welcome back everyone we’re here with

another q a it’s Friday morning for some

people but uh not others uh anything

that I say is definitely not meant to

bypass your medical doctor and give you

any type of

cures so um just check with your doctor

before you implement any of the things

that we’re going to talk about

Steve Let’s Just Jump Right In Like We

normally do okay true or false

deficiencies

of

some heavy metals like arsenic lead

could be the result of essential

nutrients inhibiting growth and repair

so we know toxic elements like Arsenic

and Lead are bad for us but is it

possible that if we’re deficient in

these toxic metals to some degree could

it affect our health

all right yes or no Angelo from YouTube

I understand that you had a sulgren

syndrome what did you do to treat it and

what advice can you share as I now have

it I don’t know if I said that right

sogrens Sjogren’s yeah I never had it um

so I don’t know who said I had it but uh

yeah it’s an autoimmune disease it

affects the connective tissue it can

affect the skin it can affect the joints

can affect the digestion

um I think the best thing to do is to um

take high levels of vitamin D because

that can actually help you

hopefully put some of these symptoms in

remission and act as an

anti-inflammatory

so that would be the most important

thing to do and then try to focus on

just creating as much health as you

possibly can by doing the healthy keto

and especially prolonged fasting regular

intermittent fasting because when you

fast

you heal the immune system so that’s

that’s what I would recommend for that

very good okay I’ve got sander all set

up for us and Sandra if you’ll unmute

yourself you’re on with Dr Berg for your

one question go

hi Dr Berg thank you thank you thank you

for sharing all your years of experience

with health and wellness nutrition with

all of us and I Now understand why I

feel so much better with prolonged

fasting

my question is I’m now in my fourth

month of following your Healthy keto and

intermittent fasting guidelines which

has included Your recommended liver

support supplements and I’m wondering

will I eventually be able to eliminate

my symptoms from Tire mean intolerance

since so many healthy keto food and

supplements are high in tyramine

I I think I think it’s potentially uh

possible but uh as long as you keep

everything else in check I think you can

definitely eliminate these intolerances

um you know it’s it’s very it’s a good

question because I’ll get other people

that will say if I do this long enough

will I be able to get rid of

um like an autoimmune disease or will I

be able to get rid of insulin resistance

or am I diabetes

um the answer is yes

but um when you if but but it comes with

kind of a catch for me too like well can

I ever go back to my normal Foods I’m

like

no because those are not normal Foods so

if you’re maintaining these things I

think you absolutely positively can do

that because even if you have a genetic

problem

um you can the genes don’t control you

it’s like the epigenetics your lifestyle

what you do your

you as a person can actually override

that and really put these genes into

under your control so absolutely

positively yes thank you

that’s terrific well thank you and why

don’t you get back with us as we ask

everyone to do uh Sandra uh and let us

know how you’re doing and if you uh you

know were able to move past this

particular Challenge and we sure

appreciate you coming on with us from

Salt Lake all right hey Steve Steve I

just want to um another story I had had

someone um

this is a long time ago they called me

up and they said yeah your program

didn’t work I said what do you mean he

goes well I did I did it for two weeks

and it did help but then I went back to

my normal foods and then it came back I

said uh okay

um

what are you eating you know it’s just

completely junk food but

the liver the liver actually takes a

beating it can bounce back pretty uh I

mean fairly quick but it does take a

longer time to really uh stabilize the

liver but

data that you could strip off 50 of the

fat in your liver within two weeks I

mean that’s like wow incredible

incredible to be able to do that and um

so

I’ve seen some incredible things so uh

the body has this incredible ability to

bounce back and heal itself it put in

the right condition

yeah well I tell you I always uh chime

in uh and the biggest factor that I

found in following uh these guidelines

no cures involved is my emotional state

I really suffer when I eat sugar and

carbs and all that uh I mean and it

takes about two or three days if I get

off a healthy eating for me to really

realize I don’t know what how am I why

am I so depressed why am I so down and

it seems like it sneaks up on me and I

realize well and so uh you know that’s

been a good

um Rod so to speak to keep me on check

more than weight or perception of some

kind of health because I feel good I

like to feel good and emotionally that

comes about a lot less depression so on

just from eating as you said you know

real food it’s not like you’re trying to

you know sacrifice or something you’re

just trying to get rid of the junk that

seems to surround us today so thank you

for that uh Dr Berg yeah I think so for

for some reason you just don’t like

feeling depressed is that what you’re

trying to tell me yeah I didn’t I don’t

like it some people I think they really

love it but for me not for me

okay

all right so uh we had our first quiz

question which you

um kind of regurgitated in a different

way but we’re trusting that the audience

uh understood what you said and here’s

the following uh answers from them 80 of

the respondents say it’s true and 20 say

it’s false there’s this is a very

interesting thing because this is

something very new for me as an

understanding because in my mind I

thought all toxic Metals

um were just toxic but apparently

they have the potential at least in

animal studies they can act as an

essential nutrient

and if you deplete them of a hundred

percent of it you start having problems

in reproduction and growth so

this kind of you know leads me to

believe that um

all these things in the Earth all these

minerals the trace minerals probably we

need all of them uh to some degrees some

degree and uh

um because if you look at there’s only

so many essential minerals or trace

minerals or vitamins but other ones are

not essential because

um you know we really haven’t found the

evidence but that doesn’t mean it’s not

essential

they just haven’t found it yet but um so

I think we do need um everything as a

package but just the key with the toxic

Metals is that they’re more poisons is

it’s the dose it’s that’s the dose so

you don’t you want to keep it low Becca

from YouTube I think she’s got a good

question should I be taking your

gallbladder formula if I already have

gallstones well uh bile salts which is

in the gallbladder formula has been

known to help break down gallstones so

that would be a smart thing to do

because what is a gallstone it’s a it’s

a super concentrated usually cholesterol

Stone well how did it develop what

condition it develops from a person not

having enough

bile but yet having too much

concentrated cholesterol

so what do we do do we just cut out the

cholesterol or do we just increase the

bile

well I like uh number two that seems to

be

smarter so here’s poor Sandy from

Facebook how can I get rid of bloating I

don’t eat as much as I should because of

the bloating my doctors gave me meds for

gas and bloating but they’re not working

help hmm

yeah I I’m I’ll release that video that

I did on bloating apparently I didn’t

really see yet because this is the video

that you need to watch

um the the most important thing to

realize about bloating it’s not about

adding something to the diet or a remedy

or anything you want to subtract

something you want to get rid of

something it’s usually related to food

okay it’s related food and um at the

very top of the list

um

but what creates the bloating is the gas

from the microbes the microbes are

fermenting something and they usually

ferment these things called

carbohydrates and um what happens is

that if you can eliminate right now not

just um

what you might think is carbohydrates

but also the fiber which is the

carbohydrate that would be a good thing

and start cutting down fiber and that

includes all these newfangled uh

functional fibers that are in the keto

treats especially like the inulin and

the guar gum and uh

all these different fibers that they

come out with so I would just uh corn

soluble fiber tapioca fiber just that

get rid of all those and go low on the

vegetables right now too and of course

I’m assuming you’re not doing grains or

fruit because that’s the worst or beans

but just eliminate the grains and start

cutting down vegetables maybe you want

to cook them or have some just fermented

a small amount and that that gas should

go away

versus trying to

add a remedy

um

I would do that secondary secondarily

because um it’s usually you’re eating

something that’s fermenting in the wrong

place like in your small intestine

um but I will release this video which I

think will explain everything

um I’ll try to do that tomorrow David

from Facebook is there a relationship

between diet sodas and elevated glucose

levels good question

um yes and no

um there’s kind of a mixed study on that

I think I think they do indirectly

um because they do affect the microbiome

so these artificial sweeteners affect

the microbiome if you affect the

microbiome that can create

insulin resistance it can create

problems in many different issues

um with blood sugars and Insulin

problems so the answer would be yes Ben

from Facebook what are the best sources

of natural potassium our bodies need at

least 4 700 milligrams 4 700

that’s a lot

that’s more more quantity than any other

nutrient that you would need it’s just

like our bossy a lot of potassium so

what has a lot of potassium uh the leafy

greens avocados

um vegetables things like that there is

potassium and

fish and meats as well but not as much

there is potassium and fruit but it

comes with a lot of the sugar so the

best source would be consuming I like to

get it from

um from salad and so I’ll do about seven

to ten cups of salad every single day

might seem like a lot but it’s not too

bad if you have to have more of a dense

vegetable you can do maybe four to five

cups a day it’s not that hard

um

that’s where you get your potassium uh

you know the best sources uh the banana

is just loaded way too much fructose

which is going to act just like alcohol

in your liver so we don’t want to do

that

um so

I think that’s what you you’re missing

and then that should uh

handle the void of potassium Debbie from

YouTube uh I’m sorry about her question

what’s the best way to naturally address

cancer of the stomach

well I’ve done videos on this you should

watch all of them and I would the most

important thing to do is a prolonged

fast depending on the severity if it’s a

stage four you’d want to do no less than

21 days fast right up right off the bat

um of course taking your nutrients along

the way but that just adds such a great

uh protection

even if you decide to get chemo or

radiation the fasting makes your cells

stronger

so here’s the challenge that people are

up against with cancer you don’t want to

end up in the boat like this this person

is you want to do every everything you

can to

um

avoid or prevent

cancer so but unfortunately sometimes we

don’t do that and all of a sudden we end

up with it so now we’re in a situation

the uh if you go to the medical route it

it does get rid of cancer but there’s

always a very small amount of cancer

cells that survive and they become

stronger and the the recurrence

there’s a high probability of it

recurring and so now we have to deal

with that so there’s a protocol that we

have on

um in some of the videos on someone

else’s website not mine

that was based on some research we did

in Europe

that involves a certain protocol of

nutrition to help

um block

this certain ends enzyme or biochemical

pathway

that cancer cells need to build their

membranes

so that’s a really strategic way to kind

of put things at Bay but but more

important than that is this prolonged

fasting you need to start doing that on

a regular basis basis and um

get some leverage over this cancer okay

very good what would you suggest for

those of us who don’t or at least we

hope we don’t have cancer as a sort of

preventative type fast what kind of

length and what frequency would we do

that

um I should actually create a video on

this in fact I I will because

um

the you know like Sun Tzu has a book

um the technology of warts or Not The

Art of War I’d get the technology of

Wharf it’s a great book you can get it

online on Amazon but there’s a principle

that’s unsuit use Sun Tzu used uh of

winning his Battles by

avoiding battle it’s winning the war

without going to battle

so this is all about prevention so you

have to understand the nature the

intention of a cancer cell and get all

that Intel information so then you can

understand it more like with with cancer

it starts off as a normal cell and it

converts over into a cancer cell

interesting so why well it’s it’s your

your uh there’s damage in the cell and a

very specific part of the cell called

the mitochondria

so that is the secret to preventing

cancers to avoid things that damage the

mitochondria now what does that mean

well

let’s go right down the list what

damages mitochondria

um processed foods refined Foods

especially refined sugars

a refined carbohydrates

um very very uh stress chronic stress

will do it

um inactivity not exercising as a

causation Factor

um and then probably what’s so

significant about inactivity is that

exercise itself is probably the biggest

inducer of making your mitochondria

strong and bigger and roma bust and more

efficient because of the energy Factory

so exercise alone is one of the most

potent ways to prevent cancer that I can

even think of and then if you also do

intermittent fasting where your cell

goes into autophagy and starts

not just the irregular cells but but the

mitochondria does a little autophagy

it’s called mitophagy and it actually

these damaged mitochondria get get

absorbed and into the body and then they

get rebuilt

so the damaged ones get fixed and the

ones that are too damaged get replaced

I mean talk about the ultimate

preventative for cancers is the fasting

and then we have the the keto the

healthy version of the ketogenic diet

too so

um the program that I recommend I think

is is one of the best ways to avoid

cancer because it’s creating Health it’s

avoiding carbs

and you’re reducing stress and you’re

exercising it’s like really good

epigenetic factors Romeo from Facebook

is keto okay for someone with

mitochondrial disease is there a disease

specific to that it’s especially good

for that in fact I don’t know of any

other therapy that would be good for

that but yes it’s uh the the

mitochondria loves ketones ketones give

a lot more efficiency to the

mitochondria the mitochondria is a

factory and it it’s a that it’s a

fascinating Factory that turns your your

food into energy

and there’s even um there’s a battery

going on in there too with electrons and

all sorts of things it’s fascinating and

so um

keto diet is the best thing for your

mitochondria that you can do now once

you have cancer

um there’s there’s

some additional things that you need to

do when we talk about that in the videos

on cancer especially the most recent

ones

all right well good luck with that and

let’s get uh I wish the audience good

luck with the next question here’s

another true falser for you

okay true or false the liver uh

accumulates and stores toxins as one of

its functions see ham from Facebook

could you please make a video on several

riotic dermatitis face and scalp yeah

that’s a classic

Omega-3

uh fatty acid deficiency so you need

fish oils I would in fact I wouldn’t do

fish oils I would do cod liver oil and

that way you can have the vitamin D and

the vitamin A both essential for your

skin

um but that’s really what you’re running

into as a deficiency of that it’s either

that you don’t have enough of it in your

diet or you have too much of the

competitor which is omega-6 fatty acids

which are in the corn oil the canola oil

the soy oil the cottonseed oil the those

type of hidden things in our food supply

as well as

um

you know if you’re if you’re going out

to any restaurants you’re going to get a

lot of those foods and unfortunately the

a lot of the meats especially chicken

um are fed these grains with a lot of

omega-6 so you’re not getting the ratios

unless you’re doing

Pastor raised eggs and or the chickens

that are from the the farm that you know

they don’t only eat cranes and then the

grass-fed grass finish beef or lamb

is going to be very important all right

very good jotaro from YouTube my urine

is brown I have normal CPK levels

although they get higher after exercise

and my creatine levels are normal what’s

going on

sounds like you need a deeper test

to figure out what’s going on I will be

doing a video on this this is there’s a

completely I think brand new

um field of evaluation that I’m very

interested in I’m studying it right now

hardcore and it’s called metabolomics

and it’s a it’s the study of metabolites

what’s that it’s like the end product of

a lot of the proteins in the body you’re

looking at biomarkers that give you

Clues on the biochemistry of your body

so if you were to get a test metabolomic

test you’re checking like maybe the

urine or your blood and instead of just

looking at the usual stuff you’re

looking at a lot more data involved in

the biochemistry biochemical Pathways

they’re all there there’s motion

involved in these Pathways and it’s just

a matter of understanding

um these end products in this Pathway to

see what’s blocked

um or see what’s moving too much or or

whatever or what’s toxic and then from

there you can really figure out what’s

going on unfortunately

um medicine is the opposite of that they

just basically

tree they diagnose and treat diagnose

and treat you know we couldn’t we didn’t

find anything here’s these medications

uh close person

um around me uh 14 different drugs and

um very young

and there’s they can’t figure it out so

they keep giving more drugs I’m like

wow talk about

not not understanding the biochemistry

and really figuring out why in the first

place in a very um

kind of like the diet is not important

let’s just kind of ignore that

um completely crazy so

um stay tuned for more information about

this because yes uh the DNA testing is

important but this metabolomic uh

testing is I think of the wave of the

future

um for medicine and finding someone that

really can understand interpret it

that’s good is going to be uh

really good uh so

of course they have to overcome some of

the drug companies but at the very least

you can be aware of what this test is

and find a really good competent doctor

that can do the evaluation and and help

you and your family

all right very good let’s see our second

question true false uh ask the liver

accumulates and stores toxins is one of

its functions and the audience said at

least 95 percent of them uh that it’s

true in the other five percent are

holding out for a false false Steve is

completely false the liver does not

store

or accumulate toxins and this is good

that um this is coming up because

um

it’s under it’s really important to

understand that the liver fat cells

accumulate toxins but not the liver

cells the liver cells detoxify they

remove poisons but they don’t hold

toxins

they remove they’re a detoxification

mechanisms going on the liver that just

turns toxins into poisons but they don’t

accumulate them

that’s it that’s interesting so they get

rid of them and uh in a in a what so

they take a fat soluble Toxin and turn

it into a water soluble Toxin and then

it it goes right out through the bile

ducts out into the small intestine and

out through your stool so some of it

goes out to the kidney too but um I

think that’s important to know

all right so uh Elena from YouTube why

am I still getting hot flashes at 69

years of age

ah man I’m sorry to hear that that must

really be terrible

um but there are some things that

um hopefully you can try I would take

vitamin E in the form of tocotrenals I

would take that before bed I would also

if that doesn’t work I would try sea

kelp to get some extra iodine

if that didn’t help uh number three I

would use what’s called whole desiccated

adrenal support to support the adrenals

to hopefully help

um bolster that backup organ the

adrenals

so then the whole pathway can actually

be more complete from your

pituitary to your hypothalamus down to

the ovaries which are kind of gone into

retirement so you have this

this backup adrenal that’s kind of doing

all the work right now I will say this

uh Steve there’s a

especially for women and even men as

they get older

um one thing that’s very important for

hormones to make sure they have enough

hormones and their sex hormones

um is they’re all of these hormones are

made from cholesterol so

anything that blocks cholesterol

anything that inhibits it or if you’re

going a low cholesterol diet you may

find a worsening of your your body

especially the endocrine system if

you’re going low cholesterol that’s one

thing

the other precursor to allow these

hormones is DHEA

you don’t need if you’re a female you

don’t need a lot just a little bit but

that can really act as a a nice uh

fulfillment of your hormones so you can

have this uh this more more raw material

for your hormones to exist and men can

have more too if you have too much you

can make too much testosterone but

um women actually need a certain amount

of testosterone to be healthy so you

don’t want to bring it down to zero and

so

um what’s interesting about

testosterone and estrogen is

um all of the

estrogen that both men and women have

actually come from

testosterone

which is interesting

so it converts into that so anyway

there’s a there’s a lot to it but that

should give you some basic things good

well good luck with that hot flashes of

69 is awful let’s go back to the Green

Room this time we have Jerry coming to

us from Toledo Ohio and if you’re

unmuted Jerry go ahead with your

question please

hi Dr Berg uh first off uh big fan love

your show my background is nutrition and

exercise my retired school teacher and

coach

and I’m just uh love your show

um I have one of my best friends as a

practitioner and

um he says that within the first 15

minutes to 30 minutes of waking up you

should have you should have either

protein

protein or fat

otherwise your liver will release sugar

and then in turn will uh boost your

blood sugar and

um

because I personally feel better when I

do intermittent fasting but he says that

when you when you do that your body is

spiking your blood sugar and then for

the rest of the day your blood sugar is

going to be basically like a super ball

going up and down if you don’t

eat

I would love I would love to talk to him

and to see his uh

is reasoning behind that because

what he’s talking about is something

called gluconeogenesis the liver makes

sugar right the liver makes sugar and

usually see this with diabetics

in a significant way their liver is

pumping in all the sugar because they

have insulin resistance

um what we’re trying to do is we’re

trying to fix insulin resistance

if you wake up in the morning and you

have high sugar

and you didn’t eat any sugar

that means you have insulin resistance

and it’s called the dawn phenomena and

that’s a lot of gluconeogenesis and the

way to solve that is to fix insulin

resistance which you do by fasting

um

so you have a couple of things that

happen in the morning if you

um don’t eat

um your body is going to then keep

tapping into the reserves of fat for

fuel once you’re converted I think what

he’s Mis missing the data he’s missing

is that

um what you’re doing is you’re

converting your body over the ketones as

fuel and that takes it some time but

you’re you’re running off ketones you’re

no longer running on glucose so you

don’t have to worry about that next meal

getting your fuel because you convert it

over the fat field so you and all the

fuel that your body needs including

glucose can be made from uh your own

bodies tapping into fat

um and so

if you actually do eat a breakfast or

eat protein or fat in the morning what’s

going to happen now especially if you

eat that protein you’re going to spike

um your insulin okay and then that’s

going to lower the blood sugar

then about an hour and a half you’re

going to be hungry

and it starts the whole cycle if you

don’t eat

and you’re fat adapted your body is

going to basically be mobilizing fat and

you can go for a long periods of time

and even I mean here’s the thing to do

is just check your blood sugars

they should be normal in the morning if

you’re if you’re adapted and if you’re

not a diabetic and you don’t have

insulin resistance so your blood sugars

will be normal and so that I think that

would solve the argument right there is

just to check your blood sugars and then

let’s say the blood sugars are high

would you want to eat they’re high no

you want to exercise

um so

I guess that would be my answer but I

would love to kind of talk to that

person and work out through what they’re

thinking or what what they’re using or

what reference they’re using and then we

can actually figure out

really where the confusion is because I

really think it’s just the absence of

knowledge of the keto

adapt keto adaptation

one other quick question if I may

um as far as when I do intermittent

fasting I’m at the present time trying

to lose around 50 pounds and

um from my understanding

um I should be getting about one gram of

protein per lean body mass in order to

maintain my muscle mass

um and when I intermittent fast I

usually go till one or two o’clock and

then stop eating around six o’clock

um according to that method I would be

needing to get around 200 grams of

protein

and

um

is that possible or is that a good idea

in your eyes no I I think um that date

is uh usually for bodybuilders uh maybe

in their 20s um you might need that much

I would go with uh

0.65 to 8 grams

so that would be less

and then the other thing too is um

when you start cutting down your protein

because you’re doing intermittent

fasting too your efficiency of those

amino acids become better because you’re

going through autophagy and you’re like

the question is if you go on the long

fast where are you getting your protein

it’s from autophagy your body is

recycling cleaning up all the damaged

protein and using that as new protein

that is kind of where where you want to

go into to start

replenishing the protein you have

um

so I think I would I would

I would have a little less protein and

just make sure it’s quality which I

think you’re already doing eggs fish you

know healthy Meats

um and then I think you’re going to be

totally fine

thank you so much all right thanks so

much Jerry for joining us from Toledo

and and Steve uh so

um

I think I’ve mentioned this before I

have a lot of arthritis and old injuries

fracturing bones arthritis in my neck

and I have to really work on that

because of the arthritis so so I’ve

decided to go do some stem cell therapy

um and the type that is the real stem

cells therapy where you’re basically

taking fat cells from your body and then

doing something with them and

re-injecting them into your body to get

the stem cell so I’m going to be doing

that in three weeks which I’ll have to

do a video on that but um the problem

that I have Steve is that you need to

have a certain level of fat

to be able to do that and I don’t have

enough fat so I have to get some fat and

unfortunately I I can’t use someone

else’s fat because I did find a lot of

people that would volunteer their fat

for for this cause so um

um I’m doing the exact opposite and I’m

telling people too I’m having

snacks between meals doing apples to try

to gain enough fat in three weeks

to be able to have enough fat to do this

which I don’t it’s really wild to

reverse this flow because I don’t feel

good I don’t feel good doing this like I

got brain fog I feel tired I’m like

okay I can’t wait till this is done but

uh I have to literally have uh gain

about seven or five to seven pounds of

actual fat on my body so

well well some people love that but I

don’t I don’t like it but um yeah that’s

not a challenge worth of fat right I

mean they want like a bowling ball full

of it that’s amazing I guess they have

to harvest that much five five pounds of

extra fat is actually way more than you

might think oh yeah okay pretzel maker

from YouTube is it normal for blood

sugars to spike after exercise that’s

interesting not it’s not normal because

it should go down because you you’re

burning off your sugar but there could

be like some compensating thing and also

you can have like instant resistance and

that could that could create a problem

because you’re also generating a lot of

um stress hormones cortisol and you

might be mobilizing sugar and if you’re

doing intense

exercise uh you know you’re you’re

actually living off your sugar you’re

mobilizing the store glycogen but you’re

going to be using that so it might it

might go up temporarily uh to to feed

the muscles because you’re doing a type

of exercise but if you have a lower

level aerobic exercise where you’re

doing long walks or bike things like

that

um within the first 30 minutes you’re

going to be burning off a lot of that

stored sugar and your blood sugars are

not gonna usually go up and um

but your body’s your body will try to

keep them from going down too by

mobilizing different types of fuel so

normally shouldn’t go up question number

three here it is why can’t we

assess a magnesium deficiency in a blood

test

that’s very interesting audience climb

on it

look in your crystal ball and come back

by the way our producer Terry has a

recommendation he said for you to join

me at Krispy Kreme for a week or two and

you’ll have the necessary tonnage to

proceed with your test oh oh you know

what that’s a that’s a really good point

because

I could very easily just live on potato

chips and popcorn stuff like that the

problem with that is you don’t want to

do this with all the extra inflammation

that comes through with those

carbohydrates

if you do things like

maybe

um sweet potato or berries a lot of

berries and apples what will happen is

that you’ll get at least less

inflammation as you gain

more weight and fat interesting well

Terry you should be ashamed of yourself

I want you to retract that suggestion

right away Carmen from YouTube I’m

allergic to Seafood what alternatives

would you suggest to provide the same

types of nutrition

well probably the biggest nutrient that

you’re going to run into is being

deficient is the omega-3 fatty acids so

you could probably maybe do algae

algae might be a solution for the

omega-3 as far as the iodine goes

um hopefully you’re not sensitive to

iodine

because you need iodine and I mean the

question is could you do sea kelp is

that an issue is that a possibility

because that would give you the iodine

that you need why don’t we wrap up the

green room where we’re going to go to

Osiris you know Cyrus if you’ll unmute

yourself you’re on with Dr Berg

Dr Berg good morning it’s a privilege to

speak to you and ask you a question I

recently been watching a lot of your

videos and it’s very informative

I’m five six I’m considered morbidly

obese and I don’t have any issues as far

as cholesterol or diabetic but I do feel

that there’s so much information I’ve

run across intermittent fasting I’ve run

across the carnivore diet I’ve run

across what you’ve shared with keto and

I just some direction as far as so much

information out there I was thinking

initially of doing a 36 hour fast to

quick start my metabolism and get some

testosterone and then go into a 24 20

slash four hour uh intermittent fasting

to do strictly carnivore but then I know

you’ve done videos on 16 8 and keto my

wife she’s plant-based and so I’m not

plant-based I I don’t like it but I was

just wondering if you can share some

information my cholesterol is about 220

it’s a little on the high side but

that’s because I’ve eaten poor Meats as

opposed to grass-fed grass finished and

um from time to time I I have the

occasional coffee with sugar or when I’m

driving I feel the fog so I have to pull

over and grab a donut just to

get things back into a a focused mind

but I don’t want to be that way I don’t

want to be morbidly obese I’m 51.

I’m about 270. I want to be at around

205.

what got it meant yeah so um how would

you say your your willpower is in

general do you have a lot of discipline

or do you have some some weaknesses

within the discipline or The Willpower

um I would say if I’m being honest with

myself when I’m focused and I’m targeted

on on a goal I can reach it uh

because I’m where I’m at I can’t

honestly say oh yeah I’m focused and I

have willpower because I’ve gotten so

big right there’s one thing to say and

then another thing to actually see it

the fruit of it uh Again by the grace of

God I don’t have any major diseases or

illnesses but I I can improve on The

Willpower for sure

okay great so um so when you enter into

this ketosis there’s a couple ways of

going about it um you can you can just

do one or the other if you wanted if you

want to go low carb or you can do

fasting

um like Steve for example does more of

the fasting in the keto

um if you combine both of them you’ll

get there faster so I think the best way

to do this is step one cut out snacks

step two

cut out your breakfast

um

and then also start uh preparing your

your food so in your house there’s not a

lot of these little snack foods or

refined carbs that you could go to it’d

make it difficult to go get them to make

it easier on yourself just kind of make

sure you replace a lot of the foods in

your fridge and stuff so you don’t have

all these

Temptations

um and so that’ll make it a little bit

easier

um and then here’s the thing as soon as

you start to take action and just start

um you’re going to notice something like

wow it’s uh my Cravings are less I’m not

as hungry so that’s going to make it

easier and then you

then you keep going and then you take

your lunch and your dinner as two meals

and then you slowly start to collapse

them with someone like you

um you’ll probably do the best if you

can do one meal a day and don’t worry

about calories just

have one meal a day and uh

and then that way you have like 20 you

know more than 20 hours of fasting

and that would actually get you to where

you need to go

um really A to B if you had exercise to

that and plus there’s no Cravings so

it’s going to make it a lot easier and

then the only other thing you have to

deal with at that point is like past

habits that you have like routines

social activity Temptation with other

people birthdays events and those type

of things which is a problem but you

want to build on your success

and um I think what’s really cool about

the fasting is that it actually

strengthens your willpower because uh

you uh

it’s like you have to avoid something

and then you’ll get stronger over time

and then once you do it

you get the results then you can’t you

won’t go back because you’re going to

feel so good just like Steve you’re

going to just feel good

um like wow this is this is really worth

it and then fill in all the other

details with the videos I have

um

um but right now I think you have enough

information to be dangerous I mean

Successful

um so it’s just a matter of uh diving in

I wouldn’t even

do anything from right now other than

I’m starting immediately

and then um Dive Right In get your feet

wet don’t think about it

and then just keep being educated about

it because uh

um there’s no reason at your age why you

shouldn’t

be 205 and feel strong and then avoid

all the other health problems that come

along with the issues of having insulin

resistance Dr Berg I do have one other

question if you don’t mind yeah go ahead

in the mornings uh apple cider vinegar

or or krill oil versus fish oil just

those additional supplements that will

supplement or add I should say to what

I’m not eating uh do you recommend doing

those type of supplements in a carnivore

or those type of supplements in a Keto

type

um both both

um

because there’s there’s two main

categories so see when you when you do

carnivore or keto you’re

they’re both ketogenic diets

carnivore is just without any plants

okay so you’re not doing vegetables or

fruits or anything like that

so they’re both keto they’re um so when

you burn ketones there’s two general

things that you need to uh be aware of

one is the electrolytes including sea

salt more of those and then B vitamins

because

um that way

um you just satisfied more of the demand

for those two categories and then you’ll

have you have you’ll have very little

complications you feel good you’ll

you’ll substitute the great all the

things you need but you mentioned the

Krill for the omega-3 that’s another

thing but you could be in carnivore or

keto easily get that from fish oils

things like that so but the electrolytes

in the B vitamins are two at the top of

the list of course

you get electrolytes with trace minerals

that then that’s the icing on the cake

I’m sorry I shouldn’t talk about cake

but but trace minerals are going to be

good for you

um like the zinc

or testosterone iodine or

brain IQ like just so I think that would

be my answer on that thank you sir

you’re welcome that’s great Osiris

thanks for a great call and let’s go to

question number three which asked why

can’t we assess magnesium deficiency in

a blood test and we’ve got uh is that

called a core I’m a hundred percent uh

say because it’s stored in the tissue

and bones and not in the blood that is

correct 99 of all magnesium is not in

the blood

it’s an instant inside the cell

intracellular so

that goes along with other other

nutrients too like potassium

um I mean the thing about the blood is

the body does everything it can to keep

a constant in the blood so

this is the problem when you get a blood

test it doesn’t really give you a lot of

information it doesn’t tell you what’s

happening with your insulin levels

um

because there’s a lot of things

compensated to keep that blood stable

so there’s other testing like I said

that metabolomic testing that looks

deeper into the cells within the blood

and other tissues to really figure this

out but I want to do more videos on this

because

um boy if I had that in practice oh my

goodness it would be a game changer

these this this new technology of being

able to test people in a more Dynamic

way and really figure things out because

it’s all about just getting

more knowledge about uh or information

about someone’s problem and uh

that’s really what we need more of um

to get get all the information so we can

solve the mystery okay true or false

there is strong evidence that depression

is a serotonin deficiency in the brain

climb on that folks Becky from YouTube

should menopausal women do omad I need

to lose 60 pounds absolutely yes they

should do omad and that would give you

good 23 hours of fasting which is going

to be

awesome to be able to you know start tap

finally tapping into your fats so you

can actually run on your fat lose the

use the fat up

to the point where um you can really hit

your goal I think that would be smart

all right very good Mary from Facebook

Ken dim help with night sweats for

someone who is menopausal and under a

great deal of stress

yes yes dim is a concentrated

cruciferous compound

um

you know these plant-based estrogens

that like

um cruciferous for example uh they’re

phytoestrogens and people don’t

understand like what does that mean it

means they have the ability to um act

like estrogen

but help balance estrogen so you don’t

have the dangerous one

you have the protective one

so that you don’t have to worry about

getting more estrogen by taking these

compounds because that’s not how they

work I mean just take a look at the

strength of them

I mean it’s like ten thousand to a

hundred thousand times less strong on

The receptors for estrogen so you’re

talking about real subtle changes but

potent changes to help balance estrogen

within the receptors uh to balance out

the good and bad uh to lower the risk of

things like breast cancer and estrogen

dominance and fibroids and ovarian cysts

and fibrocystic breast disease things

like that there is a strong evidence of

depression is a serotonin deficiency in

the brain and they can’t make up their

mind fifty percent say yay 50 say nay

there is

zero actual evidence that

there is a serotonin deficiency in your

brain serotonin is a neurotransmitter

and there’s a drug antipsychotic called

um

um selective serotonin reptic Inhibitors

and basically

what they do is they block the receptive

serotonin so then your serotonin level

goes up

there is no evidence that that will um

improve

depression but it can create a numb an

emotion numbing in effect numbing your

emotions and also numbing

other things too there’s a severe side

effect of Black Box warning label

suicide there’s other things like um

numbing of your genitalia

um erectile dysfunction which

can

last for a long time even if you stop

the medication so it’s a really crazy

thing because this theory that you have

a chemical imbalance in the brain uh

has not proven out to be true at all yet

they’ve sold billions and billions and

billions of these drugs

and unfortunately someone goes in there

thinking there’s a lot of research

behind this but there’s not there’s not

there’s not any research that shows that

it’s a in fact there is some research

that shows that too much serotonin

causes depression

so

so anyway I want to release a video on

that and it’s

um since I if I’m not mistaken

I think 15 at least 15 to 20 of the

population is on a psych drug

they should they should know more about

this information they should know the

research

and um

they should also be given Alternatives

like vitamin D

vitamin D think about in the winter

people get depressed why because of the

lack of vitamin D

but there’s other things too

um

but stay tuned for that video Teresa

from YouTube I love spirulina please

share with us your thoughts on the

benefits of spirulina

NASA studied Spirulina for their

astronauts in space because it literally

is um

one of the nutrient dense foods out

there and said to find a way to to

consume it but it has protein and has

all the vitamins it has the minerals

it’s very very interesting

um it says B12

and so it’s if you’re a vegan you should

be doing spirulina on a regular basis is

chlorophyll it has phytonutrients

um

so it’s a it’s a really good

um product and

you can get it in a shake as a vegetable

or a salad substitute so I have some

information on my website on that but um

for those people that don’t like salads

you can drink drink your salad spirulina

is just a good good source of that Lily

from YouTube I am fasting and wondering

how much wheatgrass powder can I have

without breaking my fast or disrupting

autophagy would the guidelines be the

same for uh chorella did I say that

right

both both similar

um one’s algae one’s from a wheatgrass

But realize there’s not

even is under one calorie

one one calorie per serving so you’re

not going to have to worry about your

blood sugars you’re not gonna have to

worry about autophagy because it’s so

this this whole breaking of ketosis has

to do with calories how many calories

it’s not and it’s just insignificant so

I wouldn’t worry about

supplements unless you start adding in

these protein supplements

protein powders the whey protein powders

that type of thing well thank you so

much for your attention your questions

stay tuned for more uh interesting

videos this next week have a wonderful

weekend I’ll see you next week
