Hmm… Interesting opinions. While I also despise Berg’s sales pitches, and personally produced products, I never found them to detract from the information he presents in many videos, and especially recently, they aren’t even in half of them. His background doesn’t mean that his explanations on the interplay between electrolytes are incorrect or even misleading, amongst other similar topics.
I find it truly confusing that people blast him for not being a doctor while lauding DeLauer, a healthcare admin background, and Cummins, an engineer, both of whom helped me in my initial stages. Hopefully they’re only upset by the misleading name. I am surprised to find this out.
However, I never take a single source as hard fact, and have vetted many of his videos with concurrence from several of the other trusted sources mentioned, including Phinney, Fung & Berry (amazing bluegrass band name, lol). The hate seems unwarranted in my opinion, but I could see it stemming from Berg jumping back and forth over the sketchy line between “keto bro” advice vs scientifically sound advice.
Anyways, it’s good to know the general opinion, even if I don’t agree with it 100%. DeLauer’s content so far this year has been terrible. I’ve lost a lot of respect for him. Constant pitching of products now. Berg has been the most helpful in figuring out my own electrolyte issues. So I will keep him in my crew of video consultants for now.
Thanks for the link, very deep considerations I clearly need to make about some of the things I learned from it. I have a solid keto base for myself now, so I don’t follow them as much anymore. I may have become a little too lazy in my critical research.
