Every morning I have 600ml fresh veggie juice made from carrots, celery, red capsicum, cucumber and beets (which we call beetroot), and sometimes parsley or fresh peppermint. I've been doing this for decades. I'm 68 and am totally fit and healthy, not on any medication, no arthritis, never sick, and exercise 1-2 hours every day. Thanks Dr Berg for all you do to promote healthy eating and lifestyles.
Your 68? I'm 85 and never ate a beet in my life but I will now. Like you I am totally fit with the exception of high blood pressure. I HAVE been taking cod liver oil every morning for 30 years.
5 yrs ago my weight was 220lbs. Success story, i started watching you, and exercising, today my weight is 160lbs & at 54yrs old I can run a 6:15 mile and 22 minute 5k.
This is uncanny, i was just this morning browsing the internet trying to find good info on the effects of beet on the kidneys and liver. I could not really find anything clear and concise. And bam here is Dr Berg. Crystal clear and articulate, beyond par. Thankyou Dr.
When I was receiving treatment for stage 4 cancer I craved beetroot and broccoli. Literally ate my body weight of these two vegies. This was an awareness of To listen to what your body is asking for!!
Happy Father’s Day, Dr. Berg. You have helped so many millions of people around the world, including me - I been following you since 2017 and went from nearly 400 lbs to 170. The opportunities that have opened up for me after getting healthy are indescribable. I am sure that I would not have had these opportunities, experiences or gotten healthy if not for your advice and products. You changed my life and you made it SO much better. Thank you for all you do, Dr. Berg.
Just made some pickled beets today from beets I grew in my garden. Made some fermented veggies too with my carrots. I am a diabetic but I still eat beets, peas and carrots from my garden for the health benefits. I also grow broccoli, onions, tomatoes, ground cherries, cukes, beans and peppers. Nothing better than just picked from the sweat of your own brow!
O.k. I am 70 years old and have been to see a nation wide opptician on a few occasions, no mention of food to help my vision, same as my doctor about my arthritis, but taking Dr Bergs advice both have improved tremendously
I found a way to cook beets that I love. I cut in small pieces, toss with coconut oil, nutmeg and pepper. Bake in casserole dish with parchment paper without a cover. At 350 for 35 mins. Yum!! I added butter today after they were done. They were even more delicious.
I cleared the gallstones out of my gallbladder by drinking beet-apple-carrot-ginger juice every morning on an empty stomach. Felt relief after the first day and continued for 3 weeks. Helped my digestion a great deal.
Excellent recipe this. I use it too from time to time and vary the other veggies mixed with it. I love the juice. I add greens (kale, spinach, etc) for the magnesium and cleansing effect of chlorophyll.
@@bradh6185 I made the juice fresh with a juicer. Beets are probably the hardest veggie to juice and burnt up a cheap juicer after I got my gallstones dissolved. Bought a metal Jack LaLane juicer and it has held up very well. I buy fresh beets, carrots, apples & ginger and juice them all. All of them work well together to melt gallstones. Pure beet juice even though it tastes sweet is very high in acid so you need to add the other ingredients. Drink on an empty stomach in the morning.
Dr Berg I am a whole completely new person from following your videos.I can’t be more thankful. I dropped triglycerides from 190 to 95 for example.I lost toxic weight. I don’t have a gallbladder and don’t have access to your formula because I live in a third world country so I am struggling over constipation but improving following your wisdom and knowledge.I like your videos because they are short,to the point and soothing. I love to see your handwriting on that board, it drives my attention and appreciation of your noble caring for people.
I've been doing the Liver Body Type program for over three months, using your products, and although I've seen a worsening of my symptoms, I feel that my liver is going through a long-term healing process. At 77 I have suffered my whole life from a whole range of symptoms that no one ever realized was the result of a non-alcoholic fatty liver. Now that I know what is causing these symptoms I am able to deal with them and begin to see improvements. When I first read the list of symptoms in your book on the Body Types, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had almost every one listed there! Now I am happy to say that things are beginning to get better for me. Thanks so much, Dr. Berg!
How timely ! yesterday , I bought a package of steamed organic beets I just added a cup that I diced into my homemade chicken soup thank you for the prompt.. they cooled the soup to a perfect temperature. I am glad that it will help my liver and eyes. For many years I was under height for my weight now I have a perfect ratio 🖖🖖🖖👍👍👍🥳🙋🏼♀️
Ive taken care of many elderly for years, and one thing that many healthy 90 year olds revere other than hydration is BEETS. Ive learned to love them after taking care of a 94 year old named Elsie for 7 years who told me to always eat my beets 🙂 they are one of the very few things I cannot seem to properly grow in my garden 🪴 🤷♀️
I have been using beets for years and I can personally testify, the top part (the green leafy part )of beets is full of potassium. It will help you women who are battling with cellulite also.
After watching your vids (daily), I’ve finally kicked the sugar habit & dropped 4 sizes through intermittent fasting & keto. Your info is always enlightening! Your succinct delivery (and dry wit) are a pleasure! , Thank you, sir!
I like to bake beets (the root) like a potato and then eat them skin and all. They take on a toasty sweetness that is far tastier than all other preparations. I've also tried to eat the greens (the leaves) but when I steam them they become limper than over cooked spinach. And raw they have a salty taste. So for now I'm sticking with the baked whole beets.
Dr. Berg I've been working on my liver and this came at a good time. I had forgotten about the good old beets for cleansing.... always figured they had too much sugar! I will definitely be doing that now
Life is always beautiful when you have good health, for almost 4 years I was diagnosed with, genital herpes and I was really sad about it , buy luckily for me I was addressed to a kind and great herbal doctor who helped me to restore my health back to me, he sent me the herbs that cured my hsv2 completely and the test results proves I'm now negative of the virus , all thanks to you Dr Azaka for restoring my health, I will always be greatful to you for your kind gestures DR AZAKA CURE REMEDIES on TH-cam ..
Dr. Berg I just discovered you about 2 months ago when I began my health journey to take back my life and you are very educational and I appreciate it! I'm a nurse and I have raised all my children,including my husband and have grandchildren and one day just woke up and said what about me! I appreciate you and I am benefiting from your knowledge and for that I am eternally grateful! God bless and keep you!🙏😁
Never cared for beets until I found a great recipe called ABC Salad, on YT channel Off Grid with Doug and Stacy. A-apple, B-beets, C-carrots. Dice/chop apples and beets, shred carrots. Dress with fresh lime juice, fresh ginger and I add Stevie to taste - Stacy may have added honey instead of Stevia. Took this salad to a BBQ and it was a hit!
Good Morning Dr . Breg 🎑 Happy Father's day , Thank you so very much sharing this episode with everyone , Great advice ! May God sorround you with peace and grace , May Continue to bless you all ! 🙏 6 /20 / 2021 🙏
I juice them with other veggies mostly cucumbers and lots of celery I just was always taught not to mix fruits and veggies when juicing but if it works for you then perhaps I will give it a try
@@amnahaque9058 1 beet and as much celery and cucumber as you want...beets are pretty powerful as they turn everything red...I juiced 32 oz this morning no beets but a good handful of spinach as well
I was developing sleep apnea - I was able to cure it by following your recommendations. Without your vids I may have never figured it out. Your Awesome !
Kimchi is the way to go, loaded with good stuff and fermented too. I refer to it as Korean coleslaw and whilst everything in it is raw this is amazing in a stir fry too.
I've been making pickled beetroot for many years. I boil the beets, in their skin, for about two hours. After cooking, the skin slides off under running water and it's quite theraputic too! They have to be soft as far as I'm concerned as the texture is great that way. I then bottle with sliced onion and I tell you what, they are very yummy! Your videos are very motivational btw! I have stayed on track for about three weeks and am now doing two meals a day band fasting for 19hrs. I am hoping to get to one meal a day asap but will know when it's time. I have cut out all refined carbs i.e. pasta, potatoes, rice, bread and anything with flour. My inflammation is almost a thing of the past and my energy levels have escalated. I am exercising more frequently and have ditched metforming and levothyroxin... not that my MD knows as they are too busy to fit me in with COVID still taking precedence. I am a diagnosed Type II Diabetic Thanks for you videos Doc. You've certainly helped me!
Joyce Price That's really great news, and very encouraging for the rest of us. I haven't been anywhere near a doctor for many years, and have much improved health from watching and taking on board various suggestions by Dr Berg and others. I, like many people, have the potential for T2D, but as I won't go near disease managers, I have never been tested. I have worked constantly over the last 3-4 years to reduce my insulin resistance. This is a must, especially as we age. May I ask, at what point did you decide to ditch your two drugs?
Hi Dr Berg, As you requested I share my story. Because of your videos I started if without keto. First results started to come, like getting rid of heartburn and problems with my stomach( I was never after the weight loss results because I was 1,93m and 90 kilo’s) but I realised I had a bigger problem. I had slowly been getting insulin resistant, which I noticed now because after the meals I had which were bigger in size I started getting really tired and thirsty. So I stopped eating lots of carbs. More health benefit results started: I lost 10 kilo’s which I never realised I had on. I like my body much more now, some people think I’m too thin but I don’t feel that way. I also got rid of lower back pain, had fewer heart palpitations, I felt more positive, less or no pain in the joints. I was 37 years old and felt bad about myself and my health, I am now 39 and feeling a lot better. My problem wasn’t really visible because I wasn’t overweight but I was someone that had lots of exercise. And when my sports came to a hold because of corona my old habit of eating lots of carbs stayed I started to have problems. I think I am one of fewer examples of someone not really overweight but I had messed up my body with too much carbs in all these years.
@@nancya8262 I only buy mine at Sam's club. Paisley Farms sweet pickled beets are my favorite. Be sure to read the label if you get another brand: beets, cane sugar, and vinegar.
Bought me some beets. I always like beets pickled, in salads and in the fields hunting for upland birds because the provide great cover. Beet greens are also edible both raw in salads or steamed. Thank you for all the informative videos you provide to all of us.
Beets are a year round root veg in the UK. I regularly make beetroot chips in the oven. I toss them in some avocado oil with sea salt, garlic powder, oregano and sometimes chilli powder. 180 degrees for around 25 minutes. 👌. I also do the same with butternut squash and celeriac which taste even better!
Really useful your information. I'm 56 years old and was having high blood pressure and testosterone problems. Due to fasting and selecting proper food and lifestyle make me again healthy. Thank you.
Omg perfect timing! I just bought that most beautiful organic beets yesterday and made a delicious dish, roasted beets with goat cheese and walnuts. I could have eaten it all, but was a good girl. The greens are ok raw. I just need to get used to the flavor. Thanks doc!
Well 4 months ago my blood pressure was 190 over 90. It happened in a acute stage. I thought this is it that either I am going to die or stroke. Since I followed your diet, now my blood pressure is 110 over 70. Now I have to say with great humility for saying thank you to you. Now I go to work from 6 am till 5 pm without eating because I don't fill the urge of hunger that I have to stop by Mc Donald or Burger King restaurant. No wonder fast food restaurants use very highly toxic cooking oil. May whoever read my comments and follow his keto diet recommendation is a fortune. What Dr. Eric Berg teaching is priceless.
For what I have heard from other sources it is better to juiced it than to cooked it. When I use it in my juice, the sugar in blood level does not go very high.
@@Alchemist523 If it was me I would make Beet Kavss which ferments it and changes the entire drink putting tons of friendly bacteria in your gut. 32 onces a week is all you need. Just drink plenty of water, no need to worry about kidney stones. But that's just my opinion. 😊
Beets are great when lacto-fermented. The root gets a nice tangy flavour and the leftover brine is known as kvass and is a great probiotic drink on its own. You can make several batches of kvass from the same roots.
If you bought it off Amazon it was most likely boiled and the bacteria are dead. It isn't probiotic anymore. Make your own. It really takes no skill at all. Drink as much as you like, just remember that such a live product will most likely cause some serious bowel movements if your body isn't accustomed to it :) Kvass can be made from many different things, the most popular is leftover bread. I happily drink the brine from any fermented veggies I make, I even deliberately use less salt to make it tastier.
Hi @@szkoclaw, Please can you share your recipe that you use to make the brine? I'm gonna make my own kvass. Never heard of it. But will Google. It sounds great. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Blessings!
Thank you dr. Berg. I started keto just a few days ago. I'm five-ten and weigh 230 lb and I'm 57. I've been overdrinking alcohol everyday for about 2 years. So I have decided to go on keto and stop drinking. I think the cortisol is releasing slower than I thought it would. I cannot believe how well I feel. I'm just following your instructions and making sure I understand how important this is to my family and of course to me. What really resonates with me is that you speak as though you really care and you're not doing anything for selfish reasons. Again thank you
About the oxalate, eat beets with something that is high in calcium. Then the oxalate can bind do calcium in your digestive tract and get excreted, rather than wreaking havoc inside your body.
Thank you for that information sometimes I think this guy leaves out some valuable key points. I guess he’s trying to keep his video short but he could be causing more damage. Other than milk what would you recommend? I just don’t see milk and beets going together LOL
@@dcwatashi Aren't dark leafy greens high in calcium (strange, I know)? There's a Madhur Jaffrey recipe for cooked beets and (I steam the) beet greens in a vinaigrette which I believe has a pinch of fennel and feugreek seeds (ground) -- incredibly yummy.
Dear Dr. BERG I have a long history of assaults on my body beginning with running behind DDT foggers, then having 14 teeth filled with mercury, then chewing on solder until I contacted acute lead poisoning. Lastly two years of heavy exposure to TCE trychloreethelene. Of coarse, my limbic system went crazy and then I got MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity disorder) which disabled me for over twenty years. I got some relief from DNRS (Dynamic Neural Retraining System) but still have low energy issues. Because I won a land mark case against the VA for the last two exposures I was able to buy a 63 acre farm that my wife and I love to work on, but as you can imagine, it's a load of work and I'm getting on in age (66). Three years ago the 1890 home stead burned and we're building a timber frame house to replace it. We've cut our own trees, we're milling the logs and are going to do as much of the structural work as Possible. I have converted over to your system of a healthy Keto diet. I have mixed results: fewer cravings, less hunger, but my energy levels and stamina have not improved much. I was not chelated for any heavy metals. Given my history, is there anything you could advise other than EDTA chelation? My wife and I are both grateful for all the knowledge and passion you have for helping people and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It's nice to find a doctor who knows what he's doing. Sincerely, Jim and Lisa Gabbard
all im thinking is how happy and a content human being should be Dr Berg , by reading all these gratitude comments he gets every day. I dont know where he came from but he is an angel Happiest fathers day Dr berg.. We love you so much , even my 8 year old knows who you are and ive noticed he is grasping every thing im listening from your vedios...
Hi Dr. Berg: Since finding your videos my health transformation has been amazing. I can only speak for myself by saying you’ve built a treasure trove of information. My health has benefited from intermittent fasting. My blood pressure is now in the normal range and I finally have a waistline again. I’ve regained the ability to sleep deeply again. There are so many other benefits I’ve personally enjoyed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m personally grateful.
I have just - at 62 ! - discovered the benefits, and fab taste, of Beetroot. This video really helps to identify their ‘body’ benefits, thanks very much.
Thank you for this! I never knew I liked beets until I grew up, and bought them for myself. My mom hates them. But, if I don't peel them, they have much less effect on my blood glucose level. Also, they don't stain everything. I add caraway, orange peel and a sprinkle of good salt, but the best ones are the smallest ones. Their greens are delicious, too.
Red beet soup. Cooked and shredded red beets, little bit of garlic, lemon juice, salt and ground black pepper. In Poland we add chopped red beet green leaves to the soup too. Smacznego!
@@natalia18233 Yes! We call it Chlodnik/Chill soup and it is one of a version with the beetroot and beets green leaves. All you wrote plus lemon juice and chopped red radish at my home. My fav soup for summer time 👍
@@natalia18233 And the pinky/raspberry colour of the soup is so beautiful. Chłodnik litewski/Lithuanian cold beet soup is one of the most healthy soup you can imagine, not processed, not cooked, just fresh amazing taste. Cheers.
My first experiments with Keto and Intermittent Fasting were triggered by a video that Dr. Berg did on inflammation. It started me on a path to losing 50 pounds, which was just a side effect. The real victories were regular bowel movements, loss of joint pain, sleeping through the night, and becoming hopful that I may grow old gracefully. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I’m benefiting but I have so much more to tackle. But I am extremely blessed and thankful for your help on EVERYTHING. I called in on a live Q&A a year ago and unfortunately when it was my time to ask advice there was technical issues. Nobody was able to hear me but you responded. I could tell it was a little uncomfortable for you and had to be rushed. But the advice you gave I did go with. I’m still a Dr Berg fanatic
I've been eating beets for years. Nothing but great results. I'm 53 and I feel like I'm 25!! I am not on a perfect diet and beets have got my back! Example, Donuts!!! Mmmmm. Feel the difference when working out due to the nitric oxide from beets!! Great stuff.
He never mentioned how we were to cook them for example do we steam them all or do we slice them and steam them? If I’m going to go to all this trouble I want to make sure I do it the right way
Dr. BERG, you are the very first person, that I was hooked on with the Ketogenic diet. I went from being in Bed 3-5 days a week to fully functioning, super healthy I only take One medicine (Thyroid, armour) because of have to.(no thyroid) I'm super blessed to have all your Content as well as many other Drs your my O G though. I've gone onto Graduate from ITN as a CTNC and now I am in the process of becoming a lifecoach as well and the a coach specializing in hormone balance too. I pay it forward as you do. I am 53 with 7 Kids 4 GRANDBABIES and I'm sure many more to come, that I am looking forward to being apart of their life. I lost 40 LBS (I've hada bit of a struggle with hormone balance, So I gained 20 back, not cause of the K diet but, because it Corrected my hormones so much of no longer needed certain BHRT that I was on, this threw me off along with other things I'm working through but feel I'm getting back on track) I had fibromyalgia, pmdd, Menopause problems, allergies, major migrains, acid reflux, hiatal hernia, no energy, depression (of coarse) , hypoglycemia, I couldn't get my thyroid balanced. No gall bladder. I got better through it all with the ketogenic diet Your help and many others. You were like my go to for everything. I started in 2017, still doing great! THANKYOU
I would also like to thank Dr. Berg again for all his educational information. I am three months into keto after having a high blood sugar reading and be put on metformin prematurely (after one fasting reading of about 129). My blood sugar started trending downward after one week. I quickly got onto 18/6, frequently OMAD simply due to lack of hunger or schedule. In the past week or so I have been having daytime readings in the 4.3 - 5.0 range, including after eating, and fasting readings in the 5.3-5.5 range. The last is great as dawn phenomenon had been keeping my morning fasting readings in the 6-6.5 range until recently. The growing list of related complaints and ailments that have eased or disappeared now includes snoring and sleep apnea. Family members recently told me those have disappeared. Finally, as we are traveling, I suspect that healthy keto and IM help with jet lag. We are 7 hours away from home and I adjusted much easier than usual. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks again Dr. Berg.

I don't cook beets or turnips. My favorite way esp in summer is peel, chop into pieces then run them through a small food processor then add to a salad. Uncooked they are sweet and mild. In addition, I have an awesome Wil Yeung ginger salad dressing. So delicious!
the info I have gotten from you has improved my life immensely. I watch every presentation I thank you so much. What I have gotten from you I have not gotten anywhere else. You are wonderful!
I eat beets occasionally but I've been taking quality organic beet supplements for years. It helped me with gall bladder and liver issues while I was still eating SAD.
@@vsansanv29101_sd the gallbladder had poor throughput giving me classic upper right back pain but the root cause is liver function. The beet supplements helped within a month or two. Same with stopping the supplements; it took a month or so for the back pain to return.
I’ve really missed my daily serving of beets as I thought they were not allowed on keto, but after 5 months of an average of 15 total carbs a day, this week I started eating them again. I have a new baby beets growing in the garden 😊
This was great info ! My doctor would have prescribed at least five drugs to deal with the health issues you mentioned, like hypertension. I love beets and now I know how much beets love us. Thank you and my doctor can go push drugs somewhere else. 😏
Thanks a lot Dr Berg! Watching your videos almost every day and I recently started trying the beets. 😊👌🏻 have eaten them for about 2wks now every other day or so and energy is up significantly!
I just watched your video on beets, which I know are very healthy and have known for a long time, and have only eaten them when I have gone to salad bars and gotten the sliced ones to put on the salad! Anyway, I want to buy some of the whole beats or by the nutritional beet supplement, In powder form(can’t remember the name of it)! I have been listening to so many of your videos, besides Dr. Mandrell’s, and also the two physical therapists, Bob and Brad! So I have been trying to incorporate a bunch of different things, from all three of you! And there was a doctor that I was falling before all of you… Can’t remember his name… And I think I’m still incorporating some of his knowledge! I am diabetic, but not for long, I am 72 years old almost 73. I have some congestive heart failure now. Have bad knees, especially the right knee, which is had the meniscus cleaned out twice!!! Trying to avoid the knee operation! Also have a bit of high blood pressure… Besides lots of pain that comes and goes in my lower back, besides my knees and my thighs, and my hips a bit… Also had metastatic melanoma twice, and was treated for it of course! Had a very large patch on the top of my head! Etc. Oh, about to get my cataracts operated on though. Trying to eat so much better now… Have said for years that I ate really good food and I ate junk also! Perhaps a bit more junk than the good food I think… I had been a fairly strict vegetarian for over 20 years… But you can still eat junk when you’re vegetarian! Had lived and worked at a place in Boston years ago, called Hippocrates health institute where we just ate raw foods/salads, etc.! Started by a doctor Ann Wigmore. We ate a lot of sprouts there! I got to go down and be the head of the sprout room for a little while... people would come there and go on cleanses… There was an older woman there when I was there who had cancer, and I think it was kind of a last resort for her to try and take care of the cancer naturally… I know you’re very interested in nutrition… I have been for years! Thank you for all your time and effort and expense and making these videos to educate all of us out here and help us also! You are very awesome! And so is your wife!
Hello Dr. Berg, Thank you very much for another informative video. I am following you for the last 6 months and applied the keto diet my life it helped me to reduced my edema, water-resistant, reduced depression, and significantly change my weight by doing 18 hours of fasting only I found this method by watching your videos. I applied all different methods of diet and did a lot of exercises but nothing worked but keto. Once again thank you very much for spreading the best info to this world.

The beet goes on
My goodness…beets are back and okay for keto. Happy dance!
Me too! Am happy that I can eat Beets I thought it was against keto.
Happy to hear the good news of Beetroots. I used to eat them for their iron content. Stopped eating them because of Keto.
Me too, I make pickled beets with apple cider vinegar, salt, and a pinch of stevia…addicting….
The beet greens are the best especially if you add dandelions.
They take all the swelling from my legs. No RX diuretics needed.

I found a way to cook beets that I love. I cut in small pieces, toss with coconut oil, nutmeg and pepper. Bake in casserole dish with parchment paper without a cover. At 350 for 35 mins. Yum!! I added butter today after they were done. They were even more delicious.
I cleared the gallstones out of my gallbladder by drinking beet-apple-carrot-ginger juice every morning on an empty stomach. Felt relief after the first day and continued for 3 weeks. Helped my digestion a great deal.
Excellent recipe this. I use it too from time to time and vary the other veggies mixed with it. I love the juice. I add greens (kale, spinach, etc) for the magnesium and cleansing effect of chlorophyll.
How do you make this? Are the juices available already made?
@@bradh6185 I made the juice fresh with a juicer. Beets are probably the hardest veggie to juice and burnt up a cheap juicer after I got my gallstones dissolved. Bought a metal Jack LaLane juicer and it has held up very well. I buy fresh beets, carrots, apples & ginger and juice them all. All of them work well together to melt gallstones. Pure beet juice even though it tastes sweet is very high in acid so you need to add the other ingredients. Drink on an empty stomach in the morning.
@@oklahomaisok Thank you!

Dr Berg I am a whole completely new person from following your videos.I can’t be more thankful. I dropped triglycerides from 190 to 95 for example.I lost toxic weight. I don’t have a gallbladder and don’t have access to your formula because I live in a third world country so I am struggling over constipation but improving following your wisdom and knowledge.I like your videos because they are short,to the point and soothing. I love to see your handwriting on that board, it drives my attention and appreciation of your noble caring for people.
Are beetroots juice drinking everyday advisable.Please let me know
My mother, who turned 85 today, was asking me about beets this morning. Great timing!
I'm a drummer. I'm fueled by beets :] roasted beets with red onions balsamiq blue cheese diced parsley and walnuts absolutely amazing!!!
Sounds SO GOOD
I've been doing the Liver Body Type program for over three months, using your products, and although I've seen a worsening of my symptoms, I feel that my liver is going through a long-term healing process. At 77 I have suffered my whole life from a whole range of symptoms that no one ever realized was the result of a non-alcoholic fatty liver. Now that I know what is causing these symptoms I am able to deal with them and begin to see improvements. When I first read the list of symptoms in your book on the Body Types, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I had almost every one listed there! Now I am happy to say that things are beginning to get better for me. Thanks so much, Dr. Berg!
How timely ! yesterday , I bought a package of steamed organic beets I just added a cup that I diced into my homemade chicken soup thank you for the prompt.. they cooled the soup to a perfect temperature. I am glad that it will help my liver and eyes. For many years I was under height for my weight now I have a perfect ratio 🖖🖖🖖👍👍👍🥳🙋🏼♀️
Happy Father's Day! Thank you for helping us all with our health! Health is wealth!
Ive taken care of many elderly for years, and one thing that many healthy 90 year olds revere other than hydration is BEETS. Ive learned to love them after taking care of a 94 year old named Elsie for 7 years who told me to always eat my beets 🙂 they are one of the very few things I cannot seem to properly grow in my garden 🪴 🤷♀️
I have been using beets for years and I can personally testify, the top part (the green leafy part )of beets is full of potassium. It will help you women who are battling with cellulite also.
The tops delicious with garlic and olive oil sauté, 😋 yummy!!!
The tops are lovely raw in salads.
How you take beet ? Salad or steamed ? Which one is better ?
@@ashwanisehgal6955 I prefer the tops raw and the roots steamed.
@@TheEnglishladyskitchengarden by top you mean leaves ?
After watching your vids (daily), I’ve finally kicked the sugar habit & dropped 4 sizes through intermittent fasting & keto.
Your info is always enlightening! Your succinct delivery (and dry wit) are a pleasure! , Thank you, sir!
I like to bake beets (the root) like a potato and then eat them skin and all. They take on a toasty sweetness that is far tastier than all other preparations. I've also tried to eat the greens (the leaves) but when I steam them they become limper than over cooked spinach. And raw they have a salty taste. So for now I'm sticking with the baked whole beets.
Dr. Berg I've been working on my liver and this came at a good time. I had forgotten about the good old beets for cleansing.... always figured they had too much sugar! I will definitely be doing that now
Look into NAC for your liver

So glad to here that pickled Beets make the cut as I absolutely love them and literally crave them with a little bit of blue cheese.
Never cared for beets until I found a great recipe called ABC Salad, on YT channel Off Grid with Doug and Stacy. A-apple, B-beets, C-carrots. Dice/chop apples and beets, shred carrots. Dress with fresh lime juice, fresh ginger and I add Stevie to taste - Stacy may have added honey instead of Stevia. Took this salad to a BBQ and it was a hit!
Please can you give me the link of the recipe

Sounds delicious!

My favorite way to consume beets is pickled by means of lactic-acid fermentation. Love the flavor, and now I know why they're good to eat.
I love beets. I eat them raw. They have a natural sweet to them.😋🌻 Thank you Dr, I did not know they detox the liver, so happy to know this.

I’ve been eating raw beets for years. Tasty, sweet & make me feel great
I juice it with pineapple, lemon, ginger and honey. Tastes great and makes me feel amazing.
I juice them with other veggies mostly cucumbers and lots of celery I just was always taught not to mix fruits and veggies when juicing but if it works for you then perhaps I will give it a try
@@CSEugene4 in what proportion to juice cucumber, celery and beets?
@@amnahaque9058 1 beet and as much celery and cucumber as you want...beets are pretty powerful as they turn everything red...I juiced 32 oz this morning no beets but a good handful of spinach as well
My jack lalane juicer went dead so bot me one of those solo star juicers with the auger
@@CSEugene4 I definitely can’t mixed fruits and veggies
I was developing sleep apnea - I was able to cure it by following your recommendations. Without your vids I may have never figured it out. Your Awesome !
Kimchi is the way to go, loaded with good stuff and fermented too. I refer to it as Korean coleslaw and whilst everything in it is raw this is amazing in a stir fry too.
I do Agree with you my Amazing Dr! I'm 49yrs old but I looks 35 yrs.. I've been drinking beet for 7yrs ! Consistently, every single day!
I've been making pickled beetroot for many years. I boil the beets, in their skin, for about two hours. After cooking, the skin slides off under running water and it's quite theraputic too! They have to be soft as far as I'm concerned as the texture is great that way. I then bottle with sliced onion and I tell you what, they are very yummy! Your videos are very motivational btw! I have stayed on track for about three weeks and am now doing two meals a day band fasting for 19hrs. I am hoping to get to one meal a day asap but will know when it's time. I have cut out all refined carbs i.e. pasta, potatoes, rice, bread and anything with flour. My inflammation is almost a thing of the past and my energy levels have escalated. I am exercising more frequently and have ditched metforming and levothyroxin... not that my MD knows as they are too busy to fit me in with COVID still taking precedence. I am a diagnosed Type II Diabetic
Thanks for you videos Doc. You've certainly helped me!
Joyce Price That's really great news, and very encouraging for the rest of us. I haven't been anywhere near a doctor for many years, and have much improved health from watching and taking on board various suggestions by Dr Berg and others. I, like many people, have the potential for T2D, but as I won't go near disease managers, I have never been tested. I have worked constantly over the last 3-4 years to reduce my insulin resistance. This is a must, especially as we age. May I ask, at what point did you decide to ditch your two drugs?
Kindly give recipee for pickled beets
Cooked for two hours ?? What nutrients remained?
@@shardajadhav5906 I know that’s what I was wondering? When you boil any vegetable the nutrients end up in the water
@@shardajadhav5906 never you worry about my nutritional diet. But thank you for reading!
Hi Dr Berg,
As you requested I share my story. Because of your videos I started if without keto. First results started to come, like getting rid of heartburn and problems with my stomach( I was never after the weight loss results because I was 1,93m and 90 kilo’s) but I realised I had a bigger problem. I had slowly been getting insulin resistant, which I noticed now because after the meals I had which were bigger in size I started getting really tired and thirsty. So I stopped eating lots of carbs. More health benefit results started: I lost 10 kilo’s which I never realised I had on. I like my body much more now, some people think I’m too thin but I don’t feel that way. I also got rid of lower back pain, had fewer heart palpitations, I felt more positive, less or no pain in the joints. I was 37 years old and felt bad about myself and my health, I am now 39 and feeling a lot better. My problem wasn’t really visible because I wasn’t overweight but I was someone that had lots of exercise. And when my sports came to a hold because of corona my old habit of eating lots of carbs stayed I started to have problems. I think I am one of fewer examples of someone not really overweight but I had messed up my body with too much carbs in all these years.
I love pickled beets, and go through a jar every week.
can you recommend a brand, type or any info so I can find some to try? Thanks
@@nancya8262 I only buy mine at Sam's club. Paisley Farms sweet pickled beets are my favorite. Be sure to read the label if you get another brand: beets, cane sugar, and vinegar.
Me too along with a jar if pickled gherkins. Both Aldi's finest.
Just started this year with beets. With your help Doc, now I feel even better with the additional and beneficial informtion.
Bought me some beets. I always like beets pickled, in salads and in the fields hunting for upland birds because the provide great cover. Beet greens are also edible both raw in salads or steamed. Thank you for all the informative videos you provide to all of us.
Beets are a year round root veg in the UK. I regularly make beetroot chips in the oven. I toss them in some avocado oil with sea salt, garlic powder, oregano and sometimes chilli powder. 180 degrees for around 25 minutes. 👌. I also do the same with butternut squash and celeriac which taste even better!

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 just talking about beets this morning and when to plant them! 🌱
Really useful your information. I'm 56 years old and was having high blood pressure and testosterone problems. Due to fasting and selecting proper food and lifestyle make me again healthy. Thank you.
Omg perfect timing! I just bought that most beautiful organic beets yesterday and made a delicious dish, roasted beets with goat cheese and walnuts. I could have eaten it all, but was a good girl. The greens are ok raw. I just need to get used to the flavor. Thanks doc!
Well 4 months ago my blood pressure was 190 over 90. It happened in a acute stage. I thought this is it that either I am going to die or stroke. Since I followed your diet, now my blood pressure is 110 over 70. Now I have to say with great humility for saying thank you to you. Now I go to work from 6 am till 5 pm without eating because I don't fill the urge of hunger that I have to stop by Mc Donald or Burger King restaurant. No wonder fast food restaurants use very highly toxic cooking oil. May whoever read my comments and follow his keto diet recommendation is a fortune. What Dr. Eric Berg teaching is priceless.
I juice beetroot,carrots, pineapple, tomatoes, cucumber and lemon.Drink it every morning on empty stomach.I felt so energized..
Sounds great. Could you give approximate amounts you use, please? And raw carrots or previously cooked? Thank you 😊
Juiced without fiber are high carb
But he specifically said not to juice the beets
@@dcwatashi ups, I think I missed that. Will watch again. Thanks!
Excellent! I stopped eating it years ago just because I was told of the sugar/carbs in them, But now I will start eating it again. Thank you!!
To "modern eaters" it probably sounds like a weird food, but trust me, pickled beets are so good!
Yes they are, and I crave them with a little bit of blue cheese or blue cheese dressing.
YES! I make mine with apple cider vinegar, salt and stevia
Thank you Doc, I didn't know that cooked beets were okay to stay in ketosis. Great advice. ❤
For what I have heard from other sources it is better to juiced it than to cooked it. When I use it in my juice, the sugar in blood level does not go very high.

But it says beetjuice causes kidney stones 😥
@@Alchemist523 If it was me I would make Beet Kavss which ferments it and changes the entire drink putting tons of friendly bacteria in your gut. 32 onces a week is all you need. Just drink plenty of water, no need to worry about kidney stones. But that's just my opinion. 😊
Beets are great when lacto-fermented. The root gets a nice tangy flavour and the leftover brine is known as kvass and is a great probiotic drink on its own. You can make several batches of kvass from the same roots.
I heard about kvass but didn't know it was the brine from fermented beets. Now I want to try plant some beets and make kvass for myself :)
I just bought some beet kvass on Amazon ! how much should we drink each day ?
If you bought it off Amazon it was most likely boiled and the bacteria are dead. It isn't probiotic anymore.
Make your own. It really takes no skill at all. Drink as much as you like, just remember that such a live product will most likely cause some serious bowel movements if your body isn't accustomed to it :)
Kvass can be made from many different things, the most popular is leftover bread. I happily drink the brine from any fermented veggies I make, I even deliberately use less salt to make it tastier.
How do you make the kvass?
Hi @@szkoclaw,
Please can you share your recipe that you use to make the brine?
I'm gonna make my own kvass. Never heard of it. But will Google. It sounds great. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Blessings!
Thank you dr. Berg. I started keto just a few days ago. I'm five-ten and weigh 230 lb and I'm 57. I've been overdrinking alcohol everyday for about 2 years. So I have decided to go on keto and stop drinking. I think the cortisol is releasing slower than I thought it would. I cannot believe how well I feel. I'm just following your instructions and making sure I understand how important this is to my family and of course to me. What really resonates with me is that you speak as though you really care and you're not doing anything for selfish reasons. Again thank you
About the oxalate, eat beets with something that is high in calcium. Then the oxalate can bind do calcium in your digestive tract and get excreted, rather than wreaking havoc inside your body.
Thank you for that information sometimes I think this guy leaves out some valuable key points. I guess he’s trying to keep his video short but he could be causing more damage. Other than milk what would you recommend? I just don’t see milk and beets going together LOL
@@dcwatashi Aren't dark leafy greens high in calcium (strange, I know)? There's a Madhur Jaffrey recipe for cooked beets and (I steam the) beet greens in a vinaigrette which I believe has a pinch of fennel and feugreek seeds (ground) -- incredibly yummy.
@@fierywomanpacnw7004 OK well I will just have the beets added to my salad which is what I like anyway. So Pacific Northwest eh?
@@dcwatashi You could always add some cheese, e.g. there are recipes with goat cheese.

Dear Dr. BERG I have a long history of assaults on my body beginning with running behind DDT foggers, then having 14 teeth filled with mercury, then chewing on solder until I contacted acute lead poisoning. Lastly two years of heavy exposure to TCE trychloreethelene. Of coarse, my limbic system went crazy and then I got MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity disorder) which disabled me for over twenty years. I got some relief from DNRS (Dynamic Neural Retraining System) but still have low energy issues. Because I won a land mark case against the VA for the last two exposures I was able to buy a 63 acre farm that my wife and I love to work on, but as you can imagine, it's a load of work and I'm getting on in age (66). Three years ago the 1890 home stead burned and we're building a timber frame house to replace it. We've cut our own trees, we're milling the logs and are going to do as much of the structural work as Possible. I have converted over to your system of a healthy Keto diet. I have mixed results: fewer cravings, less hunger, but my energy levels and stamina have not improved much. I was not chelated for any heavy metals. Given my history, is there anything you could advise other than EDTA chelation? My wife and I are both grateful for all the knowledge and passion you have for helping people and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It's nice to find a doctor who knows what he's doing.
Sincerely, Jim and Lisa Gabbard

Thank you for this! I never knew I liked beets until I grew up, and bought them for myself. My mom hates them. But, if I don't peel them, they have much less effect on my blood glucose level. Also, they don't stain everything. I add caraway, orange peel and a sprinkle of good salt, but the best ones are the smallest ones. Their greens are delicious, too.
Red beet soup. Cooked and shredded red beets, little bit of garlic, lemon juice, salt and ground black pepper. In Poland we add chopped red beet green leaves to the soup too. Smacznego!
In Lithuania no garlic, no pepper. Garnish with sour cream or Greek yogurt chopped egg, dill, cucumber, green onion. Serve cold.

My first experiments with Keto and Intermittent Fasting were triggered by a video that Dr. Berg did on inflammation. It started me on a path to losing 50 pounds, which was just a side effect. The real victories were regular bowel movements, loss of joint pain, sleeping through the night, and becoming hopful that I may grow old gracefully.
Thank you Dr. Berg.
I’m benefiting but I have so much more to tackle. But I am extremely blessed and thankful for your help on EVERYTHING.
I called in on a live Q&A a year ago and unfortunately when it was my time to ask advice there was technical issues. Nobody was able to hear me but you responded. I could tell it was a little uncomfortable for you and had to be rushed. But the advice you gave I did go with. I’m still a Dr Berg fanatic

I lost 40 LBS (I've hada bit of a struggle with hormone balance, So I gained 20 back, not cause of the K diet but, because it Corrected my hormones so much of no longer needed certain BHRT that I was on, this threw me off along with other things I'm working through but feel I'm getting back on track)
I had fibromyalgia, pmdd, Menopause problems, allergies, major migrains, acid reflux, hiatal hernia, no energy, depression (of coarse) , hypoglycemia, I couldn't get my thyroid balanced.

Thank you for the support!
I would also like to thank Dr. Berg again for all his educational information. I am three months into keto after having a high blood sugar reading and be put on metformin prematurely (after one fasting reading of about 129). My blood sugar started trending downward after one week. I quickly got onto 18/6, frequently OMAD simply due to lack of hunger or schedule. In the past week or so I have been having daytime readings in the 4.3 - 5.0 range, including after eating, and fasting readings in the 5.3-5.5 range. The last is great as dawn phenomenon had been keeping my morning fasting readings in the 6-6.5 range until recently. The growing list of related complaints and ailments that have eased or disappeared now includes snoring and sleep apnea. Family members recently told me those have disappeared. Finally, as we are traveling, I suspect that healthy keto and IM help with jet lag. We are 7 hours away from home and I adjusted much easier than usual. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks again Dr. Berg.

Love beet.
I always boil them with skin (after washing). Then peel the skin n slice n put in salad plate with other salads.
Always steam beets, to get the best from them.
@Inese M good to know - I’ve always avoided them because as a child they tasted odd to me
I just watched your video on beets, which I know are very healthy and have known for a long time, and have only eaten them when I have gone to salad bars and gotten the sliced ones to put on the salad! Anyway, I want to buy some of the whole beats or by the nutritional beet supplement, In powder form(can’t remember the name of it)! I have been listening to so many of your videos, besides Dr. Mandrell’s, and also the two physical therapists, Bob and Brad! So I have been trying to incorporate a bunch of different things, from all three of you! And there was a doctor that I was falling before all of you… Can’t remember his name… And I think I’m still incorporating some of his knowledge! I am diabetic, but not for long, I am 72 years old almost 73. I have some congestive heart failure now. Have bad knees, especially the right knee, which is had the meniscus cleaned out twice!!! Trying to avoid the knee operation! Also have a bit of high blood pressure… Besides lots of pain that comes and goes in my lower back, besides my knees and my thighs, and my hips a bit… Also had metastatic melanoma twice, and was treated for it of course! Had a very large patch on the top of my head! Etc. Oh, about to get my cataracts operated on though. Trying to eat so much better now… Have said for years that I ate really good food and I ate junk also! Perhaps a bit more junk than the good food I think… I had been a fairly strict vegetarian for over 20 years… But you can still eat junk when you’re vegetarian! Had lived and worked at a place in Boston years ago, called Hippocrates health institute where we just ate raw foods/salads, etc.! Started by a doctor Ann Wigmore. We ate a lot of sprouts there! I got to go down and be the head of the sprout room for a little while... people would come there and go on cleanses… There was an older woman there when I was there who had cancer, and I think it was kind of a last resort for her to try and take care of the cancer naturally… I know you’re very interested in nutrition… I have been for years! Thank you for all your time and effort and expense and making these videos to educate all of us out here and help us also! You are very awesome! And so is your wife!
Excellent & informative stuff as usual
Hello Dr. Berg, Thank you very much for another informative video. I am following you for the last 6 months and applied the keto diet my life it helped me to reduced my edema, water-resistant, reduced depression, and significantly change my weight by doing 18 hours of fasting only I found this method by watching your videos. I applied all different methods of diet and did a lot of exercises but nothing worked but keto. Once again thank you very much for spreading the best info to this world.
Used to love pickled beets as a kid!
I so 💖 beets. Leaves and roots.
