The RDA does not always equal the amount needed to correct a deficiency or produce therapeutic benefits. It’s often the bare minimum needed to prevent severe deficiency. Many people aren’t taking enough of key nutrients to see meaningful results.People often rely on supplements to solve health problems without making dietary changes. A healthy diet is essential for proper supplement absorption and maximizing benefits.Cofactors are nutrients that work together in biochemical reactions throughout the body. If you’re not taking vitamins with their cofactors, it could be one reason your supplements aren’t working. In nature, vitamins don’t exist in isolation, they come in complexes with other supporting nutrients.Timing also matters. Some supplements are best taken in the morning, while others may be more beneficial before bed.The source of a supplement is important as well. While certain synthetic compounds, such as benfotiamine and TUDCA, can be beneficial, many nutrients are best obtained from naturally sourced supplements. It’s also important to avoid unnecessary fillers like maltodextrin.The form of a vitamin or mineral can significantly affect absorption. For example, many magnesium supplements contain magnesium oxide, which is poorly absorbed and can be hard on the digestive system. Magnesium glycinate is a better choice for absorption and overall effectiveness.Dr. Eric Berg, DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Thinning eyebrows2. High cholesterol3. Puffy face4. Carpal tunnel syndrome5. Depression or anxiety6. Headaches7. Low body temperatureA slow thyroid is often diagnosed using only thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, but many people may be diagnosed incorrectly when a full thyroid panel isn’t performed.If you have a slow thyroid, there are several natural ways to support thyroid health and improve symptoms.A complete thyroid panel should include T3, T4, TSH, and thyroid antibodies, not just thyroid-stimulating hormone levels alone.If thyroid antibodies are present, it’s most likely a case of Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism. If antibodies are not present, it usually indicates a general hypothyroid condition.Selenium is important for both types of hypothyroidism and plays a key role in thyroid function. If you have a slow thyroid, it’s also important to check iodine levels before increasing iodine intake. Iodine may be beneficial in some cases, but too much can worsen thyroid problems.Dr. Eric Berg, DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Most people are never told about the connection between Ozempic and liver damage.

Another 37% showed measurable improvement in liver fibrosis.Most people taking Ozempic are using it for weight loss, not for liver inflammation or fibrosis.In one reported case, a woman started Ozempic after bariatric surgery and ended up hospitalized just 2 weeks later with severely elevated liver enzymes similar to acute liver failure.Hepatotoxicity is not currently listed as a common Ozempic side effect, which means liver damage may sometimes be overlooked. Symptoms such as fatigue, mild abdominal discomfort, or loss of appetite may be dismissed as normal side effects rather than possible signs of liver stress.The gut, liver, and gallbladder were not designed to be constantly stimulated by GLP-1. Naturally, GLP-1 increases for a short time after eating, but GLP-1 drugs can stimulate this pathway continuously for up to 7 days.While Ozempic may lead to weight loss, some of that weight may come from lean body mass and bone density rather than fat. It also does not address the root cause of insulin resistance. Most people ultimately regain two-thirds of what they lost when they quit using Ozempic.

If you’re dealing with pattern hair loss, a receding hairline, or thinning hair, this is for you.

This physical barrier can prevent healthy hair growth.If you’re experiencing hair loss, your hair follicles aren't actually dead; they’re dormant. Even people who are completely bald still have living stem cells within the hair follicles.Scar tissue on the scalp is often caused by inflammation. Inflammation can lead to calcification and reduced blood flow to the scalp, preventing many hair loss remedies from working effectively.You may have heard that DHT, a powerful form of testosterone, causes pattern hair loss. There is usually a deeper root cause behind DHT-related hair loss: insulin resistance.Hair follicles depend on glucose for fuel. If you’re insulin-resistant, hair follicles may not get the energy they need to support healthy hair growth.Simply taking a DHT blocker without addressing insulin resistance may not produce significant results. Improving insulin resistance is a more effective strategy for supporting natural hair regrowth, and a low-carb diet is one of the best ways to combat it.Scalp microneedling has been shown to help break up scar tissue and improve the penetration of topical hair loss remedies. This helps natural remedies, such as topical melatonin, work more effectively.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

How can you overcome vitamin D deficiency on the carnivore diet without increasing your intake?

Take the 2-minute quiz to discover your #1 Health Lever: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D and the carnivore diet 1:01 Magnesium, zinc, vitamin K2, and D31:55 Other barriers to vitamin D absorption2:11 Carnivore diet benefits 3:19 Vitamin K2 benefits 3:57 Cholesterol and vitamin D 5:01 Vitamin D receptor resistance 6:14 Carnivore diet results Many people notice major improvements on the carnivore diet, including reduced symptoms of autoimmune disease, less joint pain, improved mood, and better overall health.Although beef, chicken, pork, and other meats are relatively low in vitamin D, the carnivore diet can still help correct vitamin D deficiency. Simply taking more vitamin D doesn’t always solve the problem.Vitamin D depends on several important cofactors, including magnesium, zinc, vitamin K2, retinol, and cholesterol, the raw material used to make vitamin D in the body.Vitamin D enters your cells through the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D receptor resistance is very common, often caused by obesity, insulin resistance, and poor gut health.Meat is a potent source of highly bioavailable nutrients, especially the cofactors needed for vitamin D. Many plant foods contain antinutrients that can interfere with nutrient absorption.Vitamin D is made from cholesterol, so inadequate cholesterol intake can also impact vitamin D production.The carnivore diet helps to reduce gut inflammation, increase autophagy, improve bile flow, reduce SIBO, and eliminate candida overgrowth, all of which support better vitamin D absorption and overall health.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Prolonged sitting is one of the worst things for your joints.Most people are deficient in collagen because the modern diet provides very little.Collagen also requires specific mechanical input to benefit different tissues. Whether you’re supporting bones, tendons, ligaments, or skin, the right types of movement can help maximize collagen absorption and effectiveness.Your blood vessels are largely made of collagen. Brisk walking, interval training, and nasal breathing can help support vascular health and direct collagen where it’s needed.Aim for about 15 grams of collagen daily, paired with vitamin C to support absorption. For best results, consume collagen 30 to 60 minutes before exercise.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Take the 2-minute quiz to discover your #1 Health Lever: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 0:00 Introduction: Anti-aging secrets0:47 Glycine deficiency explained2:14 Glycine benefits and function6:29 Glycine benefits and aging 8:10 Glycine and gut health 9:36 The best anti-aging adviceMost people don’t know about this powerful anti-aging secret.Glycine is classified as a non-essential amino acid because the body can make it, but many people are still deficient. Most glycine in the diet comes from collagen, yet modern diets provide very little.An ancestral diet included nose-to-tail eating with plenty of collagen, while today most people eat only lean, tender muscle meats. As a result, a large percentage of adults have chronically low glycine levels.Glycine plays a critical role in red blood cell health, DNA and RNA production, bile salts, and glutathione, one of the body’s most important antioxidants. Your body prioritizes these essential functions first, which means other areas can become depleted.Glycine is also vital for the immune system and quality sleep. When levels are low, your skin may not get enough support, contributing to visible aging. It also impacts fascia, tendons, cartilage, arteries, and the gut lining.You don’t necessarily need a glycine supplement; just focus on increasing collagen intake instead. Add collagen to your coffee or a shake, and pair it with vitamin C to support absorption.
