I'm so glad you mentioned the quality of the actual fruits and vegetables themselves! Born and raised in America, so I didn't realize what my mom said when she complained that American produce isn't as delicious as in Haiti. Now, I live in Japan, and the difference is truly shocking. The color of the egg yolk, the richness of the vegetables, the sweetness of the fruit, the juiciness of the chicken... everything is so delicious. From the outside, you might think that Japan serves small food portions, but honestly, it fills you!

This should be played in every school every year of a child's life and it would improve people's lives so much! 😊 Dr Berg you are awesome! 🍃

I started really focusing on my diet and vitamins to manage my adhd because I wasn’t doing well on medication and since I’ve been taking omega-3, iron, and vitamin d, I’ve stopped feeling exhausted all the time and it’s helped a lot with my fidgeting. And my dark circles are starting to get less pronounced

Hi Dr! I’m a Cosmetologist and I have a contradicting opinion on the first topic. While I was in school studying nails, we went over nail diseases and deformities, and we were taught that white spots on nails are actually due to something called Leukonychia which is an injury to the nail matrix. The matrix is the part of the nail/finger that creates the cells to form the nail plate and when that gets injured it can cause little white spots on the nail. Injury could be anything from bumping the backs of your fingers to closing a door on your fingers. Anyways I guess I’m saying this to let other people know in the comment section that the white spots on your nails might be a zinc deficiency but it could also just be because you’re clumsy.

While you were talking about fruits and vegetables, I remembered my dad telling me how much he always complained about the fruit and vegetables in the USA when he first moved from his home. When he went back home to visit his parents, he ran to the backyard and started shoving tomatoes into his mouth and just devouring them. My grandma asked him, “What are you doing? Do they not have tomatoes in America?” He responded, “No. Not like these.”

23 minutes of informative video about 23 signs to help our own health in order to have a better life from dear Dr. Berg. I appreciate your work.

Registered nurse here. Some of these symptoms can indicate severe systemic conditions. Always see your GP.

Dr Berg should be Head of the WHO!! Who else agrees?????

I love that this isn't just a supplement recommendation list for a bunch of random symptoms, but that you actually explain sometimes what causes the symptom itself, give common causes for each deficiency, and perhaps best of all, you always recommend food before supplements for each one.

I actually treated for depression for 3 years before my now endocrinologist tested me for a bunch of vitamins and found out my vitamin D was dangerously low, my body has a deficiency on producing even if I stay in the sun, so I started to take supplements and in a really short time every depression symptom I had went away.

Dr. Berg you are the absolute man. Giving people the real information to stay healthy. We need more doctors like you!

Dr. Berg, I watched this video and there were 4 things and I ordered the Vitamins and I have been taking them for the past week and I feel much better, I can actually tell the difference. Thank you!

So basically most will GREATLY benefit from taking zinc/vitamin D/omega 3's and reducing refined grains and sugar from their diets Enjoyed the video! Thanks!!

My husband had yellowing eyes and skin. Thought he needed bile salts. Actually turned out to be a bile duct blockage causing the jaundice and bile salts worsened the problem. Just something to consider when trying to self diagnose. Sometimes consulting your doctor before beginning a new supplement pays off.

I love how you provide a solution for each problem. Very simple and straightforward.

This is such an amazing tuition. Thank you
