Dr. Berg Works on Duane Clemons Former NFL Player

The following is Duane Clemons discussing weight loss before and after seeking Dr. Berg:

In 1996 I was the first draft pick for the Minnesota Vikings.

By the end of my career as a NFL football player, 3 of my original teammates had died from strokes, heartache and kidney and liver failure.

I know this was because of the harsh drugs that we were taking such as the anti-inflammatories and pain killers.

Also the adrenal stress from years and years of pushing our bodies beyond its physical limit cause major health problems later on.

At the end of my career, I started gaining weight. I went from 265lbs and in great shape to 315lbs.

I realized that my energy and motivation had decline.

I was depressed, I was getting sick a lot and I knew I had to do something.

Once I found out that hard work plus recovery was my ultimate goal, I was able to start this program with Dr. Berg that was based on my body type.

When I learned what my body needed I was able to work smarter not just harder.

In a matter of just 4 weeks:

  • I was able to lose 45 pounds

  • Get back down to my original playing weight

  • I had energy I never thought I would have again.

  • I was sleeping better.


Now, I know for a fact that the lifestyle choices I made throughout those years, there was a way to repair the damage that was done.

I live a lifestyle that is healthy, I eat the right foods, I can train and work my way back into the NFL even after 10 years.

I want to thank Dr. Berg and the success his program has given me.
