Using DIM for High Androgens to Help with Facial Hair, Cystic Acne, and Alopecia - Dr. Berg

In this video, Dr. Berg talks about DIM, estrogen, and androgen. DIM is a super concentrated type of cruciferous vegetable extract. This phytonutrient concentrate helps support healthy estrogen levels and healthy androgen levels. It can act as an aromatase inhibitor.
Using DIM can help you balance your androgens because it acts as an androgen antagonist (antiandrogen).

ANDROGEN EXCESS:
-Facial hair
-Oily skin
-Hair loss (alopecia)
-Cystic Acne
-Prostate

I want to share my experience. I am a 45 year old woman who has suffered from acne since she was 15 years old. I had tried countless treatments and nothing had eliminated the acne, after modifying my eating habits (Atkins, Paleo, only organic foods and now Keto (with fasting), my problem improved, but it had not been eliminated. Dr. Berg talked about DIM, I started taking it (about 2 months ago) and I had never seen my face without acne, I just can not believe it, thanks Dr Berg for sharing your knowledge.

I feel the video was rushed. I think there could have been a lot more information added, including what DIM is short for...Diindolylmethane. As someone who has PCOS, taking a DIM supplement has been a huge help for me. It has helped me have a regular, 28 day menstrual cycle for the first time in my life. It has also helped with hair loss and cystic acne.

I’ve been taking DIM less than one month, and my cycle was DRASTICALLY less severe that usual. I’ve had three children and I typically have 7 day long very heavy cycles, changing products hourly or even more frequently, even using the “super” or ultra products. This most recent cycle was incredibly light compared to previous cycles... no stress about leaving the house unprepared, no stress about bringing a change of clothes, etc., and aftee about 4 days it’s nearly finished. Incredible. My cystic acne has all but cleared up as well... now it’s just random blackheads, which is fine with me. So thankful to have found your channel, Dr. Berg. And so thankful you make your wealth of knowledge available for free!

I think we need more videos on this subject, Dr. Berg!! 🙂

[shevatepallavid]

Please make a video dedicated on hirsutism

I just want to say that DIM ended up getting rid of my stubborn acne. My left cheek/jaw had pimples that were not going away, and after a month of taking the supplement it cleared. My skin is still oily, I still have large pores and dark spots, but I haven't been too successful in sticking to the keto diet. However, I have started consuming vegetables with most of my meals. I am confident based on all the information that I have learned from you, that when I start doing keto correctly and not eating too much, I will see improvements. I also plan on using Vitamin E as you recommended for poc marks and scarring.

Dr berg has helped me with so much in my life already. I came across this video and the pmdd one. I’ve ordered everything he said to take. I am going to write an update later on. But if what he says does cure a lot of the problems mentioned between estrogen dom and pmdd, I will be forever grateful

Question: Do I take DIM for the rest of my life. My daughter also has facial hair and she is young.

[jennyh.]

I used to sweat almost every night during my sleep and I used to have acne on my neck and jawline and now that I have been taking DIM supplements I do not sweat at night anymore and all of my acne that was on my neck and jawline are gone. This supplement is amazing!

[MonkeyTookMySpoon]

I’ve been taking it! I definitely feel like it’s helping my pcos symptoms!!

[ladym]

Was looking forward to watching this video as i am thinking of purchasing DIM, but its too short of a video. Please can you do a longer more in depth video Dr Berg.

[BRathjens]

I'm going to look to buy DIM. I'm a 66 woman with acne & oil skin. OMG this could be the cure!

[skyblue]

I have PCOS and a lot of excessive body hair everywhere (hirsutism). However my testosterone levels showed as normal. Could you do a more detailed video on androgens as there's perhaps misleading information that high testosterone is the primary cause of hirsutism in women with PCOS?

[christinabernat]

I seriously think u r an angel come here in human form Dr. B.

Can you please discuss how people whose bodies are acne and oily skin prone process or don't process any hydrogenated fats they may have consumed knowingly or unknowingly? What type of acne or complexion/skin issue(s) will result?? Will they be harder to deal with than other acne?

[conniehernandez]

Omg i feel like I’m already on so many supplements 🤦🏽‍♀️

[Inanothertimeandspace]

This supplement is not a joke. It did not reduce my androgens, but did further reduce my estrogens. This upset the balance in my body even more, and the result was a flare in ovarian cysts. One was so large that it twisted and I needed emergency surgery. I almost lost my only remaining ovary. Be careful with this stuff.

[go_off_Sis]

Your voice is so soothing and your disposition overall is very welcoming...I believe everything that you say!

[Fit-qjuy]

Does DIM cause hair loss or hair thinning?

[livinoutdestiny]

Can you talk more on the differences between DIM & the synthetic hormone Spironolactone? My doctor put me on Spironolactone & Amlodipine to help lower my bp, but I've noticed alot of side effects from taking it like spotting between cycles & weight gain. Wondering if I should take DIM instead?

[rosedandaro]

Dr Berg please give us a more complete info about DIM and menopause. Tks.
