My experience with "Nature's Ozempic" and my BIG MISTAKE - Berberine

not too long ago I started getting comments that I was looking pretty lean and I had not changed anything if anything I was probably drinking a little too much red wine and I myself noticed that my midsection was more defined and much leaner than it's ever been now I work out I eat pretty healthy but I was surprised to see my results and I was racking my mind okay what if what have I changed what's different and that's when I realized at that time that it had been about three months since I started taking berberine in this video I'm going to share with you what berberine is benefits you may realize what my experience has been potential side effects you should be aware of and tips you want to stay for the tips these are things I learned after the fact but either way I got great benefits this video is going to be no frills and if you're new here my name is Rachel I create really to the point videos on things I'm loving and learning so if you like topics like this one be sure to subscribe and hit the notification Bell so you don't miss an update okay so what is berberine people call it Nature's ozempic but it's more like Nature's metformin metformin is a commonly prescribed medication to help treat things like PCOS and type 2 diabetes it improves insulin sensitivity and helps manage blood sugar that's what metformin does and berberine is quite similar but it's a natural compound that can be extracted from several plants for instance turmeric Barberry organ grape some of these things I've never heard of but anyways berberine can be extracted from some of these plants and berberine has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine and aerobatic medicine but how does it work how does berberine work one of the main actions is it activates an enzyme called ampk that stands for activated protein canase and ampk plays a key role in regulating metabolism and energy levels studies show that berberine can decrease insulin resistance help your body break down sugar in your cells increase beneficial bacteria in your gut and of course there's more but those are the big ones and according to Healthline preliminary studies suggest that berberine may have benefits against depression cancer infections fatty liver and heart failure as it's a potent antioxidant and it's anti-inflammatory so you may be like me and just be kind of curious hey maybe Birdman can you know improve my metabolism and then you find out that there's these endless benefits many of which there's still room to be studied on this but you you may try taking berberine for one reason and stay for another so what is my experience been I've had no side effects and I'm going to share with you what some of the side effects could be and I really did not notice much at all until I got those comments hey you're looking lean and I was like what am I doing differently because I've been following the same routine for a long time now and given I'm a study of one maybe something else that I'm not attributing it to maybe it's I don't know being consistent for so long the results just keep coming I don't know but I'm convinced berberine has played a part in it you know I still have problem areas of course but I definitely think berberine has played a part in this experiences others have had is reduce bloating with berberine it helps with PCOS so even on Reddit there's forums where people are sharing that berberine has really helped them with PCOS it helps stabilize blood sugar which you stabilize your blood sugar you're basically stabilizing your Cravings it's helped with weight loss of course improve cholesterol and then even energy levels people have shared but then on the other hand some people have experienced bad side effects including nausea gas bowel distress so constipation or the opposite of constipation but everybody is so different and that's why a lot of times with supplements you know what may work for me what may work for you may not work you know for the other person so you know I'm sharing my I experience as a study of one but then in my research coming across what other people have noticed too and then what's been cited as benefits now let's get into the tips so if you decide if you've done your own research these are some tips you're going to want to be aware of first of all be selective with your brand I've noticed in some forms people would say that they started with one brand it worked for them they went to a cheaper one it didn't work and then they went back to you know the original brand they went to I'm a big believer in the thorn supplement brand you know when I when I purchased a product it's pretty reasonably priced and I just know that I'm getting what I pay for so I've been taking Thorn this whole time it's recommended to take 500 milligrams before your meal and when I first started taking this because it wasn't detailed on the thorn label it wasn't detailed to take it before the my meal I was actually taking it with or after my meal like I do with other supplements and it still worked but you're probably going to get better results by taking it before your meal so learn from my mistake and then the other very important tip and I know with any Supple member like consult with your doctor first but especially with this one and especially if you're on medications you definitely want to connect with your doctor first and before combining it with medications and just making sure that it's the right fit for you if you have any other um things that they you got to be careful about so that is my no frills run down on berberine it's something that you know when my friends are looking at what they can do to maybe lose some some extra weight that they've been adding on you know this is one of the things I get so excited to talk about and so is why I figured it's I figured it's time to cover in a video so with that I hope you like this one and I hope to see you next time
