I guess a third kind of peripheral thing is that, since I am pretty much just never frantically hungry anymore, it is easier to make good food choices. The other thing I notice is that I get a satiety signal sooner. More than once I have had to prod myself to eat like so: 'You'd better eat lunch now or you'll be eating dinner really late.' On a scale of 1 - 10, normally I might feel a hunger level of 8. You usually eat at noon and now it is 1pm. It did two things.įirst, it blunted my 'I'm hungry' signal. I cannot speak to how it helped them do it but here is what I personally noticed. I was able to find references to studies showing berberine helping obese people lose weight. And, since I haven't altered anything else, I am pretty sure this is due to the berberine. But what is most definitely dropping is my weight and that is because my eating patterns are changing.

My blood sugar is coming down slowly but surely.

So I started taking berberine to see if it would have an effect. Not wildly high-typical values would be 110 - 120-but I know from experience that is nowhere near my personal comfortable range-more like 75 - 85. I became aware of this supplement by listening to Dr Andrew Huberman's podcast ( highly recommend - check it out!) He said multiple studies showed that berberine could lower blood sugar spikes as well as the prescription drug Metformin.ĭue to increased weight, poor diet choices, etc my blood sugar (as tested by the little manual models you can buy where you prick your finger) had crept up. I thought I would relay my experience with berberine.
