This is often when the brain’s reward system is at its lowest point, causing many people to give up right before things start to improve.Sugar can combine with proteins in the body through a process called glycation, permanently damaging tissues and nerve endings. Over time, a high-sugar diet can also contribute to insulin resistance.When quitting sugar, it’s important to eliminate hidden sugars as well. Starches are a common hidden sugar found in many ultra-processed foods.Brain fog, irritability, and fatigue are common during a sugar detox and often drive people back to sugar. This happens because the brain is craving dopamine and pushing you to consume more sugar.Around day 5, many people begin experiencing the benefits of quitting sugar, including reduced cravings, lower inflammation, improved mental clarity, better energy, and weight loss.B vitamins, potassium, and magnesium may also help reduce sugar cravings and support the body during the transition.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Take the 2-minute quiz to discover your #1 Health Lever: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 Constantly clearing your throat? If decongestants and antihistamines aren’t working, the real problem may not be post-nasal drip or your lungs; it could be silent reflux.Many cases of chronic phlegm and throat clearing are caused by silent reflux, where digestive enzymes like pepsin irritate the throat and vocal cords. In response, the body produces inflammatory mucus as a protective mechanism.Silent reflux can occur when the valve at the top of the stomach isn’t functioning properly. This may be related to SIBO, but more commonly it’s linked to low stomach acid. When stomach acid isn’t acidic enough, and the pH becomes too high, the valve can lose its ability to stay closed properly.Antacids may provide temporary relief, but they can further weaken stomach acid and worsen the underlying problem over time.The stomach valve and digestive processes are also heavily influenced by the vagus nerve, which controls the parasympathetic “rest-and-digest” system. Chronic stress can interfere with this system and contribute to silent reflux symptoms.Frequent eating can further weaken stomach acid, and the problem often becomes more common with age.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Are your feet and ankles swelling every evening? Discover why your ankles swell at night and how to relieve edema in the legs and feet naturally by addressing the root cause. 0:00 Introduction: Why feet swell in the evening0:50 Common swollen feet causes 2:04 The real reason why feet swell3:21 Potassium and swollen ankles and feet4:28 How to eliminate edema symptoms👉 10 biological signals control how you feel every day, but only 1 of these 10 signals matters most to your body.Take my free 2-minute quiz and discover which signal YOU need to fix: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 Your arteries deliver oxygen-rich blood throughout the body, while the venous system returns it to the heart. Fluid retention in the feet is often due to an issue with the venous system. Liver and kidney damage can contribute to fluid retention in the feet. Many people are told swelling is caused by sitting or standing too long or venous insufficiency, and are often given diuretics or advised to follow a low-salt diet. This treats the symptom, while ignoring the root cause.When insulin levels are too high, the body retains sodium, leading to fluid retention. Carbohydrates raise insulin, making this a key driver of swelling. A high-carb diet can create a “metabolic sponge” effect, showing up as edema in the feet and ankles.If you don’t address your diet, it will be difficult to resolve swelling in the legs and feet. To address the root cause, focus on lowering insulin levels, reducing eating frequency, and increasing potassium intake to help reduce fluid retention and support healthy circulation.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

If you’re taking magnesium for sleep or muscle cramps and notice it’s not working, you could be making one of these common magnesium mistakes. Learn how to take magnesium correctly for the most magnesium benefits. Your health will thank you.0:00 Introduction: Magnesium mistakes 0:14 Magnesium dosage 1:03 Magnesium RDA explained3:29 Magnesium types explained 4:58 The best magnesium supplement 7:04 Magnesium deficiency symptoms 14:01 Correcting magnesium deficiency and magnesium benefits 👉 Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07The average recommended dose of magnesium is 350–420 mg, but this was never meant to optimize brain and nervous system function. It’s the bare minimum to prevent deficiency, not support optimal health.The form of magnesium matters. Many supplements use magnesium oxide, which has very low absorption and can limit results.Magnesium glycinate is one of the best forms, with high absorption and better tolerance for the digestive system.Only about 1% of magnesium is found in the blood, making deficiency difficult to detect with standard blood tests. An RBC magnesium test is slightly better, but still not fully accurate.To support healthy magnesium levels, take 300–400 mg of magnesium glycinate a few times per day. This can help support blood pressure, reduce palpitations, and improve sleep.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Over 30 million Americans have been told a 19 billion dollar lie.

Irving Kirsch examined clinical trials on antidepressants and found that around 78% of them were unpublished, rewritten, or contained inflated results.The “gold standard” for measuring depression is the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), which relies on subjective reporting and was not originally created to diagnose depression.In placebo-controlled trials, antidepressants did not significantly improve depression more than a sugar pill. A good night’s sleep can improve the symptoms of depression significantly more than medication. Antidepressants come with a black box warning and many other side effects, including the following:• Sexual dysfunction • Post-SSRI sexual dysfunction • Emotional blunting• Discontinuation syndrome• Insomnia• Nausea• Anxiety• DepressionExercise, St. John’s wort, omega-3s, and adequate sleep can help improve the symptoms of depression naturally.

There are many possible reasons why you feel tired all the time. It’s important to identify and address the root cause, not the symptom. Find out how to boost energy naturally by addressing the most common chronic fatigue causes at the source. 0:00 Introduction: Why am I always tired? 0:23 Constant fatigue causes 1:22 Fatigue and blood sugar4:26 Latent virus fatigue6:56 Low oxygen and chronic fatigue9:13 Low vitamin B1 and fatigue symptoms13:30 Adrenal fatigueDownload Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07Stimulating the body with caffeine can actually make fatigue worse. Instead of masking the problem, you need to get to the root cause of fatigue. Once you address it, you can often get rid of chronic fatigue completely.Not getting enough sleep significantly affects cognitive function. It also impacts blood sugar, increasing cravings and leading to more snacking. If you have insomnia, focus on simple habits like taking long walks in nature during the day without your cell phone, stretching before bed, dimming the lights at night, and avoiding snacking before sleep.If your blood sugar is constantly going up and down, you’re going to feel tired. Even if there’s plenty of food available, your cells aren’t getting the fuel they need. One of the key solutions is to eliminate sugar and excess carbs from the diet.A slow thyroid, histamines, latent viruses, and electrolyte imbalances are some of the most common hidden causes of fatigue. Even a lack of sun exposure could be the reason behind chronic fatigue.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

This is also known as metabolic dysfunction. The worst foods for the metabolism are often considered healthy, but consuming them could be the reason you’re struggling to lose weight. Fruit juice is often considered a healthy choice, but it’s actually about 55% fructose. Fructose can only be metabolized by the liver, so consuming it in high amounts can lead to liver stress, fatty liver, increased belly fat, and metabolic problems. Seed oils are often labeled as “heart-healthy,” but are highly processed, genetically modified, and typically contain herbicides. Up to 30% of daily calories in the average diet come from seed oils, which can contribute to inflammation and metabolic dysfunction.Other foods like oat milk and agave nectar spike blood sugar and insulin, disrupting metabolic health, preventing weight loss, and slowing your metabolism over time.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:'Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
