Jim Heid good morning Dr B you are the best with information you provide wish
you were my doc do you think berberine is effective as a
sugar supplement
so this is the comment that I made earlier about berberine
berberine is not a sugar supplement I have recently transitioned over to
Palatinose based on some advice by one of our very smart viewers and
because I can't find the right kind of Palatinose I started trying monk fruit
and monk fruit is great at the end of the day you have to ask
how much you should be teasing those sweet receptors in your palate anyway
and maybe start calming that down one of the best ways to do that
here I am 62 years old and I've struggled with a sweets addiction
for at least 55 of those years and have struggled many times trying to back
off go cold turkey and obviously I haven't totally gone cold
turkey forever but I've got it pretty much under control
and one of the key reasons the key tool I just discovered about two years ago
Gymnema Gymnema sylvestre and we've got several
different videos on Gymnema for those of you who are also trying to
deal with a sweets addiction take a look at Gymnema and the
brand doesn't matter I get a big bag of it
every couple of months I just get it on amazon
Gymnema silvestre it's a powder I put it in my coffee in the morning
I also take a Gymnema pill Gymnema actually acts
on sweets receptors in your palate your tongue
which is I think mostly in the back and the side it acts some
sweeps receptors in the gut and it acts on central sweeps receptors up in your
brain as well I believe Dave Murphy I'm sorry is there a
difference between Gymnema leaf powder and Gymnemas of Australia no the
Gymnemas of Australia is the complete name of the genus and species I
think and gymnema leaf powder is just
the dried leaves of the Gymnema sylvestre plant
which have been ground up and that's what I put in my coffee
and that's what usually what you're going to get if you take a capsule it's
going to be a capsule full of the dried powder
why wait for a disease and hope for a cure I used to be an ER
doc my name is Ford Brewer I quit ER after a few years because it
was just so frustrating most of the things
bringing people into the ER are things that should have been
prevented including heart attack stroke number one cause of
death number one cause of permanent disability
people think that you're just gonna have those and that they're not predictable
both of those are wrong they are predictable
and you don't have to have them usually it's lifestyle lifestyle is more
important than supplements and even prescription drugs
and even stents and surgery but the current times
are tough major financial impact with the
lockdowns that most states have been going through
we've been working on a way to make this much more affordable with a subscription
process and that's exactly what we're announcing
today we've got 2 levels one is the Silver membership where you
get access to our courses a private webinar each month and access
to our supplement store and supplement recommendations and
prescription or I would suggest even more so the Gold

Libre and find out what your blood sugar metabolism is doing on a daily
basis and you can get a lab order for
inflammation OGTT and insulin survey you can also get a 30-minute one-on-one
