Just recently tried it and I can say that it curbs the hell outta my cravings and appetite!

My medical doctor here in Canada refused to talk about Berberine. He would rather have me take a chemical than a natural supplement. I was on Ozempic for 9 months until I told my doctor I wasn't going to to take it anymore. I regained half the weight and my blood sugar skyrocketed. Now I'm on the carnivore diet, have lost 10 pounds in a week and my blood sugar is at 5.0. Goes to show you that you really need to be your own health advocate. I'm still on metformin but I'm going to ditch that as well once I go for my check up and start back on Berberine.

I started berberine 3 months ago...i have blood sugar highs etc..heard it may help with weight.. have had no side effects, less of an appetite idk about weight but my clothes are a bit looser...i seem to be less moody... that's a big one.. i added other minerals and some vitamins i am depleted in. And 3 days ago am adding in coconut oil pills and fish oil pills ..i am trying to help blood sugar, drop weight and possibly help my bipolar 2 feel better i must say

My dad told me about berberine and how it helps his diabetes. I was curious on what it was and researched it. I learned that I was prediabetic and I knew i needed to lose a significant amount of weight. Its been about two weeks since ive been taking it. I definitely dont feel as hungry. First week i did get indigestion, bloating and a little bit of nausea but now they are all gone. Thank you for this information

I turned 58 and my body went wacky and I gained 50 pounds in one year, and I had changed NOTHING of my good organic foods, and exercise that worked for 20 years. Then all these issues surfaced at 59 to 61. I went Keto in 2018 as soon as I gained the weight, and it wasn't enough but a good practice, got me off the small amount of snacking I did. Then I had to go Ketovore because I wasn't losing weight and then a year ago went CARNIVORE. Carnivore HEALED ALL CRAVINGS, its amazing In these few years, i had high blood pressure as soon as my weight increased, I have insulin resistance and some breast issues, all in four years. I have been healing my other three bodies since the late 80s and started on my last and 4th body (the physical) in 2018. Now i am on the other side of TOTAL ENERGY LOSS 3 years ago... carnivore is working, and last month I started taking a half a pill of Berberine, until i can get down in my weight a bit more to get off my Blood Pressure medications (I am on the lowest dose). I have hope this year after losing 40 pounds with carnivore.

Berberine, wonderful. I have only used the Thorne brand. I just trust their product. Lost weight quickly and movements were much better.

Just started Berberine this morning, not for weight loss but for cholesterol issues . I intermittent fast for dropping triglycerides and thought this could help me fight sugar cravings .

[myway]

My nutritionist/dietitian told me about this 3 years ago...but did not try it. I'm ready now to try it.

[darooh]

At the beginning of every year due to premiums Januvia skyrockets to over $550 for one month. I switch to Berberine. I told my doctor. I am now at 6.4. Regarding weightloss have not noticed any difference. But sugar yes.

[roschamac]

Berberine is fantastic, along with intermittent fasting i lost 16 kg and kept it off.

[sderk]

Finally our questions answered and more.. great video with all the information.🙌🏼

Just subscribed. My dr told me I have metabolic syndrome and subscribed wegovie. Not taking it but started with Berberine. My second day and so far so good regarding stomach issues. I have all the mid age cursors, mid section weigh gain, disturb sleep, brain fog, fatigue, always hungry and stress. Praying this work in addition to my continuous exercise and whole food diet.

Thank you. I have been taking Berberine for a while. I have struggled with gut issues my entire life. I started slow. Once a day/morning/before breakfast/ 500mg/with a tiny amount of coconut oil for about 2 week. Then increased to 2xday for 2 weeks before breakfast/again before lunch/and now I am taking it 3xday before each meal. This is the first time I can ever remember not being constipated in my entire life.

Weight loss? I wasn't overweight when I started, so what I noticed was my gut felt better. My appetite is normal and has been, but I feel satisfied after eating. I never get sugar cravings, although I don't consume much and what I do consume is mainly from fruit.

I am a senior, I walk 60 minutes/day broken up into 3 sessions. I do not take any prescription drugs and haven't for years. To be honest I haven't even seen a doctor in over 8 years. Had a falling out which got ugly. So I never went back. This is in no way a recommendation. In my case I had to protect myself from someone very evil. That being said I am very satisfied with my Berberine journey. And thank you again for all this great information.

I have been taking some, but 1/2 the recommended dose. I think it has benefited me with some fat loss and better mood. I sure do notice that when I eat too much sugar, it affects me in many negative ways. I wish I didn't love to bake and eat goodies, but I just modify as much as I can.
Thank you for the information here😊

I took ozempic for 3 months in 2023. I stopped because of the GI discomfort. I started berberine 2 weeks ago following research and its really good. I feel exactly as i did on ozempic but without GI issues. My cravings are curbed! I take it with pomegranate supplement. I actually eat healthier as well.

My doctor recently all but dismissed my concerns of candida. Thank you so much for this video.
