    09/18/2026 | 1h 28 mins.
    Are the current vitamin D guidelines giving you the full picture?

    Errors with the vitamin D guidelines were exposed in 2014, yet the current vitamin D RDA remains around 600–1000 IU. Research challenging these guidelines has suggested that the actual vitamin D dosage needed is closer to 8895 IU per day, but this has not been adopted into current guidelines.
     
    Our bodies can produce significant amounts of vitamin D3 from sun exposure, yet most people don’t get enough sun. The need for vitamin D also increases with obesity and certain chronic or autoimmune conditions. Adding to the confusion, vitamin D blood levels don’t necessarily tell the whole story about vitamin D activity within the cells, and there continues to be debate around optimal blood levels.
     
    Vitamin D cofactors are crucial for proper vitamin D function in the body. Sometimes, a cofactor deficiency could be the cause of vitamin D deficiency symptoms. Magnesium and vitamin K2 work closely with vitamin D, and higher vitamin D intake can increase the need for these nutrients. Zinc is another important cofactor.
     
    When taking 6000–10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily, it’s beneficial to also take 100 mcg of vitamin K2 and 20 mg of zinc, along with adequate magnesium.

    Drinking cloves in coffee is one of the easiest ways to get the health benefits of cloves. Not only does it intensify the flavor of your coffee, but it can also provide significant health benefits.

    Eugenol from cloves typically supports the upper portion of the digestive tract because the vast majority of this compound doesn’t make it past the liver. It can be beneficial against H. pylori because it survives stomach acid.

    Research has shown that cloves have the following benefits:

    • Reduces dental pain
    • Has antimicrobial properties
    • Supports liver health
    • Has anti-inflammatory properties
    • Has antifungal properties
    • Fights ulcers

    Coffee has its own benefits and supports healthy blood glucose levels.

    When it comes to cloves, less is more. Around 1 to 3 cloves in your coffee is sufficient. To make clove coffee:

    1. Crush 1 clove.
    2. Add it to your coffee and wait 2 minutes.
    3. Drink!

    The Real Cause of Hot Flashes and Night Sweats (Not Menopause)

    09/16/2026 | 6 mins.
    Most people think that hot flashes and night sweats are simply typical menopause symptoms, but what if that’s not actually true? Uncover what causes hot flashes and night sweats so you can finally address the real problem.

    If hot flashes and night sweats are just normal menopause symptoms, why do some women experience them before menopause, and others never experience them at all?

    Hot flashes and night sweats are not the same. Hot flashes are related to the speed of a hormonal drop. A fast dip in estrogen can signal the hypothalamus, which has a thermostat that regulates body temperature. Stress can also contribute to hot flashes.

    Genistein may be beneficial in blocking the receptors in the brain that trigger hot flashes and night sweats. Adequate magnesium levels are also important. 

    Night sweats can last significantly longer than hot flashes, sometimes lasting up to an hour. Night sweats often happen between 3 and 4 a.m. and are more related to blood sugar than hormones. Addressing blood sugar, avoiding snacking at night, following a low-carb diet, and practicing intermittent fasting can help.

    Numbness and Tingling in Your Feet? It's Not Your Nerves

    09/15/2026 | 6 mins.
    Numbness in feet is not a nerve problem. Discover the most common root cause of peripheral neuropathy, the connection between high blood sugar and tingling feet, and how diet can help relieve the symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

    5:34 Benfotiamine benefits 

    I’m going to share a natural remedy you may find helpful if you’re dealing with numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in your feet.

    Your tingling feet aren’t actually a nerve problem. If you have high blood sugar, there’s an increased demand for vitamin B1 because vitamin B1 is needed for sugar metabolism in the body.

    High blood sugar means the tiny blood vessels around the nervous system aren’t getting enough energy. A vitamin B1 deficiency can mean low energy and lactic acid buildup.
    Benfotiamine, a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1, can help with tingling and numbness in the feet. Take the recommended dose 3 to 4 times per day. 

    Changing your diet is key to addressing the root cause of peripheral neuropathy. A low-carb diet can provide the body with ketones as an alternative fuel, helping properly fuel the neurons despite insulin resistance.

    Peripheral neuropathy can also be linked to high vitamin B6 levels or low magnesium levels.

    The One Deficiency Behind Dry Eyes, Dry Mouth, and Bumpy Arms

    09/14/2026 | 6 mins.
    Your dry skin, dry eyes, and dry mouth could all be caused by one vitamin deficiency. Discover the key nutrient that not only supports eye health but could also be key to getting rid of rough, bumpy skin.

    👉 Download Dr. Berg's Free Daily Health Routine: https://drbrg.co/45qtO07
    Just so you know, my full line of high-quality supplements is available on Amazon — search Dr. Berg Supplements. 

    0:00 What causes dry mouth, dry eyes, and dry skin?
    0:25 Vitamin A deficiency
    0:54 Vitamin A and eye health 
    1:27 Vitamin A and skin health
    1:51 Beta-carotene vs. vitamin A
    2:10 Retinol
    2:34 Vitamin A foods 
    3:19 Bile deficiency and vitamin A absorption 
    4:19 Low hydrochloric acid and bile deficiency 
    5:38 Zinc deficiency and vitamin A deficiency symptoms 
    6:13 Zinc foods 

    Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. It helps maintain the protective barriers throughout your body, including the mucus layer of the eye and the lipid layer that protects your skin.

    Vitamin A deficiency can lead to dry, rough skin and changes in the eyes. You may even develop rough, bumpy skin or corns on your feet.

    Many people mistake beta-carotene for vitamin A, but these two compounds are not the same. Retinol is the active form of vitamin A, while beta-carotene is the precursor, and most of it does not convert into the active form.

    You need adequate bile and gallbladder function for vitamin A to work. Bile helps extract fat-soluble vitamins from the food you eat. If you've had your gallbladder removed, or have a bile deficiency or a fatty liver, it could be the reason you’re deficient in vitamin A.

    Focus on increasing foods high in vitamin A rather than taking a supplement if you’re deficient.
