Let’s talk about the top foods that deplete nutrients. You need to be aware of both sides—foods that provide nutrients and foods that lead to nutrient deficiencies.
Limit or cut out these things that deplete you of nutrients:
1. Raw egg whites
2. Refined sugars
3. Refined grains
4. Alcohol
5. Caffeinated beverages
6. Trypsin inhibitors (soy, grains, beans, nuts, seeds, nightshades)
7. Tannins (tea)
8. Excess calcium or consuming a lot of dairy without enough leafy greens
9. Oxalates (spinach, beet greens, almonds, almond flour, chocolate, Swiss chard, grains, beans)
10. Phosphoric acid (soda)
11. Phytates (cereal)
Consuming these things can deplete you of important nutrients, including:
• Biotin
• Vitamin B1
• Zinc
• Magnesium
• Vitamin C
• Certain amino acids
• Fat-soluble vitamins
• Calcium
• Iron
• Vitamin B3
• Chromium
• Copper
• Manganese
• Vitamin D
These nutrient deficiencies can lead to a myriad of symptoms. One of the most common nutrient deficiencies is magnesium, which has a lot to do with energy production. Learn more about magnesium and energy in my other videos.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps increase your awareness of the top foods that deplete nutrients. I’ll see you in the next video.
Dr Berg, I appreciate your content. Love the counter to common misconception. Any thoughts on hyperthyroidism?
Look up his videos on that.
Hi, can you talk about drinking water before and after a meal? The general process of it is well known but it would be nice if you have something new or/and interesting/uncommon things to add.
Thank you DR BERG!!!!!!!!!
I really appreciate the help and the amount of time you spent to get the good stuff out I been on keto for more than 5 years and I feel that I gained years back I was 245 pounds now I am 196 pounds still trying to lose the last few pounds to make it to 190😊😊 thank you thank you
Well done, keep going.

Dr. Berg, you’re KING of all nutrition, your knowledge is the best in my book of all nutrition!!!! Love your content, Doc!!!!
I appreciate your comment! Thank you so much!
Exactly. I know my coffee consumption wrecked my electrolyte and vitamin levels. Only one cup a day now. It was just like drinking too much water and dying from lack of sodium. I’m on the path to recovery now and feeling good with that D3👍🏼
I love my morning coffee. Two cups. Don’t drink it during the day. About a month ago I started drinking mushroom coffee. No afternoon crash. Good benefits.
@Terry SeufertHow is the taste of mushroom coffee?
@Terry SeufertI don’t like to ruin the taste. No point. Just take lions mane and cordyceps by itself
All you need to do is offset the caffeine intake with hydration and electrolytes. A good rule of thumb is 2:1 water intake around the time of having a coffee. And for myself I take homemade sodium pills, potassium and magnesium with my water. Just a couple times a day, not with every glass. Take care.
This just happened to me when I ran out of my half caff K cups and was using regular caff K cups. Took electrolyte mix, more vit D3, and Vit B1 after my pulse rate was high and I was having alot of trouble sleeping. Last night I had the best nights sleep.
Thankyou for doing this one. People need to be aware of these things.
Be great if you could do a part 2 – on how to prepare or take each of these foods to reduce their mineral depleting effects. Am thinking of things like boil spinnach and eat with yogurt to neutralise the oxalate. But, hey.. you’ll know this much better than I.
Keep it up Dr. Berg , you are doing a service that is beneficial, no matter who is giving you a hard time about it ! 👍
Thanks for your support!
I watch a lot of Dr. Berg’s videos and implement many of them into my dietary habits, but it’s frustrating and confusing when things are GOOD for you in one video and BAD for you in the next. 🥴
It’s just a case of not mixing those foods in the same meal.
exactly my point, maybe he wants to please all types of audience
Any time you constrain yourself to one source, you run the risk of consuming biased information or even worse content just for the sake of getting views. Broadening the information source would be the solution. Normally YT does not recommend you many new channels if you keep watching every video from a single channel. The workaround would be to directly search for a specific topic and watch other channels. Then the algorithm will start promoting those new channels to you later on even if you don’t subscribe to them.
I just commented on the same thing. He has told us to have seeds, nuts and beet greens in other videos
I’m really very confused. I thought beans or grains were good for you. 😒😔
An astute topic from you, Dr. Berg.
You cover every aspect of health.
We are all so fortunate to have you in our lives. ❤

Thank you Dr Berg🐱👍🏿
Something good I learnt thanks for the sharing and caring God bless you
Nuts & seeds ? What should we eat instead
Not giving up beans! I love so many and feel better.
So basically…there’s nothing left to eat.
@sydney johnson soaking the nuts take away many oxalates. our elders always told to eat almonds soaked and then skin removed. now we know why.
I think that having a good diet full of healthy fats and proteins keeps you safe from other unhealthy food.
It’s all about how healthy your base diet is.
U cover health topics from every possible angles and we’re so blessed to have u around Dr Berg 🙏
Appreciate your support!
@Dr. Eric Berg DC wait so we dont eat nuts or soya or beans…
@Dr. Eric Berg DC how much pf the vitamins you describe are removed by nuts, grains and soya beans because many fitness personalities live on a bean, nut and grain diet and so on and they max out on all their vitamin needs. So are they completley bad for you.
Dr. Berg, thank you for those important informations ! It helped me a lot ! I’m on Keto and IF since July, and I’m taking your supplements.
Please keep the excellent work up !!👍👍❤
Great video Dr Berg.- I will need to watch this a few times over and make me notes. It is very important to know these things.- I just wonder if a regular balanced diet would make up for the times we eat/ drink foods/ drinks that deplete some nutriens. This was a question.- Next, I wonder if it makes sense if you were to make a video where you talk about how a one can consume a balanced diet and how to balance the foods that deplete serten nutriens by consuming a serten food in a serten timespan.
The fact that we get free medical videos on YouTube by Dr. Berg is truly a gift. 👏👏👏
I’m glad you’re so appreciative of that.
I greatly appreciate your videos! I know you generally recommend against wheat/grains. Does this include organic wheat that is freshly milled at home, not sifted, baked the same day, and promptly consumed?
Thank you sir, the points regarding caffeine and the tannins in drinking too much tea was an eye opener for me and something I need to fine tune. I am at my desk 10+ hours a day so I drink coffee and tea all day. Kind of exciting there is always room for continuous improvement and fine tuning.

Raw egg white* please correct it
Thanks for helping me lose 65 pounds as a 59 year old who never could lose weight. From 235 to 170 pounds Dr. Berg
Dr Berg, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us. Do you have your own formulated vitamins? There are so many on the market, and it is confusing, to say the least.
