Simple choices could be the reason why you’re not healthy. These unhealthy habits can be especially problematic if you’re over 50.

1. Don’t take health advice from inexperienced people.
2. Don’t be too quick to accept a diagnosis.
3. Avoid solutions that create more problems.
4. Avoid excessive stress.

The most important nutrient for people over 50 is vitamin D. Vitamin D influences 10% of your genes. You need at least 10,000 IU of vitamin D or more to produce a therapeutic effect. Doctors worldwide are using vitamin D3 for many health concerns, including autoimmune diseases, eye problems, and fibroids.

Magnesium, zinc, and vitamin D work together in a synergistic relationship. Magnesium is vital for heart health and energy. Avoid calcium and iron supplements as you age. It’s very difficult to rid the body of excess iron.

You don’t need to avoid salt! Opt for sea salt and make sure you’re getting plenty of potassium. Sodium deficiency can cause increased cortisol levels, which can interfere with sleep.

Cholesterol is an essential building block of sex hormones, so you must get enough after menopause. Cholesterol is essential for our brain, bile salts, and other hormones. Butter, eggs, dairy, and shellfish are the best dietary sources of cholesterol.

Focus on removing carbs from the diet and prioritizing quality protein. Grass-fed beef or lamb is the best source of protein.

Frequent eating stimulates insulin, which is the root cause of many chronic illnesses, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and a fatty liver.

Autoimmune diseases are related to low vitamin D and the microbes, viruses, and other pathogens that downgrade the vitamin D receptor. After severe stress or shock, your immune system becomes suppressed, leaving you vulnerable to autoimmune disease.

It’s vital to understand the importance of the microbiome as an organ, especially when you’re over 50. When you take an antibiotic, your microbes don’t always return. Gut health supports immune function, neurotransmitter production, mood, cognitive function, digestion, nutrient production, sleep, and even protects us against cancer.

I had a stressful job. I was driving 3 hours a day. I was my husband's caretaker, too. It caught up with me and i developed diverticulitis, spondylitis, vertigo. I landed in the hospital. It took a lot of life changes and a couple of years to detox. Thank you for teaching me what my Dr wouldn't. Your videos last longer than my dr visits.

[Pa-welw]

I was misdiagnosed at the hospital. I told them I disagreed with their decision but they wouldn’t listen. After 2 treatments, I didn’t need, they announced they were wrong, didn’t know what was wrong and were going to experiment more! I ended up being escorted out of the hospital by security because I was livid at one doctor who continually hurt me. Stress from the medical system galore.

He mentioned stress, by far the worst thing that impacts our health.We can literally make ourselves sick if we don’t know how to relax!

I voted for Dr. Berg as an RFK MAHA consultant group. Dr. Berg helps people hear what their doctor WILL NOT tell them.

Dance hard
Sing loud
Sleep soundly
Eat healthy heartily
But stop eating all the time
Love strongly
Smile broadly
Hug warmly
Share gladly
Walk often
Walk farther than you ever have
*Laugh*
Stay busy but recreate too.
Sometimes do nothing! Just lay out and lounge
Do your hobbies
Learn to do something new
Change your own car oil
Do things you like
Better yet, Do things you love

LISTEN TO DR. BERG!😊

I was born and raised in Los Angeles, I grew to hate California. I left at the age of 42, 10 years later I live in the country in the South and am much happier and less stressed out.

Well, I turned 50 this year, and for the last five years, I have worked at Amazon without a day on sick leave. I have taken magnesium with zinc for the last 3-4 years, supplement Vit D in the autumn and winter, I don't use a lot of salt and am involved in physical activities. Way to go!

I went to a doctor for help weening off of the pain medicines they had put me on for rheumatoid arthritis. He made the assumption, despite what I was telling him, that I was after more pain medicines. There is the problem. Doctors look at you and assume. They make appearance-based assumptions on you, and THEY DO NOT LISTEN! So, I fired that doctor. Next, I did research. I went into meditation, healthy eating, and walked a lot. As a result, I got off the pain medicines and my rheumatoid cleared up. I cut back on nearly all my medicines. In the end, you know your body. You are your best doctor. Healthy lifestyle and exercise are the best medicine. Popping pills is the wrong direction. Doctors should be there to help in emergencies. They should not be pill distributers.
