okay hey guys I have another amazing

interview I want to introduce you to

Renner so hi Brenner how are you I’m

doing great how are you great

in fact you sent me before and after I

was just you know really impressed so I

wanted to get to know exactly how you

achieve that and can you tell me a

little bit about have you had a weight

problem for a long period of time or

will you stand and you gained weight

what’s your story ’no thumbnail sketch

well basically I’ve always been a thin

person my whole life never had any

weight issues with very athletic I used

to serve in the military so I was in the

army very athletic

enjoy very ethnic healthy life uh I’m

getting ready to be 40 years old oh wow

and where did you go to basic training I

did it at Fort Jackson South Carolina oh

my gosh what month did you go and did

you go in the summer I went in the

summer of 1999 September I was September

of 99 while I was there at Fort Jackson

in 83 in the summer it’s so hot there

you actually sweat out of the back of

your your hands it’s so hot hey they’re

very mean down there to what these mean

as they were back then I don’t know I

think they had the stress cards I don’t

know if you came in there when they

distress cards they were me they didn’t

have a stress card I took it personally

I was like I was that it’s very very

rude like oh my god it was terrible so I

didn’t know it was a whole game but

anyway getting back to you you went to

basic training and then what happened um

I went to basic training had a military

life got out of the military went back

to school got a degree I had a child

skill was then after matter of fact I

had my baby my oldest friend Courtney

lost the weight with no problems with

matter of fact people thought I was sick

then so let’s fast forward about ten

years later

Sanofi about ten years later all of a

sudden I had a very stressful job

started gaining a lot of weight plus I

quit smoking so I gained like 40 or 50

pounds and then I quit smoking and then

I got pregnant right after I quit

smoking which was interesting and then

after I had my baby I was at about a

hundred and ninety pounds 187 190 for a

long time he was well over a year which

I wasn’t used to that and then I just

got to a point where I was like you know

I if I keep letting this go I’m going to

end up 200 pounds I’m going to end up

350 pounds it’s just never going to stop

so what I started doing was I started

changing my diet basically so finally

after I change my diet I did get back

down to 160 which was the pre weight

pregnancy weight then I started working

out doing the traditionals a low-fat

diet working out and guess what I wasn’t

losing weight and I was killing myself

at again so then I ran into intermittent

fasting and it changed my life

I started intermittent fasting I said

okay you know what this sounds like

it’ll work I’m going to try it first

week was very tough because I was used

to eating 3 4 or 5 times a day then the

second week like a breeze I did it like

a champ third the third week did it like

a champ really initially I did it

truthfully for two weeks and that’s when

I started losing the weight I lost like

within two weeks about 10 pounds Wow so

what was your pattern when you did this

the first and second week the first and

second week I basically did 268 so I

would start I would eat my lunch my

first meal of the day would be about

noon sometimes 1 o’clock in the morning

of course you might be a little bit

hungry but you get past that because

your body digests when you get used to

it but what I started doing is I would

have green tea in the morning it would

either if usually matcha green tea and I

would put MCT oil in my tea so I use a

lot of MCT oil and then I would take a

whole food vitamin and I drink a lot of

water

and what else I took chromium pills

because somebody had told me that that

helps with sugar cravings yeah so and

they really do work so I started taking

those probably two weeks after that but

once I started losing the weight with

intermittent fasting I you couldn’t stop

me at that point I was like this works

so again I guess by the grace of God I

ended up finding out about the ketogenic

diet so then I started cutting out sugar

so I basically have been introducing

both of those things into my lifestyle

but for sure I try to do hard for I’m

I’m hardcore in a minute faster and as

time went on maybe within a month I

started cutting my window to about four

o’clock and then sometimes three o’clock

um so in other words you wouldn’t eat

until three or four o’clock sometimes I

wouldn’t eat til about three or four

o’clock or I would eat at noon and I

wouldn’t eat after like four okay so

basically what’s your window of eating

my window of eating on average right now

is between twelve and four you mean

twelve hours and four hours yeah so I’ll

eat I’ll eat lunch and then I’ll eat

again maybe at about four o’clock so are

you dinner at four oh four hours twelve

and four not twelve hours and four hours

twelve and four times four okay good

that makes sense yeah so I just eat

virtually about two times a day and I

eat like a healthy meal like I eat meat

a vegetable just solid stuff I’ll eat

cream cheese I love cheese’s

I mean I’ll even eat for dinner

sometimes if I want to I’ll eat bacon

and eggs I’m huge on avocados so as you

can see I try to do the ketogenic diet

as well with my intermittent fasting and

that has really worked my energy is

through the roof so so so for those of

you that are watching that don’t know

anything about this the combination of

adding ketosis with eMeter fasting is

are the most powerful ways to get the

weight off simply because it heals

insulin and I just want to I want to

just say one thing

like the question I always get is how do

you get what triggers ketosis what food

triggers ketosis no food it’s the

absence of insulin that’s what triggers

ketosis so you can eat too much protein

and trigger insulin you can eat more too

many carbs and trigger insulin that is

basically neutral however it just by the

fact of eating it can trigger insulin so

that’s why the combination does work if

you’re trying to lose weight you have to

do it gradually you know for some people

because do it too fast if your

hypoglycemic you can crash and burn but

there is a way to do it healthily adding

a lot of vegetables and making sure your

vitamin mineral but I mean you’re just

you’re proof that it does work there’s

no one that can convince you that eating

five meals a day is a good thing anymore

now you are you also adding any exercise

in there - yes you know what the funny

thing is I don’t exercise as much I

might exercise three days three days out

of the week and that includes maybe a

four mile run so and that’s it I do want

to start weight training but other than

that I don’t

I work out 3 days a week maybe Wow and

how did you find my videos oh man just

googling searching I I’m a huge fan

first of all so anything I want to know

I’m like let’s ask dr. Burke could you

know so I’m going on your channel

looking for help with all kinds of

things I actually had a hair issue - I

had a hair issue and a skin issue I mean

I had a lot of different issues going on

and it all revolved around nutrition so

thank you for you know enlightening me

about that I actually take your

essential mineral which is helped a lot

with my hair because my hair was

thinning and interests of plants with

plant-based trace minerals the liquid ok

those just plant yeah the plant-based

trace minerals yeah mm-hmm so I

incorporated that into my diet as well

which gives me a lot of energy and man

I’ve just did a complete change in my

life and one thing I notice is that

other people notice

as well so they’re constantly asking me

questions I’ve got people at my job

subscribe to your channel and I was

really excited to do this interview

because I was telling people at my job

and they were like oh my goodness if dr.

Burdick that you send me the information

about I was like yeah so I’ve got people

at my job doing intermittent fasting

I’ve got people at my job asking me

questions about the essential minerals

and it’s just ignorance is not bliss so

it really can hurt you if you don’t know

that’s true there’s there’s a lot of

little deep dicted the Devils in the

details there’s a lot of details about

it that people need to understand like

for example trace minerals it’s hard to

get that from food if you don’t have

trace minerals you can start losing your

hair trace munoz basically help proteins

in your body hair nail skin collagen

joints so you know a lot of times people

are falling apart their skin gets loose

they might lose late lose weight but

they don’t look good as they are losing

weight so you look great I mean you look

like you’re very healthy so for people

to say it’s unhealthy they just don’t

understand it like I’ll see especially

dieticians who honestly you know there’s

been kind of influenced by the big food

manufacturing companies because they’ll

say something about intermittent fasting

or ketosis which tells you they don’t

have a clue of what it really is they

think that you’re going to be hungry

after period of time and go back to

carbs they think it’s a starvation diet

they think it’s the fats going to kill

your heart like all this false data or

it might lead to diabetes it’s just the

opposite it’s like it’s very healthy and

you could do it long-term but people I

think with you probably would agree now

that you’ve experienced it you you’re
