The MOST Important Video for Pregnant Women

[@am-harris7458]

I was born prematurely at 7 months in the early 1970s as a twin...was in an incubator for 6 weeks! Also, I was raised in the inner city and went to subpar public schools. I ended up graduating from Rutgers on the Dean's list; then went onto Seton Hall Law and graduated with 3.2 GPA. Subsequently, I passed both the NY and NJ bars (taken days apart) on the first try! The point I'm making is that, by all physical and environmental accounts, I should have been physically and mentally defective--but the Most High God saw different and supernaturally intervened in my life!🙏🏾🙇🏾‍♀️👼🏾

As an African living in the US this video has been eye opening. This man spent $250 on a book and so much money to get educated about the same things my indigenous aunties, uncles, cousins, grandparents and my village passed down to me as our culture, traditions and heritage. Its always funny when I hear in some Americans will refer to our indigenous ways of living as primitive while you have to spend a life time studying and buying all these expensive books just to come to the same conclusions and affirm our indigenous living ways. I feel so privileged to have a community that can pass down such wisdom to me, now I realize not everyone is as lucky as we are and its important to preserve those traditions.

My boyfriend introduced me to a healthy diet (and hatha yoga) at age 25. His siblings are naturopathic doctors and taught him about natural health. He never judged my cooking, just had a sort of 'learn by example' attitude. Every time I was at his house, it was like being on a retreat. The food was just so yummy and my body felt great! Slowly, I started buying more organic groceries and learned how to cook properly. It's amazing what a difference a nutritious diet makes to your life! I've never felt more in control of my own body and energetic than now (age 27). We're getting married next year, and I can't wait to raise kids with him living the health lifestyle he introduced me to. 🥰

I’m 33. I started eating healthy from day dot. My mum didn’t allow us to eat processed food very often. I was the only kid at school that didn’t get cake or muesli bars or packaged yummy things in their lunchbox. I was always very jealous of what other kids had. The only treats/junk we got was an ice cream or chocolate once a week on a Friday after school. I’m 175cm tall and have been around 63kg (give or take a kg or two) since I stopped growing at 14 - and quickly returned to pre-pregnancy weight after I had both of my kids. I’ve never been overweight, in fact, I’ve always been quite lean and athletic, I don’t have any chronic health conditions and don’t take any medication. My siblings are the same. I’ve also got all 32 teeth and only ever 1 filling. I’m very grateful for my parents teaching me how to eat properly as I never had to unlearn bad habits. Now I’m teaching my kids how to eat properly and look after their bodies. My kids love fresh fruit and veggies. I never had a problem with picky eating as I gave them all the fruit and veg when they started eating as babies. Healthy eating starts in childhood. As a parent, I believe it’s one of the most important things you can teach your children. Love your videos Dr.Berg!

I only purchased the £10 version initially however the extended versions ranging between £25-£35 with an extra 200+ pages are on my to-buy list as I realised I wanted to re-read the first one sometime in the future, however an extended version would add immensely to the already-priceless value of the initial works so that’s what I’ll be buying in the near future :)

Thank you Dr Berg! Fortunately before I was trying to get pregnant I did an entire nutritional analysis to know what my body needed or was deficient in & for about 6 months I worked hard to handle & ready my body & PREPARE for the nutrient drain of having a GROWING LIVING BEING inside you & we got pregnant almost immediately & it was a very smooth & joyous pregnancy because of this. NO morning sickness & felt lots of energy. I did end up having to have a C section which unfortunately required some drugs & medications which I know CREATED nutrient DEFICIENCIES & HORMONE IMBALANCE which is what they call & LABEL POST PARTUM DEPRESSION. I think women need to REALLY understand that POST PARTUM DEPRESSION etc. is really a HUGE HORMONE DROP or shift & NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES & can be HELPED by getting the proper & adequate VITAMINS & MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS NOT just through their food but EXTRA SUPPLEMENTATION. There really aren't a whole lot of cases where people overdosed on VITAMINS or MINERALS. It was the ONE thing that SAVED me & got me THROUGH it NOT the DRUGS or MEDICATIONS. The anti depressants can often make it WORSE because it artificially CREATES MORE NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES. 💙

Excellent video doc I wish that more pregnant women would take this infomation more seriously because health problems in children have risen dramatically in recent years, its absolutely foolish and selfish for people to continue a bad lifestyle that could cause their child's wellbeing and quality of life to be at risk. I've heard that adding Himalayan salt and sodium bicarbonate into soil can help remineralise and alkalinise the soil. You can mix it into distilled water and water the soil with that, that way you can be sure that you're not adding acidity back into the soil through bad water.

Wonderful advice! I'm 21 weeks pregnant atm and made my doctor very nervous initially when i said i wasn't taking any prenatals and had no interest in folic acid supplements.. As a biochemist (mineral therapist) my priorities where on the minerals you mentioned to produce the vitamins i needed. And for folic acid, well i prefer natures version - folate! The one we evolved to uptake and utilise. So i was getting all my folate from growing pea microgreens and getting this dietarily. The blood results showed perfect levels, nice high folate and solid iron levels - nothing to worry about I Followed none of the mainstream advice on pregnancy nutrition (and like you mentioned, most doctors have a massive blind-spot for nutrition!) Focused on lots of grass fed meat and fats, heaps of microgreens and supplemented only with biochemic minerals / biochemic trace elements.

I ate no enriched foods, nor dairy, soy and corn and my 3rd (boy) is incredibly smart, functions much higher than a 3yo. In fact he is bumped to a class for 5yo’s bc he is so smart, coordinated and can intuitively figure things out. He also didn’t have the food issues my twins did.

It took a while to get up to her 1/2 cup of brewer’s yeast but eventually I drank this every day and so did my husband.

I was vegan with my first born. He was born at 37 weeks, too small for his gestational age, and went on to develop eczema, chronic diarrhea, and vomiting. He was severely ill for 2.5 years while I breastfed him on a plant-based diet. Here's the kicker, he also fully healed with a plant-based diet. I worked hard on healing his gut. We eliminated all grains, except pseudo-grains, most legumes, high sugar fruits, all processed foods, nuts, and other changes. We ate only low sugar fruits, sprouted legumes and pseudo-grains, ate some selected seeds, and lots of vegetables. We did simple remedies to heal his gut. He fully healed. This diet also happened to heal me and I went on to have a second completely healthy pregnancy and baby. All on a plant-based diet. I believe that the biggest lack in the vegan culture is that there is no talk or knowledge on how to heal the gut on a vegan diet. But it is possible to heal the gut and disease with a vegan diet. And I personally believe this healing is superior to doing it with meat. Just wanted to share an opposing success story for balance. No judgment if anyone chooses a different route.

He made videos on how to help with loss. Also his few videos on pregnancy should help avoid troubles in the future. All best of luck.

This is why I researched while Iwas pregnant, what to eat and not eat, and at what point certain vitamins are needed to help growth in different areas (eyes, limbs etc). I was all over it lol. Thank God!

Do you have any tips/resources? I’m searching as we speak!

When building compost for next season's garden try including a layer or three of ocean kelp if you are lucky enough to find. You may find you now own a magic garden which will produce companion plants placed tight against one another. two 4'x8' raised beds will provide for a small family without endless hours invested in care and attention.

Hi Dr. Berg! Thank you for this information! It’s so important for pregnant women to eat a healthy-balanced diet. I see some pregnant women eating junk food and wonder how much this is going to affect their baby long-term. Gladly for me, my daughter is very healthy and I think a lot of this has to do with my healthy lifestyle when I was pregnant.

Dr. Berg, I was put on soy-based formula as a baby. I’m allergic to soy now. You mentioned that you shouldn’t give a baby an endocrine disrupter that early. Are you going to make a video about the effects of that? I’m curious whether some of the things I struggle with today stem from that. I had a partial hysterectomy because of fibroids and intramuscular endometriosis at 34. I was in full-blown menopause at 45. I have asthma and psoriasis.

[@1Hope4All]

It is absolutely the soy you were given as a child. That soy formula crap should be taken off the market!

[@mariamtee]

@@1Hope4All my friend has a degree in Chinese medicine. She strongly advocates against soy milk and tofu blaming their use on hormonal imbalances causing everything from breast cancer to uterine cancer to ovarian cysts and fibroids.

[@yahuahsgirl]

@@mariamtee That's especially good to know considering I used soy milk to make my pudding yesterday. With all the carbs in it, I'm probably just going to let it go since cream is 0 carbs. I've also got some almond milk, thankfully.

This video has one of the most interesting topics that I have ever heard in regards to nutrition! It is so interesting how everything start since pregnancy and the importance of all of the micronutrients not just folic acid! Hopefully we hear more about pregnancy and nutrition for kids, it would be amazing to learn this from you! I can’t imagine my life without this channel and Dr Eric Berg, the amount of things that I have learnt and proved to be truth is huge, in addition to all the improvements that I have seen in my health! Thank you!

[@TillyGBR2024]

I am in the early stages of pregnancy for 3 weeks now I have had constant pain and nausea. I usually eat very well and I am a fan of Dr Eric. Since the nausea I cannot eat healthy and are eating beige foods only. It is do hard to switch the brain, especially when pregnant. Healthy foods are making me feel sick and I can't stand up and cook anymore. I feel like I've been hit by a bus.

[@amandajones2961]

How did you make out?!

[@sarabrooksloveandlaughter2654]

I was 19 when I quit 2 fast food jobs (where I ate all that fast food & sodas all the time), plus TV dinners, etc. Then, to finally reading my first health book at 20, then getting chickens (eating their eggs) & starting our first greenhouse & garden & starting our health journey. Started P-90-X at 21 & found Weston A. Price's information too. At that point I was obsessed with nutrition! I was 29 when I started keto & found Dr. Berg shortly after that in the same year. Dr. Berg resonates with everything I've ever found on my own & has an amazing amount more wonderful information! Dr. Berg ...and Karen, are the best! 🙏💝 I'm now living on my own land, fully off grid (on a well & home done solar system) with my wonderful husband and 2 children (8 & almost 4), all healthy keto, we planted a "food forest", & have chickens & multiple greenhouses! Starting our own nursery! 😁🌳🌱
