The Dr. Berg Show LIVE - January 16, 2026
In a Nutshell
Dr. Berg's Q&A emphasizes low-carb/keto diets, intermittent fasting, and key supplements like vitamin D (high doses pre-surgery or for autoimmunity), potassium/magnesium for blood pressure balance, selenium/zinc for Hashimoto's, and NAC for mucus/phlegm to address root causes of issues like dandruff, psoriasis, PCOS, and insulin resistance. Morning lack of appetite signals healthy ketosis/fat-burning; avoid carb-loading before surgery, prioritize raw probiotics (sauerkraut), and build mental willpower for dietary consistency to prevent mood crashes from carbs. Aging doesn't cause fatigue or slowed metabolism—mitochondrial health via fitness and ketones does; insulin injections don't reverse diabetes, but reducing carbs does.

Welcome back everyone. We're here with another Q&A. Anything that I say is not meant to diagnose or replace your medical care. Check with your doc before implementing all the suggestions that we're going to talk about. With that being said, let's dive in and answer as many questions as we can. We're going to set a record. Welcome world to Friday.
Should I take sea salt if I have high blood pressure? Check with your doc. One strategy is to increase your potassium because potassium and sodium are in a ratio. You could be low on potassium and then you could also be salt sensitive. Just by adding more potassium, you can balance that out versus cutting down excessive amounts of sodium because as soon as you do, you start creating problems with muscle fatigue, weakness, adrenal stress. We need sodium. Increase your potassium and maybe even magnesium and see what happens.
What's the best way to resolve heavy flaking dandruff? That's usually a problem in your gut. Skin issues are related to your gut. You probably need more microbiome. You need to change the diet. You might be consuming too many carbohydrates. That will affect the gut, feed more pathogens, and actually make the sebaceous gland, not just in your skin, but in the scalp, be oily and flaky and create all sorts of issues. Go for that versus just doing something topically.
