Eric Berg, popularly known as Dr. Berg or โThe Knowledge Doc,โ is a nutritionist and chiropractor specializing in weight loss and alternative health care. He has published more than 6,000 videos and amassed 13 million followers on YouTube, and has trained more than 2,500 doctors and health care practitioners in how diet can impact your health.
โWhen you reduce carbohydrates, it then forces your body to go after your own fat as fuel. So for weight loss, itโs great. And for other things, itโs good too,โ says Dr. Berg.
In this episode, we discuss Dr. Bergโs approach to health, why he advocates for a keto diet and intermittent fasting, and his thoughts on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary.
โIf we are going to make some changes, we have to, first of all, make people aware of these hidden ingredients and start to get them out of your diet,โ he says. โThey find these loopholes and they try to cheat the system. And itโs called โorganic,โ but is it really organic?โ
