Today I’m going to share the most important nutrient for diabetes, weight loss, and fat burning.
A person with diabetes has high blood sugar, insulin resistance, and high or low insulin.
Symptoms of high blood sugar:
• Increased thirst
• Increased urination (especially at night)
• Fatigue (especially after you eat)
• Blurred vision
• Hunger
• Cravings (especially for carbs)
• Mood changes (anger or sadness)
Insulin needs potassium to help regulate or lower blood sugar. If you have insulin resistance, you need more potassium to balance out your blood sugar levels.
If you don’t have enough potassium, your blood sugar levels will go higher and higher. Glucose also needs potassium to be able to enter the cells. If glucose can’t enter the cells, it begins to build up, causing high blood glucose.
A potassium deficiency also puts you at a higher risk for diabetes, insulin resistance, weight gain, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and a fatty liver. The body requires 4700 mg of potassium every day.
Causes of a potassium deficiency:
• Refined carbs and sugar
• MSG
• Diuretics
• Stress
• Diabetes
• Exercise
Potassium is the most important mineral to start consuming to help regulate your blood sugars and decrease the need for medication.
Foods high in potassium:
• Lima beans (not keto-friendly)
• Avocados
• Melon (not keto-friendly)
• Brown sugar (not keto-friendly)
• Beet tops (high in oxalates)
• Leafy greens
Consuming leafy greens is the best way to get potassium. A quality electrolyte powder is also a great way to get potassium.

Most people in my family have diabetes and not once has the doctors ever mentioned vitamins and minerals. Thank you for the valuable content.
Nope and I know a lot of people on dialysis and they tell them not to take potassium
Me to I'm not diabetic but do have other ailments and not once has my doctor mentioned vitimins and minerals, since watching Dr Berg my health has improved and my sleep patterns are way better, I agree his knowledge is so valuable.
Same. Diabetes 1 & 2 on my dad's side & mostly 1 on my mom's side, plus heart problems, brain tumors, muscular dystrophy, many diabetics on my dad's side had their legs amputated.... Definitely didn't win the genetic lottery when it comes to health. I hope you & your family are well!!! 🙏💞
Yes in my India also
Doctors are NOT taught much at all about nutrition. Fact

Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
bannanas High in potasium. I just dont overeat on them
Thank you, Fidel.❤️
@@jeanpaultongeren125 banana may not be keto friendly. A fair source is leafy green vegetables, eg Spinach.
Thank you, fsbulous summation.
Fidel catsro thanks for info, what about lo salt which I put in my water along with redmonds.
Wow! The "one-way conversation with no listening" equated to cells not being sensitive to insulin. That is the best description of insulin resistance I've heard. Thanks, Dr. Berg!
That's true, as sometimes comments exceed 5K to respond.
@Marian-I thought it was an excellent analogy as well.
Most doctors when I go to Kaiser for a check up are in such a hurry and they don’t seem to care too much about you. Thank you for all the information you provide us doctor!
Doctors are always very rushed.
It’s amazing what insurance has done to our health care system. Sad.
I've been a diabetic for 10 years now. Not once has my primary ever told me why it is so important for my Potassium levels to be at the normal level. Every time I get my blood work done, I am always at the low end of the threshold with my Potassium. I just want to say "thank you" Dr. Berg for all your wonderful videos. I've been a great fan for a couple years now, and I always share your vids with friends and family. May the Lord repay you for your help....
I am under the impression that type two diabetes is totally preventable and reversible by cutting out carbs and sugar, have you tried going carnivore for a while?
Amen!
@@craigglaser251 You are totally correct. I have seen this many many times over the years.
A couple avocados every day should get your magnesium and potassium up to where it should be,And avocados are on the clean list so you don’t have to worry about getting organic. And again if you are type two diabetic you can most likely reverse that.(but don’t count on your primary telling you how to do it, they don’t like losing customers)Look into “clean keto” or “carnivore”And just stop eating processed carbs and sugars.
@@craigglaser251 Agreed with Craig on each point.
Cucumbers are part of the melon family and when I was pregnant and retaining water I would put cucumber slices in water and that would help. May be a good keto friendly option for getting more potassium.
When I have organic cucumber juice late at night and also moringa tea, I have to wake up many times for urination, as they are both very hydrating. But no diabetes.
One would need lots of them then. Easier to have avocados or big salads.
Through your sharing of information over the years, I have corrected my A1c, blood pressure and weight loss has followed. My wife also. We thank you!
This is the best explanation of "insulin resistance" i've ever heard! Thank you, Dr. Berg for sharing the knowledge in a way that anyone can understand. Cheers!
This was the best information on TH-cam about this subject hands down …🙌
After watching countless hours of your videos made me feel super motivated and started keto and IF. I went from 74kg to 68kg in just under four weeks which doesn’t seem like much but I’m amazed at how easy it actually was! Thank you Dr. Berg you are a godsend 💜
That's fantastic! Dr. Berg would love to hear about your success with Keto! Please use this link to upload your story:

Thank you so much Dr Berg we appreciate you for your time and incredible information. The beard looks awesome on you. Respect 🙌🏾
I LOVE YOUR CONTENT SO MUCH I hate it when people are not straightforward and irritatingly tell things which makes it difficult to get the information, but your videos are literally perfect I'm so thankful for your hard work there are not many people like you. Your videos are just so satisfying
Soo agree with you! Took me years research to understand my body until I found Dr Berg’s…
I love that example of the listening/talking in terms of explaining insulin resistance. Brilliant! I may have to use that in the future. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Thank you Dr. Berg my Dr. Has never mentioned to me about potassium. I have been stressed out for so long taking care of an elderly mother and work the night shift. Thank you Thank you for all your medical and life saving information.
Frenchie Williams. My heart to you. Been there done that for a loooooooooooooong tiiiiiiiiiime. It was heaven and lots of hell. I knew I very much loved my mother (and Dad) but, by the end, the experience showed me HOW much. As much as you went through - an immeasurable and priceless amount. Strength to you!
P.S. - Of course, I don't know your particular circumstances but, just in case: Once you've been entirely through hell, nothing can touch you from then on. You are well tempered steel!! ...with a most tender heart.😊💞
@@peppertree8244 Thank you for understanding I love what I do but with no help from other family members it can get to be too much sometimes!! Pray for me and may God bless you!!🙏
@@frenchiewilliams73 I will pray A LOT for you! I also had no help during 17 yrs of one dementia parent after other - at home, not in nursing home. 1 sibling - 0 help. The other - 1% in last 2 yrs of Mom's life...took her to lunch once a week or less till Mom was homebound, (= to a Disneyland dad in a divorce). No poop cleanup, confused parent, constant paperwork, lack of sleep, etc, for them yet they're the ones who missed out on all the important stuff including getting to know their parents as people.
One of my jobs was to keep MYSELF out of the hospital by eating pristinely and proper supplements. Dr. Berg channel- also priceless there. My bod and systems still took a huge hit after so many yrs and am still rebuilding over a year later but I can't imagine how bad it would have gotten w/o Berg info!
Also, in case it's pertinent: There is no figuring out Dept. of Human Services, insurance, etc., even after going thru it all! If your mom does qualify for help but gets turned down, KEEP APPLYING. It eventually magically happens. I think agencies just wait to see who really can't come up with extra $ help (from family or wherever) because they WOULD go broke if everyone who qualified did get approved. I tried to keep my parents from using the system as much as possible but eventually was necessary. Even I had to succumb to food stamps. Felt wrong at first but it is meant for people like us, doing the most they can on their own, after all.
So, the best to you whatever levels your situation is & goes thru. Hang in there. The Universe/God has certainly made things work out for me best as possible during, since and, surely, in future. Right extra job appeared, I'm covering the bills, and not homeless! So, YOU DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH! It WILL all be okay.
Too, primal screams in a pillow ARE cathartic. 😱😉😊 (I hope neighbors couldn't hear.... Oy)! Mssg if you need an ear. Bless you, Frenchie Williams, too!
Sorry mssg so long.
It feels so good to know someone is listening and has been through the same thing. You are so sweet and kind may God bless and continue to keep and bless you!! Take care and be safe
So, my family, aunts, cousins, all think I don't understand anything about medicine because I don't go to the doctors to receive A PILL...and they think I lose my time "here", and when I get rid of some wired things that happen in my body is pure suggestion...dear doctor. Thank you for lots of things!
Same with my husband side. He asks his friend how is a pharmacist n get a over the counter drugs!
My family are the same. Listening to Dr Berg, I've got myself off blood pressure meds!
But I can't master keto🥴
Eric you are absolutely amazing. You have helped me so much that I put into practice intermittent fasting and being a type 2 diabetic with A1C of 8.6 182lbs I now am 130lbs and A1C 6.3 much appreciated and I walk 5 days a week 10000 steps. Thanks to you with all your detailed information I couldn’t have done it with out you. Suki S
Still dialing it in but down 60 lbs thanks doc. All i have done is started the good fats and cut the carbs. You made this way to easy. Your true boss thanks again. So nice not to be hungry all the time. 1 huge meal a day.
I was diagnosed a year ago April that I am a diabetic. I was just diagnosed that I have pancreatitis. I can't believe I have almost every symptom that you put in this video that I have because of potassium. Thank you doctor I'm going to look into more taking some to potassium. For years I haven't been able to eat dark green leafy vegetables due to having blood clots years ago.
Greetings for Dr Berg. True professionalism! You are what you preach about! You look fresh and healthy!
Thank you thank you! I can’t say that enough! I watch practically everything you post because I truly believe you’ve saved my life, my family’s lives and without a doubt you have greatly improved our quality of life. I’m sure this won’t be the last time I’ll say it but again, Thank you!!
This video was tremendously helpful to me, as every video is…thank you so much Dr. Berg!
Love the way he tells people to get it from salads and then mentions you need loads of salads and advertises his powders!
Always enlightening and life saving.... Bless you Eric!!!!!!
Wow great information! Thank you Dr so happy I found this channel. 🙌🏻
Thank you 💕 for all information and sharing knowledge you are a great Mentor
I have remarkably seen difference taking potassium at insulin resistance stage, my weakness after taking food has reduced much better
I've followed you for many years and got to say the older you get the younger you are looking! It's just amazing how vibrant 💟
So true!
Thank you for the beneficial knowledge
I wish I could have you as a teacher all day for 2 years.
No words to express my gratitude dr
Man..I'm pre-diabetic and your videos are helping me realize that I must switch up my diet, but I am having such a hard time getting away from the carbs. I love bread and pancakes and biscuits..peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I always thought I was pretty healthy and didn't realize that some of these symptoms I am having(frequent urination, joint pain, and a few others) were diabetes related. I have to tackle it before it progresses, but it's tough.
Bleached Refined grains are toxic. Buy flour from Europe
Garden, collect spring water, live off earth the way God intended. Stop buying from grocery store
Dr. Berg I just want to thank you for all the wonderful, vital information you are giving people through these videos! I always share them with my daughter and really everyone who will listen. I have been doing clean keto for a little over a year now and I lost 30 lbs and loads of inches, feel much better too and I'm going on 68.
Wow 🤩👏👏👏
Thank you for this information. ❤
Great info. Thanks Dr. Berg 💜🌼

Thank you Dr Berg !
Thank you doctor.. this is the first time I am hearing/seeing this for diabetics.. Love from India 🎉🎉🎉
God bless you🙏 Dr Berg. Keep up with providing good information that other doctors disregard for the sake of prescribing pills where sometimes it can be corrected or controlled through other means, such as diet or supplements.
Thanks so much for sharing this information! I am hoping it can make some sort of difference for me as I continue to deal with Diabetes 2.
Thank you Dr. Berg!

You provide great info on all your topics but I’m really confused on what to really eat. 💕
Awesome video!
Great information! 👍 I will pass on to my dad who is a diabetic.
Dr Berg is one of my favorite go to TH-camrs for info to ponder. The advice vs mainstream turn style modern medical
professionals.
Hard to take advice from doctors who peddle drugs for Big Pharma or invasive surgeries that mess you up. Carry on Dr B. Love your intell.
I believe creme of tartar is loaded with potassium...
Potassium, help glucose to enter our cells..
5:47 potassium test
Potassium rich food: leafy green, avocado, beet top (high in oxalate)
Dr Berg could you do a video on sebaceous hyperplasia? How to get rid without expensive procedures, how to stop them forming. I suffer terribly for years, have tried everything possible to me, thank you.
Finally figured out my problem. I have white patches under my eyes and so did my mum. No doctor could tell me why , even a renal specialist. I found out through the internet that it was a lack of potassium. I told the renal doctor this. She said,’no” but within a minute said that my lab work showed that I had a lack of potassium. Why? I figured it out watching Dr Berg. I drank a mug of expresso coffee a day as did you mum. The coffee flushed out the potassium from my body. I ended up in Emergency while in the U.S. due to an overly high BP reading and a heartbeat of 106. I had been drinking up to 3 cups of hotel coffee a day and previously had really overindulged in chocolate bars and junk food. My blood sugar was elevated too for the first time in my life. I stopped the coffee and sugar for a month and the white patches are not as stark. These white patches show up in people who binge drink too. I also did not take potassium as I did not want to damage my kidneys.
Incredible.
Wow so coffee depletes potassium?
Asia Israel, probably as it depletes almost everything. I’ve been drinking coffee since I was one and I ramped up my use as I got older. I am now 76.
Thankyou and I send love
JUST discovered Dr. Berg's electrolyte formula on Amazon and ordered it! I really needed this video. Thank you!
Thank your dr berg you are a God sent . Regards : Dakalo in RSA.
Hey Dr. Berg and team, I've been watching your videos for a few months now and find the information so helpful. I haven't changed my diet fully, but I'm making a conscious effort to eat more greens and fish and fresh food.
I'm Irish so carbs are a big part of my diet. Now, I'm reducing my card intake slowly but surely. I'm trying to stick to 3 meals with no snacking as well.
My body definitely spikes after carbs and then when the level drops I'm hungry and snack. It's baby steps but I'm on the way.
I found the information about losing weight in menopause so helpful. Get healthy first and that's the most important thing. 💚🍀🌸
Keep up the good work! It’s worth it!!
Thanks alot dear Doctor,Allah Almighty keeps you prosperous here and hereafter, heartily grateful!!!
Thanks Dr Berg! 😉👍
Thanx again Dr Berg you are a star⭐
Thank you Dr . Berg :)
I gave a TEDx Talk on "The Art of Effective Communication"! Very applicable to this video!
You saved my life....thank you...
Wooow great great info. Potassium a necessary supplemen for diabetic people..had no idea..thaank you!!🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
Thank you very much. I am borderline diabetic . and obese due to medical problems. I have just started vit K to metabolise my very low D. I also have M.THF.R. Which stops my vit B so I need mentholated B but there are limited mentholated B vitamins. I had heard too much K is dangerous. But you have given the right quantity. Thank you as I can’t exercise. Robby Au
I watch your every video
Very interesting and valuable
Dear Dr. Berg, I love your explains, as a retired nurse, I know a few things, but discover also a few new ones! Please, could you recommend also foods for vegan people?
thank you, Dr. Berg.
You are very welcome.
Great info. Also digging the salt and pepper look 👀
Wow, thank you, so helpful! Dr Berg, you're a lifesave, you have helped me so much. Although, I wish I could shake these sugar cravings for my coffee.
Love the beard!
Thanks for the helpful information and content!
Dear doc Berg,I have learnt so much from your videos. Could I please request you to do a video on LBBB which in my case was discovered incidentally. There is not much data available on it .
Didn’t know about the relationship between potassium and bloodsugar, very helpful for me, thank you. Also, keep the beard, looks very good on you
Thank you for the video. I am T1D and can totally feel this video.
Glad to help!

So very interesting and mind blowing information. Potassium depleted by:
1. Glucose needs potassium to enter the cells as energy. Lack of potassium means glucose stays in the blood and blood sugar level rises, making a call for insulin release. Interesting that this is also the reason that athletes need more potassium for exercise as they need more glucose metabolized.
2. High sugar/refined carb diet which depletes potassium to store as fat. So, not only does a high carb/sugar diet create more fat but also reduces potassium stores. No carbs.
3. MSG, extra salty diet uses up potassium to excrete the sodium in your pee or sweat.
4. Diuretics from hypertension drugs reduces potassium.
5. Stress - creates Cortisol and Cortisol creates a potassium deficiency. No stress.
6. Being Diabetic means you need MUCH more potassium.
7. Exercise and sweating - you need MUCH more potassium. See #1.
Foods that have high Potassium content. You need 5000 mg per day:
Avocado 708 mg, Salmon 719 mg/ 1/2 fillet, Beet Greens 290 mg/cup, Greens 500 mg, Green Coconut water 500 mg/ cup, Tomatoes 300 medium, Potatoes 897 medium, Lima Beans, 955 mg/ cup, Watermelon 320 mg/slice, Swiss Chard 960 mg/cup cooked, Spinach 840 mg/cup cooked, bok choy 630 mg/ cup cooked, White Beans 600 mg/ half cup, whole lemon 80 mg/pulverized in a drink,
Great content as always

Very glad to be of help.
Hi Eric,
Could you kindly do a video on how to get most out of the up comming Ramadan. I'm thinking on how to take advantage of a 30 days of fasting session and how to benefit from ketosis and losing weight. What type of food would be best to eat in order not to feel that much hungry and kickstart the fat burn. Which types of fluids would be beneficial etc. in order words, how to get most out of a 30 day fasting session.
Thank You.
Regards Faraz,

Dr. Berg, your goatee accents your youthful health. Of course, either way, you're good looking.
Thank you for helping us with our health, Dr. Berg. It really does mean the world to us.
