You’ve Been Lied To…

Some doctors give the worst diet advice! In this video, we’ll discuss the dangerous health advice that out-of-touch doctors still give their patients. Avoid these health tips and find out what to do instead.

The worst health advice:

1. People can get all their nutrition from food.
Getting enough nutrients such as vitamin D, potassium, and magnesium from food is almost impossible. Many people consume refined carbs and sugar, which deplete them of vital nutrients. Supplements are often the only way to compensate.

2. Take more calcium to prevent osteoporosis.
Normal blood calcium levels do not prevent bone loss. Osteoporosis usually occurs when you age and hormones like estrogen and testosterone decrease.

3. Always use sunblock.
Sunblock became very popular when sun exposure was linked to cancer. But you need sun to get enough vitamin D, which is vital for your immune system.

4. Snack frequently to avoid overeating.
Snacking raises insulin, creating a high blood sugar situation. This keeps you hungry and will not prevent overeating.

5. Sugar in moderation is fine.
Sugar and carb consumption, even in moderation, stops you from tapping into your fat reserve.

6. Avoid saturated fats.
Saturated fat does not clog your arteries. High-carb diets create a much more significant risk for heart problems.

7. Whole grains are heart-healthy.
Whole grains trigger blood sugar. Most products that contain whole grains also contain refined grains and fillers like maltodextrin and modified food starch. Whole grains contain phytates, which block the absorption of key nutrients, and gluten, which irritates the gut.

8. Avoid red meat
Grass-fed, grass-finished red meat is the healthiest food you can eat!

9. Our brains need sugar and carbs.
Your brain can also run on ketones, which will prevent brain fog and increase cognitive function.

10. Restrict salt for high blood pressure.
Rather than avoiding salt, focus on eliminating junk food from the diet and increasing vitamin D and potassium.

11. All calories are equal.
The body does not treat all calories equally. Instead of creating a calorie deficit to lose weight, create a carbohydrate calorie deficit. This forces the body to burn fat as an alternative fuel source.

    Man doing the lords work. I found this channel after I found out my A1c was 6.1. In December. Started cutting out carbs and sugar. While intermittent fasting.

    My brain fog has gone down and I am recalling information a bit better. I also lost the stubborn belly fat that i struggled with for years to get rid of.

    So grateful for everything thing he does.

      Same here but there are a couple of other doctors in addition to Dr. Berg. It makes me so mad that I had to go to YouTube to improve my health instead of an appointment every 6 months from my PCP.

    • @ShinNewbie on February 4, 2025 at 12:19 pm

      @ I agree! I am still trying to see a doctor about it. When I asked they were like just diet and exercise. I am like okay can you be a little more specific. I spend like on average 90 minutes at the gym 5 days a week. I was eating low calorie foods.

      I always thought it was just calories in vs calories out and avoiding sugary drinks and you would be fine. I had no idea carbs were that basically just as bad.

      @ its considered pre-diabetes so i would say no.

      A1C results
      The following ranges are used to diagnose prediabetes and diabetes: Normal: below 5.7% Prediabetes: 5.7% to 6.4% Diabetes: 6.5% or above.

I left that doctor in 2020 and now at my goal weight and feel amazing and I did this by keto and fasting. Such a disgrace what the medical industry has turned into.

      No, the medical industry is the same as it always has been. Allopathic medicine is medical care or disease management as it’s called. It is not health care. You can get a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition, 1 or more Masters of Science in Nutrition, and 1 or more Ph.D’s of Science in Nutrition.
      Medical doctors don’t get a unit in nutrition.

      Insurance does cover Vitamin D, they are available in prescription form- BUT- many doctors still aren’t educated on all the deep nutritional aspects such as these dr. Berg speaks on. My cousin was severely low on D- she was Prescribed (paid by her Insurance) 50,000 IU once a week- But! D2 form, not D3 so she got worse!!! The D2 did nothing for a person already so severely depleted in D. … so- be sure to do your research

    If you grew up on a farm it’s clear as day on the soil. We no longer farm but we added the supplements to the dirt where grass was grown for the cattle. Also the hayfields were supplied with the nutritional value to raise the cattle during winter months. It breaks my heart to see what the fields and cattle look like today.

And huge numbers of earth worms:) We grow as much veggies as we can with limited sunlight due to huge canopies of oak trees.
