Take the free 2-minute quiz to find out: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 LDL is a protein made by the liver and serves many important functions in the body. LDL provides the raw materials needed to produce hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and cortisol. It is also involved in the production of vitamin D and bile.More than half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal LDL levels, raising important questions about the role of LDL in cardiovascular disease.There are two main types of LDL: small, dense LDL and large, buoyant LDL. Small, dense LDL is associated with inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic stress. Large, buoyant LDL is generally considered non-pathogenic. Despite the focus on lowering LDL cholesterol, there is limited evidence that simply reducing LDL levels acts as heart disease prevention. Higher LDL levels have even been associated with longevity in some research.Many people are prescribed statins without determining which type of LDL they have. An advanced lipid profile can help identify whether your LDL is primarily small dense LDL or large buoyant LDL, providing a more complete picture of your cardiovascular health.Dr. Eric Berg, DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

Digital eye strain can affect far more than just your eyes. Discover what happens to your eyes and brain after 8 hours of screen time, how screen use can contribute to myopia, and the best strategies for eye strain relief.0:00 Digital eye strain0:25 Myopia in children1:18 Computer eye strain hour by hour 3:25 Sunlight and your eyes6:15 Peripheral vision and digital eye strain 6:43 Nearsightedness after 8 hours of screen time7:11 How to reduce eye strain8:38 Daily sun for eye strain relief 🌟 10 biological signals control how you feel every day, but only 1 matters most for YOUR body. Take the free 2-minute quiz to find out: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 Digital eye strain is becoming increasingly common as screen time continues to rise. Because the retina is actually brain tissue, prolonged screen use can affect both eye health and brain function.The ciliary muscle controls the lens of the eye, allowing you to focus on objects that are near or far away. Extended screen time keeps this muscle contracted for hours at a time, making it difficult for the eyes to relax.During the first few hours of screen use, you may not notice any symptoms. As screen time continues, your blink rate can drop significantly, reducing the lubrication of the eyes and contributing to digital eye strain.After several hours of continuous screen use, the ciliary muscle can lose its ability to fully relax, similar to a muscle cramp. This may contribute to eye fatigue, difficulty focusing, dizziness, disorientation, reduced peripheral vision, and other symptoms associated with prolonged screen exposure.One of the best ways to reduce eye strain and support eye health is to regularly look into the distance and spend time outdoors. Try leaving the house without your phone for 20 minutes and allow your gaze to naturally drift. Taking frequent breaks outside can help relax the eyes, support healthy vision, and may help reduce the risk of myopia.Dr. Eric Berg, DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

If you’re dealing with pattern hair loss, a receding hairline, or thinning hair, this is for you. Discover how to stop hair loss naturally and support healthy hair regrowth by addressing the true underlying causes of hair loss. 🌟 10 biological signals control how you feel every day, but only 1 matters most for YOUR body. Take the free 2-minute quiz to find out: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 0:00 Introduction: Pattern hair loss0:37 Hair follicle stem cells1:15 Hair loss causes1:49 DHT hair loss 3:27 Can I take a natural DHT blocker?5:28 How to regrow hair naturally5:53 DHT benefits6:50 Microneedling for hair loss8:02 Topical melatonin for hair growth8:30 Hair growth tips and natural hair loss remedies 9:13 Onion juice for hair regrowth9:51 Stress and hair lossMost hair-loss remedies won’t work because of scar tissue on the scalp. This physical barrier can prevent healthy hair growth.If you’re experiencing hair loss, your hair follicles aren't actually dead; they’re dormant. Even people who are completely bald still have living stem cells within the hair follicles.Scar tissue on the scalp is often caused by inflammation. Inflammation can lead to calcification and reduced blood flow to the scalp, preventing many hair loss remedies from working effectively.You may have heard that DHT, a powerful form of testosterone, causes pattern hair loss. There is usually a deeper root cause behind DHT-related hair loss: insulin resistance.Hair follicles depend on glucose for fuel. If you’re insulin-resistant, hair follicles may not get the energy they need to support healthy hair growth.Simply taking a DHT blocker without addressing insulin resistance may not produce significant results. Improving insulin resistance is a more effective strategy for supporting natural hair regrowth, and a low-carb diet is one of the best ways to combat it.Scalp microneedling has been shown to help break up scar tissue and improve the penetration of topical hair loss remedies. This helps natural remedies, such as topical melatonin, work more effectively.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

How can you overcome vitamin D deficiency on the carnivore diet without increasing your intake? Discover how the carnivore diet can improve gut health, insulin resistance, and chronic inflammation to improve vitamin D absorption and help optimize its benefits naturally.🌟 Which of the 10 health signals are you missing? Take the 2-minute quiz to discover your #1 Health Lever: https://drbrg.co/4tO9nV9 0:00 Introduction: Vitamin D and the carnivore diet 1:01 Magnesium, zinc, vitamin K2, and D31:55 Other barriers to vitamin D absorption2:11 Carnivore diet benefits 3:19 Vitamin K2 benefits 3:57 Cholesterol and vitamin D 5:01 Vitamin D receptor resistance 6:14 Carnivore diet results Many people notice major improvements on the carnivore diet, including reduced symptoms of autoimmune disease, less joint pain, improved mood, and better overall health.Although beef, chicken, pork, and other meats are relatively low in vitamin D, the carnivore diet can still help correct vitamin D deficiency. Simply taking more vitamin D doesn’t always solve the problem.Vitamin D depends on several important cofactors, including magnesium, zinc, vitamin K2, retinol, and cholesterol, the raw material used to make vitamin D in the body.Vitamin D enters your cells through the vitamin D receptor. Vitamin D receptor resistance is very common, often caused by obesity, insulin resistance, and poor gut health.Meat is a potent source of highly bioavailable nutrients, especially the cofactors needed for vitamin D. Many plant foods contain antinutrients that can interfere with nutrient absorption.Vitamin D is made from cholesterol, so inadequate cholesterol intake can also impact vitamin D production.The carnivore diet helps to reduce gut inflammation, increase autophagy, improve bile flow, reduce SIBO, and eliminate candida overgrowth, all of which support better vitamin D absorption and overall health.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

You’re using collagen wrong. This common collagen mistake could be limiting your results.

Prolonged sitting is one of the worst things for your joints.Most people are deficient in collagen because the modern diet provides very little.Collagen also requires specific mechanical input to benefit different tissues. Whether you’re supporting bones, tendons, ligaments, or skin, the right types of movement can help maximize collagen absorption and effectiveness.Your blood vessels are largely made of collagen. Brisk walking, interval training, and nasal breathing can help support vascular health and direct collagen where it’s needed.Aim for about 15 grams of collagen daily, paired with vitamin C to support absorption. For best results, consume collagen 30 to 60 minutes before exercise.Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
