The chronic disease epidemic in the U.S. is not caused by what you think. Discover why overdiagnosis is so common and why chronic disease diagnoses continue to rise. 0:00 The chronic disease epidemic 1:03 Diabetes, cholesterol, and hypertension diagnosis 1:18 Hypertension diagnosis changes 1:41 Cholesterol guidelines changes 2:17 Diabetes and prediabetes 2:48 Overdiagnosis controversy 4:34 Does overdiagnosis help? 5:46 What causes insulin resistance and chronic illness? 6:18 Type 2 diabetes reversal 6:51 How to lower cholesterol naturally 7:50 How to lower blood pressure 🌟 Take the 2-minute Health Lever Quiz: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 [https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9]  If you’re dealing with chronic disease symptoms, understanding the root cause is critical, but it’s often overlooked. One of the best ways to identify the root cause is to determine when your symptoms began, and what happened just before that. In 2017, more than 31 million people were diagnosed with hypertension overnight without any actual change in their blood pressure. Instead, the diagnostic definition of high blood pressure changed. Similar trends have occurred with cholesterol and diabetes. In 1988, an LDL level of 190 was considered normal. By 2001, that threshold had dropped to 130, and statin prescriptions doubled. The classification for high cholesterol dropped again in 2013. Prediabetes was also introduced as a diagnostic category, and today more than 115 million Americans have diabetes or prediabetes. Expanded diagnostic classifications have not translated into longer life expectancy. Chronically elevated insulin may be at the root of many chronic illnesses, and a high-carbohydrate diet can keep insulin levels elevated. Natural approaches and lifestyle factors are not always addressed when someone receives a chronic disease diagnosis. Dr. Eric Berg, D.C.

Episode Eggs Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk By 47% (Here’s What They Don’t Tell You) Cover

Eggs Reduce Alzheimer’s Risk By 47% (Here’s What They Don’t Tell You)

Can eggs reduce Alzheimer’s risk by 47%? Eggs are excellent for cognitive health, but there’s more to the story. Discover the connection between eggs and Alzheimer’s disease, how eggs support brain health, and whether they’re a useful tool for dementia prevention. 0:00 Eggs and dementia 1:30 Egg and brain health 2:35 Choline and brain health 3:38 Lutein in eggs 4:09 What is Alzheimer’s? 6:35 Egg nutrition facts 7:08 Eggs and cholesterol 8:42 Pasture-raised eggs vs. conventional eggs 🌟 Download Dr. Berg’s Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 [https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9]  When new research is presented, it’s important to look beyond the headlines. Read the study carefully, see what the researchers are actually comparing, and ask questions like who funded the research. Eggs contain more than 850 proteins and are one of the richest dietary sources of choline. Just two eggs provide about 300 mg of choline. Choline is an essential building block for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that supports communication between neurons. Many Alzheimer’s medications work by slowing the breakdown of acetylcholine. Eggs also contain lutein, another important nutrient that supports brain health and cognitive health. Eggs are true brain food, providing high-quality protein, choline, lutein, B vitamins, folate, iodine, selenium, trace minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients support brain health and may play a role in dementia prevention. Dr. Eric Berg, D.C.

Episode The #1 Best Protocol to Reverse Gout (& Prevent It) Cover

The #1 Best Protocol to Reverse Gout (& Prevent It)

Are you dealing with chronic gout attacks? Discover the underlying cause of gout, the foods that cause gout, and the best remedy for gout to help keep it from coming back. 0:00 Recurrent gout symptoms 0:11 Foods that cause gout 0:42 Underlying causes of gout 1:43 Fructose and gout flares 3:15 Hidden glucose and insulin 3:49 Gut health and gout 6:04 Gout attack on keto 7:02 How to lower uric acid 7:21 How to prevent gout 🌟 Take the 2-minute Health Lever Quiz: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 [https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9]  When faced with a gout diagnosis, many people are told to reduce their intake of red meat, organ meats, and shellfish because they contain purines. Purines turn into uric acid, and for a small percentage of people, removing them from the diet may eliminate gout symptoms. However, many people find that avoiding purines alone doesn’t help. Research has found that one of the strongest drivers of gout is insulin resistance. Uric acid is normally eliminated through the kidneys and the gut. When you have insulin resistance, it becomes more difficult for the kidneys to flush out uric acid. As uric acid builds up, it can accumulate in the joints, causing gout pain, or back up into the kidneys and contribute to kidney stones. High-fructose corn syrup can significantly increase uric acid production in the liver. Fructose is found in table sugar, agave nectar, fruit, and fruit juice, and is primarily metabolized by the liver. Hidden glucose from industrial starches can significantly raise insulin levels, contributing to uric acid buildup and joint pain, especially in the big toe and knees. Poor gut health and alcohol consumption may also contribute to gout. Some people experience a gout attack when starting keto, but this is typically temporary and often subsides within the first or second week. Consuming celery and increasing your fluid intake may help your body clear uric acid more quickly. Dr. Eric Berg, D.C.
