I have had PCOS for 20 years and no help until you Dr. Berg. I have lost 60 lbs in 2 months. Thank you
The Glam Truth how did you lose the weight?
Hi I hope you don't mind me asking what you did to lose the weight because I have PCOS and I have been struggling to lose weight.
What was your starting wgt?
I have got pcos and until I found Dr Berg channel and I have lost loads of weight
Road2Raw Try ketogenic diet and IF
I struggled with weight gain, facial hair, irregular periods or no periods at all, and lost my window of fertility for having my own family thanks to this manageable disorder that none of the Drs that I've gone to ever explained! I'm hoping that your video on this helps women suffering with this at least have the chance they deserve at health, and having a family! 💖
same emotions, life spent in fruitless struggle ...
Me too
Oh this comment 💔❤️
Same here! So HOW DO YOU GET CURED?????
Such a sweet comment ❤💕💖
Only thing worse than having PCOS is not knowing what causes it and how to stop it. Thank You Dr. Berg.
Carbs cause it alcohol and sugar
I learned the reason for my PCOS in the length of this video than in the 18 years that I had it. Thanks for the video Dr. Berg!
AGREED!!!
Right!!!
how have you been coping? it's been 9years of struggle and I feel like running away from my body.
AGREE
@@samavera7097 I have pcos and diabetes type 2 but since following Dr Eric Berg I have changed my eating habits and I no longer have to snack at night and please give IF and healthy keto healthy eating plan and you wil find if you had any cravings they will go away and I have learned so much and first time ever I am losing weight not gaining weight without being hungry
I got my periods back after 6 six years by doing 1 month of keto diet(suffering from pcos for many years).
Thanks alot to dr. Berg
I hope I will conceive soon after 5 years of infertility.
It took me 3 years with pcos but I conceived naturally! Its possible! Best of luck!!!

It's been three months now.
My periods are regular again.
So fingers crossed.
Oh k dear..best of luck..thank u fr ur rpy..
What about acne so they disappear?
I was diagnosed with pcos about 20 years ago & this video was the most information I’ve been given ever! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
“Blah blah blah”. Lol. I love how you refer to what “mainstream” medical “professionals” say! Keep at it Doc!👍🤜
Thank you Dr. Berg. I’ve had pcos since I was 15. This was the most informative video I have seen. I have been on intermittent fasting and keto for a month it’s worked wonders. My energy level is through the roof.
Have you gotten regular periods back?
Great info. Thanks Dr. Berg 💜🌼
Excessive stress
Excessive insuline
Excessive GMO food
I have PCOS. I’m 39 and have never been pregnant. This is such a frustrating condition I have. Thank you for this information. I’ve been doing keto since October and I have really enjoyed your videos in my search to break my stall.
Continue to heal your body, lower your insulin, keto, and hopefully you will conceive 🙂
thank you my favorite you tube doctor
Mine too!
Went to a naturopath today and she said she thought I might likely have PCOS. Will need to do further testing. But just reading up about it all and watching these videos makes me think I do - I have all the symptoms! Weight gain especially my tummy, inability to lose weight even though I’m eating healthier than I ever have before, facial hair, thin hair on my head that just won’t grow, just bloody all of it. I think I’ve had it for years but that with the combination of being on antidepressants for the last year has brought it more to the surface. It’s so nice to have something to work towards though. I feel relieved that it’s not just me and not normal, and that I can work on it, make it better or even reverse it. Your videos are bloody amazing Dr Berg, thank you for all your help with vitamins & mineral knowledge, liver issues, ACV, and hormones. Plus all the rest - you really are a wealth of knowledge, thank you!
Thanks for making this link with roundup Dr. Berg. In addition to GMO avoidance, you must avoid all conventionally grown wheat, sugar and potatoes. These crops are sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest to "dessicate" the plant. Though not GMO, in fact it won't work on GMO strains, the entire plant is infused with roundup then delivered to your plate packing a huge load of the herbicide which cannot be washed off. For more, see Dr. Stefanie Senef's work at MIT on this.
this is probably why PCOS and adrenal fatigue people have success with diets that avoid grains, starches and sugar. Why didn't the diets of people consuming high amounts of these foods in the 50s cause such spikes in PCOS, diabetes etc.? Sure it was not a healthy diet but these crops weren't so laced with roundup as they've become in the past 20 years.
Anna Eugae
thats organic,as he said
This has made me understand PCOS so vividly. Thank you Eric Berg.
I learned more from this video than I have in 20 years. Bless you Dr. Berg
THE BEST explanation of PCOS. Many doctors and natural doctors cannot explain this in layman's terms and you did just that. Thabk you for this. As someone who has PCOS, changing my diet has done wonders for my body. Now to get back to it! Thank you Dr. Berg
I live in Australia and I had polycystic ovaries from the ages of 21 to 30 (I’m now 53). 1.5 years prior to the diagnosis, I experienced excruciatingly painful and ridiculously heavy 9 day periods. I had countless numbers of ultrasounds and blood work (all different locations) and saw countless numbers of doctors. One outright told me I was imagining the pain and another told me I had an STD. I told her it was impossible as I was still a virgin and she literally laughed out loud and decided I was constipated and needed fiber. After an emergency hospital visit and another ultrasound, I was finally told I had a cyst the size of an orange on my left ovary. It took 2 days following the surgery for the surgeon to see me in the ward to tell me she’d removed my ovary as well. A few years later I married and couldn’t conceive, went on IVF after being told I had adhesions/scaring but gave up after two years when I felt they weren’t being honest. and I felt deceived with the info they were providing. I found a naturopath who mixed up tonics to clear it up. It worked! I was finally free of 3 x per years laparoscopic procedures to clear the scaring in my tubes. I fell pregnant numerous times but miscarried so my gynecologist suggested I have genetic counseling (genetic bloodwork/tests). The professor told me I was very fertile and had no fertility issues and that my husband’s sperm were either headless or tailless and that I was lucky my body rejected each pregnancies (stopped counting after eight) because it detected an abnormality each time. If they’d survived each one would’ve been down syndrome. My instincts about the IVF specialist/hospital did not fail me. This was my naturopath’s explanation...I had a spot on my pituitary gland (responsible for distributing hormones) which was preventing equal distribution which resulted in the cysts as well as the scaring. I’d love to know Dr Berg’s thoughts on this reason please.
dontknow my experience was many years ago and all those issues have been resolved thanks to a great naturopath I found.
Maybe you’re low on iodine. Watch Dr Berg’s video on iodine n esp n thyroid.
this has been the best explanation for me too understand pcos, i was diagnose a year ago and no ones completely explained it properly to me... so thank you for this but if you can i would also like a follow up video about treatments we can use
YES , HE HAS EXPLAINED THIS THOROUGHLY! BETTER THAN ANY DR THAT I HAVE BEEN TO. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THIS AS WELL. THANK YOU DR BERG!
GlamorDoll True. The doctor who diagnosed me with pcos last year didn't explain to me properly so I was left in the dark for quite a while. All I know is it's concerning infertility. I don't give a damn about that. The acne that suddenly came after pcos is what concerns me the most. Plus The weight gain is also very frustrating too.
GlamorDoll he's my go to dr, even more than my primary care physician.
Me, too and over the years I've had different physicians, none of them was any help nor had a clear knowledge about pcos.
This American doctor is far far better than any of the UK doctors who are yet to be able to explain to their patients like this properly, instead they are only good at their dismissive attitude and ambiguous statements.
Brilliant doc 😃 I have been suffering from pcos from last 8 years now i am 21.. I had chronic stress for 5 years and after that symptoms appeared.
And how do you treat it ??
Short video that went straight to the point! I really could binge watch Dr Berg’s videos! Informative, easy to understand, and not boring at all! You really make this world a better place by what you’re contributing to us!
My doctor said it's hereditary yet I know noone in my family that struggles with this but me. Ugh!
For some it is largely genetic, they have recently linked it to other genetic/hereditary things such as, early menstruation, male pattern baldness, a male version of pcos and family history. My fathers mother had pcos, my father and grandfather both have male pattern baldness and my mother also had pcos. I have pcos. The average menstruation age in my family is 12. I was 7 years old when mine started
@@nicolamcd5769 oh Lord... You had periods at 7?poor baby....
Me too
Doctors always claim something is hereditary. I'm not denying that there are hereditary conditions but I've found one condition that more hereditary than all, our eating habits.
@@TheBkdot lol yeah i eat healthy swim since i was a kid have completely regular periods on the dot every month how can pcos be in me? Care to explain😣😐😐
OMG, the explanation is so clear and on point! Love you Dr. Berg🥰🥰🥰
One of THE best explanations I've found this far! Many Thanks!
Thank you for explaining so vividly.. it all make sense. My PCOS got worse with all these factors for past four years.
You are the smartest person I know I listen to you every day you explain everything so clearly
You are the BEST! Nobody wants to talk about the cause! Like you said, its always a mumbo jumbo of information leading to cause - unknown. Thanks so much for all the information you provide us with that others dont. Ive learnt so much from you. You realllly want to help people, and that’s a rare trait these days.
This is simply amazing! I got hypothyroidism right after I used to do a lot of cardio and this video explained it so well to why I got it
Can u plz explain what's the connection??
But cardio is known to reduce androgens!
Thank you Dr.Eric Berg, for this valuable medical information,now we know better! PCOS is no longer a mystery to us women,because you taught us what causes that condition. With your help, we can hope to heal ourselves naturally without having to resort to costly operation. GOD BLESS U, Dr Eric Berg! You are truly GOD Sent!
I was diagnosed probably 11 years ago. I got no symptoms ( no pain during cycle and irregular cycle). The ob only told me dont eat too much meat and legumes stuffs. I forgot about it. Life became hard and i stressed so much, and I tend to get hungrgy(also suspecting i have ulcers) when stressed. Gained lots of weight. The past 2 years, i started to have pain during my period to where I'd almost colapsed. Then i remember i have PCOS. Never saw a doc. Christmas eve 2017, i was rushed to the er for stomach pain. Ct scan showed i have large ovarian cyst. It wasnt actually the area that i was in pain but im glad they found out. One good day i was mowing the lawn which i usually do, my left where the ovary was started to ache. I then went to a doctor. Lotta pain meds was given and then they automatically send me another month worth of pain meds. I cried a lot(not a fan of taking pain meds or any meds. I started to feel it when i move even a step to the toilet is an agony. Till i just lay in bed 24/7. Due to my insurance, i had to had surgery almost 4 months later. Just had it last wedsneday and i never felt better since it was gone.
I wish I had this info 10 years ago. Thank you Dr. Berg... you are the BEST doctor.
Wow I've finally got to understand this condition and why I developed Cervical Cancer thank you so much Dr Berg for all the educational videos they mean the world!! I now know what changes I need to make to prolong my life and improve my health 🤗😍
Dear Dr. Berg, first of all thanks a lot for your amazingly clear videos and all the good information and the connections between body reactions that noone really talks about.
Could you do a second video where you explain what women with PCOS can do to fix it or at least make it get better?
Thank you in advance.
Yadilove he did say the causes so it's obvious what you must do: no GMOs, eat organic and try to find why you're stressed and proactively learn ways to calm down. I wish you all the best.
No sugar as well
Wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bless you sir. You have truly enlightened me,
Clear, direct to the point and just stating facts.👍👏 This is the best explanation for PCOS that I saw. That's why I love Dr.Berg!
Will save this and take this to my Endocrinologist. I’ve been diagnosed with PCOS when I was in my 20’s and I want my own family. Thank you
Thank you!! That was the MOST informative, clear and concise information I have EVER heard on this subject! Thank you again!
I have this , and I have. 4 year old little boy and I'm pregnant with a little girl I'm very lucky :)
I have two boys and I have PCOS no drug intervention or anything and I'm very lucky too!
@@candysmith8724 I have pcos since five now im unable to concieve
How did they cure your PCOS?
You are (blessed) because alot of women with this condition can't have children!😢
I have pcos but am about to have ovarian wedge resection surgery to help relieve my pcos and help me conceive. This surgery helps a lot of women with pcos....ask a Naprotechnology surgeon about it.
From the bottom of my heart ❤️ thank you. I have been praying 🙏 to God to help me with PCOS and acne. I tried supplements but my mistake was I need to DETOX first. God bless you my friend.
You can take pantothenic acid for acne.
This is the best video i have ever watched on what causes PCOS, wish i found this earlier. Thank you doctor
Thank you doctor you explain things very well !
I took L-Carnitine (Minartine) amino acid twice a day. My muscles became stronger, my hair better due to hormone balance. No amnesia, no foggy brain. Stopped filling tired every morning. My period was steady for the first time in my life without any further medication (contraception pills). I got pregnant easily. My pregnancy was fine without any complications. I only stopped taking Carnitine during my pregnancy.
People with under active thyroids might want to be wary of Carnitine. It is actually used to counteract hyperthyroidism and can block thyroid hormones. So in the long run it can be detrimental to health.
Thyroid cancer at 35, infertility and did ivf and produced 39, yes 39 eggs and no baby!!! did keto now my periods are regular! but i am back to being addicted to sugar
Talk to Dr Mabosa on TH-cam he can help you
I sometimes don't like Dr. Bergman but this time he makes sense. I told my daughter that her half-sister and friend suffer from polycistic ovarian syndrome because both of them are heavy, have pimples and loose their hair. She started to point out that we all have cysts and I'm always wrong about diagnosis. Now Dr. Berg pointed out that the disease should by called folicular instead of cystic. I mentioned that GMO could trigger the disease. And bang, this is exactly what Dr. Berg is saying.
Thank you so much, that was very helpful. This is a very good reason to leave out GMO foods. Are there any other substances though, that can inhibit the enzyme?
Oh Phu-k
I have been suffering for over 30 yrs. currently have enlarged cystitist and used evening primrose and eliminated sugar…WoW! It’s shrinking.
I just got diagnosed with pcos today. Turns out i have had this for 10yrs. Wish I had found Dr berg's videos back then. My life would have been so much better without these problems
Now that you know, just change your diet n your health should be back to normal. Eat high omega 3 foods, organic foods and lots of cooked greens. And organic pasture raised eggs helps tremendously!
@@Ally-oi6lm will do! Thankyou 😊
Thank you so much Dr. Berg. You are amazing! Such a caring and selfless person.
This is excellent information. I’m realizing this was my problem years ago. I was never diagnosed but had all the symptoms and still have high androgen symptoms. I’m going to ask my physician for a hormone test. Thanks so much!
This is the best explanation I've ever gotten. Thank you so much.
This makes a lot of sense to me, I saved a series of related topics of yours to my folder, thank you Eric!
Excess of stress, excess of sugar, and GMO chemical foods (herbicide - glyphosate or roundup (Monsanto)) may cause PCOS
Thank you, I needed this!
Thank you so much for is video!! I have been dealing with PCOS for 10 years and not one of my doctors have ever been able to give me an explanation like this. It make so much more sense. If possible I would like to ask you more questions.
Great video! Explanation was very precise and easy to comprehend.
That's great explanation. No one ever talks about the enzyme being blocked. What's the fastest way to free this pathway .. (after switching to organic diet)?
Yes, this is great explanation, just we all can quit sugar, gmo food and again not cure pcos. Because the cause is hereditary and it is related with many other hormones related with the pituitary. I'm not sure how will you explain how some people eat sugar, GMO and don't have PCOS?!
how to cure pcos?
Hey, I am a nutritionist studying Dietetics and am very interested in PCOS. I would love to read more about these things you mentioned, do you by any chance have any links to resources or studies that outline these mechanisms in more detail. Thank you :)
I enjoyed this video and the explanation of the overian cyst (as a women ) and you look so calm and kind while you explain it.
THANK YOU Dr BERG
This is it! Thanks doctor. I need to see this on loop. 😁
Ty for the clearest explanation I have found so far.
Does salt (or sodium/potassium) levels contribute to high androgens?
Oh my god. I have been searching for years after years the word UNKNOWN kills me. Thank you so so much this is the most helpful info I ever heard. You are totally right about the GMO food I tried to avoid it as much as possible on the past which was very difficult However I noticed big improve in my health, mood, even my sleep got a lot better. THANK YOU AGAIN.
Thank you so much for this video. I am over 35 and getting concerned with irregular periods, facial hair growth, weight gain, and more. I had a blood test done today to make sure I am releasing eggs during my cycle. A few months ago I had an ultrasound that showed the follicles and a small fibroid. My GP did some blood test but I wasn't told I had PCOS and that my blood sugar levels were normal, even though hypoglymeica is something I have battled my entire life. After watching your video, this all makes so much sense. It is refreshing to see it in simple terms from a real medical perspective and not told be told that there is "nothing wrong". I found your video to be informative and very eye opening in a way to take my own health back. Thank you so much.
Try eating more omega 3 foods, cooked greens, pasture raised eggs work up to 6 a day and I think you will see some positive changes within a few months!
Im starting to think the chemicals on tampons and pads are whats causing these abnormalities
WOW~!!! Thank you for posting this video! I just started to remove a lot of foods from my diet, and have noticed a difference just in mood. Great information!
So I should cut down sugar, eat less GMO foods, and exercise because it helps me reduce stress. GRACIAS!!!
this helped alot. i now understand a bit more about my pcos
This is the best I've learnt about the causes of PCOs thank you
Thank you! Finally someone pointing out the name PCOS is inaccurate. It’s such a relief to hear about the causes. All the docs just want to give you BC and send you off with little information. This is the best explanation I’ve heard!
This is incredibly helpful and makes so much sense
great video, knowledge is power, thanks for the upload I have leaned so very interesting facts today
This really helped me understand, thank you.
Thank you dr. Berg, great as always
Best Advice in health & fitness. 🤝DR BERG. MUCH RESPECT
So informative! I love all of your videos and how you look to treat conditions from a natural standpoint rather than filling our bodies with more unnatural substances. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Great video doctor, I have pcos I grow excess hair is sad that I cant have the medical insurance help at least with laser hair removal , is more than just physical , its mentally and emotionally embarrassing I sometimes want to give up makes you feel less than a woman I get the worse in grown in my thighs because of the thickness of the hair, is so coarse I cant shave without crying because is painful , my facial hair grown unbelievable fast i have to used makeup to help hide the Marks, ty for explaining it this way, I'll be in the look out to avoid this gmo food
Thank you SO MUCH for shedding some light on this all too common disease!!
Thanks so much doctor. Please upload more videos regarding PCOS. I am really trying my best to cure this in my body and the pregnancy is my ultimate goal. Btw, non GMO food is so hard to find in Korea. Sigh..
Best explanation I've seen so far on the root causes of PCOS.
I have pcos and my doctor at a fertility clinic told me I shouldn't keep any diets and with clomid it should be fine. 1 year later, no baby and 15kg gained weight I can vouch for the truth in this video. So much additional stress caused by the hormone stimulation from clomid and ovidrell if you already have pcos, had I researched it earlier I would have saved myself a lot of pain.
Jessica Weise thanks for the suggestion. I am trying to loose the weigh first, taking a break from doctors and treatments and just enjoying my marriage and focusing on my health.
Great job Dr. Berg!!!
There has to be other things that block the enzyme or depleate it like stomach issues or liver or pancreas issues. I don’t eat GMOS
Just diagnosed with PCOS today. I pushed for testing on this, and I knew I had it. Sigh.
@S M. you badically need to insist to your doctor that something isnt right and you suspect you have it. Ask Dr to go in for testing. There will be an Ultrasound and Internal if you choose. You have to advocate for yourself or the Dr's wont do anything. If you suspect you have it you probably do, Its actually very common
I have pcos... and I was on clomid for over 3 years... 2 children later I have no regrets... weight gain yes but it was worth it! Not disagreeing with a healthy diet tho... all in the eye of the beholder.
Very well explained thanks so much :)
Thank you for reporting PCOS not many Doctors report about or investigate OB/GYN
Thank you so so much, you helped out my mom (and possibly me) with this video!
this was my exact theory! i have been easing my way into a fully raw vegan diet and i have had tremendous improvement in my health! this is true without a doubt!
Lol! The beard is way too funny, and makes me feel a lot better about my ten whiskers. :)
Natalie M. Campbell ten? lucky u. I got lots of kitty like whiskers on the corners of upper lip. 🐱
I have a proper beard and this just made even more insecure about it
@@hazzaandlou2731 get it lasered even men do it these days... unfortunately
Thanks for the video . Been trying to find an accurate answer ever since
Dr Berg; You are great! You should have your own t.v. Show and be a multi millionaire. You are so special. So helpful, without silliness.
wonderful way explaining!!
Thank-you for educational videos
Thankyou for research
Thankyou for precious time spending educating us
Regards
This video makes a load of sense! Thanks Dr Berg!
Great video, short and to the point. Thank you
This is a great video. I would like to add that from my research I fully believe PCOS can also be hereditary. The reason I believe this is because I am in my mid 40s and have had my period since I was 12 years old. From the time I was 12 years old, until I was 18 years old I think I had my period about 8-10 times. Sometimes I would only get it once a year. My sister and I have the same parents and she got her period when she was 11 and had it like clockwork every 28 days. I had to use IVF to have my twins, my sister had 6 kids before she had her tubes tied. Our Father has Aunts that were similar to my sister and I. One never was able to conceive and we are "built" the same. Large midsection, typical facial hair etc. And the other sister had several children. I was first told mine was Stein-Leventhal syndrome. I didn't hear PCOS until my Fertility dr educated me. Again, I think this video is great, but there is no cure for PCOS, even if you were to eat a perfect, chemical free diet. I thank you for being so informative.
My young daughter has endometriosis, I hate the options my doctor gave us. Could you do a lesson that that? Please.
Thank you! I couldn't find this info on the web!
Thank u for these informational videos..... I want to ask ...estron level in PCOS is high which leads to endometrial carcinoma .... Is there any change in breast related to estrone level ...?????????...and why this estron not send negative feedback to pitutary to decrease LH level.... Plz tell me about this ....i am a medical student suffering from PCOS ........wants to know real problem
Great video! thank you!!! would LOVE to know more on this!
