00:53 🔄 Insulin is a key hormone for fat storage; lowering insulin is crucial for effective fat burning.
02:30 🍽 Fiber-rich foods, like green vegetables, have minimal impact on insulin; aim for less than 50g of carbs per day.
03:10 🚫 Seed oils, MSG, and frequent eating can elevate insulin levels; be cautious about restaurant meals.
04:21 🌸 Estrogen can contribute to weight gain; avoid estrogen-mimicking substances and opt for organic choices.
04:33 ⚖ Cortisol, the stress hormone, directs fat to the midsection; manage stress, consider vitamin D, and engage in physical activities.
06:08 🍎 To lower insulin, reduce carbs, practice intermittent fasting, include apple cider vinegar, berberine, and cinnamon in your routine.
07:15 🏋 Growth hormone and IGF-1 aid fat burning; prioritize intense exercise, good sleep, moderate protein, and intermittent fasting.
07:55 🥩 Zinc and cholesterol-rich foods support testosterone production; low saturated fat diets may affect testosterone levels.
08:22 💪 Glucagon, a fat-burning hormone, is triggered by moderate protein intake and intense exercise.
08:36 🏃 Adrenaline, boosted through exercise, aids fat burning and serves as a neurotransmitter.
09:03 🦋 Thyroid hormones, specifically T3, contribute to fat burning; address issues like fatty liver, kidney problems, iodine or selenium deficiency, and estrogen dominance.
09:18 🏋‍♂ Exercise contributes about 15% to weight loss but is crucial for stress reduction and improved sleep.

Love learning more from your insightful videos, Dr Berg. Also love the fact that you refer to sources and provide scientific evidence. You're right that a healthy diet, IF and good habits make a difference and has a good impact in our health. Turning off the TV news, avoiding toxic people, going out for a walk and spending some time in nature help significantly. Thank you so much for your continuous advice 🙏🏻

Ive been following dr bergs advice for 5+ years now and with my culture already knowing about the importance of fasting ive had the luck to be born into this life style, ive spent the past years trying to spread the word but it breaks my heart so when many would still rather believe in old or modern misinformation. I try and fail but i keep going Because i know ill find those few willing to listen

[marianl]

Good to know about the Cortisol and Insulin! I have lost weight doing Keto with intermittent fasting which I thought would be almost impossible at 70 years of age! You get to the bottom line faster than any book I've ever read regarding the key issues of health, and how to remedy the issues that keep you from from being healthy! God bless you

[sabinush]

Thank you Dr Berg for all the indications!

[PostalXD]

I lost 85 lb in 4 months so far. Just by changing diet, I have still not gotten myself to workout. Goal is 220lb over the 12 months total

[gruniach]

Thank doc. You always motivate me to take better care of myself and my family

Thank you, Dr.Berg, for presenting all of this important information over the years in an increasingly simplified manner, so that I can understand and follow the information better 😅 Things just keep making MORE sense every time you make a new video. ♥️

[scottgood]

What a great video! So much information, to the point, inside 10 minutes. You can't get this anywhere else. I forward these videos to my patients on a daily basis. Thank you, Dr. Berg

[DabblinDawn]

Thanks for the reminder. Please make a video on how progesterone is affected by Keto OMAD in post menopausal women. I lost 65lbs and about 50% of my hair at around the three months mark on Keto OMAD. I’ve been on keto IF for 23 months and while some of it has grown back, it is still thin. I even started dabbling at wearing wigs to cover it. Thanks, Dr. Berg.

[AprilSeamand-xeug]

[helpinyerdasellavon]

Great information, Dr Berg. It's true. Thank you so much for your dedication and helpful advice 💕

[MH-yhrz]

44-year-old woman, perimenopausal. I stalled on keto after doing it for over 5 years. Then I switched to carnivore and eliminated all dairy. Nothing happened for 3 weeks. Then the fat just started melting off. Went from 139 to 125 in 4 months, not doing much exercise. Very happy with carnivore results.

[DebrajJean]

Another great video! Thank you Dr Berg! ❤
