I am not a diabetic but have had hypoglycemic episodes since I began working out again in my early 30's. Sweating, confusion, dizziness, and the most epic episode last summer I literally felt like time stopped. Now I keep candy in my glove box.
I just posted your YT site in twitter with an acquaintance of mine from the HEX community, he is diabetic and sounds like he just wants it all to end. I hope he takes advantage of all the great resources you offer. Thank you for all that you, and your team do.
Exactly what happened to me. Exactly the wrong advice I got once I told the doctor that I fainted: "keep some sugar candies always in your pocket". How come they don't understand? Luckily I found your channel and since I started LC/IF life, I've lost 30 lbs and had no fainting episodes since. On the contrary, I am now able to cycle for hours while fasted.
Thank you so much for this video! I like your variety of topics because it covers a lot of thing we might be feeling at one point of our lives without knowing until we watch.
Thank you Dr. Berg for these precious informations! Having a Hypoglycemia is very dangerous and scary ! There are so many reasons behind it whether you are diabetic or not . I remember i had it one time in an airplane and never happened to me before., I wasn't diabetic. During the flight i was ok but suddenly for some reasons ( maybe because of altitudes changes and was super exhausted) i wasn't ok then i passed out for few seconds and then i waked up feeling like throwing up and couldn't talk or even move ! The problem is that i was traveling with my daughter who was 3 years old 😞😞 ( who would take care of her ??)) ! I pressed on the buttons to call the flight attendant who came and didn't understand what's going on with me . i was sweating a lot . and told her i want soda , she helped me drinking it cause i couldn't even lift my arms , super scary! After drinking the soda i felt better and the flight attendant was very nice and didn't leave me for the rest of trip.
Thanks Dr. Berg, I think what you have described is what my body has gone through. I have been doing IF and lowering my carbs for four months now and I am feeling a lot better.
I think I've experienced hypoglycemia once, I woke up in the morning very tired. Felt like my heart itself was so tired it can barely work and I was also very hungry. I think that was due to me trying to achieve ketosis in the wrong way, was simply underfed while not adapting yet to burning fat. This made me very careful the next time I tried to switch my "normal" carbs diet to keto/low-carb, at first I stuffed myself properly with fat while cutting out the carbs without letting me get too hungry. That worked.
Also having enough nutrients helps, like electrolytes, vitamin D3&k2, e complex, ect. I personally go crazy hungry if I don't have enough. Or I end up very tired. So I literally use a nutrients app like cronometer to ensure no deficiencies.
I had hypoglycemia for years. I read Harvey Ross’ book Fighting Depression and followed his instructions. It took a while for my body to adjust but I got well. I still follow his plan 20 years later. 😊
I've gone from an T2 that started way back in my 30s while physically fit and active to becoming insulin dependent to now just down to a reduced amount of orals in my 60s. Feel great that's due a lot to your videos on healthy keto. But fasting and managing meds is always an issue and hard to find an endocrinologist who doesn't hate keto and fasting. I would love to see a video on oral meds and how each works. Working to get off them but that may be a ways off due to too many years of poor sugar management. Biggest issue... reading at 140s at bed time and do let them stay there (it'll rise with dawn phenomenon to 180s) or take some meds and risk going low in the night. Thx... my wife and I think you're awesome!!
My husband is proof. His FSBS went from 250 mg/dL to 120-130. His BP went from 180/102 down to 127/78 ballpark. He dropped 20 lbs without exercise but he was not obese anyway. All I have him do is keto. He has cut Glucophage & Hydralazine dosage in half. I think he may be able to come off entirely with more time & if he would exercise a bit. We have been Keto since late March. I have dropped 25 lbs & I didn’t have health problems/meds. We are late 50’s mid 60’s. Thanks for your videos & electrolyte powder. We love it!
I agree these videos are the greatest. I’m going to be 60 in about a month. Ugh! 60! But anyway I feel great since starting keto since around mid May I believe it was. I wish you both the best.
How awesome is this!!! I was just going in to doctor Berg's past videos to find out about what causes hypoglycemia because I have had it in the past and now I realize that when I get it or have had it in the past its been because I have over carbonated to the Max with a pint of ice cream. By the way I am doing clean keto...I've only been doing it four days but I already feel better. Thank you Dr. Berg for everything you do for me.
Interesting. Throughout my life when I would experience hypoglycemia I would crave protein and salt. A burrito would address it better than anything (beans, sour cream, meat). I would crave roast beef lol odd. I never understood why others said sugar and all I wanted was hearty food. Sugar would work but it wasn't what I wanted. I'd eat and the symptoms would go away. NOW, over the last several years I will sometimes feel that way AFTER I eat. I have had to omit high sugar foods or it will rob me of an entire day trying to regulate my blood sugar. And almost everytime I eat carbs I will fight going to sleep afterward. Someone's I have to nap even before going to bed. 🤦
Weird , my hypoglycaemia does not make me hungry at all just opposite . How can you be hungry when tired , sweating and heart goes like is racing for marathon on crack .
Hello , I am following you from Egypt and i appreciate a lot what you do so thank you sincerely , and would appreciate it even more if you talked about joint stiffness specially osteoarthritis in the knee regarding it's causes and how to cure it please ..for a very personal case of mine.. I need your help..thanks again .
I am watching your videos few years and found it very helpfull. Unfortunately couldnt do keto as my psoriasis got in 3 days very bad inflammation. Had problem with hypoglycemia from panic and anxiety disorder. Over the time is much better. So still looking for answers to my problems and still watching yr videos with many helpfull informations 🙂
I have hypoglycemia, but mine is from taking antidepressants. 1 in 6000+have it. I unfortunately won. I kept going to doctors and no one could figure out why I was hypoglycemic, so I researched it to death and finally found out that it was my medication( I’m not diabetic). It’s not fun but I keep protein bars with me everywhere I go.
Thank you Dr. Berg, this video has come to me at the best time. My step father's suffering from type 2 diabetes and 2 days ago he suffered from hypoglycemia so from on he would keep eating sugars, messing up the keto-inspired diet and IF I have been applying to him and my family, because he's afraid such crisis might occur to him again. What should we give him if hypoglycemia crisis occur?
Practicing dr berg's mefical instructions in every day's life would be like solving Rubik's cube game;every time you think you're close to the solution, some other issue pops up 😎
After not seeing a Doctor for 20 years, I finally when for a check-up ( a new guy just starting his practice). I mentioned my only complaint was feeling run down way more then I thought I should . I said my diet is mostly green vegetables, fish once a week and cheese. He said I needed to increase protein intake. Anyway, I was surprised at his knowledge of nutrition and interest with suggestions. We talked about this for a good 10 minutes. My last doctor thought diet was one Big Mac or two with those fries. Times are changing.
@@letsfly662 The late brilliant essayist-novelist David Foster Wallace tells a story of two young fish swimming and going by an older fish headed the other way. The older fish nods at them and says, “Morning, boys, how’s the water?” The two young fish swim on awhile, and after a time one fish looks over at the other and asks, “What the hell is water?” What is taken for granted is not easy to see! Water is to fish as mind is to humans. Have you ever considered that a fish can no more see the water it is in than a human being can see its own mind? Since our entire perception and experience of living is filtered through the mind, how could anyone ever see things as they truly are without being present and witnessing their own mind?
I have type 1 diabetes and been on keto for couple months and I've only had 1 really low blood sugar of 38 where as before I would have them quite often but dr berg you have really helped me to take better care of my self I just hope it's not to late as I've been type 1 for over 40 years. I would like to know what you recommend doing when I have low blood sugar as I do not want the coke and sweets my husband has had to force down me when it gets so low I don't even remember anything bout it. God bless you dr berg.
Another couple causes: Bariatric surgery (1 out of 5) and excessive exercise. My favorite remains the treatment for hypoglycemia- just add gasoline and fuel the fire. That really isn't helping, in my opinion. Thank you for this lesson.
Oh wow Dr Berg I think this is why my BS is a little bit high without any symptoms of diabetes, but my doctor keep saying I am diabetic. Its my adrenal glands. For the past 6 years I have been under a lot of stress from many things. The biggest one of them is my husband going through cancer treatments. So I would really like to know what can I take to fix my adrenal glands, and also raise my estrogen. Because my doctor said I have low estrogen as well. Thankyou doctor Berg, we love you god bless❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Aman Bhardwaj yeah, it removes so much b1 and electrolytes, etc. Puts one into a super stressful mood so at the end, one goes get legal drugs to calm oneself down.
My sweetheart was having extremely bad dizzy spells. He went to the Dr and they diagnosed him with vertigo and gave him some pills. I was getting really worried and the pills weren't helping. Being a diabetic myself we tested his sugars with my meter and they were low. He said his mom seem to have the same thing but was never diagnosed correctly and that protein helped her. So he did that and the dizzy spells went away. Later on we discovered Keto and Dr Berg. He never had anymore dizzy episodes while on Keto.
I have this! But I eat protein and ignore what my doctor told me to carry! The sugar pills. They only help for a minute then it comes back. I now do a keto diet and am hardly ever bothered with this.
So what do you recommend food wise, you mentioned moderate protein, fats and vegetable, like are there certain fruits I should not eat because they are high in sugar or
My blood pressure is regular buuuuut, if I change my position suddenly, say from seated to on feet, I get dizzy, mi sight gets blurry but for 2 seconds... 🤷🏼 Ah, am not diabetic but I've had these symptoms since I was a little child
@@SharkFishSF that’s funny, but true. Sometimes I crave salt and then I drink my electrolytes and the craving goes away. Sometimes I add apple cider vinegar and Himalayan pink salt to my lemon water and that makes the cravings go away too. I sweat a lot (especially with these 90° weather we’ve been having) so I found I need to replace my salts.
@@donnaml8776 yes, keto actually reduced my sweating issue. I no longer sweat unless I'm doing physical work, electrolyte balance is taken care automatically I hope.
@@SharkFishSF oh! Lol, No, I sweat a lot because I cycle over 35 miles a day 3 days a week. And because we’ve had over 90° weather and I refuse to use air conditioning. I just don’t like it.
I have had hypoglycemia for almost 30 years. For the last ten years I have gone gluten free and now dairy free, and mostly eat meat and veggies. I still have hypoglycemia even though most days I have no refined sugar and very few carbs. I try to take care of my health and my symptoms can be controlled if I am careful, but the underlying problem is still there. I know most people eat a ton of sugar and carbs, but I don’t and it can be frustrating to be told to just quit eating processed foods and exercise to solve my problems, but I have been doing those things for a decade.
@@mssmiles0503 Amazing that medical field can't figure this out. Diabetics I know eat crap and just rely on their insulin pump and feel perfectly fine. We on the other hand do everything right and we feel like hell all day long.
I was told by a doctor, I had acute Hypoglycemia and the only thing I could do was eat a special diet and frequent snacks. I felt horrible. It was unbearable. This went on for about 6 years, then I was told I may have anxiety, which has the same symptoms. I took some meds that helped in the short term, then made things worse. In the long run, now I take time to relax my mind, free hypnosis sessions on CZcams, etc. and it has helped a ton. Also, taking magnesium calm and Pink Himalayan salt seems to really help sometimes. In moderation.
My symptoms when my sugar goes low are irritable, shaking, and my jaws clench. I eat a meal and then i am fine. It doesn't go low often and it has gone low sence i was a child. Mine also only goes low when i haven't eaten in 7 or 8 hours. I am not diabetic but diabetes runs in my family and. My dr. checks it yearly I am also way past the age of when family members have became diabetic.
I am having trouble consuming the amounts of vegetables you suggest. I get full. Last night I had a salad of maybe 2 cups of greens, with about 3 mini peppers with cream cheese, about 5 slices of cucumber, maybe a third of a cup (maybe less) of chicken thigh meat and a sprinkling of shredded cheese. I almost couldn't finish it.
Hi Dr. Berg, What is best to drink & what toothpaste is best to use with reactive hypoglycemia? After I drink water I feel shaky or lightheaded like my blood sugar is dropping. I notice same side effects with toothpaste. I have reactive hypoglycemia that I am trying to reverse. Thanks much.😊
I have hypoglycemia and I'm miserable. I seen a doctor for it he put me on metformin thousand milligrams a day he told me to take one pill in the morning and one in the evening and let tell you I was so sick I couldn't pick my head up off my dinning room table I was so weak he also told me to eat stuff with sugar in it I ended up gaining 85 pounds in 2 years and now I can't get the weight off no matter how hard I try.
this is timely for me...My heart Dr has just told me that I have low blood sugar ( the reason for my low energy)..he wants me to go to my primary doctor and get a gluclose test.....
For those of us suffering from night and daytime hypoglycemia, If we eat moderate amounts of proteins, low carbs and good healthy fats with no fruit or sugar does anyone know how long before we begin to feel better? My body isn’t making enough cortisol as my adrenals are fried. Appreciate any information. Leading up to this I was doing IF and not eating enough while training for a marathon. Not feeling too great these days.
Dr berg got a question?? I put up fencing 5 days a week Very physical job do I need carbs at the end of the day for tomorrow’s job?? Riders on tour defrance load up on carbs constantly? I’m not quite physically demanding as them being a fencer What’s your thoughts on diet suitable?? My work would be equivalent walking 6 hours non stop a day.
I suspect that I have the Adrenal/ high cortisol issue causing mine for the most part. The symptoms have lessened in frequency since I gave up bread/pasta and white sugar.
Authoritative texts inform us that if the blood glucose falls below a normal level, the liver will convert stored glycogen to glucose to raise the blood glucose back to normal, yet in some people this doesn't seem to happen. Perhaps the pancreatic alpha cells are not being stimulated to secrete glycogen? I am a type one diabetic, and I know that this pathway doesn't function for me: if my glucose drops below normal, I neeed to correct it.
If your blood sugar is below 3.5mmol in the UK hospitals they force you to have a glucose tablet or shot. If you refuse the doctors deem you as lacking capacity to make decisions over your health often leading to mental health act assessment and sometimes being detained under the mental health act.
Thanks you for your such support videos.. Please tell my fasting sugar is going up after 18 months of my delivery.. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.. My age is 29.. What to do.. I have lost suddenly 12 pounds in 8 months
Although we cannot advise on any diagnosis or treat any condition, we can suggest watching some of Dr. Berg's videos for more research: czcams.com/users/DrEricBergDCsearch?query=gestational%20diabetes Hope you'll find them helpful! Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Good job Doc, add this to the mix. What if lots of little tumors are attached to blood vessels just under the skin feeding at will ? Like say... MD (Morgellons Disease) fastest growing epidemic nobody knows about. Very similar to LD (Lyme disease). Hope ya at least look into it. Thanks for all you do... Peace
I am in lchf diet. No health issues. I am not diabetic. 80 yrs old. Lifts regularly. Today mornig, after 36 hrs fasting, my blood glucose level is 58mg/dL We shocked that there may be serius health problem. But now it is known it is not an issue.
I don't have diabetes and I'm in my early 20's i have a sedentary hobby and just got cold sweats like a puddle and weakness. I couldn't do more than 10 pushups and I normally do 50 before breaks. Odd... 4hrs prior i had pancakes 🥞 with alot of syrup and a large omelette.
hey Dr berg i need help, i have candida and i’m taking 5HTP - is it okay?? i can’t sleep at night and that’s helping me, also i want to know if there are any symptoms
I think you’re a blessing to try to help us with the blue blood sugar. It’s a blessing for everybody. I’m sure everybody appreciates your help Doctor Berg thank you thank you🥰❤️
thanks.. I am taking vitamin E with a vitamin B complex group because I suffer from essential tremors. How long is the treatment period for using vitamins and does excess vitamin E cause toxicity?
what about blood sugar crashes only at night without symptoms while doing keto and if 18/6? blood sugar is stable around 80 the whole day. haven't found anything about this
Dr. berg I would really like to talk to you for myself and my mother who has chronic kidney failure , she needs help with her diet but " apparently" can only eat crap which makes everything worse cant have potassium or magnesium so feels every side effect of that. Cant sleep , shes up all night , holding so much fluid till the next treatment I could really like to see her have a better quality of life while she waits for a new kidney
Have you tried Dr Berg's electrolytes formula in some treats you make yourself? Like chocolate truffles or mousse made with his electrolytes? You don't have to say it's healthy. Just have them around ready to be eaten... 😁😁
I eat almost exclusively high quality protein, with salad greens, fried eggs/boiled eggs, and cooked vegetables such as broccoli, and a handful of blueberries or some other fruit as a desert. I drink black coffee and spring water, occasionally sparkling. Not loosing weight as rapidly as I’d hoped, but once I started adding carbs into my diet again (sweet potatoes, rice, sourdough, crackers, pasta) I noticed my brain fog improves and my weight started to shed more quickly. I’m a 25 year old woman, and just found out that I may have been hypoglycemic this whole time? I wasn’t giving my body enough sugars/carbs. Why is health this confusing?
I was worried with my guts problem IBS then I was scared what if my liver is not healthy then I have a new problem maybe on the top of the list : hypoglycemia which forces you to eat carbohydrates and sugar the things that one should avoid to reach a healthy weight and have healthy organs. So it's time to learn about blood sugar from Dr. Eric Berg
Someone I know is in REALLY serious trouble with severe hypoglycemia. What caused it seems to be a brain damage that hit him two days ago all of a sudden. Aged man who had to take drugs precisely to drop glucose. It's almost like he had some overdose this time.
because people and doctors are afraid when you say just the word keto. I told my 3 year old pediatrician that I put my 3 year old on a keto and she fricked out and said i am going to kill my child, the next time i said he is just eating lots of veggies including meat and she said oh that's great. see how one little word can change everything.
I started fasting last night. Ate half of what i usually eat at dinner then by it was hard to sleep, by 2am i feel hungry. My legs is a bit trembling. So i researched thi hypoglycemia, and thought maybe im diabetic. Couldnt sleep had to eat a banana and 2 spoon of milk to hopefully syop the lil shakes. It did then fall asleep by 3am. Woke up at 8.30 had sugar meter test says 95. I dont know if i should continue to fast and low carb diet, keto is expensive for me. I eat only what my boss give free food, this is frustrating
Your videos are changing my thinking, they're changing my health, they're changing my life. Thank you

Risk is greater in diabetics who have eaten less than usual, exercised more than usual, or drunk alcohol.👍
Could have saved years of looking for answers if I had seen this back then. Thankfully back on track now.

“The Good Doctor...”
I have type 1 diabetes and been on keto for couple months and I've only had 1 really low blood sugar of 38 where as before I would have them quite often but dr berg you have really helped me to take better care of my self I just hope it's not to late as I've been type 1 for over 40 years. I would like to know what you recommend doing when I have low blood sugar as I do not want the coke and sweets my husband has had to force down me when it gets so low I don't even remember anything bout it. God bless you dr berg.
Have you checked Dr Berg's videos on type 1, on low blood sugar/hypoglycemia, ect.?
Another couple causes: Bariatric surgery (1 out of 5) and excessive exercise. My favorite remains the treatment for hypoglycemia- just add gasoline and fuel the fire. That really isn't helping, in my opinion. Thank you for this lesson.
Most educative.
Thanks for watching.
Oh wow Dr Berg I think this is why my BS is a little bit high without any symptoms of diabetes, but my doctor keep saying I am diabetic. Its my adrenal glands. For the past 6 years I have been under a lot of stress from many things. The biggest one of them is my husband going through cancer treatments. So I would really like to know what can I take to fix my adrenal glands, and also raise my estrogen. Because my doctor said I have low estrogen as well. Thankyou doctor Berg, we love you god bless❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
I had this in high school. Eating pancakes & waffles were a nightmare.
what about spattegghetti and carbs?
@Aman Bhardwaj yeah, it removes so much b1 and electrolytes, etc. Puts one into a super stressful mood so at the end, one goes get legal drugs to calm oneself down.
@@jamesnguyen7069 Same.
@@ADAPTATION7 me too!
My sweetheart was having extremely bad dizzy spells. He went to the Dr and they diagnosed him with vertigo and gave him some pills. I was getting really worried and the pills weren't helping. Being a diabetic myself we tested his sugars with my meter and they were low. He said his mom seem to have the same thing but was never diagnosed correctly and that protein helped her. So he did that and the dizzy spells went away. Later on we discovered Keto and Dr Berg. He never had anymore dizzy episodes while on Keto.
thank you!
I have this! But I eat protein and ignore what my doctor told me to carry! The sugar pills. They only help for a minute then it comes back. I now do a keto diet and am hardly ever bothered with this.
So what do you recommend food wise, you mentioned moderate protein, fats and vegetable, like are there certain fruits I should not eat because they are high in sugar or
My blood pressure is regular buuuuut, if I change my position suddenly, say from seated to on feet, I get dizzy, mi sight gets blurry but for 2 seconds... 🤷🏼
Ah, am not diabetic but I've had these symptoms since I was a little child
It's electrolyte deficiency. Those in low sodium/potassium crave chips because it has salt.
@@SharkFishSF that’s funny, but true. Sometimes I crave salt and then I drink my electrolytes and the craving goes away. Sometimes I add apple cider vinegar and Himalayan pink salt to my lemon water and that makes the cravings go away too. I sweat a lot (especially with these 90° weather we’ve been having) so I found I need to replace my salts.
It might be iron deficiency (anemia) as well.
@@donnaml8776 yes, keto actually reduced my sweating issue. I no longer sweat unless I'm doing physical work, electrolyte balance is taken care automatically I hope.
@@SharkFishSF oh! Lol, No, I sweat a lot because I cycle over 35 miles a day 3 days a week. And because we’ve had over 90° weather and I refuse to use air conditioning. I just don’t like it.
I have had hypoglycemia for almost 30 years. For the last ten years I have gone gluten free and now dairy free, and mostly eat meat and veggies. I still have hypoglycemia even though most days I have no refined sugar and very few carbs. I try to take care of my health and my symptoms can be controlled if I am careful, but the underlying problem is still there. I know most people eat a ton of sugar and carbs, but I don’t and it can be frustrating to be told to just quit eating processed foods and exercise to solve my problems, but I have been doing those things for a decade.
@@mssmiles0503 Amazing that medical field can't figure this out. Diabetics I know eat crap and just rely on their insulin pump and feel perfectly fine. We on the other hand do everything right and we feel like hell all day long.
I was told by a doctor, I had acute Hypoglycemia and the only thing I could do was eat a special diet and frequent snacks. I felt horrible. It was unbearable. This went on for about 6 years, then I was told I may have anxiety, which has the same symptoms. I took some meds that helped in the short term, then made things worse. In the long run, now I take time to relax my mind, free hypnosis sessions on CZcams, etc. and it has helped a ton. Also, taking magnesium calm and Pink Himalayan salt seems to really help sometimes. In moderation.
I think i have both . Good sleep seems and relaxing music while eating hearty food fixes the problem .
I had this when I followed the disastrous food pyramid. Thank you, Dr Berg, for useful information rather than allopathic nonsense.
I am from Kingston Jamaica and would like to know ur views on black rice or could u do a video on it .
My symptoms when my sugar goes low are irritable, shaking, and my jaws clench. I eat a meal and then i am fine. It doesn't go low often and it has gone low sence i was a child. Mine also only goes low when i haven't eaten in 7 or 8 hours. I am not diabetic but diabetes runs in my family and. My dr. checks it yearly I am also way past the age of when family members have became diabetic.
I am having trouble consuming the amounts of vegetables you suggest. I get full. Last night I had a salad of maybe 2 cups of greens, with about 3 mini peppers with cream cheese, about 5 slices of cucumber, maybe a third of a cup (maybe less) of chicken thigh meat and a sprinkling of shredded cheese. I almost couldn't finish it.

Is there a video on hypoglycemia regarding the adrenals ? I see it mentioned briefly but not a whole video.
Hi Dr. Berg,
What is best to drink & what toothpaste is best to use with reactive hypoglycemia? After I drink water I feel shaky or lightheaded like my blood sugar is dropping. I notice same side effects with toothpaste. I have reactive hypoglycemia that I am trying to reverse. Thanks much.😊
Dr Berg .Please make more video on water filter .Which filter we should use like Reverse osmosis . Or any filter will work .

Make new videos for psoriasis patient
this is timely for me...My heart Dr has just told me that I have low blood sugar ( the reason for my low energy)..he wants me to go to my primary doctor and get a gluclose test.....
For those of us suffering from night and daytime hypoglycemia,
If we eat moderate amounts of proteins, low carbs and good healthy fats with no fruit or sugar does anyone know how long before we begin to feel better? My body isn’t making enough cortisol as my adrenals are fried. Appreciate any information. Leading up to this I was doing IF and not eating enough while training for a marathon. Not feeling too great these days.
Dr berg got a question??
I put up fencing 5 days a week
Very physical job do I need carbs at the end of the day for tomorrow’s job??
Riders on tour defrance load up on carbs constantly?
I’m not quite physically demanding as them being a fencer
What’s your thoughts on diet suitable??
My work would be equivalent walking 6 hours non stop a day.
I suspect that I have the Adrenal/ high cortisol issue causing mine for the most part. The symptoms have lessened in frequency since I gave up bread/pasta and white sugar.
Great. Have you checked Dr Berg's videos on the adrenals? Also on salt, true vitamin c, b1 as benfothiamine and on electrolytes.
@@rawwoodgifts8117 yes i have nutritional yeast. Gotta start taking it again
@@littlelulu4107 Great. A big difference is with 10 tablespoons a day or have tablets if it's easier.
@@rawwoodgifts8117 ok ty very much.
@@rawwoodgifts8117 also I use seasalt. No iodized crap
I would like to make a video about *mouth enzymes*
Happy doctor's day to my doctor 😀
Authoritative texts inform us that if the blood glucose falls below a normal level, the liver will convert stored glycogen to glucose to raise the blood glucose back to normal, yet in some people this doesn't seem to happen. Perhaps the pancreatic alpha cells are not being stimulated to secrete glycogen? I am a type one diabetic, and I know that this pathway doesn't function for me: if my glucose drops below normal, I neeed to correct it.
I'd like to ask u a question.
Are juice Cherries- dates mixed together with mineral water super healthy??
Dr berg can u do a video on overplucked eyebrows and is there any way to grow them back tried everything
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

If your blood sugar is below 3.5mmol in the UK hospitals they force you to have a glucose tablet or shot. If you refuse the doctors deem you as lacking capacity to make decisions over your health often leading to mental health act assessment and sometimes being detained under the mental health act.
OMG, OUTRAGEOUS 😮

Good job Doc, add this to the mix. What if lots of little tumors are attached to blood vessels just under the skin feeding at will ? Like say... MD (Morgellons Disease) fastest growing epidemic nobody knows about. Very similar to LD (Lyme disease). Hope ya at least look into it. Thanks for all you do... Peace
I am in lchf diet. No health issues. I am not diabetic. 80 yrs old. Lifts regularly.
Today mornig, after 36 hrs fasting,
my blood glucose level is 58mg/dL
We shocked that there may be serius health problem. But now it is known it is not an issue.
I don't have diabetes and I'm in my early 20's i have a sedentary hobby and just got cold sweats like a puddle and weakness. I couldn't do more than 10 pushups and I normally do 50 before breaks. Odd... 4hrs prior i had pancakes 🥞 with alot of syrup and a large omelette.
hey Dr berg i need help, i have candida and i’m taking 5HTP - is it okay?? i can’t sleep at night and that’s helping me, also i want to know if there are any symptoms
I think you’re a blessing to try to help us with the blue blood sugar. It’s a blessing for everybody. I’m sure everybody appreciates your help Doctor Berg thank you thank you🥰❤️
How do we get this checked at the dr
thanks.. I am taking vitamin E with a vitamin B complex group because I suffer from essential tremors. How long is the treatment period for using vitamins and does excess vitamin E cause toxicity?
Anytime.
Hello dr berg please how do treat an enlarged liver that’s is 69large( don’t know what the 69means) will be glad if you reply
Thanks
what about blood sugar crashes only at night without symptoms while doing keto and if 18/6? blood sugar is stable around 80 the whole day. haven't found anything about this
So is a low carb , low fat low protein diet good for someone who has auto immune, epilepsy? Maybe eith a little higher plant fats
I think too much stress for too long causes hypoglycemia.
!!!!
Eosophagectomy can also bring on these symptoms.
Dr. berg I would really like to talk to you for myself and my mother who has chronic kidney failure , she needs help with her diet but " apparently" can only eat crap which makes everything worse cant have potassium or magnesium so feels every side effect of that. Cant sleep , shes up all night , holding so much fluid till the next treatment I could really like to see her have a better quality of life while she waits for a new kidney
Have you tried Dr Berg's electrolytes formula in some treats you make yourself? Like chocolate truffles or mousse made with his electrolytes? You don't have to say it's healthy. Just have them around ready to be eaten... 😁😁
Can taking berberine without diabetis cause hypoglycemia? Waiting for your reply.
I eat almost exclusively high quality protein, with salad greens, fried eggs/boiled eggs, and cooked vegetables such as broccoli, and a handful of blueberries or some other fruit as a desert. I drink black coffee and spring water, occasionally sparkling.
Not loosing weight as rapidly as I’d hoped, but once I started adding carbs into my diet again (sweet potatoes, rice, sourdough, crackers, pasta) I noticed my brain fog improves and my weight started to shed more quickly.
I’m a 25 year old woman, and just found out that I may have been hypoglycemic this whole time? I wasn’t giving my body enough sugars/carbs. Why is health this confusing?
Is sugar alcohol actually “keto”
I was worried with my guts problem IBS then I was scared what if my liver is not healthy then I have a new problem maybe on the top of the list : hypoglycemia which forces you to eat carbohydrates and sugar the things that one should avoid to reach a healthy weight and have healthy organs. So it's time to learn about blood sugar from Dr. Eric Berg
Someone I know is in REALLY serious trouble with severe hypoglycemia. What caused it seems to be a brain damage that hit him two days ago all of a sudden.
Aged man who had to take drugs precisely to drop glucose. It's almost like he had some overdose this time.
This maybe the first video where you haven't mentioned the word keto 😂
because people and doctors are afraid when you say just the word keto. I told my 3 year old pediatrician that I put my 3 year old on a keto and she fricked out and said i am going to kill my child, the next time i said he is just eating lots of veggies including meat and she said oh that's great. see how one little word can change everything.
I started fasting last night. Ate half of what i usually eat at dinner then by it was hard to sleep, by 2am i feel hungry. My legs is a bit trembling. So i researched thi hypoglycemia, and thought maybe im diabetic. Couldnt sleep had to eat a banana and 2 spoon of milk to hopefully syop the lil shakes. It did then fall asleep by 3am. Woke up at 8.30 had sugar meter test says 95. I dont know if i should continue to fast and low carb diet, keto is expensive for me. I eat only what my boss give free food, this is frustrating
