Dr. Eric Berg: Empowering Health Through Education and Innovation

Dr. Eric Berg, D.C., is a board-certified chiropractor and globally recognized health educator known for his work in nutritional science, natural health, and weight management through Healthy Keto® and intermittent fasting. With over three decades of experience, Dr. Berg has dedicated his career to helping individuals understand how their bodies work and how to support them with practical strategies for better health.

A Journey from Chiropractic to Global Health Education

After earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 1988, Dr. Berg maintained a private practice in Alexandria, Virginia, for more than 30 years. During this time, he worked with over 40,000 patients, including senior government officials and medical professionals, using natural methods such as nutritional therapy and low-carb dietary strategies. He also delivered health talks and seminars at key U.S. institutions, including the FBI and the Library of Congress.

 

Transitioning from clinical practice, Dr. Berg shifted his focus to public health education. He served as an associate professor at Howard University and began producing online content to make complex health topics more accessible. Since launching his YouTube channel in 2008, Dr. Berg has published more than 6,000 educational videos on topics such as insulin resistance, liver health, fasting, and fat metabolism. His content, translated into multiple languages, now reaches over 30 million subscribers and receives over 200 million views per month.

YouTube: Dr. Berg’s Daily Health Classroom

At the core of Dr. Berg’s educational efforts is his YouTube channel, where he shares free daily videos that help people improve their health step by step. His channel has become one of the most trusted and far-reaching wellness platforms on the internet.

 

Each video breaks down topics in a simple, engaging way — from understanding how hormones impact weight, to practical tips on fasting, to recognizing nutrient deficiencies. Whether you're managing a chronic condition or simply striving for better energy and focus, Dr. Berg’s YouTube channel offers daily learning that can make a real difference in your life.

Innovations in Nutritional Science

Dr. Berg is the creator of the Healthy Keto® diet, a refined approach to the ketogenic diet that emphasizes nutrient-dense, whole foods to optimize metabolic function and overall health. He is also a strong advocate for intermittent fasting, which he presents as a powerful, natural tool for weight management, energy, and longevity.

Beyond his online videos, Dr. Berg has authored several influential books, including The Healthy Keto Plan and The 7 Principles of Fat Burning. He has conducted thousands of seminars on health-related topics and trained healthcare professionals around the world in his methods.

Commitment to Holistic Health and Sustainability

Dr. Berg’s passion for health also extends into his personal life. On his farm, he conducts soil research to grow nutrient-rich produce and maintain healthy livestock — reinforcing his belief in the power of food as medicine. This hands-on approach to wellness mirrors the principles he teaches in his videos and books.

He is also the founder of the Ultra-Processed Free Initiative (UPFI), a charitable movement designed to raise awareness about the dangers of ultra-processed foods and promote real, wholesome nutrition through public education and outreach.

 

Why Dr. Berg’s Work Stands Out

  • Daily Videos = Daily Progress: His consistent uploads keep you learning and growing, one insight at a time.

  • Science Made Simple: Complex health topics are explained in everyday language — no medical degree required.

  • Holistic Approach: He focuses not just on weight loss, but on energy, mood, hormones, sleep, and brain health.

  • No Gimmicks, Just Guidance: He empowers you to take control of your health through smart, informed choices.

How to Learn More and Stay Connected

If you're ready to take your health into your own hands, start by subscribing to his channel and watching a few videos per week — or even daily. Small changes, when understood clearly, can lead to big transformations.
