  • BETTER Than Ozempic! SUPPRESS Your Cravings

    Avoiding cravings is not up to sheer willpower. In this video, I’ll share the foods and habits that act as natural appetite suppressants to stop hunger and reduce cravings. Discover the best foods to suppress your appetite naturally so you can lose weight, feel good, and look good!

    0:00 Introduction: The best foods to suppress appetite

    0:43 Hunger and appetite explained
    1:05 The best natural appetite suppressants
    5:51 Other ways to curb hunger

    Hunger and appetite don’t start with your stomach. Did you know that your microbes and gut bacteria can manipulate your brain and cause you to eat the wrong thing?

    In this video, I'm going to help you reduce cravings for sugar, refined carbs, MSG, alcohol, and ultra-processed foods.

    Here’s a list of the best foods to suppress your appetite naturally. These foods contain potent compounds to leave you feeling full and satisfied, and prevent insulin spikes to help stabilize your blood sugar.

    1. Coffee

    2. Avocado
    3. Dark chocolate
    4. Cayenne pepper
    5. Apple cider vinegar
    6. Green tea
    7. Bone broth
    8. Protein-rich meals
    9. Ginger
    10. Dark leafy green vegetables
    11. Olive oil
    12. MCT oil
    13. Turmeric
    14. Zinc
    15. Kombucha tea
    16. Grapefruit
    17. Arugula
    18. Full-fat protein

    Eating fatty protein or fat with protein prevents a high insulin spike, which lowers your blood sugar. Avoiding this dip in blood sugar can reduce cravings and curb hunger. Eating fiber also helps buffer the insulin response.

    Light exercise, like a long walk, is excellent for your blood sugar and can help reduce cravings. An extra 30 minutes of sleep significantly reduces cortisol, stabilizing blood sugar and suppressing appetite naturally.

    Minimize stress with exercise, physical work, sleep, a healthy diet, and stretching. Ashwagandha is also beneficial, along with magnesium glycinate before bed.

    0:00 Introduction: How to get rid of a double chin
    0:25 Fascia
    1:02 4 double chin exercises
    1:12 Double chin exercise #1
    1:57 Double chin exercise #2
    2:38 Double chin exercise #3
    3:44 Double chin exercise #4

    Today, I’m going to show you four easy double chin exercises that can get rid of a turkey neck for good. Because of the typical loose skin, a double chin is often referred to as a turkey neck. If you do these double chin exercises on a regular basis, you will see massive improvement!

    As we age, we develop loose skin, especially under the neck, which does not get much exercise.

    There’s a superficial and a deep layer of connective tissue called fascia under the skin on your neck. The muscles and fascia in your neck are responsible for head flexion, chin movement, and jaw movement.

    The first face exercise works the muscle that pulls the jaw down when you open your mouth. The next exercise, which looks like a frown, activates the superficial fascia. The third exercise creates an elongation and deep stretch of the fascia. The fourth and final exercise allows for head flexion to strengthen and tone the fascia.

    Remember, If you don't use it, you lose it! Stretching, strengthening, and tightening the fascia with these simple double chin exercises can eliminate a turkey neck!

  • #1 Best Fix for POOR Eyesight (Especially Over 50!)

    Around 1 in 4 people over 65 have cataracts, and by 80, that figure jumps to 1 in 2. Many people go blind because of this! Find out how to help prevent cataracts naturally with an effective natural remedy.



    Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)


    0:00 Introduction: Cataracts explained

    0:17 What causes cataracts?
    1:34 The best remedy for cataracts
    3:44 NAC for cataracts and eye health
    5:04 How to use NAC for cataracts
    5:55 Cataract risk factors

    NAC Product Link: 🛒 https://drbrg.co/43jGdCW

    BOOK LINK: https://www.amazon.com/Cataract-Cure-...

    DATA:

    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles...https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12001...https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26084...

    All it takes is a small amount of oxidative stress to the eye's lens to develop a cataract. A healthy lens is composed of an organized protein called crystallin. When this tissue becomes damaged, it is not replaced.

    Glycation can damage the lens of the eye. It results from sugar connecting to a protein and then becoming stuck and unusable to the body. Steroids like Prednisone can also increase the risk of cataracts.

    Not all surgeries can eliminate cataracts, and they can come with complications. According to “The Cataract Cure” by Dr. Marios Kyriazis, there is a safe, effective remedy for cataracts. Carnosine is a unique compound that can penetrate the lens of the eye and help with cataracts.

    Carnosine is a potent antioxidant that can dissolve damaged proteins. It can also activate your own antioxidants. NAC (n-acetyl carnosine) eye drops are one of the best remedies for cataracts.

    In an experiment conducted at the Moscow Helmholtz Research Institute of Eye Diseases, scientists used NAC eyedrops at 1% concentration on rabbits. They found that NAC could reach the inner parts of the eye within 15 to 30 minutes. No side effects were reported during this experiment.

    The author concluded that NAC is a proposed eye treatment for eye disorders, including cataracts, glaucoma, corneal disorders, inflammation, and complications from diabetes.

    The same group of scientists who performed the rabbit studies also tested NAC on humans. They selected 49 volunteers with an average age of 65 who had established age-related cataracts. After 6 months, researchers found that:

    •41% of people presented a significant reduction of clouding in the lens
    •90% showed a gradual improvement in vision
    •89% showed up to a 100% improvement in sensitivity to glare

    NAC for cataracts must be used for at least 3 to 5 months. Antioxidants such as those found in onions, egg yolks, leafy greens, and grass-fed red meat can protect you against cataracts.

    Vitamin A is vital for eye health and can be found in cod liver oil and grass-fed liver. B vitamins, especially B2, B6, and folate, are also essential.

    2:28 Top mistakes when consuming lemon water
    6:02 Learn more about lemon juice!

    Let’s talk about lemon juice and how to avoid common mistakes when consuming it.

    It’s important to avoid pasteurized lemon juice because the heat used can destroy some of the benefits. Instead, consume lemon juice squeezed from organic lemons or blend whole organic lemons.

    Top potential benefits of lemons and limes:

    • They can help reduce kidney stones
    • They’re high in vitamin C and may help reduce the symptoms of vitamin C deficiency and scurvy
    • They have an antihistamine effect
    • They have anti-fungal properties
    • They can help reduce uric acid
    • They can help increase iron absorption

    Top mistakes people make when consuming lemon juice:

    1. Drinking it right before a meal
    What to do:
    • Consume lemon water at least a half hour before you eat.

    2. Not diluting it with water and not using a straw

    What to do:
    • Dilute your lemon juice with water and drink it through a straw.

    3. Drinking it if you have an ulcer or gastritis

    What to do:
    • Lemon water will cause a burning sensation in this situation. Avoid anything acidic if you have an ulcer or inflammation in the stomach.

    4. Drinking it if you have alkalosis

    What to do:
    • Lemon juice can worsen the symptoms of alkalosis and should be avoided in this situation.

  • You Will NEVER Eat Sugar Again after This!

    The average American consumes 75 teaspoons of sugar per day! Find out why you should stop eating sugar today. Your health depends on it!

    Uploaded 12-08-24

    Watch this episode next: Reset Your Body in 5 Days (With Zero Food)

    Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements.

    0:00 Introduction: Stop eating sugar!
    0:12 Symptoms of low blood sugar
    1:24 Blood sugar explained
    2:12 Insulin resistance
    4:44 Processed sugar vs. whole sugars
    9:56 What about low blood sugar?
    10:24 How to break sugar addiction
    10:39 Fructose

    Today, we’re going to discuss the effects of sugar on your health. Sugar is considered toxic in the body, so it is removed from the blood when you consume it. Similar to body temperature, blood sugar is kept constant at around 80. When you consume sugar, the hormone insulin removes sugar from the blood and puts it into the cells.

    If you continue eating large amounts of sugar, the body begins to protect itself by blocking the receptors for insulin in your cells. This ultimately decreases the amount of sugar inside your cells.

    Over time, this compensation mechanism will break down, and you will no longer produce enough insulin to keep your blood sugar levels down, eventually leading to diabetes.

    There are two types of sugar: processed sugars and whole sugars. Heavily processed sugars, such as glucose, dextrose, corn syrup, glucose syrup, high fructose corn syrup, agave syrup, white sugar, brown sugar, and rice syrup, are devoid of important nutrients like B vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, and phytonutrients.

    Your body requires nutrients to turn sugar into energy. When you consume processed sugars without the nutrients, your body pulls from your nutrient reserves to use the sugar as fuel.

    Raw honey has 181 different chemicals that offer protection and allow you to metabolize the sugar. Maple syrup, turbinado sugar, molasses, coconut sugar, palm sugar, and date sugar are also less processed forms of sugar.

    If you’re having trouble quitting sugar, consume fruits or whole sugars instead of processed sugars as you focus on lowering your intake.

    Some parts of the immune system benefit from high doses of zinc, while others thrive with just the right amount of zinc. Taking 100 to 200 mg of zinc for 3 days is beneficial if you have an inflammatory infection, but high doses of zinc for extended periods can also be damaging. Know when to take zinc and avoid high doses for long periods.

    2. No cofactors taken with zinc

    Cofactors are vitamins and minerals that work together to allow our biochemistry to work. For zinc to function properly in the body, you need adequate magnesium, vitamin B6, and folate.

    3. Not knowing when you’re deficient

    White nail spots can sometimes indicate a zinc deficiency, but how can you know for sure if you’re deficient? Try the zinc test! Take a small amount of zinc in your mouth and swish it around. If you can taste the metallic taste, you are not deficient. If you can’t taste anything, you need more zinc.

    4. Taking too little zinc

    Taking too little zinc is just as bad as taking too much! Carbohydrates contain phytic acid, which blocks zinc. This is why zinc deficiency is so common in children. Diarrhea can deplete zinc and other minerals, and low stomach acid can inhibit mineral absorption. Alcohol, pregnancy, and high estrogen from birth control pills can also increase your demand for zinc.

    Red meat, shellfish, liver, and oysters are the best sources of zinc. If you opt for supplements, you must take at least 30 mg of zinc daily for a therapeutic effect. Zinc works best when taken with food, but it still works on an empty stomach.
