Let’s talk about dopamine.
Dopamine has many functions. It’s involved in body movement, sleep cycles, gastrointestinal motility, food intake, learning, kidney function, and blood pressure.
Dopamine is associated with behaviors and certain emotions. However, people on the lower end of the emotional scale aren't going to just have low dopamine but also other neurotransmitters and hormones. Dopamine is increased with pleasure, but it’s also increased with stress and pain.
Conditions related to low dopamine include:
• Parkinson’s
• Schizophrenia
• ADD or ADHD
• Depression
Medications used to treat the above conditions can deplete other neurotransmitters and have potential side effects.
Dopamine isn’t a single molecule that works on its own to create an effect. It’s a system that creates many different effects. Trying to increase dopamine without looking at the bigger picture isn’t going to work.
Here are some action steps you can take if you have low dopamine:
1. Get rid of artificial stimulus
2. Balance dopamine and other neurotransmitters
3. Consume a little more animal protein and fat
4. Support your gut microbiome
5. Get plenty of vitamin C (leafy greens or sauerkraut)
6. Get plenty of copper (shellfish or seafood)
Tips to help balance dopamine and other neurotransmitters naturally:
• Exercise consistently
• Get outside
• Get plenty of sun or vitamin D3
• Involve yourself in music or the arts
• Do things you like
• Get connected with other people
• Get plenty of tyrosine (consume high-quality animal protein)

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand dopamine. I’ll see you in the next video.
Dude you are a godamn genius , i dont think you understand how i love you.
You saved my body you superhero i been doin all your teachings and i look so good IT does not make sense.
Your character evolution is out of this world.
Thank you for your comment. Glad I was able to help you.
I love how tenacious Dr Berg is with his research, and what a great communicator he is. This is SO useful. 11M subscribers now 🙂
How wonderful is this guy. Hey Dr. Berg, you’re the real hero. Thanks buddy.
Thank you very much. Glad to help you all. Have a nice day!
In 2003 my mentor asked me a question. "Do we eat to live or live to eat?" Said it all. Throughout the years, I tried to pass this message on to clients.Thank You once again Dr.Berg for being. You are greatly apppreciated
It’s like asking do we work to live or live to work.
The thing is, life is work
@@StrongBodyandMind33 Except, my clients were chronic disease sufferers with conditions exacurbated through bad food choices. Work? That's another story. Namaste 🙏
@@StrongBodyandMind33 depends on your definition of work, and how you choose to live
Thanks for acknowledging the complexity of this topic. There are so many things floating out there about dopamine.
Great video! there's been a lot of noise around the 'dopamine detox' and this is a nice balanced take. It's important to nourish your dopamine as it helps increase your motivation and emotional well-being.
Great information.
So encouraging to hear the complex ambiguity of the body in relation to health expressed so well.
Thank you. Glad you like the information shared here.
Great information.
Aside from diet modifications, the best thing I’ve done to help my brain and sleep health is staying off my phone. After dinner, I now play guitar and then listen to calm music and read spiritual books.
Going back to all the old ways…is the way.
Thanks for sharing this 😃👍
Peace love and blessings!
Good for you! I will try this. Struggling with insomnia for years. Need to give up the phone
Same here
Bloody phone keeps me awake at night
@@Arrasel Get RLCD screen like Sun vision display instead. It is expensive, but it is absolutely worth it as it has no backlight. LCD screens have backlight (this includes many phones, monitors, essentially all modern devices) and are a light source which means they burn your retina, cause blue light overdose, hyperactivity and other ADHD-like symptoms.
Eink would also be good, but if you want to have all regular things like an Android or Windows operating system then you like can't use it. Also refresh rate is horrible on them.
@MrX-vk1jl oh my goodness! The light burns our retina?
You scared the hack outta me!
Indeed, I am a bit hyperactive because I spend too much time using the phone, that is my fault.
I'll look for the RLCD screen, many thanks for the info
@@Arrasel No problem, there is also RLCD tablet although I'm not sure how good it is. Looking at the sun causes irreversible damage to your eyes. Light bulbs are also a light source and cause a lot of discomfort because they act like a sun too. If you use devices for short periods then nothing bad should happen, but if you stare all day damage accumulates.
I’m ADHD this gave me so much insite. Thank You!!❤️

Congratulations 11 millions subscribe dr Berg. Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Fantastic information
As always, very informative and easy to understand, thanks doc 🙏🏻
Much needed for many at this time. ON POINT.
Thank You Dr. Berg. Especially the Dopamine Detox section. By far the best EXPLANATION in TH-cam.
General practitioners can prescribe SSRI meds without a referral from a specialist. Combine that with a lack of dietary advice and the results can be devastating. Adopting healthy keto and intermittent fasting has done more for me in 18 months than 6 years of SSRI therapy. A literal night vs day difference! SSRI’s are one of the most prescribed meds in the US and diet is the most ignored.
Fasting is such an underrated therapy
I'm someone that has consumed many different drugs in my time and also have an adrenaline dump enjoyment. I practice many "extreme" sports and activities to get this. My whole life I have had a thing for jumping from high places, be it bridges, cliffs, planes, whatever it's just my natural jam.
The feeling of a buzz when delivered naturally is superior to any drug but it is short lived. The consumption of actual drugs can give a similar and prolonged felling but there is a but. I personally moved away from "party" drugs as they are clearly destructive. I now only smoke weed, take a high dose mushroom trip once a year, and spend a lot of time in the wilderness to keep myself in check and make myself feel good... Life is what you make of it, try to enjoy it any way you can! 🙂
The timing of this post is absolutely amazing in terms of my life journey. Thank you very much for this information.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for researching all of this and bringing us this incredible information!
Dr.Berg, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us and for your help! You are a very wise man and doctor. Your patients are very lucky to have such a doctor!
Thank you so much for all your hard work, effort, time, care, studying, and output of knowledge. ❤️
Ment to say this yesterday, this is a fantastic video. Another great video and good insight into things. I appreciate that he spent time talking about the unhealthy habits that we do sometimes that a lot of doctors don't always talk about.
Thank you very much. Hope you are still learning a lot here. Stay safe and healthy!
Mind blowing, no pun intended. Dr Berg, this is life changing. I'm amazed how consistently rapt I am from your videos. Sincere thanks for your willingness to share your knowledge & experience.
Excellent information, as always you communicate so brilliantly.
I think I needed to hear this as I've been having some crazy bad hormone issues and it could be some of these habits that seem harmless but are perhaps wearing us out too fast.
Dr Berg, you are truly the best: A real blessing to humanity.
Thank you very much 🙏
ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS DR BERG!!! ❤❤❤
Very much appreciated!
Without knowing all this I started to take a lot of Vit D3 and B1 , eating healthy keto and IF and got rid of all these dopamine regulating medication and lost 45 kilo. Thank you Dr Berg
In how many days?

My favorite topic. Thank you, Dear Dr. Berg.
Great. Glad you like the topic. Thanks for watching!
Fabulous knowledge. Thank you for helping so many.
Glad to help.
Dr Berg! Ive been battling restless leg syndrome for the past 4 ish years, it's been getting better but about a year ago I made the connection that mine was caused from dopamine issues. I've been taking supplements for dopamine health and it's taken a few months of taking the supplements but I almost never get it anymore, and although I was happy before there's a new feeling of peace in my life. I now take vitamins A,B,C,D,K, zinc, magnesium, and p3-om pro biotic, focus on good sleep, and (only because it's relevant) stopped watching pornography. It definitely took a significant amount of time to notice any difference, but so happy I stayed with it.
God bless you for resisting pornography temptation.
It's a hard battle but God is your side.
Amazing testimony! “Physician! Heal thyself!”
Love your work dr berg!
Can you please do a video on how the body responds to the keto diet and the gut bacteria that develops to only to process fats over prolonged keto diet.
Thanks in advance
Rise and walk ❤ watch the sunrise❤ skip and swing❤ walk the dog ❤ that was my morning :) feeling fabulous 😊
For schizophrenia, I was recently reading some research papers that suggested brain inflammation is the root cause of the alterations in the neurotransmitter balance.
I haven’t heard that one, but that does make sense. My Mom and Brother both have bad cases of it and neither has held a job or driven a car since their early 20’s because they just can’t handle that much change and interaction with the outside world. The both grew up normal smart people but hade a break and like a switch, that was it. My brother had his break after taking a large dose of “acid”. I think in both their cases they had mental issues and drugs put them over the edge to insanity. I’m 40 and so far, no such issues but I never did those drugs.
@@mylesgray3470did they both get schizophrenia from using drugs? So sorry to hear that, I have a relative having schizophrenia and it’s such a nightmare for him
@@Emiliah1996 My brother did 100% get schizophrenia from drug use. He took a lot of LSD one night and that was it. My Mom was also a drug user but l ant link it with 100% certainly in her case but I do believe it was drugs. That’s what is really tragic about this whole trend of accepting recreational drug use. One bad night can be the end of your life, or the end of your life as a productive happy person.
Thank you for this message, it's right on time! I'm in the process of manifesting something huge and I need to work on my neuroplasticity as a whole. This helps me in ways you can't imagine!☺️☺️
Please elaborate!!
Not only do we seek to know more but also offer our collective vibrations to your cause.
@@SpamMouse awe, how kind are you all. I’m in the process of manifesting a total shift of now reality, new home/neighborhood, new career, new life path. I’ve been working on my “happy brain” having recently heard a speaker insist the organs in our body reflect our dominant feelings, so when we “leave here” our organs, brain for example can tell a physician a lot about our over all state of lifestyle, I’ve been shifting to a happy brain believing my happy brainwaves will trigger what I believe and draw into my life the things I seek. Raising dopamine is essential and now I hope it’s understood how the universe brought this fantastic message right to me.
@@wattsroit More power to your goals, anyone reading your words even in some small way will be supporting your quest. 👍
@@SpamMouse and I thank you for the support!!
My favorite video of yours so far
Really appreciated!
Fascinating information as always. Thank you ❤
Most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
First, thanks again, Dr. Berg! ❤ You teach us how to deal with emotionally unstable, hormonally imbalanced- "food addicts" who SEEM to be hell-bent on making us happy-gut people miserable. MUCH RESPECT, SIR! 🤘
No problem. Happy to help you all. Take care!
Dear Dr Berg I must counter one very important point of information in this otherwise fantastic video. At 2:25 the short video-clip of a young man sitting contemplating his laptop computer is not entirely representative of "stimulus of pornography", I respectfully suggest his hand movements suggest he is watching Nuclear Power Plant owner Mr Burns in The Simpsons and not adult human interest stories involving a surprised plumber.
Great video. I was waiting for you to talk a little about certain toxins that make it difficult to recover and feel better.
Glad you like the video. Thanks for watching!
Love this video I thought of this intuitively and feel it makes sense in general. To isolate one singular molecule and ignore life and the rest of other things in background is just not getting to root of it and life doesn’t work like that
"all I know is that I know nothing" -Socrates. Dr. Berg, you are awesome!
My father has parkinsons disease and this video will help him. THANK YOU DR BERG ❤
You're most welcome!
Thanks for the useful information
Glad you found the information so helpful!
Hi good day Dr Berg! my Dad suffers from Parkinsons but he has a allergic reaction to the prescribed Levodopa. Is there any good alternatives or natural remedy for this? thanks!!
Fantastic info doc
The problem is not the problem the reaction to the problem is the problem.. sometimes there just is not a substitute for what has been removed .
I've seen alot of videos lately about No Fap and all the benefits of it as it's related to dopamine levels, I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts about it, Dr. Berg. As you have no videos on it from what I can see. Just when educating myself, I'd prefer to hear your point of view on it than others.
That’s exactly what I want to hear
When I do it I just end up chasing tail
I'll get laid within 40 days, but at what cost..?
That's what I was going to write
Fapping to pixels on a screen on a daily is toxic for your reward system.
Thank you Dr Berg! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
No problem. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.
Hey Dr berg I an a huge fan you changed my life especially after my psilocybin experience. I think you should do research. It changed my life. Then came you. Thank you.
Thank you Dr Burg !
No problem. Have a nice day!
Thanks for sharing. This is really teaching
We deeply appreciate your feedback!

one of the stimulus to get rid of is Coffe
not a clear subject finally made clear. very nice.
Mahalo from Hawaii, Dr. Berg.
Thank you so much 🙏👏😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰
Most welcome!
No offense intended at all.. but it's incredible that this channel is so big. You'd think there'd be a lot of good information out there but there really isn't. I wish more 'professionals' would take risks and speak truth. I continue to get the best out of myself from your channel. Much love! Online has so far been the only place I can find real explanations that lead to life altering results. We need more do-gooders. Lifestyle changes will make you a good thinker.
It's silly to become aware of the fact that many of the people in our medical industry are actually unhealthy people themselves.
Cheers, mate!
Cheers!
ssri for serotonin is a problem too. a real danger for brain
Yet because I’m Neurodiverse have both ASD and ADHD I was shoved in SSRIS over 20 years ago against my will and can’t get off them
Agreed! I had serious brain zaps when I weaned myself off - that to me shouts AVOID at all cost in future
Preach it, Dr. Berg! It’s like swimming upstream against the current. Appreciate you!
🙏🏽✝️❤️🩹👣🌄
Thank you. Appreciate your comment. Have a nice day!

You are so welcome!
excellent! excellent! excellent!

Thanks dr berg ❤❤❤❤
No problem. Happy to share this info.
I am on anti psycotic medication. One of the benefits of the medication is that it prefents a relapse. But the big side effect is not having motivation. being slower cognitive. When I was on a even higher doses on this its almost hell
Very interesting. Thank you for touching upon the subject of Dopamine.
Speaking of copper; I am taking a product called Aussie Trace Minerals. I am sure there is copper in this product, as well as many other trace minerals that have no known function in the body. It is highly concentrated, ionized seawater. Very pure.
Dr. Berg, could you do a video on cool sculpting? Thanks!
I was on so many meds, I had drug induced Parkinsons
You are the best❤
Thank you for your kind response.
Awesome video
Thanks for watching!
Would’ve liked to hear your thoughts on nootropics like mucuna pruriens. It sometimes helps me with mood when I am feeling down and I believe it works primarily by stimulating dopamine production.
I wanted to buy it too.
Love you DOC!!!
Thank you. Appreciate your love and support. Stay safe!
Sir! Please make a video on cupping therapy
Good Morning, this is different from the topic but I have been doing the 24 hours fasting lately for weightloss and I end up having heartburn and have to break my fast with some almond milk. My question to you is, can it be prevented or treated without breaking the fast?
This summer in south Texas would make it hard to get outside.
Dr berg whats your thoughts on nootropics ? Such as alpha gpc ?
ADHD is real I have suffered from it since I was a kid . Since I finally got medicine again it has change my life for the better so much . My thoughts have been less scattered and I can focus on mundane tasks . People who say ADHD isn't real most likely doesn't have it so they have a hard time understanding it .
totally agree
Well it is a condition, that doesn't mean by labelling they truly understand it. Also drugs are never a good long term plan, take it from someone who's taken many 😂 including prescription. They are very good at dealing with short term problems when needed like with surgery, with fairly smallish negative effects. But long term the negative effects will also build up higher and the positives will always diminish. That's not to say in the end they do nothing but I've yet to ever experience or see any drug that provided a better outcomes in the long run. It might take a year or even two or three, but eventually their just getting you close to back to normal and the other half the time your worse off than before.
@@Larimuss I have delt with ADHD for decades so I have a lot of experience to .
I agree

Dear @Dr. Eric Berg DC... could you please make a video on Gilbert syndrome and what to eat to put on weight when having it? thank you :)))
thank you dr.. There is research that indicates that taking a tyrosine supplement depletes serotonin. What is the solution to balance serotonin and dopamine?
Dopamine detox usually means to stop doing bad or obsessive habits for a day or so. Of course if you start back up again you really didn't do much.
Dr berg any articles on this ?
for dopamine production, we need to make our bodies convert the amino acid tyrosine (easily found in protien rich foods) to L-dopa which is the direct precursor of dopamine. the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to L-dopa is tyrosine hydroxylase. for that enzyme to do its job, we require iron. iron deficency can cause a lack of dopamine. iron from meat or eggs absorbs better than vegan sources. once tyrosine has been converted to L-dopa, the enzyme called aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase is required to convert it directly into dopamine. that enzyme depends on vitamin b6 to catalyze the conversion. getting enough of both iron and vitamin b6 helps us produce other neurotransmitters too. vitamin b6 and iron are required for serotonin, and norephinephrine production as well. vitamin b6 also is good for increasing GABA levels which helps with sleep and anxiety issues
Great video! 👍🙂
Glad you liked it!
