BOOK LINK: FAST LIKE A GIRL (Dr. Mindy Pelz):
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.

Fast like a girl….by Mindy Perez?
@@shelliallibhai2114 thank you. Has changed my life!
Same although I ate ketogenic or ketobiotic meaning lots and lots of vegetables, especially leafy greens before the good fats and proteins. Also added Dr Mark Hyman to this list of excellent Functional Medicine doctors committed to up-to-date health education through nutrition, time restricted eating, good quality sleep, appropriate exercise like walking and resistence training, mental and emotional health through connection, and aging with health and quality of life! So grateful to these doctors for empowering us!
You can do fasting every day. Eat in an 8 hour eating window.
I believe fasting dose work. Haven’t taken insulin for 3.5 years now.
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 😎
some of these depression medications have side effects that can case DIABETES after taking it only several times and sudden unexplained death… i wont say this is on purpose but i wont say it isnt ! good for you for reading the lable and tossing the poison
I agree with you ..I picked up a stack of weight…plus pcos since I was young..
I told my psychiatrist…she gave me metformin..
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’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 🙏🏻 .
And this is what they’re afraid of us knowing. Healing ourselves without spending a penny, just as it’s meant to be.
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.
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! 🙏
by fasting?
after 17 years my edema in my feet is gone , BP is much better , Was 300 lbs now 260 all thanks to dr berg. Amen
I congratulate you and I’m very proud of you for you accomplishing this goal. And keep going you can do it and also accomplish anything you want to do and put your mind to do it. 😊. Love . Leslie.❤😊😊😊
Good for you.
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 etc…..Many industries wouldnt even exist
Yes. For sure. And , this country would be a much better place to live since people would feel better. Then, many problems could be solved elsewhere.
Yes from the beginning as a baby breast fed min first 2 years than keto or Paleo. You will get the same as hazda tribe they get Easy to 120 years of Age with out diseases
This is all taught in Islam ☪️ 🤲🏾
This is all taught in Christianity ✝ ❤
100% agree but peole make excuses for everything lazy
Fasting is BIBLICAL…learning how to control emotions…control bad habits…control addictions.
Yes😊
fr. its literally in our dna to fast
It’s not biblical It’s SCIENTIFIC! Every animal fast when they are unwell.
@@susiebear3316NO, you are wrong. It is biblical, like all the main religions
Muslims are in higher level
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
Fasting recycles spike protein. Makes sense you feel better
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
I highly recommend Dr. Mindy Pelz is an expert on fasting and goes into great detail about women’s cycles and how to fast.
I can’t agree more!
This is very important, especially if you’re in forties. I did intermittent fasting and suffered hormonal imbalances, recurrent uti.did not connect the two and suffered a lot
@@curiouscat3384 How do you know that we need to complicate fasting because of a cycle? lol
@@MarieLamour-cv1jcbecause fasting effects the hormones and some women even lose their period when fasting. Obviously that is not good and we don’t want to put such a strain on the body where it will start acting up. If you have no problems while fasting that’s great but not everyone is that lucky. Fasting does cause a stress to the body which may either be good or bad. If you get bad effects from it it would be wise to listen to your body instead of blindly following the heard.
I started keto healthy OMAD for 2 months. I lost 15 kg, I was 99 kg now I am at 84 kg I feel so good now. Thank you Dr Berg for all your advice 😊
We just started OMAD but not doing keto. I haven’t checked my weight loss yet but I hope it helps. 🤞
What are u eating for ur OMAD
my mother felt very tired and not well in this morning. I gave her to take vitamin D3 and took a sunshine for an hour after that she was feeling better. thank you dr berg~
Look into grounding for her. Barefoot in the grass for 20 minutes
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 do intermittent fasting… I eat around 9:00 – 10:00am and stop 4:30 pm. I have 18-19 hours of fasting every day…
I never had menopausal symptoms… I’m going to be 76 in 31 days.
I’m on a very low carb diet to keep my blood 🩸 sugar down
@@franrushie.510
I never did either! Not one symptom. It’s been 11 years I’m now 62.
This is probably THE most important video on how to live a long and healthy life. 🙏
It truly is.
Lower grocery bill as well.
Thanks for your comment. I hope my video will help a lot of people.
Thanks doc, I’ve started questioning everything, especially government health advice! After reading “Health and Beauty Mastery”, I completely changed my approach. This book reveals so many shocking truths about the health industry!
I got it, one of the best books ive read
I heard about that
I have read many books, I listened to many Youtube videos by many of the world’s leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
heard about it before, thanks for sharing!
read it a few days ago, truly a great book
she talking about some things that nobody thought me
