Berberine: Type 2 Diabetes Game Changer

I read this randomized controlled study "Effect of berberine administration on metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity, and insulin secretion" that showed that"Administration of berberine leads to remission of metabolic syndrome and decreases in waist circumference, SBP, triglycerides, and total insulin secretion, with an increase in insulin sensitivity". So, it appears that berberine doesn't increase insulin secretion. Another study showed that "Berberine induces GLP-1 secretion through activation of bitter taste receptor pathways".

If you mix it with Metformin there is a synergist effect, especially if mixed with tummeric and sage, and can lower blood sugar very low. It also becomes cardiotoxic if mixed with statins.

My mother has been taking Berberine for a few years to help with her cholesterol levels. I am really looking forward to hearing the rest of this series. Thank you so much Dr Been!!!

I tested as prediabetic twice in 2021 and my dr just dismissed that i had all the symptoms of insulin resistance, so i began taking bererine on my own (since i wasnt put on any pharmas to help) and its helped a lot.

Thank you so much for this lecture Dr. Been!! I am a diabetes management coach and i I have shared this video with my diabetes support groups totaling 90K viewers 😁 this is going to be so helpful for them!!!

As an antibiotic it is a mild antibiotic, but the value in it is it destroys the biofilm making other antibiotics more effective

Would be nice to see a Metformin vs Berberine deep dive as a future lecture

You are such a Great Teacher 👍👍👍

Dr Been you are a truly wonderful Researcher and Doctor. Your help to humanity is beyond words. Thank You!
