Dr. Eric Berg
His fancy marketing strategy has nothing to do with the results
I visited Dr. Eric Berg’s clinic after watching his tons of YouTube videos and reviews where he talks about health and nutrition.
I was intimidated by how he presented the entire thing in the video, so I wanted to try it.
Dr. Berg also pitched about a free consultation in his videos. So, there was no way to ignore such an opportunity.
He runs The Health and Wellness Center in Alexandria. He takes every measure that is unethical to get clients, which is why he flaunts the free consultation.
It is just baited to attract customers, and once they are inside his center, he goes beyond limits for selling his products.
He pressurizes customers to pay for overpriced products with close to no effect. His treatment programs are designed only to benefit him and not the other party.
They have even monitored their reviews online and paid for posting fake feedback.
This is all because they know that only the positive review can fight the negative comments of scammed customers.
He offers expensive treatment plans and does not offer a cancellation policy which is again a red flag.
If a company trusts its product and genuinely tries to help, it will at least provide a period to reconsider the decision.
However, in the case of Dr. Eric Berg, this provision is not available.
When I visited Dr. Eric Berg for the overweight issue, he asked me to carry the list of foods and supplements I had been taking.
I carried everything as instructed and reached the center on time.

They took my weight and blood pressure and made me wait more than an hour.
After an hour and a half, an assistant doctor observed my case and did a few tests.
After a few minutes, he started talking about my metabolic rate and all the general pieces of stuff I already knew. He further told me that stress was also one of the reasons for my obesity.
He made me pay $1400 for six sessions and was adamant about making the rest of the payment. I was not prepared for any purchases but couldn’t help.
Unfortunately, I could not visit them on the scheduled date and wanted to reschedule the sessions. They never did that.
I wanted a refund and made several attempts to call and email them the request. They ignored me every time.
I contacted the manager, and he reminded me that my agreement clearly stated that the amount was non-refundable. I tried to negotiate. That did not help either.
I filed my complaint with Better Business Bureau and Virginia’s Attorney General’s office.
After that, I received only a partial refund because I did not use their services and was pressured to purchase the plan.
Dr. Eric Berg is a scammer.
How can the above statement be true when Dr Berg doesn’t even Practice anymore?
I have watched Dr Beegs YT videos as well as purchase most every supplement his company produces and I must say the only
Scam I see is the one saying they went to his clinic and was scammed 1400… when In all honestly he doesn’t even practice in Chiropractic office anymore and does not have a physical office you can go and get treated. All is done via his videos or one or one but not physically. I would love to know the dates in which this “scam” took place
Also….
I’d like to add I have lost a ton of inches since watching Dr Bergs videos and no one is holding a gun to your head saying BUY THIS BUY THAT! it’s each individuals choice to purchase the supplements or not so all this scam stuff is lame in my opinion. If you don’t wanna buy it DONT! All You Yube videos are FREE! I’d say that’s a dang great deal and far from a scam!
A quack?! Why does he exert extra efforts to put up a vlog?
If your a quack n scammer, Eric berg n company should divert their efforts to good things that can be verified by licensed practising healthcare professional specialists along each ailment. Shame on u!
I am healthier today with understandings of what actually takes place In our bodies
All I can say is what has positively happened to me health wise due to learning from Dr Eric berg. I was nearing 60 and suffering from depression to fatty liver, overweight, hair loss and osteopenia.
Slowly I tackled every issue following Dr bergs protocols. I researched supplements and purchased them as shipping from USA was too much for me. I did however purchase in bulk some products from Dr berg. I preferred his juice powder, bile and shampoo and conditioner. The hair products are very nice and my hair follicles are growing back.
I of course have discernment and make choices for myself after researching other venues too.
Thanks to Dr Berg ????
Wow this is sad
I am a survivor of traumatic brain injury. which means i have all sorts of health issues and disabilities.
I’ve been seeing doctors and specialists for over 12 years, nearly weekly.
So I know a lot when it comes to what actually works and what doesnt….I know because i had to learn the hard way. Trusting mainstream doctors and their approaches- which only made my condition far worse.
Dr. Berg’s information is in line with everything i have found to work in my own recovery.
It amazes me that you went through the effort of making this website, while you are totally blind to the valuable life saving information that is being freely provided.
How sad.
Not a doctor
First off, “Dr.” Berg is not a doctor. Yes, he has a doctorate, but in chiropractic, which requires FAR less schooling and training than a medical doctor — who actually knows the human body inside and out.
A chiropractor walking around, calling themselves “Doctor” is like someone with a degree in English literature giving health advice. It makes no sense.
Eric Berg is a researcher, not a doctor. He gets his information from google, books, and pubmed. He has no access to any information that your average Joe can get.
His opinion on the Keto diet is just that, an opinion. If you’ve watched recent videos of Eric Berg, he looks gaunt, sickly, and unwell. He’s gotten incredibly thin. Long term ketogenic diets are very, very unhealthy. Short term is fine. They can help a wide variety of ailments. But long term is unbalanced, and silly.
Dr Berg is a SAINT.
Who cares that he’s a chiro and not an MD? He is helping people heal all around the world by educating us (for FREE) so who cares where his info comes from if it WORKS? The 5,000, 5 star reviews on google attests to the fact that he HELPS PEOPLE. 5000 people don’t lie.
No MD knows even a FRACTION of what he knows, and what he advises!! Nor are any MD’s I have ever met even remotely interested in nutritional therapies. When WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!
MD’s get minimal training in nutrition and will usually discredit any alternative practice in favor of the almighty chemical pill. Dont get me wrong, I am grateful to MD’s and drugs for life saving treatments in the case of accidents etc. But for degenerative diseases, the medical system is failing us everyday. The medical system was failing me too with all my aches, pains and health issues.
I am walking proof he knows what he is talking about. I am well again, my thyroid is stable, my hair stopped falling out. I have energy again, and I have no more brain fog. I am losing this belly fat and have no more gut pain or bloating.
No Drug, or MD has ever “cured” anything for me, but Dr. Berg and others before him that has practical, healthy advice HAS!! I don’t care what the haters say, I am well again because of this amazing man. I have nothing but respect for Dr.Berg.
On Point
If someone is complaining it’s typically because they are too lazy to take action with their own health. Dr. Berg knows what he is talking about and everything he says works perfectly. I haven’t bought any supplements but follow his instructions for eating and exercising. Seems the last review was by someone looking for free everything and a way not to put in the effort to make themselves healthy and blame someone for their lack of accountability and laziness, and at an attempt to get free everything. To the last review: Ive lost 12 pounds in 2 months and feel great, so stop with the excuses for staying obese!
My Dr Berg experience "and" opinion
I have watched a lot of his videos. He is one good speaker. He explains things well. Whether he is exaggerating things or not…who knows? The fact-checkers??, lol
Who fact checks the fact checkers, LOL
I like Dr Berg and enjoy his videos.
Not once in my life have I had a primary care or any specialist of any kind ever asked if or asked how I take natural vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, etc. Is he making a lot of money…yeah probably, but so is the Pharmaceutical companies
He is positive and I stated earlier…a great speaker
I will continue to buy his products
Dr. Eric Berg IS NOT A DOCTOR!
Eric Berg is not an MD, he is a Dr. of Chiropractic snake oil. So that should say it all. If you are stupid enough to by into a snake oil salesmen trying to use an upgraded massage degree to hawk herbs in pretty bottles, well then you should be parted with you money, Amerikans are just getting more stupider as the years roll by.
Dr. Eric Berg IS NOT A DOCTOR!
First of all, I am NOT an advocate of Scientology. I am in complete disagreement with it. Second of all, I am smart enough to know that Dr. Eric Berg’s endocrine related advise, coupled with nutrition, is sound as per my Endocrinologist. Third of all, his website clearly states the the “Dr.” in his title is restricted to his chiropractic credentials only. Third of all, whoever wrote this blog/ect. needs to learn how to spell. When we “BUY” something, we don not “by” something. Seriously, criticism about a scam, is unfounded. Just someone who is mean spirited and judgemental. If you take the time to read on his website, it clearly states that the “DR.” is strictly a title of chiropractic. Nothing else
Chiropractic trend
Reading reviews about Dr Berg hit home for me. I was new to the town where I live. I had severe neck pain and was unable to get in with a Dr right away. I googled chiropractors and called one that seemed to have good reviews. I called and said I desperately needed someone to work on my neck asap. They said “no problem! Come right away!” I sat in the waiting room for a very long time, and finally a girl called my name. She said she wanted to give me a tour of the office. So we walked through to office admiring the decor. She took me to a treatment room and gave me an invitation to a seminar being held the next week. I could see the dr following the seminar. That was it. By the time the seminar came around my neck pain was letting up, but I was curious about the seminar. The chiropractor gave a talk criticizing the medical industry and promoting his practice. After sitting in the waiting room for a long time, I was called back and a girl took X-rays. After another long wait, the dr finally came in. He showed me the X-rays and told me I had no curve in my neck (he could fix it) and I had a serious S-curve in my spine. He could see me every week for 12 months and would give me a wonderful discount off the regular price. For only $2400 dollars- paid today. I’ve had many back X-rays and injections in the past, and I’ve never had the conditions he diagnosed. I asked for a copy of my X-rays and I left. The bill for those two office visits came to over $400 and no one ever touched my neck. I started looking up reviews on other chiropractors and learned that this is a new trend that is taught in many chiropractic schools. Get the patient financially committed before offering any treatment. Even the office “tour” is part of that scheme. It’s an office visit, even though no one treats the problem you came in for.
Overcharged and denied refund on shipping
I have no review on the products he sells, just on the dishonest prices charged. I live in Canada and I ordered drberg’s products online. When I discovered that I was charged an incredible exchange rate on my credit card. I ordered close to $400 of products and the exchange added a $150 dollars to that price,..very dishonest, Shipping was an additional $30, but it wasn’t long before UPS was calling to ask for more money,..unreal! I texted dr. berg’s help line to receive a refund, which they gave me minus the shipping. They refused to give me the shipping refund even though I explained that I’m very poor and very sick and would have never bought the product if I knew they had a ridiculously dishonest exchange rate and hidden shipping costs.
His YouTube advice is sound
He doesn’t own the advice he gives on YouTube or doesn’t make any claim or impression that he discovered anything. That just shows how bad the medical industry is they keep this valuable information hidden to profit off of your illnesses. Most of what he says is in direct contradiction to what’s considered normal or recommended but it’s all sound medical advice backed by science. You just have to experiment with your diet and see for yourself.
He’s a Dr. because he’s a chiropractor but you don’t have to be a doctor to share sound science-based nutritional advice. And if you get pressured to buy anything you can only blame yourself this happens everywhere in every industry you have gullible people giving their money up then they feel regret after and blame the one who sold to them. Blame yourself for being the age you are and still ignorant and naïve.
If you support him you support Scientology
To the people asking what does Scientology have to do with it? Do some damn research. It’s an abusove, coercive cult, they stalk, they defend rapists and they get tax cuts whilst doing it. This man gives millions to this cult so when you support him and his brand you are paying for the pain of others. The CEOs wife has been missing since 2007 and the police aren’t even investigating. Bergs son no longer talks to him. Maybe look into that.
Good information he pawns as his own.
I think Berg provides good information that works. But all of his work is based on Dr. Atkins research from 1972. Berg displays this information as if he somehow discovered it. It also gets old that all the bodies problems have something to do with elevated insulin.
I was very enthusiastic when I first came across Dr burg and quickly listened to his you tubes and followed the diet .I also purchased a course which cost $650 and I was very disappointed with the course it was just repeating the free videos I requested my none back and was told I signed an agreement where I won’t get a refund .while I was filling the diet I had an emergency hospital admission due to Gall bladder and liver infection due to following Dr bergs keto eating plan .I lost money and didn’t get on holiday because of following this diet .I am so disgusted at how I was treated .I hope no-one else has to go threw wot I went threw the man is all talk. He shud be taken off you tube and investigated for his galseness .and wrong money making practices .
Dr Berg Changed My Life
I’m sorry other people have felt pressure to buy products and services and wanted refunds they apparently only partially received, but I’ve only once bought a single supplement from him in addition to hours and hours of free information that changed my life. I wasn’t pressured to buy anything.
Because of Dr Berg’s videos (and chiropractors can and do call themselves doctors) I’ve lost over 100 pounds, reversed diabetes, and continued to improve my health over a period of several years. Maybe a ketogenic lifestyle isn’t right for everyone, but it’s right for me. In addition to the weight loss and reversal of diabetes, I’ve also beaten debilitating chronic pain from degenerative disc disease.
I am not a fan of Scientology in any way, and I find the organization’s actions disturbing, but I am able to objectively separate this from the whole food ketogenic approach he advocates. If you won’t listen to it from him, listen to it from other helpful advisors. It works for a great many people with metabolic dysfunction, such as mine. This original post sounds like a smear job by a hysterical semi-literate fool. Judge for yourself and listen to some of the responses.
