Sardines are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on planet Earth! At less than $2.00 per can, you can’t beat this cheap superfood.
A clinical trial out of Barcelona showed a significantly decreased risk of diabetes in people who added 2 cans of sardines to their diet per week. With such promising results, what would happen if you ate 3 cans of sardines per day for 5 days?
Sardines contain high-quality protein, EPA, DHA, calcium, vitamins D and B12, selenium, phosphorus, and taurine.
Three cans of sardines per day provide 2700 mg of omega-3 fatty acids! Omega-3 fatty acids contain resolvins that turn off inflammation, especially in high doses.
After a sardine fast, you’ll notice weight loss, improved mood, decreased hunger and cravings, improved thyroid function, flexible joints, better sleep, and more.

The #1 Thing Destroying Your Liver Isn't Alcohol

Your liver has over 500 functions. It detoxifies toxic compounds, renders them harmless, and exports fat to prevent a fatty liver. Glutathione is an important compound that helps neutralize toxins in the liver.
Fructose consumption is the leading cause of chronic liver disease. High-fructose corn syrup is in everything from soda, cereal, and granola bars to ketchup and yogurt.
Unlike glucose, fructose can only be metabolized by the liver. Once fructose enters the liver, it activates fat accumulation and blocks fat-burning. Children as young as 2 are developing fatty livers! Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of liver transplants.
Tylenol is the number one cause of acute liver failure in the United States. It depletes glutathione, inhibiting your liver’s ability to neutralize toxins. Early signs of liver damage include nausea, fatigue, vomiting, and flu-like symptoms.
The liver is one of the only organs that can completely regenerate. Eliminating high-fructose corn syrup from the diet and taking choline and NAC can help reverse liver damage and support liver health.

Cancer Is a Parasite

A drug designed to kill parasites has shown promising results in remission of stage 4 cancer, but no major cancer center will run a clinical trial on it.
At the molecular level, cancer is a parasite. It consumes your resources as it spreads throughout the body. In 2025, over 2 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer, and a 79% increase in cancer among young people has been reported.
Cancer cells operate in a primitive survival mode, utilizing glycolysis for energy. Cancer thrives in an environment where our cells are struggling, and our mitochondria are damaged. Cancer cells are highly adaptive and can survive on glutamine, BCAAs, and even ketones at advanced stages.
Researchers have identified 3 different survival systems typically used by parasites, fungi, worms, and cancer:
1. Internal scaffolding
2. Prevention of the self-destruction of damaged cells
3. Utilization of glycolysis
Anti-parasitic drugs and remedies such as fenbendazole, ivermectin, wormwood, black walnut hulls, and cloves can dismantle the survival mechanisms of parasites, worms, and cancer cells.
In addition to natural cancer remedies, you need to stop eating foods that feed cancer. Eliminate sugar, starches, and junk food from your diet. Rotating your diet and fasting schedule can also help.
A strong immune system is the most powerful weapon against cancer. Your killer T cells and natural killer cells can kill cancer directly. To support t…

Collagen in your coffee is a quick, simple, inexpensive way to get all of the benefits of collagen for gut health, skin health, joint health, and more.
Around 30% of the protein in your body is made of collagen. Most people do not consume enough collagen, since we no longer eat animals nose-to-tail like our ancestors. As we age, we lose collagen.
One-third of collagen is an amino acid called glycine. Glycine is vital for your sleep, gut health, detoxification, hair health, and blood sugar. It’s beneficial for preventing gout and kidney stones, and even supports gum health.
Around 10% of the collagen you consume is in the form of collagen peptides. These peptides communicate with your fibroblasts, which help repair your tissues and rebuild collagen in the body.
Junk food, sugar, seed oils, stress, and aging can all contribute to collagen loss. To increase your collagen intake, try consuming collagen in your coffee, or from bone broth, chicken skin, fish skin, and pork rinds. If you consume collagen powder, make sure it contains vitamin C.

So Called "Normal Labs" are NOT Healthy
25 maart 2026 · 17 min
Normal blood levels don’t always mean you’re healthy. Discover why standard lab tests can miss disease, the difference between optimal vs. normal lab ranges, and how to interpret normal lab results when you still have symptoms. Lees meer
Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07
Normal blood levels are often determined by averages in the population, not necessarily by what’s healthy or optimal. Some people suffer from hidden health problems in silence because blood tests often miss disease.
You can have high insulin levels for many years before noticing an increase in blood glucose levels. An A1C test assesses blood sugar, but a fasting insulin test is a better indicator of health. A low-carb diet and intermittent fasting can correct insulin resistance and high blood sugar.
If you have potassium or magnesium deficiency symptoms, yet your blood levels are normal, it’s because the problem is deep in your tissues. Blood tests are not the best way to test for many hidden nutrient deficiencies.
🌟 Standard testing can often leave you with symptoms but normal lab results. Check out this list of tests commonly offered, along with which test you should ask for instead.
• Magnesium
Standard test: Serum magnesiumBetter test to ask for: RBC magnesiumWhy: 99% of magnesium is inside the cell; serum levels only show what is circulating in the blood, not what is actually inside the cells.
• Vitamin B12
Standard test: Total B12Better test to ask for: Methylmalonic acid (MMA)Why: High MMA indicates that B12 is not functioning properly, even if blood B12 levels appear normal.
• Vitamin B1
Standard test: Serum thiamineBetter test to ask for: Erythrocyte transketolaseWhy: This test measures whether enzymes that depend on vitamin B1 are actually working, showing functional B1 status.
• Vitamin D
Standard test: 25-OH vitamin DBetter test to ask for: Parathyroid hormone (PTH)Why: If vitamin D levels look normal but PTH is elevated, the body may still be fu…

The #1 Most DAMAGING Carb on Earth (Is NOT Sugar)

Some of the most unhealthy foods don’t contain any sugar! Maltodextrin is in 60% of our foods, and most people don’t even know it’s there. Although maltodextrin spikes your blood sugar significantly more than sugar and glucose, it’s not classified as a sugar; it’s classified as a complex carbohydrate.
Maltodextrin is found in infant formula, protein powder, and weight gain shakes. Maltodextrin and other industrial starches, such as cornstarch and modified food starch, are used as fillers to add bulk to a product.
Not only does maltodextrin contribute to blood sugar issues, weight gain, and a fatty liver, but it also does the following:
• Destroys the gut lining
• Supports the colonization of Salmonella and other pathogens
• Depletes vitamin B1
Avoid this carbohydrate!

The 3 Vitamins That WORSEN Nerve Pain (A Nerve Poison?)
19 maart 2026 · 9 min
Are your vitamins causing nerve pain? Discover the vitamins that worsen nerve pain and peripheral neuropathy, why certain nerve pain vitamins make matters worse, and what you can do to fix it. Lees meer

Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07
If it seems that your vitamins are making nerve pain worse, the solution might be simple. Vitamin B6 is vital in neurotransmission, but must be converted to its active form through the liver. Unconverted vitamin B6 can accumulate in the body and affect the nervous system if your liver is sluggish, if you don't have enough bile, or if you’re low in glutathione. Inflammation, high blood sugar, and low magnesium can also inhibit your ability to make this conversion.
Most vitamin B12 supplements contain cyanocobalamin, which is useless unless converted into the active form, methylcobalamin.
Vitamin B1 is vital in supporting the mitochondria and the myelin sheath. Low vitamin B1 is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy.
Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 are water-soluble vitamins, so they can’t easily penetrate the brain and myelin sheath. Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 that can penetrate the myelin sheath to help reverse peripheral neuropathy.
Alpha-lipoic acid is a powerful antioxidant that can help with peripheral neuropathy, support mitochondrial function, and improve insulin sensitivity.
Key takeaways:
1. Use the right forms of vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12
2. Don’t go over 50 mg per day
3. Ensure you have enough bile
4. Consume fermented foods
5. Make sure your insulin is balanced
6. Don’t forget about alpha-lipoic acid

The Hidden Danger in Bread (It’s NOT Gluten)
18 maart 2026 · 10 min
The real danger in bread isn’t the gluten. In this video, we’ll explain why bread can be unhealthy, how it affects insulin and blood sugar, and what you can eat instead if you decide to stop eating bread. Lees meer

Download Dr. Berg’s Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07
Bread is mostly starch, which is a chain of glucose molecules. Even if the label says zero grams of sugar, that starch is quickly broken down into sugar in your bloodstream.
Wheat is in many of the foods people eat regularly: pizza, cereal, granola bars, and more. The average American consumes wheat almost every day.
One of the biggest problems with bread is the blood sugar spike. In some cases, bread can spike your blood sugar even more than table sugar, despite being labeled as having zero sugar.
Gluten-free bread isn’t always a healthier option. Many gluten-free breads are made with potato starch, rice flour, tapioca starch, or cornstarch instead of wheat flour. These ingredients can spike blood sugar just as much as, if not more than, regular sugar. The starch in bread doesn’t just affect blood sugar. It may also contribute to higher LDL cholesterol, fatty liver, and glycation.
When bread spikes your blood sugar, insulin is released to bring it down. But where does the excess sugar go? Much of it gets converted into stored fat in the liver and around the belly. Over time, repeated blood sugar spikes and high insulin levels can lead to insulin resistance.
While a small percentage of people have a true gluten allergy or sensitivity, for many others, the real issue with bread is the starch. Modern wheat has also been heavily hybridized and engineered to contain higher levels of gluten.

Once candida has built a biofilm in your gut, it takes 1000 times the dosage of a typical antifungal treatment to eliminate the problem!
A candida infection can progress through 3 phases:
Phase 1: Yeast
Phase 2: Chain
Phase 3: Filament
Conventional candida treatment is not very effective against phase 3 candida infections. In 2025, candida overgrowth affected 7000 people. It’s primarily a hospital superbug, with a mortality rate of 30-60%.
Candida overgrowth is often triggered by:
1. Antibiotics
2. Sugar
3. Stress
4. Antacids
5. Birth control pills
This candida cleanse protocol can help you eliminate candida overgrowth in 24 hours!
1. Starve candida overgrowth with a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting.
2. Destroy biofilms with Saccharomyces boulardii and NAC. Oregano oil can be used to kill candida directly.
3. Take a good probiotic and consume fermented foods with each meal. Consume a tablespoon of coconut oil to stop the growth of candida. Consume apple cider vinegar in water, 2 to 3 times per day.

8:47 Magnesium and vitamin D
Most of the magnesium in your body is inside your bones and cells. Only 0.3% of your magnesium is in your blood serum. One of the biggest mistakes people make when assessing magnesium deficiency is relying on blood magnesium levels.
Over 300 medications can deplete your magnesium levels. Other factors that can cause magnesium deficiency include the following:
• Stress
• Sugar
• Caffeine
• Alcohol
• High insulin
• Low stomach acid
• Low salt
• Low vitamin D
Here are 9 of the most common magnesium deficiency symptoms:
1. Anxiety/panic attacks
2. Waking up at 2 AM
3. Eye twitching (tetany)
4. Heart pounding after eating
5. Exhausted from thinking
6. Random chest tightness
7. Sugar or carb cravings
8. Wired but tired
9. Feeling heavy
Restless legs syndrome can also result from a magnesium deficiency.
Magnesium oxide is one of the most common forms of magnesium available, but also the worst! It has a 3% absorption rate and can cause diarrhea at higher doses.
Magnesium glycinate combines magnesium with glycine, a protein that supports GABA in the brain, and has an absorption rate of 80%. The best time to take magnesium is late in the day. When taking more than 400 mg of magnesium, spread your doses throughout the day.
To avoid magnesium deficiency, follow a low-carb diet, increase yo…

6:39 How to fix high blood sugar
If you’ve given up sugar but your blood sugar is still high, this is for you.
The liver is responsible for producing sugar for the small percentage of the body that requires it. If you have high blood sugar despite removing sugar from your diet, it is either caused by a liver problem or a stress problem. Stress increases cortisol, a hormone that stimulates the release of sugar.
If you wake up in the morning with high blood sugar and did not consume any sugar the day before, this is known as the dawn phenomenon. This phenomenon is caused by a long-standing liver problem associated with insulin resistance.
To fix high blood sugar, do the following:
1. Low-carb diet
2. Stop snacking
3. Reduce stress

Why Your Urine Stream Is Weak (And How to Fix It)

7:28 Slow urine flow after menopause
Men are told that a weak urine flow is a prostate problem, and women are told that it’s caused by aging or childbirth, but what’s the truth?
If you wake up with a weak urine flow that improves after you drink coffee, this is not a prostate problem. This is related to a problem with your autonomic nervous system and bladder.
A weak urine stream can also be caused by a weak detrusor muscle. This can happen if you’re fatigued, sit frequently, or have insulin resistance. If you’re constantly stressed, your bladder problems might be related to issues with your parasympathetic nervous system.
If your weak urine flow only occurs at night or in the early morning, this is related to your body’s circadian rhythm.
Bethanechol is often used to treat urine flow problems. This medication primarily affects the autonomic nervous system. Vitamin B1 can naturally affect the nervous system to help with a weak urine flow.
Vitamin B1 has many benefits, but you should also focus on correcting the reason you’re deficient in the first place. Following a low-carb diet, reducing your alcohol intake, and intermittent fasting can help correct insulin resistance and improve urine flow problems. Vitamin B1 can also help reduce stress levels.
A weak urine stream after menopause could be related to estrogen. Estrogen greatly influences nitric oxide, which can affect vasodilation and blood flow. Sun exposure and exercise can help. Addressing your indoor lighting and sunlight exposur…

9:18 How to avoid glyphosate exposure and pesticide residues in food
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that glyphosate causes cancer, but the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says it’s safe. What’s the truth?
Roundup has been used in farming to kill weeds since 1974. Genetically modified crops were introduced in 1994 and were able to withstand being sprayed with glyphosate. This drastically increased glyphosate exposure and chemicals in American food. Glyphosate is also sprayed on wheat products as a drying agent right before harvesting.
The WHO and the EPA have looked at the same data on glyphosate, but have come to startlingly different conclusions. In 2022, a federal court examined the EPA’s safety determination on glyphosate and determined it was not supported by substantial evidence. The EPA did not consider the animal studies that showed the connection between glyphosate and cancer, and the court deemed that this was a disregard of tumor results.
Cancer is not the only health risk associated with glyphosate exposure. For years, it was argued that because glyphosate kills plants through the shikimate pathway, it is safe for humans since we do not have this pathway. However, our gut bacteria do have this pathway!
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma rose by 90% between 1950 and 1999. Today, 80,000 Americans are diagnosed every year. Bayer, the comp…

11:35 What to do instead of Ozempic
When you lose 50 pounds on Ozempic, you haven’t only lost fat; you’ve also lost muscle. Research has shown that most people gain two-thirds of their weight back within a year of quitting Ozempic. This new weight gain is nearly all fat!
Ozempic hijacks a system that already occurs naturally in your body. There are specialized cells in the digestive system called L-cells that increase GLP-1 when stimulated. GLP-1 tells the brain it’s no longer hungry, releases insulin, and slows digestion. For many people, the natural GLP-1 system is broken.
To activate this system without the use of Ozempic, you’ll need to naturally trigger the L-cells and activate GLP-1. This won’t work as powerfully as Ozempic, but it can create a significant effect. To do this, consume the following:
• Short-chain fatty acids
• Apple cider vinegar
• Fermented foods
• Fiber with each meal
• Omega-3 fats
• Olive oil
• Avocado oil
• Amino acids
• Bile salts (TUDCA)
There are specific types of fiber that help support this process, including inulin found in garlic and onions, leeks, asparagus, artichokes, flax seeds, chia seeds, and avocados. Try replacing salad with sauerkraut to activate GLP-1.
Modern medicine does not address root causes, but rather addresses symptoms that occur later in the chain of events. This holds true for Ozempic. Instead of taking Ozempic, try the following:

Hidden Ingredient in 60% of Junk Foods (Acts Like a Detergent)
6 maart 2026 · 8 min
This hidden ingredient in junk food is quietly destroying your health. Uncover the harmful food additives and food industry secrets that leave you sick, yet still hungry for more.

This dangerous ingredient in junk food acts as a detergent in your gut. This toxic food additive destroys the protective layer that lines your digestive tract, similar to the way dish soap removes grease from a pan. Once this protective layer is gone, you can develop a leaky gut, allowing toxic food additives, bacteria, and partially digested food into your bloodstream.
Harmful food additives are often hiding in ice cream, chocolate, salad dressing, plant-based milk, bread, peanut butter, coffee creamer, mayo, baby formula, and the list goes on! This toxic ingredient is found in 60% of all packaged foods, and goes by names like polysorbate 80, carboxymethylcellulose, and carrageenan. These hidden ingredients in junk food are called emulsifiers.
Emulsifiers force oil and water to mix so that the processed food appears smoother or creamy in texture and has a longer shelf life.
There is a thick layer of mucus that coats the inside of the intestines, which acts as a built-in protective mechanism for your gut. Emulsifiers dissolve this protective layer over time, allowing bacteria to enter your bloodstream. Your immune system tags them as pathogens, causing an immune reaction and chronic gut inflammation.
Gut health directly affects your cognitive function. If you have gut inflammation, you might experience brain fog, sluggishness, and the inability to think clearly after eating.
In animal studies, polysorbate 80 caused metabolic syndrome, weight gain, blood sugar problems, and altered gut bacteria. Although no long-term human studies have been published, a human trial published in 2024 found that partici…

The #1 Nutrient That STOPS Heart Palpitations Fast

Heart palpitations don’t usually mean heart damage. In this video, I’ll uncover the true underlying causes of heart palpitations and share simple heart health tips to address your heart rhythm problems. Lees meer

Heart palpitations and heart rhythm problems are an electrolyte issue. Electrolytes are minerals that allow electricity to travel through the nervous system. Unfortunately, doctors rarely look at electrolytes as part of the problem.
A magnesium deficiency is one of the most likely causes of heart palpitations. The majority of people with heart palpitations have normal EKG tests and echocardiogram results. If you have chest pains, fainting, or known heart disease, get these symptoms checked.
A skipped or extra heartbeat is known as a heart palpitation. This may cause a strange sensation in your chest, cause you to take a breath, or even cause dizziness. This is caused by an unstable electrical rhythm. This does not mean your heart is failing or that you have any structural failure at all.
Calcium causes contraction of the heart muscle. Too much calcium can also cause twitches, cramps, insomnia, and anxiety. Magnesium is the master controller of calcium, and the most important electrolyte for nerve stability. A magnesium deficiency rarely shows up in a blood test.
When the demand for magnesium increases, you might experience palpitations. The most common trigger for heart palpitations is stress. Magnesium acts as a buffer to adrenaline and cortisol, so the demand increases when you’re stressed.
In addition to stress, there are many things that can increase the demand for magnesium, including the following:
• Poor sleep
• Unstable blood sugar
• Hormonal shifts
• Exercise
Magnesium excretion can also cause magnesium deficiency, leading to heart palpitations. Caffeine, a low-carb diet, heavy sweating, and alcohol can cause magnesium excretion.
Simply not getting enough magnesium from you…

Stop the Addiction Impulse in 60 Seconds (Here’s How)

10:18 What causes addiction?
11:24 More addiction recovery tips
Whether you’re addicted to smoking, alcohol, porn, sugar, social media, or gambling, attempting to quit often makes matters worse, but why?
When you drink alcohol, for example, you feel happier and less stressed. Dopamine then tags alcohol as something that increases survival, and the more you consume, the stronger the drive.
Dopamine and glutamate are the hormones involved with addiction. When glutamate levels are too high, you may experience abnormal body sensations, agitation, pressure, compulsion, and obsession. When you ignore this, your fight or flight mechanism kicks in, and your symptoms worsen.
When you experience withdrawal symptoms as you’re trying to break an addiction, try the following steps:
1. Rate the intensity of the urge on a scale of 0-10
2. Locate or point to the affected part of your body
3. Describe it to yourself
4. Repeat
When you repeat the process, you'll notice that the intensity of the sensations decreases. This process helps you differentiate yourself from your addiction. The more you define your addiction and separate yourself from it, the less it will affect you.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) significantly reduces glutamate spikes. Try taking 600-2400 mg of NAC per day, depending on the severity of the problem.

Age Spots Are NOT Normal Aging
2 maart 2026 · 9 min
You’ve been lied to about age spots. Skin discoloration known as age spots isn’t just “sun spots" and is not simply the result of getting older. In this video, I’ll show you how to get rid of age spots naturally by addressing the root cause. Lees meer

3:56 Selenium and dark spots on skin
6:45 Copper and age spots
7:54 Clear skin tips
If you have age spots on your face and hands, you’re often offered lasers or creams that don’t work or make matters worse.
Hyperpigmentation, or age spots, is caused by melanin, the naturally occurring pigment in your skin that protects you from ultraviolet light and free radical damage. Dark spots on the skin are actually a protective mechanism.
Melanin spots are caused by uneven melanin production, which means there’s a problem with the regulator in the melanocyte, the cell that produces melanin. This is often caused by oxidative stress.
Glutathione regulates melanin and reduces oxidation. Without enough glutathione, you can’t regulate melanin, which can lead to melanin spots.
Low selenium can cause your glutathione levels to decline. Two Brazil nuts per day offer all the selenium you need. You can also get selenium from shellfish. High-quality animal protein is vital for glutathione production.
The demand for glutathione increases in menopausal women. If you’re dealing with chronic stress, you’ll also need more glutathione.
Copper is a trace mineral that helps your body make melanin. Too much or too little copper can cause issues with melanin production. Zinc can help regulate copper.
After working to increase your glutathione levels, it can take 30 days to 6 weeks to see improvement in your hyperpigmentation. In the meantime, try a vitamin C serum to address dark spots on the skin topically.

6:15 How to avoid fluoride toxicity
Is fluoride safe? Why are toxic ingredients in toothpaste and drinking water? Let’s take a look at some of the dangers of swallowing toothpaste and the toxic effects of fluoride.
Dental fluorosis is a common developmental defect caused by excessive fluoride exposure in children. It’s characterized by white spots and lines on the teeth due to damaged enamel. Around 40% of children will experience dental fluorosis when consuming water with optimal fluoride levels.
When you use fluoridated toothpaste or drink fluoridated water, it’s absorbed systemically into the body. Fluoride accumulates in certain tissues, such as the brain, thyroid, bones, and kidneys. Research has shown that higher fluoride exposure is associated with lower IQs in children.
You might assume that the fluoride added to your water is safer because it’s in the water supply, but this isn't true. The fluoride in our water supply is a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer production!
Many industries repurpose industrial waste to boost profits, including the corn, sewage, petroleum, and seed oil industries.
Use a water filter certified for fluoride reduction to avoid fluoride toxicity and minimize exposure.

4:47 Vitamin B1 to improve urine stream
7:28 Slow urine flow after menopause
Men are told that a weak urine flow is a prostate problem, and women are told that it’s caused by aging or childbirth, but what’s the truth?
If you wake up with a weak urine flow that improves after you drink coffee, this is not a prostate problem. This is related to a problem with your autonomic nervous system and bladder.
A weak urine stream can also be caused by a weak detrusor muscle. This can happen if you’re fatigued, sit frequently, or have insulin resistance. If you’re constantly stressed, your bladder problems might be related to issues with your parasympathetic nervous system.
If your weak urine flow only occurs at night or in the early morning, this is related to your body’s circadian rhythm.
Bethanechol is often used to treat urine flow problems. This medication primarily affects the autonomic nervous system. Vitamin B1 can naturally affect the nervous system to help with a weak urine flow.
Vitamin B1 has many benefits, but you should also focus on correcting the reason you’re deficient in the first place. Following a low-carb diet, reducing your alcohol intake, and intermittent fasting can help correct insulin resistance and improve urine flow problems. Vitamin B1 can also help reduce stress levels.
A weak urine stream after menopause could be related to estrogen. Estrogen greatly influences nitric oxide, which can affect vasodilation and blood flow. Sun exposure and exercise can help. Addressing your indoor lighting and sunlight exposur…

The healthiest food on Earth isn’t just a food; it teaches the immune system, trains the gut microbiome, and even adapts to your environment. Nothing else comes close. It contains immune cells, hormones, and even stem cells.
Breast milk is the healthiest food on Earth, the best food for gut health, and one of the best foods for the immune system. Half of the mother’s immune system is given to the infant through breast milk. If you were breastfed, you have a much stronger immune system and a decreased risk of autoimmune disease and allergies.
Adults can take colostrum to strengthen the immune system and support gut microbiome health. Colostrum supports the gut barrier and protects against leaky gut.
Infant formula is an ultra-processed food for babies and is the first ultra-processed food a child is exposed to. It provides the baby with calories without considering their quality.
RFK and HHS have been looking into heavy metals in baby food. Some of the ingredients in baby formulas are like sponges for heavy metals, which can have devastating health consequences for babies. Infant formulas typically contain industrial seed oils, refined sugars, synthetic vitamins, and processed protein.
Fermented dairy, such as kefir, yogurt, and raw milk cheese, is the best alternative to breast milk and one of the healthiest foods you can eat as an adult. The protein in fermented dairy is broken down, so it’s very easy to digest. It’s a potent immunity booster that can help prevent…

If you have a fatty liver, an inflamed liver, or cirrhosis, your liver won’t be able to properly fuel the brain at night. Insulin resistance is the most common reason the liver cannot supply the brain with glucose at night.
If you have a liver problem, you’ll have massive blood sugar swings throughout the night. When insulin lowers this excess blood sugar, adrenaline quickly mobilizes stored sugar, which wakes you up.
The first blood sugar swing is caused by cortisol, and often occurs between midnight and 1 AM. To fix this problem and allow cortisol to spike at the right time, morning sun exposure is vital. You should also begin turning down your inside lights about 3 hours before bed to avoid stimulating more cortisol. Darkness stimulates the production of melatonin, which helps you sleep.
As we age, we lose sleep pressure. Try the following sleep tips to help restore this pressure:
1. Exercise regularly
2. Avoid stimulants
3. Take magnesium glycinate and zinc in the evening
Insulin resistance is often the underlying cause of liver problems, but they can also be caused by consuming seed oils, sugar, and starch. A diet low in choline and sulfur, late-night snacking, and alcohol can also damage the liver.
Some people have sleep problems when they start the keto diet while their brain adjusts from running on glucose to ketones. If this happens to you, try lowering your carbs more gradually.

The Vitamin D DANGER They Ignored (For Profit)

7:46 Vitamin D toxicity
8:05 Vitamin D deficiency symptoms
Historically, humans were exposed to daily, intense, unfiltered sunlight without any sunscreen. We’ve been convinced that the sun is dangerous and that taking too much vitamin D is risky.
Vitamin D is not really a vitamin! You cannot get nearly enough vitamin D from food. When you’re exposed to the sun, your skin makes vitamin D with the help of cholesterol. Vitamin D acts like a hormone and turns on over 1000 different genes!
There are two systems of vitamin D. The first system supports bone and calcium regulation, and requires the liver and kidneys for conversion into its active form. The autocrine or paracrine system is rarely talked about. Through this second system, inactive vitamin D bypasses the kidneys and liver and is converted into its active form inside the cell. This system of vitamin D supports the immune system, brain, muscles, nervous system, breast tissue, colon, and prostate. This system needs 8000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D every day, while the other system only requires 600 to 800 IU every 3 weeks.
Vitamin D can significantly reduce cancer risk, posing a threat to the cancer drug industry, which makes over 300 billion dollars in revenue each year. Similarly, the Coimbra protocol is very effective at reversing autoimmune disease, which attacks another multi-billion-dollar industry. Vitamin D has also been shown to be beneficial for diabetes, high blood pres…

6:34 The problem with low cholesterol
Our bodies make 3000 mg of cholesterol each day! Babies are born with higher cholesterol, and our brain is composed of it. Cholesterol is vital for our cell membranes, hormones, vitamin D, bile salts, repair, and immunity.
Cholesterol isn’t a poison; it’s an essential building block! When a doctor measures your cholesterol, they’re measuring the cholesterol in the blood, not what’s deep in the cells.
There are two types of cholesterol: HDL and LDL. HDL carries cholesterol from the cells back to the liver for recycling, while LDL delivers cholesterol to the cells. There are two types of LDL cholesterol: small, dense LDL and large, buoyant LDL. Only an advanced lipid profile can discern the difference.
Small, dense LDL particles can cause inflammation and other problems, but this typically occurs only when your glucose is high or you have insulin resistance. If you’re on a low-carb diet and you don’t have insulin resistance, you’ll have more large, buoyant LDL. If you have high levels of large, buoyant LDL, it is not pathogenic!
Cholesterol is a building block of the precursor of cortisol, so if you’re dealing with stress, it could be the reason your cholesterol is high. Testosterone is also made from cholesterol, so if you take a drug to lower cholesterol, your testosterone levels may suffer.
If you have low cholesterol, you won’t produce enough bile. This will interfere with your ability to absorb fat, and you also won’t have enough raw mat…

7:44 How to improve sleep and reduce circadian rhythm disruption
Light affects the circadian system, which in turn influences your mood, metabolism, hormones, sleep, and more. The circadian rhythm is a clock controlled by light and dark signals.
In our modern-day environment, the days are too dim and the nights are too bright. During the day, sunlight is filtered through glass, preventing exposure to UV and infrared light, and at night, we’re exposed to LED lights, TVs, phones, and tablets. We’re dealing with a lack of contrast!
Historically, humans were exposed to significantly more light during the day and minimal light at night. Modern lighting leads to melatonin suppression and affects your sleep and cortisol levels.
Most people are not getting the restful sleep that they need. This affects the metabolism, insulin, blood sugar, and mood. Research has shown that bright nighttime light exposure can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Increasing sunlight exposure alone can improve your blood sugar, while evening bright light exposure can worsen it.
Constant lighting is even considered psychologically harmful. Humans have evolved with significantly more light contrast, so we’re dealing with an ancestral mismatch.
To restore your circadian rhythm and combat the harmful effects of indoor lighting, try the following:

9:04 How to detox naturally
People often think they’re dealing with toxin overload when the problem is with detoxification.
Glutathione is the master detoxification enzyme of the entire body. It protects the mitochondria, keeps hydrogen peroxide in check, protects cell membranes, and supports the function of other antioxidants in the body.
When your glutathione is low, you can not eliminate toxins. Glutathione’s most important function in your body is to protect your mitochondria. Many chronic illnesses are associated with mitochondrial damage, including cancer.
Toxins attack the electron transport chain in the mitochondria, which generates energy. You need energy to detoxify your body! Glutathione helps the body eliminate fat-soluble toxins. It also helps prevent damage to cellular membranes caused by seed oils.
Glutathione supplements are poorly absorbed and break down very quickly. To make glutathione, you need the amino acids cysteine and glycine. You also need selenium, the most important mineral for detox, which is intimately involved in activating glutathione.
Selenium is also vital for thyroid function. If your thyroid is under-functioning, you won’t produce adequate bile, and you won’t be able to detoxify.
The best source of selenium is Brazil nuts. Two per day supplies all the selenium that you need. Other foods high in selenium include Eggs, organ meats, Cruciferous vegetables, Shellfish, and Fish.
Modern-day soils do not have adequate selenium, so it’s easy to become …

The Truth About Vitamin C (It’s Not What You Think)
13 februari 2026 · 9 min
Vitamin C is well-known for its immune health benefits, but is vitamin C really a vitamin at all? In this video, I’ll cover health facts about vitamin C, including the benefits, the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency, and how you can increase your levels. Lees meer

3:34 Vitamin C deficiency symptoms
6:01 Sources of vitamin C
7:32 How to increase your vitamin C levels
What if I told you that vitamin C isn’t a vitamin at all? Vitamin C is a stress survival molecule! The body uses vitamin C when it’s under certain types of stress, such as:
• Infection
• Inflammation
• Injury
• Emotional stress
• Physical stress
• Low oxygen
If you’re on a high-sugar or high-carb diet, vitamin C will not work as efficiently in your body. Humans cannot produce vitamin C, and rely entirely on dietary sources.
Around 90% of vitamin C supplements are synthetic and produced from corn sugar in factories, mostly manufactured overseas. Synthetic vitamin C is incredibly cheap, costing the producer around 30 cents per bottle. Check your vitamin C labels to ensure it’s not just ascorbic acid.
The vitamin C molecule is structurally similar to sugar and enters the cell in the same way. So if you consume a lot of sugar or carbs, you won’t be able to adequately absorb vitamin C.
Vitamin C supports the mitochondria, which is why you might feel fatigued if you’re deficient. It helps you handle stress, recycle other antioxidants, and absorb iron, leaving you feeling tired, weak, foggy, and unable to recover if you don’t have enough. Vitamin C also helps your cells properly respond to oxygen.
Scurvy is the end-stage of a severe vitamin C deficiency. Subclinical scurvy is a modern-day issue characterized by slow healing, easy bruising, frequent infections, chronic fatigue, and chronic in…

9:19 Dry fasting

14:03 Do celebrity health hacks really work?
1. Peptides
Peptides are injectables used by athletes and celebrities for a wide range of health issues. I tried them for my osteoarthritis, but didn’t notice much change. Myofascial stretching is much more effective for osteoarthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids, cod liver, and eliminating seed oils from your diet can also be beneficial.
2. Stem cells
Stem cell therapy is very expensive, and the small improvements were not worth the cost for me. Instead, try prolonged fasting to stimulate stem cells naturally.
3. Intermittent hypoxic/hyperoxic training
This involves using a mask to strategically increase or decrease your oxygen intake during exercise. Reducing your oxygen intake during exercise mimics high-altitude training. As your cells become oxygen-deprived, your body generates new capillaries, increasing oxygen delivery to certain parts of the body. This can be incredibly beneficial for inflammation. To mimic the benefits of hypoxic training without the price tag, try a high-altitude training mask.
4. Ozone therapy
Ozone therapy involves removing your blood, oxygenating it, and reinjecting it. This can be good for hidden infections, but try exercise, saunas, cruciferous vegetables, intermittent fasting, and prolonged fasting to naturally strengthen your body’s detoxification systems instead.
5. Dry fasting
Fasting without food or water can trigger survival gen…

What happens if you’re no longer allowed to say that sugar is harmful? The new Florida agriculture bill could silence health critics and restrict discussion about food and pesticide health risks. This is a big deal!
Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements.
👉 Download Dr. Berg’s Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07
A new bill is being proposed to control who is allowed to speak about agriculture. This bill uses defamation as a weapon and essentially bans freedom of speech about the health effects of certain foods.
Florida already has a law allowing farmers to sue someone who spreads false information about food. These discussions are referred to as "food libel" or "food disparagement."
Investigative journalists have uncovered internal documents from large agricultural and chemical companies that have shown the real goal of the food disparagement law. It’s not about protecting the farmers; it’s about silencing health critics.
This bill aims to silence environmental groups, journalists, activists, and scientists by making lawsuits so expensive and daunting that critics will simply give up. The term for this approach is called “chilling free speech."
The old law applied only to perishable foods, while the new bill removes that classification. This expands the law to all agricultural products, including sugar. What’s even worse, this law includes any agricultural practices used in production. This means the criticism of pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, chemical runoff, water contamination, and more can all be treated as disparagement.
It’s well known that sugar causes insulin resistance, fatty liver, chronic inflammation, type 2 diabetes, and more. The connection between sugar and chronic disease is not a rumor. If this bill is passed and someone speaks out about sugar or pesticides, …

The ONE Exercise to Correct Flat Feet
6 februari 2026 · 5 min
Flat feet are not genetic! Flat feet correction and prevention are simpler than you think. Discover the one exercise to fix flat feet and restore your foot’s arch naturally, along with some easy flat foot exercises to strengthen the arches of your feet. Lees meer
0:00 Introduction: Exercises for flat feet
0:27 Foot arch function
1:38 The best flat feet fix
2:27 More exercises for flat feet
3:26 Flat foot prevention in children
4:04 Vitamin D, K2, magnesium, and flat feet
In this video, I’m going to show you the best flat foot fix that you can do at home. You’re born with flat feet and develop an arch when you’re around 6 to 10 years old. Some people develop a fallen arch as they age because they don't exercise the muscles that strengthen the arches of the feet.
The purpose of your foot’s arch is to provide it with free energy. It acts as a preloaded spring when you walk, climb, or run. You can still walk if you've lost your arch, but other muscles will be recruited. The quads and PSOAS muscles will compensate for flat feet, and the hamstrings, glutes, and lower back will be underused and become weaker.
Sprinting is the best exercise for flat feet, helping restore the foot arch naturally. Even if sprinting is difficult initially, you can improve within 6 to 8 weeks. Jogging is one of the worst exercises for flat feet!
Strengthen the arches of the feet with these exercises and build up to sprinting:
• A skipping
• B skipping
• High knees
• Butt kicks
When sprinting, sprint at 60% intensity, doing 2 to 3 sprints for 15 seconds each.
To prevent flat feet in children, allow them to play in the grass or a safe environment without shoes to strengthen the arches of their feet. Look for shoes with thinner soles; barefoot shoes are best. Also, ensure there’s enough space for the toes to move. This improves posture by strengthening the glutes and taking pressure off the lower back.
Low vitamin D, K2, and magnesium early in life can contribute to flat feet.

Why Magnesium Isn’t Working for You (It’s NOT the Magnesium)
5 februari 2026 · 11 min
Is your magnesium not working, even though you’re taking it daily? Discover why magnesium is not working, how to choose the best type of magnesium, improve magnesium absorption, and avoid common magnesium supplement mistakes in this video. Lees meer
If you’re taking magnesium for sleep and other benefits, yet you’re still dealing with insomnia, fatigue, high blood pressure, heart palpitations, leg cramps, anxiety, and more, this is for you.
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body. It’s involved in over 300 biochemical reactions and is vital for the following:
• Heart rhythm
• Healthy blood pressure levels
• Sleep
• Energy
• Insulin
• Nerve function
• Mitochondrial function
Here are 8 common mistakes people make with magnesium, which could be the reason why your magnesium supplements are not working!
1. Thinking magnesium works by itself
Magnesium and vitamin D are codependent. You need 4,000 to 10,000 IUs of vitamin D for magnesium to work properly in the body. If you don’t have enough vitamin B6, potassium, or sodium, it may seem that your magnesium is not working.
2. Ignoring cell membrane damage
Many people have damaged cell membranes due to the consumption of seed oils. You need healthy cell membranes for magnesium absorption.
3. Stress
Stress shuts down digestion, lowers immunity, decreases blood flow to certain organs, and increases the demand for magnesium. Caffeine can also deplete magnesium.
4. Taking the wrong type of magnesium
Magnesium oxide is the most common form of magnesium in supplements, but it’s the worst! Magnesium glycinate is a much better option and is the most absorbable.
5. Blocking magnesium absorption without knowing
Too much calcium can block the absorption of magnesium. Zinc, fluoride, and aluminum can inhibit its function. Low stomach acid, antacids, and acid blockers can also interfere with magnesium absorption.
6. Misunderstanding RDAs
RDAs do not represent a therapeutic dose. If you’re trying to corre…

Why You Are REALLY Depressed During Winter: NOT Vitamin D

👉 Download Dr. Berg’s Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07
If you’re taking vitamin D3 in the winter, yet still feeling depressed, this video is for you. The key difference between the winter and summer months is sunlight. Sunlight doesn’t just give us vitamin D; it’s involved in over 2000 genes, including those that trigger serotonin and melatonin, affecting the thyroid, microbiome, and more.
Depression is the inability to feel pleasure or a higher state of emotion. Fortunately, there are many ways to elevate someone’s emotional state without the use of medication.
Winter darkness pushes us inside and often exposes us to significantly more artificial light, which can affect our hormones and sleep. Colder temperatures also affect our physiology. Seasonal affective disorder is a condition that results from this misaligned circadian wave.
Morning light is one of the key ways to solve winter depression and properly start your circadian wave for the day!
Winter doesn’t just affect your mood; it desynchronizes your entire biology. Winter depression is often caused by a combination of factors, including:
• Lack of sunlight
• Imbalance of melatonin
• Vitamin D deficiency
• Artificial light
• Decreased serotonin levels
• Decreased melatonin levels
Vitamin D is vital for the proper function of serotonin and dopamine in the body. Adequate vitamin D levels reduce inflammation in the brain and protect you against mitochondrial damage.
The winter months can take a serious toll on your thyroid. The thyroid can’t always quickly adjust to the lack of sun and colder temperatures. This can affect your immune function and mood, and can also cause cold intolerance, brain fog, and weight gain.
The microbiome is also affected by cold temperatures and la…

4:32 Environment and the processed food diet
6:28 How to quit sugar and junk food
My entire childhood was filled with sugar, starch, seed oils, sweetened cereals, candy, soda, TV dinners, and more. As I got older, I’d graze after dinner until bedtime every single night. I consumed junk food and refined foods in the military while my life was high in stress and low in sleep. In college, I dealt with more stress, drank lots of coffee, and ate more junk food.
Side effects of my unhealthy diet included:
• Ulcers
• Liver and gallbladder problems
• Referred pain in the right shoulder
• Restless legs syndrome
• Nervousness
• Insomnia
• Dry eyes
• Severe arthritis
• Kidney stones
I weighed 211 pounds, but the food I was eating was not satisfying!
Refined carbs and sugar stimulate dopamine, which is not a pleasure neurotransmitter. Dopamine is an anticipatory neurotransmitter. The more you have, the more your body wants. If you eat too much junk food, you can develop dopamine resistance. This is what drives addiction, and why ultra-processed foods may satisfy you initially, but leave you feeling hungry an hour later. This is called dopamine hunger!
You’re not struggling with your diet because of a lack of willpower; it’s your environment. The modern world is engineered with so many things to keep us hooked and addicted. Removing the triggers is the only solution!
Ditch your unhealthy diet by focusing on your environment first. Try these steps:

AVOID This If You Have High Blood Pressure

4:38 DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice)
6:02 Dangerous herbs
If you consume too much of this herb, it can cause you to retain sodium and flush potassium. You could also experience muscle cramps and heart arrhythmias!
Licorice is commonly consumed in tea and candy, and some people take licorice root for adrenal health. Licorice contains a compound called glycyrrhizin, which blocks an enzyme in your body that protects you from producing too much cortisol. When you don’t have this enzyme, cortisol rises.
Our bodies are designed to retain sodium because sodium hasn’t always been readily available. Today, we get plenty of sodium and not enough potassium. You need 4700 mg of potassium per day, a key electrolyte for heart health. It also helps generate energy in the nerves and muscles, protects against blood sugar issues, and helps store glycogen in your liver.
Licorice supplements should not be taken daily, especially if you’re older, have high blood pressure, or are on certain medications like diuretics or Prednisone. Two cups of licorice tea per day may be enough to start shifting your body's electrolyte balance. Similarly, 100 mg of licorice candy daily for 2 weeks can also be problematic. One dose is not dangerous, but chronic low doses of licorice can build up in the body.
Natural remedies are very powerful but not always completely safe for everyone. Licorice has been used for thousands of years as a remedy for ulcers, coughs, infl…

0:29 Anxiety explained
2:16 Blood sugar anxiety
2:45 Cortisol and anxiety
5:01 Poor sleep and chronic anxiety
6:48 Stimulants and anxiety
Anxiety has nothing to do with what's going on in your head and everything to do with what’s going on in your body!
Anxiety is a state or condition of worry, indecision, fear, and tension. Anxiety symptoms often involve feelings or concerns that something bad is going to happen. Anxiety interferes with your ability to feel comfortable in your own skin, your sleep, and your overall state of well-being.
Anxiety can directly affect your body, keeping you in a state of fight or flight. A heart rate variability test can determine how often your body is in this state.
So, what causes anxiety? Here are five common causes.
1. Low blood sugar
If your blood sugar is too low, you will have anxiety. When your blood sugar is low, your brain isn't getting fuel, which sends your body into panic mode. This increases cortisol and adrenaline, which causes the liver to release sugar so the brain can get fuel.
Removing sugar from the diet and replacing it with high-quality protein, healthy fats, and vegetables can help fix this issue.
2. Lack of sleep
Poor sleep increases cortisol, causing you to feel grouchiness, unnecessary worry, and anxiety. Blood sugar problems could also be the reason you aren’t sleeping well.
3. Low vitamin B1
Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is one of the most important vitamins for your nervous system and brain. Anxiety and nervous tension are often the result of a deficiency in this vitamin.
4. Stimulants
Too much caffeine affects your nervous system and depletes vitamin B1. Chocolate, coff…

4:32 More natural pain relief alternatives
6:15 Triggers of pain and inflammation
8:25 Preventing inflammation
Turmeric contains a potent compound called curcumin that can naturally alleviate pain and inflammation.
There are 4 biochemical pathways that act as “master switches” to turn pain and inflammation up or down:
1. Pain and inflammatory factory
2. Master inflammation on-switch
3. Inflammation megaphone
4. Backup inflammatory alarm system
Many inflammatory treatments do not address all four pathways. Ibuprofen is great at turning the pain and inflammation switch off, and does so very quickly. Unfortunately, this pathway protects the stomach and kidneys, so ibuprofen can cause stomach ulcers and kidney issues. It also doesn’t address the other inflammatory pathways, which is why people often have to take it repeatedly.
Tylenol works in the brain, affecting the central nervous system, but does not relieve any inflammation. Similar to ibuprofen, aspirin works on the first inflammatory pathway, which can also affect your stomach.
Turmeric affects 3 out of the 4 inflammatory pathways! A double-blind randomized controlled study found that taking 1500 mg of turmeric with black pepper produced results comparable to ibuprofen without the side effects.
Extra-virgin olive oil mimics ibuprofen's effects at the molecular level. Try adding it to your salad regularly! Ginger and omega-3 fatty acids also work to reduce inflammation.

8:42 Addiction recovery and restoring dopamine levels
Chronic porn addiction can destroy your sex life, your love life, and even interfere with your emotions. Porn addiction isn’t about sex or pleasure; it’s about dopamine.
Pornography is the number one cause of erectile dysfunction in men under 40. Erectile dysfunction isn’t just the loss of erection; it’s a loss of libido and the ability to climax.
The porn industry is not selling sex, they’re selling dopamine spikes! Dopamine is not a pleasure hormone, it’s a neurotransmitter. It’s about the anticipation before the pleasure: the want.
Over time, pornography creates massive dopamine spikes, but the receptors are unable to receive them. This causes anticipation, cravings, and an obsessive urge to watch more porn. This is similar to the carb cravings you might experience if you have insulin resistance.
Although 98 to 99 percent of porn is free, the porn industry manages to make billions off of the 1-2 percent of porn you have to pay for. This system relies on decreased sensitivity to dopamine, causing a person to crave more extreme porn.
Too much dopamine leads to excitotoxicity, which is toxic to your neurons. As a protective mechanism, your cells will limit the amount of dopamine they allow in through a process called downregulation.
The good news is that the damage to your dopamine receptors is reversible! The surprising solution is boredom. Allow yourself to be bored if you’re faced with the urge to watch porn. Over time, this will become easier and easier a…

Today, I’m going to show you how to get rid of vertigo for good. The most common type of vertigo is known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV. This type of vertigo is caused by tiny calcium crystals that have broken off and migrated to the incorrect part of the ear, resulting in dizziness and spinning sensations.
There are tiny hairs in the ear connected to nerves that pick up information and send it to your brain. A gel keeps this area sensitive, and calcium crystals act as weights in the gel to enhance its effectiveness.
Calcium-binding proteins hold the calcium in the gel, which is regulated by vitamin D3. Many people with vertigo are extremely deficient in vitamin D!
Vitamin D controls 2,400 different genes and is essential for immune function, healthy blood pressure levels, and acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. There is a tremendous amount of research supporting the use of vitamin D3 as an effective remedy for vertigo. Still, some research does not utilize nearly enough vitamin D. To prevent vertigo, you need at least 6,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily.
Vitamin D does not work without magnesium. Magnesium is one of the master controllers of calcium, so a combination of vitamin D3 with magnesium is one of the best things you can do for vertigo.

What if I told you that eating breakfast is one of the worst things you can do for your liver health?
At night, when you sleep, you’re fasting! Your liver releases stored glucose and enters a repair mode called autophagy while you sleep, and when you eat breakfast, you interrupt this process. Your insulin levels are lowest in the morning, and fat-burning is directly linked to low insulin levels.
Eggs and bacon are a good breakfast, but most people consume more carbs, which stimulates insulin production. Breakfast for most people includes foods such as sweetened yogurt, juice, cereal, pancakes, waffles, muffins, toast, jelly, hash browns, and more! This creates a massive blood sugar spike, setting you up for a day full of blood sugar swings.
Many people eat eggs and bacon with their carbs and assume it’s fine as long as they’re getting protein. Although protein can help lower blood sugar, it does not reduce insulin levels.
Chronic high insulin can have the following effects on your liver and overall health:
• Inability to burn fat
• Keeps the body in fat-storing mode
• Sodium retention
• Increased hunger
• Inflammation
• Visceral fat
• Iron retention
• Halts ketosis
• Fibrosis of the liver
• Increased androgens
• Fatigue
• Nighttime urination
• Increased cortisol

1:35 What is DHA?
6:23 Omega-3 benefits for immune function
Cod liver oil has historically been used for conditions such as tuberculosis and rickets, and has shown remarkable benefits in preventing deadly infections and supporting wound healing. In the early 1900s, the vast majority of remedies were natural.
Cod liver oil benefits go far beyond its omega-3, vitamin A, and vitamin D content. Check out the following unique properties and benefits of cod liver oil!
1. Cod liver oil matches the brain
The DHA and EPA ratio in cod liver oil closely matches the omega-3 fatty acid ratio in your brain. Cod liver oil is high in DHA, while fish oil is higher in EPA. This is good for inflammation, but DHA is better for the brain, eyes, mitochondria, and immune system. DHA is an essential structural fat in the brain that’s vital for nerve cell function and communication. It also strengthens the membranes of the mitochondria.
2. Alkylglycerol
This compound is not found in fish oil. Alkylglycerol is naturally present in bone marrow and helps regulate the immune system and supports the production of antibodies.
3. Seed oils compete with key fats in cod liver oil
Seed oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, while cod liver oil is high in omega-3s. The average American consumes 20% to 25% of their calories from seed oils, which build up in the body’s membranes over time. Because these two fats compete, cod liver oil can help mitigate the damage of seed oil consumption.
4. Cardiolipin
This compound helps you make energy, but it’s dependent on DHA.
