In this video, I want to cover what PCOS is and what can cause PCOS.
Symptoms of PCOS:
• Infrequent or prolonged menstrual cycle
• Excess male hormones (androgens)
• Infertility
• Excess hair growth on the body
• Thinning hair on the head
• Acne
• Insulin resistance
Most websites will tell you that the potential causes of PCOS are genetic or maybe environmental. But, I think the missing piece that you need to know is that high androgens can be caused by high insulin. And high androgens may cause many of the symptoms of PCOS.
Unfortunately, insulin levels are rarely checked. You can’t really determine what’s going on with insulin by checking your blood sugar levels. You could actually have normal blood sugars and still have high levels of insulin.
If you’re not sure what causes high insulin, I have a lot of other videos on that topic. Watch those videos and start the Healthy Keto Diet and intermittent fasting.

Dr.Berg, PCOS is very important topic please bring more videos on PCOS.
Large number of people r suffering from PCOS.
Please watch this video - Dr. Berg interviewed a naturopathic doctor on this topic th-cam.com/video/M0FCUqkQhyE/w-d-xo.html
Yes please.
People are not suffering with pcos, men do not have ovaries!!! Ony women suffer with pcos!!! Lol
Not just PCOS. PLEASE create more content on other female issues like fibroids.
@@Drberg Please bring more videos on Prostatitis , many men are suffering from that , and doctors are only giving antibiotics
I was diagnosed with PCOS in my early 30s. I started a low carb diet and regular exercise to get lean. Lo and behold, my PCOS disappeared after a year.
What did you eat and what did you exercise ??? Please help
How low is your carb intake daily? 20 g?
Meth cured my sisters pcos
@@awkwardautistic omgosh I legit laughed out loud... That is horrible! LOL
I needed to hear this 🙌
i always come back to check how this man is doing and he just never ages lol
Fasting!!! Haha! It's legit
he fasts 20hrs , eats 7 cups of greens per day!!
I saw a 7 year old video of him and he did not age one but.
@@HopetonHodges i bet he was also saying '' carbs and sugars give you insulin resistance, other than that youre just fine'' back then.... kekeke
If you watch his older videos he actually aged backwards 😂
I tried EVERYTHING for my PCOS. Keto and IF was the only thing that worked for me. It changed my life in more ways than helping with PCOS. I feel like a completely different person! I'm so happy and thankful to have learned about this lifestyle.
So glad it has helped! You may also want to check out this interview Dr. Berg did with a naturopathic doctor (there is another one as well). th-cam.com/video/UxDY7CrliRg/w-d-xo.html

@@lillian3890 Congratulations!!! Isn't it like witnessing a small miracle? I'm currently pregnant too and have tried for nearly a decade. I try not to be a keto preacher but with results like this it's hard to keep it to yourself.
We're so glad that you've been able to improve your health! How empowering!
Was it easy? What were your struggles? Did you use any other supplements to help you stick to keto
Keto is what my sister did to cure her own PCOS. She went from having a period about once a year, to a perfect 28 day cycle, and now I am an uncle thrice over.
Doctors were no help at all, but fortunately we're a family who loves to do our own research and get to the bottom of things.
Dr. Berg, you are so right on the money here. PCOS causes so much misery. Women are told it's a chronic condition with no hope of fixing and by the way, you won't be having kids. It's just not true; it's an insulin resistance problem and it can be corrected.
Can you have kids if you have pcos
@@desibritish955 I have pcos with no cysts on ovaries. You can still have kids and high fertility and have this anyway. Good to get your female hormones and insulin checked and start keto diet and intermittent fasting! Seems to be reverseable, thank goodness!
@@desibritish955 I had 2. Did not know what it was back then. Was told by 3 different doctors I would never have kids. To look good for my wedding went on the evil Atkins diet. First child resulted from that. Many miscarriages later went on the evil Atkins diet again. Second child.
@@dawnelder9046 oh please let me know about the Atkins diet. I have been trying to have kids for 3 years now but to no avail.
@@desibritish955 I have PCOS and had no problem getting pregnant and have a regular cycle. It’s different for everyone. It made it harder for me to diagnose.
I have been waiting for you to make a video on PCOD! Many many girls have this issue these days and are looking for answers. And no one better than you can explain these medical issues with such clarity. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Please do more on pcos. I believe my daughter is suffering from this and I want to help her.
i agree i would love more info about pcos. I trust dr. berg so much. IF, low carb, and inositol l help me a lot and dr. berg does have videos on those that might help your daughter!
@@Diogenes-II thank you but she is allergic to nuts and seeds. I have heard about the inositol though.
@@Diogenes-II is there a way I can message you?
@@sleepysounds8340 i went keto and was taking inositol (ovasitol ) for 6mths after which i got pregnant and i have a healthy 7mth old baby. thanks dr. berg for your you tube videos. i took dr. berg advice which was free by the way.
@@sleepysounds8340 He does. Thank you so much for sharing!
I have PCOS and couldn’t get pregnant for 6 years. After watching Dr Bergs videos I started Keto diet and used his knowledge about vitamins and fasting. I got pregnant after few months. Thank you Dr Berg❤ I am currently 7 months pregnant and very grateful ❤
That's amazing! Congratulations!
What vitamins did you take? Also how long did you fast for?
There's so many vitamins and I get overwhelmed. I keep my vitamins simple so which vitamins is a must to supplement also I was told not to fast when you have hormonal Imbalances. I did start keto but I don't really fast
I had to fast in order to regulate my menstruation cycle. I took inositol, berberine, vit D, Iron, Magnesium and some multivitamins for women. I lost 50 pounds in few months. I was only eating between 12 -6 pm 1-2 meals and fasting the rest. I did cut sugar completely from my diet
@magdalenad5860 that's awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! My husband and I have been trying (naturally) for almost 10 years with 0 luck. I was starting to lose hope, and thinking about taking the drugs the doctors keep pushing. Multiple doctors have been rude in telling me that they can't help me if I won't take drugs (metformin, Femara, etc.). Thanks to stories like yours and Dr. Berg, I'm hopeful again!💛
I was diagnosed with pcos in the 90's. The Endocrinologists put me on all different kinds of birth control and androcur meds. All those drugs made me terribly ill. Not much fun for a 14 year old girl at the time. I am glad to see better information and medical resources are being done. Thank you 😊
In 21st century it became more common disease although my mom n grandmother s didn't have this but I do have pcos n I m struggling with it I just want to lead a normal healthy life
I've had pcos since I was 12 years old. I'm 35 now. It's been two decades of a nightmare. I'm so happy to see mother's here commenting on looking for info for their daughter. My mother never took any interest in it, she would simply day that she just didn't understand it. If you have a daughter with any of the symptoms talk to her about it and get her help.
Same here but my mom has some health issues she is innocent she doesn't have particular knowledge about this issue
So relatable
I'm sorry you were subjected to that happy to see you advocating for other young women.
same
Here for my 11 year old,who has painful periods,eating healthy but gaining weight
Finally a clear and simple explanation!
I've struggled a lot with PCOS and I recently started doing the Keto diet. It's going fine so far.
I discovered that I had PCOS when I was 29 years old by reading a magazine while waiting in an auto shop. I had classic symptoms including weight gain, acne and irregular menstrual periods. No doctor ever mentioned PCOS to me before but mentioned birth control pills to regulate my cycles and droned on about weight loss. I'm glad to see Dr. Berg's video explaining the condition. Many doctors don't discuss it or know very little about it and don't seem to take it seriously. It is frustrating.
MY GFS HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE!!! THIS IS SO TRUE. NO ONE EVER BELIEVED HER BUT ME and her dr in mexico. He passed but after we took dr bergs advice her is CURED from pcos. 1yr without BC and with MO symptoms what so ever. We are blown away
*MR OBALAR* ON TH-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ❤…
We love your emphasis on getting to the root cause! That's the power of functional nutrition that we practice!
I’m 28 years old, from the beginning of my menstrual cycle as a teen it was normally regular, it wasn’t until maybe early 20’s my periods were irregular, one month on one month off. Around 2017, they weren’t as consistent, 2019 I went months without my period! I was also my heaviest around 2019, about 194lbs and 5’2, so you can imagine my bmi. Late 2020 last year, I was officially diagnosed with pcos. And it made me sad to know that I was “infertile” as I wasn’t getting my periods.
That’s when I was sick of being obese and tired of being sadden at the idea of not even having the option to have kids one day and I decided January 17, 2021 at 186lbs to start keto. I won’t say that I loved keto because it’s the drop in carbs and intake of fats but it definitely changed my relationship with food and nutrition that I so desperately needed. You can’t exactly go by the motto “in moderation” when you’ve become your heaviest and at that point it’s hard to reverse. Working out won’t achieve much if your diet is so poor like mine was and I was carrying so much fat it was hard to work out without feeling like fainting! But also don’t listen to people on the internet or in your life who are so negative about keto because it changed my life. I also incorporated intermittent fasting and eventually started doing omad. And mind you while doing keto I barely exercised, I just stuck to a keto diet and the pounds shed.
By May 2021, I lost 28lbs, I weighed 158 at my lowest and then I just received news that I’m pregnant and naturally too! While we didn’t plan to be pregnant, it’s what I asked wanted eventually in life. I worked really hard for only 5 months, and after years of poor eating I was able to reverse it. I’m not at my goal weight which is around 135lbs but if I can do it so can you. By the month of May as it finally became warmer in Toronto, I started incorporating walks, and mini sprints up the stairs outdoors, and it feels completely different working out 28lbs lighter. You feel like you can actually move without being out of breath and in pain. It takes that step and motivation to just one day drop everything and do it! I watched so many of Dr. Berg’s videos to keep going when I wanted to quit. Good luck out there!
Wow! Really nice to read. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad congratulations ❣️
Congratulations!
❤️
Congratulations
It's hard to put into words how great these kinds of videos are
Had PCOS as teen/early 20s. Not diagnosed diabetic until 40 years later with full metabolic syndrome suite. This can go on a very long time before diagnosed. Someone with the symptoms Dr Berg describes here could greatly benefit from using PCOS as an indicator that they are on the road to diabetes later in life. It is a real indicator of susceptibility to insulin resistance. Reduce/eliminate sugars/carbs from diet now. Save yourself a lot of trouble. Just like Dr. Berg says here.
Oh wow, I had no clue. Thanks!
I find it telling how many young woman have either this or endometriosis. I would say 80 to 90% of my youngest daughter's friends, in their mid 20's, have been diagnosed with these. As a retired midwife, I am constantly being asked what to do. I will share this video with them.
A SYNDROME is a medical condition for which mainstream medicine has determined there is no known cause to qualify it as a DISEASE.
Many SYNDROMES can be tied to untreated thyroid condition.
Read Dr Broda Barnes, "Hypothyroidism: the unsuspected illness "
Metformin can be toxic to your body .
Parasites in the ovaries are the answer......stay away from indoors pets...
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing 💞💞👏💞👏
Really? How do you know?
@@Binknew because they have reached out to me knowing my background...
I don't have PCOS but this video was really informative... Its funny how simple it is to be healthy just by eating right... Most of the diseases can be treated just by eating healthy keto. Amazing video...
Thank you Dr. Berg!
Been on gradual ketosis for about a week, did 18 hours today by which was rough but already:
. Better eyesight
. More energy
. Great heart rhythm
. Weight loss
. Belly fat loss
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Good sir
Sugar levels increase 🙏
I had PCOS. Since I started following Dr. Berg in January 2017 and watching all his videos, it helped me understand this disorder and what to do about it. I did water fasts, keto and IF. After only 3 months of doing so, my periods became regular, I'm healthier and lost weight too. So, thanks Dr. Berg!
How did you know you had it?
What’s IF?

Hey how are you is it working now aswell ??
@@Amy-qo2uq was diagnosed by my family doctor like 10 years ago or so...when I was 20 years old, I already was exhibiting the signs and symptoms but it doesn't have a name before, it's only just years ago that they recognized that term.
Exactly what I was looking for. I'm a 16 year old suffering from pco. I've never been unhealthy. But last year I started suffering from extreme weight change, hormonal issues, mood swings, missed periods etc. Thank you doctor for sharing the information
Did u fix urself ? My daughter is 17 going through the same thing
@@carmella88any updates on your daughter?
@@Xoang703 we get her blood drawn now in June but her period came twice in a row which is a plus. She's taking myo inositol and spearmint tea.
No real updates till then to see how it's going
Such a timely video-waiting for my tests results to determine whether I have this or not. Thank you for sharing!
From a spiritual concept, Pcod also stems from childhood trauma probably emotional trauma being bought up in the hands of dysfunctional parents.
That emotional stress does many damages . Just to name a few
Maternal trauma and lack of parental love induces stress response in ovaries of the daughters which react by staying immature and not to ovulate. It also over produces androgens in an attempt to guard the daughter as androgens or testosterone imply masculinity and strength which could help the daughter to stand up against the ongoing abuse.
Another reason is emotional stress leads to overeating which causes obesity and insulin resistance .
Interestingly , there are many lean pcods who also have insulin resistance. Infact emotional stress can lead to insulin resistance with or without obesity .
So, I feel , if the trauma is healed. Pcod could be potentially cured.
Pcod needs spiritual cure apart from other usual weight management strategies.
I agree!! 👍
@@priyankakadam5007 ☺
yess, I have regular menses but it gets out of whack, along with my hormones, during stressful months
This is mostly due to the adrenal glands not functioning properly. You need a good doctor who is versed in holistic medicine practices. Most traditional doctors do not pay attention to the adrenal glands, but they also play a role in PCOS. Ask your Dr if the are knowledgeable in MTHFR mutation and get tested for that too. It is a game changer for patients with PCOS. This guy is removing my comments because the information he is giving out is old and it is a disservice to people to not give them the right information.
Thank you for stating this !
I’ve been following Dr. B’s HK and IF for 8 months and blown away at my overall change in health, along with major decrease in uterine fibroid symptoms. THANK YOU Dr. B!
Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.
What’s HK?
words are not enough to tell you how much i appreciate you. 💕🌴
He seems like he knows exactly what he's doing and saying...what a blessing!!!
I've had problems with menstrual cycles my whole life cause of pcos..I've been doing keto and IF for almost 6 months and I started to have frequent menstruate cycles wich has never happend to me ever in my life. I've had pcos since I found out when I was 16 but I feel hopeful that I can conquer this thanks to dr.berg!
Hw old are you now?
Good on ya . Wishing you well . ❤️
Thank you so much for breaking this down and thank you for the youtube links in the description. You just made my life so much easier.
Thank you Dr.
Thank goodness for dedicated doctors as yourself that haven't abandoned their true call to help people heal and be healthy instead of instantly pushing drugs to solve every issue. Most doctors now a days automatically treat the symptoms without finding the root cause to their illness. I wish you much love and health and many thanks for all the help you give. 💗
Thank you so much Dr. Berg for all that you are doing for your members and the general public. Amen
I’ve been struggling with PCOS since I was 13 and I’m now 28 and it’s only gotten worse. Doctors have turned me away because I’m skinny. I’m starting the keto diet and will continue intermittent fasting. I hope and pray that it helps. Thank you for the knowledge.
H r u dear any update
Hello,
Have you try intermittent fasting? If so, did you notice any changes with PCOS?
Hi!
We are curious of your results😄
@@chiamaka_okafor it works
@@bushrabonera thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾☺️
I tried keto+IF briefly fr a month and i could clearly see changes in my mood and my menstrual cycle. This definitely works. I'm resuming keto+IF again now. Thankyou Dr Berg!
Finally some good content for women. Love all your IF vids and you have motivated to start and stay strong since a year now on IF.
Thank you for making this video. I was diagnosed with pcos around 15 and been on birth control as a “temporary solution.” I am now 20 and birth control is causing me long term problems, so now I’m going to start my journey on fixing myself or curing myself as much as I can !
I'm literally on my way to my IVF treatment right now. I've faced almost 5 years of infertility, 3 losses including a funeral for an unborn baby of mine. The only thing that helps pcos is fighting insulin resistance and lowering inflammation. I had an ovarian wedge resection surgery performed by a trained NAPROTECHNOLOGY surgeon and I got pregnant immediately after this surgery. Find a REAL expert on PCOS. Get a 2nd, 3rd or 4th opinion if necessary!!!!
I remember I worked at a drug store, and my co-worker almost died when a cyst on her ovary ruptured!!! It's a good thing that it was her day off and she was at home! Her parents rushed her to the hospital and the doctor's said if they were five minutes later she would of died. They even had a accident on the way to the hospital. And the man that got hit seen the distress on the parents and told them don't worry just get your daughter to the hospital. Things were different back then. She was only 19 or 20 years of age! And a great gal.
I was diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis at 19. I'm almost 30 and still have it. It's really difficult to deal with overall but diet and exercise help. However, I am overweight and struggling. There is so much more to it then people know and this topic is rarely talked about. Your OB/GYN is your best friend when it comes to these issues!
THANK YOU Dr. Berg! I really hope to avoid this condition and I trust your input on this subject! God bless you!
Wow. I didn't know that you could have normal blood sugar and high insulin at the same time!
I quit wheat and all cereals and my pcos disappeared in a couple of months 😊
Great. Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh wow
Wow! Thank you so much! Is really helpful to know ☺️
That does not surprise me. Congratulations.
@@rawwoodgifts8117 its all in the food . I took ashwagandha and I've had it every month this whole year. I'm really happy
Hey Dr. Eric thank you for this information ..I truly flow your keto diet and intimating fasting routing. And also do home workout and yoga.. Last 7 month I loose 10 kg weight ..your videos are so impressive and useful ..
Yes I believe I was on the verge of developing full blown PCOS. I was in the beginning stages with a lot of excess hair growth and bad hormonal acne. Even though my hormone levels and ultrasound of ovaries seemed to be normal I knew my body was trying to develop pcos. My diet was so bad and full of sugar. Ever since switching to keto my acne has cleared right up!
*MR OBALAR* ON TH-cam CURED ME TOTALLY ❤…
You are doing so much good for people... for free. You have changed my life.
Don't forget weight gain. Before I actually became a diabetic my gynecologist put me on metformin. It's a hormone imbalance. I am so thankful I found you. I am thankful you are talking about these health issues. Keto is the best for me. FYI my periods where horrible especially after I had my child. Just about every 20 days and heavy. I ended up having ablation. Best decision.
Wow, I could literally cry..... thanks doc 🙏🏽
I was feeling the samething
Thank you for all the knowledge you provide to us for free 🙏 😊
Agreed and what a God send he is to so many! Many of his posts are passed on and do help others, as well, who state they didn't know. Many, many thanks to Dr. Berg and may God always Bless him on his continued path(s)!!!

@@lux9956 go see what his family has to say about him.
@@stickyfingers2132 He has done amazing and tremendous work to educate people for free. One can improve one's life drastically by only applying what he said.
Happy to see this subject. I was diagnosed about 13years ago. At the time fertility was my biggest concern so I focused on how to get my cycles on track. My research led me to Maca which is a Peruvian root. It works very slowly to regulate hormones. After 2 months of taking it my cycles normalized after close to 20 plus years like magic and I could pin point them every single month to within a day or 2. It definitely worked for me. I'd be curious to know if you've heard of it.
Thanks for the tip - I can't find any information on this. Please check out this video that Dr. Berg did with Dr. Nadia regarding PCOS. Hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/M0FCUqkQhyE/w-d-xo.html
Hello how is it going, is it still working for you? I have taken it in the past but I wasn't constant. Iam thinking about trying it again. I am skinny and have pcos but I dont want to take pills
I must say this is one of the very top channels on the internet!!! Greatest respect to you Dr Berg from Italy!
You have been my teach for 6 years now and you have helped me so much.
Thank you so much for your ethics and your relentless effort to educate us with your knowledge and for free! God bless Dr Berg.
You have the kindest eyes doctor, it's because you are incredibly kind. Thanks for saving the world.
I've been waiting for this video!! More videos on women's health/hormones please!
Very useful video! I wonder how and why people dislike such informative videos. Either they don't understand the language or they don't have the basic understanding of when a person should dislike a video. Anyways thanks a lot for your great work.
I’m happy to be the first to comment on this video yet it’s not about this video at all but instead a moment to say that I appreciate what you do sincerely and I am thankful for all of the info that you give out to us for free. I am suffering from depression and I was wondering if you could do a video on how to clear the brain of toxins and what to do to naturally remove anything blocking me from being happy and upbeat. If this is something that cannot be done through eating and exercise then no worries I don’t expect you to create a miracle for me but nonetheless I wanted to say my piece and show my appreciation to what you do. Thank you Dr berg
Years of taking antibiotics, Accutane, fertility treatment all because of PCOs. All I needed to do is take care of high insulin. Wish I knew that back then. At least now I know about intermittent fasting, cutting down on sugar and carbs. I've been doing that for the past 5 months and I feel the difference. Dr Berg thank you ❤️ No need for drugs or doctors anymore 😁
That's a wonderful story, congratulations!
Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!
@@wilted_rose510 that I do not remember. I took it about 20 years ago. I do remember that my skin was hyper sensitive and hurt when I washed it with cotton pads. I was very sensitive to the sun as well. Took it for 3 months and decided to stop. More side effects than real help. On top of that the acne came back. I was devastated then. If I had the "problem" now I would just check insuline levels and change my diet. Back then I believed in doctors, "medication" and that my acne was a lost case. At that point the doctors didn't even diagnose PCOS. They just kept prescribing creams, pills and nothing worked.
I would have never linked Insulin resistance with this. Thank you Dr Berg for everything you do. I don't have it but now I know to make sure they check my insulin since diabetes run in my family. God bless you
Again, I so much appreciate your videos and the way that you share important information! I would love to hear you speak about the healthy keto and versions of that are a a more long-term sustainable fit for people in different situations.. for example, I feel like there is a difference between male and female bodies and different ages....female bodies especially as they get menopausal, aswell as, more complex situations where there's thyroid issues, autoimmune issues, fatty liver, etc... We know all of these conditions are connected, as you've helped us to understand. However, I would love to hear your thoughts and have you shed some more light on different versions of Keto diets for different situations. I know you kind of touched on these areas as I've watched many of your videos. I'm finding that a strict no or very low carb keto diet isn't what is sustainable for me at this time and/or long term, but I can still apply the things that I've learned from you, especially, about intermittent fasting. Thank you for what you do@
Thank you doctor. 🌻
I have PCOS and this video helped me to understand it a little better.
I researched endlessly and went to multiple doctors but didn't come across this valuable piece of information- what actually is the reason. Bring more info over this topic, we really need it.
I'm 18 and I just found out I have PCOS. Thank you so much for this video.
What did u do to help urself
This is such good information. Thank You so much! So hard to explain to people, because they want to believe they have "a disease " and can't do anything about it.
You speak with both knowledge and refinement -esp important because upsetting to deal with new health issues! I Had most of above listed symptoms, but ALSO pain SO terrible even my friends thought i exaggerated. Finally after surgery for cysts, in 2004 was diagnosed w endometriosis. Whaaat? Explained the horrific pains!. 😥 My mom endured ovarian cancer. More surgery helped me escape it...Thx Doc! ✨
I have known so many women with this, including my daughter.
Always give a like, videos are always really helpful. This way the video is recommended to others...
Thanks Dr Berg, nobody has ever explained PCOS in this simplified version. Thanks again. You are the best.
You're very welcome! Happy to help!
Thank you so much! This syndrome is so little talked about. I had no idea Dr couldn't tell insulin levels by blood sugar levels! This is crazy
Thank you Dr Berg for all you do. The information you share on your channel is priceless.
I got pcos when I hit puberty. I was also insulin resistant and had pre diabetes type 2. It runs in my family on my mums side. Every woman in my family on my mums side, great grandma, Nana, great aunts, cousins 2nd cousins have all been diagnosed with it. I no longer have follicles "cysts" on my overies. I went keto and went to gym lifting weights and doing cardio, I lost 40 kilos and took cbd oil. I have now added whole carb foods back in my life with the occasional bad food choice when celebrating family friend events, so I'll see how I go
Thank you for allowing your knowledge to be free, it helps people.
Thank you Dr. Berg! I agree on having to look past the first few pages of a Google search.
I was diagnosed when I was 14, I'm 22 now and I'm still learning about this condition. I'll ask my doctor to check my insulin levels even though I was just informed I'm no longer pre-diabetic. I'll also start intermittent fasting with keto to see how it works for me. Thanks Doc

Dr. Berg, you are my mentor, my guide and my hope. Just when I’m thinking that whatever health problem I’m facing is serious or hard to treat. I listen to you and you give me a simple solution. Thank you so much. God bless you.❤️
Love you from India as a doctor ❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ I appreciate your work
I’m 41 and just find out I have PcOs. I really was suffering all my life from it and just now finding out this is existing.
Well, hopefully you have lots of years of suffering left.
Hi. Ingrida . im 40 . i too suspect if i also have this. Until i watch Dr.s video wasn't aware. If you don't mind. Could you share some of symptoms just to know it better of mine. Thanks and god bless you
@@sheyf7562 I had for years hair on chin, eyebrows started thinner, weight gain from no where and I could get under control. High testosterone and androgen. Brain fogg, fatigue all the time even after long rest, body hurts. I felt miserable and still have these days. I listen dr Berg and started fasting . Stopped drinking coffee and dairy products. Eating lots of eggs with avocado, drinking lots of water. Ordered cortisol and adrenal , east supplements from dr.Berg
@@ingridabrandon9844 Thanks for writing and letting me know your story. I feel you. Guess its the other way around for me. I got thinner and thinner like i'v never been before. Lost at least 10kg without even doing exercises. This really puzzled me and feels desperate. However, i have had IBS for long and i started medical diet called Lowfodmap. On that i had to skip most carbs and sugars. And like you said i also suffered brain fog and insomnia. Some of them happened really recently like from 2019. I love to fast but if i do i lose weight. Now i have little improved coz i do yoga and breathing ex. Hellped me feel little better. BDW, have a doc. Diagnosed this specific one for you?
Anyway, Will pray and stay positive and take necessary action to feel relieved from these.
I really need this topic. I also have PCOS after gaining weight my period stop. Last year was my last until now I haven’t gotten my period. Thank you for this topic. When I’m in keto last year, my period was normally occur every months. So now here I am coming back to keto and your videos.Thank you dr. 😅
Im the same way! It can be so frustrating. Just finally had a real period after IF. We can do it! Good luck!
@@cmiller584 what did you do to get yourcperiodsxback??
@@dellagool4869 lower carbs with IF and apple cider vinegar for 4 months really is the main thing that helped me. Lost 25lbs. For the most part im more regular now. Even after gaining some back from the holiday carbs I still kept the regularity. I was shocked. I still do low carb off and on. I hope this helps!
@@cmiller584 what is IF??
@@dellagool4869 intermittent fasting. Eating only in a 4-8 hour window and fasting the other time
Great video Dr. Berg. You make learning a pleasure. Low carb and IF turned my life around. ❤️
Thank you for this information! Your videos are so helpful!
Thank you so much for this video Dr. Berg ! Please make videos on diets according to different countries diets since what you suggest to eat in keto is difficult to get in some countries. Also include alternative for keto food for vegetarian people.
He has a few videos on how to do it as a vegetarian. Have you checked Dr Berg's videos on this?
This truth needs to be spread. Please everyone share with all your female friends and relatives xxxx

Explained so clearly! Learned!
I was diagnosed last year at 17years old with PCOS ,it's hard but I got this 👍🏽
Getting down to the root cause. That's what I'm talking about!!
We can't agree more! Finding the root cause is key to improving health!
Sarah Armide on youtube has SO much information on this topic. I'm not even a girl and I get so much from her videos lol
please, post more videos about this topic, This is super helpful.
Brilliant. Thank you, doctor ♥️
Had to go through fertility treatments due to this but no one told me. Would love to see some videos on increasing fertility. So many women can’t get pregnant without drugs.

A SYNDROME is a medical condition for which mainstream medicine has determined there is no known cause to qualify it as a DISEASE.
Many SYNDROMES can be tied to untreated thyroid condition.
Read Dr Broda Barnes, "Hypothyroidism: the unsuspected illness "
Metformin can be toxic to your body .
Untreated thyroid causes many cases of infertility. See book.
I suffered from PCOS. I've been doing keto and IF since mid July. Menstrual cycle came back monthly after month 2. Got prego in January and I've been trying naturally for almost a decade. ❤
Please also check out this video with Dr. Nadia and Dr. Berg regarding PCOS th-cam.com/video/UxDY7CrliRg/w-d-xo.html
@@sostrong123 Amazing! Congratulations!
I was told I "likely" had PCOS two decades ago. I was told if I lost some weight it might improve. I agree that there's a lot of *general* info available (that just describe the condition, not the causes). I'm just starting to figure it all out now & making the insulin resistance connection.
Just watched your video on the lower pain under left ribcage. It's nice to know what's going on with my body
Hi I am Korean and I subscribed your channel to improve my English. Of course health information is additional advantage. Plus, your voice makes me calm. thanks.
Trying so hard to eliminate sugar from my diet because of this and other health issues, but my blood craves it!!! Lol! It’s soooo hard to be sugar free. Thanks for your videos Dr Berg. I appreciate the info break downs to a simplistic/understandable method.
I can relate.
replace processed sugar with fruits.
The best thing you can do is cut out caffeine. Most of us consume sugar along with coffee or tea. Have a fruit everyday. Include animal fats to a small extent which will keep you satiated. Try to manage stress levels which cause you to have sweet cravings
Hmm... I'm really looking forward to more videos on this, because I do have pcos. My grandmother had it. My aunts have and and most of the females in my family have it but at varying degrees. From personal experience I would say genetics does have a part to play in it. I recently did some blood tests and while my sugar reading was normal my testosterone level was slightly elevated. My insulin was not checked though. Again this is my personal experience. But I have tried intermittent fasting and it was honestly alot harder for me than eating 3 to 4 small meals throughout the day. Whenever I broke my fast I'd 1) get soo hungry I'd eat alot more than I should 2) experience the crash u get when eating a heavy meal. ( mind you it sometimes wasn't even that large a meal , meat and veggies)
Have you checked Dr Berg's videos on these points? Most of them are very short and to the point. Also check his videos on hunger.
Thanks for this, I'm sure it will help many women
Thank you, really good explanation Sir, hope you healthy always
Could you have high levels if you haven’t eaten sugar in 5 years? Really appreciate this video gonna ask for the test at my next appointment. Definitely subscribed 😀
You didn't talk about inositol this time, in one video you said PCOS needs keto and inositol
Thanks Doctor! Please do more videos on this topic 🙏🏼
Please check out the interviews that Dr. Berg did with Dr. Nadia (a naturopathic doctor) on this subject. Here is one th-cam.com/video/UxDY7CrliRg/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for this. I have a young friend who suffers with all these symptoms.will share this with her
You're most welcome.
