Today, I’m going to tell you how to get thick and shiny hair naturally! Biotin is a B vitamin that many people take for thick, shiny hair. It can come from the diet, but it can also come from the gut microbiome.
The good bacteria in your gut make biotin. This is why a common side effect of antibiotics is hair problems. When you stop taking biotin, you may notice that the problem comes right back, so it’s vital to address gut health when dealing with biotin deficiency.
Liver and egg yolks are the best sources of biotin. Nutritional yeast and salmon also contain biotin. Alcohol, raw eggs, and magnesium deficiency can interfere with biotin absorption. Zinc and copper are essential for biotin absorption and function.
Retinol, the active form of vitamin A, is only found in animal foods. Liver and egg yolks are the best sources, but you can also find vitamin A in shellfish and cod liver oil. Vitamin A helps control sebum, so it’s very beneficial for thick, shiny hair!
For healthy hair, reduce your omega-6 fat intake and increase your omega-3s. Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for healthy hair. Fish oil and cod liver oil are excellent sources of omega-3s.
L. reuteri is a microbe missing in 96% of the population. It increases sebum, which makes hair shiny, and it may also increase hair growth.
Copper is used in many different enzymes, including the enzyme that helps prevent iron accumulation in your tissues. Iron is vital for hair growth, but we need the right balance. NPK fertilizer in our foods is a common cause of copper deficiency. If the grass is deficient in copper, the animals that eat the grass will also be deficient.
Animals with copper deficiency have very dull hair. If this can happen to sheep and cows, it can definitely happen to us!
Overconsumption of iron, often from fortified wheat products, can lock up your copper and contribute to copper deficiency. Other contributors to copper deficiency include high fructose corn syrup and high zinc intake.
If you want healthy hair, add the following foods to your diet:
•Fermented foods (i.e. kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi)
•Liver
•Egg yolks
•Cod liver oil/cod liver
•Organic foods
•Trace minerals

Dr Berg speaks, I listen, and react accordingly ❤
I am losing hair so thank you .I think its lack of oestrogen too . great advice thank you
If you wash your head daily with shampoo this could also contribute to hair thinning and weaker roots. Try avoiding shampoo and rinse thoroughly with water. I’ve been doing it since over 20 years and my scalp is happy.
Low cholesterol diets will lower hormone production. Also statin therapy is very detrimental as well

Thick and Shiny Hair: The Root Cause
Today, we’re going to explore the secrets behind thick and shiny hair. As you know, I like to dive deep into the root causes of certain issues. When it comes to hair, it’s essential to understand that any problems you’re experiencing are just the tip of the iceberg.
Biotin: The B Vitamin
Biotin is a B vitamin that plays a crucial role in hair growth. Many people take biotin supplements to improve the thickness and shine of their hair. However, it’s essential to understand why you might be deficient in biotin in the first place.
Gut Microbiome and Biotin
Your gut microbiome produces biotin. However, antibiotics can disrupt this process, leading to biotin deficiency. This is why people who take antibiotics may experience hair problems.
Diet and Biotin
Biotin can also be obtained through your diet. Foods rich in biotin include liver, egg yolks, and nutritional yeast. However, it’s essential to cook your eggs, as raw eggs can prevent biotin absorption.
Vitamin A and Hair Growth
Vitamin A, specifically retinol, is essential for hair growth. It helps control sebum production, making your hair shiny and healthy. Foods rich in vitamin A include liver, egg yolks, and shellfish.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Hair Growth
Omega-3 fatty acids are crucial for hair growth. They help make your hair thick and shiny. Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include fish oil, cod liver oil, and flaxseeds.
Lactobacillus Ruteri and Hair Growth
Lactobacillus ruteri is a microbe that’s essential for hair growth. It increases sebum production, making your hair shiny and healthy.
Copper and Hair Growth
Copper is an essential mineral for hair growth. It helps regulate iron levels, which is crucial for hair growth. Foods rich in copper include shellfish, nuts, and legumes.
Causes of Copper Deficiency
Copper deficiency can be caused by various factors, including:
– NPK fertilizers, which deplete copper levels in soil
– Excessive iron consumption, which can lock up copper
– Fructose corn syrup, which depletes copper levels
– Zinc supplements, which can deplete copper levels if taken in excess
Summary
To achieve thick and shiny hair, focus on the following:
1. Consume probiotic-rich foods like kefir, sauerkraut, and kimchi to support your gut microbiome.
2. Eat foods rich in biotin, vitamin A, and omega-3 fatty acids, such as liver, egg yolks, and cod liver oil.
3. Choose organic foods to avoid glyphosate, which can deplete copper levels.
4. Ensure you’re getting enough trace minerals, including copper, zinc, and magnesium.
Thank you!
He missed it in this video but vit D ..Very important..He has mentioned in previous videos ..
Thank you! ❤
Dr berg videos are the best christmas gifts
Amen & Amen ❤
Excellent video
He shows how everything in our bodies works together. There’s DEFINITELY a BALANCE!!!
I use a pure copper pitcher for drinking water. It’s no wonder the copper pipes have been removed.
Want to add … I leave the water in pitcher at least overnight. I have read a few glasses a day is enough as, like anything else, we don’t want overload.
@@MotherShip-u3kjust watched a video about the perfect ratio of zinc to copper 8 to 1 …. See playlist on copper or one with a long title
Very interesting. As a carnivore for 8 months, eating organic fatty steaks and eggs, I now have an ‘under fringe’ (bangs) where my hair is re growing after being thin for years on a vegetarian diet.
That’s because meats have a high absorption rate and plants not nearly enough.
My hair is so bad, I accidentally found this video, it’s amazing ❤
The only doctor I follow!!!
Dr. Mandell & Dr. Ken Berry
@@anonymous-m9k9z Who provides better info than most any Dr
Dr. Berry lost his license for reusing dirty needles. You should be proud to follow a low life 😂@@NotACrat
@@anonymous-m9k9zbro could be a carpenter for all I care. Small brain “trust the experts” types like yourself have a hard time grasping the idea that people can learn different fields from what they went into. Shocker, I know. Vaxxed mudbloods could never understand.
Same thing
If there was a global award for medical explanation Dr Berg would win 🏆 it every year,thank you Dr Berg for sharing your knowledge.
Dr. Berg is my first doctor whenever I am sick with something.
Oh my, mine as well
Eat to not get sick in the first place.
Thank you. I started the L. Reuteri a few weeks ago due to your video. I had already read Super Gut. I am sleeping MUCH deeper, dreaming and generally happier. YAY!
Dr. William Davis fermented yogurt is soooo easy to make, once you get started. I love it! I mix blueberries and a bunch of raw nuts/coconut flakes/cinnamon and hemp seed in with my morning “fermented yogurt parfait “
Thanks for your awesome comment on the sleep and dreams, gotta check this out
Good for u
Where did you get L returi?
@ Amazon
My hair feels and looks so much better just by watching this video
😂😂😂you are bold as a egg
😅
Hahaha
RFK should hire Dr. Berg as an assistant for a healthier America.
I have a feeling he has dr berg in mind!
yes
@firestar7774 Based on what?
Better yet! Get rid of RFK all together!
Dr. Berg you saved my life. I was ready to loose a leg and wear a Clap mask, go under apnea surgery…etc…now I am 100 pounds off , built muscle and fitness, of course my diet changes drastically and I fast all weeks at least 72 hours.
Wow!!!! ❤ congrats for talking your health back away from the for profit system!
My two guys to go to is Dr. Berg and Dr. Ekberg, they are what real doctors and real medicine is supposed to be.
What a great change!
@@roxannamiguel7291 I don’t know if I’ve watched Dr. Ekburg. I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for the suggestion!
Very happy for you.
As a cosmetologist for over 20 years, I can absolutely tell you that healthy hair comes from diet or proper nutrition. I see this all the time with clients who go on these quick and fast weight loss programs. Whenever their hair starts to hit the telogen phase or natural shedding cycle, their hair falls out in handfuls. I usually advise them to start adding more healthy fats to their diet and it does help. It can take a while to reverse this, so I say keep going and be patient with the process. Thanks for the video, because I now have much more specifics on the vitamin and minerals needed.
On another note, I started taking your magnesium supplements and man what a difference they have made! Thank you! 😊
Wow that is really interesting. Thanks for sharing.
@michelleratliff1494 for hair ?
@kimclark399 also increase blood flow to the scalp. We hold a lot of tension in that area and most people have very tight scalps that restrict blood flow. Blood flow is what delivers the nutrients to the hair follicles. Just a daily 5min scalp massage does wonders …and it’s relaxing too 😜
how much fat and magnesium do you recommend?
How much does hypothyroidism of tsh 6 contribute to hairloss?
I have severe hair loss and no hair care has helped much. I don’t take thyroid pills anymore as I saw no change in hair loss, energy levels or improvement in tsh levels.
So do you think it’s because of poor diet or just thyroid problem?
Btw I’m 28 yrs.
This Doctor needs to be cloned and put into EVERY medical school to re-educate doctors with correct information about HEALTH. He is brilliant, and a gem of a person to anyone with common sense about how to improve their health in a sustained way. I just love learning from his simple to understand videos … I respect this man immensely. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🤷
My two guys to go to is Dr. Berg and Dr. Ekberg, they are what real doctors and real medicine is supposed to be.
I agree .. Very informative 🎉
Talking about hair and getting to the root of it!
HahHah I see what you did there!!!
I’m a vegan. I’m now 67 years old. Being vegan most of my life my hair has been thin for very long time. I’ve been taking vegan collagen builder for about 6 months. My hair has stopped falling out and I have a beautiful crop of silver hair. 😊
