Triglycerides went from 242 down to 52. Whole foods diet Mediterranean, no highly processed highly palatable foods or fast foods and 4x a week in the gym @ over 2 hours per workout resistance training 💪 347lbs down to 210lbs in less than a year and kept it off for almost 2 years. 6'2 60yo. And I do eat some carbs, complex mostly, even some sugar in the form of wild blueberries and honey but not enough to overload my liver. Went from being on oxygen, a slew of meds and hardly able to walk to no meds, no medical problems and jacked. Training right now to be a personal trainer, take my final exam in less than a week. Consistency, determination, discipline and an absolute will to succeed. I also take a lot of the supplements mentioned in particular nattokinase and K2-D3 along with a lot of others but I feel that those 3 really work overtime for arterial health. It's your life, you don't have to accept that you're unhealthy and unhappy and just lay down and die just because our society, medical community, government says that's what you have to do. Take your life back
Fantastic! I'm about a year in on Ketovore and have lost 35 lbs. and just starting back in the gym after a 6-month hiatus for shoulder surgery. I've got a long way to go.
Hey Dr. Berg. I had a heart attack back in October and I'm 35. Your videos, especially the ones that are cardiovascular related are really insightful and has been helpful to me in my heart recovery journey. I have yet known factually if following your tips has improved my heart's condition but I can assure you that I do feel great 5 months after my heart attack. I've lost approximately 57 lbs in 5 months through intermittent fasting and quit most of the things that you've warned against in your videos. I am thankful to God for giving me another shot at life and I am also thankful to you for sharing these information that will improve the quality of my life.
Dr Berg notes: Plaque is made of cholesterol, calcium, and protein. These 3 ingredients form a band-aid if you have inflammation or other issues on the inside of your artery. There are 2 types of plaque: soft plaque (unstable, dangerous) and hard plaque (calcified, stable, less dangerous). Soft plaque is 4 times as common as calcified plaque! A CAC test gives you a score of how much plaque you have in your arteries. This test primarily detects calcified plaque, so the score usually won’t reflect soft plaque The CAC paradox is a phenomenon that occurs after you clean up your diet and get healthy, but your CAC score rises. This doesn't mean your plaque is getting worse. It means that some of your soft plaque has stabilized and become hard plaque. Soft plaque is associated with glycation and more oxidation of the LDL. There are 2 types of LDL: small-dense pathogenic LDL and large-buoyant non-pathogenic LDL. Myeloperoxidase and Lp-PLA2 both signify soft plaque on a blood test. An ultrasound can also detect soft plaque. Higher HDL can help clean up pathogenic bad LDL. You also want to keep your triglycerides low. High triglycerides can signify that your diet is too high in carbs. You may want to request to test your lipoprotein insulin resistance. This factor is associated with cardiovascular atherosclerosis more than any other. Here’s how to determine whether you have small dense LDL or large buoyant LDL. Divide the LDL by ApoB-the part of the lipoprotein that indicates the number of particles. You want your result to be greater than 1.2. This indicates large buoyant LDL. The following nutrients may help remove arterial plaque buildup naturally: 1. Pycnogenol-150 mg 2. Gotu Kola-450 mg 3. Vitamin K2-Life Extension Mega K2 4. Nattokinase 5. Niacin Vitamin K2 is the most potent inhibitor of vascular calcification. Tocotrienols, berberine, aged garlic, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin D also help to clean out plaque naturally. Thank you Dr.Berg 🐱👍
I am 56 and was diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease last March. I started watching Dr. Berg’s videos and started taking Niacin and Vitamin K2 my Cholesterol went down tremendously and my cardiologist and my cardiac rehabilitation coaches couldn’t believe it and asked me how I did it. When I told them about Dr. Berg’s videos I got so much backlash from it so I stopped what I was doing. Now I just got out of the hospital and was given more medication and I hate it. I feel worse than ever, sleepy, dizzy, nauseous and cranky all the time and my cholesterol went back up. I am going to try Dr. Berg’s way once more. I hope I can turn it around again.
They don’t like Dr Berg because he shows you ways of fixing your health on your own and naturally. They want you coming back so they can charge you another visit and sell you medication.
@Drberg Doc what can I do im 6ft 200lbs 37 years old I was diagnosed with high bp and experiencing dizziness, they put me on a low dose of losartan and statin called rosuvastatin should I take the statin?my triglycerides were 672 unfastened and still over 400 fasted..hdl low 40s anything I can do please I need help
@Drberg thank you for saving lives! I was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol and put on statins. I had a calcium test and score on LAD was high at 149 but i really believe this will work for me to lower that number. All the other numbers were 0 except LCX was 48. I will update in a few months. I noticed you didn't say how long to take these natural supplements? Maybe i missed that part
Dr. Berg quite literally saved my life. I'm 6'5", was 310lbs, and was starting to experience chest pains on a consistent basis. On my 36th birthday at 2am I woke up drenched in sweat and felt like I was about to die right then and there. The pain subsided and I went straight online to search for natural remedies. That day I stopped eating all processed foods, I started eating raw garlic, chi seeds, ground flax, turmeric, fish oil, green tea, only fish and chicken, free range eggs from our farm, etc. etc. Went back to the doctor yesterday and my blood pressure is normal and I'm feeling great with zero chest pains or heaviness. I'm down to 279lbs right now doing only cardio and I'm feeling the best I"ve felt in years. Goal is 250lbs right now :) Thank you Dr. Berg!!! EDIT: Down to 252lbs now and feeling great! Cholesterol was just checked and is 140. Still doing the same routine however, I've increased my food intake to stop decrease weight loss as I only want to lose 2 more lbs. Thanks all
@@Siameezkattwo Thank you, I'm down to 252lbs now and just had a check-up with my physician. I've fully embraced this lifestyle at this point and am working now on slowing my weight loss to only maintain weight. Cheers!
Your clarity and lack of "mumbo jumbo" is second to none Eric. Here in England, if I went to my National Health Service gp (md) & requested a CAC, or Coronary Angiogram BEFORE having "an event" the doctor would practically laugh in my face! It simply wouldn't happen. Getting one done prior to Angina or an MI?...That would be reserved for those who could afford private treatment. And that is the minority here.
the only coronary treatment uk GPs know is amlodipine (blood pressure) monomil (angina) and statins. try getting a CAC for less than £500,its $99 in the US!
@jaimestephens3976 Good point. Sadly, the “behemoth” that is our poor old post-war NHS system is beaching itself. But keeping it afloat is still the number 1 vote-winner here.
@@stevelanghorn1407it’s the same here in the states with Medicare, which is the main thing that drives the price up for everyone. It’s political suicided to even mention overhauling Medicare.
This man drastically improved my quality of life a couple years back. After a year of a healthy lifestyle, I went back to my old ways (smoking, eating processed foods, consuming sugar) for only a month & all the problems came back 10x worse! Now I'm back and made a vow to myself to never go back to that lifestyle. Dr Berg has been a beacon of light in the darkest times. God bless your soul
00:00 🩸 Three main components form plaque in arteries: cholesterol, specific protein, and calcium. 00:25 🛡 Soft plaque is more dangerous and unstable, while hard plaque is denser and more stable. 01:24 💡 CAC score might increase when transitioning to a healthier diet due to conversion of soft plaque to hard plaque. 02:18 ⚠ Soft plaque is associated with glycation and oxidation, particularly of pathogenic small dense LDL. 03:16 🩺 Tests such as ultrasound and lipoprotein insulin resistance help identify soft plaque. 04:52 💊 Nutrients like pine bark, gotu kola, and vitamin K2 aid in converting and preventing plaque formation. 06:26 💊 Niacin, particularly the flush variety, can help reduce plaque thickness. 06:52 💊 Other supplements like tocotrienol, berberine, aged garlic, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin D offer benefits in reducing inflammation and plaque.
Experienced a Sudden Cardiac Arrest in March 2023 at age 50. Was 6’1”, and nearing 350lbs… two stents placed in arteries, one which was 80% blocked, maybe 100% blocked at time of SCA. Eliminated sugar, and adopted animal based diet, exercise 6 days a week, and now two months after my stay in ICU, I’m down to 299lb and going and getting stronger and healthier daily. Dr. Berg has been instrumental in my recovery. Thank you❤
I've been taking Pycnogenol and nattoinase along with others you've mentioned since I had a triple bi-pass and my doctor told me that he would be out of a job if there were something I could take so my problem wouldn't happen.

Point of clarification: It is the LEVEL and ACCUMULATION of cholesterols that is bad, not a particular cholesterol itself. Cholesterols in all forms are essential to overall good health.
@@DK-pr9ny LDL is essential in all forms - obviously oxidized anything is bad. Each type of cholesterol in useable form does an essential function in the body. For example, VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) carries triglycerides from the liver into cells. Neither VLDL nor triglycerides are a problem in form, they are a problem only in level of presence in the blood. Your body needs some level of triglycerides. So it also needs VLDL in order for the body to make use of them. It becomes a problem only if the level of triglycerides tips over the line of what is essential, which then by necessity will call up more VLDL production. Again, the emphasis is strictly on LEVEL and ACCUMULATION, not at all on type, of cholesterol.
@@stevelanghorn1407 No jury involved. More importantly, no injury involved. The labeling of “good” and “bad” cholesterols is one the most disastrous PR campaigns ever devised. LDL is absolutely crucial to body function. Cholesterol overall is absolutely necessary for a myriad of body functions. If you want to do a deep dive, there are studies of centenarians showing one peculiar but consistent factor: They all had what is considered by recent standards to be excessive cholesterol levels.

I used to fall asleep in school over scientific terms blah blah lectures but Dr Berg’s explanation is so easy to understand and straight to the point. I’m now having keen interest in nutritional impact on health coz of your videos! Thank you for educating us!❤
I would LOVE for you to do research and videos about all the benefits of taking "turmeric" as an anti-inflammatory. I believe most all ailments and diseases are caused from inflammation! It has helped me so much with migraines and my bad knees! Thank YOU :)
Thank you for this video, i have been eating very bad in 22-23 this year i had a physical and my cholesterol was high to my dr ordered a ct scan which came back with a calcium score of 201. No other tests she just put me on 40mg Atorvastatin watch make me feel TERRIBLE, literally coughing all day and throat hurts, i stopped taking them, completely changed my diet and have been working out every day the last 10 days, down 7lbs and honestly feel better. I have a follow up blood test in June, I'm gonna stick this out and hopefully can lower my numbers.
Gotukola grows in my garden in Sri Lanka, Gotu Kola = Kola means leaf in Sinhalese(Sri Lankan). We eat Gotu Kola salad with lime juice and tomatoes and onions.
I thought I was pretty healthy, a 61 y/o male weighing 150 lbs. blessed with never having a weight issue, but I was diagnosed about 2 years ago with mild atherosclerosis in my aorta using ultrasound. After taking some K2 (MK-4 and MK-7) for about 6 months, I did another ultrasound, and they found no atherosclerosis in my aorta or anywhere. Also, my energy increased dramatically, especially when cycling, which I love. I couldn't believe the energy level I got from K2 as I haven't felt that in over 10 years. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
What were the doses of the K2 that you took? Was it suggested that you take moth MK-4 and MK-7? MK-7 is generally considered the superior form as it sourced naturally.
Who would have thought that "calcification of arteries" would be a good thing. I love these videos and the way he explains things to a non medically trained person. It's so intimidating, and there is so much information out there, but I was never a drug or cigarette user, just a food abuser and have been anywhere from 210 - 331 as an adult male(42 and 323 @6'2.5" now). Best to just get started. Wishing you all wellness now and into your future
This is amazing content. Junk /ultra processed foods and bad habits on a daily basis are responsible for creating health problems. Thanks for all your continuous support, Dr Berg 😊❤
You are truly making such a big difference. I wish I knew sooner about your veggie recommendations and have starting to make sure I get my 7 cups of veggies a day.
Happy belated birthday Dr Berg. It’s hard to believe that you are 59. You don’t look a day over 40 and that just speaks volumes of your healthy lifestyle!!! Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us!!!
I'm interested in this. I already take most of them. I take K2 100 mcg 3 times a day with the D3.. I won't take niacin because the flush was so bad I thought I was going to die. I take some nattokinase but you don't say how much. I take all the others except for Pycogenol and Gotukola. My 3 sisters all have stents. I don't want that problem. My baby sister's arteries are blocked. She's down to 90 lbs and keeps needing blocked artery surgeries. She's 65 and I'm 72. Two other sisters are older than me. One needs blocked artery surgery to the legs and so far her lung doctor won't approve the surgery. My sisters all smoked and two were heavy drinkers. Any answers Dr Berg?
We ordered and received your D3 & K2 vitamin bc hubby has atherosclerosis. You suggested this in another one of your videos. Gonna just keep going with these along with the Mediterranean diet we’ve been doing for a month now.
Cyruta by Standard Process is recommended by dr. Darren Schmidt of ann arbor. He has TH-cam videos also. We took my mom off statin and replaced with Cyruta. Its nickname is rotorooter of the arteries. Between dr. Berg and dr. Schmidt, reversed mom's dementia. I hope I'm not being forward with this unsolicited info.
And the extremely high doses that were seemingly better than the very low dose recommended. Also when to take it (with food? Always same time as D?) Would love to know more!
Pine Bark and Nattokinase are both blood thinners. So it may not be good to take both together. Also Pine Bark can upset your stomach if taken long term as I found out.
Again, spot on Dr B, when I was young I would choke down water to quell the niacin flush, now I enjoy the warmth and tingle I get from it. Lumbrokinase , a proteolytic enzyme, on an empty stomach ,is said to lower artery calcification .
I had a widow maker heart attack last February. The cardiologist told me it was a piece of plaque that broke off and lodge. Heart disease runs on my father's side, but I have been trying to take care of myself. The other 2 arteries look good, but would like to find something to help clean the plaque of my main artery as I continue to eat right.
The thing that many doctors are not aware of is that statins raise your calcium score. So patient are on chronic statin therapy who undergo CAC scoring will get in accurate results. your illustration suggest that as the calcified plaque becomes more stabilized and dense that the degree of stenosis goes down so your calcium score goes up, but the degree of stenosis goes down? Is that what you were saying?
Doc, Phosphatidyl Choline found in Soy Lecithin is a fat emulsifier and removes soft plaque. Combine that with Vitamin C protected by Grape Seed Extract to restore elasticity to arteries and optimize capillaries. Introduce Lecithin slowly, one the first week, daily the seventh week to prevent leakage where the cholesterol has become part of the artery structure, allowing time for collagen synthesis from Grape Seed Extract and Vitamin C to make repairs.
You are absolutely correct about "Gotu Kola" (Centella Asiatica), grown in many tropical countries, including Asia. Rich source of Vitamin A other than the benefits you mentioned!
Thanks for the information as a Canadian who is either banned from Medical Property for protesting the plandemic or self police by staying away from the death factories I use some of the nutrients and kind of have a revolving use going for many different foods and nutrients you suggest.
There is also Guggul herb from Ayurveda specifically designed to remove plaque from arteries and Arjuna which is specifically for the heart but Artery health as well.

I hope Dr. Berg is right. At a relatively low age, my score went from 26 to 117 over the past two years as I was eating a healthy low carb diet full of the healthiest fats and proteins. Impeccable bloodwork. My cardiologist has dropped me after I refused statin.
A primary physician insisted that I take statins because a carotid echocardiogram revealed a little plaque 7 years ago, and a repeat now shows the same amount. But, he says, I have ""atherosclerosis", and will have it for life. So I got the prescription several months ago, and this bottle is in my cabinet unopened. I never took a single capsule, and i will never do so.
The results of this study showed a significant decrease in liver damage in the group us- ing Pycnogenol. In the immunohistochemical examination, it was observed that the free oxygen radicals decreased but the difference was not significant
You did not mention vegetables, fruits and fiber. K2 has been documented. Can you please share the studies that confirm the benefits of the other nutrients mentioned?
@@DavidPodolsky No they are not, they have scientific background but some people like myself would like to check some of the results. I can do it but it will take me longer while Dr. Berg and his time do it in a fraction of time.
Great video! Your tips on the best nutrients to remove plaque from arteries are incredibly useful. Thanks for sharing this essential health information!
Dr. Berg - I won't be able to find the video, but you one recommended 100 mcg of K2 mk7 per 10,000 ibu of D3. What has changed your mind on this? A new study? Can you link to the new info? Do I also then need to drastically increase my D3 intake? Also, can you vouch for the quality of the K2 that you are recommending or is it solely based on the fact that they are the only one producing in large doses? Can you clear up my confusion please?
I've had hereditary high cholesterol most of my life. Currently, I am at 258 total, so my doctor orders an angiogram test every year. I take red rice yeast and magnesium daily, and I have literally no plaque build-up in my arteries. My doctor said he would usually put a patient with 258 total cholesterol on statins, but since I had no other issues like pre-diabetes or high blood pressure, and little to no plaque in my arteries I didn't need any. He suggested I take red rice yeast years ago, and I started magnesium (all 3 types) last year. I weigh 210 lbs at 6ft tall and am in decent shape for a 52 year old. I eat well, cook for myself with all organic ingredients, do not drink often. This is totally hereditary. I attribute being plaque free to the red yeast rice and magnesium and good diet.
@@jogeorge9752it’s confusing because now he’s saying MK4 not mK7… I’ve been taking mk7 for ages now… not sure what to do and he doesn’t respond to questions so we’ve been left high and dry starting on one protocol and now switching with no explanation.
I want to thank you for your suggestion (not medical advice), of mega dosing of Vitamin D for me. I’m currently 10000 iu’s of Vitamin D and also taking 400 mcg of Vitamin K2 with it, as well as 500 mg of a high quality Mg supplement. This is purely anecdotal but I feel better when I wake up to go to the gym. I’m 52 and still have the same strength as I did when I was 25!
Gotu Kola is very common leaves in srilanka.if you are live in usa or uk, you can go to a srilankan shop ask Gotu Kola and how to prepare it.usually we dont cook Gotu kola we prepare it as a salad
Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) offers benefits that include anti-diabetic, wound-healing, enhancing memory, lupus, various skin diseases, varicose ulcers, antioxidant and boosting cognitive functions. Gotu kola can be taken as a supplement, brewed as a tea, or used as an extract. For skin conditions, it can also be applied topically. While the herb is generally safe to use, careful dosing can help limit the risks.
This doesn’t make sense to me. We first say we want to convert the soft plaque to calcified plaque a those are more stable and less dangerous. Then we say take K2 to avoid the calcification of the plaque. To me this sounds contradictory. Can someone please help me understand? Are we trying to avoid the calcification of plaque, or are we trying to convert the soft plaque into calcified plaque?
Dr. Berg, I am still waiting on your response for how much Life Extension Mega K2 Vitamin and adding D3 should I take? I do have moderate plaque build up.
Hi Dr Berg, as you mentioned about the Life Extension Mega K2. I realize that the K2 is in the form of MK4 instead of MK7 that you recommended before. So should we still go for this Mega K2?
Good morning Dr Berg, Problem is Dr's won't order any of these tests even if you ask they very much ignore you because they have degrees and labs won't do the tests without Dr's orders. You are very much stuck best way is to listen to you change your diet thats what I did and you will see and feel the difference no tests needed. I do Healthy Keto , IF, OMAD and prolonged fast every month 120-150 hours plus take some of yours Supplements and do exercise you have changed my and millions of other people like me for better healthy lifestyle. Thank you Sir.
10 years ago neck ultrasound showed carotid artery plaque. This year gone totally. ✔️Daily dose K2 /d3 liquid thank you Dr Berg. ✔️Daily dose Tocotrenoils Occasionally: electrolytes powdered. Dr.Berg formula Bergamot / similar to Berberine. Raw garlic , ginger, turmeric cloves may be contributing? My Dr is very inspired after saying no way this cannot be removed. Thank you with all my heart Dr.Berg
Dr Berg can you talk about what vitamins we can take while pregnant? Can K2 be taken if your on blood thinners while you are pregnant. I know K1 you can't
Just whatever you do, be very careful taking vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in high doses. I took D3 30,000 I use 3 to 5 times a week for about a year and a half. Felt great. Then I stopped to give myself a break, and started taking K2 MK7 for 10 days. Developed shortness of breath, heart competitions, light-headedness. Still dealing with it 3 weeks later. I think I depleted a lot of my magnesium. Either way, magnesium is helping to mitigate the symptoms. But be very very careful and get your levels checked before you start randomly supplementing like I did. Do the research on the right kinds of tests also.
That is easy !!! Take coconut oil daily. I use capsules but can just take tablespoon. Also oil pulling with it is great too. 30 days of using it and teeth withh be free of it
Hello. For individuals with prescription medications, we suggest consulting a medical doctor before taking any dietary supplements. -Dr. Berg's Support Team
I'm NOT a fan of Life Extension products as they contain alot of "stuff" that is very toxic to the body, but they present themselves as a reputable company for all natural products.....I don't know why he's suggesting them..
I like to take Niacin at bedtime. That way I sleep through the flush. It significantly drops my blood pressure as well which makes me dizzy and I'd rather not be conscious while it's doing its work.
Dear Dr. Berg, according to my recent studies, the plaques in the blood vessels have behavioral similarity like that of the cholesterol.. It is made by the body according to the requirements of the blood vessels.. I am not conclusive about this, but my work still continues...
Dr. Berg. Another excellent and informative video. Thank you very much. Question, you mentioned K2 dosage in mg, not mcg. How much are you recommending? 1mg? Also is the MK-7 form still the best? Thank you

@Drberg Doc what can I do im 6ft 200lbs 37 years old I was diagnosed with high bp and experiencing dizziness, they put me on a low dose of losartan and statin called rosuvastatin should I take the statin?my triglycerides were 672 unfastened and still over 400 fasted..hdl low 40s anything I can do please I need help
@Drberg thank you for saving lives! I was recently diagnosed with high cholesterol and put on statins. I had a calcium test and score on LAD was high at 149 but i really believe this will work for me to lower that number. All the other numbers were 0 except LCX was 48. I will update in a few months. I noticed you didn't say how long to take these natural supplements? Maybe i missed that part
Dr. Berg quite literally saved my life. I'm 6'5", was 310lbs, and was starting to experience chest pains on a consistent basis. On my 36th birthday at 2am I woke up drenched in sweat and felt like I was about to die right then and there. The pain subsided and I went straight online to search for natural remedies. That day I stopped eating all processed foods, I started eating raw garlic, chi seeds, ground flax, turmeric, fish oil, green tea, only fish and chicken, free range eggs from our farm, etc. etc. Went back to the doctor yesterday and my blood pressure is normal and I'm feeling great with zero chest pains or heaviness. I'm down to 279lbs right now doing only cardio and I'm feeling the best I"ve felt in years. Goal is 250lbs right now :) Thank you Dr. Berg!!!
EDIT: Down to 252lbs now and feeling great! Cholesterol was just checked and is 140. Still doing the same routine however, I've increased my food intake to stop decrease weight loss as I only want to lose 2 more lbs. Thanks all
Wow, great job!

I love that you included the amount people need to take and even mentioned a brand that carries k2 in mg. VERY HELPFUL
I would be careful with taking high levels of ANYTHING. Even Niacin is dangerous and can cause liver failure.

Your clarity and lack of "mumbo jumbo" is second to none Eric. Here in England, if I went to my National Health Service gp (md) & requested a CAC, or Coronary Angiogram BEFORE having "an event" the doctor would practically laugh in my face! It simply wouldn't happen. Getting one done prior to Angina or an MI?...That would be reserved for those who could afford private treatment. And that is the minority here.
😮
the only coronary treatment uk GPs know is amlodipine (blood pressure) monomil (angina) and statins.
try getting a CAC for less than £500,its $99 in the US!

00:00 🩸 Three main components form plaque in arteries: cholesterol, specific protein, and calcium.
00:25 🛡 Soft plaque is more dangerous and unstable, while hard plaque is denser and more stable.
01:24 💡 CAC score might increase when transitioning to a healthier diet due to conversion of soft plaque to hard plaque.
02:18 ⚠ Soft plaque is associated with glycation and oxidation, particularly of pathogenic small dense LDL.
03:16 🩺 Tests such as ultrasound and lipoprotein insulin resistance help identify soft plaque.
04:52 💊 Nutrients like pine bark, gotu kola, and vitamin K2 aid in converting and preventing plaque formation.
06:26 💊 Niacin, particularly the flush variety, can help reduce plaque thickness.

Point of clarification: It is the LEVEL and ACCUMULATION of cholesterols that is bad, not a particular cholesterol itself. Cholesterols in all forms are essential to overall good health.
The jury is still out regarding small dense LDL, despite what some (mainly carnivore) youtubers would like us to believe!
No, it's more the type of cholesterol or LDL that is bad. For example, oxidized LDL.
@@DK-pr9ny LDL is essential in all forms - obviously oxidized anything is bad. Each type of cholesterol in useable form does an essential function in the body. For example, VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) carries triglycerides from the liver into cells. Neither VLDL nor triglycerides are a problem in form, they are a problem only in level of presence in the blood. Your body needs some level of triglycerides. So it also needs VLDL in order for the body to make use of them. It becomes a problem only if the level of triglycerides tips over the line of what is essential, which then by necessity will call up more VLDL production. Again, the emphasis is strictly on LEVEL and ACCUMULATION, not at all on type, of cholesterol.
@@stevelanghorn1407 No jury involved. More importantly, no injury involved. The labeling of “good” and “bad” cholesterols is one the most disastrous PR campaigns ever devised. LDL is absolutely crucial to body function. Cholesterol overall is absolutely necessary for a myriad of body functions. If you want to do a deep dive, there are studies of centenarians showing one peculiar but consistent factor: They all had what is considered by recent standards to be excessive cholesterol levels.

I thought I was pretty healthy, a 61 y/o male weighing 150 lbs. blessed with never having a weight issue, but I was diagnosed about 2 years ago with mild atherosclerosis in my aorta using ultrasound. After taking some K2 (MK-4 and MK-7) for about 6 months, I did another ultrasound, and they found no atherosclerosis in my aorta or anywhere. Also, my energy increased dramatically, especially when cycling, which I love. I couldn't believe the energy level I got from K2 as I haven't felt that in over 10 years. Thank you, Dr. Berg!
Which brand mk4
@@ghabaluxuryessentials2114 Bronson Vitamin K Triple Play has both MK-4 and MK-7.
What were the doses of the K2 that you took? Was it suggested that you take moth MK-4 and MK-7? MK-7 is generally considered the superior form as it sourced naturally.
Who would have thought that "calcification of arteries" would be a good thing.

I'm interested in this. I already take most of them. I take K2 100 mcg 3 times a day with the D3.. I won't take niacin because the flush was so bad I thought I was going to die. I take some nattokinase but you don't say how much. I take all the others except for Pycogenol and Gotukola. My 3 sisters all have stents. I don't want that problem. My baby sister's arteries are blocked. She's down to 90 lbs and keeps needing blocked artery surgeries. She's 65 and I'm 72. Two other sisters are older than me. One needs blocked artery surgery to the legs and so far her lung doctor won't approve the surgery. My sisters all smoked and two were heavy drinkers. Any answers Dr Berg?
Thanks so much Dr. Berg. I've been fasting for 18+ hours a day and noticed significant improvement in cardiovascular function.
Hi Doctor, what about aleuropeine , extracted from olive lieves and fom olive oil . Thanks!
Doctor its nice to hear you saying a Sinhala word Gotukola with is very common in Sri Lanka ❤
We ordered and received your D3 & K2 vitamin bc hubby has atherosclerosis. You suggested this in another one of your videos. Gonna just keep going with these along with the Mediterranean diet we’ve been doing for a month now.
Cyruta by Standard Process is recommended by dr. Darren Schmidt of ann arbor. He has TH-cam videos also. We took my mom off statin and replaced with Cyruta. Its nickname is rotorooter of the arteries. Between dr. Berg and dr. Schmidt, reversed mom's dementia. I hope I'm not being forward with this unsolicited info.
Dr. Berg - there’s been a lot of talk about K2 not being as effective as once thought. Can you please do an updated dive based on those newer studies?
And the extremely high doses that were seemingly better than the very low dose recommended. Also when to take it (with food? Always same time as D?) Would love to know more!
@@sweetpeace5it’s so confusing: I always thought it’s best not take d and K at same time. Take them apart.
Pine Bark and Nattokinase are both blood thinners. So it may not be good to take both together. Also Pine Bark can upset your stomach if taken long term as I found out.
I've been taking both twice a day for years and have not adverse reactions, unlike drugs.
Again, spot on Dr B, when I was young I would choke down water to quell the niacin flush, now I enjoy the warmth and tingle I get from it. Lumbrokinase , a proteolytic enzyme, on an empty stomach ,is said to lower artery calcification .
I had a widow maker heart attack last February. The cardiologist told me it was a piece of plaque that broke off and lodge. Heart disease runs on my father's side, but I have been trying to take care of myself. The other 2 arteries look good, but would like to find something to help clean the plaque of my main artery as I continue to eat right.
The thing that many doctors are not aware of is that statins raise your calcium score. So patient are on chronic statin therapy who undergo CAC scoring will get in accurate results. your illustration suggest that as the calcified plaque becomes more stabilized and dense that the degree of stenosis goes down so your calcium score goes up, but the degree of stenosis goes down? Is that what you were saying?
Doc, Phosphatidyl Choline found in Soy Lecithin is a fat emulsifier and removes soft plaque. Combine that with Vitamin C protected by Grape Seed Extract to restore elasticity to arteries and optimize capillaries. Introduce Lecithin slowly, one the first week, daily the seventh week to prevent leakage where the cholesterol has become part of the artery structure, allowing time for collagen synthesis from Grape Seed Extract and Vitamin C to make repairs.
🤔soy lecithin (used in tons of processed foods) & grapeseed oil (also processed) do not sound like positive influences 🫣

Thank you again Dr Berg. I have everything you mentioned now I’m just going to use them together and regularly. I’m sure to see you in heaven.
I hope Dr. Berg is right. At a relatively low age, my score went from 26 to 117 over the past two years as I was eating a healthy low carb diet full of the healthiest fats and proteins. Impeccable bloodwork. My cardiologist has dropped me after I refused statin.
A primary physician insisted that I take statins because a carotid echocardiogram revealed a little plaque 7 years ago, and a repeat now shows the same amount. But, he says, I have ""atherosclerosis", and will have it for life. So I got the prescription several months ago, and this bottle is in my cabinet unopened. I never took a single capsule, and i will never do so.
The results of this study showed a significant decrease in liver damage in the group us- ing Pycnogenol. In the immunohistochemical examination, it was observed that the free oxygen radicals decreased but the difference was not significant

Dr. Berg - I won't be able to find the video, but you one recommended 100 mcg of K2 mk7 per 10,000 ibu of D3. What has changed your mind on this? A new study? Can you link to the new info? Do I also then need to drastically increase my D3 intake?
Also, can you vouch for the quality of the K2 that you are recommending or is it solely based on the fact that they are the only one producing in large doses?
Can you clear up my confusion please?
He’s not going to clear up your confusion. If you haven’t noticed he doesn’t respond to people’s questions - only if you compliment.
I've had hereditary high cholesterol most of my life. Currently, I am at 258 total, so my doctor orders an angiogram test every year. I take red rice yeast and magnesium daily, and I have literally no plaque build-up in my arteries. My doctor said he would usually put a patient with 258 total cholesterol on statins, but since I had no other issues like pre-diabetes or high blood pressure, and little to no plaque in my arteries I didn't need any.
He suggested I take red rice yeast years ago, and I started magnesium (all 3 types) last year. I weigh 210 lbs at 6ft tall and am in decent shape for a 52 year old. I eat well, cook for myself with all organic ingredients, do not drink often. This is totally hereditary.
I attribute being plaque free to the red yeast rice and magnesium and good diet.
Red Rice Yeast is a natural form of a statin.
The Mega K2 is MK-4, not MK-7. Check out the literature on removal vs. prevention on those.
I thought he only recommended MK 7. What's up with that.
Not only that but he doesn't mention you need D3 with it to function.
@@jogeorge9752it’s confusing because now he’s saying MK4 not mK7… I’ve been taking mk7 for ages now… not sure what to do and he doesn’t respond to questions so we’ve been left high and dry starting on one protocol and now switching with no explanation.
I want to thank you for your suggestion (not medical advice), of mega dosing of Vitamin D for me. I’m currently 10000 iu’s of Vitamin D and also taking 400 mcg of Vitamin K2 with it, as well as 500 mg of a high quality Mg supplement. This is purely anecdotal but I feel better when I wake up to go to the gym. I’m 52 and still have the same strength as I did when I was 25!
Great results, keep up the good work!

Congratulations I hope your Dr appreciates you and tells you good job and you’re an inspiration for everybody
Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) offers benefits that include anti-diabetic, wound-healing, enhancing memory, lupus, various skin diseases, varicose ulcers, antioxidant and boosting cognitive functions. Gotu kola can be taken as a supplement, brewed as a tea, or used as an extract. For skin conditions, it can also be applied topically.
While the herb is generally safe to use, careful dosing can help limit the risks.
This doesn’t make sense to me. We first say we want to convert the soft plaque to calcified plaque a those are more stable and less dangerous. Then we say take K2 to avoid the calcification of the plaque. To me this sounds contradictory. Can someone please help me understand? Are we trying to avoid the calcification of plaque, or are we trying to convert the soft plaque into calcified plaque?
Dr. Berg, I am still waiting on your response for how much Life Extension Mega K2 Vitamin and adding D3 should I take? I do have moderate plaque build up.
Doctors won’t generally prescribe those cardiac tests unless you are at high risk or having symptoms.

Dr Berg can you talk about what vitamins we can take while pregnant? Can K2 be taken if your on blood thinners while you are pregnant. I know K1 you can't
And thank you for all of your amazing work
You're most welcome.
Where should your numbers be for the blood test that you recommended? Lipoprotein insulin resistance? Just had my doctor test me today.
Just whatever you do, be very careful taking vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 in high doses. I took D3 30,000 I use 3 to 5 times a week for about a year and a half. Felt great. Then I stopped to give myself a break, and started taking K2 MK7 for 10 days. Developed shortness of breath, heart competitions, light-headedness. Still dealing with it 3 weeks later. I think I depleted a lot of my magnesium. Either way, magnesium is helping to mitigate the symptoms.
But be very very careful and get your levels checked before you start randomly supplementing like I did. Do the research on the right kinds of tests also.
Maybe the mk7 you supplemented with is synthetic k2 mk7 (cis form) and not all natural "trans" k2 mk7 which is a miracle.
Dr Berg…. Which is more accurate for the carotid arteries…an ultrasound or an MRA/MRI?
