Eat healthy, exercise, take vitamin tabs, take one spoon of extra virgin olive oil and apple cider vinegar, drink matcha green tea and sleep well ... That's what I've done and just celebrated my 90th birthday lately. 😊

I remember when "over 50" sounded so far away. Now here I am, taking in all the info 😄 Thank you!

Avoid: iron, calcium, vit A. Take: sodium, vit C, B3, K1, K2, D, Magnesium,

High protein, low carbs, walk a lot, lift weights , eat animal fats and get some sunshine. Only drink spirits with soda water. Rest a lot. I'm 60 and in the best condition of my life since I turned 40. Oh, last thing, ignore all health advice from the government. This is probably the most important.

I live up north where we get little sun in the winter so I take 15,000 iu of D3 all year. My holistic MD agrees with all of this - the 'do takes' and the 'don't takes'. Dr. Berg is the BEST. I don't take niacin now though so I'll ask at my next appt. and probably start taking it. I'm 75 now, I take no meds and I do that same aerobic workouts I did when I was 30 and lift [almost] the same amount of weights. And I thank God each day that I can do all this. All in all, I owe it to Him.

Dr.berg is the type of doctor we all wanted but few got

I am over 50 & stopped taking supplements around 8 years ago, best thing i ever did. After the last 4 years i would not trust pharmaceutical companies as far as i could throw them. I obtain all my vitamins & minerals from the food i eat & i have never felt better.

Three years ago my doctor told me I was dangerously low in vitamin D and warned me that I could be susceptible to cancer. I started taking a D Supplement but just a few months later I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer,. I did the surgery and radiation so I'm good now, hopefully. Now I tell everyone that will listen to PLEASE take your Vitamin D & K.

I LOVE the people that always post a quick overview of the video! Thank you so much! It makes it easier on us. 😊

Never thought I would of made it to 50. The years went by too fast. 😞. Getting old is not easy on anyone.

This information is perfect timing today. I am 53, my mother is 73. She fell & broke a hip May 27, had to have hip replacement. We are BOTH lacking in all of the vitamins you listed as being essential as we age. THANK YOU Dr Berg, we appreciate you!!! 😊

I recently discovered doctors like Dr. Berg and a couple of others about a year ago. Since then I've turned a lot of my bad eating habits and health issues around! I've never had any of this type of advice from my primary care doctor! Thank you for the good doctors like Dr Berg that really care about people's health!

I'm 17 and watching this. From India 🇮🇳

A pinch of Celtic salt ,nac, D,b12,,c, no sugar good fats and balance and strength exercises !! I’m 60 and staring to live 🎉❤

I’m 26, but I’m watching this for my parents who are turning 60 and I’m so worried for their health 😭

Found Dr. Berg about 10 years ago. So glad we did 👍

I started keto carnivore 21 days ago and I am down 19.4 lbs, BP is down, no more joint pain, brain fog is gone. Energy is up. Prior to this I suffered for 3 months with severe pain. Had to use a walker.

I'm 61 and living in sunny Florida. I spend 45 mins a day out in the sun riding a bike. I'm good on Vitamin D. That's what i recommend!

I so appreciate you Dr. Berg. RE: NIACIN. I went to a cardiologist...I do have pretty high cholesterol but so did my mom...hers was over 300 and she lived till 95. Anyway, FIRST thing I get told is I need a statin. I told him that I will not take a statin. Now I had done some research myself and also listen to you.....I asked him, "well, couldn't I just take niacin to help" (knowing it would)...his answer: "I used to tell my patients to take niacin but not anymore"...I asked why and he said b/c there is not enough studies done to uphold that idea. Well, if it works why do we need a "study"? I just received my 500mg of niacin and I am going to give it a go...it is the sustained release as you suggested. Fingers crossed...and thank you!

Please do more over 55 diet related videos. Especially for people on blood pressure meds. Thanks

Dr. Berg, I am extremely grateful for your scientific clarification. You don't get such sound recommendations from doctors or pharmacies. I will adapt and follow accordingly. May you be in the best of health.

I take 45000 of vitd3 in winter in Canada. This stopped my hot flashes and made me calmer.

Dr Berg, I have such respect for you for providing a wide range of relevant helpful health information in an easy format and for putting the transcript in the description for quick and convenient consumption. So thanks.

Glad you mentioned donating blood. Donating blood is the only way to exercise the blood system like any other system of the body. Regularly donating blood trains your body to make fresh red blood cells, trains your body to rapidly clot leaks. Though I haven't donated as much the last 30 years being an over the road truck driver, but I have donated near 18 gallons the 30 years before. The training lasts a long time.

Thankyou once again, Dr. Berg. Your advice is always welcome, & you have helped me (& clearly many many others) change my life for the better.

im 63 years old and this video is so invaluable. I guess i have to get rid of my Iron tablets now. as im eating red meat daily. Thank you Doc

I don’t trust my two doctors. I always ask my equine vet and dog/cat vet and pick their brains. Our government has disappointed me over and over. Thank you Dr Berg for giving me options

Potassium is very important too! I've found that taking potassium usually completely eliminates migraines too, within just a few minutes after taking some. I still haven't figured out the "exact required" dosage, but I have some potassium salt that I take 1/4 teaspoon of at a time, every 10-20 minutes or so, until my headache goes away completely, when and if I ever get one, and that usually works within an hour or less, to completely eliminate a migraine and make you feel 100% again... So I just wonder if getting headaches is a result of being low in potassium... ? (Taking potassium works MUCH better than taking any kind of manufactured drugs for a headache, like aspirin, etc, plus, potassium works without any detrimental side effects!)

Thank you Dr Berg. This is very helpful. I stopped taking iron tablets years ago for the reasons mentioned and I am over 60

Great helpful advice, Dr Berg. Always love your insightful content. Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you Dr. Berg for another important video! Passing this on to my family!🙏🏾

Today, I feel frikking GREAT! Compared to how I felt at the start of the year, just about ready to crawl into a hole and die, I can't believe the difference that a course of the correct Vitamins/Minerals, and Intermittent Fasting has done for me. I have corrected TWO painful inflammations, one in my knee and in my Coccyx, and corrected a Vitamin D deficiency I've probably been living with for the past four years. I'm sleeping for longer, my blood pressure is down 10 points, I'm bright-eyed and alert, and I'm not sleeping during the day anymore. My depression is gone, I'm far less anxious and I feel hopeful for the future for the first time in bloody ages. I might soon also add some weight-loss to the list of positives, never a bad thing. Dr. Berg, I cannot thank you enough. Your advice has been right on the money in helping me find my good health again.

I'm over 50 now and I do all things in this video and especially love Vitamin K2. I get it from Australian Emu Oil, duck fat, and pasture raised eggs and grass-fed meats. My step-father at over 70 eats tons of "enriched" pasta all his life and now has 2 stints. He takes doctor-ordered statins too. He is tired of all my food and diet advice to throw away the wheat and statins and eat real food. People really don't like being told that they eat badly especially when they don't think they do. Oh well. I feel better than ever since I changed my diet to eating whole foods, got rid of seed oils, and the supplements I take are mainly from whole food sources as well, i.e. emu oil for K2 and fermented cod liver oil for Vit A & D3.

Thank you Dr. Berg. Highly informative and helpful, as always.

Thank you Dr for serving 🙏❤

I'll add this video to my playlist so that I can refer back to it in 10yrs

perfectly said !!! I am 36 hours into my dry fast, woke up early , but the benefits are amazing !! I have friends who can't even stop smoking, vaping, weed cracking for more than an hour, let alone fasting !! They are younger than me while they look a 100 years older than me !!! I tell them about you, so.... they look away and vape !! I guess you can't change ignorance, but you are very genuine since I discovered you 6 years ago and you changed our lives !!!!

Very useful information Dr.berg thankyou, I had my doubts about K1 and K2 and clotting vice versa and now it has been answered.

This is the best doctor God has given us.

I have a Moringa tree and eat a handfull of leaves each morning. Work in the sun most days at age 62 in Houston!

Great advice! You look amazing for your age, Dr Berg. Thanks for your insightful videos ❤

In the discussion of Vitamin D3 supplementation and hypercalcemia, you forgot to mention pairing with vitamin MK7. The MK7 diverts the calcium away from blood vessels and sends it to the teeth and bones where it belongs MK7 is a bioavailable form of K2. I take 10,000 IU D3; 200 mcg MK7

62M, have been loosely following dr. Berg's recommendations for the last couple of years. Never needed to visit / consult a white coat. But then, never had to b4 either really. I am feeling healthier though. Stat healthy, avoid white coats.

I think The Four Most Vital and Most Important Vitamins had also Missed and That is B1 (Benfotiamine), B12- (Methylcobalamin ) Potassium, Omaga 3.

It’s true as we get older we get difficult to manage so thank you Dr Berg.

Thanks dr Berg, I'm over 50 and I take these but I have been told that taking too many vitamins could be bad for liver and kidney... can you do a video on vitamins and dosages and effects on kidney and liver... you are amazing dr Berg

Thanks alot dr Berg, it's really great content topic. I will send it to my parents ❤

With iron I would say don't guess, get tested. I always assumed because I'm a man and over 60 that I should studiously avoid iron. After getting tested I was actually low. I now take the chelated form of iron MWF (taking it every day actually hinders absorption) and my levels are back in low range normal.

Just thought I would mention as a clinical scientist it’s important to take the right kind of Magnesium. Choose the one that is bound to an amino acid.

One of the best doctors around ❤

Thanks to my favorite doctor Berg... you are so good to us ❤

For the sauerkraut if you want to purchase look for sauerkraut fermented with just salt and also is unpasteurized so as to ensure the probiotics are there.

A balanced diet is all anyone should need

Thanks Dr. Berg. Once again awesome information for people 50 and above. This was an eye opener. Please keep those videos coming!! ❤❤❤🎉😊

Great, Ollefela! I will follow what you take. God bless you❤

You're great Dr Berg!

Never take medical advise from 3 letter agencies WHO, NIH, FDA, CDC etc.

Dr. Berg, thank you very much for important for live information 💯👏🏻👏🏻☀️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks Dr. Berg. This video was right on time for me, as I was concerned about the toxicity of increasing my vitamin D.

I hate that most people think that All vitamins are the same, Keep up the good work Dr Berg

I have a friend who's a G.P, he's in very very poor shape. He has severe auto immune issues and thinks more drugs are the answer. It's hard seeing this as he gets worse and I get healthier eating a carnivore diet. Don't go to your G.P for heath issues other than a compound fracture or hernia.

Thats why a few hundred years ago that blood-letting was a popular way to recover from illnesses quicker.

Great video. But please always specify the mg or µg dosage and instead of using IU.

Thank you again, Dr. Berg. Love you lots! 🥰

Thank you Dr Berg. It should be noted that B3 temporarily rises blood glucose, specially in diabetics.

Dr. Berg I am 55 and I struggle with energy in the morning. My blood pressure is 100/70. Would my pressure get lower if I take 50 mg of Niacin a day? I am afraid of that

0:03 - is the contents of the bowl before or after digestion

Why was a photo of carrots used for vitamin A? Carrots don't contain vitamin A (retinol), they contain pre-vitamin A carotenoids (beta carotene). The body only converts around 2% of beta carotenoids into retinol.

Niacin is the one supplement I won't ever be without. I enjoy the niacin flush and can't understand why people think of it as a negative.

Thanks for your time and your professionalism, this really helps me to take better care of myself. God bless you.

Phew! for a moment there I thought you were going to say avoid Pizza, Tacos, Burgers, Chips, etc.

I used to wear sunglasses every day for 30 years but spent plenty of time in the sun. My muscle mass was always average even if I did weights, but would have to keep up the weights to keep any descent muscle tone. Last couple of years I started helping a friend installing solar panels on roofs and I noticed in summer that I would get sunburned but my friend who is in his 50's like me and fair skinned didn't. I noticed he didn't wear sunglasses. So after researching sunlight, sunglasses and sunburn looking for a connection. I tried not wearing sunglasses and daily looking at the peripheral of the sun for a few seconds until my eyes would squint from the brightness. After a few weeks I started noticing that my muscle mass all over my body started to become strong and hard to the feel. 57 yrs old now and more muscle mass than i had in my 30's without training. I guess its vitamin D. My partner charges me $100/hr for a massage because she says its like massaging a rock so she has to use her elbows to get me to feel anything. lol

Thank you and good morning! I’m getting up there in age, so I appreciate this.

I live in Minnesota and in the summer I take 4-5,000 IU daily of Vitamin D, and in the winter months I take 6-7,000 IU daily. My number is 66 and they say anything between 30-80 is ideal. I hardly ever get sick. I also take 500mg of Garden of Life Raw Vitamin C during cold and flu season.

My Doctor told me to take Calcium supplements daily, however, I decided not to and glad I didn’t. Also appreciate knowing what I should be taking and eating…

We should eat beef and bacon and give up any and all junk food.

Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤

Your thoughts on mushroom coffee and do you have any recommendations??

This was a very fast paced episode, packed with great Info. Well done 👏👏👏!

Just an fyi.. your new videos don’t pop up for me.. they push synthetic for everything now.. great video .. thank you

Wow - that ended suddenly ! 50¢ in the meter ran out perhaps?

Excellent episode , thank you 👏🏻🌷✨🙏🏻

Best doctor

I know a fellow who has excess iron. Whenever he gets an MRI, he immediately goes to the IV clinic to have the iron removed. This is time-consuming and happens anywhere from 6 to 11 days. The IV takes about 3-4 hours. He told me those people who have this and are treated for it usually are dead by age 75.

Okay… totally off topic. I’ve been following you for over 10 years including taking your certification course and I have to be say, you look younger than you did 10 years ago. Keep doing what you are doing Dr. Berg.

Isn't Niacin hard on your liver in high doses?

Just bought Dr.Berg's Vitamin D3 and K2 😊

Isn't synthetic Vitamin A very dangerous for smokers and former smokers in increasing the risk of lung cancer? Also, I take Niacin, and I LOVE the flush. It makes me feel alive, it feels good. But it doesn't happen all the time. Is there any way to help increase the instance of niacin flush?

Dr. Berg I was prescribed Iron, Folate, and Vitamin D after my Gastric Bypass surgery, and I continued taking it. My question to you is the following: How do I know if I have excess iron in my blood??! I take the following Vitamins: C ; D2 (by prescription); E; A; Selenium; B1; B3; K2; Potassium; Folate; Calcium; Magnesium; Zinc; Omega 3; Kelp; CqQ 10 Sometimes I wonder if I am taking too much or if I am taking unnecessary supplements. Please let me know since you are the only doctor that I trust. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Question for Dr. Berg ..... is it true that we lose the ability to get D3 from the sun starting at age 60 and by age 70 we must use supplemental form to maintain healthy levels ?

VITAMIN X 😂 I PROMISE I CAN'T STAND IT WHATSOEVER. 💯 Thanks, Dr. Berg! Have a wonderful day, everyone! 🙂

Hi Dr Berg, I’m suffering from crawling sensation on my face , under the eyes, have done so for 6 weeks, try healthy diet , no stress and exercise but nothing working. Best description of my condition is FORMICATION, anything I can do for this ????

how much k2 do we need to take vs D3?

oh, another milestone of learning... thank you so much Dr. Eric, be blessed more and more.
