thank you

welcome back everyone

it’s Friday morning we’re here with

another q a so anything that I say is

not meant to diagnose replace your

medical care check with your doc before

doing any things we’re going to talk

about

and we have great people in the green

room and there’s a lot of questions

lined up so bring your questions just

you know keep them easy for me to answer

all right well let’s kick it off uh on

social media with one of our favorite

guys Productions dude is the guy’s name

that’s the handle or guy at from YouTube

just started on your nutritional yeast

and wondering if that’s what I do let’s

excuse me need to treat my Tremors or do

I need to take something else I’m on a

20-hour fast on keto every day

well I’m not sure but we do know that um

Tremors could be related to something

with a B1 deficiency but there’s other

reasons too relating to dopamine I did a

video on all the causes of Tremors

um you should check it out

um

one little tip that I actually a little

technique that I tried in practice it

seemed to work for some people you might

want to try so if you’re if you have

this Tremor which is kind of a

it’s an automatic thing that you’re not

your body is not controlling it’s just

doing its own thing try to exaggerate

the Tremor and make your hand have a

Tremor and see if that doesn’t help it

it works with stuttering too you like

how the person stutter on purpose and

all of a sudden now they can’t stutter

it’s really interesting wow that is

interesting here’s another this is an

interesting question all these people’s

handles sweet potatoes potes sweet

potatoes from YouTube

are we supposed to wait an hour or more

before brushing our teeth after a meal

what are your thoughts Dr Berg

you always have to wait an hour now I I

have I don’t think it matters I think

it’s a

I think it’s a trivial thing that won’t

make a big difference one way or the

other so brush your teeth when you have

time

um whether it’s immediately after 10

minutes an hour I think you’ll be good

to go good wait six months and they’ll

pull them all so gotta come up with some

kind of compromise there okay why don’t

we kick it off with our first exciting

quiz question and uh audience they’re

not all true false this time so you can

have to put your thinking cap on and

here’s the first one

okay

best food to prevent age-related macular

degeneration now the immacula is uh the

little back part of your eye to help you

see

so there’s a condition called

age-related macular degeneration like

what’s the best food to prevent that

okay climb on it audience

now let’s go back to social media again

this time it’s Tina from YouTube

using a recognizable name what are the

most important supplements to take every

day for Optimal Health and well-being

you have a short list doc

well there’s the the basic ones that

you’re supposed to be getting you’re

supposed to be getting from food but

there are certain nutrients that are

really hard to get to from food

uh and that would be vitamin D at the

top of the list it’s probably almost

impossible to get your requirements for

vitamin D and uh

you know for for some reason people were

wearing more clothes nowadays so they

and they don’t go outside to get enough

sun exposure to get the vitamin D so

um our bodies were designed probably not

to wear as much clothes but um it’s kind

of necessary nowadays to wear clothes

but the point is vitamin D would be at

the top of the list

some other things that are really hard

to get uh which which are essential is

the trace minerals because you need that

in building protein not just for your

muscles but all the biochemistry

involved with hormones and metabolism

and you name it so we have the trace

minerals

vitamin D

um

some of the B vitamins sometimes um

people don’t get as many because they’re

doing a lot of heavy carbs refined carbs

uh and then another really

um

important one would be the omega-3 fatty

acids so I think those would be probably

more important than others all right

very good well let’s go to the green

room and Nicholas from Belgium has very

astute looking glasses so I’m sure we’re

going to hear some fascinating

commentary with him and if he it

remembers to unmute himself he is now on

with Dr burgoy through a one 30 second

question please

hello uh Dr Burke

um I’m a little bit confused about

proteins because

um when I use your calculator it says

like 62 grams of proteins and um well uh

people they scare me a little bit that

it’s way too low

but I tend to believe you because I’m a

big fan and I follow everything what you

say and do so I just want to know

can you

is this 62 enough and

um

part two of the question is when do you

advise to take the proteins or yeah

so so good question I think the

confusion is

within the um when we say protein we’re

talking about the protein in protein

foods so if you were to weigh

steak

right

um it would be a lot more than

you know 50 or 60 grams of protein

um because probably over half of it or

more than that is water you have

connective tissue you have all these

other stuff so we’re talking about the

actual protein inside the protein let’s

take for example eggs for example uh one

egg is seven grams of protein

how many times

does 7 go into

um well how many how many eggs would you

have to eat

to achieve 60 grams of protein

this is a trick question yeah a lot

right now so anyways probably uh

for those people who are not good as

math probably be more than six uh right

or more than 10 eggs right so probably

11 eggs so

if someone were to say

wow 11 eggs a day is not an odd protein

well that’s it’s going to give you 60 60

grams

they’re they’re thinking of the actual

weight of the actual food itself not the

protein in that food well I I’m not I’m

sorry to interrupt you I’m not really

concerned about the the friends or some

people that I was talking I was

listening to some podcast about a

protein a so-called expert Dr Layman and

he was talking about around 90 grams per

day and I think he probably uses the

same reference point as you so

that’s like 30 grams difference and I’m

just a little bit like yeah and I think

if I eat too much protein it takes me

out of ketosis so that’s a little bit my

my difficulty

very good question

um I created some videos in that but

maybe it’s hard to find but but there’s

some

variance of how much protein someone

needs depending on their age depending

on their metabolism depending on how

much exercise they do

um like you take a bodybuilder for

example they’re going to go on the high

end they’ll probably do

well over a hundred grams of protein per

day

um

I know with even myself I’ve

experimented with more protein less

protein how I feel you know and you can

look at your urine is it foamy is that

could that be some byproducts of too

much protein

um how healthy is your liver to deal

with all this extra protein

it is true that there’s a certain amount

of protein that is used to replace your

body tissues okay that that because we

don’t have a storage so what happens to

the extra protein that we don’t that

doesn’t turn into body tissue well it

gets converted into glucose

now is this the same as eating sugar no

because

you’re starting off with a protein and

it takes time and it’s not like eating

white bread something like that but it’s

um it’s being um

affected by other hormones too the

opposing hormone to insulin called

glucagon so it’s not near going to be a

problem as sugar but it does turn into

um

glucose it’s converted because the um

the carbon chains of that that amino

acid so the thing that um what I would

do if I were you

if you’re ever confused about protein

for three days just consume 60 grams of

protein and then for the next three days

do 90 grams and just see how you feel

then you’ll know for sure look at energy

look at your sleep your digestion and

see how you feel because they’re really

it’s really hard to determine the exact

amount based on all these other

variables you know and you know it’s

but the point is that the type of

protein is important to bioavailable

protein eggs and meat versus trying to

get your protein from grains or nuts or

things like that or beans which you’re

gonna need to eat a lot more and then

with that comes a lot of carbohydrate

so animal props are in preferred I think

absolutely it’s the most bioavailable

eggs at the top of the list and also

just so you know

um the requirements for protein are kind

of a myth anyway because we don’t really

require protein we require amino acids

so

the question is where do we get the most

bioavailable amino acids well from

animal food animal protein and then the

question is

um can we break those down with the

amount of acid in our stomach

um hopefully yes

um so anyway it’s um the amino acids

really is what we’re looking for

oh that’s great that’s that’s an answer

to my question and I have a little a

small favor uh I make a very short I

used your golden latte a lot and now

it’s out of stock and um I have friends

living in Egypt in India because of my

work so now we’re still some stock I

asked them to buy they are shipping them

to me I even went to Egypt because they

couldn’t ship them just to pick them up

imagine so um I just uh I just I just

want to ask a favor if you could

reconsider to um to bring it back into

your uh range of products

glad you like it I definitely will

reconsider that

um it’s really just a matter of do

people want it you know I had a great

idea I thought it was a great idea to

produce that product from turmeric

um I loved it but then

apparently that there wasn’t a lot of

people who did like it but there are

certain people that like it so I’ll

definitely consider it yeah thank you so

much yeah that’s great hey Nicholas

listen just send me a hundred dollars

cash in an envelope and I’ll make sure

it gets in the proper hands and I’m sure

that’ll have a positive effect on uh

what you’re considering here thanks for

joining us in such a great call that’s

fantastic and while we were distracting

Nicholas

um with your great um Council we have an

answer to today’s first quiz question

and let’s remind everybody what that was

it asks what’s the best food to prevent

age-related macular degeneration or bone

site and 55 percent of our respondents

say it’s carrots fifteen percent say

sardines 15 say egg yolks which you just

spoke up and 15 say it’s spinach or

sauerkraut

okay well

you know it’s one of those things where

you’re all kind of right the official

name of the macula is called the machia

macula lutea macula

um and then lutia means yellow because

it’s a certain pigment which is a

certain amount of carotenoids

so carotenoids what is that that’s a

a certain um it’s like lutein zeaxanthin

which is basically um

in dark leaf leafy greens as well as egg

yolks

okay

so that’s and I should have said Foods

because there’s multiple foods but I

think it’s a it’s almost a tie between

the the carotenoids in the dark leafy

green vegetables and egg yolks

as well as

the which oh by the way you can also get

these these carotenoids in grass-fed

beef as well

um but also

omega-3 fatty acids it’s called DHA

which we need in pretty much all of our

cells to protect ourselves like about

one to five percent of of that essential

fat makes up ourselves but guess what 50

to 60 percent of your macula is made

from DHA

which means that

um probably the most important nutrient

to help your eye is the DHA that’s the

omega-3 and that comes from fish oils

especially oily cold water fish

Herring

um

salmon

also oysters and seafood and other fatty

fishes you know like um cod liver oil

you know that would be good or Cod Liver

itself I don’t know about Cod but I

think that the liver would give you more

and you can actually buy cod liver

so these are really important in the eye

and those phytonutrients

are there to like the carotenuse or

there is the sunscreen to protect you

against UV and blue light on the

computer if you do a lot of computer

work

um so and the same thing with the DHA so

it’s very important to protect the eye

so first of all a lot of people don’t

eat fish anymore they don’t do you know

organic grass-fed beef

uh they don’t eat enough vegetables

right they they are very heavy with

carbs and they’re very heavy with the

Omega through six fatty acids like the

soy and corn oil and Seed oils so you

can see why their eyes are getting so

bad right and um it might be hard to

believe but some people even need

glasses nowadays more than more than

ever so

um but not just visual but just uh

having problems with glaucoma and all

the other conditions with the eye when

blindness and losing the strength of the

macula I mean which is part of the

retina

so

um anyway uh stay tuned for a more

complete video on that topic all right

very good and if you want to see videos

I’ll remind you once again that Dr Berg

has a great app that it’s free and let’s

put Nicholas on the spot again from

Belgium Nicholas do you have this app

answer yes or no

oh he muted himself like a good guy

anyway if you don’t you should get it

and so should everyone else well I I

didn’t do I didn’t use it yet but I will

oh thank you okay that’s one sign up for

the app and there should be Millions

more so you folks please follow

Nicholas’s lead and get the free app for

your phone and you’ll be able to

discover all the videos at your

fingertips okay let’s go ahead and kick

out the second question of the day and

it is as follows

okay

which herb um

gives you

the antidote

to

poisonous snake venom poisonous

mushrooms as well as Tylenol overdose it

is the antidote to a lot of different

poisons what what herb would give you

that protection I think this would be

important to know and have have around

the house in case you happen to run into

a poisonous snake or a mushroom that you

just ate

all right well Dr Berg let’s ask the

question does anyone actually listen to

your show well here’s some evidence we’d

like to say a good morning to all of our

viewers joining us today from the UK

Canada Mexico Indonesia Jordan Oman

Poland Ireland South Africa Bangladesh

Trinidad and Tobago Switzerland Japan

Armenia France Chile the Netherlands

Belgium there you go Nicholas the

Dominican Republic Germany Norway

India Russia Taiwan Nepal artria Spain

Libya Greece Nigeria Brazil the Virgin

Islands all Australia Sweden Italy

Greece Pakistan Israel Uganda the United

Arab Emirates ubekistan Scotland which

I’m leaving for in a week the

Philippines Kenya Austria New Zealand

and all across these lovely United

States which will be evidenced later in

the Green Room we’ve got some folks that

are right here in the contiguous

48. so let’s see

um what we should do next how about we

go to social media Janice from YouTube

what can I do to lower my blood pressure

naturally

well the two things that up into my mind

is make sure you have no vitamin D

uh if you in fact uh if you take too

much vitamin D sometimes your blood

pressure will end up even lower than it

should be

um and also potassium start consuming

potassium either in electrolyte powder

or just potassium foods which have to do

with all those vegetables and then third

thing is cut down your carbs that should

bring your blood pressure down there’s

many other different remedies but I

think if you focus on those three items

blood pressure should come down within

normal range

all right very good let’s see here let’s

go to Stephanie from YouTube thank you

Dr Berg for all of your hard work and

dedication towards helping others live

longer and healthier lives everyone

seems to be dropping your name these

days including my carrot card reader

goodness you’re really getting around

with that I can tell you that and now

I’m going to do another Shameless plug

for Dr Berg’s products and I do use the

electrolyte pattern and I’m telling you

it’s a huge value because it’s a big jug

you can get it two sizes but this lasts

forever because the very potent material

and the little scooper you can get tons

of stuff out and that is really a great

product so make sure you get some of

that

and uh there’s that twenty dollars and

I’ll send it to you uh Steve oh yeah

exactly any uh any Revenue to me

certainly a big help okay let’s get my

mug off of there and let’s go back to

social media

um let’s see Hamid from Facebook what

can I do for uh testicular atrophy

they’re getting smaller doc

the best nutrient is zinc

um it’s a trace mineral

it can help

uh testicular atrophy as well as a

decrease in testosterone a couple other

things are involved in that which would

be

stress

age

um and um

and so your immune system too if the

immune system is um if you have an

infection that can also affect that as

well like like there’s certain viruses

that go in remission

that can really mess with your hormones

um so but I think that the key mineral

that I would focus on is zinc

um

so

there you go all right very good okay

let’s move on the audience is still with

us and they have come together with some

answers for the second question which

asks which herbs give you the antidote

for poisonous snake venom poisonous uh

excuse me mushrooms as well as Tylenol

overdose and the audience claims eighty

percent of them say it’s milk thistle 15

say it’s tadka and five percent say dark

chocolate which I enjoy

well the majority is right it is

definitely milk thistle wow okay

um milk thistle has amazing properties

for not just your liver but for the

kidney as well protection against if

you’re on even medication which creates

a lot of side effects if you took milk

thistle it could to some degree protect

your cells from the medication so it’s a

good it’s it has a fascinating property

of cell protection and from many

different angles so um and it’s a weed

that’s probably growing in your backyard

right now you don’t even know it

um problem is collecting all those seeds

and trying to extract them from all the

fluffy stuff that comes out which is

like kind of like these little

parachutes that that’s kind of a pain in

the butt so I I think the best thing is

just to buy the tablets but milk thistle

is a great antidote um

that um

it’s just good for so many things

especially it has the capacity to

prevent a fatty liver prevent cirrhosis

prevent um liver enzymes from going up

too high

so it’s a pretty amazing and also Tucka

is also good if you combine Taco with it

you got a very powerful

one-two punch

well very good we’ll listen the list

grows and others around the world want

to be recognized and so we’ve got

another shout out to our viewers in the

Czech Republic Barbados Saudi Arabia

turkey Portugal and Iran so welcome all

of you to the spot for Better Health

let’s see now

um so let me get rid of that question so

I don’t ask that again

um sorry to include you all in my

administrative duties folks but we just

have to make sure it’s as perfect to

show as possible let’s see okay Kathy

from Facebook what should we do to treat

eye floaters

that’s usually um

protein that builds up in the eye and

there’s a very great remedy it’s very

soluble I think it’s uh I’m not mistaken

it’s called MSM and it comes in drops

and that’s been known to help with those

floaters but I would also make sure your

basic diet is um good because you could

be breaking down pro protein because

you’re in a catabolic State because your

cortisol is too high or you’re eating

too much sugar but that’s I would always

go after that first

okay very good morning dew from Facebook

what causes white marks on our

fingernails

well that is a classic zinc deficiency

which you can become depleted if you eat

a lot of sugar so if that little white

dot is right in the center of the nail

and your nails grow every six months we

know about three months ago you had a

birthday party and you ate the whole

cake

all right very good why don’t we go back

over to our green room and this time

let’s go to Pasadena California

and Easter is on with us let me unmute

her and I trust that she’s doing the

same and Easter you’re on for your one

question in 30 seconds go

thank you so much this is like winning

the lottery

I am new to Dr Berg uh even though my

husband has had me order the the seek

help but I want to know just at 64 years

old and nothing else is working for me

where to get started with all the

information that you have out there in

your videos

nothing is working

you know so whatever you suggest I’ll

I’ll start there well first of all you

look probably not even 40 years old so

no kidding what are you doing must be

working but um can you give me um like

something else to go on like as far as a

symptom

yes well

um I was one I’m one year in on using

being prescribed

cholesterol medication because I’ve

tried to get my cholesterol down uh

below 200 for many years and wasn’t able

to do it

um I am postmanopausal

I’ve had a partial hysterectomy I’m so

stressed out even though I I work out a

lot and

um I’ve even tried for the last year to

um do intermittent fasting with my

sister who lived in Missouri

she’s been very successful and I’ve lost

two pounds

you know and I’m I’m fasting like 16 to

18 hours a night so got it so a couple

things real quick

um when you go to drberg.com click

videos and I actually have the first

video you should watch and that’s where

you start and then there’s a video two

and then three but when you go through

menopause

um you have this change you have to

change from

um no longer

utilize much much of your ovaries so the

backup organ so you can produce the same

hormones as the ovary did is the

adrenals and the raw material to make

those hormones is you guessed it

cholesterol

um

so what the body

um if there’s stress involved the body

is going to make more stress hormones

from cholesterol

and so it’s gonna actually your body

actually makes cholesterol too so it

might just be generating more

cholesterol because you have stress

leaving the other hormones high and dry

and that could be what you’re running up

against so what do you do

um well yes intermittent fasting is one

thing but the concept of it’s not lose

weight to get healthy it’s get healthy

to lose weight uh you can focus in on

your health first so regardless of how

much weight you lose don’t even worry

about that initially what you want to do

is you want to do this combination of

healthy keto with intermittent fasting

to achieve the first goal which would be

no more appetite so your appetite goes

away then we know it’s working it means

that you’re burning your fat and you may

be in a situation especially after

menopause where you have to build up

more muscle protein which does take

um some initial

work

um and so if that happens you might not

know you might not see as much weight

loss you might just see

um a shrinkage of your clothes because

the just the the weight of protein is

heavier than fat per volume

so um I I wouldn’t restrict

fat foods as much as I would restrict

carb foods because the sugar and carbs

turn into cholesterol

and then

I have a lot of videos on stress all

these other things you can do and then

what will happen is the I think your

lipid profiles will come in check you’ll

start feeling better you’ll start to

lose weight but a normal the most you

can lose per week

is two pounds and that’s for a really

young healthy person

um if you lose one pound a week that’s

still good

um sometimes people lose even a half a

pound a week and that’s still okay

especially in the beginning

so just get the basic thing in and um

watch more of my videos so you have that

understanding of what normal is and what

to expect and then um I think um you’re

gonna do very well

so much thank you thank you so much for

being another great caller and sticking

with the Rules of Engagement here on the

Dr Berg show and keeping things moving

along so let’s go back to social media

and treat them with some love Leah

sorry Leela from YouTube best way to

treat allergies in children

bee pollen bee pollen is a good remedy

for allergies in children and of course

I think you are you talking about

seasonal allergies or food allergies I’m

guessing it’s seasonal but bee pollen is

good and because the

um and there’s other things too as a

natural and a histamine there’s a

there’s a great product

um there’s a couple products out there

if you took like a glandular extract

like a liver like a grass-fed

freeze-dried liver extract and even the

kidney extract too grass-fed

freeze-dried kidney

it’s like from beef

um they both have very potent

um enzymes to help you break down

histamines

to help you with um especially the

seasonal allergies that might be two

remedies that I would recommend for sure

all right as well as the people I guess

that’s three remedies oh good you got a

lot out of that question I can tell you

that uh oh this sounds horrible Dr Berg

excuse me DB from Facebook my superior

vena cava is blocked and my face is

swollen help that sounds awful

your vena cava is is blocked that’s

that’s kind of

serious that’s a a vessel a blood vessel

so um

I think that would require more medical

help from from someone that can unblock

it

[Music]

um

I mean maybe you’re just talking about

you have some calcium buildup but I

don’t know but um

um

yeah that’s more of a medical kind of

emergency if your major blood vessel is

blocked

yeah I think you might get your wife to

take you on to the hospital with that

one

let’s see Lucy excuse me

uh oh here we go uh Lucy Anna from

Facebook just adding collagen powder to

my smoothie help my skin

it potentially could

um

so it can you know I’m kind of mixed

reviews and collagen but on one hand

it’s part of an Animal product that I

think we need there’s certain

things in there that help especially for

gut lining leaky gut

um I always recommend like eat nose to

tail you know the how the animal protein

how the collagen maybe bone broth as

well as some of the organ Meats uh and

then you’re you’re safe because you’re

having this complete

um Neil versus just people just focus on

like

skinless chicken breasts well that’s

just muscle you know I think the skin is

actually as benefit and kind of do here

oh there he goes hang on with the spices

uh so I think those are good okay and Dr

Burke you might want to recap the last

10 seconds he froze up

okay can you hear me now yeah perfectly

you’re back

okay so yeah just eat the nose to tail

the whole whole animal and I think

you’re going to be safe okay very good

all right let’s go on with another quiz

question and the audience breathes a

great sigh of relief that this one’s a

true false they’re giving them 50 chance

of being brilliant and there it is Dr

Berg

hypoglycemia okay

is really just High insulin hyper

um

hyper glycemia exactly the audience no

that should be that should that’s

incorrect it should be hyper insulinemia

oh so there’s a typo there okay my

insulin is hyper insulinium okay so

basically

true or false

um I’ll just repeat it um

hypoglycemia is hyperinsulinemia

very good all right let’s see let’s go

back to all our friends on social media

uh and let’s see

oh here’s a good one that we should all

know Olivia from Facebook what are the

healthiest oils to use for cooking

I think I would use the saturated ones I

would use like the um the Tallow or lard

um sometimes I cook with olive oil or

coconut oil

um I don’t like to cook with the

vegetable oils which are seed oils at

all

um

so that’s that’s pretty much what I cook

with

all right let’s see butter butter is

another thing that I cook with as well

all right okay so Darren from Facebook

what are your thoughts on taking red

Marine algae

I think the algae is interesting because

it has

um some really interesting nutrition uh

across the board uh you have red algae

blue-green algae uh which is kind of

like spirulina

um I like it

um I think if you’re a vegan it would be

a good source of protein and vitamins

and minerals it pretty much if I’m not

mistaken it has just about everything

including DHA which is that omega-3

fatty acid I talked about that I forgot

to mention it comes from algae as well

as fish

um so but it’s you can’t find DHA in any

plant any plants now I will say that

there’s a precursor ala that turns into

DHA then that would be like the flax

seed or walnuts or chia seed but not to

any significant amounts so um

you want to stick with um the animal

meats or products and maybe some algae

okay very good well the audience just

flew through that question and it asked

at least to begin with true false

hyperglycemia is just a high insulin

what was that word doc

um

hypoglycemia low blood sugar is just

hyperinsulinemia hyperinsulinemia well

they have an opinion on that 60 percent

of our respondents say it’s true and 40

percent say it is false

you know hypoglycemia you know people

always say oh my blood sugar’s a low I

need to go eat right

um

if you just really understand what’s

it’s not the lack of food that’s keeping

your blood sugars low

it’s not the lack of sugar

it’s eating sugar maybe what you had

yesterday that’s created in this problem

because what pushes blood glucose down

is insulin which means if you have

hypoglycemia your insulin is too high

and how do you increase insulin carbs

so that hypoglycemia that low blood

sugar is coming from too many carbs and

that’s why it’s like they try to make it

into some disease this mysterious

disease no it’s very simple it’s just

that you’re doing something to raise

your insulin and as soon as you cut the

carbs out that hypoglycemia will go away

I used to have hypoglycemia

um and I I would just have I would have

to eat frequently well the frequent

meals is what creates the problem but

think about medically what they do oh go

eat some candy you know have small

frequent meals to keep your blood sugars

up okay well that’s going to work for a

minute until the next day you’re right

in the same boat so

um

yeah I think sugar um

sugar is the culprit to destroying the

mitochondria

Steve have you ever um do you know where

the mitochondria actually comes from

oh I wish I did I’d feel smart

just from our from a cellular uh history

of

um what merged between

our cells

in a bacterial cell

is this mitochondria mitochondria has

the origin from a bacteria

it’s it’s a bacteria that decided to

coexist and uh in our cells and um have

this Arrangement where you know you give

me a place to live and you feed me and

I’ll I’ll be your I’ll be specialized

into focusing on energy I’ll make all

your energy and that’s what a

mitochondria is it’s a energy Factory

but it’s actually it comes from a

bacterial cell and so

it’s been it’s been

developed to um

be very robust and tough and um

survive through

not eating you know from burning fat you

know like um

from adapting to eating and then

adapting to cold and all sorts of things

because even when you do like cold

therapy you actually get more

mitochondria but I think our

mitochondria has been very very lazy and

recently

in times because

um we we basically feed it

24 7. we um we don’t stress it out too

much we don’t we’re kind of sedentary

uh we like warm temperature we don’t

like the cold the winter and so it’s

gotten really lazy and with that comes

all these mitochondrial diseases which

is pretty much like most diseases out

there related to the mitochondria so and

cancer so there’s a lot of things you

can do to strengthen the mitochondria

and one thing is not to

to simulate what it’s been developed for

I mean just like survival and

not starvation but just fasting cold

therapy more than heat therapy exercise

sunlight all these things are very very

therapeutic to

you know make your mitochondria no

longer so darn lazy

all right very good well Hannah from

Facebook has the nerve to ask is beef

liver the most nutritious food on Earth

I hope not it tastes gross

it probably is

um probably

um up there with other organ Meats

because it’s more it’s so concentrated

with nutrition but you know that being

said

you don’t want to overdo it you know if

you have too much liver you can get too

much vitamin A so you want to have some

um but we’re not trying to go overboard

like even for example let’s take a

selenium

selenium is a very important Trace

mineral that if you’re deficient you

have all these problems but if you have

too much you have all these problems so

you can be you can have toxic amounts so

we just need

the right amounts

oh all right let’s see um

uh savitha I love Terry always gives me

these sort of phonetically spell things

and thank you Terry because I would have

never pronounced that Savita from

Facebook how can we gain weight on

healthy Keto

you’re gonna have to eat more calories

um a bit more fat and maybe a bit more

carbs but not going past that 50 grams

so bring your carbs up to 50 grams more

protein more fat and then maybe just do

two meals instead of one meal and at

least you’ll stop losing weight

all right well by the way I and I’m sure

the audience would love to know how’s

your ice bath going did you get that

Gadget

oh yes yes I did and uh

um it’s quite fascinating because

you know you get the benefits just from

like 11 minutes per week so it sounds

pretty easy doesn’t Steve like 11

minutes I can do that well try to try to

soak your body in

37 degree water okay immerse your body

in 37 degrees and see how long you can

tolerate that

um for me it was five seconds I couldn’t

I could not I couldn’t go long in that

so I I adjust the temperature up to 50

degrees which is 10 degrees Celsius and

I was able to go a minute

and so I’m doing a minute each day which

will give me um seven minutes right per

week and I’ll work my way up to two

minutes and then I’ll do do that um but

the point is that it’s uh you want to do

it so it’s

very uncomfortable

and um even 50 degree

50 degrees is pretty darn uncomfortable

it actually hurts but

it’s fascinating how good you feel after

the pain goes away huh it’s fascinating

what does to your sleep cycle and your

energy level I am actually blown away

you know the cold therapy is one thing

that I haven’t done a lot of other than

cold showers here and there but I’ve

never been able to get the temperature

um down to the levels to create the

effects so now that I have the tub

um I like it I like it

um my body hates it but I like the

effects that it produces

you know a few minutes after I get out

my goodness but there’s some type of

resistance my body just somehow resists

getting in that thing so I have to kind

of just jump in and not think about it

oh yeah that’s uh you’re Tougher Than Me

Eve you’re you’re next you’re next no

actually I do take as cold a shower as

the shower is after a sauna over at the

gym and I do like that and I go back in

you know 190 degrees to whatever winter

water is and I do like that but I

couldn’t go in cold turkey without

getting hot first

I think your mitochondria are just too

darn lazy I bet they are I’ll have to

consult them go uh let’s see uh pela

from Facebook how can I reduce bad

cholesterol I guess that’s LDL right

naturally or is it bad

there’s two types of bad cholesterol you

have the small particle

like the dense particles and then you

have the large buoyant particle size so

that’s the two I’m gonna I guess how do

we reduce the small dense

LDL and that would be reducing carbs and

sugar that’s how you do it okay very

good we’re gonna go back to the green

room but first let’s knock out another

question there you go doc another true

falser

okay egg yolks some have the

have a strong ability to help your liver

detoxify now wait a second egg yolks

is that true or false egg yolks helping

you detoxify

that right climb on that one and while

we oh go I’m sorry cholesterol food

all right okay so while you guys ponder

that we’re going to go to Steve in

Pasadena but it’s not what you think

it’s Pasadena Arizona so Steve if you

are unmuted I’m going to put you on with

Dr Berg for your one question and please

note audience he has a great dog if it

jumps up on him

hello Dr Berg

very nice to meet you and be on the show

this is Mike

Heidi she’s my uh

they call her a she’s a golden retriever

but they call her an English cream

you’re the first time it’s a mouthful

but uh talking about organ mates she’s

crazy on the liver and between you I

have to say between you and Dr Marty

Goldstein a veterinarian I’ve learned

more about nutrition in the past two

years than I’ve ever known in my life

I’m 72 years old I’m in great health my

daughter got me this because I was there

anyway originally from Jersey so don’t

hold that against me I’m in Glendale

Arizona love it my one issue doctor I’m

healthier than a horse but early in the

morning I gotta go I gotta pee and it’s

like non-negotiable I gotta go and I

followed your advice I put the snacks I

go to bed around 10 10 30. I quit the

snacks or whatever I don’t really snack

but I quit you know I quit eating and

drinking anything around 7 7 30 and go

to bed around 10 30 or so and still

early in the morning it’s a little

better but early in the morning it’s

like hello

I gotta go I gotta pee and then it’s two

or three times Within

an hour hour and a half somewhere around

there but I have a strong stream

so at first I thought it was what all

older guys kind of get with their

prostate I don’t think it is but

you’re the man

when I talk about this I talk about it

so it’s really related to insulin

resistance and that if you have insulin

resistance by snacking too much eating

carbs you’re gonna you’re gonna get up a

lot at night

um yeah you’re getting up early which uh

we can always improve that

um but on the flip side

there’s others there’s sense there’s

sensors receptors in your bladder for

concentration of urine too I have my

gallbladder removed doctor

right I’m talking about your urinary

bladder okay

so in the urinary blood there’s a

receptors for concentration of urine so

the more concentrated your urine is the

more you gotta go

um so

um you may want to during the day

actually increase

your volume of fluid so you’ll be less

concentrated at night and that might

take you a little bit further the other

thing that I think might be interesting

for you if you try that methylene blue

uh watch the video on that because the

methylene blue is uh it uh

it’s fantastic for all these little

problems that you’re trying to resolve

that taking it too long like right

insulin resistance you know and all

sorts of things so I did a video on that

too but

um that that’s what I would recommend

and of course

um if the stream wasn’t that great I

would think okay so

um prostate so you’d probably need to

avoid Dairy but I don’t think that’s

your problem I think that insulin

resistance is a tough nut to crack it

takes a long time and sometimes

um fasting longer will speed it up out

of the apple cider vinegar the berberine

all these things to speed it up but I

think

based on what you told me about that

um try that and then also keep working

at it

um trying to get rid of instant

resistance over a period of time and

that’s it just could take more time okay

well Steve by the way we’re out of time

now but I sure appreciate you coming on

and yeah sharing with us your let’s give

them one more look your lovely dog so

thanks so much for in bringing us that

joyous Visage you’re welcome and my my

wife was actually born in New Jersey so

uh I have a lot of

oh yeah

um I don’t know where she was born but

okay

yeah all right well let’s see let’s go

on to uh second to last quiz question Dr

Berg

here it is

okay

um did you get the answer to this

question excuse me there we go I got

distracted I’m sure I

I did uh Terry do I see it there oh yes

yes we did I’m forgive me so the

question was true false eggs have a

strong ability to help your liver

detoxify and the audience was on it with

their question with 90 say it’s true 10

say it’s false

he’s always a skeptic in the room but

yes that’s totally true because the egg

yolks are high in Sulfur which is what

your liver needs to detox you got this

interesting phase one phase two

detoxification system in your in your

liver in fact they’re in a lot of other

parts of your body too but um and that’s

the whole goal is to take poisons which

are mostly that soluble to turn them

into water-soluble particles and then so

you can exit these poisons so

um what foods are high in Sulfur what

what foods are high in the complete

amino acids that these detoxification

enzymes need

um or built out of

um

like methionine and and cysteine and all

these other ones well guess what they’re

very high in the egg yolk so egg yolk

has quite a few things that can help you

help your liver detox you would think

that it wouldn’t do it because it’s like

oh this fatty food but no you you egg

yolks are one of the best things in many

different levels but definitely

increasing the ability to detox now if

you took those eggs

and you fried them in

um olive oil

or butter with garlic and onion and

maybe put some roasted brussels sprouts

uh now you have a really interesting

liver detox

um because now you got the the help from

the Allison and the garlic and the

quercetin from the onion and all the

other great phytonutrients in the

cruciferous so that would be the best

meal to support your liver

detoxification you know people always do

these two-week detox cleanses

you’re wasting your time

because

the amount of

poisons you’re going to pull out in two

weeks it’s not going to really make a

difference what you should do is just

get your diet really squared away so

you’re consistently stimulating these

phase one phase two detoxification

enzymes and

you know broccoli Sprouts or grow them

yourself like micro greens and

vegetables and and high quality eggs and

things like that can can be much better

in the long run to keep these poisons

out of your body

all right very good let’s uh show the

audience the final question this one not

a true falser and there it is okay which

one of these three trace minerals has

the ability to reverse alopecia which is

like these hair loss and little clumps

zinc iodine or selenium

all right I trust the audience will know

the answer that let’s go back to our

final contestant if you will in the

green room and this time it is lovely

Crystal from uh Wisconsin I think you

spent some time there didn’t you doc

yeah that’s where I was I came from kind

of ocean Wisconsin I don’t know where

you’re from Crystal I’m from Menominee

okay okay so you’re in the north part

I’m uh yeah well middle middle West

Middle yeah close to the Twin Cities

okay yeah okay great so yeah my parents

are in Eagle River so uh oh sure um just

went to a hockey tournament there oh wow

that’s great yeah

so my question what would you tell

somebody that has very high hormone

levels like estrogen all the androgens

are high testosterone is high cortisol

is high I’ve read some conflicting

studies with fasting and how sometimes

they can make those antigens worse

how would you how would you take on

fasting with that

well fasting

actually affects every single one of

those hormones we just take a look at

androgens for example what stimulates

androgens like in polycystic ovarian

syndrome that would be carbs and

frequent eating so if you go in fasting

you actually can reverse that now

estrogen is a little different

if someone has an estrogen excess

either their liver is kind of messed up

or they’re very deficient in iodine

which it helps to regulate the amount of

estrogen in your body and if you’re

deficient of that you end up with a like

cysts and the ovaries or fibrocystic

breast issues things like that and then

of course High insulin comes from carbs

and then

um

I think you we already talked about

androgens or testosterone and there was

a was there another hormone or is that

[Music]

very high DHEA too which I I think is

odd because usually women once they get

closer to you know menopause it it

trickles away but I mean really high

well DHEA is um see what you’re

describing is all the sex all the sex

hormones okay and these sex hormones um

are include cortisol which is a stress

hormone too and so um the the precursor

the building block is DHEA so

this person is probably just

experiencing more stress and more

requirement to make some of these

hormones and so I think the stress might

be driving all these hormones at higher

levels

um so what I would do I would of course

reduce carbs and actually increase more

cholesterol foods which is going to help

make it easier for your body to or

whoever this is to um balance things out

um but but if you’re doing higher fats

make sure at the same time you don’t

increase your carbs so you go low carb

and then we do higher fats and with good

cholesterol like butter things like that

and and by the way if you do a really

good quality butter especially if it’s a

postmen possible female you also get a

lot of vitamin E good vitamin A you get

vitamin K2 so there’s a lot of benefits

in that as well

awesome thank you you’re welcome

enjoy the nice warm weather that you

just came through the cold weather so I

know it’s really cold I think I’m

waiting for one more snow

I’m telling you it’s uh

I remember taking my battery in at night

because it would freeze and uh yeah it’s

pretty darn cold

thanks for a great call Crystal and uh I

hope you don’t have another snow it’s

time for summer for goodness sakes

anyway let’s answer our final question

of the day uh which asks which of these

three trace minerals has the ability to

reverse alopecia

zinc iodine or selenium and the audience

does have an opinion 65 percent of our

respondents say zinc 30 say is selenium

and five percent are holding out for

iodine any winners

this is another this is a trick question

it’s basically all three

um but I will say zinc is probably the

most

researched but you can don’t mind this

background uh sound it’s uh a dog in the

background but uh yeah all three which

is pretty cool selenium iodine and zinc

is an essential common um

Trio that you definitely need if you

have hair loss especially alopecia

because

um

for for two reasons one is that these

trace minerals help build

um proteins in your hairs of protein

directly and also they are intimately

involved in your immune system so if

you’re deficient in any one of these

you’re more susceptible to this

autoimmune alopecia which is that’s

exactly what it is so it can actually

help um

build up um your immune system and

protect you against

um

not just alopecia but other conditions

that can cause alopecia or related like

Hashimoto’s lupus things like that so

anyway those are the three minerals that

are very important in focusing in on and

just as one side note about iodine you

know it’s hard to get iodine but

um one way what happens when you

increase fluoride is you block iodine so

that’s another hidden

source of iodine deficiency and you

might say well

you know I have Spring Water I’m not

getting it from the water I don’t do the

teeth whitening things but what about

medication 20 of medications including

statins and Prozac antibiotics and

anti-inflammatories are based around

this fluoride

which apparently can interrupt your

ability to absorb iodine

which does a has a Cascade of effect

Cascade effects so

um just wanted to bring that up as a as

a side note Steve very good well we’ve

got some feedback from the audience TT

from Facebook whole body cryotherapy

changed my life chronic pain went away

Vision immediately improved in my sleep

improved dramatically go all the way Dr

Burke so they’re cheering you on turn

that thermostat down says TT

so I hope that’s good you know if you do

uh jacuzzi boy that’s so comfortable

isn’t it

but this cold therapy bath cold water

immersion is

the opposite it’s very uncomfortable so

you know it must be good for you right

but it’s uh epigenetically we our bodies

were developed

um during stress in times of winter we

had to survive winter and so the cold

starvation which is fasting if we if we

just kind of like can mimic what our

bodies were designed to

adapt to our survival actually does

better our cells actually

you know start

aligning up and they start surviving

better so a lot of health problems go

away when you start just getting more

sun

not eating so frequently

um versus the other ways of being warm

all the time eating constantly and

staying inside and being sanitary so I

mean that’s that’s the Simplicity of

what you could do to get healthy is just

to kind of align your body what with

what it was designed to

um develop from

other nature that’s incredible by the

way I remember Alcatraz the um the

prison surrounded by chilly water in San

Francisco they kept the water warm uh

they didn’t have cold water so that the

prisoners wouldn’t get accustomed to it

which would help coordinating their

escape so they all got warm showers but

dare not Escape so that’s interesting

well I’ll just tell you 37 degrees I

don’t know if some people can do that

um that is

extremely cold and um

five seconds maybe maybe every time I

can adapt to it but I’m going to keep

trying I’ll keep you updated thank you

so much for the wonderful questions and

you from sticking around this long

um uh stay tuned for some more

interesting videos that I’m going to

share this next week
