The Dr. Berg Show LIVE - June 26, 2026
In a Nutshell
Dr. Berg stresses that most health issues stem from nutrient deficiencies, poor sleep, and over-reliance on medications or redefined diagnostic thresholds that push unnecessary drugs. Key fixes include high-dose vitamin D3 with magnesium and K2, magnesium for heart and nerve problems, boron and collagen for bones, and strict low-carb eating plus intermittent fasting to reverse insulin resistance and support liver, hormones, and growth hormone. Avoid sugar, seed oils, and most synthetic vitamins; use targeted supports like benfotiamine, alpha-lipoic acid, zinc carnosine, and TUDCA when specific conditions arise.

Dr. Berg opens the Q&A session with a standard medical disclaimer that anything shared is not intended to bypass a physician's advice. Steve manages the session and begins fielding questions from the audience.
Darlene asks about a painter experiencing heel inflammation. Dr. Berg suggests possible neurotoxicity from paint exposure. For peripheral neuropathy, he recommends benfotiamine and alpha-lipoic acid plus lowering carbohydrates, as the condition is often pre-diabetic. If the issue stems from toxicity rather than carbs, he advises avoiding oil-based paints that can penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream, liver, nervous system, and myelin.
Fan requires foot surgery for a plantar plate tear and already has osteoporosis. Current supplements include curcumin, fish oil, D3, and K2. Dr. Berg notes the definition of osteoporosis has changed, creating gray areas in diagnosis. For bone strength he recommends boron, magnesium, naturally high-calcium foods with trace minerals, and collagen (added to coffee or consumed directly) since a significant portion of bone is collagen. He strongly recommends taking at least 50,000 IUs of vitamin D3 with magnesium and K2 for three days before any surgery to improve outcomes.
Karen asks what to look for when buying DMSO. Dr. Berg advises choosing companies with good reviews. DMSO is a natural solvent used for inflammation and as a carrier to drive other substances into the body. He notes it penetrates skin rapidly; applying it to the foot allows tasting it within seconds as it reaches the nervous system.
