I hope you found my video on Berberine and weight loss helpful! Don't forget your Free Functional Trio Checklist: www.drkateld.com/free-fat-loss-user-guide-signup
I get the page to add my name and email and then it will not go beyond that... tried four or five different times. Would really like the fat loss user guide!
Perhaps try on a different device? It all seems to be working on my end 🤷🏼♀️
I'm taking 1500 mg daily of Berberine that my pharmacist orders for me.
Love the videos but I’m also not able to get the guide despite multiple attempts
@@lisagray1030 Sorry about that! Sometimes the emails end up in your spam folder, so maybe check there. If you still can't find it, shoot me an email directly at drkate@drkateld.com, and I'll send you a copy of the guide!
Just recently tried it and I can say that it curbs the hell outta my cravings and appetite!
Hooray!
Yes it does.

Hi, could you please tell me what brand you are taking as well as the dose. Thank you
My medical doctor here in Canada refused to talk about Berberine. He would rather have me take a chemical than a natural supplement. I was on Ozempic for 9 months until I told my doctor I wasn't going to to take it anymore. I regained half the weight and my blood sugar skyrocketed. Now I'm on the carnivore diet, have lost 10 pounds in a week and my blood sugar is at 5.0. Goes to show you that you really need to be your own health advocate. I'm still on metformin but I'm going to ditch that as well once I go for my check up and start back on Berberine.
Sorry you had to go through this! Glad to hear you're on the right track and feeling better!
Ginger and ceylon cinnamon are amazing for lowering blood sugars. Ginger is my favourite tho coz l can handle the taste
Yeah Ceylon isn't as good as other cinnamon
I’m also going on the carnivore diet soon, and I’ll be using the Berberine. I’m also going to be using caster oil for other things related to my health. I’m really in a bad way and need to make changes, the crap they’re putting in our food is literally hurting us 😢
@jean Well done! 🎉
Ive been taking berberine for the last 2 months,i had a complete metabolic blood panel done,in march,my results came back & everything was perfect & i also lost 12lbs.I get mine from my local Wal-Mart. Yes it works,while being in a calorie deficit..I'm 4 years post menopausal...
So glad to hear it's working for you!
How do you take it? How much do you take?
Which one do you use please?
What brand do you use? We are taking Force Factor ultra Berberine.
Which brand do you use from Walmart? I purchased NOW with MTC oil but have been hearing a lot about dihydroberberine (or something similar); I’ve read it absorbs better but not sure. Want to make sure I get the best form in order to combat insulin resistance that started after gallbladder & thyroid removal. Congratulations on your great health improvements & thanks in advance for your brand/form of berberine.🤩
I started berberine 3 months ago...i have blood sugar highs etc..heard it may help with weight.. have had no side effects, less of an appetite idk about weight but my clothes are a bit looser...i seem to be less moody... that's a big one.. i added other minerals and some vitamins i am depleted in. And 3 days ago am adding in coconut oil pills and fish oil pills ..i am trying to help blood sugar, drop weight and possibly help my bipolar 2 ....... feel better i must say
Glad to hear you're noticing some positive changes! Keep it up!
What brand are you using? Because others are not saying they just say how.great it helped them. Make us believe in it please
What brand are you using?
@@nowisconvenientOr their responses are getting deleted so you but hers 🤷♀️
@tiawarren5403, people are wanting to know what brand of Berberine you're taking. Please respond. Thank you
My dad told me about berberine and how it helps his diabetes. I was curious on what it was and researched it. I learned that I was prediabetic and I knew i needed to lose a significant amount of weight. Its been about two weeks since ive been taking it. I definitely dont feel as hungry. First week i did get indigestion, bloating and a little bit of nausea but now they are all gone. Thank you for this information
Glad you found the video helpful - thanks for watching!
I turned 58 and my body went wacky and I gained 50 pounds in one year, and I had changed NOTHING of my good organic foods, and exercise that worked for 20 years. Then all these issues surfaced at 59 to 61. I went Keto in 2018 as soon as I gained the weight, and it wasn't enough but a good practice, got me off the small amount of snacking I did. Then I had to go Ketovore because I wasn't losing weight and then a year ago went CARNIVORE. Carnivore HEALED ALL CRAVINGS, its amazing In these few years, i had high blood pressure as soon as my weight increased, I have insulin resistance and some breast issues, all in four years. I have been healing my other three bodies since the late 80s and started on my last and 4th body (the physical) in 2018. Now i am on the other side of TOTAL ENERGY LOSS 3 years ago... carnivore is working, and last month I started taking a half a pill of Berberine, until i can get down in my weight a bit more to get off my Blood Pressure medications (I am on the lowest dose). I have hope this year after losing 40 pounds with carnivore.
Glad you're feeling better!
Could you tell me more please about your carnivore diet? What does it include and what's banned? 🙏
@@DrKateLyzengaDean can you take Berberine if your on warfarin?
Good Afternoon dr cate !!! Thx so much 😂😂🎉😂😂for
Just subscribed. My dr told me I have metabolic syndrome and subscribed wegovie. Not taking it but started with Berberine. My second day and so far so good regarding stomach issues. I have all the mid age cursors, mid section weigh gain, disturb sleep, brain fog, fatigue, always hungry and stress. Praying this work in addition to my continuous exercise and whole food diet.
A comprehensive approach is best! Feel free to reach out if you have questions or would like more support - happy to point you in the right direction.
My nutritionist/dietitian told me about this 3 years ago...but did not try it. I'm ready now to try it.
Great! Here's my recommended form of Berberine: us.fullscript.com/plans/drkateld-functional-fat-loss-trio
Just started Berberine this morning, not for weight loss but for cholesterol issues . I intermittent fast for dropping triglycerides and thought this could help me fight sugar cravings .
Absolutely!
I’ve been taking it for about 3 months and my A1C went from 8.5 to 7.5 my cholesterol and triglycerides also went down but I also started taking cod liver oil.
@@deniseg112I’m starting today.
@@deniseg112ceylon cinnamon 15 mins before eating is also your best friend.
hi there how is it working for meaning has it affected your blood sugar level. I want to use it for the same reasons as yours but worry about sugar level dropping.
Thank you. I have been taking Berberine for a while. I have struggled with gut issues my entire life. I started slow. Once a day/morning/before breakfast/ 500mg/with a tiny amount of coconut oil for about 2 week. Then increased to 2xday for 2 weeks before breakfast/again before lunch/and now I am taking it 3xday before each meal. This is the first time I can ever remember not being constipated in my entire life.
Weight loss? I wasn't overweight when I started, so what I noticed was my gut felt better. My appetite is normal and has been, but I feel satisfied after eating. I never get sugar cravings, although I don't consume much and what I do consume is mainly from fruit.
I am a senior, I walk 60 minutes/day broken up into 3 sessions. I do not take any prescription drugs and haven't for years. To be honest I haven't even seen a doctor in over 8 years. Had a falling out which got ugly. So I never went back. This is in no way a recommendation. In my case I had to protect myself from someone very evil. That being said I am very satisfied with my Berberine journey. And thank you again for all this great information.
It's incredible what can happen when you get to the root - in your case, the gut! So glad to hear you've had success - keep up the great work. And thanks for watching!
You had me at WEIGHTLOSS.

Berberine, wonderful. I have only used the Thorne brand. I just trust their product. Lost weight quickly and movements were much better.
Glad you found it helpful!
Hi. How many milligrams and capsules do you take?
One capsule in the morning and one at night.
@@lorac4126 I just wanted to thank you for answering the question of specific amount. No one in the comments that have claimed success with berberine has answered any questions about the brands or amount. Thank you so much and God bless you
I was taking semiglutide and it was making me sick. I was losing the weight and going broke trying to afford it. I’m going to try Berberine
I hear that a lot! Be sure to check out my other videos for more GLP-1 Boosting options!
I took Berberine it’s expensive as heck but it works. This video reminds me to buy it again
I'm glad it's working for you!
At the beginning of every year due to premiums Januvia skyrockets to over $550 for one month. I switch to Berberine. I told my doctor. I am now at 6.4. Regarding weightloss have not noticed any difference. But sugar yes.
Glad it helps!
I have been taking some , but 1/2 the recommended dose. I think it has benefited me with some fat loss and better mood. I sure do notice that when I eat too much sugar , it affects me in many negative ways. I wish I didn't love to bake and eat goodies, but I just modify as much as I can.
Thank you for the information here😊
You're most welcome! Keep up the good work!
I took ozempic for 3 months in 2023. I stopped because of the GI discomfort. I started berberine 2 weeks ago following research and its really good. I feel exactly as i did on ozempic but without GI issues. My cravings are curbed! I take it with pomegranate supplement. I actually eat healthier as well.
Yay! Glad it's working for you!
I've been using balanceme supplement with berberine while on a diet of 1600kcal and my sugar level improved,also my blood pressure.I do not crave sweet snacks and I'm mot hungry between meals.
Happy to hear you're having success!
Question have you noticed a difference in your blood pressure?
My doctor recently all but dismissed my concerns of candida. Thank you so much for this video.
Glad you found it helpful!
Girl take PROBIOTICS EVERY SINGLE DAY! I've been taking them every day since 1995 and it is the BEST for preventing candida and yeast infections! It might give you a little diarrhea at first, but stay with IT! All WOMEN should take it EVERY DAY! 😊
I learned about 12 years ago that you can’t say those words to regular doctors, they then think you’re nuts, even though you are not.
Finally our questions answered and more.. great video with all the information.🙌🏼
Glad it was helpful!
Recently told my doctor I was considering berberine instead of metformin.She blew a gasket! Told me" Don't believe everything I see on U tube & Fb." I started on it anyway & it is lowering my daily blood sugars.Started March 22,2024. Will try for 3 months.
How long can someone take berberine supplements?
Berberine is safe to take long-term! Glad you're noticing some quick results and getting those sugars down 🥳
😂😂😂 that Dr. response is hilarious & sounds familiar
Ive been taking it for a month now and I have no appetite at all my pants are getting lose on me i haven't checked my weight but i do feel like ive lost a little bit i know that this stuff is awesome and i will continue to take it
Glad you're seeing some results - but make sure you're still getting enough healthy nutrition. The goal is NOT to make you stop eating!
What brand and dose ?
You can find details like these by signing into my Fullscript dispensary here: us.fullscript.com/plans/drkateld-functional-fat-loss-trio
I bought it for my Mum & I, we both didn’t see any results but everyone’s different I guess with these sorts of things!
Did you buy a high-quality product? Did you give it at least 3 months? These things take time - and you're right, everyone is different.
I just recently tried Berberine for 30 days. A few take always… first, it does make you feel full longer and curbs your appetite… BUT it also causes really bad bloating and constipation!! At least it did for me. I had to give it up because it actually made my pants so tight to the point where I looked pregnant and I couldn’t take it anymore. 😩
Sounds like symptoms of bacterial die-off to me! Could be a sign that you have some underlying dysbiosis.
Bacteria die off? What’s that?
Berberine is fantastic, along with intermittent fasting i lost 16 kg and kept it off.
Hooray! 🥳
@roschamac What brand are you taking?
Most informative video I’ve found on this topic so far
Thanks so much for watching!
Im not worried about cholesterol, but hormones that are swayed by high cortisol levels through menopause is a slam dunk, not to mention PCOS
Legit! 👍🏼
Great simple video! Thank you for the info and checklist.
Hooray! Glad you liked it!
Very informative. I will be asking my GP if this is okay to take with my current medications next week. Thanks.
Great! Glad you found the info helpful!
Yes, it is good to know if we can take it if we are trying to lower cholesterol with thyroid medication.
Should be fine!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 You're going to ask your GP. Good luck with that!
@@vaniad555My primary care doc recommended it. I have autoimmune thyroiditis and take levothyroxine.
I’ve viewed a lot of videos on berberine and this is one of the best I’ve seen. Thanks for your clarity and thoroughness on this subject. What are your thoughts on dihydroberberine?
Glad it was helpful! Studies suggest that oral berberine is modified to dihydroberberine by the gut GI microbiome, but it's almost instantly converted back to berberine within the intestinal wall itself. Following absorption (which is very, very low) there is also extensive first-pass phase I and II liver metabolism generating a number of potential metabolites. Given the extremely low rates of berberine absorption systemically (via any form), the effect of berberine is via the gut microbiome - which doesn't require systemic absorption. At the end of the day, I recommend the form of berberine with the most/best clinical evidence - you can see my suggestions in the checklist here: www.drkateld.com/free-fat-loss-user-guide-signup
Without doubt the best video I have watched on this subject. Thank you so much.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!
What a useful video. Thanks so much for sharing. Always learning!
Yay! So glad it was helpful - and thanks for watching 🧡
Thank you for explaining so clearly!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this… I’m getting mine today
You're most welcome!
Thank you! Subbed and grabbed the copy of the trio! ❤❤
Awesome! I hope you find it helpful!
I just ordered some and I'm going to take it. I've gained way too much weight because of drinking too much and bad liver. So I'm hoping this will help, along with the cleanse and liver cleanse I'm doing to get back to my desired weight. I'm also 45 so... I'm sure menopause is coming around the mountain!
Yay! Hope you're successful!
My (ex) naturopath pushes semaglutide hard. I told her 5 times not interested. She talked over me saying how it would make me youthful blah blah blah. I finally said I had researched it and not interested. She laughed in my face and said, “Google not research.” I found out she is taking this herself. She was never overweight.
I'm sorry - it's so frustrating when your healthcare providers don't listen to you 🧡
Working for me!
Love to hear it!
Thank you for sharing this information ❤
You're most welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
I bought the best quality berberine, but I had to stop using it after just two days. I felt very strange, but it is hard to describe; it felt a bit like I had drunk several espressos in one go. My body said 'no', and I felt normal again as soon as I stopped taking it.
Everyone is different! You could try a lower dose or a different strategy altogether - there are many options!
I recommend testing your CRP. If you have infection in your body, alarms might be going off
Omg!!! Thank u so much… since I’ve been taking Berberine I started to notice a white substance in bowels and since I have UC was afraid I’d have to stop taking it… u cleared that up for me by mentioning substance clearing out the intestines…I’ve been taking berberine for 1 month and my visceral fat and fat fat has decreased… I’ve been working out for years with no real weight loss , now I have dropped 5lbs in a month - finally!!! I am 51 yrs old and 4’11- weight 144 now … is that TMI? Sorry …
Glad to hear about your success! Keep up the great work!
Great delivery

I don't see why not!
What about Berberine and Ceylon cinnamon mixed together?
I haven't looked into this combo yet - will have to do a little research
Thank you for your response. I noticed that there was this blend when I was searching for which barbering brand to purchase. so I was just wondering. Thanks again.
I tried it. Totally messed up my stomach. Side effects on me were awful. I don’t take it anymore.
One of the things berberine does in the gut is knock down unfriendly or overgrown bacteria - sometimes that results in a "die-off" or "herxheimer reaction." Symptoms can range from mild-moderate and typically improve after a few weeks, but everyone is different! Quality and dose also matter.
@@DrKateLyzengaDean , I would be very grateful if you recommended a quality one.

I'm on Omeprozole.. 40 MG. I'd like to get off of that. Can Berberine be taken alongside it for now?
I tried it two separate times, but I to had to stop it because it caused me to have excessive itching. It came from Amazon .

Can you take berberine with blood pressure medication, amlodepeine in particular?
Yes - there's even evidence that Berberine can make amlodipine more effective!
Can you take berberine if you're on Mounjaro?@@DrKateLyzengaDean

Can you take berberine if you’re also taking Metformin. I do not have diabetes, but my Dad did and at one point I was lose to pre-diabetes. My A1C is 5.3
Hi, Tina! Yes, you can take both. There aren't any documented interactions between Berberine and Metformin 👍🏼
My doctor told me it would be fine to take berberine and Metformin.
If you go to the Alzheimer's website, under causes, Metformin is listed as a cause. Please do not take that poison. If you are not diabetic, please use natural methods to address it. God bless.

Anyone else having problems with period? Started taking those, and my period lasted 3 days and 5 days later. It started again and lasted for 7 days and is much heavier period.
Shifting your microbiome and blood sugar can impact estrogen detoxification pathways - which can show up as period symptoms. Not necessarily a bad sign (though I'm sure it's annoying). 👍🏼

Berberine is remarkably safe, but I would definitely run it past your oncologist before taking it.

Ever looked into moringa?
That is also supposed to be good.
They sell the leaf and there is also the tablet.
I started it a week ago. Gave me constipation and I am have been doing intermittent fasting for 4 years. Well, after berberine it has opened my appetite eating more than ever. 😳 not good for me.

Wow thank you!
You're welcome!
Once a person has been on berberine and has lost weight can it be stopped as a supplement or will weight gain return.
Great question - because Berberine helps re-set the AMPK switch for metabolism, it does have long-lasting benefits (even after you stop taking it). But the GLP-1 boosting effect may be more temporary, so if satiety is a big deal for you, it might be worthwhile to continue taking it longer-term or in occasional pulses. Everyone's different!
Brilliant. Thank you. X
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Liked the content, is it safe to consume berberine with low HB-9.2, how effective-it is for PCOS?
Yes, it is safe. And it can be very helpful for managing insulin in cases of PCOS!
Hi doctor, Please advise if Berberine is the same as goji berries. Thank you 💗
Nope - not the same thing!
Thanks for the great video! How does Berberine affect the liver? Does Berberine raise AST and/or ALT enzyme levels? Is Berberine ok to take if one has liver issues (e.g., NAFLD)?
Berberine is very safe - I haven't seen any research evidence showing that it negatively impacts the liver.
Can you take it if you are on Thyroid and Cholesterol meds?
Yes! As always, you'll want to take your thyroid medication separately from any other supplements or medications.
Thank you very much. 😊
Hello 👋🏻 I have bipolar 2 and take Abilify and Lamotragine. Plus spironolactone for acne. From what I gather there can be moderate interactions with these meds, at least the psych meds. It may increase the effects of Abilify and Lamotragine according to my psychiatrist. He suggested lowering the dosage, mainly the Abilify.
Thank you for your video btw ☺️
The tricky thing about psych meds is that there is almost always the potential for some interactions with just about anything - even something as simple as diet! It seems to be best practice to start low dose and monitor symptoms closely.👍🏼
I was looking into Ozempic, but I am terrified of the face-ruining effects (I'm 41 and have no fine lines, and I'd like to keep it that way), so I think I'll give this a try to lose some weight. I'd like to lose about 30 pounds, but I am so busy at work that I have no time for myself or to really exercise. I hope this will jump start the weight loss/ help to regulate all the out of whack cortisol levels that I'm sure are making a mess for me.
Be sure to check out the other fat-loss videos in my library - you have so many options!
I’m in exactly the same position, have you started taking it yet? ❤
Good video Ty
Thanks for watching!
Just started taking it a week now. Early days as still craving the chocolate 😢
Takes time - don't give up!
Would magnesium help?
It could!
l have arthritis on my knees, always have fluid on knees especially when l eat anything that contains sugar like apple any sort of that contains natural sugar or otherwise.
So sorry about your knees!
thanks for this useful video! wondering what happens when you stop taking berberine? are you as “stuck” to berberine as to ozempic?
Because berberine works with your body and microbiome to support multiple facets of weight management, we don't really see a "rebound" in weight gain like with GLP-1 drugs.
Brand to buy. Im not diabetic but want to drop weight and is perimenopause and prefer something more natural..

Can someone explain why berberine won't work for some people? I finished an entire bottle, along with l-carnatine with no results. I just continue to gain weight.
Dose, quality, and timing are important - most people don't see significant results for several months. Diet and lifestyle play a big role as well! You can find more details and tips about functional medicine strategies to lose weight (including suggested dose and duration for berberine) in the fat loss user guide here:www.drkateld.com/free-fat-loss-user-guide-signup
Tried Berberine, but after the 1st pill my stomach began to hurt very much, so I don't dare take any more.
It's important to note that not all berberine supplements are of equal quality, and dose can be an issue. Also, everyone is different - thankfully there are as many Functional Medicine strategies for fat loss as there are reasons for fat gain!

Im 61, I had hyperparathyroidism for yrs undiagnosed. After having 2 parathyroid surgeries, I'm left with, stage 3 kidney disease, pseudogout and osteoporosis. I changed my diet to vegan, but not losing weight very fast. My question is how would this work for my health obstacles...thank you in advance
While I can't speak to your specific situation here, I can say that berberine would potentially help balance blood sugar, reduce chronic inflammation, improve absorption in your gut, help boost GLP-1...the list of benefits is a long one!
Hi! I just started taking Zepbound, do you know if I can take the Berberine along side the Zepbound? Thank you!
It can be, but it depends on your specific situation - probably best to talk to your prescribing provider 👍🏼
Does anybody know what the daily dose is for weightloss please?
