In this empowering and insightful episode, we sit down with the legendary Dr. Eric Berg, one of the world’s most recognized educators in the keto and intermittent fasting space. With over 28 million YouTube subscribers and content translated into 20+ languages, Dr. Berg has helped millions transform their health through what he calls Healthy Keto — a clean, nutrient-dense, and sustainable approach to low-carb living.
Although he’s never been to Norway, Dr. Berg shares a special connection to Scandinavia — his family is originally from Sweden, and he’s a big fan of Norwegian fish for its purity and omega-3 power. This episode brings a personal touch as we connect across continents to explore the science, the myths, and the mindset behind real, lasting health.
Together, we dive into the science and nuance behind keto — starting with Dr. Berg’s own transformation as a 28-year-old struggling with fatigue, weight gain, and multiple health issues. From there, we explore everything from cholesterol myths and hormone health, to why some people regain weight, and how keto impacts the gut, stress levels, and heart health.
Many women in perimenopause or menopause struggle with hormone imbalances and in this episode, Dr. Berg shares why supporting testosterone is actually essential during this time. As he explains, a significant portion of estrogen during menopause is converted from testosterone — meaning that helping the body maintain healthy testosterone levels can support overall hormonal balance, energy, and fat loss.
Whether you're keto-curious or a long-time low-carb advocate, this conversation is full of powerful takeaways — especially for women navigating perimenopause and hormonal changes.
