to recall that information with a few seconds of thinking
I have to just say this straight up: Dr. Berg you are an absolute TREASURE to the community of health and medicine! I mean that very sincerely because I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and it absolutely blows my mind how you have such extensive knowledge of literally anything I’m thinking about it or seeking for my family for better health. Your knowledge of holistic approaches to medicine, fasting, remedies, etc., is very crucial and impactful in the lives of MILLIONS of people across the globe! Brutally honest truth: you know WAAAAAYYYY more than many of these MDs (not trying to bash medical professionals but I’m just saying it like it is). I can’t thank you enough for the gift of knowledge of pretty much any remedy I could seek and reap the benefits of from your videos. Thank you very much, Dr Berg 🙏
indeed... I would also recommend Dr Suneel Dhand for the same reasons. And since we're talking about physicians, even Dr Rand Paul is healthy to follow although for more political reasons ;)
Medicine should be this: for the people!

Yes, very well said and feel the same!
What they said is how I feel too. Thank you Dr.
@@mariovicente thanks for the suggestions 😁👍 I’m aware of Dr Paul Rand and I do also think he’s amazing! I could also check out Dr. Suneel Dhand 😃
Cool so I walk when I golf twice a week, stretching, intermittent fast, low carb diet, Benfotimine B1, sauerkraut every meal, red light therapy, cod liver oil, olive oil, butter, MCT oils and fish oil caps, no sugar, take hot baths, taking D3-K2, green tea, cacao and MCT in my coffee AM, sleep 7-8 hrs a night, and more!

I think you might have missed below mentioned points that are proven to increase not just connection between different regions of brain but regenrate cells as well:
1. Learning to play musical instrument, music notation and complex classical music
2. Learning to dance (specially latin dances like salsa, bachata)
3. Using medicinal herbs like ashwagandha
4. Practicing meditation
G'day Dr. Eric, great video. Thank you for confirming ALL of my research. I am doing everything on your list and have never felt better at the age of 51. At 23, I had a very severe traumatic head injury. It took me until I was 50 and divorced to realise that no one else would if I didn't look after myself. I have taken most of your advice in the last 6 months and I feel better and more clear than I did at 21. My best move is Turmeric. I hate the way it stains everything. However, it has done the most to improve my physical and mental well-being. Freezing cold showers, OMG, I wake up and have a 2-5 minute cold shower and feel absolutely ready for anything, EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Dr. Berg's videos have had a huge impact on my life. I've been on a keto-diet/intermittent fasting regimen for 8 months now. I've lost 58lbs and feel so much better. While I still enjoy the food I eat, I don't treat it as recreation. Eating two meals per day - within my 6 hour feeding window - has taught me to be 'intentional' about the fuel I'm feeding my body.
Way to go!
Have to say, Doc, that I'm glad I found you. Five years ago cancer claimed my wife ( liver cancer, ironically). I descended into grief, alcohol, lockdowns ( quite severe here in Melbourne, Aus ), and "life" was pretty poor. 170 days ago, after being a VERY heavy drinker I spontaneously gave up alcohol. Surprisingly, at 69 yo, my liver is in relatively good shape, but I figure it needs all the help it can get. Your vids have inspired me to give it to it. I'm just beginning, and it's a struggle to break bad habits, but if I can break the 5 bottles of vodka ( plus a few other things like strong beer ) a week habit then the rest can't be impossible, right?
Thank you.
Life is too beatiful to be spent on drinking. I am sure your wife would not want you to be in such a grief. When I die I want people to be thankful for the time they HAD with me and not be in grief for the time we cannot have in the future.
I hope you get your things sorted out. It's your choice.
@@whoknows8223 We honour those passed by living life the best that we can. It's what they would want. There's been a lot of information coming out lately about just how bad drinking alcohol really is for you, and your brain. The less you drink the better off you'll be, though i'm still inclined to have a social drink or few from time to time.
Keep going,the real thing to plan for is after your last breath.I pray that Our Father Who is in heaven will bless you in Jesus's name
@I'm happy
So your point with this comment is...??? 🤔 🤷🏼♀️
Finding the right motivation is the key, focus on positive aspects of your life and brush off the rest.
Avoiding moments linked to past bad habits also makes it easier, for example, if watching sports is linked mentally to smoking or drinking, change it for a long walk in the mountains or something else that satisfies you positively (while you listen to the game or just look at the results or a resume of the best moments the next day) 😉
You can't change the past, but you can work on your "now", step by step and day by day; there will be lower moments of course but don't let that get in the way as tomorrow is another fresh new day, block that "bad day" and continue the right way.
It's never too late and everything little step helps, I'm sure you can do it 💪🏼
I wish you all the best in your new you journey 🤗

Thank you!! Great summary!
No point in low carb diet. Heard it’s not that good for your heart. Just be sure to fast at least a couple times a year and some intermittent fasting throughout that
@@jasper1583Wrong, stop spreading misinformation. Low carb/keto is amazing for a lot of people (not everyone). If you are to eat carbs, it’s the quality of carbs that are important. Not “pointless”. Just because you “hear” it, doesn’t mean it’s true. Do your research.
@@Hadleyaustin96 not “misinformation” 😂. For young people like myself and especially those who are very physically active eating carbs is definitely ideal. Especially when there are so many healthy sources
@jasper1583 I agree. lifestyle should depict your diet. I'm really physically active, and carbs are my friend.

Always on point. I've integrated most of these so that they are now a habitual part of my routine. May I add one more: Quitting alcohol has been a game changer for me. Next level. 3 months completely sober now and never felt better. I'm sure some can manage the appropriate dosage, but my inner voice told me to quit.
I guess I'm in pretty good shape because I'm already doing many of the things on this list... I exercise 3x per week, fast 18+ hrs per day, omega 3s, B vitamins, probiotic, IR light therapy, huge salad 5x per week, etc. My biggest deficiencies are poor sleep and still too many carbs, but I am working on these things and steadily improving. Cancer, heart disease and dementia run in my family, and both parents died relatively young from these conditions, so I am trying my best to outsmart my genetics. Thanks for these invaluable tips!
I'd consider upping your exercise and decreasing your salads -- well, leafy greens in particular. If your salad consists mainly of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, etc., then no big deal. If you're eating a ton of kale and spinach, I'd cut those out due to oxalates and other anti-nutrients.
Just sharing what I've learned! Keep up the good work. 💪
@@asplmn I'm doing just fine, in the best health of my life. If you do a variety of things to maintain good health, as I do, you don't need as much exercise as you might think. 3x per week is more than enough. Also, veggies (including various greens) are THE staple of a healthy diet, along with healthy fats and grass fed proteins. Green veggies are packed with phytonutrients that fight disease. I've done my research.
Well done you my friend
@@asplmns a qualified nutritionist I would say your advice on replacing leafy greens with cucumber & tomato salad is misinformed!Lots of misinformation on internet!
@@user-cz7sb1ow5d Well, I'm not the only one who thinks pounding spinach everyday is not a good idea. These qualified nutritional researchers also think it's less than ideal too:
"rhubarb, spinach and beet are other common high oxalate-content foods. Vegetarians who consume greater amounts of vegetables will have a higher intake of oxalates, which may reduce calcium availability. This may be an increased risk factor for women, who require greater amounts of calcium in the diet. In humans, diets low in calcium and high in oxalates are not recommended but the occasional consumption of high oxalate foods as part of a nuritious diet does not pose any particular problem."
-Bsc, S.N. and (1999), Oxalate content of foods and its effect on humans. Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 8: 64-74.
I'm doing all of those, except sufficient sleep. Good quality sleep, but too few hours I believe. I've been watching this channel for more than a year by now, and it stands clear how much I've improved since. These are teachings that I share with my patients.
Yep. In my case, I had to stop drinking any fluids after 4 pm in the afternoon. It was the only way that I could get 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night without getting up. I also use a CPAC machine. That has helped me a lot as well. I had a bad case of sleep apnea and I didn't know it until I got tested.
That's a wonderful compliment
I can do the following: exercise (long walks); fasting (one meal in a day); cold therapy (cold shower); omega 3 (cod liver or fish oils & cook with butter); low carb diet (generate key tones, take mct oil, use the sauna); Vitamin B1 intake; probiotics; veggies grown in soils with microbes, organic foods, sun exposure, quercitin, rem sleep, and zinc.
Dr. Berg, Thank You for this presentation. I have lived a life of fitness before, amd after my days in the United States Marine's. I have followed your nutrition presentations for years, and apply them. I unfortunately acquired a traumatic Brain injury on 06/20/04, and everyday is a cognitive overload sometimes. Please keep up your talented work in Wellness.

Neurons regenerate in the brain, rate determined cognitive function
List of things to do to increase brain regeneration, add to your lifestyle
✦
Reminding someone of memory problems can make it worse
01:47
Correcting someone's memory mistakes can cause them to make more mistakes
Focusing too much on memory can actually make it worse
✦
Regular aerobic exercise and fasting can enhance brain function.
03:25
Long walks or exercise that increases oxygen intake is best.
Intermittent or prolonged fasting for at least 16-18 hours and two meals a day is ideal.
✦
Support your brain with Cold Therapy, Exercise and Omega-3
05:20
Cold therapy stimulates the regeneration of the brain cells while exercising in the cold environment is good for the brain
Omega-3, specifically DHA, found in cod liver oil is beneficial for brain growth while oxidized oils like vegetable oils heated with solvents have a negative effect
✦
Low carb diets and ketones can be a better fuel for the brain than glucose
07:11
Eating a high carb diet can lead to glucose hypo metabolism and nerve cell destruction
Lowering carb intake can generate ketones which can feed neurons directly
✦
Foods and nutrients that benefit brain health
09:02
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is beneficial for brain health and thiamine deficiency can lead to degeneration of neurons
Probiotics improve gut health, and gut health is connected to brain health
✦
Various foods and the sun can benefit the brain
10:46
Consumption of diverse vegetables, organic foods and food high in choline can support brain health
Exposure to infrared rays from the sun and plant-based phytonutrients can also help with brain function
✦
Consuming animal products - grass-fed vs grain-fed and sufficient sleep are important for brain health
12:32
Choose animal products with omega-6 to omega-3 ratios around 1:1 to reduce inflammation
Get good quality sleep to support nerve cell regeneration, avoid excessive caffeine intake and consider zinc supplements to support hippocampus function
Incerdible how our body can and does respond to natural stuff, the right struff, thank you DR. Berg. Good work.
Dr. Berg, G-d bless you. You are saving lives through RUclips! Just downloaded your app. I’ve been watching you for years, but have needed you even more in the last year after receiving a cancer and autoimmune diagnosis. I thought I was young and untouchable! 😂 Those vegan meats (highly unrecommended) and greasy fries will catch up to you! The processed foods, stress and the current state of our environment is really doing a number on so many of us, but we will overcome! If you’re watching this now, you’re already on your path to healing!
Currently on a 40 day water fast after doing months of research and not having any luck with these doctors. Felt completely ignored. Took things into my own hands and so far I’m fine, on day 18. Watching your videos really helps me. I feel like I have a personal doctor that actually CARES about my life. Thank you for all you’re doing for so many of us who have sought to heal ourselves during such a difficult time in medical history. Now more than ever, we need voices like yours to steer us towards optimum health. Health is wealth. Best of luck to everyone who’s trying to heal and live better lives. May your blessings flow, generations to come.❤
I can confirm this to be 99% correct. I finished as 2nd best student in my last uni exam, after religiously do morning HIIT exercise and intermittent fasting consistently since the start of the semester.
I never made into top 10 before doing those 2.
that's awesome!
I'm worried about that other 1%.....
How many hours do you fast? 16/8 or 20/4 or OMAD?
@The Truth has been spoken i am doing 16/8 twice a week most of the time. Sometimes I do 20/4, and i never try OMAD before.
And just in case anyone wondering, I do HIIT exercise three times a week for a duration of 10-15 minutes each session. And I also do calisthenics for muscle building also three times a week for 45-60 minutes each session. I take my rest day on weekend.
You didn't mention the main factor. Doing all these things can make you feel a little healthy and happy only.
We live in a world that simply wants us to not do these things
So glad I already do most of these things but I'll try to add in more. My parents are both running into memory issues and I believe more exercise, less sugar, less snacks, better sleep, healthier foods would be the first place to start for them.
As an M.D. who diagnoses brain and vision nerve problems, I want to thank Dr. Berg for the 5th year in a row..He provides valuable, factual, beneficial medical information...I feel this list of 15 could have/should have included Vitamin D with his vitamins(7) and the minerals (15) should/must include Magnesium with his Zinc minerals. (11) could include Omega 3 (like wild-caught salmon(farm-raised are almost worthless)
Krill Oil, cold pressed is the best Omega
It was a good video (you allude to the consistent quality of his video's. We all have a responsibility to do a little research, ourselves.)
Considerations can be exhaustive, so I believe this was enough, in this video. Vit D, magnesium etc (not to omit K2) appear in other work. We live and learn, yet in reality we only need to eat a varied diet of fresh food in moderation and keep active and social enough, for a pleasant outcome. Respect though, to you•
I'm curious about the Omega3. Would algae oil work the same way, or how would it be different?
he included the sun as vitamin D source.
and arent storebought vitamin D is actually garbage?
@NayNay-sg2ou needs copper too
I’ve adopted fasting again. I try not to eat 2 hours before bed. I get up for work, go to work and don’t eat until I get home after my shift. Then I have a meal after feeding the dogs and a snack a while later. I knew Dr. B would suggest exercising so I have to do more. The oils I cook with are good. The rest I’m gonna have to improve on. Cold shower in the winter uh uh. Maybe in the summer after I mow the yard. 😊
Dr. Eric, I'm a lawyer from Brazil and also a HUGE fucking FAN. Your work spreading extremely valid information just benefits the life of lots of people among the Globe. Be proud of your reach. What you do is a true blessing for everyone. Don't forget.
And also, thanks for everything. You helped me along a lot of body/brain - health causes and aspects.
God Bless You.
Thank you for mentioning the sunlight. Been scared of it for years due to skin cancer anxiety.
I spent one day in the sun and felt years of anxiety and depression lifted. Tanning beds do not work, they’re cheap dopamine (I used to be addicted too- didn’t even realize it either). Natural sunlight feels amazing and I had no idea how much it could do. I can sleep again. Thank you!
I really appreciate doctors like Berg who share important information on health issues. Thanks a ton.
We need real sunlight, something I haven’t seen in years. Now we have deadly chemicals raining down on us and contaminating our water/food/air. I love your videos and I’m sorry to be Debbie downer but we’re in big trouble in America.
And then we have the recent chemical spill. Sounds like an American Nightmare
If you think that is bad. 50% of my country is unemployed. I sit without food 3/4 weeks every month. I fast because I have to🤣oh i'm in hell - South Africa.
P
It is happening worldwide 😶
Same here in the U.K., they are spraying and poisoning our water too.
After following your advice and experiencing the results for the better part of a year, it's official-you're my guru!
Many thanks, Dr. Berg.
What i can do:
Long walks regularly
Fasting prolonged and intermittent
Cold showers
Omega 3 and zinc
Cut vegetable oil decrease carbs
Consume fermented vegetables
Sunlight exposure
Sufficient sleep most days
I like how Dr. Berg apologized for heat therapy not being as effective as cold! I struggle with cold therapy most of the year, wish me luck.
The best ways to improve brain health:
1. Exercise
2. Do intermittent fasting and periodic prolonged fasting
3. Do cold therapy
4. Consume cod liver oil
5. Get on a low-carb diet (Healthy Keto®)
6. Do heat therapy
7. Consume vitamin B1
8. Consume probiotics
9. Get plenty of sunlight (infrared light and vitamin D)
10. Consume plant-based phytonutrients
11. Consume foods high in choline
12. Consume grass-fed animal products
13. Get sufficient sleep
14. Drink coffee
15. Consume zinc
Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿

Thanks again for another excellent video!
Some things I know contribute to my healthy neuroplasticity are:
1.Not owning or watching a tv set for the past 40 years.
2. Studying and utilizing the information in all of Dr. Bergs presentations.
3. No longer worrying about the health beliefs of friends and relatives that think I'm a "health nut":-) If they ask my advice, I'll point them to a particular Dr. Berg video...but most people just don't want to know the truth. They go to their doctor's office as though they're attending church.
4. I try to surf at least twice a week if the waves are good.

No tv but have a computer instead.
We can't hide from info or learning
My television set is the monitor for my computer. Does that count? I'm communicating with you, right now, through my television set.
YaBBa DaBBa Do !🤣
I dont think completely avoiding TV has a great impact on your brain but more so what you watch and decide to spend your time viewing. If you had a TV and watched documentaries non stop I cant imagine that not helping your brain. Also a computer is a great resource for learning and expanding your thought capacity but if you spend all your time on social media its obviously going to have a negative effect.
FRANK ZAPPA lyrics from a 60s era song-
"I am gross & perverted.
I'm obsessed & deranged.
I'm the tool of the government & industry too.
Have you guessed me yet?
I'm the slime easing out of your TV set."
you think you or dr berg know the truth....that's why it's dangerous to take an advice from you
Doing currently: OMAD at least twice a week, IF other days; Cod Liver Oil; Probiotic; Plant-based phytonutrients; Coffee in moderate amounts, Vitamin B1. Working towards - Regular aerobic exercise, Infrared from Sunlight, periodic long fasts, sufficient sleep, and cold therapy. Thanks, Dr Berg!
Doctor sincerely deserves a Noble Prize
Something better. Obama, Al Gore, Paul Krugman & Ben Bernanke won Nobel prizes.
@@mikeofallonI was gonna say lol, they only give that to criminals.
what r u saying bro this all common information he just happened to make a video that he has already made like 15 times nobel prize winners are smart people who actually discover something revolutionizing. Listing down a few ways to increase neuroplasticity is not very nobel prize worthy but I respect your enthusiam and kidness it's rare to see that nowadays other than simps. But seriously yeah stuff in this video is very helpful for people who don't know anything but if you know a bit about nutriotnal chemistry you would know this is far from every single way but still nice video.
@@austinlittle1638 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
A serious and honest and credible doctor wouldn't title this video "5X Your BRAIN CELLS". That's an absurd lie.
I can do the 1st two things on the list thanks be to God (exercise and fasting). I am middle aged and everything you said in the video made perfect sense. My memory is really bad and i think one of the main causes is staying inside too much (lack of exercise and harmful frequencies of modern technologies/equipment, poor diet etc).
I was 400lbs give or take about 8-9 years ago. even just grabbing your sneakers and heading out the door coupled with the diet plan Dr. Berg recommends with help. I started barely making a half mile walk now I bike 25 miles in about 2 hours. Also, there are plenty of at home programs if you are really bad off like DDPY that will help you with mobility and strength training without weights.
This is why I want to retire early... so I can do daily work outside for exercise, fresh air and have my own home grown food. Currently I am stuck working from home and by the time my day ends it's dark outside.
@@NTJedi FYI, I worked from home the last two years before retiring. I took breaks every two hours for 15-20 minutes and went outside. I did exercises for my eyes, soaked in as much sun and fresh air as I could, did some physical therapy for my back, and grounded (bare feet on the grass). Helped immensely and having the work day as disciplinary framewok ensured I did this every day. Hope I can encourage you to do the same. Do what you can, however small!
@@DWStewart Thanks... my career was rocky during the previous 6 years since billion dollar companies make bad decisions regarding outsourcing and costs. I have finally been employed by a company which pays better and won't be replacing me with somebody from overseas.
So I'm now able to begin devoting time back to my health instead of only focused on my career.
I absolutely love the advice in regards to fasting as long as possible and having one meal a day. It makes sense that we as humans, like all other organisms ought to engage with the natural environment which has supported our evolution in the ways which human beings have done for all time basically. Sitting around with every convenience at hand tells your body to not engage in the natural processes that it normally would if you were actively pursuing survival in the real world. It makes sense logically and intuitively. Thank you Dr berg for being a shining light of knowledge and truth, you sir, are the man

Hey, I heard on Huberman's channel that you can also mimick that brain growth process that young children go through. If you fast from a bunch of sensory things. Fast from all entertainment, from good foods etc. Pretty much be a monk. You can recreate what happens to young children and teenagers and grow some neurons.
I know Im explaining it wrong somehow but it was Huberman's channel.
I knew that story of the age limitation to brain cells production was a con. So I have done it with mine. but then be ready to develop your patience to another league with people around you. Top video Dr Berg. Thanks
Heart cells too I bet. They say you can't regenerate those either, but they lie about absolutely everything.
Greetings! I’m doing about 7 of these things and feel major and subtle improvements. Been on vegan healthy keto for about 5 weeks and have lost about 26 lbs. My back and joint pain has diminished to not needing pain meds, I feel a little bit more energetic, and I have noticed my brain is working better than it was before I started keto. I watch your videos every day, and I can add a couple more of these things on the list to keep improving. Thank you, Dr Berg!
😊👍
Meditation, Cold plunges, Binaural beats, Lions mane, Exercise, Fasting, Sunlight
Back in the early 2000s, I read studies where elevated oxygen therapy was used to re-grow brain tissue after traumatic brain injuries. IIRC, treatment was on the order of 30% oxygen (i.e., 50% increase in available oxygen) for 30 to 60 minutes at +1 atmosphere once per week. The results presented were stunning. Perhaps a number 16 for the list.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy comes up a lot in my tbi groups.
@@markmeme4275 Hi. Yes, I believe he has a video on that topic as well.
@@markmeme4275 I questioned the retina MD about hyperbaric oxygen tank after eye surgery...helps in macular edema reduction
I started with cold water therapy. It's amazing. I really felt alive again. I haven't catch a cold this whole winter since I started doing it every day when waking up.
Also, I exercise a lot.
I also fast once a week.
I stopped using plant-based oil. I only use Cow's fat for every thing I cook. Felt really better for the stomach.
I never snack. My snacks are fruits, nuts, dates, etc.
This is also good for the teeth.
Just completed recently an eleven day fast . Brain/body felt great
How to do it. One i hit just 12 hours of fast I’m feeling too much tired. 😢
@@naveensaichandu6921yeah if I go above 15 hours I feel like my soul is about to leave my body.

Dr Berg spitting facts. It's all reversible. The human body is amazing. Absolutely love the truth you are a blessing ❤️
I do exercise in the sun (walking), 16/8 fasting every day, fish oils, low carb, probiotics. Thanks for your videos they are great
I got 10 out of 15 because I have watching your videos and applying as much as possible! I can add the other 5, thank you Dr. Berg.
That's great!
@@Drberg what about sleep? A good sleep will heal all your body.
Smart people, creative and strong usually have good and deep sleep.
The organ which bennfits the most from sleep is the brain, it looks like sleep is made only for the brain.
Dr Berg, Suddenly I feel need to thank you again for all your help in my low carb journey. after 7 years I have undone most of high sugar damage. At 71, I need no medicine, and the tumor on my pituatary is gone. GOD BLESS YOU.
I am a living testimony that this works. I did many of the things listed by Dr. Eric berg after a 6 year drug abuse period of my life. At one point I would forget what I was talking about mid sentence. Loose my train of thought. I would in general not be able to articulate myself well. 2 years of a disciplined life and doing the above I’m always back to the way I was before I ever touched drugs. If you’re reading this there’s hope!
did your long term memory improve too? ability to learn
That's great to hear.
I want to say thank you, Dr. Erik Berg. I followed your instructions with the keto diet and intermediate fasting, and I lost 27 kilo in 8 months. I was 112kg, and my weight is 85, I just feel amazing. Thank you
I take time every few weeks to really watch Dr. Berg and try to make small, powerful, positive changes to my well being. They always leave me empowered and give easy to understand knowledge I can apply with nothing but will power. Being healthy noticable improves my musicianship and makes things easier to learn and remember. Thanks again Dr. Berg!
4:38 Does this count sleeping hours?
Yeah
That’s what we were taught in Med school, about neurons. Science will always change with new discoveries.
I do at least 12 of the 15 on a pretty regular basis. I think you left out a very important one thats been proven to stimulate/generate brain neurons and thats new learning. For example, learning a new language, how to play an musical instrument or learning to solve puzzles all are great stimulants for your brain.
I'm always amazed at Dr. Berg's technical knowledge.
Truly a list to follow for longevity, because the brain controls so many body functions, and it contribute greatly to the quality of life.
I know you have mentioned it before but avoiding unnecessary negative stress will also improve the function of the brain.
Edit: Corrected a typo.
Dr. Berg, G-d bless you. You are saving lives through RUclips! Just downloaded your app. I’ve been watching you for years, but have needed you even more in the last year after receiving a cancer and autoimmune diagnosis. I thought I was young and untouchable! Those vegan meats (highly unrecommended) and greasy fries will catch up to you! The processed foods, stress and the current state of our environment is really doing a number on so many of us, but we will overcome! If you’re watching this now, you’re already on your path to healing!
Currently on a 40 day water fast after doing months of research and not having any luck with these doctors. Felt completely ignored. Took things into my own hands and so far I’m fine, on day 18. Watching your videos really helps me. I feel like I have a personal doctor that actually CARES about my life. Thank you for all you’re doing for so many of us who have sought to heal ourselves during such a difficult time in medical history. Now more than ever, we need voices like yours to steer us towards optimum health. Health is wealth. Best of luck to everyone who’s trying to heal and live better lives. May your blessings flow, generations to come.
i have been doing some of those, i workout 4-5 times a week, i do fast for 15-16 hours, i recently started doing cold showers and it's amazing, i do make saurkraut and eat it with meals, i do sleep 6-8 hours. i will add heath therapy and magnisum and vitamin b1 and zink and vitamin d. i eat alot of carbs i am struggling with this i will try to reduce my sugar and carb intake.

Why does at 2:06 the light in his room turn on?
Pls let's share this and make sure that he gets to 10million subscribers by 2nd half of this year. This info is priceless. We love you Dr Berg.
Learning from these videos generates 100x the brain cells.
Thank you Dr. Berg!!! Because of your guidance I have been incorporating many of these things already. That cold plunge will be the hard one for me, but I will work on this one. God bless you and your family. You a wonderful person Dr. Eric Berg!!
If you have issues doing a full body plunge, look at just washing your head with cold water with a shower head attachment, it can be very invigorating on it's own!
@@Chris-ew9mh thank you .
Could you explain in another video why nuts increase gamma and delta brainwaves and what antioxidant is responsible for it inside the nuts
Freestyle of any kind. ie) rap, dance, painting. Another great video Dr. Berg, thank you for sharing your information.
Had a “lightbulb” moment at 10:26.
Amazing that the entire list to help the brain also helps you lose weight and stay healthy. Also, I love Cold showers! When I was taking cold showers for several weeks and I felt much sharper and alert. My work was a lot easier! Seems like a simple list just to stay healthy!
You are helping me heal and keep healthy my elder father and mother thank you so much I could never express to you how much this means to me. You're my hero ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I definitely need to get more sunlight and long walks, living in Scandinavia the winter is dark. I do drink to much coffee as well. 🌱🙏
I am taking cold shower since 4 years and it's instantly boost my moods. If i compared hot shower then it's may be good for relaxing but cold shower is still better for me.
Hello! Yes, amazing benefits. Here is a video with additional information on the topic 👉 ruclips.net/video/-IvJ15Ug6fc/видео.html
I have been enthusiastically embracing ALL these things for a little over 2 year and am amazed at the effects ! After starting, I very quickly lost over forty pounds of fat, skin got clearer, energy level through the roof and have never felt better ! I am a 69 year old man, I now weigh what I did when I was a soldier in the Army and actually feel BETTER now because I was a smoker then. I am off all BP, acid reflux and allergy meds…thank you for speaking truth to the corrupt medical and pharmaceutical entities !!
dr berg is like wine: gets more handsome with age
I found out I had a brain injury and it took me 15 years of experimenting to realize all the things on this list. This is very valuable information!
What happened?
@@maxsotelo9518 had a concussion with memory loss during football and then a year later started throwing up multiple times a day, developed TMJ, couldn’t concentrate, had crying spells, autonomic dysfunction.
I quit football but never figured out what was wrong with me and kept a lot of it to myself. I spent 15 years trying different things and just dealing with the symptoms best I could. I didn’t have any paint on the front of my helmet after the season so could have just been multiple hits to the head over time or another concussion I wasn’t aware of.
It wasn’t until I got Covid and had an EEG done for long covid that it showed evidence for brain damage consistent with head trauma
Cold therapy is interesting. I live in a van in the Nevada Desert and it is truly cold now. I am 70 and my short term memory is often not functional. In the last week in the extreme cold my memory is nearly normal and I have thought possibly something in my diet caused the improvement. Maybe I can thank the cold of winter.
Definitely something to do with you being a superconductor because current flows better and faster at extremely low temperatures.. Lol!
I recently did a 3 day fast very carefully and eased into it, had electrolyte packets and matcha, went for little runs, took it real easy drank lots of water, I have to say the mental clarity I got after I did that was very noticeable and has lasted a few weeks
now my relationship to food is reset and ive stopped binging, the thing with fasting is you want to go into it and come out of it gradually and not go hard off, hard on binging once you are "allowed" to eat again, just sit and notice all the good things that you're feeling and accept the parts of you that are consuming food constantly as a psychological tool, i was definitely in an addictive state in relation to food for a long while and it was taking a toll on my health
this doctor is saying a lot of great things even if he is leading towards "buy my keto book" at the end, I am a fan of everything he is saying and he speaks very carefully, and does make sense to me. I would maybe add some more references and use less B roll
Excellent feedback. Thank you very much for sharing it.
I have had a bad Lorry Smash years ago in the 80s, and got Brain damage on the right hand side after listening to you Telling me want to eat, I am Feeling better Thank you Doc
A doctor of ours who used natural healing as much as possible (back in the day) recommended taking your walks where there are trees or where there is moving (I think that was the word he used) water. Apparently, both affect the air positively in some way.
He sounded like an excellent physician.
The Japanese call it Forest Bathing
I use infrared everyday and get out in the sun everyday, it is like a drug it does something to the brain, I'm not sure how it does it but it makes me totally relaxed, relieves pain and makes me sleep.
Production of cellular Melatonin!
After Skibidi Toilet I feel like this won't work.
I fast every day from 12:00 at night to 6:00 in the evening.
And a train every day running plus 500 push ups
Thank you for sharing great insights! Here are my two cents:
🧬 Neurogenesis: The brain can regenerate neurons, particularly in the hippocampus, influencing memory and learning. This challenges the outdated belief that we lose brain cells over time.
💪 Exercise for the Brain: Regular aerobic exercise increases oxygen flow, essential for brain function and neurogenesis. It lowers the risk of cognitive decline as we age.
⏲ Fasting Benefits: Intermittent and prolonged fasting can enhance brain repair mechanisms and reduce inflammation, providing a break from constant energy intake.
🥶 Cold Therapy: Engaging in cold exposure, such as cold showers or ice baths, has been shown to stimulate the production of new brain cells, enhancing cognitive abilities.
🐠 Omega-3 Importance: Consuming omega-3 fatty acids is crucial for maintaining brain health as they make up a significant portion of brain cell membranes and support overall cognitive functions.
☀ Sunlight’s Role: Natural sunlight provides vitamin D and infrared energy, both of which are beneficial for brain health, highlighting the importance of outdoor activity.
🥚 Nutrient-Rich Foods: Foods high in choline support the synthesis of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for memory and learning, emphasizing the need for a nutrient-dense diet.
1. Exercise
2. Fast from 5pm to 9am a few days a week.
3. Cold therapy
4. Omega 3 / Omega 6 balancing
5. Reduce Glucose / Carb / refined food
6. Probiotics
7. Organic
8. Green tea
9. Infra red
10. Grass fed beef
21. Fish
22. Sleep, reduce phone time
I do all these but could do more consistent
Very important video!!! Our brains are awesome impossible machines! Also, I'd look into psychoactive mushrooms, they're being used and studied for PTSD and depression therapy. They massively induce neuroplasticity.
I have family that microdoses on .30gram five days a week and it helps tremendously with their depression.

I had a huge success with fasting. I struggled badly with memory for a while and felt that my brain was significantly slower than it had been as I was depressed for a couple years. About a month ago I stopped eating for three days and had only a small amount of cream in my coffee and an occasional shot of pickle juice. After this fast, my memory has been much better. I am better at my job and in college. Also, I am a musician and I can read and learn music much easier than before. The best part is my depression has greatly improved, but I only eat two meals a day now and keto. If I eat carbs I get depressed again.
I'd say the biggest factor in brain power is no alcohol, at all.
