Lost mine too. Suffered for years with a sick gallbladder and they kept saying no its fine or it was my thyroid and then they said it was fine, only to have had a wonderful doctor who figured it out and found my gallbladder was literally dieing inside of me. Now trying to eat healthy without a gallbladder has been a challenge.
I have bile salt malabsorbtion, my gastroenterologist told me the the bile salt goes straight through my system. You've told me more in 2 days than he did in 20 years. Thank you so much.. when people ask me who my doctor is I tell them Dr Berg.
Precisely my same experience... 7+ years of a naturopath has not led to any root cause diagnosis or explanation of countless treatments. Dr. Berg's presentations have been invaluable.
That is interesting Janet. If you don't mind me asking, what are your main symptoms- weight gain, floaters? Do you still have your gallbladder? Do you take anything? I lost my GB a few years back. I am still thin- BMI 21. I was in a lot of pain but no more after it's gone. I don't really miss it. I still eat mostly whatever I want.
@@MOAB-UT hi my pain was excruciating I was doubled up on the floor there was no consultation about it they just said we are whipping your gallbladder out. No symptoms before this. Since then I've ruled out certain pastries and bread, peas, and of cause tested for lactose intolerance which I wasn't before. Milky things go straight through, not nice but dr berg has been so informative wish he really was my doctor can't get to see ours in UK.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly! My BP can be strangely all over the place. It shoots up high for no known reason and then drops to normal. I am researching that it could be thyroid and gall bladder related. It's like Dr. Berg was reading my mind on this topic, lol
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your explanatory videos. My career has been as an analytical chemist. Biochemistry was judged too complex for undergrads, and my medical school texts don't talk about nutrition! You are filling a very critical gap in our education!
Wow! This helps bring light to my gallbladder/thyroid connection. Liver cancer surgery in 2010, gallbladder removed w/ cancer. absolute mental midget for years until removal of overactive parathyroid gland. Within months I was once again able to rejoin the workforce and live again.
💯Dr. Berg has a voice I can listen to every day without getting tired of hearing! Reminds me of my Pops voice, not too loud or too low. PERFECT! Thanks, Sir, for this great information! ☺️
I listen to these videos even if they have nothing to do with me because they are explained so well and his voice is very calming and easy to listen to.
Thanks for this video. Now finally all makes sense. I have Hashimotos for 10 years now, and for about the same time Ive always had high HDL cholesterol values that nobody could explain to me. Now gonna try to take bile salts and drinking bitter teas everyday. Lets see if that helps 🙌
Be sure to research a top surgeon. That is likely in her future- not 100% but likely. I waited and it popped. It is super important to have a good surgeon to avoid future issues. What state are you in?
@@auntyj68 Just be 100% your surgeon is top notch. Ask around from people who went to that doctor if possible- talk to nurses in that hospital if at all possible. Not just online- that is not a good way to know. Not by how nice he/she is or how smart they sound. I can't help you in TX with names. Board Certified and FELLOWSHIP TRAINED are good things to look for.
Had gallbladder removed in 2019, had recent thyroid surgery, now taking Levothyroxine for hashimotos that was recently discovered. Gluten free has helped tremendously as does ox bile for no gallbladder. Very interesting connections in video.
Well as your thyroid was not producing enough hormones, it affected your gallbladder, the entire body need a good functioning thyroid. What is interesting is why some people have their thyroid removed and doesn't seem to have other health issues, and some people have their gallbladder removed without have had ANY issues with their thyroid?? Then this connection Dr Berg is talking about doesn't make any sense. My dad had gallbladder removed few decades ago and never had any problems with the thyroid. Each person is different what his saying doesn't apply.
@1977curt. Please check to see if you have the MTHFR variation as it will contribute to both problems. Once your body starts to detox correctly, many health issues will resolve. Cheers.
Just be careful with any and all meds...and labels designed to get you to take their meds. Levothyroxine can, over time lead to SIBO and stomach issues. Diet has helped MANY people with that. Do you want to share what you generally eat and drink? I am good at nutrition and I will give you my opinion. Note, I am not a doc, this is not advice but I like to help if I can.
That was excellent. Thank you very much! I have long addressed the entire ecosystem of needs. Thyroid, adrenal, liver/gallbladder, and testosterone. Keep pushing them all in the right direction, on a daily basis, and things get better. None of these organs and systems stand alone. Nothing is isolated.
Found this channel two weeks ago and have been watching a few a day. Have done low carb since the 70's, and now have it going again for the first time in too long. Thanks. I'm with you now.
Goodness, this was informative. My mother had all of the problems mentioned here (hypothyroidism, painful pancreatitis, and then gall bladder removal) Coincidentally, yesterday I had a thyroid blood test done by an independent lab because I think I have minor symptoms. I have insurance, but it's a long story. I appreciate this information because I can get on the eating program as well as other things advised and keep myself healthy. A million thanks!!
How is he doing. Does he take an Digestive Enzyme w/Ox Bile? I do sometimes- big meals. Otherwise I don't see much difference. Ask him it if floats (not good- not absorbing fat.) He will know what you mean.
@@MOAB-UT Thanks for asking 😊. He is fine. No he does not take any digestive enzyme. He is a foodie person. He is always ready to take me on a culinary journey and it's an amazing experience. The only thing I might have to do is portion control and watch his weight.
Thank you, I had no idea of the connection, my gall bladder was removed because a gallstones got stuck in the neck of my gall bladder. No doctor explained this to me so thank you for informing me.
6 yrs ago I figured out this connection on my own!!! Thyroid medicine was a miracle to get my Thyroid and gallbladder in sync, and not be affected by high fat intake. I've had 3 large gallstones for 30 yrs...I continue to keep my gallbladder and my Thyroid gland.
Thx. Had thyroid-hypo. Accident (airplane) caused several organs including gall bladder to fall out of pelvic girdle, 47 yrs ago. Big mess all this time. Keep getting better. Have auto-immune, son has hashimoto’s. After COVID-almost 3 yrs- in UIHC Post COVID Clinic, doing better than others w/ no UIHC treatments ! Learned a lot.
Thank you very much, Dr. Berg! I wish I'd found your channel years ago before having my gallbladder removed. It's upsetting to know now there were things I could have done and not have it removed. Now, it's so hard to loss weight. Fatty belly. Please make a video for people without gallbladder. Please.
Ironically, I lost mine and cannot GAIN weight. BMI is 21- in range but skinny. Not cool look for a man. Think Steve Jobs. someone actually called me a cancer patient recently- felt really great. Especially when I work out and work hard to eat high quality nutrition every day like it's my job. Life is not always fair but I am still here. Don't worry- you likely made the right decision. It likely would have kept getting stones. The root cause could have been other things that were beyond your control but who really knows.
Bless your heart, Dr. Berg. My doctor wouldn't tell me if I had a booger hanging out of my nostril bc she'd be afraid it would lead to her having to treat something...let alone tell me about the gallbladder/thyroid connection. BUT I have a good story regarding that. A year ago I started to get severe pain near the location of my gallbladder. Fast forward I developed hypothyroidism. There's a lot in-between.
I just love to watch your videos doc thank you for educating us about health and about the thyroid connection and gallbladder . You are a blessing to many of us and im so grateful to have found you here . I love you
Such an amazing video!! Thank you! I have suffered from hypothyroidism for years after multiple years on the bar B.C. and a few years ago had to have an emergency cholecystectomy as a result of all of it. Now am a cirrhosis patient awaiting transplant: everything is now making so much sense. I’ve seen multiple specialists for years now and you summed up what they have never told me in all of that time in less than 10 mins. You are absolutely amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the knowledge you bring to each and every one of us.
The biggest thing for me on the keto eating.... I wasn't getting enough fat. I would walk around hungry 2 min after I ate. Added fat I ate less and was not hungry again for 6 to 7 hours.... Fat is vitally important for me ...
As you progress, you will find the time between meals increases. Took me about six months to go from three meals plus snacks to one meal and a light snack per day. Any more than that results in feeling bloated and uncomfortable. So you should find yourself eventually eating during a 4 hour window and sometimes a 2 hour window. Salt and electrolytes will eliminate any dizziness during the transition to fat burning. Best of 2023 to you
Thank you for the info, I’m sick and tired of finding out other things that hypothyroidism might cause on my own. Why do doctors not tell any of this to their patients?? It took almost 2 yrs for my hypothyroid to be diagnosed. I am always asking questions about my labs if I notice something. It’s so frustrating.😡
I don't know where you are situated, but I'm in the UK. Doctors and Endocrinologists here are hopeless, closed minds and if you ask anything you are seen as a troublemaker and shut down. I had to find out what helped me from the charity Thyroid UK.
Find a naturopathic MD or functional medicine practice near you, asap! Conventional medical practitioners will allow the cascade associated with these symptoms to go on for years. I know from experience! Best of luck.
i started using your bile product, i suffer with fatty liver also sleep apnea, I've noticed my gut is improving, but also my saliva has improved, also my sleep apneas has been reduced,
After all these years. The screen with T4 to T3 needing bile for the conversion was a shock. I had to pause the screen to have a mini melt down. Thank you!
I could not agree more with you on the importance of looking at all the factors instead of turning to prescription meds! Thank you so very much for the detailed breakdown of information that you do! You are amazing. ❤
After 7+ years with a naturopath (11 years previous of unhelpful conventional doctors pushing Prozac & Zelnorm), this is the first time I've gotten any explanation of WHY I am not converting T4 to T3. I took Armour for years until CV-19 supply chain issues. I've taken NaturThroid since. Simply taking a naturally sourced, not synthetic form of thyroid supplementation has made no difference in conversion. I've learned more in 2 weeks of finding Dr. Berg's channel than in all my medical consultations & years of my own research! Thank you.
armour is natural from dessicated pigs thyroid, it has t4, t3, t2, t1 and calcitonin it works better than prescription synthetics like levoxy something and cytomel
@TL since Armour production was offshored & reformulated, I did not find it as effective as it was previously. It was under a recall in late 2019 & then I had supply/availability issues once it became accessible. During that time is when I had to switch to Naturthroid. I took Armour for 5 years. I refuse to take synthetics.
@TL out-of-pocket about $150 for 3 months of 120mg tablets, but every time I go it's gone up substantially (still way cheap as meds go). My doctor had cut me back to 1/2 tabs, so the last refill lasted 6 months. I'm trying to go off it right now & try a different non-pharmaceutical approach. We'll see how that goes... last try I didn't have the more thorough info that Berg has provided. Maybe longer success this time. The reason I'm trying this is that my weight went up in the last year despite carnivore & OMAD, hair was falling out & other symptoms once helped by thyroid meds were getting much worse.
@@julieannmyers8714 Thai brand Thyroid-S is like armour , i am using that since june 2021 its also natural and has t4, t3, t2, t1, calcitonin 60mg tablet has 38mcg of t4 and 9mcg of t3 i get it from the thai sellers on ebay, 500 tablets for $180 now, used to be about $70 and then kept increasing every 3-4 months
Gallbladder has been gone for 15 years. I’ve always eaten a healthy diet with exception to homemade bread and pasta twice a month. Exercise hard for an 1 hour a day. Always felt tired little sluggish. Yes, doctor would say your eyes are yellowing. You must have jaundice. Never recommended anything. Now, the last 3 years I have become menopausal. Thyroid aches all the time. I just started healthy keto and interment fasting in February. I feel so much better. I lost 20 pounds . (Was 170) I had been taking bile salts a few times a week. I never realized I needed them with every meal! I just thought liver was doing it. Thank you so much Dr Berg!😊
Perfect timing! I have been issues with my thyroid and my gall bladder (stones). I'm taking bile salts to help. I'm getting more serious about my keto lifestyle. How long will it take to correct these problems?
Thank you Doc for talking about alternative ways to treat hypothyroidism!!! It's a shame so many are treated by continued focus on ONLY T4... the whole treatment protocol needs reworked. So glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Dr berg can you make a video on how to prevent an immune response/reaction? People with autoimmune diseases would appreciate this one unless you’ve done one already…
The number one way to combat autoimmune conditions is to do a full carnivore diet. Just beef steak, salt, eggs if you can eat them, butter, maybe some fish like sardines. This is an extreme elimination diet that also provides a ton of nutrients. Do this until your issues resolve, then reintroduce foods slowly and pay attention to what might be adversely affecting your body. Lectins, milk proteins, and egg proteins are common autoimmune triggers. To learn more about the carnivore diet, visit the youtube channels of Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, and Dr. Anthony Chaffee.
@@SoulerousI never knew until very recently that eggs can be a big issue for people, and I've decided to stop eating them and my energy levels have been so much better, I was constantly feeling fatigued and also I suffer from adult acne and majority of what I was getting around my jaw ear area has mostly gone..that along with cutting out gluten and dairy has helped massively
Dr. Berg, thank you so much. I watch you regularly and tell others to watch you. Thanks for filling in the gap that has been empty so long. Words cannot describe what a great service you bring to everyone for free. Thank you again. God Bless you and your family.
What about people who have had their thyroid removed. I had my surgery in 2015 and haven't felt the same since--digestive issues and fatigue are my biggest problems. I see so many health videos about improving thyroid function, but I've never seen one that addresses how to live on thyroid hormone replacement drugs.
Well this is very interesting - when I was 30 I had gallbladder removed full of stones much pain! when I was 45 my thryroid went crazy - Hypo - affected my heart (AFIB) - after years of not getting AFIB under control - my thryroid was radiated and I take meds to provide thyroid hormones - I have been overweight since a teen and have struggled to get my weight under control - still trying at 63 - just switched to a low carb/keto style diet - focussed on veg and protein with no or few grains/sugar. It is interesting to see how the gall bladder and thyroid are so connected. Thanks for the info.
Dr. Berg thank you for this! I'm healthy ~18-20% b.f., I watch my diet (I eat seafood/meat & healthy fats) and weight lift 5x a week. I've been hypo for years taking synthriod & I now have gallstones. My bloodwork also shows high AM cortisol.
Sorry. It is common for new moms- did you know that? I am not quick to run to surgery but I had mine out. It was popped. Technically, ruptured. Lucky I did not die or develop pancreatitis. You don't want that for sure. Read up about it.
Your information is incredible!! You are my absolute go-to to find any medical information I may need. I am needing information on why I keep getting burst blood vessels in my fingers. It doesn't happen super often, but when it does it is very painful.......and I don't see any info regarding this on your channel. May God bless you with peace, happiness and a very long, healthy life!
I was diagnosed with subclinincal hypothyroidism after having my gall badder removed. The surgery is something I regret , knowing what I know now. Not once during my gallbladder problem was my thyroid considered, despite a long family history of Hashimotos and symptoms I had been having for years related to thyroid dysfunction. Even now, there are few professionals that I have dealt with who seem to recognize the connections between all parts of the body and how dysfunction in one area can cause a cascade of problems in other parts of the body.
Good morning Dr Berg thankyou for all of your videos you are making a huge difference in people's life! Can you please, do a video on how to clear an ear thats been congested from blowing your nose with suffering a sinus congestion! I am constantly hearing my heartbeat in my left ears! It gets scary sometimes! I also had this weird dizzy feelings could not sit up, so I got the Epiley maneuver done. I am feeling okay with that but my left ear is feeling congested and I cannot hear too well with it. Thankyou you again! Love and God bless!
My tsh levels are around 19 but my serum t3 and t4 levels are all within range .my vitamin d3 is always deficient and my liver enzymes are a little raised .My Dhea-s is also low . I have absolutely no energy , very less focus and neck and shoulder pain .i have floaters in my eyes .. i don't know why do I feel miserable all the time when my t3 and t4 are just fine .Your videos are so informative. You are really a godsend.
I know at least two people close to me who now have gallbladder issues since all those boosters we all know and I googled gallbladder issues and read that it was connected to the boosters, so it’s interesting you raise this medical condition 😉😉
I went on a low fat mostly vegetable diet for several months. Then I developed gall bladder/digestive issues; plus some pancreas disfunction. I was constantly tired and cold. Deciding that this diet wasn’t working, I started eating grass fed beef and wild venison. My digestive issue disappeared and my body isn’t so cold any more. Plus my energy levels perked up. I came to the conclusion that low fat diets seriously interfered with my bile production and function. And then I encountered this video.
I've seen a video of his that explains this... in the archives. Sorry, I don't have the link, but I watched it within the past 2 weeks. Or did you already find that one?
All I know Benfotiamine goes through the brain and helps more than thiamin. Thiamin is water soluble so with diabetes, it wouldn’t last much since they pee a whole more than non diabetic people.
The only thing my doctor says smiling while reading my test results. Your Fine. All good!!!!!!! Every Single Time. When I'm feeling Exhausted. Depressed etc. Beyond exasperating.
That's what they kept telling me even though I had classic symptoms of hypothyroidism for most of my life. My TSH had to finally reach 20 for regular MD's to take notice. Don't give up. Start healng your body now go gluten free at the very least.
@@tjjurake3506 thank you. Yes I've been trying that. But I fall back into the biscuits after a while. They got me through depression. But caused other problems. Them Dann biscuits. Drats. I'm going to start making my own. Healthy ones
@@lynkinealy2926 Try gluten free flour. Try only to eat them as a treat. I can't let go of sugar and coffee. We all have weaknesses. Love yourself and work on your health a day at a time. You're worth it after all! Don't forget your Vit D and daily dose of Dr. Berg's advice.☺
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🌈 Thank you so much for sharing this Interesting Information with everyone , Have a wonderful day . May God continue to bless you all 💜❤ 🙏 2 / 3 / 2023🙏
My gallbladder was removed because of stones. Whenever I take fat soluble vitamines, I take your Gallbladder formula and that helps me absorbing these vitamines really well. Thank you Dr Berg
I wish I had seen this video sooner! Makes so much sense! Ty!!!!!! 💜. I just recently found the connection between the animal fat breakdown & the correlation of the production of (acetylcholine) necessary for proper brain function as well as other things like hormones & this fits for the issue with thyroid as well so all the puzzle pieces are coming together. Ty so much for your help! My family just switched to a more keto diet due to the information I found from the American heart association & the journals from neurology & nephrology. Ty again so much for this explanation which is right on point!!!!!!
what is not mentioned that: 1. for normal tyroid function you need enough iodine - best use lugols solution about 25mg per day - this is 200x of RDA 2. Iodine is basic building material for all hormones, not just t4 and t3 3. T4=>T3 Conversion is only possible if the body has enough vitamin B, Magnesium and Selenium! 4. Iodine is renewing all mucus and intestines walls It is a closed circuit, but it starts with suplementation and food. Search for iodine loading protocol! -it helps hypo and hyper tyroidism, in case person has hasimotos glutene is to be avoided and additional supplementation of Selenium is needed. Also bad liver function could be the reason why Hydrogen peroxide is not neutralised and additional Homocisteine is present in the blood. Excessive Hydrogen peroxide is causing damage in the tyroid tissue in case of hasimoto and causes the body to fight damaged tissue with the antibodies.
I was diagnoised with Hypothyroidism at 5-6yrs old. I never had any gallbladder issues UNTIL I had my oldest child at age 28. And my attacks were so bad I thought an alien from the aliens vs predator movie was about to burst out of me 😖😳😅...I was on all fours almost dead ( I'm exaggerating) for about 15-30min at times. I'm almost 34 and haven't had one in about 1-2 years thank goodness! Gallbladder attacks hurt. Not worse than shingles (I had that too while pregnant. But that's another story for another video 🤗!) Thanks Dr. Berg for doing the research for us! We appreciate you! 💜🙌
Dr. Berg is the best! Could you please make a video about all supplements and minerals/vitamins you are taking every day and when, before or after meal and times? Thanks in advance
Hi dr berg. Have. Been on synthroid for about 15 years, have been on keto for the last two years since following your channel . Get my blood work twice a year for TSH Seems controlled by the medication, wondering if I need it now since I’m always in ketosis. What’s a good talking point for my next drs visit.
It's as if you are writing the videos for me peronsonally at the moment! On carnivore diet and having bile and thyroid symptoms so thank you for the information 🙏
Are you overweight? If anything, at a BMI of 21, I am underweight (not technically by the chart.) I struggle to gain weight. I would love an extra 10lbs. I'll take whatever you are giving away! Do you do IF? If not, you very likely should. 18:6. Drink more water. Eat healthy FATS to get THIN. It's a book.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Yes. I joined recently for exactly this reason. No point in gaining 10lbs. of fat for the sake of the scale. Weight alone is generally a poor indicator of metabolic health. I want lean muscle. I now lift about 5 days a week but nothing crazy at all. I warm up with 1 mile walk w/2 bursts up to 6mph just to get my heart going. They also have a basketball court and pool. I do a total body workout including abs. It is very important structurally to have a strong core. I also use resistance bands and stretches. My weight gain is still hard to come by. Last night at a party, I was embarrassed yet again. In front of everyone yet another person commented, "you look thin." I said "yes I am." He said...Ok, I just hope it is intentional (as if to say, you look SICK.) Does not make me feel good. Truth be told, I believe I am quite healthy. In Asia, I would fit right in. The issue is, we are not in Asia. Everyone at that table had a BMI of about 40-60 so their lens was a little altered. Still, I would like to gain that extra 10lbs. of muscle! BMI is now 21, up from 20. On the chart, 21 it is technically ideal (in the middle of the green band), but my clothes feel better around a BMI of 22-23 and I feel better- get less comments too.
Alcohol use also affects your cortisol levels and thyroid. I was sub-clinical hypo via blood test (not tired, not overweight, no hair loss, ate clean my whole life. Zero symptoms!) Doc prescribed me levo and I didn’t want to take it. Threw it away. He also prescribed med for high BP. I quit alcohol. That’s all I did. No more high BP and thyroid is fine. Glad I didn’t take the meds and went with my own theory to fix my issues. Thanks for your great vids! I’m a big fan of finding the root cause of disorders.
Thank you Dr. Berg I have hypothyroidism, I've been taking pills for 46 years now. I've been trying to wean myself off the pills. I started taking Selenium and I just rec'd your Adrenal & Cortisol Support. I just wanted to tell you that you're so right about grains, I CANNOT lose weight if I eat grains. I stopped eating bread, pasta, and rice that's the only way I can lose weight. Dr. Berg is 🌟AWESOME🌟
If you've been on thyroid meds that long, you won't be able to go without them, you will need them for life. Because now your thyroid won't produce any hormones on it's on. Be careful.
Hi ,I do too have HYPOTHYROIDISM, I even found out through watching Dr Berg. YES HE IS SO true on that ,so i follow everything he ever said about it.Since I'm in menopause the way is slow ,but I'm not doing keto yet I'm doing low carb ,I make my own bread since sourdough I make gluten free bread with lentils or Coconut flour or buckwheat, and millet.very good very well, yes I do take many supplements but there is a big IMPROVEMENT, i do fast a lot .my only problem is negligent on routine exercise but I move around .I'm more happier,calm collected really ,keep a POSITIVE attitude on things but realizing and adjusting to my slowness because the thyroid issue but yet I do occupy myself anyway I cannot be without vitamins D3/K2, potassium, magnesium, ashwagandha, omega3 milk thistle, choline, collagen vit E,A,C,probiotics, but mostly B12 along as well nutritional yeast, this is in short then the thyroid main things iodine, zinc,selenium, betaine Hcl. kelp,berberine,chlorela ,wheatgrass juice.
@@ketherwhale6126 Sadly no ,but sourdough gluten free ,I have been there ,yes I used to make sourdough only ,but with my thyroid something was missing, until I pay attention, about still the gluten effect on it ,then I switch to only gluten free ,but once spring return I will return to sourdough without any gluten .Gluten or carb or wheat is so bad with thyroid.
You are the best doctor and should be considered the best Registered dietitian as well! Am studying for my RD exam and learning a lot from you. Please if you have training or mentorship you are offering I am interested.
It's so crazy I've been going the rounds on all of this thyroid, menopause, gallbladder! Come to find out Menopause causes gallbladder problems. Tudca is what I started taking
I don’t have gallbladder anymore what happens if I don’t have it anymore and what I can do to make it better. Love all your videos I learn a lot thank you 😊
I always had high cholesterol and for this reason I was avoiding fats. Later on they saw sludge in my gallbladder which surprised me. Then my hair and eyebrows! started falling out like crazy. Nothing was helping. And half a year later I developed bile reflux, feeling of a lump in my throat, like something was stuck there, couldn’t eat, food phobia, couldn’t digest meat and fats at all. Bloating, burping. I was diagnosed with GERD and sluggish gallbladder, LES and sphincter of Oddie malfunction. My thyroid antibodies and thyroid hormones were high. I was told I’m having a beginner stage of hypothyroidism and was put on Levothyroxine. I also added Betaine hcl and digestive enzymes. Still can’t eat things like Mayo, nuts, creamy stuff, fat meats. But overall feeling 99% better. My hair and nails finally growing back
Thank you Dr berg. I’ve been following you for almost a year and have lost over 45 pounds and maintained it for 6 months. It seems I always pick little nuggets of information in each video. Today I looks like fat needs bile and bile needs fat. I know when I get a little too heavy on the dietary fat my stomach lets me know I’m thinking not enough bile for the amount of fat I consumed. I also didn’t realize you get more bile from a animal protein. I’ve heard as you get older, I’m over 55 that you need to consume more protein? Can you clarify please.
Be careful with that weight loss Jeff. I did almost exactly the same as you and lost my gallbladder- learned it was very common. I lost 45 in a year- running and eating leaner. I probably could have eaten more fat. I tried going vegan. I liked the idea of it ethically, but it nearly killed me. Now I eat meat and some veg. and I feel very good.
@@jeffthomas6105 That is what I thought. Leaf's are not always so healthy- many contain bad things that could be part of your problem. I would try an elimination diet if I were you- slowly, never all at once. Kale for ex. is an anti-nutrient and can block absorption of good vitamins. Spinach is very high in Oxalates (kidney. stones.) Read The Plant Paradox sometime. Never Almonds or Soy or Whole Grains I hope. All bad. I would focus more on Healthy fats e.g., GRASS FED meats and WILD CAUGHT (only) SALMON and see how you feel after a month.
yup dealing with thyroid problems now. after having severe back pain and taking extremely hot showers for days for about a 3rd of the first half of 2022. Trying now to get back into Wim hof and keto.
Can Dr berg tell about lpr(silent reflux)and how to cure it?it affects throat also and itchy ,hope Dr berg help how to cure itchy throat that cause coughing
Can you make a video for people who don’t have a gallbladder please?
I would like to know the same!
Well, I have a gallbladder, but no thyroid. Thyroid levels yo-yo. 🤦♀️
Yes..mi need that too!
Yes, he’s made a few videos on living without a gallbladder ❤

Yeah, my thoughts exactly! My BP can be strangely all over the place. It shoots up high for no known reason and then drops to normal. I am researching that it could be thyroid and gall bladder related. It's like Dr. Berg was reading my mind on this topic, lol
That's because he's actually an AI avatar of the Singularity, each person's videos are tailored to their specific needs, I'm also a bot.
Thank you Dr. Berg.🙏🏻
I really appreciate all you've done for our family. You're making a big difference in people's lives.
Very glad to be of help.
Agree 💯%
Yes! I have an issue I go to Dr. Berg.
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for your explanatory videos. My career has been as an analytical chemist. Biochemistry was judged too complex for undergrads, and my medical school texts don't talk about nutrition! You are filling a very critical gap in our education!
When we need to know about it, the info. is available.
Unbelievable! This is exactly what has been going on! How did my doctor not figure this out?? Thank you Dr Berg!
No problem. Hope the info here will help you.
Wow! This helps bring light to my gallbladder/thyroid connection. Liver cancer surgery in 2010, gallbladder removed w/ cancer. absolute mental midget for years until removal of overactive parathyroid gland. Within months I was once again able to rejoin the workforce and live again.
Congrats Bob- success story! You are a warrior!
Bless your Soul. Wishing you Wellness & Joy 💗
💯Dr. Berg has a voice I can listen to every day without getting tired of hearing! Reminds me of my Pops voice, not too loud or too low. PERFECT! Thanks, Sir, for this great information! ☺️
Very glad to be of help.
I listen to these videos even if they have nothing to do with me because they are explained so well and his voice is very calming and easy to listen to.
Thanks for this video. Now finally all makes sense. I have Hashimotos for 10 years now, and for about the same time Ive always had high HDL cholesterol values that nobody could explain to me. Now gonna try to take bile salts and drinking bitter teas everyday. Lets see if that helps 🙌
What muchasalud2011 said ☝️
Any update ?
Hope you made progress with bile salts & bitter teas. Did it help?
Your timing is perfect. My mom was in the ER yesterday for gallstones.
Be sure to research a top surgeon. That is likely in her future- not 100% but likely. I waited and it popped. It is super important to have a good surgeon to avoid future issues. What state are you in?
My mom lives in the Virgin Islands, more than likely she will have to come to Houston, TX where I live for surgery.
@@auntyj68 Just be 100% your surgeon is top notch. Ask around from people who went to that doctor if possible- talk to nurses in that hospital if at all possible. Not just online- that is not a good way to know. Not by how nice he/she is or how smart they sound. I can't help you in TX with names. Board Certified and FELLOWSHIP TRAINED are good things to look for.
@@auntyj68 Please check Dr Berg’s videos on gallstones ❤
Had gallbladder removed in 2019, had recent thyroid surgery, now taking Levothyroxine for hashimotos that was recently discovered. Gluten free has helped tremendously as does ox bile for no gallbladder. Very interesting connections in video.
is that TUDCA u now take?
Becoming increasingly alarmed at the rate of surgery’s recommended as the first course of action.
Well as your thyroid was not producing enough hormones, it affected your gallbladder, the entire body need a good functioning thyroid. What is interesting is why some people have their thyroid removed and doesn't seem to have other health issues, and some people have their gallbladder removed without have had ANY issues with their thyroid?? Then this connection Dr Berg is talking about doesn't make any sense. My dad had gallbladder removed few decades ago and never had any problems with the thyroid. Each person is different what his saying doesn't apply.
@1977curt. Please check to see if you have the MTHFR variation as it will contribute to both problems. Once your body starts to detox correctly, many health issues will resolve. Cheers.
Just be careful with any and all meds...and labels designed to get you to take their meds. Levothyroxine can, over time lead to SIBO and stomach issues. Diet has helped MANY people with that. Do you want to share what you generally eat and drink? I am good at nutrition and I will give you my opinion. Note, I am not a doc, this is not advice but I like to help if I can.
That was excellent. Thank you very much! I have long addressed the entire ecosystem of needs. Thyroid, adrenal, liver/gallbladder, and testosterone. Keep pushing them all in the right direction, on a daily basis, and things get better. None of these organs and systems stand alone. Nothing is isolated.
Good point there Lance.
I've noticed that I keep getting refills on my meds but the doctors have not addressed how to end dependency on them!
Found this channel two weeks ago and have been watching a few a day. Have done low carb since the 70's, and now have it going again for the first time in too long. Thanks. I'm with you now.
Goodness, this was informative. My mother had all of the problems mentioned here (hypothyroidism, painful pancreatitis, and then gall bladder removal) Coincidentally, yesterday I had a thyroid blood test done by an independent lab because I think I have minor symptoms. I have insurance, but it's a long story. I appreciate this information because I can get on the eating program as well as other things advised and keep myself healthy. A million thanks!!
Diet is key for sure.
You'll never know just how much I needed to see this video. All the pieces of the puzzle easily fell into place. Thank you!!!
My husband had his gallbladder removed many years ago. I appreciate all the knowledge you share. Thank you Dr Berg for your splendid videos.
How is he doing. Does he take an Digestive Enzyme w/Ox Bile? I do sometimes- big meals. Otherwise I don't see much difference. Ask him it if floats (not good- not absorbing fat.) He will know what you mean.
@@MOAB-UT Thanks for asking 😊. He is fine. No he does not take any digestive enzyme. He is a foodie person. He is always ready to take me on a culinary journey and it's an amazing experience. The only thing I might have to do is portion control and watch his weight.
Thank you, I had no idea of the connection, my gall bladder was removed because a gallstones got stuck in the neck of my gall bladder. No doctor explained this to me so thank you for informing me.
You're very welcome. Glad you found the video helpful.
Hi Dr. Burg, just wanted to express my most sincere gratitude to you for selflessly posting all of this information here.
Thank you!!
Nery.
6 yrs ago I figured out this connection on my own!!!
Thyroid medicine was a miracle to get my Thyroid and gallbladder in sync, and not be affected by high fat intake.
I've had 3 large gallstones for 30 yrs...I continue to keep my gallbladder and my Thyroid gland.
Good!
Thx. Had thyroid-hypo. Accident (airplane) caused several organs including gall bladder to fall out of pelvic girdle, 47 yrs ago. Big mess all this time. Keep getting better. Have auto-immune, son has hashimoto’s. After COVID-almost 3 yrs- in UIHC Post COVID Clinic, doing better than others w/ no UIHC treatments ! Learned a lot.
Thank you very much, Dr. Berg! I wish I'd found your channel years ago before having my gallbladder removed. It's upsetting to know now there were things I could have done and not have it removed. Now, it's so hard to loss weight. Fatty belly. Please make a video for people without gallbladder. Please.
Another commenter with removal of gallbladder mentioned taking ox bile as a supplement.
Might be worth some research!
Here's some videos that may help!

Ironically, I lost mine and cannot GAIN weight. BMI is 21- in range but skinny. Not cool look for a man. Think Steve Jobs. someone actually called me a cancer patient recently- felt really great. Especially when I work out and work hard to eat high quality nutrition every day like it's my job. Life is not always fair but I am still here.
Don't worry- you likely made the right decision. It likely would have kept getting stones. The root cause could have been other things that were beyond your control but who really knows.
He’s made multiple videos on how to live without a gallbladder ❤
Bless your heart, Dr. Berg. My doctor wouldn't tell me if I had a booger hanging out of my nostril bc she'd be afraid it would lead to her having to treat something...let alone tell me about the gallbladder/thyroid connection. BUT I have a good story regarding that. A year ago I started to get severe pain near the location of my gallbladder. Fast forward I developed hypothyroidism. There's a lot in-between.
I just love to watch your videos doc thank you for educating us about health and about the thyroid connection and gallbladder . You are a blessing to many of us and im so grateful to have found you here . I love you
Such an amazing video!! Thank you! I have suffered from hypothyroidism for years after multiple years on the bar B.C. and a few years ago had to have an emergency cholecystectomy as a result of all of it. Now am a cirrhosis patient awaiting transplant: everything is now making so much sense. I’ve seen multiple specialists for years now and you summed up what they have never told me in all of that time in less than 10 mins. You are absolutely amazing and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the knowledge you bring to each and every one of us.
Have you checked each videos he made on cirrhosis and on he liver?
The biggest thing for me on the keto eating.... I wasn't getting enough fat. I would walk around hungry 2 min after I ate. Added fat I ate less and was not hungry again for 6 to 7 hours.... Fat is vitally important for me ...
What do u use?
you can eat fat on a keto diet.
Eggs keep me full for hours.
As you progress, you will find the time between meals increases. Took me about six months to go from three meals plus snacks to one meal and a light snack per day. Any more than that results in feeling bloated and uncomfortable. So you should find yourself eventually eating during a 4 hour window and sometimes a 2 hour window. Salt and electrolytes will eliminate any dizziness during the transition to fat burning. Best of 2023 to you
@@jobalogo383 nuts have good fat.
Thank you for the info, I’m sick and tired of finding out other things that hypothyroidism might cause on my own. Why do doctors not tell any of this to their patients?? It took almost 2 yrs for my hypothyroid to be diagnosed. I am always asking questions about my labs if I notice something.
It’s so frustrating.😡
I don't know where you are situated, but I'm in the UK. Doctors and Endocrinologists here are hopeless, closed minds and if you ask anything you are seen as a troublemaker and shut down. I had to find out what helped me from the charity Thyroid UK.
Find a naturopathic MD or functional medicine practice near you, asap! Conventional medical practitioners will allow the cascade associated with these symptoms to go on for years.
I know from experience!
Best of luck.
Glad to help!

I could not agree more with you on the importance of looking at all the factors instead of turning to prescription meds! Thank you so very much for the detailed breakdown of information that you do! You are amazing. ❤
No problem. Glad to share info that can help you all. Take care.
After 7+ years with a naturopath (11 years previous of unhelpful conventional doctors pushing Prozac & Zelnorm), this is the first time I've gotten any explanation of WHY I am not converting T4 to T3.
I took Armour for years until CV-19 supply chain issues. I've taken NaturThroid since.
Simply taking a naturally sourced, not synthetic form of thyroid supplementation has made no difference in conversion.
I've learned more in 2 weeks of finding Dr. Berg's channel than in all my medical consultations & years of my own research!
Thank you.
armour is natural from dessicated pigs thyroid, it has t4, t3, t2, t1 and calcitonin
it works better than prescription synthetics like levoxy something and cytomel
@TL since Armour production was offshored & reformulated, I did not find it as effective as it was previously. It was under a recall in late 2019 & then I had supply/availability issues once it became accessible. During that time is when I had to switch to Naturthroid.
I took Armour for 5 years.
I refuse to take synthetics.
@@julieannmyers8714 how much does Naturthroid cost
@TL out-of-pocket about $150 for 3 months of 120mg tablets, but every time I go it's gone up substantially (still way cheap as meds go).
My doctor had cut me back to 1/2 tabs, so the last refill lasted 6 months.
I'm trying to go off it right now & try a different non-pharmaceutical approach.
We'll see how that goes... last try I didn't have the more thorough info that Berg has provided. Maybe longer success this time.
The reason I'm trying this is that my weight went up in the last year despite carnivore & OMAD, hair was falling out & other symptoms once helped by thyroid meds were getting much worse.
@@julieannmyers8714 Thai brand Thyroid-S is like armour , i am using that since june 2021
its also natural and has t4, t3, t2, t1, calcitonin
60mg tablet has 38mcg of t4 and 9mcg of t3
i get it from the thai sellers on ebay, 500 tablets for $180 now, used to be about $70 and then kept increasing every 3-4 months
Gallbladder has been gone for 15 years. I’ve always eaten a healthy diet with exception to homemade bread and pasta twice a month. Exercise hard for an 1 hour a day. Always felt tired little sluggish. Yes, doctor would say your eyes are yellowing. You must have jaundice. Never recommended anything. Now, the last 3 years I have become menopausal. Thyroid aches all the time. I just started healthy keto and interment fasting in February. I feel so much better. I lost 20 pounds . (Was 170) I had been taking bile salts a few times a week. I never realized I needed them with every meal! I just thought liver was doing it. Thank you so much Dr Berg!😊

Perfect timing! I have been issues with my thyroid and my gall bladder (stones). I'm taking bile salts to help. I'm getting more serious about my keto lifestyle. How long will it take to correct these problems?
For more information about this please visit Dr. Berg's YT channel.
It's scary how many gallbladders and thyroids are removed without no reason and how many secondary problems that cause...
Thank you Doc for talking about alternative ways to treat hypothyroidism!!! It's a shame so many are treated by continued focus on ONLY T4... the whole treatment protocol needs reworked. So glad I stumbled upon your channel.
Once again, another awesome video. Very informative. Happy healthy to everyone and thank you Dr. Berg.
I can usually understand your videos but this was one of the hardest ones to understand.
Dr berg can you make a video on how to prevent an immune response/reaction? People with autoimmune diseases would appreciate this one unless you’ve done one already…
What you mean like all these: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=autoimmune%20
The number one way to combat autoimmune conditions is to do a full carnivore diet. Just beef steak, salt, eggs if you can eat them, butter, maybe some fish like sardines. This is an extreme elimination diet that also provides a ton of nutrients.
Do this until your issues resolve, then reintroduce foods slowly and pay attention to what might be adversely affecting your body.
Lectins, milk proteins, and egg proteins are common autoimmune triggers. To learn more about the carnivore diet, visit the youtube channels of Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, and Dr. Anthony Chaffee.
Yes, he’s made very helpful videos on autoimmune situations ❤
@@SoulerousI never knew until very recently that eggs can be a big issue for people, and I've decided to stop eating them and my energy levels have been so much better, I was constantly feeling fatigued and also I suffer from adult acne and majority of what I was getting around my jaw ear area has mostly gone..that along with cutting out gluten and dairy has helped massively
Dr. Berg, thank you so much. I watch you regularly and tell others to watch you. Thanks for filling in the gap that has been empty so long. Words cannot describe what a great service you bring to everyone for free. Thank you again. God Bless you and your family.
What about people who have had their thyroid removed. I had my surgery in 2015 and haven't felt the same since--digestive issues and fatigue are my biggest problems. I see so many health videos about improving thyroid function, but I've never seen one that addresses how to live on thyroid hormone replacement drugs.
He’s made videos on how to live without a thyroid ❤
Well this is very interesting - when I was 30 I had gallbladder removed full of stones much pain! when I was 45 my thryroid went crazy - Hypo - affected my heart (AFIB) - after years of not getting AFIB under control - my thryroid was radiated and I take meds to provide thyroid hormones - I have been overweight since a teen and have struggled to get my weight under control - still trying at 63 - just switched to a low carb/keto style diet - focussed on veg and protein with no or few grains/sugar. It is interesting to see how the gall bladder and thyroid are so connected. Thanks for the info.
❤ Thank you so much for the way you present the information and how much hard work and effort you put into this. It is much appreciated beyond words.
You're very welcome! Glad to help!
God Bless you and your family Dr. Berg! From Canada with lots of love and appreciation!
Dr. Berg thank you for this! I'm healthy ~18-20% b.f., I watch my diet (I eat seafood/meat & healthy fats) and weight lift 5x a week. I've been hypo for years taking synthriod & I now have gallstones. My bloodwork also shows high AM cortisol.
Sorry. It is common for new moms- did you know that? I am not quick to run to surgery but I had mine out. It was popped. Technically, ruptured. Lucky I did not die or develop pancreatitis. You don't want that for sure. Read up about it.
Dr Berg made videos on each of these subjects. It’s common but should not be ❤
Your information is incredible!! You are my absolute go-to to find any medical information I may need. I am needing information on why I keep getting burst blood vessels in my fingers. It doesn't happen super often, but when it does it is very painful.......and I don't see any info regarding this on your channel. May God bless you with peace, happiness and a very long, healthy life!

I was diagnosed with subclinincal hypothyroidism after having my gall badder removed. The surgery is something I regret , knowing what I know now. Not once during my gallbladder problem was my thyroid considered, despite a long family history of Hashimotos and symptoms I had been having for years related to thyroid dysfunction. Even now, there are few professionals that I have dealt with who seem to recognize the connections between all parts of the body and how dysfunction in one area can cause a cascade of problems in other parts of the body.
Good morning Dr Berg thankyou for all of your videos you are making a huge difference in people's life!
Can you please, do a video on how to clear an ear thats been congested from blowing your nose with suffering a sinus congestion! I am constantly hearing my heartbeat in my left ears! It gets scary sometimes! I also had this weird dizzy feelings could not sit up, so I got the Epiley maneuver done. I am feeling okay with that but my left ear is feeling congested and I cannot hear too well with it. Thankyou you again! Love and God bless!
Looks like a lack of potassium to me, at least. But Dr Berg’s videos on heartbeats and nose & ear issues could help as well ❤
My tsh levels are around 19 but my serum t3 and t4 levels are all within range .my vitamin d3 is always deficient and my liver enzymes are a little raised .My Dhea-s is also low . I have absolutely no energy , very less focus and neck and shoulder pain .i have floaters in my eyes .. i don't know why do I feel miserable all the time when my t3 and t4 are just fine .Your videos are so informative.

Yes can u make a video for those of us who have hyperthyroidism and no gallbladder
I know at least two people close to me who now have gallbladder issues since all those boosters we all know and I googled gallbladder issues and read that it was connected to the boosters, so it’s interesting you raise this medical condition 😉😉
Me too! One had his gallbladder removed. The other is in a holding pattern.
Do you have a link? I looked originally and couldn’t find one.
I went on a low fat mostly vegetable diet for several months. Then I developed gall bladder/digestive issues; plus some pancreas disfunction. I was constantly tired and cold. Deciding that this diet wasn’t working, I started eating grass fed beef and wild venison. My digestive issue disappeared and my body isn’t so cold any more. Plus my energy levels perked up. I came to the conclusion that low fat diets seriously interfered with my bile production and function. And then I encountered this video.
I wish Dr Berg would do a video about his supplement of B1 and the difference of B1 with benfotamine
I've seen a video of his that explains this... in the archives. Sorry, I don't have the link, but I watched it within the past 2 weeks.
Or did you already find that one?
I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

@@julieannmyers8714 thanks 👍
All I know Benfotiamine goes through the brain and helps more than thiamin. Thiamin is water soluble so with diabetes, it wouldn’t last much since they pee a whole more than non diabetic people.
Thank you, make sense. Is this also applying to kidney stones?
The only thing my doctor says smiling while reading my test results. Your Fine. All good!!!!!!! Every Single Time. When I'm feeling Exhausted. Depressed etc. Beyond exasperating.
That's what they kept telling me even though I had classic symptoms of hypothyroidism for most of my life. My TSH had to finally reach 20 for regular MD's to take notice. Don't give up. Start healng your body now go gluten free at the very least.

I wish I had seen this video sooner! Makes so much sense! Ty!!!!!! 💜. I just recently found the connection between the animal fat breakdown & the correlation of the production of (acetylcholine) necessary for proper brain function as well as other things like hormones & this fits for the issue with thyroid as well so all the puzzle pieces are coming together. Ty so much for your help! My family just switched to a more keto diet due to the information I found from the American heart association & the journals from neurology & nephrology. Ty again so much for this explanation which is right on point!!!!!!
Dr Berg. How about bitters, like dandelion tea, to help produce bile? Does it help?
Please and the lecture on hyperthyroid too Thanks a lot doctor.
Yes, he’s made videos on hyperthyroidism ❤
what is not mentioned that:
1. for normal tyroid function you need enough iodine - best use lugols solution about 25mg per day - this is 200x of RDA
2. Iodine is basic building material for all hormones, not just t4 and t3
3. T4=>T3 Conversion is only possible if the body has enough vitamin B, Magnesium and Selenium!
4. Iodine is renewing all mucus and intestines walls
It is a closed circuit, but it starts with suplementation and food.
Search for iodine loading protocol! -it helps hypo and hyper tyroidism, in case person has hasimotos glutene is to be avoided and additional supplementation of Selenium is needed.
Also bad liver function could be the reason why Hydrogen peroxide is not neutralised and additional Homocisteine is present in the blood.
Excessive Hydrogen peroxide is causing damage in the tyroid tissue in case of hasimoto and causes the body to fight damaged tissue with the antibodies.

I was diagnoised with Hypothyroidism at 5-6yrs old. I never had any gallbladder issues UNTIL I had my oldest child at age 28. And my attacks were so bad I thought an alien from the aliens vs predator movie was about to burst out of me 😖😳😅...I was on all fours almost dead ( I'm exaggerating) for about 15-30min at times.

Hi dr berg. Have. Been on synthroid for about 15 years, have been on keto for the last two years since following your channel . Get my blood work twice a year for TSH Seems controlled by the medication, wondering if I need it now since I’m always in ketosis. What’s a good talking point for my next drs visit.
It's as if you are writing the videos for me peronsonally at the moment! On carnivore diet and having bile and thyroid symptoms so thank you for the information 🙏
My gallbladder was removed in 2006. It had gangrene in it. I’ve struggled with my weight ever since.
Are you overweight? If anything, at a BMI of 21, I am underweight (not technically by the chart.) I struggle to gain weight. I would love an extra 10lbs. I'll take whatever you are giving away! Do you do IF? If not, you very likely should. 18:6. Drink more water. Eat healthy FATS to get THIN. It's a book.
Had mine removed in 2011 have had stomach issues ever since
@@MOAB-UT In order to gain muscle 💪 do you do do any weight resistance exercises?
@@ncbabe21 Yes. Would you check Dr Berg’s videos on how to live without a gallbladder?
@@experimenthealthyketo83 Yes. I joined recently for exactly this reason. No point in gaining 10lbs. of fat for the sake of the scale. Weight alone is generally a poor indicator of metabolic health. I want lean muscle.
I now lift about 5 days a week but nothing crazy at all. I warm up with 1 mile walk w/2 bursts up to 6mph just to get my heart going. They also have a basketball court and pool. I do a total body workout including abs. It is very important structurally to have a strong core. I also use resistance bands and stretches.
My weight gain is still hard to come by. Last night at a party, I was embarrassed yet again. In front of everyone yet another person commented, "you look thin." I said "yes I am." He said...Ok, I just hope it is intentional (as if to say, you look SICK.) Does not make me feel good. Truth be told, I believe I am quite healthy. In Asia, I would fit right in. The issue is, we are not in Asia. Everyone at that table had a BMI of about 40-60 so their lens was a little altered. Still, I would like to gain that extra 10lbs. of muscle! BMI is now 21, up from 20. On the chart, 21 it is technically ideal (in the middle of the green band), but my clothes feel better around a BMI of 22-23 and I feel better- get less comments too.

Alcohol use also affects your cortisol levels and thyroid. I was sub-clinical hypo via blood test (not tired, not overweight, no hair loss, ate clean my whole life. Zero symptoms!)
Doc prescribed me levo and I didn’t want to take it. Threw it away. He also prescribed med for high BP.
I quit alcohol. That’s all I did. No more high BP and thyroid is fine. Glad I didn’t take the meds and went with my own theory to fix my issues.
Thanks for your great vids! I’m a big fan of finding the root cause of disorders.
Thank you Dr. Berg I have hypothyroidism, I've been taking pills for 46 years now. I've been trying to wean myself off the pills. I started taking Selenium and I just rec'd your Adrenal & Cortisol Support. I just wanted to tell you that you're so right about grains, I CANNOT lose weight if I eat grains. I stopped eating bread, pasta, and rice that's the only way I can lose weight. Dr. Berg is 🌟AWESOME🌟
If you've been on thyroid meds that long, you won't be able to go without them, you will need them for life. Because now your thyroid won't produce any hormones on it's on. Be careful.
Hi ,I do too have HYPOTHYROIDISM, I even found out through watching Dr Berg. YES HE IS SO true on that ,so i follow everything he ever said about it.Since I'm in menopause the way is slow ,but I'm not doing keto yet I'm doing low carb ,I make my own bread since sourdough I make gluten free bread with lentils or Coconut flour or buckwheat, and millet.very good very well, yes I do take many supplements but there is a big IMPROVEMENT, i do fast a lot .my only problem is negligent on routine exercise but I move around .I'm more happier,calm collected really ,keep a POSITIVE attitude on things but realizing and adjusting to my slowness because the thyroid issue but yet I do occupy myself anyway I cannot be without vitamins D3/K2, potassium, magnesium, ashwagandha, omega3 milk thistle, choline, collagen vit E,A,C,probiotics, but mostly B12 along as well nutritional yeast, this is in short then the thyroid main things iodine, zinc,selenium, betaine Hcl. kelp,berberine,chlorela ,wheatgrass juice.
Sour dough bread is the answer. Very low on the glycemic scale.
@@ketherwhale6126 Sadly no ,but sourdough gluten free ,I have been there ,yes I used to make sourdough only ,but with my thyroid something was missing, until I pay attention, about still the gluten effect on it ,then I switch to only gluten free ,but once spring return I will return to sourdough without any gluten .Gluten or carb or wheat is so bad with thyroid.
@@ketherwhale6126 Lol tell that to my stomach acid!! Bread demands way too much stomach acid and there’s not enough for healthy foods!
You are the best doctor and should be considered the best Registered dietitian as well! Am studying for my RD exam and learning a lot from you. Please if you have training or mentorship you are offering I am interested.
Yes, he made a few courses available on his website. Some are free. ❤
EXACTLY what I needed, Dr Berg. THANKS !
Most welcome! Glad you found it useful!
Eric, You definitely find the most interesting and connective Topics! Thankyou, as this really connects some of the dots with my health issues!
Very glad to be of help.
It's so crazy I've been going the rounds on all of this thyroid, menopause, gallbladder! Come to find out Menopause causes gallbladder problems. Tudca is what I started taking
Some of his videos on menopause may help avoid such issues. Helped me a lot with symptoms ❤
I don’t have gallbladder anymore what happens if I don’t have it anymore and what I can do to make it better. Love all your videos I learn a lot thank you 😊

Some of his videos on t3 & t4 could answer this?
I always had high cholesterol and for this reason I was avoiding fats. Later on they saw sludge in my gallbladder which surprised me. Then my hair and eyebrows! started falling out like crazy. Nothing was helping. And half a year later I developed bile reflux, feeling of a lump in my throat, like something was stuck there, couldn’t eat, food phobia, couldn’t digest meat and fats at all. Bloating, burping. I was diagnosed with GERD and sluggish gallbladder, LES and sphincter of Oddie malfunction. My thyroid antibodies and thyroid hormones were high. I was told I’m having a beginner stage of hypothyroidism and was put on Levothyroxine. I also added Betaine hcl and digestive enzymes. Still can’t eat things like Mayo, nuts, creamy stuff, fat meats. But overall feeling 99% better. My hair and nails finally growing back
High stress may have contributed to some of that. Possibly, some of Dr Berg’s on stress relief may help avoid such situations in the future ❤
Thank you Dr berg. I’ve been following you for almost a year and have lost over 45 pounds and maintained it for 6 months. It seems I always pick little nuggets of information in each video. Today I looks like fat needs bile and bile needs fat. I know when I get a little too heavy on the dietary fat my stomach lets me know I’m thinking not enough bile for the amount of fat I consumed. I also didn’t realize you get more bile from a animal protein. I’ve heard as you get older, I’m over 55 that you need to consume more protein? Can you clarify please.
Knowledge is power! You are in charge of your body. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Be careful with that weight loss Jeff. I did almost exactly the same as you and lost my gallbladder- learned it was very common. I lost 45 in a year- running and eating leaner. I probably could have eaten more fat. I tried going vegan. I liked the idea of it ethically, but it nearly killed me. Now I eat meat and some veg. and I feel very good.
@@MOAB-UT I eat a lot of veg, healthy fats and some fatty meats. Lots of leafy greens and veggies.
@@jeffthomas6105 That is what I thought. Leaf's are not always so healthy- many contain bad things that could be part of your problem. I would try an elimination diet if I were you- slowly, never all at once. Kale for ex. is an anti-nutrient and can block absorption of good vitamins. Spinach is very high in Oxalates (kidney. stones.) Read The Plant Paradox sometime. Never Almonds or Soy or Whole Grains I hope. All bad. I would focus more on Healthy fats e.g., GRASS FED meats and WILD CAUGHT (only) SALMON and see how you feel after a month.
yup dealing with thyroid problems now. after having severe back pain and taking extremely hot showers for days for about a 3rd of the first half of 2022. Trying now to get back into Wim hof and keto.
Yes. Some of his videos on how to stop cravings can help ❤
Can Dr berg tell about lpr(silent reflux)and how to cure it?it affects throat also and itchy ,hope Dr berg help how to cure itchy throat that cause coughing
So true about silent gerd!
Apple cider vinegar helps, I have SF too
@@lindaashford7187 I already took acv for a month but not 100% cure.
Some of his videos on acid reflux will help ❤
Holy moly. I swear TH-cam is literally reading my thoughts.
