I'm a strong believer in our health/weight being tied to hormones and our microbiome as opposed to the CICO model people cling to. You are the first doctor I've seen actually break down body type according to hormonal issues! Thank you so much for educating people on important, live-saving knowledge that other doctors are unable or unwilling to.
I really respect your knowledge on the Thyroid. I feel like a lot of doctors don't take it as a serious matter, and don't do much investigation beyond the initial levels found in a single blood test.
Yes Exactly.. Most GPS will Dispense Medication on Assumptions. Im a combo of Liver & Thyroid Body Type as my Fat starts from the middle of my chest , love handles & a Pot Belly so im going to go with the Liver type diet & lower protein intake. My Thyroid is normal. My Mother has a definite Thyroid Body Type so Genetically i will too.
I have Hashimoto’s but am an adrenal body type. I couldn’t lose any weight until I started taking Progesterone, doing intermittent fasting, and lowering my carbohydrate intake. I’ve lost about 15 lbs so far, but need to lose 20- 25 more. But now, I’m hopeful!!!!
Just so you know, you don't need much cortisol in the body for it to affect your weight. In the adrenal body type, the adrenals communicate with the thyroid to shut down the thyroid. The adrenals communicate with the liver to overproduce fat. There's an overproduction of sugar as well. The body also takes protein from the legs and stores it as fat around the organs. Blood tests won't show you this. It's important to reduce stress and rest more. Laugh at the milk that your kids spilt on the floor and stay calm. Otherwise your body will become it's own fat making machine. Keep exercise light and easy. Same with diet.
Dr Eric, I have already turned on full volume for my mobile phone, but your voice is still very low , can you please able to turn your volume higher while filming? Thanks very much for your thoughtfulness 🙏🙏
Michelle Williams ...me 2, I struggled. I usually like his vids and his voice is usually perfect.. Not loud and hyper, but sincere and convincing.. This is on the very quiet side..
I'm definitely the adrenal body type! I have had a sagging belly since I had my baby 9 years ago! I also have PTSD from an abusive relationship. So, yes, lots of stress. Lots of long-term, sustained fight-or-flight response to everything in life.
hope the ptsd is better. from these replies i guess lots of folks have same issue. for myself i have come to recognize my responses learned during worse times are not relevant in new situations but are sometimes engaged and active despite me. learning to stop and breathe and take my time before responding has helped. kinda like choosing your action as opposed to an automatc reaction. not always easy but i am still practicing. be well.
I don't normally leave these kind of comments, but I'm the Ovarian body type. Interestingly, I've known that my diet needs to be like that from my own conclusions and how my body reacts/builds fat from certain types of foods. I'm actually dumb-founded how accurate this is.
Incredible! Thank you Doctor Berg for sharing these on TH-cam. It helps me a lot, it gave me ideas about stuff. And even though I'm still thirteen years old at least I have ideas about Health and things about our body. I just watched some of your videos and I hope it will help me with my concern for my body.
Hi Dr. Berg, i just wanted to say thank you . I am so grateful to find you, if I didn’t I never would have made changes for my health. My obgyn and dermatologist both suggested for me to go on birth control to control my acne breakouts. I’ve been on it for 7 years now. After watching your videos, I’ve learned why most of my weight goes to my waist down, because of the over production of estrogen in my system. Today, I’m making changes, and it’s going to take time but i hope to make the changes to be healthier for my own body
Holy crap... Thank you for this. Adrenal mesomorph Amazon over here. I'm still a little confused but definitely ready to learn as much as possible. So thanks for sharing
Wow, the description of the first type is EXACTLY me! Everything about it describes me perfectly, from the stress problems and the salt and chocolate cravings to the feeling of needing more protein and vegetables! Thank you, Dr. Berg!! I'm a huge fan of your channel!
I'm crying; because... I realize now I grew up in a very stressful environment; and could never figure out why I was a chunky little lady o.o ~ I had to move back in with family during covid and gained all the weight I lost when I lived independently...... Oooooof all those years of bullying about my weight; when I ate good food and excercized a lot.... Can we talk about this more regularly as a globe? Stress is the #1 killer.... And the stress of self hate; is a really tough mental illness to escape from. Thanks for the advice ♡
I cannot believe that I haven't come across your videos before! I have been sick for 9 years because of hypothyroidism and all I've ever been given is synthroid. Have never felt any better only worse. It has been like a snowball effect with health problems even removal of my gallbladder. Everything you are saying makes so much sense, not just this video, but especially the videos on hypothyroidism! My digestive problems, upper abdomen pain and shoulder pain and weight gain that I can't seem to do anything about. It never dawned on me before to check you tube for medical advice and I can't tell the doctors and specialists I've seen over the years and I have never heard any explanations such as yours. It's a shame because this disease has destroyed my life for the last 9 years. Because of your videos I now have some hope that I can get better. Thank you!
Go to do DC like Dr. Berg. They can easily test you for adrenal, liver, etc issues. Regular MD's do not test for such things. They look at TSH levels for the most part and throw you on a drug. Diet plays a huge role in healing.
I was an adrenal type and carrying at least 30 lbs. of excess fat for the first time in my life. Being a Mediterranean, ,African, Middle Eastern female, I do have larger bones and muscles than my Euro counterparts but I was always lean. Nothing worked to lose the fat until I eliminated ALL dairy earlier this year. The fat just melted off and I now have better energy and flexibility than I have in years. I had always exercised but just couldn't carrying around that fat. I am 69 years old and am going to start some tai chi or qi gong tomorrow. I did have some liver inflammation over the last year and a half but I saw a Traditional Chinese doctor and she fine tuned my diet. I am yang deficient so need warming foods. She encouraged only cooked vegs and little fruit, nothing served chilled. This has helped and I think I've lost even more of the fat weight. I had some acupuncture and tui na massage to sort of jump start thd process. I have no major health issues common to my age, only some mild allergy treated asthma which has responded favorably to a move to the desert and improved housing (I'm not in the US). I have been able to reduce Advair to once a day, down from twice. I am not claiming the non-dairy route as a magic bullet to weight loss, but only to state that one single food type may be a problem and finding then eliminating it may work. btw I am fine with small quantities of gluten, but our flour here is different then in the US, unless you use organic.
Dr. Berg, Is it possible to to have 2 body types? I feel like both the adrenal & thyroid fit me. I have symptoms of both. Fat all over & a sagging belly. I have poor sleeping habits, stressed out, my unbalanced hormones got my menstral bleeding going for months at a time & a lot of hairloss. I had started a strict low carb diet lost 35lbs but the sagging belly was still there. Disappointed, stressed out & depressed about how bad my hair loss has gotten I cheated on my diet & kept on cheating til I gained the weight back. *sighs* :(
I could have written this reply, right down to the number of pounds. I think we need to look at the recommendations for both and go from there. We can do this! Oh, I see it has been 3 years since you wrote this. I hope you have found what works for you and are well.
I've been wondering, if you basically push to sleep right, drink enough water, eat 9 cups of veggies per day that includes 3 cups of kale, plus cut down on sugary drinks and dairy, will that be enough to overcome these body problems, regardless of which body type?
Dr. Berg - my hubby and I love your videos. We started your adrenals program last week. I am down 6 pounds, and my husband about 4. He and I have both had tremendous stress... Loss of family members, jobs (both of us), etc. But even though my body shape is not estrogen type, I have some estrogen symptoms. (I have been on synthroid since 25 yrs old, (now 50)). I would like to heal my thyroid and get off of synthroid entirely. Any suggestions? I did watch some of your thyroid and estrogen videos also. Any tips appreciated! Thanks so much! :-) Thanks for all the information you share. VERY helpful!
These videos are so helpful. I wish I could speak with you about my health. I feel like I’m getting the run around and I need to get my health in order. Thank you for posting, I appreciate it so much!
Dr Berg this was 7yrs ago, you look so fresh and healthy now, your skin is amazing!! I’ve had skin issues for decades in my youth then started again in menopause but now I actually look glowing, I’ve been complemented so many times, never in a million years would I have ever expected someone to say that to me, I love all your videos and all the information you give, even though I can’t take it all in or remember everything but that’s the beauty of videos I just re watch 😅 So THANK YOU SO MUCH! X
Hi Dr. Berg, are these body types (u mentioned in the video) applicable to women only or does it apply for men also? I'm not sure if I'm able to identify my own body type based on this video. Any further inputs will be useful, in understanding this identification process. Thanks much in advance.
I think this is for slightly over weight if your skinny you won't really look like most of them execpt the last one because the stomach pooch is caused by your ovaries pushing on your stomach.
I have hashimotos and all the symptoms of the thyroid type but I also have all the adrenal type symptoms. So should I go with the adrenal type diet cuz of the hashimotos?
This is such an awakinging. I am READY to finally heal. Tremendous stress in my life. I do sleep well, and have an abundance of energy, but I do have high blood pressure and have developed tremendous weight in my belly region. I love vegetables, but a bit confused as about cruciferae vegetable limitation. I do not drink alcohol, eat sugar, or flour. I am actually IRATE that this information is NOT being taught. Thank you Dr. Berg. Looking forward to getting my life back through proper eating!
Can do please do a chart with a male body type? I have had a very hard time figuring mine out, specifically I picked the wrong diet and I did not feel well.
@@foxxysoxxs i was always a sugar girl candy candy candy lol its been a year i eat fruit thats all the sugar i can do now haven't had a soda in 2 years.....sigh
Hi Dr. Berg. Thank you very much for these videos. What about an ovary body type with a few borderline thyroid issues? I've learned that cruciferous vegetables should be avoided when dealing with hypoactive thyroid, but I see you say it is helpful for balancing estrogen. Any advice on dealing with both? Thank you!
I have an adrenal belly over a potbelly. When I do keto, the potbelly disappears but the adrenal belly doesn't go anywhere. Thank you! Now I know how to deal with that!
Dr. Berg am studying medicine, and I hope get the same Spirit that u have, am very grateful for what u doing , and am a Muslim and this is what is our religion tell us to be , such great persons and honest like u , thank u , ma all respect to u , good luck and wish me 2
Adrenal. Which makes sense considering I have an anxiety disorder and have had a huge amount of stress over the years. Things aren't as stressful now, but I can't exactly stop the anxiety disorder. My heart beats >90 bpm at rest. I've been doing keto for a month now and and have noticeable fat loss to the face, legs and rib areas. Some inches lost on the belly, but it's still bigger than I would expect. Will it go down completely with this diet or do I need to meditate or something on top? I haven't had a flat belly my entire life and I would really like to achieve it.
Anyone here with ovary body type. 😭 all my fat goes down to my hips and I have a love handle which popped out after a c-section. What can I do to fix this.
I have the second mentioned body type. My fat gets stored all over my stomach and its always the hardest to loose weight. I also think its due to stress but i i do have a problem with my hypophysis/pituitary gland. My doctor said that or produces to much cortisol. Im not sure if there is a connection. Can it be so?
Hi doc.. love..love..love all your videos!! But could you speak louder so i can hear you clearly.. most of the times i have to put the phone speaker near my ears.. that way i can hear you.. thanks doc for the great infos xxx
this is so on point. hormone belly - bec i work on graveyard shift. I do crave for salt and sweets and I cant take that belly out no matter how hard I diet. thanks Dr :)
Hello Dr. Berg! I love watching your videos simply because of the way you explain the science behind every detail. Love it I had a question for you. My body type is "ovary", what foods and drinks should i avoid? And if i would follow the ketogenic diet, again what foods and drinks would i take out of that diet? And last is there is anyway possible if you could suggest a diet plan to follow for my body type? Thanks 😊
Dear Dr.Berg, I've got an extreme flabby chest and stomach, and I'm really confused. Please I need your help. I want to know the reasons and the solution, I'm waiting for your reply kindly.
Dr. Berg, I took your body type quiz and the results say that I am a pancreatic body type. I saw that your offered a kit which included electrolyte powder, nutritional yeast tablets and wheatgrass powder. I was considering ordering it until I learned that the electrolyte powder contains magnesium citrate. I have interstitial cystitis and cannot take magnesium citrate as it is extremely painful to my bladder. Are there other options I could consider? Thank you.
The Ovarian body type is the only one that really hits home for me, yet cruciferous plants hurt my stomach so badly it's agonizing. I can't eat any of them without getting painful bloating and gas that never passes, heart-burn and eventual constipation that lasts for days. I've tried to eat them for years but nothing ever changes and it's just getting more reactive. Not sure what to do at this point...
Hello Dr Berg.-Any advise for people with psycosis depressive problem?, my son has been diagnostic with it and I just wonder what can I do to help?, thank you.
thank you so much Dr. eric for all ur precious informations your really help me a lot to change my life and loose weight , ur saving my life greetings from Morocco🌺🌸🌹🌼🌻
FINALLY the answer to why diets dont work and the 2 tips my fibro doctor did... Eat more protein and vegs/fruits for the fiber. Thank you for the info you've shared here.
Hi dr. berg!! as u showed in first pic which indicate the stress type belly I think I have that but I'm pure vegetarian I don't get enough protein so can u suggest protein supplement for person like me. I don't eat eggs also. Thnx
I'm the thyroid type & my gall bladder was removed. Recently I had a hysterectomy where my uterer was injured. Last month they repaired it, but currently still have a nephrostomy tube in my right kidney. Hopefully it'll be removed this month. I really want to get to a healthy weight but I'm disabled (bad back, hips, knees). Please help me find the right diet!
Years ago I had blood test to check my hormone levels because I was so tired all the time. I didn't want to take depression medication. The doctor found I was a little low on testosterone. There's a pharmacy that does the compound mixing but he would not prescribe for me. He gave me no reason. I still think it could have helped and couldn't have hurt to try it. I'm cancer-free after 19 years. I was given 3 months to live at that time. They were worried about eating soy which is changed since then. I don't eat meat but I do eat fish at times. Back to the compound that the pharmacies mix up 4 each individual's needs. What's your opinion on that?
Good points Dr. B. T4 is not always a solution even if hypothyroidism is the main problem. If one's body cannot convert T4 to T3 then you would need to take T3. There are tests to measure reverse T3 however, the numbers are confusing because one may have a normal to high level of T3 but still not losing weight or feeling any better. They may also have a reverse T3 level that does not seem high. For example, my T3 was 3000 and my reverse T3 was 300. That was apparently enough of an elevated reverse T3 to keep the weight on me. T4 will convert into reverse T3 so I stopped the T4 and got on T3 and the problem resolved.
What if you're a combination of two? I think I'm a combination of pot belly with a little pouch after having three kids and 68 years old but have always had fairly slim legs and regular arms though full upper arms and a small butt! I've been a fitness trainer and worked out with weights so I have pretty good muscularity in my legs and arms and still have a rather good bicep with a good cut at the top of my arms and a firm back. All my weight seems to land in my gut and my mid section and I've always been prone to a thick waist! I just beginning to address my leaky gut and Candida issue as well. I've done some yoga and have a stationary bike but can no longer walk great distances due to the fact that I have MS and have since my early 40s. It went into remission for years and I was walking long distance power walks into my 50s but since my mid 60s I haven't been able to do that anymore! Love your videos, very helpful! Thanks!
*Thyroid* - iodine (weight gain all over)
*Liver* - dark leafy greens (fluid issue)
*Adrenal* - vitamin C reserve; cortisol situation (sagging belly); #1 reduce stress, #2 sleep, #3 eat protein, #4 potassium rich vegetables
*Ovary* - eat certain cruciferous vegetables to help balance estrogen (weight in the lower body); estrogen dominant problem: eat hormone free dairy and meats
I'm a strong believer in our health/weight being tied to hormones and our microbiome as opposed to the CICO model people cling to. You are the first doctor I've seen actually break down body type according to hormonal issues! Thank you so much for educating people on important, live-saving knowledge that other doctors are unable or unwilling to.
In order for me to avoid stress I'd have to go hide under a rock & stay there.
Right lol
Every lovely male in my life has caused me mounds of stress. Sounds like a hormone issue, testosterone?
🪨😆🤣🤣
Or a nice deep cave.
Look up Allan Watts stress
I really respect your knowledge on the Thyroid. I feel like a lot of doctors don't take it as a serious matter, and don't do much investigation beyond the initial levels found in a single blood test.

I agree this video is a lot quieter than others I also struggled to hear
Still a very informative video and love watching all Dr berg videos
I have trouble hearing his quiet voice too. And my phone volume works fine for most other sounds.
Michelle Williams ...me 2, I struggled. I usually like his vids and his voice is usually perfect.. Not loud and hyper, but sincere and convincing.. This is on the very quiet side..

Thank you Dr. Berg for all the information you put out. It is greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank you a lot for all these informations.
Eric Berg hi doctor Eric can you please make more videos about the thyroid body type because that will really help a lot of people ...
Hi Dr. Berg, i just wanted to say thank you . I am so grateful to find you, if I didn’t I never would have made changes for my health.

Today, I’m making changes, and it’s going to take time but i hope to make the changes to be healthier for my own body
Im the adrenal type, makes sense too because I lost my period for 3 months, which is when the corona started, so I obviously need to focus on stress
Holy crap... Thank you for this. Adrenal mesomorph Amazon over here. I'm still a little confused but definitely ready to learn as much as possible. So thanks for sharing
Wow, the description of the first type is EXACTLY me! Everything about it describes me perfectly, from the stress problems and the salt and chocolate cravings to the feeling of needing more protein and vegetables! Thank you, Dr. Berg!! I'm a huge fan of your channel!
Yes, exactly. For me it’s the chocolate.
I like when Dr Berg describes the fourth type, "a little pooch below the belly button" at 5:25. Wish he was my Dr.
I'm crying; because... I realize now I grew up in a very stressful environment; and could never figure out why I was a chunky little lady o.o ~ I had to move back in with family during covid and gained all the weight I lost when I lived independently...... Oooooof all those years of bullying about my weight; when I ate good food and excercized a lot....
Can we talk about this more regularly as a globe? Stress is the #1 killer....
And the stress of self hate; is a really tough mental illness to escape from.
Thanks for the advice ♡
Girl, I feel you on so many levels.

Don't worry, you can do it.
I could have written this reply, right down to the number of pounds. I think we need to look at the recommendations for both and go from there. We can do this! Oh, I see it has been 3 years since you wrote this. I hope you have found what works for you and are well.

Dr. Berg - my hubby and I love your videos. We started your adrenals program last week. I am down 6 pounds, and my husband about 4. He and I have both had tremendous stress... Loss of family members, jobs (both of us), etc. But even though my body shape is not estrogen type, I have some estrogen symptoms. (I have been on synthroid since 25 yrs old, (now 50)).

Very interesting and informative. Much appreciated and thank you for sharing Dr. Berg.
I have had my gall bladder removed. what should I eat? Would milk thistle help?
I’m sure you found the answer by now but he has a lot of videos on this. Look up bile salts and gallbladder connected to Dr. Berg on TH-cam
Dr Berg this was 7yrs ago, you look so fresh and healthy now, your skin is amazing!! I’ve had skin issues for decades in my youth then started again in menopause but now I actually look glowing, I’ve been complemented so many times, never in a million years would I have ever expected someone to say that to me, I love all your videos and all the information you give, even though I can’t take it all in or remember everything but that’s the beauty of videos I just re watch 😅

great videos
im a tomato and garlic guy
the one thing about some of your videos is the volume
its low for some reason
So true about the volume cause I've been trying to increase my volume and realizing it's not down
I still don’t know what type I am :(
you can be a combo of 2 also
I had answers in 3 different categories, but predominantly adrenal.
Me too, lol.:) I just got the fact that I should eat more veggies and that's what all 4 types has in common, so I'm gonna stick to that. :)
Wildflower - me too. I think im all four of these 😳😳
I think this is for slightly over weight if your skinny you won't really look like most of them execpt the last one because the stomach pooch is caused by your ovaries pushing on your stomach.
I have hashimotos and all the symptoms of the thyroid type but I also have all the adrenal type symptoms. So should I go with the adrenal type diet cuz of the hashimotos?
How do I know which type am I
I feel am all of them 😞
Im still confused to what body type i am 😩
Me too. I have no Belly Fat and have always been slim.
I called and fired my primary doctor! Dr Eric berg YOUR HIRED!! lol oh what would I do without your knowledge!!
“They’re just big everywhere”
Lmfaooo it's funny but that's me
I said the same thing
That's the first thing I really heard 😂😂😂
This is such an awakinging. I am READY to finally heal. Tremendous stress in my life. I do sleep well, and have an abundance of energy, but I do have high blood pressure and have developed tremendous weight in my belly region. I love vegetables, but a bit confused as about cruciferae vegetable limitation. I do not drink alcohol, eat sugar, or flour. I am actually IRATE that this information is NOT being taught. Thank you Dr. Berg. Looking forward to getting my life back through proper eating!
Amazing Doctor..I love how you explain..👍👏
Thank you! Would you please consider doing a video on thin legged body types and possible medical issues associated? Thank you!
This knowledge is changing my life... thank you dr. Berg.
Glad to be of help!
Can do please do a chart with a male body type? I have had a very hard time figuring mine out, specifically I picked the wrong diet and I did not feel well.
Dr Berg, would taking something like rhodiola rosea extract for adrenal stress/fatigue be suitable?
Thank you. This video was very informative.
I have always had a flat stomach but in the last year I have been very stressed out causing me to have a bloated belly :(

Hi Dr. Berg. Thank you very much for these videos. What about an ovary body type with a few borderline thyroid issues? I've learned that cruciferous vegetables should be avoided when dealing with hypoactive thyroid, but I see you say it is helpful for balancing estrogen. Any advice on dealing with both? Thank you!
q
I have an adrenal belly over a potbelly. When I do keto, the potbelly disappears but the adrenal belly doesn't go anywhere. Thank you! Now I know how to deal with that!
First few minutes and I got a goldmine of information I needed. Thanks you!
Need a video on hormonal belly
1:50 they're just big everywhere 😂
Ashley Anderson I screamed when he said that 😂😂😂
When I heard that part I went IMMEDIATELY to the comments because I knew someone said something about it 😂🤣
A great topic, my hormones are out of control and it really hard to lose weight, I really appreciate the way you explained everything thank you.
My stomach doesn’t necessarily sag, even when I was obese, it just sticks out
I have that thyroid body but I’ve had my tested so many times and they say it’s fine?
Nays Place that’s common wide range of “normal” kinda dumb
Thank you Dr Berg you are very awesome.
Dr Bergs lectures are the best ever.
Wishing all Dr's had his wealth of knowledge, can't wait to stock his products in UK..
Dr. Berg am studying medicine, and I hope get the same Spirit that u have, am very grateful for what u doing , and am a Muslim and this is what is our religion tell us to be , such great persons and honest like u , thank u , ma all respect to u , good luck and wish me 2
Adrenal. Which makes sense considering I have an anxiety disorder and have had a huge amount of stress over the years. Things aren't as stressful now, but I can't exactly stop the anxiety disorder. My heart beats >90 bpm at rest. I've been doing keto for a month now and and have noticeable fat loss to the face, legs and rib areas. Some inches lost on the belly, but it's still bigger than I would expect. Will it go down completely with this diet or do I need to meditate or something on top? I haven't had a flat belly my entire life and I would really like to achieve it.
Thank you. Dr Berg I have learnt more from you than I have from any doctors I’ve seen ! Keep up the great work 😊
I appreciate your comment! Glad to help!
Anyone here with ovary body type. 😭 all my fat goes down to my hips and I have a love handle which popped out after a c-section. What can I do to fix this.

yes u can
Me too
You are a handsome doctor :)
Glad this is finally being talked about ^^.
Hmvatan
No his NOT! 😯😆
😂😂😂😂
I have the second mentioned body type. My fat gets stored all over my stomach and its always the hardest to loose weight. I also think its due to stress but i i do have a problem with my hypophysis/pituitary gland. My doctor said that or produces to much cortisol. Im not sure if there is a connection. Can it be so?
Does this apply for men also?
I SO wish that I'd found you years ago! 😶
Thank you for teaching and sharing your knowledge with us! 🤗
I feel like I am a mixture of the first and last body type. It’s that possible?
Hi doc.. love..love..love all your videos!! But could you speak louder so i can hear you clearly.. most of the times i have to put the phone speaker near my ears.. that way i can hear you.. thanks doc for the great infos xxx
this is so on point. hormone belly - bec i work on graveyard shift. I do crave for salt and sweets and I cant take that belly out no matter how hard I diet. thanks Dr :)
Hello Dr. Berg! I love watching your videos simply because of the way you explain the science behind every detail. Love it
I had a question for you. My body type is "ovary", what foods and drinks should i avoid? And if i would follow the ketogenic diet, again what foods and drinks would i take out of that diet? And last is there is anyway possible if you could suggest a diet plan to follow for my body type?
Thanks 😊
thank you for this information
Okay what about storing it in arms, shoulders and chest?
Hormonal
You are so informative, clear, n rt to the point. Thank you Dr
I am on thyroid meds, based on what you said what happens to my thyroid issues if I have no gall bladder? Is it causing me to keep gaining weight?
Absolutely bang on with the thyroid one
Dear Dr.Berg, I've got an extreme flabby chest and stomach, and I'm really confused. Please I need your help. I want to know the reasons and the solution, I'm waiting for your reply kindly.
I have a better understanding now. Thank you ☺️
Omg I'm the first one and he's so right I barely sleep and am stressed af from exams and medical issues
This is great thank you so much sir I we try to do as you have said once again thank you
Thanks for this amazing information. I will get your book via Amazon. thanks again
Dr. Berg, I took your body type quiz and the results say that I am a pancreatic body type. I saw that your offered a kit which included electrolyte powder, nutritional yeast tablets and wheatgrass powder. I was considering ordering it until I learned that the electrolyte powder contains magnesium citrate. I have interstitial cystitis and cannot take magnesium citrate as it is extremely painful to my bladder. Are there other options I could consider? Thank you.
Awesome...thanks. Some new things to consider & try based on my body type (#1)
This is excellent information it confirms what my nature path told me a few years ago. Thank you for all that you do you are a gift from the Lord.
that was really helpful. thank you
The Ovarian body type is the only one that really hits home for me, yet cruciferous plants hurt my stomach so badly it's agonizing. I can't eat any of them without getting painful bloating and gas that never passes, heart-burn and eventual constipation that lasts for days. I've tried to eat them for years but nothing ever changes and it's just getting more reactive. Not sure what to do at this point...
Hello Dr Berg.-Any advise for people with psycosis depressive problem?, my son has been diagnostic with it and I just wonder what can I do to help?, thank you.

Dear sir I have watched lots of your videos that really useful for weight loss for beginners.
Hi dr. berg!! as u showed in first pic which indicate the stress type belly I think I have that but I'm pure vegetarian I don't get enough protein so can u suggest protein supplement for person like me. I don't eat eggs also. Thnx
I'm the thyroid type & my gall bladder was removed. Recently I had a hysterectomy where my uterer was injured. Last month they repaired it, but currently still have a nephrostomy tube in my right kidney. Hopefully it'll be removed this month. I really want to get to a healthy weight but I'm disabled (bad back, hips, knees). Please help me find the right diet!
What do you recommend for women who are going through menopause?
Years ago I had blood test to check my hormone levels because I was so tired all the time. I didn't want to take depression medication. The doctor found I was a little low on testosterone. There's a pharmacy that does the compound mixing but he would not prescribe for me. He gave me no reason. I still think it could have helped and couldn't have hurt to try it. I'm cancer-free after 19 years. I was given 3 months to live at that time. They were worried about eating soy which is changed since then. I don't eat meat but I do eat fish at times. Back to the compound that the pharmacies mix up 4 each individual's needs. What's your opinion on that?
I still can't decide whether i'm an adrenal type or thyroid!!!
You can be a mix of more
Never ever anybody told me i have 2nd body type means thyroid and you are absolutely correct
Good points Dr. B. T4 is not always a solution even if hypothyroidism is the main problem. If one's body cannot convert T4 to T3 then you would need to take T3. There are tests to measure reverse T3 however, the numbers are confusing because one may have a normal to high level of T3 but still not losing weight or feeling any better. They may also have a reverse T3 level that does not seem high. For example, my T3 was 3000 and my reverse T3 was 300. That was apparently enough of an elevated reverse T3 to keep the weight on me. T4 will convert into reverse T3 so I stopped the T4 and got on T3 and the problem resolved.
What if you're a combination of two? I think I'm a combination of pot belly with a little pouch after having three kids and 68 years old but have always had fairly slim legs and regular arms though full upper arms and a small butt! I've been a fitness trainer and worked out with weights so I have pretty good muscularity in my legs and arms and still have a rather good bicep with a good cut at the top of my arms and a firm back. All my weight seems to land in my gut and my mid section and I've always been prone to a thick waist! I just beginning to address my leaky gut and Candida issue as well. I've done some yoga and have a stationary bike but can no longer walk great distances due to the fact that I have MS and have since my early 40s. It went into remission for years and I was walking long distance power walks into my 50s but since my mid 60s I haven't been able to do that anymore! Love your videos, very helpful! Thanks!
