A few years ago my Dr was wanting to put me on a Statin, instead I listened to Dr Berg's advice (and a few other, Dr. Shaun Baker, Dr. Berry, Dr. Saladino, Thomas Delauer), I not only have no need to take a medication anymore but I lost 40lbs, and improved my cholesterol markers and testosterone markers, which my own Dr. Doesn't understand how I can improve those without his help😂

I've had high blood pressure for all of my life and did my best to cut out salt because that's what everyone recommended. My blood pressure never went down. Then, for an unrelated reason, I went on the keto diet and my blood pressure plummeted to normal levels, even as I started to add more salt back into my diet. Dr. Berg's information has been a life changer in my understanding of nutrition.

I'm always amazed about how much time people spend learned "their craft," but spend virtually no time understanding their own bodies. Arguably the most valuable asset anyone owns. Ty Dr.Berg for this free education basic information

Top signs you’re consuming too much salt: • Edema (in the eyes, hands, feet, or lower legs) • Thirst • High blood pressure • Headache • Restlessness • Irritability • Nausea • Fatigue Top signs of sodium deficiency: • Weakness • Low blood pressure • An increase in neurotransmitters • Vascular stiffness and high blood pressure • Insulin resistance Thank you Dr Berg and welcome back! 😼👍

If Dr. Berg taught a health and nutrition class in college I’d definitely take it.

Dr Berg, for the first time i really went through the description because i cant play audio right now and i wanted the info. I was pleasantly welcomed with all the info, in the same no nonsense format. Thank you for making a great difference to the many that are benefiting from your knowledge shared. Much appreciation from 🇿🇦 South Africa

missed you for the last few days. glad your back in my morning email box. can't start the day without your great healthy advice.

Your videos have been speaking more truths lately and I like that a lot!! You're covering very important information fairly and thoroughly

My doctor tried to get me to take diuretics for my high BP and I refused knowing that it would deplete me of potassium. My potassium level was teetering on the low side anyway and I refused the prescription. When I asked about potassium pills she told me that potassium was dangerous! I knew better and immediately ordered Dr Bergs electrolyte drink mix. And my BP started dropping almost immediately. Went on Keto, lost 12 pounds within 6 weeks. His advice is lifesaving.

Potassium and sodium go hand-in-hand. When I’m working out hard, & sweating heavily, I have salt tablets, and coconut water. Boom! I feel so much better.

Great education also for those folks who'd rather argue about the color of a static screen. THANK YOU, KINDLY OUR DR. BERG! 🙌 Have a WONDERFUL day everyone! 🙂

Hi Dr. Berg! Appreciate you and this educational video more than words can express. Thank you! 🙏❤️

Having been a swimming pool contractor for 38 yrs, and working 10hr days in the sun, I did have unusually low BP and craved salt. I'd buy a jug of lemon Gatorade and pour salt in it. Interesting to learn this now. I have high BP and try to limit sodium, lemon juice is a great substitute for salt!

This 💯 lines up with my experience. Upping my potassium considerably (using cronometer to track) led to a ton of improvements, potassium deficiency is a seriously underreported issue!

Welcome bach Dr Berg. Great content and so useful always.Thank you so much and so much Doctor Berg.Have a nice day ❤🙏🙏🙏👍🌹

Thank you so much for your videos, Dr. Berg. You’ve helped so many people. 😀

as usual, very very useful information. I must say i love listening to your explanations. have great day!

Please don't be away this long again Doc, we love you!

Dr Berg is amazing human being.

I suffered from vertigo a few years ago, had blood work done and it showed elevated sodium levels, I quit eating table salt and my vertigo went away. That was over 4 years ago and have not had vertigo since. ✌️✌️

I found through watching your other videos about potassium that I had become very sensitive to my requirement for Potassium. At nearly 69 years old I’ve never had a blood pressure problem until recently. Now, where I routinely take 5000 mg of potassium in divided doses throughout the day, I have no problems. Sodium is difficult to measure (2300 mg) since it’s so prevalent but in the normal course of my days if I take less than 5000 mg K+, I do have elevated blood pressure. I had to remind my alternative doctor (that I do EDTA chelation therapy with) of the sodium potassium pump! Thank you for all you do! 💖🙋‍♀️🇨🇱

Dr Berg u and Dr Mandell are the best no doubt in my mind. Ive learned so much from the 2 of u. Thanks 🙏 so much ur much appreciated. Enjoy 😉

I've watched some of your videos from near a decade ago and boy you are looking good these days! Thanks again for another informative video.

For the past month or so, I've increased my salt and potassium intake. But I just found today from your videos that I've got the ratios mixed up! Time to increase the potassium intake! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Dr for all the information that you give us You are so generous and help others you deserve the best🍀🌹🌸

If I had to choose one nutrition expert / channel for the rest of my life you already know who it would be ❤

Thank you for your high valuable service to all of us humans.

Please clarify the hyper- and hyponatremia / headache connection, especially identifying the headache being external vascular rather than cerebral.

Dr Berg, could you possibly talk about how dangerously poisonous for the body is to be overconsumed by emotions, to feel the stress running through your body every second? To overthink everything and punish yourself for not doing the things right, for not choosing the best option? This is what is happening for me right now and I am absolutely drained.

Always brilliant info Dr Berg ❤

You look fantastic! THANK YOU for answering yet another concern most recently in my thoughts!

*_I aim for 5g sea salt each day, but the days I consume 10 or 15g/day; I feel SO MUCH BETTER that evening-and following day. Then back to normal feeling._* *_I do eat a very salty meal(10g-15g)from time to time, as a treat. I do not fully believe I am one of those who should eat 10g/day; there's enough people online that claim the 5g is too little and they have had the same positive reactions I have had on taking 10-15g/day. Odd thing is, I don't get really thirsty from 10-15g salt, I want some more water, but not twice as much as usual?_* ---> *_Spreading out the salt intake is a good idea, I also have a crack of sea salt in my morning coffee; this has several benefits well worth a Dr.Berg video._* *_This is on Healthy Keto Diet With Intermittent Fasting or Carnivore Diet with Intermittent Fasting. No carb-cheat-days; not needed or wanted._*

You have a great tan! Thanks for the consistent information!🙌🏽

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, it's very valuable always..Please advise sodium chloride and how it works for the body ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for this. Everyone tells me I use too much salt. I feel validated!

Having been doing the sodium potassium dance I learned one more note in this song... vitamin C and sub clinical scurvy. Diuretics also flush water soluble vitamin C out of the body causing edema as well.

Please make a video on vasculitis, high Myloperoxidase 🙏🏼 Thank you so much Dr Berg

Awesome info video my hubby has CHF he has watched his sodium video make since

I like salt over sugar Dr. Berg ❤ thank you for sharing this video, blessings always. ✝️

interesting info on the converging of the salt sea and fresh water :) . Nature is so astounding.

Always appreciate the videos, if possible, could you do a video about how to go about implementing the needed amounts of electrolytes for a daily routine? Thanks!

I started adding potassium chloride to the water I drink and I can notice a huge difference in how I feel. I used to have unexplained heart palpitations and since I started adding potassium chloride to the water I drink the heart palpitations have COMPLETELY disappeared. I always had plenty of sodium in my diet, but I could never eat near enough fruits and vegetables to hit 4000mg of potassium a day. Adding potassium chloride to my water is an easy way to get the right amount of potassium my body needs. I’m hoping it will help with my blood pressure too which tends to be on the higher side more often than not.

This hit a nerve. I’m hypertensive and just cut out eating bacon from my diet. Been keto since January and had a very high reading a couple of weeks ago and back on meds after using high dose D3, K2 and supplements😕Only taking a half pill as a full pill of lisinopril/HCTZ made my BP go lower than I’ve ever seen. Going to go all out next week IF+keto+exercise🙏🏿 Thanks Dr Berg♥️

Hi! Can you do a video for people suffering from Parkinson’s . The do’s and don’t’s for them 🙏

Please make a video on it or answer.keep blessed you are my favorite KZfaqr.

For some reason, I have not been getting Dr. Bergs's notifications lately, even though I have always had them set on "all".

I also think there is a big difference in consuming salt and consuming boxed food full of sodium

How does the Baja Salt compare to Celtic Sea Salt, that is what I have been using - i'm ordering it regardless, as I love salt and always looking for new ones to try but curious if a similar mineral makeup? love your content, i just realized today that you have a line of supplements! I will be ordering some!

your new mic is more “tinny” sounding or high pitched, not as “rich” as your prior mic. i used low sodium salt that has potassium built in so its a win win. but i also use your electrolyte powder too. 😊

Sure miss you every morning Dr Berg

Hello Dr Eric Berg. I am a subscriber to your channel and a customer of your supplements from your website. I watch ( and Like 👍 ) all of your videos. Thank You for providing so much useful information to help us get healthier. I wanted to inform you that there is another YT channel ( Mr.mindset ) that is rebroadcasting your content

Clicked on this video quickly!! I do love salt..

crazy he made this video today. My blood pressure went wild last week to 160/90 from normal BP. I suspected it was low potassium since I was essentially doing carnivore with A LOT of a salt haha. Added potassium this week from supplementation alongside beet greens and spinach in a smoothie and back to normal. My BP does spike after meals though (assuming from the sodium). However, I suspect as I stabilize my potassium levels, these spikes will level off. Fasting BP back to normal now. Thank you for confirming my theory with this video! BTW, doctor never even asked about diet or recent lifestyle changes, just gave me BP medication. Useless....

I put a heaping teaspoon in my mouth and only needed a third of a level teaspoon. Thank you for telling me how to do this!

Dr. Berg, so if Potassium is the key to balanced PH & sodium, can you please make a video on Potassium Bicarbonate capsules?

Please do a video on malaria and other parasite virus illnesses. Sooo much at work and home with all the rain and mosquitoes. Taking paratrex° and other natural anti-virus/parasite treatments. Thank you sir.

Good information 👍 Dr Eric

Actually, sea salt contains a mixture of plastics, since the oceans are so polluted. Also the minerals in sea salts are insufficient when compared to the significantly better alternative: Himalayan pink salt. Baja gold salt, fascinating. I've never heard of that. Thank you.

Dr. Berg, do you recommend taking Coco Aminos as substitute for soy sauce (or any salt additive) instead? Many thanks

One of the worst things you can do for your body is eat too little salt.

This is insanely powerful information!!!!! WOW

Great informative video! 🏆

Hello Dr. Eric..thanks for your video.. it's very educational and helpful

What's your opinion on Nusalt as a potassium source?

Please talk about canned cod liver in its own oil. Is it advisable to drink the oil in the can? Does it have more benefits compared to a can of sardines in olive oil? How many can I consume a week?

I went through this phase of craving salt but I had no symptoms and i wasn't thirsty. I told the Dr. I was craving salt my pressure did go up but it always went down when I worked out at the gym like cardio.

Welcome back Dr.Berg

What is you opinion of Redmond’s Real Salt? It’s from the mines of Utah. I’ve been putting a small dash in my water and drinking it everyday for about a month. My vertigo is gone and I drink a lot more water daily than ever before.

Thank you for your incredible videos. I would like to request a video comparing ADF (Mon/Wed/Fri while eating 2-3 times a day on Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun) vs daily IF (OMAD), and its effects on metabolism. I personally believe ADF is better at maintaining a faster metabolism. Or do you already have a video on this that I'm not finding? Thank you

Very interesting info 🤍 Thanks Dr Berg 🌸

I hope people don’t take the info in this video out of context. Our bodies need salt but the key is to balance it out with potassium. You still don’t want to exceed the daily recommended salt amount which is what a lot of Americans do. Too much salt can cause or worsen cardiovascular, bone and neurological diseases.

I use Morton Lite salt. It’s a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride. It’s still salty and it gives a nice balance of sodium and potassium.

You are a true doctor

This is the only time I'm happy I got clickbaited! I knew how important salt was thanks to you sir, so I couldn't give this video a pass... Thank you, truly❤

Hi, and thank you for this healthy helpful information 😊

I’ve heard several homeopathic doctors mention natural Salt or Celtic salt. As in two grains under the tongue with water. Your thoughts?

I got myself a new Dr who now is looking after me, the old Dr was giving me fursomide when in fact it was chronic inflammation

after living the first 50 years of my life, another well known and reputable Dr on here "convinced" me through his videos that I should have at least a little bit of salt each week. About 2 years ago, I started using Redmond Real Salt and surprisingly, it only took me a few weeks to get used to the taste. I use it 2-4 times a week on the Carnivore diet. How does Redmond compare to the Baja Gold, in your studies? The carnivore diet has me healthier internally than I have been since I was a kid with all aspects where they need to be except my BP. That continues to be a battle.

DR Berg !!!! Deep gratitude !

Hi Dr Berg. Is Baja Gold Sea Salt better than Pink Himalayan Salt? Which one has more minerals and benefits? Thanks!

Lost 32lbs in 1 week with carnivore fasting, but then plateaued for 5 days. Suspected excess salt, so did a 36-hour hard dry fast with light exercise. Dropped 8lbs after the fast, and weight stayed low after rehydrating. Will do another hard dry fast if needed. Thanks, Dr. Berg! 😊

Most Americans eat way too much sodium. Thanks for the info on Baja Gold sea salt! I’ll keep an eye out for it. ✌️

OMG thank you for this video my sister suffers with excaltly what you have described in this video we kept thinking maybe her iron levels were low now we just learnt from you your advice makes a lot of sense 🙏

I definitely feel like sometimes that I do consume too much salt. Especially when it comes to things plantain chips, which I should be cutting out my diet. Because I feel like it also makes me hypoglycemic. I really started paying attention to salt the last two years. Went from buying sea salt to trying himalayan salt. To going back to regular table salt but with iodine because they said that's really good for your thyroid.

Dr. Berg please help me. I understand that taking 4700 mg of potassium is good for you. That will be 3 times 18 tablets of 99 mg. My question is when do you take them? Can you take them on a empty stomach? When is the latest time you can take potassium? Will it interfere with your sleep? Thank you doctor❤

Love your presentations! What is the best potassium supplement or way to intake sufficient potassium?? Thanks!!

This information is priceless , thank you @Dr. Eric Berg DC

Hi Berg...good morning Could you please briefly explain salt will cause sore throat

Excellent info! Thank you!

I always use low sodium salt, which has potassium chloride as well

My Dad piled salt on his plate, every meal time, a little mountain of it , at 93 he’s still with us🤔

Good morning Dr Berg from Northern Ireland 🙏🙏🙏🌹☘️🇮🇪

Excellent information, thank you 👍

How about microplastics in baja gold sea salt ?

I found that it wasn't the amount of salt in my diet, but what type of salt that was detrimental. I haven't used iodized salt in years and I avoid high sodium drinks like Gatorade and Powerade. I take a kelp supplement for potassium iodide. The iodine used in table salt is not healthy. I also take a GNC men's multivitamin and 25mg of DHEA every day. I cook with and drink distilled water. I'll be 47 next month and I can still ride my skateboard at the skatepark, play basketball or any other physical activity I've enjoyed through the years.

Hallelujah Someone tell the Doctors Please

You are the best! Thank you for this helpful information. I'm going to increase my potassium starting today!

Thank you Dr. Berg. Grateful.

Thank you Dr. Berg👑🏆

Thank you for this valuable information 🫡👊🏾👍🏽
