The root cause of over 80% of chronic illnesses is insulin resistance. Fasting can help fix this problem. Fasting triggers survival genes and allows your body to use fat and ketones for energy. It takes about 3 days to get into ketosis.

When fasting, don’t eat if you’re not hungry. It’s important to let your body tell you how long to fast. Fasting makes your cells more sensitive to insulin and does not raise cortisol levels.

There are 2 types of fasting: water fasting, which means no food, and dry fasting, which means you don’t consume food or water.

Dry fasting can be even more beneficial because you trigger dehydration genes that can enhance weight loss. Fat can be converted into water for hydration while fasting. Dry fasting benefits also include enhanced autophagy and more detoxification in the liver.

If you’re fasting and you notice your hair is falling out or you lose your cycle, you might not be getting enough protein. Grass-fed red meat is the best source. It provides amino acids, trace minerals, B vitamins, and more.

Ensure you’re getting enough sea salt and plenty of sleep. Magnesium and zinc are also essential. You need about 400 mg of magnesium and 50 mg of zinc.

I combined keto and fasting 10 months ago. 60 lbs gone. I followed Fast Like a Girl. Listen to Dr. Jason Fung and also you Dr. Berg!

Thank you Dr. Berg! My husband [ 72] and I [76] have been following your intermittent fasting for several months now ~ eating our first meal around 11am and a second meal around 3:30pm ~ and on Wednesdays we eat one meal at 11am and fast for 24 hours ~ we have loved this schedule because it fits right into our lifestyle. You are our doctor, and we love you!!! Thanks for all you do for humanity!

I first started healthy keto and IF just over 3 years ago after watching some of your videos. I'm 76 now and feel wonderful! I recently started dry fasting after watching one of your videos; I watch them every day. Since I started dry fasting I've noticed some very positive changes on top of all the benefits I had previously. Your suggestions really work so I want to thank you for all your hard work and research.

So, I gained a lot of weight after being prescribed the wrong depression meds. This was in 2020.
I have been watching your videos and learnt to fast the proper way in 2024. 2024, I have lost the excess weight and I have fixed my self esteem for good.
Also, those wrong meds screwed my pancreas it seems - i developed pre-diabetes. I couldn't stop eating - it made my stress eating worse and gained God knows how many kgs.

Today, I'm happy to keep my weight good and look how I want to look. And i feel super light and have lots of energy too. Fasting fixed a lot of my issues. I'll not stop fasting. I'll keep it going.

Shout out to Dr. Eric Berg 😎

I lost 14 kgs of body weight and cured my high blood pressure just by IF 18: 6, about 3 years ago. I am now 64 and I feel more energized than when I was 40 something ... Amazing. Thanks to you! 🙏

I've been fasting + keto for only a month now. Here are some results:
-Much more energy, particularly in the morning
-Better cognition (I'm studying and reading like never before)
-Better digestion
-Much lower stress and anxiety
-Less arrythmia and palpitations
-Less tiredness, weakness and nerve related issues
-I didn't had weight issues, but I clearly see that I'm losing fat (specially belly fat)
-Less inflammation and backpain issues

I think I'll continue doing it indefinitely

I'm so glad you're mentioning fasting for women and minding the menstrual cycle! I had seen an older video of yours where you said it's the same for men and women. I really respect you for updating that info now

Imagine if everyone did everything right all the time, like wake up early go for a walk/run/exercise, read for a1 hour, eat well everyday, dont drink, dont smoke, sleep 7-8hours, have great relationships etc n industries wouldnt even exist

I’ve done intermittent fasting and it has fixed many of my problems that I’ve developed as a result of getting Covid twice …such as hypertension, heart flutter, brain fog, etcc…..it was tough at first to fast for 16+ hours but over time, you will notice the tremendous benefits

[sparkle]

I appreciate you Dr. Eric for confirming what I know but can never break it down like you.
Fasting is truly the secret for weight-loss, not a weight loss drug.

[EdgarGonzalez-qi]

I believe fasting dose work. Haven't taken insulin for 3.5 years now.

[werwolli]

Glad you dare openly talk about stuff like this, thanks for the Great video

And this is what they're afraid of us knowing. Healing ourselves without spending a penny, just as it's meant to be.

Keto has been great for me especially since I got my lab results back, better mental clarity, feeling like flying to the moon leaving the doctor office.
LDL cholesterol 52
My LDL always was in the 200's
I had stopped taking my cholesterol medication the first part of this year and I started taking vitamin E 2 times a day and fish oil 4 times a day, using olive oils on my salad 7 days a week...I started walking more than usual was eating more seeds and pistachios nuts, I took Dr.berg advice on spouted sunflower seeds, pumpkin Seeds, avocados and more.

I did 21 days of water fasting in 2023 per Dr. Thomas Seyfreid's protocol to clear large tumors in my neck. Still healthy but only eat whole organic foods and no restuarant food.

I’ve been IF for over 2 years now and the biggest mistake i did in the beginning was long fasts at the end of my cycle. Progesterone tanks and affects us badly. Please ease off for two weeks at the end of your cycle ladies 🙏🏻 .
