    Today I want to give you some tips on how to take a cold shower for the benefits without feeling so uncomfortable.

    When we’re too comfortable, our bodies weaken. So, adding a little stress, as long as it’s not overwhelming, can be a positive thing. A few other examples of good stressors are exercise and intermittent fasting.

    • Mood support
    • Increased energy
    • Increased fat-burning
    • Improved insulin resistance
    • Increased longevity

    11 tips to make taking cold showers easier:

    1. Start by taking a warm shower and gradually make the water colder
    2. Rub the skin while being exposed to the cold water
    3. Relax your entire body
    4. Slow down your breathing
    5. Turn on some music
    6. Before your cold shower, do intense exercise
    7. Don’t overthink it, just do it
    8. Gradually increase intervals
    9. End your shower with warm water
    10. Gradually do portions of your body in the cold water
    11. Do intermittent exposure to the cold water

  • The Fiber Myth: Is Constipation Triggered by Absent Fiber?

    FREE PDF: Top 25 Home Remedies That Really Work 👉 https://drbrg.co/3UtebQu



    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.

    If you’re constipated, you just need more fiber—right? Wrong. Discover the best ways to relieve constipation that actually help.

    DATA:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3435786/
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16815488/
    https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15654804/

    0:00 Introduction: What causes constipation?

    0:22 What is constipation?
    2:00 The #1 mistake people make when dealing with constipation
    2:50 Constipation remedies
    8:10 Learn more about intermittent fasting!

    Today I’m going to cover the worst mistake people make when dealing with constipation and what to do for constipation.

    Constipation is congestion in your gut—you have too much stool. Fiber increases stool volume.

    Fiber also causes your microbes to create fermentation, which leads to gas and bloating. Some studies suggest that consuming fiber can even worsen conditions like chronic constipation or SIBO.

    The biggest mistake people make when dealing with constipation is consuming more fiber.

    How to deal with constipation naturally:

    1. Reduce your fiber
    2. Talk to your doctor about whether or not it’s a side effect of a medication (and what to do if it is)
    3. Consume vitamin B1
    4. Lower your stress
    5. Take bile salts
    6. Take a probiotic
    7. Do intermittent fasting
    8. Consume a moderate amount of protein
    9. Consume betaine hydrochloride and apple cider vinegar
    10. Consume magnesium and potassium

    4 Dangerous Ingredients to Avoid – Wallet Cutout Card: https://drbrg.co/4fCumUs

    0:00 Introduction: 4 ingredients that will kill you

    1:00 Junk food ingredients
    2:45 Nutrition facts vs. ingredients
    3:05 The 4 common ingredients in junk food
    4:38 Click the link to download my printout card!

    In this video, we’re going to talk about 4 common ingredients found in 99% of all junk foods that can shorten your life. You won’t understand which foods to avoid until you know the ingredients.

    Hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate, interesterified soybean oil, hydrolyzed corn oil, maltodextrin, dextrose, and dextrin are chemical names for common junk food ingredients. Companies use these names to cause confusion.

    It’s important to look beyond nutrition facts and read the ingredients because not all calories are the same. Calories from high fructose corn syrup are not the same as fructose from fruit. Synthetic starches differ from the starch found in vegetables, and there’s a big difference between cane sugar and synthetic sugars like glucose syrup.

    Check the ingredient list and avoid these foods!

    1. Sugar

    2. Starches
    3. Seed oils
    4. Refined proteins

    Soy protein isolates and A1 beta-casein create inflammation and should be avoided. You’ll also want to avoid wheat gluten.

    Print out my convenient cutout card to keep in your wallet so you’ll know which foods to avoid on the go!

  • Osteoporosis Isn't a Calcium Deficiency (Doctors Get This Wrong)

    Can calcium make osteoporosis worse? If you’re taking a calcium supplement for osteoporosis, it may not be supporting bone strength and bone density the way you think. Discover how to support bone health the right way, and why calcium supplements alone may not be enough.

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

    Osteoporosis is not simply a calcium deficiency. Bones store calcium, phosphorus, and more than half of the body’s magnesium. Magnesium helps regulate calcium, supports vitamin D function, and plays an important role in bone health.

    One of the most common factors associated with osteoporosis is elevated parathyroid hormone related to low vitamin D. Low magnesium can also affect parathyroid hormone. Some people have normal calcium levels but still develop severe osteoporosis, showing that bone density and bone strength are not always the same.

    Magnesium deficiency is difficult to detect with a standard blood test and may go unnoticed until it becomes more severe. Chronic stress and certain medications, including prednisone and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), may also affect bone health.

    If you have osteoporosis, getting enough magnesium is important. Focus on magnesium-rich foods, magnesium glycinate, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 to help support healthy bones and maintain bone density.

    After 50, several changes occur in your body that can affect your health, such as:
    • Decreased stomach acid production
    • Reduced gut microbiome diversity
    • Anabolic resistance
    • Increased inflammation

    Wild salmon and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, which help reduce inflammation and support brain health and cognitive function. These benefits become especially important as you age.

    Sauerkraut and kefir help support gut microbiome health and diversity as you age. Fermented foods can also help reduce inflammatory markers. Look for fermented foods in the refrigerated section to get the most benefits.

    Bone broth is a good source of collagen, which is critical for healthy aging. Collagen supports connective tissues, skin health, cardiovascular health, and more.

  • The 13 Greatest Blood Sugar Mistakes Diabetics Make (Correct This Now)

    Find out how to improve blood sugar control and stop making common blood sugar mistakes! In this video, we’ll cover 13 blood sugar mistakes to avoid, along with the best blood sugar management tips for healthy blood sugar levels.



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


    Chapters:

    0:00 Introduction: Stop making blood sugar mistakes!

    0:25 High blood sugar explained
    2:41 Insulin resistance and diabetes
    5:47 Common blood sugar regulation mistakes
    12:22 How to lower blood sugar naturally
    14:05 More blood sugar management tips

    Did you know that all of the blood in your body should only contain a single teaspoon of sugar? Our bodies tightly regulate the amount of sugar in our blood at any given time. If you have prediabetes, that number rises to 1.5 teaspoons. With diabetes, the blood contains 2 teaspoons of sugar.

    The average person consumes between 50 and 100 teaspoons of sugar every day. Insulin removes the sugar from your blood and converts it to fat or stored sugar in the liver and muscles. The body only needs a tiny amount of sugar (which the liver can make on its own), so we don’t actually need to consume any sugar at all.

    Chronic excessive sugar consumption can lead to the development of insulin resistance, which is at the root of many chronic diseases.

    Improve blood sugar control by avoiding these common mistakes when testing your blood sugar.

    1. Not washing your hands
    2. Using alcohol wipes incorrectly
    3. Using expired strips
    4. Hot sauna or cold plunge before testing
    5. Tylenol usage
    6. Taking vitamin C and other supplements
    7. Squeezing fingers
    8. Using different fingers
    9. Using continuous glucose monitors
    10. Testing at high altitudes
    11. Drinking coffee
    12. Checking glucose in the morning
    13. Dehydration

    An A1C test measures the average blood sugar over a period of 3 months. Several factors, including ethnicity, anemia, and diet, can affect these results.

    The liver is at the root of the problem when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Fortunately, a low-carb diet with intermittent fasting can quickly eliminate liver fat and correct insulin resistance and diabetes.

    To further support healthy blood sugar levels, try the following:

    •Consistent exercise
    •Apple cider vinegar diluted in water before meals
    •Morning walks
    •Berberine
    •Get plenty of sleep
    •Reduce stress levels
    •Increase sunlight exposure

    0:20 What is magnesium?
    1:04 Magnesium deficiency symptoms
    2:30 The first sign of magnesium deficiency
    2:50 Why you need magnesium
    4:19 Magnesium deficiency causes
    4:23 The best sources of magnesium

    6:09 Other causes of magnesium deficiency

    Today, I want to cover the first sign of magnesium deficiency. Many people don’t get enough magnesium from their diet, not to mention other factors that deplete magnesium.

    Magnesium is a cofactor involved in 350 enzymes. A cofactor is something that is required by an enzyme to work.

    Symptoms of magnesium deficiency:

    • Cramping
    • Twitching
    • Arrhythmia
    • Osteoporosis
    • Osteomalacia
    • Insulin resistance
    • Insomnia
    • High cortisol
    • Depression

    However, the number one symptom of magnesium deficiency is fatigue.

    The top cause of low magnesium is not consuming enough magnesium in the diet. Foods rich in magnesium are vegetables and leafy greens.

    Consuming large salads is a great way to get the magnesium you need. But you can also take a magnesium supplement. If you do take a supplement, consider magnesium glycinate.

    Other causes of magnesium deficiency:

    1. Refined foods
    2. Fructose
    3. Alcohol
    4. Certain medications

    0:58 What causes hearing loss?
    2:11 Viruses associated with hearing loss
    2:43 Hearing loss and diabetes
    3:32 Vitamin D and hearing loss

    Today, we’re going to talk about resolving hearing loss with nutrients. Viruses and nutritional deficiencies are the leading causes of hearing loss.

    When you experience an acute infection, there is an initial dramatic decrease in zinc and iron. Both are related to hearing loss. Viruses can also cause selenium deficiency. Selenium is important in converting T4 to T3 and supports the T-helper cell, which coordinates the entire immune system.

    Diabetes can damage the sensory nerves in the ear and cause hearing impairment. This is known as diabetic autonomic neuropathy. Hearing loss associated with diabetes results from severe vitamin B1 deficiency.

    Vitamin B1 is the key nutrient supporting the autonomic nervous system; if you’re diabetic, you’re likely deficient. Take benfotiamine, a form of B1 that can penetrate the myelin sheath, for hearing loss associated with diabetes.

    Vitamin D plays a critical role in protecting against autoimmune conditions. Many autoimmune conditions, such as autoimmune inner ear disease, lupus, and rheumatoid arthritis, can cause hearing impairment.

    If the small bones inside your ear are damaged, you could develop hearing loss. Adequate potassium levels are vital for hearing.
