I have had hot flushes, night sweats and bad digestion since going through menopause. A dietitian told me my cholesterol was a bit too high and recommended lean meat, no more than 7 eggs a week and margarine! Soon as she mentioned margarine I decided I wasn't listening to anything else that she had to say, who in their right minds thinks margarine is better than butter?
We got stuck with margarine when growing up, by 20 I had a terrible lipid profile. That stuff is bad, butter is a natural food. I just avoid anything processed.
My mom was told to go on statins since she was 50. High cholesterol was going to kill her they said. She thankfully refused. She’s 93 now and people mistake her for being in her 70s and she’s outlived all those doctors who told her to go on the statins.
The #1 food for menopause symptoms is butter. Cooking with high-quality grass-fed butter, or even putting it in your coffee, may help relieve symptoms of menopause. It’s important to remember that as you increase your dietary fat, you need to reduce your carbohydrate intake. If you keep your carbs low, you can consume higher amounts of fat. Taking vitamin D and bile salts may also be beneficial to help your body digest the fat. More great foods to help with the symptoms of menopause: • Fatty cheese • Cream • Egg yolks • Seafood • Organ meats Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
I have been 98% Carnivore for over 25 years. I am 54 yrs old and have absolutely No menopausal symptoms at all. I am a retired Holistic Dr but now I work my 300 acre ranch all day and raise all of my food- cows, goats, turkeys,ducks and chicken s. I have tons of energy all day!! This is a Great video and TRUE! 👍👍👍😁 I also have a channel see for yourself!
Do you know you’ve gone through menopause? Have you had your hormones tested? I simply can not do much meat, it makes me so sick. I’m predominantly plant based. I had a hysterectomy years ago had no issues until recently when I started having some hot flashes. I got tested and found I was full on in menopause. I haven’t had any other symptoms though. You don’t have to eat meat to be healthy. I also know of people who eat plenty of meat and lots of butter and their menopause symptoms are horrendous. I think genetics definitely plays a part.
Honestly it’s not hard to think that the medical community is working against us. I am off all prescriptions for a few years now and have never felt or looked better.
So far during my life the British government have reccommended Not consuming salt, butter and animal fats, raw milk, eggs, bacon and water from fresh running springs. They do however promote seed oils, tap water, pasturised products, cereals, take away meals, breads etc and allow our meat and fish to be treated with chemicals to prolong the shelf life whilst advocating the fresh fruits and veg to be chemical washed and hermetically sealed in plastic. Hmmmm, I almost forgot to mention the poison dart too.
Hi doctor Eric, I liked your video about menopause. ..most of the woman in India are vegetarian using ghee from milk as good fat . I have seen healthy woman of 80 to 90 years age who are not having any symptoms as you rightly said we have backup from adrenals and other body organs. Moreover all illnesses are related to our brain. More the brain is in cool calm state and body is physically active .. lesser the symptoms of menopause. Good job Dr Eric for human health.
Hello Friend, How are you doing today ? Happy New Year and I hope you are blessed through out the year. I was just reading comments and I decided to say hi and hope we can be good friends and get to know each other better. Nice to meet you 😊
I am an Indian and my traditional doctor (who is also a clinical research scientist) tells me to eat the way our ancestors ate. He tells me no need for a high fat diet ... He says look at the fundamentals of science. The goat who eats grass has lots of fat in its body, same way the human body doesn't need to eat more fat, it can make its own fat from traditional diets.
@@SA-wj1jo I don't want to make fat. I want to burn it! The byproduct being ketones: health is increased substantially, high blood sugar complications are avoided, the brain can use ketones as fuel, less metabolic waste and inflammation to name a few. Lewis Cantley talks about the activation of various longevity pathways through keeping insulin low. Just a thought.
VERY interesting.......... I just realized that my hot flashes have almost disappeared since I have been eating 2 eggs at lunch 4 days a week. Who knew !!! Thanks Dr Berg

This is interesting. I am 51 and started seeing the signs of my cycle not being regular about a year ago. I had about a week of waking up hot about 6 months ago, so I started going to sleep earlier and paying attention to what I was hungry for. I mainly wanted apples, grapes, dates and Brie cheese, avocados and started craving butter, so I just made sure I had them readily available. I’m not craving them anymore, but maybe I’ll make them more regular as it could be why I only had the hot nights for such a short period of time. My mom said she dealt with them, and severe mood swings for 10 years straight. I work long hours at a barn caring for 30 horses, training young horses and teaching children how to ride, so I’m very in shape and haven’t ever had too much trouble with weight gain as I am pretty small. I also can’t really allow myself to have mood swings because young horses and young people need someone steady to work with, so I just don’t even allow myself to be unsteady mentally. I mainly read scripture when my mood starts to sink in a direction I don’t want it to. I think lack of sleep makes things worse as usual too.
Not just what to do ..but any info..eg what is happening in your body. Either they haven't got a clue or they deliberately mislead. I think a mixture of both perhaps.
As a 49 year old carnivore anxiously worried about when the big MENOPAUSE is gonna hit me, I never thought Dr. Berg would suddenly pop up and make my day with such a comforting video! 😉😊
If you can learn how to avoid the problems with PRE or Peri-menopause you will be very happy. Good luck. Pay attention to this speaker and I guess you might!
I wish you luck. Being low carb and animal based went from the diet that worked for me to menopause hell. Personally, I had to go in the opposite direction to get my life and body back.
@@katashley1031 does anyone know why some people get menopause problems and others do not? And when does menopause occur? How do you really know besides not getting a period? Some women have natural pregnancy into their 50s and 60s. I have not gotten any signs and I just turned 51.
Thanks Doc.... I saw my PCP mons ago complaining about all these symptoms and she was ready to give me drugs of course, I refused. There's was no mention of dietary changes I could make, herbal or homeopathic remedies, etc, just "this is normal and take these drugs" I knew there had to be another answer. BUTTER! Something I already love. Yay!!
Well, it IS normal…to be given all these drugs to get by, but most people are so comfortable with just popping some pills to feel better. Most don’t care to change their ways in other areas if they CAN just pops something instead! There’s a huge difference between normal and NATURAL. Menopause IS natural. Popping pills for it, IS normal.
Thank you for this video. I'm 52 and pre-menopausal. I became a carnivore 3 years ago after having a severe case of adrenal fatigue, they were almost completely burnt out, and since I started watching your videos this year I put butter in my coffee every day and add cream on the weekends. I also eat 2-4 eggs every day. So far, no symptons. This is a very well timed video. Thank you for all that you're doing.
I'm going through a terrible time with perimenopausal symptoms...I'm exhausted and I suffer from hot flushes and I can't sleep...I'm just restarting keto . This video has come at the perfect moment 👌
Hello Friend, How are you doing today ? Happy New Year and I hope you are blessed through out the year. I was just reading comments and I decided to say hi and hope we can be good friends and get to know each other better. Nice to meet you 😊
Look into bioidenticals made from plants. I did not sleep hardly at all for 13 years. I was going to lose my mind until I finally decided to try them. I sleep great now. No sweating either.
This is great info!! I’m 52 years old, I’m in menopause, I’ve been doing Keto for almost a year, I’m down 43 lbs, I don’t have any menopause symptoms at all. I feel great! I was wandering why I wasn’t experiencing symptoms like other women my age. This is more encouragement for me to stay on Keto!
Black Cohosh for Hot Flashes is the best for hot flashes. Titrate to your needs. I use to have to take 2-3 daily, but now towards the end of my menopause…hopefully, I take 1, as needed. Pray for all women to find what they need coping with this! 🙏❤️
Black cohosh gave me terrible migraines so unfortunately it’s not for all women. I tried it three times. Plus it’s really hard on the liver. I’m glad it’s working for you though!
I'm nearly 50. I eat grass fed butter daily, natural full fat yogurt, grass fed beef, fish, eggs, cheese, cream all the time. I have very, very few menopausal symptoms. My cycle is still regular. I believe my diet really helps.
So you’re actually not supposed to have symptoms when you’re going through menopause? So maybe my grandmother is right she claims she doesn’t remember going through menopause and had zero symptoms. Meanwhile, I’m over here with erratic irregular. Dry skin horse, voice night sweats, dry eye trouble sleeping….😭😭😵💫
If only our bodies functioned as the good Lord intended. We are fearfully and wonderfully made! Thank you for these videos. I try to incorporate as much of your advice as I can. It’s hard but appreciated! ❤
I'm sure they do function as the good Lord intended,but you got to eat the food the good Lord provided,rather than the shite provided by unethical corporate entities. 🙏
@@da4dim Absolutely 💯. Our environment needs to be closer to our ancestral times where we thrived. Today Our bodies are in constant conflict due to the stressor of toxins, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc. Our bodies are in a constant fight.
Did you do keto to have no symptoms? That’s so great 😅! I’m 42 and trying to prevent bad effects before I have the menopause in future so preparing, any tips welcome 🙏
There's not a doubt in my mind why "they" want to take away our ability to have real meat and replace it with insects! Grass fed meat is expensive to begin with, but being able to afford good quality meat is something that many people are also currently struggling with. Do you have any suggestions for those who actually can't afford to buy grass fed or a higher quality meat, meaning the next best option they can afford? It's a sad day and age when people have to literally choose between paying the basic monthly necessities, or buying decent food that won't eventually destroy their health!
Well, that explains my desire….lol….to become celibate, Doc! 😳….and now I understand the reason why my “bow-chickee-bow-wow” turned into a “bow-chickee-bye-bye. I researched meat nutrition and Bison meat is one of the superfoods, as per the research, of meats, so it is sitting in my fridge crisper presently, and the grass fed butter is still being ingested. My creamer is a combo of oat creamer and a turmeric based powder creamer, but maybe we’ll go buy the whole cow, as they say, with real deal creamer for my hot beverage choices. Even coffee has been resumed somewhat, but the sleep that night never resumed, and I believe that my coffee ingestion should be taken earlier in my day….lol. Cholesterol, huh? I’m so there, as I don’t want to even remember how much this Menopause crap is a hassle, and one wonders why it’s even called “men”opause, instead of “woman” o pause, cause it definitely puts a pause in a women’s life and style…(yeah, I know, the meaning of “menses” and all, but still…lol). Thanks for another educational and informative video on the trials and tribs of being a human being in this world, Doc. Have a good week! ✌️
@@juliepenney2683 yeah, my sense of it comes and goes like those hot flashes do…😳🙂..and I tried that bison meat, and it was nothing to write home about, so we’re looking for our cholesterol elsewhere now….lol 😏. A good sense of humour can mean a couple of things..it can be in relation to being amusing in literature or speech, but it can also mean to comply with the wishes of another, in order to keep them content, however unreasonable, as per Webster and that dictionary….and menopause makes us comply to a way of life that most see an very unreasonable, but alas, we must go through it to become the woman that we are meant to be in our later stages of this life, and humor or humour is one way we can tolerate the ride into our cronedom, but it is so much more than that, because it brings us women together on this ride, and helps us to see the relativity we all share in this journey we call life. Have a wonderful week, Julie, being the woman that you are now and will be in that future we hopefully all see with a smile and a laugh sometimes, finding whatever humour we see in it, along the way. ✌️💛
Cool info. One other nutrient that can reduce menopause symptoms is Lugols iodine. Estrogen inhibits iodine so women need more than men. As a result women have more metabolic issues than men. But everyone is deficient. One correction is that the ovaries make Type 2 thyroid hormone which I don't believe the adrenals do. Women in Japan do not have the menopause issues as severe due to seaweed iodine uptake.
I worked up to 1 stick of butter per day, and all menopause symptoms vanished. This level of fat is healthy because it is grass fed, pasture raised, and I am keto. Been keto for 5.5 years and got stuck at a plateau that I finally got past by increasing butter. 😊🍵🌸✊
@@SA-wj1jo no, keto actually reversed my kidney damage from 20 years of ibuprofin abuse and high carb eating. High insulin does crazy damage to the kidneys. Ask any diabetic after decades of injections. I started to have some issues once commercial keto treats came onto the market, as some still spike insulin. Again, I do clean healthy keto now. There are a lot of wrong ways to do keto, just as you can eat your way to type 2 diabetes while vegan. I'm glad your sister is better though. 🌸🍵🤙
@@christinem6347 other dairy seems to cause a prob too. If just adding butter does nothing, try cutting out other dairy for 3-5 days and watch the scale. 🌸🍵🤙
I had one of my adrenals removed 13 years ago. I am currently perimenopausal and experiencing extreme hormonal imbalance. Low energy, mood, hot flushes, body pain, hair loss, fatigue and weight gain. Its an absolute nightmare. I am listening intently. Thank you Dr Berg.
Please keep with him you will improve, I was there ,I had adrenal fatigue with undiagnosed hypothyroidism. My Doc used to treat every symptoms separately, until my big inflammation on 2017 I researched and Dr berg I'm better now ..
Please know that what he's saying here does not work for all. I have been through about 7 years of peri menopause and now menopause hell. Just starting to get my sleep and life back, and it took doing the opposite of what I had been for ages, which was animal based and low carb. Still haven't cracked exercising without exacerbating symptoms either, and I've been a professional trainer and nutritional for over 30 years. Even gentle, short exercise brings back the insomnia, sluggish digestion, etc. I recently started to chew every bite of food until totally liquid, and chew my liquids as well. That has shown some very promising results. But just know, we don't all end up needing the same solutions.
@@katashley1031getting on my small trampoline rebounder about four times a day for twenty minutes has helped a lot with my fatigue. My adrenals get to moving well when I do this fun exercise. I’ve seen my fatigue decrease noticeably well. Give it a try!
@katashley1031 Hi I have been suffering from extreme insomnia for 2 years. Exercising makes it even worse! Especially if done in the afternoon or evening. Have you tried anything that worked for you?
Wow interesting. I’m 41 and starting first symptoms already, feeling my body Changing so much and felt a bit lost. My body is craving for eggs, cheese and butter so much. I was unsure to follow this cravings and now feel so happy to listen your video. Thank you so much. I eat intuitively since many years, vegetarian (vegan for a while but the cheese and egg craving was so strong that I felt my body surely knows what it needs)… what also helped a lot was a traditional Chinese acupuncture and doing daily short yoga routines and walking in nature with my dog. Having good routines despite all stress that lives brings with it.
I am at this moment going through “menopause “ symptoms because I’m receiving chemo for breast cancer and it is making my period stop during treatment. The hot flashes are without a doubt, one of the worst side effects ( among many) that I’m dealing with. I cannot believe this video came along today! I hope it helps me 💕
Hello Friend, How are you doing today ? Happy New Year and I hope you are blessed through out the year. I was just reading comments and I decided to say hi and hope we can be good friends and get to know each other better. Nice to meet you 😊
I'm not sure if you believe in God or not but I do, and I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that He heals you from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. I pray that He gives you peace, comfort, strength, and endurance as you go through this trial in life. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
I started drinking Bulle Proof Coffee with grass fed butter a few years ago and all my menopause symptoms went away except the dryness issue, not bad for almost 60! Dr Eric love your videos and explaination of how the body works. I love how you back up everything you are saying by explaining the upstream functional issues or root causes. Well Done!!!!
@@shelleyhuskey1216 thanks for your reply. That's really inspiring. I'm going through it now and I'm so confused about the pros and cons. So many people saying we will suffer from dementia and RA and Ostio if we don't take HRT. But then I hear the downside to taking it. It's all so overwhelming.
@@tinkymcginnis Look I have been an environmental professional with a degree in Environmental Health for over 25 years and the reality is all drugs are toxic (read the label if you don’t believe me - they are required to tell you the health effects) to us either in the short term or long term over a lifetime. My thoughts here are pick your poison…..Blueberries or a drug. Hands down I am going with the real food. It has served me well thus far. I haven’t figured out how to get my hormones back but taking one step at a time to improve my health and figure it out. Best of luck!
My periods stopped 2 years ago (yay!!) and menopausal symptoms stopped by following a lot of Dr. Berg's suggestions. I feel so much better not eating any low fat foods, cutting out sugary things and canola/vegetable oil. Eating eggs, cheese and healthy foods helps greatly. Haven't felt this good in years.
All symptoms might stop. I'm postmenopausal for 1 year and symptoms were all going away, but I found out that estradiol is neuroprotective, cardio-protective, and joint/bone protective. I called an obgyn immediately and went on estradiol pill sublingual and progesterone capsule cyclically😅
Dear Doctor. I am 47 years and experiencing frequent hot flashes about 3 every hour. Will eating simple butter help me with hot flashes. Because grass fed butter is out of my budget
Hmmm.. Seems like they wasn't eating enough protein or fats to maintain a pregnancy at first. Even if they add vegetables to their diet, it seems it was the lack of adequate protein causing infertility because vegetables and fruits are not harmful.
A round of applause! I eat over a stick of butter a day to help with my hypothyroidism. I have noticed a dramatic difference in how i can handle stress and my brains stamina throughout the day. I homeschool our kids and by the time we got to nap time my brain would be totally zapped. Now i feel peaceful and and can go no problem all day.
@@mbigs1509 i don't think mine was hashimotos. Butter is full of vit D, A K and I think E as well. Its a perfect multi vitamin. It has other thing like DHA. other animals fats are good but they sren't as pact with nutrients like butter. It really is a super food.

@@annekendziora9114 thank you so much for sharing I'm definitely gonna increase butter in my diet I've been using Kirklands grass fed butter product of New Zealand. May I ask what butter you use?
For 18 years I've had hot flashes. The only way butter is going to work is if I freeze it and roll in it. And I been eating a keto (or close to it) diet for that last 3 years and do OMAD as well.
Respectfully disagree with this information. Have been already eating the foods you outlined and there is no relief. There needs to be true studies, of women (many) to get a clear understanding of the changes menopause brings. Please do not post information on menopause without accurate information and thorough studies.
After many months of suffering and feeling absolutely crazy when I told my doctor eating bacon and eggs made me feel better...I am thankful to have found this videos. Now I know more foods I can eat. Im so thankful.
As a healthy menopausal woman as well as a carnivore, symptoms are not alleviated by the food you mention in your video. Perhaps it helps for some people. My experience is that your tips did not alleviate severe hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. It's not as simple as described in your video.
Dear Dr. Berg, for the last 20 years of restructuring the body, I struggled with unpleasant manifestations, I coped with hot flashes, I don’t know exactly how, but they left, but the weight crushed with a heavy burden, thanks to your magical advice, this winter I lost extra pounds for the first time in many years and I feel great, thank you, you are a wonderful person and friend (друг) 👭👬👫💗
@DrBerg I’m in trouble if it’s the adrenals that will back up the hormones for menopause. Medically documented rare issues with adrenals, probably from extreme stressful life events and toxin exposures. Have had too many health issues already although was very healthy and active when younger. Have had some help from wholistic health practitioners but couldn’t continue due to finances. Doing what can. Thank you for the educational information.

I'm in the same boat you are, my friend. Scary stuff. Limited carbs, increased protein, egg & butter intake made a huge difference. Hang in there my friend.
I am a vegetarian going through menopause, my cholesterol levels are very low, and I have not had any symptoms yet. My periods simply stopped one year ago and that is it. Loving it!
Well my mom is vegetarian and said she didn’t have ANY symptoms of menopause. She’s approaching 70 now and is very healthy, still vegetarian. She does intermittent fasting, too. And she does like her butter hehehe
So, basically, eat the eggs and bacon, toss the bisket and donut. Love Dr Berg, you are the best at nutritional advice. Still hoping for a review of the book 'This is Your Brain On Birth Control ' by Sarah Hall. Your video on eating cruciferous vegetables ti flush artificial estrogen pollution was great, just hoping more women will realize what the birth control pill does to the enviroment.
Thank you Dr. Berg. My family consumes Kerrygold irish butter and olive oil daily and feel much better for it. Most medics would advise no butter at all🙈! Our ancestors ate grass fed butter and other natural fats daily e.g. fatty hams and bacon and lived long lives.
I had no menopausal symptoms- it was like it never happened. I think it was because I started drinking about 2-3 cups a day of soy milk when I was 47. The reason I started drinking it wasn't for health- it was a vanilla soy milk that I just really loved the taste of. But I think that was why I never got menopause symptoms. I also do eat meat- I'm not a vegetarian or anything.
Do you exercise that could be why u never got menopause symptoms Can I have soy milk .I have thyroid antibodies. I'm 3 yrs into menopause with lots of symptoms
@@vanitagomes3794 I walk my dogs everyday for about 40-50 minutes. That's the only exercise I get. I don't know if thyroid problems will cause problems- maybe try googling it.
@@vanitagomes3794absolutely not ,hypothyroidism must stay away from 3 things ,dairy soy ,gluten or wheat ,start doing keto and do 18/6 fasting alternative with 16/8 .Go to sleep take vitamin d3/k2 with prebiotic and magnesium glycinate, you will asleep. Keep watching dr berg video on both menopause and hypothyroidism, you will see all I just said .I learn to bake my own bread ,and u only drink kefir ,and coconut milk not other milk ,heal your gut first ,lower your sugar ,your carb and also your fruits.
Soymilk in my cereal completely stopped my night drenches and hot flashes, however it then caused my heart rate to go up. Now I just do a little soy short term when I need it and stop to prevent that side effect and that works for me. Although it caused me a side effect with regular use, it really did take the flushes and drenches away immediately.
Just an anecdotal story of my own, Black Cohosh sailed me through menopause 18 years ago. O accidently bought too low of a dose once and the hit flashes were horrific. Hope this helps someone.
I'm 55 and have been on hormone patches for menopause for the past 6 years !! I also suffer from seizures as Epilepsy medication just doesn't work for me ,and I get terrible migraines , tinnitus and memory loss . Im going to try this and the Keto diet , it sounds good going by the comments. So glad this popped up on my page.
Since I was young, I always remembered the good and bad cholesterol as LOUSY for LDL and Happy for the HDL . Very informative video, thank you. Regarding. Low fat, I always noticed higher sugar content esp if packaged.
Thanks Doc but as a vegan I wouldn’t want to increase consumption of any of those. I eat the usual avocado, olive oil, mct, cashew butter, coconut oils. I have found taking black cohosh each day helps with the restlessness and hot sweats. I also take Ginkgo Biloba which helps with brain fog

Dr Berge. Ive been fat fasting for a week and I stopped my statin and ive have lost 7 pnds and sugars are normal And memory is better. You are saving my life.
My menopausal symptoms have been severe for almost 25 years now. The hot flashes alternate with big chill downs every few minutes, it feels exactly like the fever and chills I got with one or two bad childhood infections. I never turned on my furnace winter and slept with just one linen sheet. One time, I got really bad multiple hot flashes while visiting a new friend at her too-warm house, when I got up from the sofa, it had multiple rings of damp, salt stains on it from my severe sweating. I was mortified and wasn’t invited back. It controls what I can wear, do and where I can go and when. I live like a hermit in the warm season in my one room with an AC unit. I’ve tried and tried to get the hormones, but am always denied because of my unfavorable lipid profile. I get some improvement now from the anti-depressant that I was prescribed for it, but it makes me grind my teeth unbearably 24 hours. Age 62, normal weight, take Atorvastatin. I became so down, when standing at the DMV counter, sweating like crazy, I complained to the lady helping me, she said “I hate to tell you this, but the hot flashes never go away, either”. I will try your remedy, doctor, it’s the first ray of hope. We shouldn’t have to live like this, if men got this, the problem would have been solved decades ago.
I go through the sweats all day, my close get drenched! Since I was 37 now at 51 it's worst! I clicked on this video so fast, hopefully this works. And, you're right if this was MEN!
Hi Kimberly, My name is Alessandra, and I'm an Italian lady. I'm 56 years old, and I'm crossing the same hell... My bedroom is the coldest room, I sleep alone cause can't have anybody close to me, i use a cotton sheet, I sleep only with a knickers and t-shirt, I let open the window and..... I live in high mountain....very very cold outside, but every night is a real nightmare for me, insonnia, ansia, flush, I feel like I'm burning alive. Now are 6 years of this "no-life". I know what you feel 😢 someone told me to use an herb called red clover, i will try ....and i will try to eat what this doctor say. Well, I want to send you a big hug and wish for you a good luck! Sorry for my English.....
I'm 65 and started experiencing symptoms in my late forties knowing I was on my way to menopause when my last made at clear at 53. I skated through menopause though once I started exercising daily and not rigorously joyfully. Might want to try it. For me it started out walking down to the end of the block because I was overweight and ended up with me dancing through the neighborhood up and down hills for 45 minutes and I hope and pray you can find a solution that works for you.
There’s never been a proven link between eating dietary cholesterol and high blood cholesterol anyway, it was just assumed in the days when “non- or low-fat” diets were incorrectly considered healthier. I want to get off the statin now, thanks for the great explanation. As for not eating fats to lose weight, I find the direct opposite is true, I always lose weight when eating lots of salad and chicken/beef/tuna, etc., even with the blue cheese piled on. When I eat things like bread, rice and potatoes, it packs the weight on, even though they are “lower calorie” overall.
My only symptoms have been over heating. I thought it was stopping my last fall, but now I'm getting hot flashes again. Not as bad though and stops quick enough. Cold makes it stop faster, so I take my socks off and step on something cold, or turn on a fan. That's it, just over heating which has been very annoying. I want it to stop.

About 5 years ago I did get some sort of heat flash but I learned to drink room temp water every morning instead of cold water. It helped a lot and then in 2018 I went and found Dr Berg and incorporated some of his knowledge and haven't had any symptoms at all.
I has instant menopause at 49. Cancer gene in family's. Went low carb at 52. Symptoms dropped at the time, but never connected it to my massive increase in animal fats, especially butter.

I’ve been on keto for only a month and a half and already my hot flushes have gone and my anxiety spikes have too. The peripheral neuropathy in my feet is much improved and hopefully my Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is on its way as well. I’m in it for the long haul. Thanks Dr Berg and team. You’re amazing!
Dr berg! Thank heavens for you! You just helped me get rid of a week long brutal eyelid twitch. It was alkalosis from too much San pellegrino for months (bicarbonates) then a food poisoning episode where I lost my gastric acid. Two doses of acv and no more twitch! I had been craving black tea and ascorbic acid tablets so my body knew! I had posted it on fb when I was desperate for help and two doctors I know were talking about screen time and magnesium: nobody mentioned alkalosis!
WELL WHAT IF YOU HAVE HAD BREAST CANCER ESTROGEN POSITIVE AND ARE TAKING TAMOXIFEN???YHOS WOULD SEEM COUNTERPRODUCTIVE...ESP. IF DOC SAID CANCER WAS ESTROGEN FED!!!!!!THIS SUX 4 US TYPE OF WOMEN.... WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST NOW DOC??????
I love how you nail it in these videos. You learn more on here in 5 minutes than what you do wasting money going to the doctor for 5 years! THANKS 👍👍!!!! I have very little perimenopausal symptoms. I would add though, that if youve got endometrosis going into menopuase, to get your cholesterol sources from non dairy, such as eggs, and organic sources of meat, including organ meat once or twice a week.
Happy New Year Doctor. You are a blessing to us. Your videos has helped me alot to change my lifestyle and make correct choices especially concerning food. All the best for 2023. Wishing you joy and great health.
I am 61 and 4.5 years post menopause and had hardly any symptons other than the obvious one. I rarely eat eggs, never eat butter and overall have a low fat diet. Only eat chicken but not very much / often. No seafood or anything else recommended here. However I have been a one meal a day person for most of my adult life, and I ended up thinking from something I once read, that this could be the reason I had such an easy menopause 🤷♀
@@amandadavies.. Na, I think genetics can play into it. Some people have a hard time and some sail through. I think for those that have symptoms, diet could make a difference for sure.
@@rhaven50 Difficult to say regarding my mother as she died aged 49 when I was only 17, yet I don't recall anything that I would now recognise as menopause / bad symptoms. I actually don't recall any other relatives complaining about it either.
I was watching women who lived up on the mountain eating animal fat, cooking with it and making and eating butter and they're all strong like an ox..they haul wood and garden, living off grid
Im 50 and following a high fat animal based eating strategy. I have zero menopausal symptoms yet. Healed 8 different health issues in a matter of weeks. I feel 25. I look younger than my age. Starting to lose some of the 20 lbs I needed to lose while eating TWICE AS MUCH. I didn't realize I'd been severely undereating my entire life. Always changing and adjusting my approach as I learn. Thanks Dr Berg, you are helping change everything.
I have had the worst menopause symptoms for two years. This is a terrible way to live and I’m turning fifty in a few months. It’s true your pretty much on your own for how you can live with symptoms.
Long ago I had a doctor I used to see put me on statins and back then I didn’t know much about them. They immediately made my blood sugars higher, and gave me horrible muscle aches. I stopped taking them. The doctors I saw over the years wanted to put me on them again and I said NO! They never believed me that they made my blood sugars higher. I’m 51 and have been doing carnivore since October 2022, I feel great. I’m now doing BBBE (I can’t eat plant foods or fruits due to digestive issues), and my blood sugars have improved in just a few days! I don’t have peri menopausal symptoms anymore either. Meat heals!! 💪🏻
I contracted bacterial meningitis this past October. A MRI was taken when I was in a medically induced coma and then a week later. The second MRI showed I had had a small stroke since they had taken the 1st MRI. I have been put on a statin due to the drs. saying I am now more prone to having another stroke. I DO NOT want to be on a statin but am afraid of possibly having more strokes! I don't know what to do.
I started having issues in my late 30's. I'm now 53, and I swear by Kerrygold butter, raw milk with full fat, and lots of sunshine. I finally moved from the Appalachians to middle Georgia because I couldn't get enough D3/K2 in me due to the lack of sunshine. I was taking mega doses. Now I just get it naturally and feel much better than I did in my 30's, but I travel with my milk and butter. Can't live without it.
Thanks again dr Berg❤ G'd Bless you. You took away a lot of fear again. After my uteruscancer and removal of my uterus and overy, i thought this was the end, so my docter told me...lie nr 145 again by medical docters. Why dont the know this??? Honestly. Its insane. Thanks to you, i am on a low carb diet, vit D. Now healthy foods, like diary butter etc. Getting better by the day. 7 years in remission, cancerfree, my liver back to normal again. Taste and smell back, no burning mouth again. Most of my pain gone. Rewiring my brain from chronic pain and fear. And having good sleep again. Also using the Matrix methode to delete my traumas, its all working. ❤❤❤ so thanks to you to dr Berg. You are one of my Heros❤
My perimenopause is so bad that the episodes depressions became really scary; my kids are teenagers and need me through this troubled stage of their life …but I do stupid things during the depression flares .
I follow your diet plan and I still have the worst menopausal symptoms! I am scared what they would be like if I didn’t follow your suggestions. Please don’t tell people it’s not normal to go through these symptoms.
Well that is a fail! Since going low carb/keto about 5 years ago I consistently eat red meat, eggs at least 2, butter and cream every day. I am fortunate enough to live in New Zealand where we have very high quality grass fed meat and dairy. I walk the dog 5ks every day and also go tramping, go to Pilates, and am reasonably fit and not overweight. Still get crazy symptoms since going into menopause 7 years ago. Flushing, night sweats and sleeplessness - every single day. So no 'magical' cure there! I've tried all the natural remedies, none of them have worked. The Dr can only recommend hormone therapy, and sleeping tablets, It looks like I am one of the women for whom menopause is a life sentence. PS every time some-one writes that they didn't get any symptoms because they do X,Y,Z I want to scream LOL!
I’m 50 and on my way to menopause, I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for the last 2 years and thank goodness I love butter and cheese! Good to know what my body needs at this age. Thank you!😊
@@ET-ri4dtGouda is a good one & cream cheese another, but TRY not to get bagged cheese get whole& shred or cut yourself , that’s the point & pasture raised eggs, meat , butter etc etc GHEE it’s called !!!
I have had hot flushes, night sweats and bad digestion since going through menopause. A dietitian told me my cholesterol was a bit too high and recommended lean meat, no more than 7 eggs a week and margarine! Soon as she mentioned margarine I decided I wasn't listening to anything else that she had to say, who in their right minds thinks margarine is better than butter?
So 80's lol
I know right. Thank God you didn't listen to her.
We got stuck with margarine when growing up, by 20 I had a terrible lipid profile. That stuff is bad, butter is a natural food. I just avoid anything processed.
Should I stop using my estradiol hormone patches? I get horrible hot flashes constantly when I dint put one on.
@@suevivi Try sage tablets for hot flushes.
My mom was told to go on statins since she was 50. High cholesterol was going to kill her they said. She thankfully refused. She’s 93 now and people mistake her for being in her 70s and she’s outlived all those doctors who told her to go on the statins.
Statin gave my mom Alzheimer's
That is so awesome! When I refused to take it couple years ago my Dr. Got mad at me and kept asking why not.
@@micshell That’s awful. So sorry.
@@Justme77400 yes it is
My husband is on statins for his cholesterol plz tell me what happens with statin
The #1 food for menopause symptoms is butter. Cooking with high-quality grass-fed butter, or even putting it in your coffee, may help relieve symptoms of menopause.
It’s important to remember that as you increase your dietary fat, you need to reduce your carbohydrate intake. If you keep your carbs low, you can consume higher amounts of fat. Taking vitamin D and bile salts may also be beneficial to help your body digest the fat.
More great foods to help with the symptoms of menopause:
• Fatty cheese
• Cream
• Egg yolks
• Seafood
• Organ meats
Thank you Dr Berg! 🐱👍🏿
I don’t eat any of them 😓 no wonder I feel awful 😫
Thank you fidel, have missed your posts lately
I accidentally gave you a thumbs down, sorry about that.
May be for some, but it's not the low cholesterol that causes menopause symptoms.
@@notadocf538 what do you suppose causes menopausal symptoms?
I have been 98% Carnivore for over 25 years. I am 54 yrs old and have absolutely No menopausal symptoms at all. I am a retired Holistic Dr but now I work my 300 acre ranch all day and raise all of my food- cows, goats, turkeys,ducks and chicken s. I have tons of energy all day!! This is a Great video and TRUE! 👍👍👍😁 I also have a channel see for yourself!
Sounds like a wonderful lifestyle 🤩
@@XXLady thank you!
Is your channel for homesteading/ranching or does it have holistic advice on it? 💜
@@RacquelitaChaparrita it's a little of all 3. 😊 thanks for your comment👍
Do you know you’ve gone through menopause? Have you had your hormones tested? I simply can not do much meat, it makes me so sick. I’m predominantly plant based. I had a hysterectomy years ago had no issues until recently when I started having some hot flashes. I got tested and found I was full on in menopause. I haven’t had any other symptoms though. You don’t have to eat meat to be healthy. I also know of people who eat plenty of meat and lots of butter and their menopause symptoms are horrendous. I think genetics definitely plays a part.
Honestly it’s not hard to think that the medical community is working against us. I am off all prescriptions for a few years now and have never felt or looked better.
It's all about the $$$
I’m 40 stop my period I’m very confused what is best hormones therapy or ???? Bbb
They want us 😵
So far during my life the British government have reccommended Not consuming salt, butter and animal fats, raw milk, eggs, bacon and water from fresh running springs. They do however promote seed oils, tap water, pasturised products, cereals, take away meals, breads etc and allow our meat and fish to be treated with chemicals to prolong the shelf life whilst advocating the fresh fruits and veg to be chemical washed and hermetically sealed in plastic. Hmmmm, I almost forgot to mention the poison dart too.
Yep and we should realise from that, the last thing they want is all of us living happy and healthy lives.
This really made me laugh, because it's so true!!!
If a politician is speaking, they're lying
Same here in the US. Agenda much??
Oh how mean .. if we look after ourselves who will look after big pharma !?
Hi doctor Eric, I liked your video about menopause. ..most of the woman in India are vegetarian using ghee from milk as good fat . I have seen healthy woman of 80 to 90 years age who are not having any symptoms as you rightly said we have backup from adrenals and other body organs. Moreover all illnesses are related to our brain. More the brain is in cool calm state and body is physically active .. lesser the symptoms of menopause.
Good job Dr Eric for human health.
I consume ghee instead of butter ,is that ok
Hello Friend, How are you doing today ? Happy New Year and I hope you are blessed through out the year. I was just reading comments and I decided to say hi and hope we can be good friends and get to know each other better. Nice to meet you 😊
@@christopherjohnson7726 you must help nearby friends.
I am an Indian and my traditional doctor (who is also a clinical research scientist) tells me to eat the way our ancestors ate. He tells me no need for a high fat diet ... He says look at the fundamentals of science. The goat who eats grass has lots of fat in its body, same way the human body doesn't need to eat more fat, it can make its own fat from traditional diets.
@@SA-wj1jo I don't want to make fat. I want to burn it! The byproduct being ketones: health is increased substantially, high blood sugar complications are avoided, the brain can use ketones as fuel, less metabolic waste and inflammation to name a few. Lewis Cantley talks about the activation of various longevity pathways through keeping insulin low. Just a thought.
VERY interesting.......... I just realized that my hot flashes have almost disappeared since I have been eating 2 eggs at lunch 4 days a week. Who knew !!! Thanks Dr Berg
Hello Friend, How are you doing today ? Happy New Year and I hope you are blessed through out the year. I was just reading comments and I decided to say hi and hope we can be good friends and get to know each other better. Nice to meet you 😊
Wow. Thanks for sharing..such an easy way to try and get some relief from hot flashes! 👍
This is interesting. I am 51 and started seeing the signs of my cycle not being regular about a year ago. I had about a week of waking up hot about 6 months ago, so I started going to sleep earlier and paying attention to what I was hungry for.
I mainly wanted apples, grapes, dates and Brie cheese, avocados and started craving butter, so I just made sure I had them readily available. I’m not craving them anymore, but maybe I’ll make them more regular as it could be why I only had the hot nights for such a short period of time. My mom said she dealt with them, and severe mood swings for 10 years straight.
I work long hours at a barn caring for 30 horses, training young horses and teaching children how to ride, so I’m very in shape and haven’t ever had too much trouble with weight gain as I am pretty small. I also can’t really allow myself to have mood swings because young horses and young people need someone steady to work with, so I just don’t even allow myself to be unsteady mentally. I mainly read scripture when my mood starts to sink in a direction I don’t want it to. I think lack of sleep makes things worse as usual too.
Look for his supplements there ALL AMAZING & natural !!!!
This just proves that whatever "they' tell you to do, Do The Opposite!!! Thank you Dr. B👍. Great video as always 😊
Was funny 😄. Do opposite
my old neighbour told me this and its the opposite for everything,
Not just what to do ..but any info..eg what is happening in your body. Either they haven't got a clue or they deliberately mislead. I think a mixture of both perhaps.
Yep we live in an upside opposite world by design of those trying to control us
As a 49 year old carnivore anxiously worried about when the big MENOPAUSE is gonna hit me, I never thought Dr. Berg would suddenly pop up and make my day with such a comforting video! 😉😊
Snap!! Me too😅👍
If you can learn how to avoid the problems with PRE or Peri-menopause you will be very happy. Good luck. Pay attention to this speaker and I guess you might!
Does anyone know if this can delay menopause?
I wish you luck. Being low carb and animal based went from the diet that worked for me to menopause hell.
Personally, I had to go in the opposite direction to get my life and body back.
@@katashley1031 does anyone know why some people get menopause problems and others do not? And when does menopause occur? How do you really know besides not getting a period? Some women have natural pregnancy into their 50s and 60s. I have not gotten any signs and I just turned 51.
Thanks Doc.... I saw my PCP mons ago complaining about all these symptoms and she was ready to give me drugs of course, I refused. There's was no mention of dietary changes I could make, herbal or homeopathic remedies, etc, just "this is normal and take these drugs" I knew there had to be another answer. BUTTER! Something I already love. Yay!!
Well, it IS normal…to be given all these drugs to get by, but most people are so comfortable with just popping some pills to feel better. Most don’t care to change their ways in other areas if they CAN just pops something instead!
There’s a huge difference between normal and NATURAL. Menopause IS natural. Popping pills for it, IS normal.
Thank you for this video. I'm 52 and pre-menopausal. I became a carnivore 3 years ago after having a severe case of adrenal fatigue, they were almost completely burnt out, and since I started watching your videos this year I put butter in my coffee every day and add cream on the weekends. I also eat 2-4 eggs every day. So far, no symptons. This is a very well timed video. Thank you for all that you're doing.
Wow! That is amazing. I'm 50 this year and will be taking a leaf out of your book.
👏 awesome. Do you feel like carnivore helped you? I'm thinking about that myself.
Do you mind sharing your recovery steps you took… I’m there now :(
Your 52 and it’s only peri menopause? Wow bravo! I thought it started at 51! I’m 47 and am starting peri menopause ! Nice!
Thanks, for sharing. I also am Carnivore. I am almost 1 yr.into menopause (i'm 56) no bad issues with menopause.:)
I'm going through a terrible time with perimenopausal symptoms...I'm exhausted and I suffer from hot flushes and I can't sleep...I'm just restarting keto . This video has come at the perfect moment 👌
Hello Friend, How are you doing today ? Happy New Year and I hope you are blessed through out the year. I was just reading comments and I decided to say hi and hope we can be good friends and get to know each other better. Nice to meet you 😊
My sympathies, I suffer terribly from hot flashes, too.
Look into bioidenticals made from plants. I did not sleep hardly at all for 13 years. I was going to lose my mind until I finally decided to try them. I sleep great now. No sweating either.
This is great info!! I’m 52 years old, I’m in menopause, I’ve been doing Keto for almost a year, I’m down 43 lbs, I don’t have any menopause symptoms at all. I feel great! I was wandering why I wasn’t experiencing symptoms like other women my age. This is more encouragement for me to stay on Keto!
You could just be one of the lucky ones. 20% of women show no signs. Their periods just stop.
Black Cohosh for Hot Flashes is the best for hot flashes. Titrate to your needs. I use to have to take 2-3 daily, but now towards the end of my menopause…hopefully, I take 1, as needed.
Pray for all women to find what they need coping with this! 🙏❤️
Black cohosh gave me terrible migraines so unfortunately it’s not for all women. I tried it three times. Plus it’s really hard on the liver. I’m glad it’s working for you though!
What mg?
he just said to add more FAT. not pills.
I'm nearly 50. I eat grass fed butter daily, natural full fat yogurt, grass fed beef, fish, eggs, cheese, cream all the time. I have very, very few menopausal symptoms. My cycle is still regular. I believe my diet really helps.
To just hear you aren't suppose to have all these symptoms is eye opening because thats all you hear.
So you’re actually not supposed to have symptoms when you’re going through menopause? So maybe my grandmother is right she claims she doesn’t remember going through menopause and had zero symptoms. Meanwhile, I’m over here with erratic irregular. Dry skin horse, voice night sweats, dry eye trouble sleeping….😭😭😵💫
If only our bodies functioned as the good Lord intended. We are fearfully and wonderfully made! Thank you for these videos. I try to incorporate as much of your advice as I can. It’s hard but appreciated! ❤
I'm sure they do function as the good Lord intended,but you got to eat the food the good Lord provided,rather than the shite provided by unethical corporate entities. 🙏
@@da4dim Absolutely 💯. Our environment needs to be closer to our ancestral times where we thrived. Today Our bodies are in constant conflict due to the stressor of toxins, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, etc. Our bodies are in a constant fight.

@@lyhamroad4431 I'm wondering too what you did that you feel gave you these results

There's not a doubt in my mind why "they" want to take away our ability to have real meat and replace it with insects! Grass fed meat is expensive to begin with, but being able to afford good quality meat is something that many people are also currently struggling with.
Do you have any suggestions for those who actually can't afford to buy grass fed or a higher quality meat, meaning the next best option they can afford?
It's a sad day and age when people have to literally choose between paying the basic monthly necessities, or buying decent food that won't eventually destroy their health!
I hate how much real grass-fed anything costs. :-(
I always thought menopause symptoms weren’t normal.
I am very thankful for this vídeo.
Thank you very much Dr Eric Berg!!!
Well, that explains my desire….lol….to become celibate, Doc! 😳….and now I understand the reason why my “bow-chickee-bow-wow” turned into a “bow-chickee-bye-bye. I researched meat nutrition and Bison meat is one of the superfoods, as per the research, of meats, so it is sitting in my fridge crisper presently, and the grass fed butter is still being ingested. My creamer is a combo of oat creamer and a turmeric based powder creamer, but maybe we’ll go buy the whole cow, as they say, with real deal creamer for my hot beverage choices. Even coffee has been resumed somewhat, but the sleep that night never resumed, and I believe that my coffee ingestion should be taken earlier in my day….lol. Cholesterol, huh? I’m so there, as I don’t want to even remember how much this Menopause crap is a hassle, and one wonders why it’s even called “men”opause, instead of “woman” o pause, cause it definitely puts a pause in a women’s life and style…(yeah, I know, the meaning of “menses” and all, but still…lol).

@@juliepenney2683 yeah, my sense of it comes and goes like those hot flashes do…😳🙂..and I tried that bison meat, and it was nothing to write home about, so we’re looking for our cholesterol elsewhere now….lol 😏. A good sense of humour can mean a couple of things..it can be in relation to being amusing in literature or speech, but it can also mean to comply with the wishes of another, in order to keep them content, however unreasonable, as per Webster and that dictionary….and menopause makes us comply to a way of life that most see an very unreasonable, but alas, we must go through it to become the woman that we are meant to be in our later stages of this life, and humor or humour is one way we can tolerate the ride into our cronedom, but it is so much more than that, because it brings us women together on this ride, and helps us to see the relativity we all share in this journey we call life. Have a wonderful week, Julie, being the woman that you are now and will be in that future we hopefully all see with a smile and a laugh sometimes, finding whatever humour we see in it, along the way. ✌️💛

Cool info.
One other nutrient that can reduce menopause symptoms is Lugols iodine. Estrogen inhibits iodine so women need more than men. As a result women have more metabolic issues than men. But everyone is deficient. One correction is that the ovaries make Type 2 thyroid hormone which I don't believe the adrenals do. Women in Japan do not have the menopause issues as severe due to seaweed iodine uptake.
I worked up to 1 stick of butter per day, and all menopause symptoms vanished. This level of fat is healthy because it is grass fed, pasture raised, and I am keto. Been keto for 5.5 years and got stuck at a plateau that I finally got past by increasing butter. 😊🍵🌸✊
Wow!
May I ask, did you gain weight? Oh, you’re doing keto..is that why?
You have no issues with your kidneys? My sister developed nephrolithiasis on keto which was reversed after 3 years of being off keto. 🤔
@@SA-wj1jo no, keto actually reversed my kidney damage from 20 years of ibuprofin abuse and high carb eating.
High insulin does crazy damage to the kidneys. Ask any diabetic after decades of injections. I started to have some issues once commercial keto treats came onto the market, as some still spike insulin. Again, I do clean healthy keto now. There are a lot of wrong ways to do keto, just as you can eat your way to type 2 diabetes while vegan. I'm glad your sister is better though. 🌸🍵🤙
That’s interesting. I’m 49 perimenopause on keto and lost 67 pounds. Weight seems stuck. I might try adding in butter to see … Thanks
@@christinem6347 other dairy seems to cause a prob too. If just adding butter does nothing, try cutting out other dairy for 3-5 days and watch the scale. 🌸🍵🤙
😭 I've been figuring this out for over a year on my own. No one talks about the change and we don't have elders relaying anything helpful.
I had one of my adrenals removed 13 years ago. I am currently perimenopausal and experiencing extreme hormonal imbalance. Low energy, mood, hot flushes, body pain, hair loss, fatigue and weight gain. Its an absolute nightmare. I am listening intently. Thank you Dr Berg.
Please keep with him you will improve, I was there ,I had adrenal fatigue with undiagnosed hypothyroidism. My Doc used to treat every symptoms separately, until my big inflammation on 2017 I researched and Dr berg I'm better now ..
Please know that what he's saying here does not work for all. I have been through about 7 years of peri menopause and now menopause hell.
Just starting to get my sleep and life back, and it took doing the opposite of what I had been for ages, which was animal based and low carb. Still haven't cracked exercising without exacerbating symptoms either, and I've been a professional trainer and nutritional for over 30 years. Even gentle, short exercise brings back the insomnia, sluggish digestion, etc.
I recently started to chew every bite of food until totally liquid, and chew my liquids as well. That has shown some very promising results. But just know, we don't all end up needing the same solutions.
@@katashley1031getting on my small trampoline rebounder about four times a day for twenty minutes has helped a lot with my fatigue. My adrenals get to moving well when I do this fun exercise. I’ve seen my fatigue decrease noticeably well. Give it a try!
@katashley1031 Hi I have been suffering from extreme insomnia for 2 years. Exercising makes it even worse! Especially if done in the afternoon or evening. Have you tried anything that worked for you?
Wow interesting. I’m 41 and starting first symptoms already, feeling my body Changing so much and felt a bit lost. My body is craving for eggs, cheese and butter so much. I was unsure to follow this cravings and now feel so happy to listen your video. Thank you so much. I eat intuitively since many years, vegetarian (vegan for a while but the cheese and egg craving was so strong that I felt my body surely knows what it needs)… what also helped a lot was a traditional Chinese acupuncture and doing daily short yoga routines and walking in nature with my dog. Having good routines despite all stress that lives brings with it.
I am at this moment going through “menopause “ symptoms because I’m receiving chemo for breast cancer and it is making my period stop during treatment. The hot flashes are without a doubt, one of the worst side effects ( among many) that I’m dealing with. I cannot believe this video came along today! I hope it helps me 💕

My periods stopped 2 years ago (yay!!) and menopausal symptoms stopped by following a lot of Dr. Berg's suggestions. I feel so much better not eating any low fat foods, cutting out sugary things and canola/vegetable oil. Eating eggs, cheese and healthy foods helps greatly. Haven't felt this good in years.
What kind of cheese?
Low fat mozzarella is what my nutritionalist told me
All symptoms might stop. I'm postmenopausal for 1 year and symptoms were all going away, but I found out that estradiol is neuroprotective, cardio-protective, and joint/bone protective. I called an obgyn immediately and went on estradiol pill sublingual and progesterone capsule cyclically😅
Dear Doctor. I am 47 years and experiencing frequent hot flashes about 3 every hour. Will eating simple butter help me with hot flashes. Because grass fed butter is out of my budget
I’ve heard of women getting pregnant after years of infertility, just by going on Keto or Carnivore. He’s right.
Hmmm.. Seems like they wasn't eating enough protein or fats to maintain a pregnancy at first. Even if they add vegetables to their diet, it seems it was the lack of adequate protein causing infertility because vegetables and fruits are not harmful.
A round of applause! I eat over a stick of butter a day to help with my hypothyroidism. I have noticed a dramatic difference in how i can handle stress and my brains stamina throughout the day. I homeschool our kids and by the time we got to nap time my brain would be totally zapped. Now i feel peaceful and and can go no problem all day.
May I ask why butter for hypothyroidism? I haven't heard of this. Just curious is it hypothyroidism due to hashimotos?
@@mbigs1509 i don't think mine was hashimotos. Butter is full of vit D, A K and I think E as well. Its a perfect multi vitamin. It has other thing like DHA. other animals fats are good but they sren't as pact with nutrients like butter. It really is a super food.
Hello Friend, How are you doing today ? Happy New Year and I hope you are blessed through out the year. I was just reading comments and I decided to say hi and hope we can be good friends and get to know each other better. Nice to meet you 😊
@@mbigs1509 according to Dr.Berg 90% of hypothyroidism is hashimotos. God Bless Shalom 💜
@@annekendziora9114 thank you so much for sharing I'm definitely gonna increase butter in my diet I've been using Kirklands grass fed butter product of New Zealand. May I ask what butter you use?
For 18 years I've had hot flashes. The only way butter is going to work is if I freeze it and roll in it. And I been eating a keto (or close to it) diet for that last 3 years and do OMAD as well.
Respectfully disagree with this information. Have been already eating the foods you outlined and there is no relief. There needs to be true studies, of women (many) to get a clear understanding of the changes menopause brings. Please do not post information on menopause without accurate information and thorough studies.
@dawnhannon5318
Have you tried cutting sugar out of your diet? That helped me.
I agree with you 100%. It is not beneficial to post information on menopause as if it is a one-size fits all solution. Everyone is different.
After many months of suffering and feeling absolutely crazy when I told my doctor eating bacon and eggs made me feel better...I am thankful to have found this videos. Now I know more foods I can eat. Im so thankful.
As a healthy menopausal woman as well as a carnivore, symptoms are not alleviated by the food you mention in your video. Perhaps it helps for some people. My experience is that your tips did not alleviate severe hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. It's not as simple as described in your video.
My experience with dairy is that it WORSENS night sweats.
Dear Dr. Berg, for the last 20 years of restructuring the body, I struggled with unpleasant manifestations, I coped with hot flashes, I don’t know exactly how, but they left, but the weight crushed with a heavy burden, thanks to your magical advice, this winter I lost extra pounds for the first time in many years and I feel great, thank you, you are a wonderful person and friend (друг) 👭👬👫💗
@DrBerg I’m in trouble if it’s the adrenals that will back up the hormones for menopause. Medically documented rare issues with adrenals, probably from extreme stressful life events and toxin exposures. Have had too many health issues already although was very healthy and active when younger. Have had some help from wholistic health practitioners but couldn’t continue due to finances. Doing what can. Thank you for the educational information.

@@christopherjohnson7726 How's the weather in Lagos?
I'm in the same boat you are, my friend. Scary stuff. Limited carbs, increased protein, egg & butter intake made a huge difference. Hang in there my friend.
Also a time to put men @ pause 😅
I am a vegetarian going through menopause, my cholesterol levels are very low, and I have not had any symptoms yet. My periods simply stopped one year ago and that is it. Loving it!
Trust me menopause is not linear, I thought the same and celebrated but not for long
Well my mom is vegetarian and said she didn’t have ANY symptoms of menopause. She’s approaching 70 now and is very healthy, still vegetarian. She does intermittent fasting, too. And she does like her butter hehehe
At what age? Interesting topic since I'm 35 and will be their one day.
I’m 53 and doing pretty well as a vegetarian going through menopause so far too 😊. I do eat butter, cheese and eggs 😋.
@@MRS.SammeK I'm 52. You still have some time. So far I have felt fine, no mood changes or hot waves.
So, basically, eat the eggs and bacon, toss the bisket and donut.
Love Dr Berg, you are the best at nutritional advice.
Still hoping for a review of the book 'This is Your Brain On Birth Control ' by Sarah Hall. Your video on eating cruciferous vegetables ti flush artificial estrogen pollution was great, just hoping more women will realize what the birth control pill does to the enviroment.
Thank you Dr. Berg. My family consumes Kerrygold irish butter and olive oil daily and feel much better for it. Most medics would advise no butter at all🙈! Our ancestors ate grass fed butter and other natural fats daily e.g. fatty hams and bacon and lived long lives.
This butter contains lots of mineralöl
Kerry gold Best butter ever, I've used it all my life.
Pigs are smarter than dogs. We don’t eat our pets. Why are people harm others that have emotions and feelings too.
@@main2333 Humans are omnivores
@@main2333 actually people do in other countries, I'm vegi still love kerry gold butter always will that's my vice yum
Permission to eat high quality grass fed butter, consume eggs, dietary fat, animal products, cholesterol is KewL 😎😘
I had no menopausal symptoms- it was like it never happened. I think it was because I started drinking about 2-3 cups a day of soy milk when I was 47. The reason I started drinking it wasn't for health- it was a vanilla soy milk that I just really loved the taste of. But I think that was why I never got menopause symptoms. I also do eat meat- I'm not a vegetarian or anything.
Do you exercise that could be why u never got menopause symptoms Can I have soy milk .I have thyroid antibodies. I'm 3 yrs into menopause with lots of symptoms
@@vanitagomes3794 I walk my dogs everyday for about 40-50 minutes. That's the only exercise I get. I don't know if thyroid problems will cause problems- maybe try googling it.
Check out the link between oxalates and thyroid issues - soy products are extremely high in oxalates@@vanitagomes3794
@@vanitagomes3794absolutely not ,hypothyroidism must stay away from 3 things ,dairy soy ,gluten or wheat ,start doing keto and do 18/6 fasting alternative with 16/8 .Go to sleep take vitamin d3/k2 with prebiotic and magnesium glycinate, you will asleep. Keep watching dr berg video on both menopause and hypothyroidism, you will see all I just said .I learn to bake my own bread ,and u only drink kefir ,and coconut milk not other milk ,heal your gut first ,lower your sugar ,your carb and also your fruits.
Soymilk in my cereal completely stopped my night drenches and hot flashes, however it then caused my heart rate to go up. Now I just do a little soy short term when I need it and stop to prevent that side effect and that works for me. Although it caused me a side effect with regular use, it really did take the flushes and drenches away immediately.
Just an anecdotal story of my own, Black Cohosh sailed me through menopause 18 years ago. O accidently bought too low of a dose once and the hit flashes were horrific. Hope this helps someone.
What amount is a good dose?
@kathybeal4408 540 mg helped fir me. I'm shadow banned on them tube do you probably won't see this😢
I'm 55 and have been on hormone patches for menopause for the past 6 years !! I also suffer from seizures as Epilepsy medication just doesn't work for me ,and I get terrible migraines , tinnitus and memory loss .
Im going to try this and the Keto diet , it sounds good going by the comments.
So glad this popped up on my page.
The incredible, edible egg 🥚 And…high quality grass fed butter.
Since I was young, I always remembered the good and bad cholesterol as LOUSY for LDL and Happy for the HDL . Very informative video, thank you. Regarding. Low fat, I always noticed higher sugar content esp if packaged.
Thanks Doc but as a vegan I wouldn’t want to increase consumption of any of those. I eat the usual avocado, olive oil, mct, cashew butter, coconut oils. I have found taking black cohosh each day helps with the restlessness and hot sweats. I also take Ginkgo Biloba which helps with brain fog
Yess 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
I survived menopausal flashes thanks to Dr. Eric videos! Keto and intermittent fasting!

I’m eating healthy dr berg but I’ve put on weight because of full menopause I’m so fed up my breasts have got really big I hate it is there anything I can take 😢
Happy 😊 New Year Dr. BERG & Family.
I feel so much confident knowing your healthy videos are on Utube as to be honest you are probably the only Doctor some people can listen too . Knowing you know what you are talking about & genuine with real care for people. That is great to know as more people are self diagnosed due to many reasons.

Can you get neuropathy in your menopause
Dr Berge. Ive been fat fasting for a week and I stopped my statin and ive have lost 7 pnds and sugars are normal
And memory is better. You are saving my life.
Congrats🎉..What is Fat Fasting?
If I could afford it, I would be under the care of a functional medicine doctor. Unfortunately, I guess insurance companies don't contract with them.
My menopausal symptoms have been severe for almost 25 years now. The hot flashes alternate with big chill downs every few minutes, it feels exactly like the fever and chills I got with one or two bad childhood infections. I never turned on my furnace winter and slept with just one linen sheet. One time, I got really bad multiple hot flashes while visiting a new friend at her too-warm house, when I got up from the sofa, it had multiple rings of damp, salt stains on it from my severe sweating. I was mortified and wasn’t invited back. It controls what I can wear, do and where I can go and when. I live like a hermit in the warm season in my one room with an AC unit. I’ve tried and tried to get the hormones, but am always denied because of my unfavorable lipid profile. I get some improvement now from the anti-depressant that I was prescribed for it, but it makes me grind my teeth unbearably 24 hours. Age 62, normal weight, take Atorvastatin. I became so down, when standing at the DMV counter, sweating like crazy, I complained to the lady helping me, she said “I hate to tell you this, but the hot flashes never go away, either”. I will try your remedy, doctor, it’s the first ray of hope. We shouldn’t have to live like this, if men got this, the problem would have been solved decades ago.
Good luck!
I go through the sweats all day, my close get drenched! Since I was 37 now at 51 it's worst! I clicked on this video so fast, hopefully this works. And, you're right if this was MEN!

Hi Kimberly, My name is Alessandra, and I'm an Italian lady. I'm 56 years old, and I'm crossing the same hell... My bedroom is the coldest room, I sleep alone cause can't have anybody close to me, i use a cotton sheet, I sleep only with a knickers and t-shirt, I let open the window and..... I live in high mountain....very very cold outside, but every night is a real nightmare for me, insonnia, ansia, flush, I feel like I'm burning alive. Now are 6 years of this "no-life". I know what you feel 😢 someone told me to use an herb called red clover, i will try ....and i will try to eat what this doctor say. Well, I want to send you a big hug and wish for you a good luck! Sorry for my English.....
I'm 65 and started experiencing symptoms in my late forties knowing I was on my way to menopause when my last made at clear at 53. I skated through menopause though once I started exercising daily and not rigorously joyfully. Might want to try it. For me it started out walking down to the end of the block because I was overweight and ended up with me dancing through the neighborhood up and down hills for 45 minutes and I hope and pray you can find a solution that works for you.
There’s never been a proven link between eating dietary cholesterol and high blood cholesterol anyway, it was just assumed in the days when “non- or low-fat” diets were incorrectly considered healthier. I want to get off the statin now, thanks for the great explanation. As for not eating fats to lose weight, I find the direct opposite is true, I always lose weight when eating lots of salad and chicken/beef/tuna, etc., even with the blue cheese piled on. When I eat things like bread, rice and potatoes, it packs the weight on, even though they are “lower calorie” overall.
I am 51. Thank you Dr. Berg. I love you to pieces!❤
You're welcome. Hope you enjoyed watching the video.
My only symptoms have been over heating. I thought it was stopping my last fall, but now I'm getting hot flashes again. Not as bad though and stops quick enough. Cold makes it stop faster, so I take my socks off and step on something cold, or turn on a fan. That's it, just over heating which has been very annoying. I want it to stop.
Oh goodness! Me too, I suffer with the overheating 😪

About 5 years ago I did get some sort of heat flash but I learned to drink room temp water every morning instead of cold water. It helped a lot and then in 2018 I went and found Dr Berg and incorporated some of his knowledge and haven't had any symptoms at all.
in time away it goes
Less caffeine intake, less hot flashes for me.
I has instant menopause at 49. Cancer gene in family's. Went low carb at 52. Symptoms dropped at the time, but never connected it to my massive increase in animal fats, especially butter.

So…. how much butter per day? A few tablespoons, maybe?
Dr. Berg is the only doctor ill ever listen to.
So happy to know that I can continue to eat butter, organ meats and lots of greens. This explains why I never got any of these symptoms of Menopause. The medical community is backward on some many health related subject. Thank you @Dr. Eric Berg DC
55 and rarely have had any menopausal symptoms. Carbohydrates, sugars, packaged foods are aggravators.

Boom! Thanks again doc...no so called menopausal symptoms whatsoever...approaching 52...your kind of keto diet for 2 months now low carb for me not no carb and exercise. You are a blessing to many. All praises to the Most High!

I’ve been on keto for only a month and a half and already my hot flushes have gone and my anxiety spikes have too. The peripheral neuropathy in my feet is much improved and hopefully my Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is on its way as well. I’m in it for the long haul. Thanks Dr Berg and team. You’re amazing!
What is keto?
@@gachamoonlight7412it’s short for ketogenic, Google it
Does keto help with low libido
My dad had peripheral neuropathy. No doctors could figure it out. Do you know what caused yours, in your instance? Was it autoimmune related?
I LOVE butter!
Okay cant agree with you on this. Myself and MANY ofmy friends do Keto ansd this is doing NOTHING for our menopause symptoms
Dr berg! Thank heavens for you! You just helped me get rid of a week long brutal eyelid twitch. It was alkalosis from too much San pellegrino for months (bicarbonates) then a food poisoning episode where I lost my gastric acid. Two doses of acv and no more twitch! I had been craving black tea and ascorbic acid tablets so my body knew! I had posted it on fb when I was desperate for help and two doctors I know were talking about screen time and magnesium: nobody mentioned alkalosis!
Tonic water also gets rid of eye twitches for many people (including myself). This advice from Dr. Eye Guy on TH-cam.
WELL WHAT IF YOU HAVE HAD BREAST CANCER ESTROGEN POSITIVE AND ARE TAKING TAMOXIFEN???YHOS WOULD SEEM COUNTERPRODUCTIVE...ESP. IF DOC SAID CANCER WAS ESTROGEN FED!!!!!!THIS SUX 4 US TYPE OF WOMEN....
WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST NOW DOC??????
I love how you nail it in these videos. You learn more on here in 5 minutes than what you do wasting money going to the doctor for 5 years! THANKS 👍👍!!!! I have very little perimenopausal symptoms. I would add though, that if youve got endometrosis going into menopuase, to get your cholesterol sources from non dairy, such as eggs, and organic sources of meat, including organ meat once or twice a week.
Happy New Year Doctor. You are a blessing to us. Your videos has helped me alot to change my lifestyle and make correct choices especially concerning food.
All the best for 2023. Wishing you joy and great health.
I am 61 and 4.5 years post menopause and had hardly any symptons other than the obvious one. I rarely eat eggs, never eat butter and overall have a low fat diet. Only eat chicken but not very much / often. No seafood or anything else recommended here. However I have been a one meal a day person for most of my adult life, and I ended up thinking from something I once read, that this could be the reason I had such an easy menopause 🤷♀
I had an easy one eating crap.
@@rhaven50 My theory just went through the window then 😂 I feel bad for those who have a bad time though.
@@amandadavies.. Na, I think genetics can play into it. Some people have a hard time and some sail through. I think for those that have symptoms, diet could make a difference for sure.
@@rhaven50 Difficult to say regarding my mother as she died aged 49 when I was only 17, yet I don't recall anything that I would now recognise as menopause / bad symptoms. I actually don't recall any other relatives complaining about it either.
I can vouch that IF and keto massively reduced my symptoms. Bloods said I have high good cholesterol - 9kg weightless so far too.
Wow, wow, wow. Golden info Dr. TY🙏🏼 Happy New Year! Thank you for all that you do🤩
I was watching women who lived up on the mountain eating animal fat, cooking with it and making and eating butter and they're all strong like an ox..they haul wood and garden, living off grid
Im 50 and following a high fat animal based eating strategy. I have zero menopausal symptoms yet. Healed 8 different health issues in a matter of weeks. I feel 25. I look younger than my age. Starting to lose some of the 20 lbs I needed to lose while eating TWICE AS MUCH. I didn't realize I'd been severely undereating my entire life. Always changing and adjusting my approach as I learn. Thanks Dr Berg, you are helping change everything.
OMG, I LOVE BUTTER. When I eat meat, I eat it with a TON of grassfed butter. Butter, butter, butter on EVERYTHING.
I have had the worst menopause symptoms for two years. This is a terrible way to live and I’m turning fifty in a few months. It’s true your pretty much on your own for how you can live with symptoms.
What would you suggest if you're vegan?
Long ago I had a doctor I used to see put me on statins and back then I didn’t know much about them. They immediately made my blood sugars higher, and gave me horrible muscle aches. I stopped taking them. The doctors I saw over the years wanted to put me on them again and I said NO! They never believed me that they made my blood sugars higher. I’m 51 and have been doing carnivore since October 2022, I feel great. I’m now doing BBBE (I can’t eat plant foods or fruits due to digestive issues), and my blood sugars have improved in just a few days! I don’t have peri menopausal symptoms anymore either. Meat heals!! 💪🏻
I contracted bacterial meningitis this past October. A MRI was taken when I was in a medically induced coma and then a week later. The second MRI showed I had had a small stroke since they had taken the 1st MRI. I have been put on a statin due to the drs. saying I am now more prone to having another stroke. I DO NOT want to be on a statin but am afraid of possibly having more strokes! I don't know what to do.
I started having issues in my late 30's. I'm now 53, and I swear by Kerrygold butter, raw milk with full fat, and lots of sunshine. I finally moved from the Appalachians to middle Georgia because I couldn't get enough D3/K2 in me due to the lack of sunshine. I was taking mega doses. Now I just get it naturally and feel much better than I did in my 30's, but I travel with my milk and butter. Can't live without it.
Hi, what kind of full fat milk do you drink? Do you cook with the butter?
Thanks again dr Berg❤ G'd Bless you. You took away a lot of fear again. After my uteruscancer and removal of my uterus and overy, i thought this was the end, so my docter told me...lie nr 145 again by medical docters. Why dont the know this??? Honestly. Its insane. Thanks to you, i am on a low carb diet, vit D. Now healthy foods, like diary butter etc. Getting better by the day. 7 years in remission, cancerfree, my liver back to normal again. Taste and smell back, no burning mouth again. Most of my pain gone. Rewiring my brain from chronic pain and fear. And having good sleep again. Also using the Matrix methode to delete my traumas, its all working. ❤❤❤ so thanks to you to dr Berg. You are one of my Heros❤
My perimenopause is so bad that the episodes depressions became really scary; my kids are teenagers and need me through this troubled stage of their life …but I do stupid things during the depression flares .
I follow your diet plan and I still have the worst menopausal symptoms! I am scared what they would be like if I didn’t follow your suggestions. Please don’t tell people it’s not normal to go through these symptoms.
Pls do a video about glaucoma 🙏🙏
Well that is a fail!
Since going low carb/keto about 5 years ago I consistently eat red meat, eggs at least 2, butter and cream every day. I am fortunate enough to live in New Zealand where we have very high quality grass fed meat and dairy. I walk the dog 5ks every day and also go tramping, go to Pilates, and am reasonably fit and not overweight.
Still get crazy symptoms since going into menopause 7 years ago. Flushing, night sweats and sleeplessness - every single day. So no 'magical' cure there!
I've tried all the natural remedies, none of them have worked. The Dr can only recommend hormone therapy, and sleeping tablets, It looks like I am one of the women for whom menopause is a life sentence.
PS every time some-one writes that they didn't get any symptoms because they do X,Y,Z I want to scream LOL!
I’m 50 and on my way to menopause, I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting for the last 2 years and thank goodness I love butter and cheese! Good to know what my body needs at this age. Thank you!😊
What’s the best cheese? Raw?
@@ET-ri4dtGouda is a good one & cream cheese another, but TRY not to get bagged cheese get whole& shred or cut yourself , that’s the point & pasture raised eggs, meat , butter etc etc GHEE it’s called !!!
has any of this information been scientifically proven to work for stopping hot flashes???🤔
