Episode notes
Diseases Often Silent For Years
- Many chronic diseases produce no noticeable symptoms for 10–20 years, so damage accumulates silently.
- Organs like liver and kidneys tolerate huge losses before symptoms appear, making early detection critical.
Patients Miss Serious Conditions
- Dr. Berg recounts patients who reached advanced artery blockage or stage-four cancer without symptoms.
- He warns many people mistake late-stage signs for normal aging and ignore them until it's severe.

- Insulin compensates for excess sugar for 15–20 years, masking high sugar intake and causing fat storage.
- Insulin resistance is a long-term compensation that eventually exhausts the pancreas and causes type 2 diabetes.
