Hello Dr. Kate. As a Naturopathic/Holistic Practitioner-I have been readily looking into and researching the best form of Berberine for some patients. Your video, the detail, the focus, as well as all of the educational points are impressive. And I have consequently, given your link to a number of those interested in learning more about Berberine. I am officially a new subscriber. I believe you are relatable and consequently make all topics. Understandable. Great post great videos great work!

NO MEDICATIONS! i appreciate your answering my question. this is a rare gem on youtube to have questions answered. i will continue on with the berberine, taurine & glycine and magnesium glycinate. seems to be working well as it’s kept my A1C at 5.0 to 5.2 range. keep up the good work, i will be watching.

I was told by my primary care MD that it’s probably not a good idea for me to take Berberine with the medications I take (i.e., Nebivolol for heart palpitations and Sertraline for anxiety), but my doc wasn’t very familiar with Berberine, so I wanted to find out your thoughts on whether or not it would be safe for me to take Berberine while on these meds. (I also take Estroven Weight Management, magnesium lycinate, vitamin D, and vitamin C supplements and Nature’s Way probiotics pearls). Thanks, in advance, for the advice!

@DrKateLyzengaDean 8 күн бұрын

Because I don't know all the circumstances that would cause your doctor to advise against taking Berberine, I can't say if it's safe for sure in your case - but I would ask your doctor to be more specific about WHY they don't think it's a good idea. I have had clients on similar medications who did well with Berberine - so it would be appropriate for you to push back and get a good explanation before giving up on it!

@user-hc1tj7cl2j 8 күн бұрын

@@DrKateLyzengaDean Here’s what my doctor said: ‘From what I have found Berberine can lower BP and sometimes interact with Sertraline. If you do take it I would take the lowest dose possible. Berberine is typically not FDA regulated so there is limited information on what it interacts with.’

@mrs185 29 күн бұрын

The Cancer Research Institutes have conflicting information about the interaction of Berberine and Anastrozole. There are no direct comparisons about Anastrozole, they describe more negative effects on patients who are taking chemotherapy or other medications, but it is about Anastrozole with Berberine that they say “not sufficiently studied.” What do you say about this, because you must have more information than I can find. Thank you.

@DrKateLyzengaDean 28 күн бұрын

Cancer medications need to be efficiently detoxified and eliminated from the body in order to minimize side effects and damage - and anything that interferes with that detox process is technically an interaction. That said, I have worked with clients in the past who are undergoing treatment with drugs like Anastrozole who benefit from nutraceuticals like Berberine with no negative impact or interactions. Like you said, there are not any studies that specifically assess Anastrozole and Berberine - so we need to draw our own conclusions.

@shellyl.6501 21 күн бұрын

When taking Berberine or any other detox meds does this means the meds your taking ( you need ) is being removed from the body ?

@DrKateLyzengaDean 14 күн бұрын

All medications are removed from the body by the liver after a certain time at different rates, depending on a bunch of factors. Supplements like Berberine and many many others can impact how quickly or effectively your body handles these drugs - which is typically a good thing, but it's important to factor in especially in cases of cancer.

I have been taking Berberine HCL 1200 MG. For almost a month , I haven't change anything just to see , and I haven't lost a pound. My eating habits are bad meaning I don't eat hardly at all. I can't remember the last time I ate a full balanced meal. I don't eat fried foods , I don't eat large amount of foods infact it's the total opposite. However my down fall is sweets !!!! So , I know that's a problem not eating when I do it's sweets. However, I wanted to see if there were ANY changes with my cronic pain , inflammation and weight. So far I have noticed my pain levels ( I have Lupus, and a body full of osteoarthritis ) have gone down THANK GOD. However, I need to loose the weight. It's hard to do when I can barely walk. I'm going to give Berberine one more month..

I’ve always been a person who had a terrible addiction to sweets. I was diagnosed with diabetes in February with an A1c of 10.9. Since then I went to a low-carb diet that’s on its way to keto and now I am not controlled by sweets. I also make, low-carb desserts and eat them regularly but I can pass them if I want to. There’s some awesome keto baking cookbooks available on Amazon and there’s also some great fast and easy sweets recipes available freely on the Internet.
