SYMPTOMS

BAD BREATH

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Low Potassium

Explanation:
Bad breath is a common issue brought on by fungus and mold in your mouth. As you
know,
we also have good bacteria in our bodies that assist with many functions. The key is to
get rid of bad bacteria, fungus and mold but at the same time keep good cells and
bacteria. This is where oregano oil comes in. Bad breath on keto:
Does your mouth smell like acetone (like nail polish or paint thinner) on keto? Acetone is
one of the three types of ketones. It’s a byproduct of fat burning. An acetone-like smell
simply means your body is still adapting to keto. It’s safe and temporary.

Diet:

• Take oregano oil • Continue with the Healthy Keto ® diet

• Make sure your carbs are below 20 grams or even less
• Be moderate with your protein
• Take electrolytes and more fluid
• Take more chlorophyll (vegetables)
• Do intermittent fasting to speed up the transition

Causes:

Low Potassium
Infection

Remedies:

Electrolyte Powder
Bacti-Cleanse
Veggie Solution, Raspberry & Lemon Natural Flavor

BELLY FAT

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: High Estrogen

Explanation:
If you have belly fat there are hormonal and dietary reasons behind that. There is an
effective remedy for it. Let’s take a look at the common causes and remedies.
Cause #1: High-carb diet
If you are on a regular high-carb diet your insulin will be too high. Insulin is a fat-storing
hormone. It also lowers blood sugar below the normal range, which causes feelings of
hunger and cravings. The problem is that if you consume carbs again to satisfy the
hunger, it will spike insulin and the cycle will repeat.
Repeating the cycle for a long enough time will eventually cause Insulin resistance (your
body produces too much insulin and your cells are resisting it) and that condition is
behind a lot of health problems.
As far as belly fat goes-insulin mostly stores excess carbs as fat in the belly area. The
solution to belly fat is to do a Healthy Keto® diet and an intermittent fasting plan. Cause
#2: Too much stress
If you undergo a lot of stress, whether mental or physical, without being able to recover
efficiently that can cause belly fat. This is because your adrenals (stress regulating
glands) produce cortisol to help with stress. Cortisol can break down your muscles and
store it as fat in your belly and glutes.
The solution is to follow a healthy diet and exercise routine, and address your stress
directly. This can normalize the level of cortisol (not too low and not too high).
Additionally, improving your sleep is going to be very beneficial for your adrenals and fat
burning.

Diet:

• Avoid refined carbs and sugar

• Avoid snacking
• Do a Healthy Keto® diet
• Do intermittent fasting
• Consume moderate amounts of protein (3 to 6 oz per meal)
• Consume vegetables (7 to 10 cups a day)
- Exercise

Causes:

Poor Sleep
High Estrogen

BLOATING, BELCHING OR BURPING

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Low Bile

Explanation:

This symptom is usually a gallbladder problem due to low amounts of bile. Bile is the
fluid that helps break down fats and may be thought of as a detergent that helps
dissolve the grease.

Your gallbladder stores, concentrates, and releases bile. Bile is recycled in the body but
many people lose bile if they have high stress levels or a fatty liver. If the gallbladder is
removed, there will certainly be a deficiency in bile.

The other cause of this bloating, belching, or burping is a lack of stomach acid. It takes
a strong acid to trigger the release of bile. Stomach acid also helps break down food
higher up in the digestive tract (in the stomach), and without acid, food can end up being
undigested (called indigestion).

The addition of an acidifier plus a bile supplement is the best combination to reduce this
symptom.

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 4/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

As people age, their body may lose the ability to produce stomach acid. High stress
(shown with high cortisol levels), high estrogen, and high insulin levels can all reduce
bile production.

Diet:

Avoid nuts. Add more vegetables to the diet. Avoid combining too many foods at one
time, as this can also stress the digestive system. Consuming both sugar or refined
carbohydrate food with protein can also create more stress on the digestive system.

Apple cider vinegar (1-2 teaspoons in water) is a good remedy for these conditions.

Fennel and ginger are two great home remedies you can also use.

You can take my Advanced Digestive Formula, which can reduce indigestion, gas and
bloating.

BLOOD SUGAR IMBALANCES (HYPOGLYCEMIA OR DIABETES)

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: High Insulin

Explanation:

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 5/33

When the blood sugar level is high, this means that insulin, for some reason, is not
bringing it down. Insulin regulates blood sugar by lowering it, and if there is not enough
insulin to keep blood sugars low, then blood sugar rises.

Dysfunctional insulin can occur by a condition called insulin resistance. This is a

problem whereby insulin receptors in the cells reject insulin. It's as if the insulin is
knocking on the 'door' of the cell, saying, "Let me in! I'll help you get the energy you
need..." but the cells say, "NO! Go away! We don't want our blood sugar regulated today."
And thus, the blood sugar level stays high.

This whole scenario then causes a rebound effect to the pancreas by creating even
higher amounts of insulin (5-7x more). Finally, the pancreas becomes exhausted and
eventually the person develops diabetes.

Insulin resistance is a condition of having high insulin levels, but the insulin that is
produced is unavailable for the body to use.

High blood sugar levels, even if they are only 105-115 mg/dl (80-100 mg/dl is normal)
can cause dementia (brain atrophy) in a percentage of the population.

Both hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) conditions
have insulin resistance as a common denominator.

Diet:

See eating plan.

1. Dietary changes must include eliminating sugar from the diet.

2. Adding 7 cups of veggies per day will increase potassium and reduce the need for
insulin.

3. Having protein with each meal is also necessary (3-6 ounces).

4. Increase B vitamins (especially vitamin B1) by taking nutritional yeast in a kefir

product. This will also reduce the need for insulin.
https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 6/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

5. High cortisol levels, due to adrenal stress, can spike insulin levels and cause diabetes.

6. If you have symptoms of peripheral neuropathy (foot and hand pain), add fat-soluble
B1 vitamin (Benfotiamine), which can help the myelin around the nerves.

7. Replace sugars with non-GMO xylitol (alternative sweetener).

8. Avoid taking snacks between meals because eating, in general, raises insulin.

9. Add more healthy fat between meals to feel less hungry and go longer without
snacking.

10. Wheat grass juice powder has properties to help support healthy blood sugars. It
does this through sensitizing insulin receptors to allow insulin to do its job better.

CONSTIPATION

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Low Bile

Explanation:

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 7/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

Normal bowel movements should be after every meal, 1-3 times per day.

Constipation has many causes.

1. Lack of bile (Bile acts as a lubricant.)
2. Antibiotics (These are notorious for killing the good bacteria. If you take a probiotic
with Acidophilus gasseri, you will have greater weight loss than if you use other strains.
This microbe is extremely effective to help you lose weight.)
3) Low Vitamin B1 (This vitamin is necessary for the movement of the food through the
digestive tract - peristalsis.)
4) Lack of stomach acid (If you can't digest food in the stomach, it will still be partially
undigested when it gets to the colon.
5) Stress can shut down the colon via the fight or flight system when you are in an "on
the guard" mode or in conflict mode. This is when the nervous system shifts to being
sympathetic nervous system dominant, and when bowel movements are inhibited.
6) Potassium deficiency. Potassium helps smooth muscles relax. Many people do not
get even a fraction of the amount of potassium in their diets. We need 4700 mg each
day (7-10 cups of vegetables or salad).

Diet:

Anything that gives you more good probiotic bacteria in your colon will be beneficial.
This includes fermented foods like pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kefir, etc.

Yogurt only provides food for microbes in your colon unless it has additional probiotic
strains added to it. Kefir provides beneficial microbes that colonize the intestinal tract.

You can take my Probiotic Liquid, which supplies twelve friendly bacteria strains to
support your gut microbiome and promotes a healthy digestive system.

A change in eating plans will usually aid constipation. But on a temporary basis,

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 8/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

magnesium and potassium supplements will give you short-term relief.

But then, taking the higher amount of potassium will also increase bowel movements.

Causes:

Low Stomach Acid

Low Bile
Lack of flora (friendly bacteria)

Remedies:

Gallbladder Formula

DIZZY WHEN STANDING UP TOO FAST

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Autonomic

nervous system dysfunction

Explanation:

The adrenal glands regulate your body when you change positions. They alter the inner
pressure, based on body position.

When the adrenals are weak, the adaptation of the body to alter the blood flow to the
head after getting up too quickly can be sluggish and delayed. This can cause dizziness.

Diet:

Get on the eating plan to support healthy adrenals.

Nutritional support to the adrenals includes the Adrenal & Cortisol Support, and
sometimes the Sleep Aid, based on what's happening in your body.

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 9/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

Avoid overtraining or strenuous exercise. Walking is best.

Get more sleep, which will help boost adrenal function.

Causes:

Autonomic nervous system dysfunction

Low Cortisol

Remedies:

Adrenal & Cortisol Support

FATIGUE

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Poor Sleep

Explanation:

Fatigue can come from many things:

1) Lack of sleep
2) Blood sugar issues (from eating sugar)
3) Low vitamin C levels, as in scurvy
4) Poor immune system (fighting an infection)
5) Adrenal fatigue

The big key is not to take something to boost your energy but instead, find out what’s
causing your energy levels to be so low.

For people who eat a healthy diet and get a good night of sleep, yet are still fatigued, I
would look at the immune system. For example, if you had mono (caused by the
mononucleosis virus) in the past, chances are good that the virus could come out of
https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 10/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

remission and create fatigue. This is because you can’t kill viruses. They are not alive.
They will invade your cells, cause infection, then go dormant. Years later, they can come
out of remission when you are older, stressed, or predisposed (low immunity). Mono
usually doesn’t give you a full-blown infection, but can give you a symptom of fatigue.

Diet:

See the eating plan for this.

Then, isolate the cause of your fatigue. I usually focus on a recommendation of getting
more sleep. Some people sleep long but still don’t feel refreshed in the morning. This is
because they are not getting the quality of sleep, and they have little of the right kind of
sleep called deep sleep. It means they need to work on the adrenals.

Adrenal fatigue tends to keep you on a stress mode. You're 'on' all the time and this
prevents you from fully turning off your nervous system, which is supposed to reset
itself at night. Use the Massage Tool to apply Dr. Berg’s Acupressure Techniques; it will
help a lot.

If the problem is lowered immunity, try using oregano oil. This is the best antiviral
remedy I have found.

Causes:

Poor Sleep
Insulin Resistance

FATTY LIVER

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Low Bile

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 11/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

Explanation:

This could be caused by vitamin A deficiency; however, by adding bile salts, your body's
absorption of vitamin A and other fat soluble vitamins will greatly increase.

People who get very little vitamin A from their diets usually have a gallbladder problem
or do not have a gallbladder at all. If you are missing a gallbladder, you will be deficient
in bile. It is the fluid that helps in the absorption of vitamin A.

Choline is a fat-soluble nutrient that is vital for the healthy functioning of your brain and
body. It also helps to prevent fat accumulation on your liver--along with many other great
benefits. Choline is one of the best ways to support the metabolism of fats, which can
be particularly beneficial in removing fat from your liver.

Diet:

Consume foods that are high in vitamin A like extra virgin cod liver oil, butter from grass-
fed animals, and eggs.

The active form of vitamin A can only be found in animal products. Foods like kale and
parsley that have more than 30,000 IU of vitamin A per cup only contain pre-vitamin A,
which is absorbed at a rate of about 4%. However, I do recommend that you consume
these foods for other health reasons.

Too much junk food or coffee can deplete vitamin A and cause dry eyes, too. This is why
it’s not just because of the lack of vitamin A in the diet, but also because of eating the
wrong foods that may prevent the absorption of it.

Consume a choline supplement and foods that are high in choline such as egg yolks
(pasture-raised organic), liver (grass fed), poultry, meat, cruciferous vegetables, peanuts,
dairy.

Causes:

Low Bile
Low Vitamin A

HEADACHES

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: High Estrogen

Explanation:

There are 5 causes of most headaches:

1) Stress and Changes in sleep patterns
2) Sinus issues
3) Old head injuries
4) Neck dysfunction
5) High estrogen dominance (if cyclic)

Vitamin B2 and getting optimal rest is the ultmiate solution when aiding headaches.

In Chinese acupuncture, there is what is called the gallbladder meridian, which travels
around the head into the temples. So if the gallbladder is producing low bile, that too
can cause headaches.

Diet:

I would determine the deeper cause based on “other” symptoms that could relate to any
of the five listed above.

Causes:

HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: High Insulin

Explanation:

If you consume too many carbs your body will produce a lot of insulin. Insulin is a fat-
storing hormone that also converts blood sugar into cholesterol. This is the most
common problem when people have high amounts of cholesterol in the body. The
solution would be to do the Healthy Keto® diet and an intermittent fasting plan. Bile is
an important liquid that is produced by your liver and stored in your gallbladder. It helps
absorb fats and acts as detergent in your liver. Additionally, bile helps to eliminate
excess cholesterol in your blood. If you have liver damage or gallbladder damage this
can cause low bile production in your body.

Diet:

By getting on the basic eating plan, you’ll be on your way to doing the right thing
because the eating plan has built in a way of lowering sugar levels and foods that help
reduce insulin.

Low thyroid function can also cause cholesterol to be high in the blood. In this case you
https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 14/33

want to support your thyroid gland and consume the right foods for that. Sea kelp is
good for that.

Causes:

Low Bile
High Insulin
Insulin Resistance

Remedies:

Sea Kelp Enhanced Iodine

INDIGESTION

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Low Stomach Acid

Explanation:

Lack of stomach acids causes food to be undigested. If this occurs, food tends to sit in
the stomach too long and regurgitate. The stomach's pH level is normally supposed to
be between 1 and 3. This is extremely acidic. As the pH rises and the numbers rise past
3, food does not become digested and all sorts of symptoms such as bloating,
indigestion, and even heartburn occurs.

Diet:

The first thing I do is to get the person on the correct eating plan. Combination of
protein and sugar or refined grains at a meal can dramatically slow digestion.

Adding apple cider vinegar in water with each meal can help.
Put 1-2 teaspoons in a glass of water.

Causes:

LOSS OF MEMORY

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: High Insulin

Explanation:

The most common cause of a loss of memory is having high insulin. This could be due
to a pre-diabetic situation called Insulin Resistance.

What happens is that glucose can't enter the brain to the degree it should because there
is resistance to insulin. Insulin also functions to provide nutrition to the cells, not just
glucose but also amino acids, minerals, and fatty acids. Basically, the brain cells are
starved of nutrition when you have a problem with insulin, thus the memory loss occurs.

Other most possible cause of memory loss is the nutrient deficiency. There are several
nutrients that are vital for the healthy functioning of the brain. If you are deficient in
those nutrients, the hippocampus (a complex brain structure that has a major role in
learning and memory) is the part of your brain that will be affected most. The good thing
is that it can regenerate if you restore your normal levels of the nutrients.

The adrenal gland may also have a connection to memory loss. High stress (high
cortisol) can starve the brain of oxygen.

Diet:

Do the Healthy Keto® diet and Intermittent fasting to improve insulin resistance. Avoid
sugar and carbs as it can worsen your memory loss.

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 16/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

Restore vitamin B1, vitamin D, zinc, and oxygen in your body as they are vital in the
healthy functioning of hippocampus in your brain. To restore vitamin B1, take nutritional
yeast. To restore vitamin D, take vitamin D3 (10,000 to 20,000 IU daily) and virgin cod
liver oil. To restore zinc, take a zinc supplement and consume consume beef liver and
shellfish. To restore oxygen, exercise, take long walks outside daily (at least 45 minutes)
and get hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

LOW TESTOSTERONE (MEN)

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: High Insulin

Explanation:

People are confused about raising testosterone levels. They think they have to boost
their own level of it. Actually, there is a better solution: remove the what is pushing it
down.

There are 3 hormones that inhibit testosterone:

1. High insulin
This is caused by sugar in the diet, snacking, and hidden sugars as well.

2. High cortisol (from stress)

High cortisol will affect your sleep and this comes from stress. When you are not
sleeping, your adrenals get more stressed out and your testosterone drops.

3. High estrogen
This can come from eating animal products with hormones and can drop testosterone
levels. You develop man-boobs and start losing body hair, etc.

Diet:

Food-wise, the most important focus should be on getting rid of sugar from the diet.
Testosterone is the main hormone that controls sex drive in men and women.

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 18/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

This is triggered by intense exercise, moderate amounts of protein, and good quality of
sleep. BUT you also have to look into the flip side of what can counter this hormone, not
just into stimulating it.

Causes:

Poor Sleep
High Estrogen
High Insulin

Remedies:

DIM Supplement Estrogen Support

LOW VITAMIN D LEVELS

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Low Bile

Explanation:

There are several potential causes of vitamin D deficiencies.

Lack of sunlight.
Stress – high cortisol can deplete the vitamin D reserve.
Lack of bile, due to bile breaking down fat soluble vitamins.

*MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS TAKE VITAMIN K2 WITH VITAMIN D3 - SINCE THEY WORK
TOGETHER. IF YOU ONLY TAKE D3, YOU WILL INCREASE YOUR BLOOD CALCIUM
LEVELS. VITAMIN K2 WORKS WITH D3 TO TRANSPORT THE CALCIUM INTO THE
BONES AND OUT OF THE ARTERIES.

Diet:

The best foods for you are foods high in vitamin D: cod liver oil, dairy from grass-fed
animals, and egg yolks. Consider the sun as your vitamin D provider, too.

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 19/33

But the gallbladder is vital in helping you extract vitamin D from your food. If you do not
have a gallbladder or have a sluggish gallbladder, then adding some bile salts to the diet
can greatly help in absorption.

Causes:

Low Bile
Low Vitamin D
Low Vitamin K2

MID-BACK PAIN OR TIGHTNESS

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Low Bile

Explanation:

You would think that mid-back is simply some pain that came from an injury, but what if
there was no injury? There can be two sources. First, the heart and the other is digestion
(stomach).

A tired heart can be caused by adrenal fatigue.

Check for potential heart problems. It could be a tired heart due to a lack of sleep. As
the heart works harder, it anchors to the breastbone and back causing tension in the
mid-back or in the front chest area.

If the person is a smoker and then abruptly stopped smoking, many times, they end up
with heart problems. The adrenals are so used to this drug nicotine and they become
dependent on it. Stopping it then creates weakness. Nicotine relaxes the coronary
https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 20/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

artery. If this is the case, they need to support the adrenals with cortisol support.

But the heart problem can come from many other causes.

If digestion is involved, simply add more acid such as Apple Cider Vinegar before meals
to help the stomach digest foods, and the pain should go away.

Diet:

The eating plan: eat healthy and no junk food as both the stomach and heart do respond
positively to healthy foods. So many people, after going to the doctor and taking drugs,
fail to get a good eating plan. The heart responds to nutrition faster than other organs.
The stomach responds fast, too.

Causes:

Low Stomach Acid

Low Bile
Weak Heart
Inflammation

Remedies:

Gallbladder Formula
Magnesium Glycinate

MUSCLE CRAMPS (ESP. AT NIGHT)

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Low Potassium

Explanation:

There are several causes of muscle cramps. Take a look at this list, which ranks the
causes from most common to least common:

*Side effects from medication.

Steroids (for asthma), high blood pressure meds, diuretics, and cholesterol meds
(statins) are the culprits.

*Too little calcium. This includes having low stomach acid (which prevents calcium
absorption). It takes an acidic stomach to absorb minerals. The older you are, the less
stomach acid you have. This includes people taking antacids, which destroy the ability
to absorb calcium.

Someone taking calcium carbonate (rocks) without taking an acid at the same time can
lead to insufficient calcium absorption in the body.

It includes people taking calcium for bone loss (usually the wrong kind).

*Vitamin D deficiency, which reduces the absorption of calcium.

If someone is low in fats (omega-3, fish oils, butter), he/she could also be low in Vitamin
K2, which directs calcium to where it should be going. This results in calcium getting
stuck in the soft tissues.

Essential fatty acids (from cod liver oils), Vitamin D3, and vitamin K2 all transport
calcium and without them, the person will have calcium deposited in the tissues,
causing cramps, too.

*Magnesium deficiency. This magnifies the excess calcium problem. Magnesium

causes relaxation of muscles. Leafy greens have lots of magnesium; dairy products
have lots of calcium. But if the digestive system is damaged, the ability to absorb
minerals will be impaired. Remember that bile salts are also needed to absorb the fat-
soluble vitamins that transport calcium.

*Potassium deficiency. This is usually because the person is not eating enough
vegetables. We need 7-10 cups each day. Potassium controls both nerve and muscle
functions. Suspect a potassium deficiency if the person doesn’t eat veggies or if they
are on diuretics, are taking diabetes meds or have high cortisol (or taking cortisol
meds). In rare cases, a potassium excess can cause cramps – in kidney disease (like in
kidney dialysis).

*Sodium may also be deficient. And this could cause cramping but it would be rare.

**One point on calf tenderness: This is a vitamin B1 deficiency, so you need to

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 22/33

differentiate between a cramp and tenderness. Also a vitamin B1 deficiency can cause
restless legs. Lactic acid builds up in the legs IF there is low B1. Low B1 comes from
stress and eating sugar and refined grains. Another interesting note is that if the
adrenals are stressed and the person climbs stairs, their legs will get heavy.

Diet:

The diet depends on the cause:

SIDE-EFFECTS FROM MEDS

*Go to the doctor to discuss side effects of meds.

TOO MUCH CALCIUM

*Stop taking calcium and increase vitamin D3, K2, and magnesium.

TOO LITTLE MAGNESIUM

*Take magnesium supplements. Also, increase your intake of leafy greens.

TOO LITTLE POTASSIUM

*The best way to increase this mineral is to consume 7-10 cups of salad and other
veggies.

TOO LITTLE SODIUM

*Add more sea salt.

Causes:

Low Potassium
Low Magnesium
Low Calcium

OUT OF BREATH WHEN CLIMBING STAIRS

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Adrenal Fatigue

Explanation:

If you have adrenal fatigue, any climbing you do on an incline can cause the body to run
out of oxygen quickly. Your legs can also get fatigued fast. This includes the use of
stairmaster or when just climbing stairs.

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 24/33

Another great test for adrenal strength is the ability to hold your breath for a period of
time. The weaker the adrenal, the less you can hold your breath. This is why climbing
inclines adds more stress and why oxygen runs out fast. Some people with adrenal
fatigue can’t last more than 15 seconds of climbing stairs.

Vitamins and minerals are essential for managing lung function, promoting a healthy
inflammatory response muscle function, and heart health. If you are deficient in vital
nutrients, you can have a difficult time catching your breath. The main vitamin to pay
attention to is B1. One of the main effects of a B1 deficiency is that you find you have
breathing problems.

Diet:

Get on the adrenal eating plan and reduce your stress. Get a good night's sleep and only
do walking on a flat surface; no hills.

Take vitamins B1 (from nutritional yeast and benfotiamine (fat-soluble B1)), B7, C, D, E,
and calcium.

Adrenal Fatigue

STUBBORN WEIGHT

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: High Insulin

Explanation:

Hormonally, there are 3 hormones that must be lowered: (1) insulin, (2) cortisol, and (3)
estrogen.

The best principle to use on stubborn weight is to get healthy first. This speeds up the
metabolism and goes beyond just weight loss. What I mean by getting healthy is to do
things to get your sleep, energy, digestion, stress tolerance and cravings improved
instead of taking meds to camouflage your symptoms.

problem is to sign up for the membership site. Here, you will find 200+ videos to address
every possible situation you will run into.

Diet:

I would start with the most common problem – high insulin. Get on the diet that
addresses that and it will help you bust through that set point. Insulin resistance keeps
you at a certain weight.

High Estrogen
High Insulin
Adrenal Fatigue

There are several reasons why you crave sugar:

(1) your blood sugar level is off balance, making your insulin levels too high or usually
too low (insulin resistance). Extra insulin brings down the blood sugar into a lower range
(called hypoglycemia). Your body will then look for sugar, and you will think about it
more than usual and even dream about it.

(2) High cortisol from stress will cause your body to run on sugar. High cortisol will
make you crave sugar even if you are having a good diet. High cortisol levels result in
the conversion of muscle protein into carbohydrates in the liver. This then spikes insulin.

(3) Your liver is for some reason not storing sugar effectively (Stored sugar is called
glycogen.) because it is either fatty or damaged (cirrhosis). This would cause you to
have high sugar levels in the morning upon waking up, and it could cause you to wake
up in the middle of the night due to sugar level fluctuations.

It takes a lot of potassium to store sugar and without it, you will have lower levels of
stored sugar. The goal is to have a good sugar storage system so you can last longer
between meals and not crave foods or be hungry. To do this, you need 4700mg of
potassium daily, which equals to 7-10 cups of vegetables per day.

Diet:

There are two things that can be done to eliminate sugar from your diet. Firstly, it is to
consume 7-10 cups of vegetables each day. This will raise your potassium levels and
cause your body to store sugar (It takes potassium to store sugar.). Secondly, there
should be no more snacks between meals. Any time you eat, you raise insulin, so
reducing the frequency will lower insulin and your cravings will go away.

Causes:

Insulin Resistance
Low Blood Sugars

TAKES TOO LONG TO RECOVER FROM EXERCISE

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Adrenal Fatigue

Explanation:

Usually, the adrenals are fatigued when a person can’t recover. The part of the nervous
system responsible for recovery is the parasympathetic (PS) system. The PS nervous
system gets shut down when the fight or flight system is in overdrive (stress mode).
Adrenal Stress can help with this one.

There is another condition called lactic acidosis, which can occur when someone is
experiencing poor recovery. When the body holds onto excess lactic acid, muscles get
tired really quick. This is most likely caused by weak adrenals. Vitamin B1 (from
Nutritional Yeast) and omega-3 fatty acids will help improve this condition.

But then, the worse the adrenals are, the poorer the sleep, and the less the person can
recover. You should adjust your exercise intensity based on your recovery ability to avoid
overtraining.

Sleep is the most important activity in cases where there is poor recovery.

Diet:

The muscles and the glands need lots of electrolytes for recovery. You can get them
from vegetables and sea salt. B vitamins are also important because of how they
remove excess lactic acid. Take Nutritional Yeast and get lots of sleep.

Causes:

Adrenal Fatigue

WAKES UP EXHAUSTED

Nutritional recommendation in aid of good health: Adrenal (Flight or

Fight Mode)

Explanation:

Difficulty getting out of bed in the morning could come from a poor quality of sleep,
which is most commonly due to adrenal fatigue.

If the adrenals are stressed, stress hormones (cortisol) are elevated, which prevent deep
rejuvenated sleep. Personally, I had this problem of never feeling rested for years. It
would take me until late morning to feel awake. However, now I can wake up at 5:30 am
fully awake and ready to go. So it is possible to turn things around. Normally, you should
wake up in the early morning, go all day feeling bright and energetic, and then at night,
turn off and go right ahead to sleep.

But with adrenal fatigue, you never get into deep restful sleep and never reach your peak
during the day. So everything is backwards; you can’t sleep at night and can’t wake up
during day – sucks!!!

Many adrenal body types are night owls but this is not normal. When you get your

https://www.drberg.com/evaluation/result?token=24328d08f0a94d389076c08332ecfef2 29/33
8/19/24, 4:39 PM Get healthy | lose weight fast | healthy weight loss is fast | quickly lose fat weight with Dr. Berg

adrenals out of fight or flight, you will be able to drift off to sleep at 10-10:30 pm and
sleep for 7-8 hours, and then wake up early in the morning.

Diet:

The eating plan for this symptom must include lots of potassium and magnesium. We’re
right back to those vegetables again, right? Are you starting to see the connection?

Causes:

Adrenal (Flight or Fight Mode)

Remedies:

Adrenal & Cortisol Support
