welcome back everyone

i always like to dive right in anything

that i say is definitely not meant to

replace your medical care check with

your

competent doctor before implementing any

of this information um

we have a ton of questions let’s see how

many questions we can get through today

steve

all right let’s let’s get them all right

all right i’m going to kick it off and

doc here’s our first one

all right the first question true false

the most common cause of a hypothyroid

disease situation is an iodine

deficiency

is that true

or false well the audience i know is on

it they are the fastest audience uh in

the world uh with answering these

questions so thank you for keeping the

show moving everybody else

and also why don’t we just go straight

to our green room let me see who i’m

going to pick on how about andrea from

boise idaho who got kicked off the

internet last week and we were all very

sad that she couldn’t come on but she’s

got an encore performance hang on just a

moment andrea let me bring you up and

andrew you’re on the air with dr berg

hi thank you for inviting me back i

appreciate it

dr berg i love you and um

i recommend you all the time i’m like dr

berg has a solution dr burke has a

solution so thank you so much my

question um i was diagnosed with

osteopenia

and i’d like to know how to remedy that

solution

okay um what eight can i ask your age

60.

okay

so so did did it sort of happen right

around menopause i mean like right when

you went through menopause or was it

just recently

um i just had a scan that’s the first

time i’ve ever had a scan so i don’t

actually know but

i do know that um i’m deficient in

vitamin d i can’t take vitamin d because

i sweat i get super super hot from the

inside

and so i feared this would happen and

lo and behold it did

okay so there’s a couple things i would

recommend because vitamin d basically

increases the absorption of calcium but

if you take calcium you’ll still get

some absorption i would definitely find

um

a good bone building supplement that

actually has the type of calcium

that is not calcium carbonate and i i

would if possible

start doing more fermented dairy

products definitely raw milk cheese if

you can get it from europe uh just

because the you need you need

calcium is kind of like the

the main one but it’s definitely not the

full picture you you need a really good

trace mineral product now the thing with

the bone building is that um it doesn’t

happen overnight it’s a slow process it

could take

up to you know four

five years to really get that back but

if you start now you shouldn’t have a

problem the other thing that i would um

do is watch my videos

on um

menopause as far as the relationship

between

estrogen and progesterone

and you know the other thing is that can

affect the bone is cortisol but

you know you can you could try to do

things to improve your stress but um

you know i’m assuming you’re on the keto

uh plan which is going to be really

helpful to just do the healthy version

of that so to build bone you know it’s

just

it’s nothing

the diet is not any different than just

a really healthy keto plan because

bone is built

with nutrition and i think

a lot of women go through menopause they

start having this

estrogen problem that then can lead to

a bone loss but

i think you can get it back and that’s

what i would recommend um

but definitely trace minerals a good

calcium product

and um

just give it some time and then also

send a little bit more details to dr

berg at dr berg.com

regarding this vitamin d situation i’m

very curious you may

benefit from more vitamin k2 and by the

way vitamin k2 would be essential for

you to start taking

immediately because um

that actually makes your bones really

really solid so

that way you can keep the calcium out of

this the soft tissues

and keep it in the bone

okay

okay yeah i will send you an email

well we look forward to that

well andrea thank you so much a great

chat and we’ll get back to more of you

in the green room shortly but i’m

talking about

fast the audience is just ripping right

through these questions and the first

one was true false the most common cause

of hyperthyroid disease is

uh

62 percent say true

uh

let’s see 62 say true and 38 say false

okay

so

so

it’s false the the majority of thyroid

problems are really related to

not an iodine deficiency even though the

mix

a good portion of the population is

iodine deficient because they’re not

consuming enough

food that comes from the sea and the

iodine in the soils

especially if you get off the coast of

some

[Music]

ocean is going to be deficient

that being said that like 90 of all

hypothyroid situation is uh hashimoto’s

and that is autoimmune it’s not an

iodine deficiency so this is why

when people are diagnosed and they start

taking iodine they don’t really see the

big changes

this is also why people go and get

diagnosed and

then they get uncentroid and they

they don’t really actually feel better

and

you just want to ask the doctor like

what’s causing my thyroid problem

is it

what’s causing my lack of production and

see what they say you’re going to find

they don’t know

and then the problems

if you take a hormone over a period of

time it tends to cause the thyroid to be

dependent on that hormone

and um

it’s just it’s about managing a low

thyroid it’s not about

correcting it

so is there going to be a point you come

off of it

probably not so i’m going to release a

video today on

more of a deep dive on what people can

do because the majority of thyroid

problems are

not actually a thyroid problem thyroid

is just the symptom

interesting okay well listen let’s go

over to social media and find out who’s

listening as usual a good morning to all

our viewers today watching from the uk

canada romania chile south africa

australia russia bahrain poland

singapore greenland trinidad and tobago

zambia germany dubai italy pakistan

cyprus kuwait scotland the netherlands

uh oh hang on it just slipped away from

me the netherlands uh

algeria norway spain sweden and a moment

of silence for japan i know they’re

suffering there serbia saudi arabia

thailand ethiopia malaysia denmark

bulgaria turkey the bahamas guatemala

cameroon oman belgium ghana lebanon

israel

miraitis did i say that right terry

egypt the philippines uganda uganda

excuse me switzerland

new zealand and all across these united

states and usually we have a couple that

flick in after this so if i see someone

else sounding off from their beautiful

country they will mention you as well

now uh the reason we uh list all that is

because it demonstrates how many people

are waiting to get their questions

answered so let’s go right to social

media ollie from youtube any advice for

someone with fibrous

lung condition

well

it sounds a bit like a copd so

there’s a

a couple great things to do because you

get fibrous tissue from having

inflammation

and so of course you know

the obvious thing is to

if you live in a polluted area move to

you know where there’s fresh air that’s

one thing but the other thing is like

but tocatrinos are really important in

preventing inflammation it’s one of the

most powerful antioxidants 50 times

stronger than tocopherols so they’re

called tocatrinals you take them for the

lung and that would be something i would

recommend as well as vitamin c like a

real vitamin c not a synthetic version

uh and then there’s one other product

you could search on standard process

is a

company that i recommend certain

products that they they sell and you

have to look this up but the product

that you want to find would be called

pneumotrophin pmg and you take three of

those to the day

and that will help keep your lungs

stable and strong so that’s what i would

do with for fibrous scar tissue of the

lung

very good and as we promised a few

stragglers are scotland the netherlands

india greece australia liechtenstein

and france so welcome all of you folks

as well and let’s get back to some of

your questions this time let’s go to

tracy from facebook i have small iodine

deficiency but sometimes i can have too

much when it’s measured what’s going on

well it could be you know they’re

they’re measuring iodine in the blood

but what about um

that’s only one place in the body that

you have it the same thing with like

potassium or magnesium

blood is not the best place to evaluate

these mineral reserve

issues even like the majority of the

iodine is stored in your thyroid

so you do a blood test and you may or

may not show up but you could do a skin

test that would be better you take

a cotton swab of some iodine from the

drugstore two percent

rub it on the inside of your arm or

thigh

and cover it up with a little

band-aid thing and then

within 24 hours if you notice um it’s

gone like that coloring or it’s really

lightened

chances are

uh you’re

you’re deficient because your body is

absorbing it if it’s the same color

chances that you have enough iodine that

would be a good test

very good okay bianca from youtube boy

this is uh thyroid day or iodine day can

you please share any information advice

about hashimoto’s and thyroiditis

i hope you haven’t already covered that

but there you go

one of the

best things you can do for an

inflammatory autoimmune

case especially hashimoto’s is to take

higher amounts of vitamin d

if you can

like 40 000 i use every single day

because that’s gonna at least at the

very minimum drop your inflammation so

you feel

great and it’ll help the thyroid because

that is really the the damage of having

an autoimmune it’s the inflammation

right the other thing that you want to

do is you want to take selenium and zinc

and then of course the big thing is

avoid gluten because

gluten can really mess up

if not cause

hashimoto’s that’s one of the triggers

there’s two other things too that people

get

develop

hashimoto’s it could be

a stress event which paralyzes the

immune system or it could be a time you

had this spike of estrogen that can

trigger it

so i i will be doing a deep dive very

soon on this topic i just did the video

today and i will release it next week so

you’ll get more information on that

wonderful next true false sir doc

all right true false the liver

is responsible for eighty percent

of the active form of the thyroid

hormone

t3

all right very good i must say my family

all my kids might be lying but we take

dr berg’s uh

d3k2 if i said that right each day and

it’s wonderful um but you know kids you

know how they are did you take your

vitamins yes

shouldn’t call them kids or well in

their 20s anyway

nuno from youtube i have to eat more fat

than usual because of my autoimmune

issues but i can’t eat avocado fats and

other vegetable fats is there any way to

replace meat fat without making my

condition worse

good question

so you don’t want to do

you don’t want to do animal fat but you

can’t do

uh other fat what about olive oil can

you do olive oil

maybe you can do some of that you’re

going to find out what what oil you can

do

you could also do mct oil that’s one but

that’s only going to give you the

oil

for

for energy a really important oil to do

if you can do it would be

the cod liver oil

hopefully you can do that because that

would supply

your omega-3 fatty acids which is just

crucial

the type of fat that i’m doing recently

which i really like

is actually

raw cream

from a cow

so i found a farm local that

i get it from and i’ll get a whole court

and i’ll basically down the whole thing

in a week and now i’m getting two cards

because my wife is trying sneaking some

too so um

i i mixed it with some a little bit of

blueberries

and but the cream in the coffee

cream is a

you can cook with it you can

put it on your steak when you fry your

steak it’s just cream is just darn right

good and then when you have the raw

cream

it has something called the wilson

factor which is an anti-stiffness factor

there’s all these amazing things in

cream

and

it’s a very pleasurable

food

um to say the least

exciting patsy from facebook i have high

levels of billy rubin is there something

i can do diet wise to address this

yeah you need to um

do two things one is probably a good

gallbladder formula bile salts will help

but then you want to take some milk

thistle for your liver and while you’re

doing that

of course get on healthy keto because

ultimately the liver needs some support

all right let’s uh go to the rapid

audience has already mastered

answering the question and the question

was true false the liver is responsible

for 80 percent of the active form of the

thyroid hormone t3

and the audience claims

let’s see 70 percent say it’s true and

30 percent resisted and say it’s false

it’s actually true eighty percent

of the conversion from t4 to three is

through the liver and twenty percent is

in the kidney

so let’s say for example

you looked at you’re standing up and you

look down at your feet and you can’t see

your feet because your belly is sticking

out

that means you have a fatty liver so

guess what’s going to happen to the

thyroid it’s not going to be able to

convert as well

so

then you potentially could start getting

cold feet

hair loss

fatigue

loss of eyebrows in the outer part right

here thinning of the hair like all sorts

of uh symptoms

but in reality

you just need to fix the liver with

healthy keto don’t worry about the

thyroid fix the root cause

all right that’s terrific now colleen

look alive from the uk because we’re

going to bring you on for your

quick question with dr berg you are live

with dr berg welcome colleen

hi how are you dr berg

great thanks

my question is i’ve been ketogenic for

two and a half years

um and i’m 52 and i am just starting

what i believe to be perimenopause

um i lost

nearly 50 pounds in six months um body

shape changed massively and i’ve noticed

the last six months

without changing my diet that my body

shape is

thickening around the midriff area if

you like um and i’m wondering what i can

do

to get that changed again

got it well um well good thing you live

in a place where they don’t have a lot

of fish fish and chips and sugar so

that’s good

that’s the positive point um

but the question is

do you um how many meals per day do you

consume

probably two

i tend not to eat breakfast

um i don’t feel i need it so i usually

have a lunch and an evening meal

okay

when you have a lunch are you hungry for

that lunch

um it gets to about two o’clock in the

afternoon i can get that far but i do

i’m not the person that eats for the

sake of eating

okay good

well i think what i would do if i were

you is if you want to target the

midsection if it’s just too thick

um

you want to

really start squishing down that

second and third uh the second

the first and the second meal so you

start getting them closer and closer and

closer

till you can get to one meal a day

because especially

if you’re over the age of 45

um

you know it becomes harder and harder

with your metabolism so we want to

try to overcome that by just doing one

meal a day now

if you could also do

periodically

a longer fast that would speed things up

tremendously the other thing you want to

do is really evaluate your calories to

make sure that your um

you have almost

almost zero carbs now that would

that data is in a video that i did

called keto on steroids updated you can

search that out and then you can follow

that so we drop the carbs down we go

along with the fasting

and then we just add a really good

workout maybe once every

two or three days like to the point

where you’re really working your body

and then you just focus on your sleep

and stress and i think that’ll that’ll

help you the most

okay thank you

that’s great well thanks for

representing the uk so brilliantly i

love your accent i’m sure everyone else

probably does too

uh so that is great we check that off

the list now

why don’t we uh knock up the next

question i think uh

and here it is doc a true falseer

okay true false hemorrhoids are a liver

problem

okay hemorrhoids are a liver problem i

thought it came from the other end but

anyway we will i’m sure you’ll explain

okay let’s see uh pat from facebook is

there something you’d recommend to

address vertigo

um

vertigo um

it really depends on

some other problems you have for example

if you stand up and you get vertigo

like really bad that’s called pots

where your adrenals are really weak so

you if that’s the situation you need

a lot of vitamin b1 and probably

benfotamine which is a fat soluble b

vitamin and lots of that

but if you’re doing a b vitamin try to

find something natural

or a nutritional yeast that’s

unfortified

so that helps the autonomic nervous

system to adapt so you can adapt to

stress but let’s say for example that’s

not it

let’s say it’s more of a

um it happened after you got a sinus

infection

um

that is like mucus in the inner ear can

cause that

also you could have um a buildup of

calcium in the inner ear

in which case

you need to take more vitamin k2 so

it’s just a matter of trying to find out

what is what but in the videos that i do

on this i i give you a lot of different

possibilities of what it could be so you

can start ruling these things out and

that’s one of the things that i i like

doing is

thinking outside the box so i give you

different options that you may have

never heard before

to try to see if you could

fix these problems because

unfortunately some of them are real

subtle and some of them are subclinical

deficiencies and

and it’s not always very easy to

diagnose with a simple blood test or

whatever

very good well i’m proud of myself

because i picked a question out of the

flow of questions uh sidestepping terry

and this is from youtube alicia

uh wants to know she’s on keto and likes

that but is it okay for people with low

weight in fact she’d like to try to gain

some

that is that is a great great uh

goal is to get on keto just for any

reason not i mean just for your overall

health because

it’s not just about weight loss the

benefits of intermittent fasting the

benefits of low carb

are huge

huge for your liver

now how to maintain the weight

that’s going to be a little difficult

but you’re going to have to increase

your calories

eat more

and make sure your fat is

at a certain level because

you can’t go low-fat with this because

what’s that what we want to do is we

want to have enough dietary fat for your

body to turn into ketones so it doesn’t

turn your own body fat into ketones

which then

you’re going to be leaner

so

um

this is about adding fat at the end of

the meal

whether it’s a macadamia nuts or or

pecans

or

some type of dessert with the raw cream

of course um

or some type of fat mct oil

that’s that’s what you’re gonna have to

do and then in addition to that um

i would really work on strength uh

work on your muscles so do a workout

that involves lower reps

and um more volume of workouts so you

can start to

develop more muscle and um

so as you do keto you actually can

actually increase your muscle

strength and size to a certain degree

boy one person’s hell is another

person’s heaven i wish that’s what i

struggled with

but i’m able to keep the fat on as

necessary anyway let’s go to a question

about kids

elizabeth from youtube is it okay for an

11 year old to start intermittent

fasting i’m assuming they’re probably

overweight

i always can get in trouble when i start

talking about this but i will say that

the best thing for kids in general is

just to not do the snacking all day long

um

so that would be like three meals a day

but if they have a weight problem you

know start maybe two meals a day just

make sure the calories are sufficient so

um go up with the calories

and just split it up between two meals

um

that would be really good the key thing

is making sure you get your nutrients so

this is why i recommend also taking

supplements at least at the very minimum

electrolytes and the b vitamins um

which you can get electrolytes now with

with trace minerals so you have to worry

about that but the point is that

you need certain nutrition from the food

so you got to either get it from the

food or at it it’s really hard to

determine

if your food has

nutrition in it however

i have gotten all sorts of

really cool test testing devices that

i’m able to now test things so i’m doing

a whole deep dive on

trying to find some food that actually

is nutrient

dense and there’s some great tests out

there there’s a

there’s a very inexpensive test that you

can get to determine that i will do a

video on that

along with my new channel that i’m

working on which is taking a long time

because there’s a lot to know

and

it’s not about growing you know foods

growing your own food but nutrient dense

like strategies to

to grow food that is really high in

nutrition which is a whole new concept

very good well once again the audience

has spoken you ask true false

hemorrhoids are a liver problem

and 55 percent of our audience said that

that’s false 45 say absolutely it’s true

do we have any winners

it’s true it is true when the liver

is damaged okay

we get a problem buffering

estrogen

and estrogen has receptors in the in the

veins

so you get things like

hemorrhoids you get things like

varicosities like varicose veins spider

veins and you might get

a vein problem that occurs in your

esophagus or your stomach

so

it’s when the liver goes downhill um all

sorts of problems occur with the veins

um

i’m going to do a video with a really

good remedy for that that has been

there’s a clinical trial

um

double-blinded placebo-controlled

clinical trial on a significant number

of people

so you can

wait for that video and check it out

it’s going to be a really good one

okay very good let’s go back to our

green room and ma lin from queens new

york marlin if you are answering unmute

yourself and you’re gonna get to talk to

dr berg there you go

go ahead with your question marlin

hi

how are you yeah um my question is uh

about my weight

because uh uh i started my keto diet

since october 21 and i

before i 100 150 but i’m dieting it so

i lost so much weight uh i’m 125

and then now when i started keto

i’m losing weight and now i’m already

100 and i was worried about it

so now

so before when we talked a long time ago

you’re you’re really complaining because

you want to lose weight now you’re

losing too much weight you want to

maintain your weight is that what you’re

trying to ask me

and i’m being really sorry yes

um

yeah that is the problem with this darn

keto sometimes you lose too much weight

it’s uh can we give some of that problem

over to some other people um like steve

absolutely yeah so this is what you have

to do um you’re going to have to bring

your carbs up to 50 grams

50 grams per day

don’t go over that

and so that means that you’ll be

consuming on a regular basis maybe some

berries

uh things like that

um but the other thing is that um

probably two meals maybe uh one in the

morning one in the evening have them

spread out a bit more and then start

increasing the volume of calories eat

more food

i i have to

keep my

calories at least 27

100 per day

sometimes 3 000 and it’s really hard

it’s a pain in the butt i hate doing it

but

i have to do that or i tend to get too

thin but i know people don’t want to

hear that but

the point is that

you can easily just increase more food

and create make sure your carbs a little

bit more so that’s what i would

recommend

and there’s always always a problem with

people

their digestion can their digestion

handle it

well

that’s adds another

dimension sometimes you’re going to have

to add hydrochlor uh betaine how to

chloride you have to add gallbladder

formula you have to add some enzymes

probiotics to help you

digest all this food because sometimes

the digestive system is luggage so

you know you got people that want to

gain weight but then they have another

barrier they can’t digest that much food

and so

you know there’s always something you

can do to improve it so we just have to

get creative

well that’s great well we this is the

best green room participants we’ve had

succinct questions it’s great and

they’ve allowed us to get more social

media stuff and make sure all of them go

on so let’s go back to facebook susanna

what do you recommend for nocturnal

muscle aches i am struggling to get

decent sleep because of this pain

well the first thing i would do is i

would start taking vitamin d before bed

that should work if it doesn’t work

then you need to take

vitamin e a really good e complex

because that that’s really good for all

type of muscle

aches and different weaknesses now

[Music]

you know it always gets back down to the

basics are you

are you on healthy keto are you doing

intermittent fasting if not do that

because

let’s say for example

you take these two remedies and you

still don’t feel better it could be you

just have too much inflammation in your

body because your carbs are too high

um i know also a deficiency in omega-3

fatty acids will also cause that same

symptom

so that’s what i would start with

very good okay back to youtube teresa

from youtube i have really bad fatigue

i’m 49 years old and people much older

have more energy than me that’s enough

to make you mad what should i do

well i’ve done a video on that quite a

few um

you know the first thing you have to do

is handle your sleep if you’re sleeping

okay

and then then there’s some other issues

maybe your diet you’re doing too many

carbs if your diet is okay

then potentially you could have

chronic fatigue syndrome which is coming

from epstein-barr virus in which case

i did a whole video on that of what

remedy to take so

you can be

tired from so many different things

cirrhosis of the liver hashimoto’s a

virus not sleeping stress

i mean the list goes on and on and on so

um i would i need more

data to evaluate that but in the

meantime i have videos that you can just

watch that relate that will help you

very good okay and we’ve had a lot of

questions today about uh

acid reflux and so on and this one is

anna from youtube why does my coffee

give me acid reflex it’s to the point

that my throat gets very irritated help

well um the first thing is it really is

a coffee is an acid

it has that tannic acid it has other

acids

but more than likely it’s the type of

coffee that you’re

you’re consuming are you doing organic

or is it just commercial there are so

many chemicals in coffee unless you’re

doing

an organic version um

so that’s what i would suggest and then

you could just be sensitive to the

acidity or the different the nutrient or

the phytonutrients in coffee in which

case

you may do better from using tea

very good or just eating up your coffee

and doing a coffee substitute which uh

there’s quite a few different ones that

that mimic the

flavor of coffee well i think i’d

shrivel up and die without my cup of

coffee but

anyway kathy steve how big is your cup

of coffee uh do i have to say no it’s a

it’s i have a couple of them a day and

they’re pretty jumbo but i brew cold

brew coffee and i have one that’s decaf

and one that’s regular and so i really

keep the regular down so i can enjoy

more is come to think of it is

decaffeinated still bad for you or is

that a good idea

i would highly recommend getting an

organic decaf

all right

but i’ll tell you you know my your

coffee is getting bigger my coffee is

getting smaller like uh not only will i

have a a small

cup

but now i’m just doing a half of that

i will admit it’s strong but

i apparently i don’t need as much coffee

to satisfy me anymore so i’m like okay

good so like i can do too much and i’m

like you know but i don’t feel quite

right so i’m trying to get to the point

where

i’m eating and drinking things only for

health not just for pleasure

but it’s taken me 57 years good grief

well it is pleasurable and i what i

gauge when i start getting tremors

sometimes during the day that i think

it’s time for another cop i don’t know

why i do that crazy i always feel better

you know sometimes i’ll forget to drink

or i’m in a position to drink coffee and

it’ll be four o’clock in the afternoon

and i’ll think wow i really feel good

and i

you know and i didn’t have coffee so i

you know it it rings some sort of bell

but you know after a while there’s some

effects that really aren’t pleasant

you know you just got to reward yourself

reward your body with all these little

things and then you’ll be fine very good

okay kathy from facebook what do you

recommend to stop the formation of

calcium deposits they form on my fingers

or i guess in their fingers and knees

yeah you need vitamin k2

like that’s what you need and guess

where you get vitamin k2 in fatty foods

in

pate

liver

um

butter

um

fat fatty foods that’s

fatty dairy so um but i would just start

taking it as a supplement immediately

and that will actually help you greatly

very good okay there’s a lot of folks

suffering from this and joel’s among

them from facebook is there anything you

can do to address crohn’s disease

well the first thing is like you i’m

assuming you’re off the grains because

that will just tear up your gut also

when you go to the grocery store

don’t buy the uh the dressings

start reading labels that avoid uh the

seed oils like the soy the corn oil or

canola oil just avoid all that crap and

then the other thing is you might want

to try carnivore for a couple months and

that

uh will reduce the inflammation your gut

because the fiber can tear up

your your gut if you have inflammation

if you don’t have inflammation

you want to do the vegetable fiber but

i tell you with all these new keto

things coming in the market there’s

these functional fibers that are

literally irritating

a lot of people’s gut without them

really

understanding this link

so

the microbes eat fiber so if you’re

if you’re doing the wrong synthetic type

of fibers it can really mess up your gut

ouch monika from youtube

this is weird when i am fasting my left

arm starts hurting when i reach the 11th

hour of the fast what’s going on

there well i think what’s happening is

you’re not um

using your uh

your gallbladder is a bit sluggish okay

and

that needs to be adjusted which it will

over time so you need to massage

the left underneath the left ribcage and

the right side because there could be

some sludge

that’s building up in the bile ducts

which is causing the pancreas to kind of

get congested and that can refer pain

where you have it so a good remedy

for that would be something called tutka

which is

great for any type of

bile sludge

type problems

very good all right audience rev your

engine because here’s our next question

discomfort in the right upper part of

the abdomen is usually caused by what

audience climb on that

and let’s see oh christy from facebook i

have lost almost half of my hair

from having covered

what should be done to reverse that loss

i would start taking trace minerals and

the b

the b complex

right away

and a good amount of zinc

because

obviously the virus has um

you know

through off your your nutrient levels

very good okay uh

from facebook what is the first thing i

should be doing to address adrenal

fatigue

i would support your adrenals with a

good adaptogen ashwagandha is a good one

i’m not biased of my

adrenal cortisol support product but

it’s the best thing out there for

adrenals if you took some of that

i think you’d feel

wonderful you feel less stressed

and you can you’ll feel like you can

cope a lot better

um

now the other thing that you can do and

i did a video on this it’s called um

the stress webinar if i’m not mistaken

and i actually walk people through a

technique

an acupressure technique to to help

their stress that you’ve never seen

these techniques before and they work

incredibly

wonderful

on adrenal stress

very good sheila has neuropathy in her

hands and feet and wants to know if you

have any recommendations

absolutely the best thing to take is um

ben photamine and alpha lipoic acid

both of those

uh are great for peripheral neuropathy

all right lauren let’s see here

we did that one i don’t want to go back

to the green room

and go to uh the lovely katie who’s in

michigan

and i’m going to unmute her and she’s

going to do the same and katie you’re on

for your uh one question for dr byrd

hello thank you for having me

um so my husband and i the more we watch

your videos the more we’re realizing

that um keto and iaf can

pretty much address all of our health

complaints

but i’m pregnant and will soon be

nursing and he is type 1 diabetic so i’m

wondering if we need to make any

special accommodations or adjustments

for those

you know i’m so glad you brought that up

because i’m so glad that you started

keto before you got pregnant because

that’s you’re creating um

an environment for that baby to thrive

and and optimize their

growth and development the most

important time of

um

of

a really healthy diet would be when

you’re pregnant or a little bit before

which you’ve done so so now it’s all

about um

nutrient-dense foods

not too much about fasting but just make

sure your foods are high quality make

sure you take the vitamin d and the dha

the zinc

the iodine from the trace minerals and

then that way when you’re when you

deliver it’ll your delivery will be

smoother

your child will have good dental

structure because they have enough

vitamin d

you won’t have to buy braces they won’t

get scoliosis or have flat feet or

or bowed legs so they’ll have good uh

mandible and

good uh

they’ll be able to keep their wisdom

teeth um

so there’s a lot of good things and

you’ll notice better uh

cognitive function

coordination

so

and then hopefully you can uh breastfeed

for a good amount of time too

um but yeah so that’s the main thing um

right now is just get those nutrients in

and your your baby’s gonna do great so

definitely don’t do the um

the formulas because it’s all that soy

is just it’s just so

such an unknown for these small infants

to give that much um

you know

estrogenic effect to a small child

so i think um

i think this is going to be great um we

had um three kids we had midwives that’s

the way we did it and of course on the

third child

the midwife never showed up

so

[Music]

surprised i was glad to help doctor

i was glad to help

um

so

anyway that’s what i would recommend but

um i i just uh i’d like to get the word

out more on the importance of that diet

for these mothers especially

because you could avoid so many

long-term problems just by

what you’re doing right

that is so great

i can tell you she’s doing a lot she’s a

super mom she was folding clothes

tending to her kids and

getting ready to talk to dr berg so you

are definitely a superwoman and i think

that’s terrific and thanks so much for

joining us and congratulations on your

next baby

so let’s see here why don’t we go back

to

social media

oh well dave from youtube dr berg you

are amazing you have saved me with your

life-saving advance advice thanks so

much so by the way once again we get a

lot of that and we’re you know try to

stick with the questions but you know dr

berg is very grateful

uh for all your great uh you know

council and so on why don’t we go to the

next

question

okay and here it is

okay

discomfort in the right upper quadrant

of the abdomen is usually caused by

what

okay

i’m not sure if i screwed up the uh

did we answer the last question

no we cover the last we answered last

question steve uh you know i don’t think

we did and i apologize but i’ve got

answers for it that wasn’t terry’s screw

it was mine

and let’s see i’ve already discarded

that one i think um

or maybe that’s the one we already asked

anyway

quiz number four answers 40 say liver

issues 40 percent say gallbladder issues

10 percent say pancreas issues and 10

percent say bile issues

well everyone’s right because on that

area of the body you have the liver and

you have the gallbladder and you have

the connections the tubes which are

called ducts they’re like the common

bile duct so um

that would be related

usually it’s going to be a problem with

pressure

in

either the liver or the gallbladder

because those ducts are have sludge in

them and i’m not making up

this term it’s it’s a medical situation

you have sludge

bile sludge in these tubes that that

don’t drain properly there’s entire

support groups

that have these problems and they’re

coping with them and they don’t know

this one

secret

that i’m going to reveal

next month

in our follow-up i’m just sarcastic i’m

just kidding i’ll tell you right now

it’s called tutka and tutka

is a type of bile salt that

i mean it can work so fast for these

people it just thins the bile it allows

it to flow the person starts feeling

better all that discomfort the nausea

the pressure that refers up to the right

side into their jaw or their head or

their shoulder

goes away and you would take between 750

to 1500 milligrams in a day that would

take them on an empty stomach so it’s

kind of like take two tablets

in the morning empty stomach and then

take one in the afternoon that would

give you 1500 milligrams but you’ll

notice that

your liver will finally be happy your

gallbladder will be happy

but now if you need more bile salts i

would recommend

a good

actual just regular uh gallbladder

support with bile support in it with

some other things and of course i’m not

biased of my own gallbladder formula but

i am biased but

but to to thin the vial you need to tuck

cut that’s a different situation

very good alexandria from facebook a

young friend of mine has been diagnosed

with rheumatoid arthritis what advice

would you share

um i’ve done a lot of videos on that i

think the best thing is that vitamin d

it’s an autoimmune condition so vitamin

d in higher amounts like

like 50 40 to 50 000 ius every single

day now you might say well isn’t that

dangerous

not necessarily for that condition

because usually people are so deficient

and they usually have a problem with

absorption and there’s like a

there’s a handful of things

that uh prevent the absorption so

like age the color of your skin if it’s

darker you’re not going to absorb it as

much where you live on the planet how

much sun exposure the genetics if you

have a what’s called a polymorphous

polymorphism which is like you can’t

absorb it because the receptor is

blocked so

um

take higher amounts of vitamin d and

then just drink

2.5 liters

of water a day as your fluid

to prevent any possible not that this

would ever happen but if you’re

concerned about kidney stones which is

the is the problem with hypercalcemia

because that would be one of the side

effects of taking

large amounts of vitamin d but we’re

really talking about hundreds of

thousands of units for months not 50 000

ius

anytime someone says that vitamin d is

toxic

just ask them where the the research is

and see if you can get any answers and

then read it you’re not gonna find

anything with fifty thousand but um so

anyway you want that and then um

of course you want to work on your gut

because it’s an immune problem

so and if you drink the water you can

prevent any potential kidney stone

issues just says precautionary measure

okay i think we’ve heard this sort of

thing before sarah from facebook can you

be skinny and still have a fatty liver

yes it’s called skinny fat absolutely

positively it’s not always showing up

from the outside a lot of people

have a fatty liver and they don’t you

can’t see it from the outside

so

the best thing to do for that would be

to do an ultrasound to diagnose it but i

will say

that

you can pretty much determine if someone

has a fatty liver just by

their diet

are they on a high carb high sugar diet

and then um a really good remedy that uh

i released a video today

is choline

if you even are deficient in choline you

you’ll develop a fatty liver so choline

is

is a key

nutrient

to help mobilize fat and cholesterol out

of the liver and so if you do have a

fatty liver choline should be on your

protocol

choline is actually in

in bile so it’s kind of acts like bile

salt so

um but it’s it’s really uh beneficial

as well as

the ketogenic plan

um there’s one study i did a video on

this that showed that you can remove 50

of the liver from your lip in two weeks

from being on a healthy ketogenic plan

i mean that’s like unheard of

that’s encouraging all right here’s our

final question for the day we got to

them all

okay the primary cause

of abdominal

pain

stem stems from doing blank

too often

right audience i know it won’t take you

long to climb on that let’s go uh to

back to the green room and renat from

california has been waiting patiently

and uh or not you are on if i said your

name right with dr byrd

hello can you hear me there perfect

okay thank you

thank you little bit i listen and i see

all your video for the last two and a

half years and i suggested to other

people because it’s helped me and i lost

about 20 pounds

i

recently i have a

pain in my stomach and

very attic even though i take your um

how you call it i take something uh

regarding hydration

and uh i

i’m not sleeping good i wake up like at

one o’clock three o’clock

and the headaches and i am and i’m tired

too so i don’t know um

what changed

so you said you’re taking something

what was that do you think you told me

like

i taken your electrolytes which is very

good

yeah

okay so this i think this relates to

something going on in your digestive

system because

um headaches usually the problem is not

in your head

unless you had a physical traumatic head

it’s referred from the gallbladder or

the bile ducts so that tudka would be

very very very beneficial and then

betaine hydrochloride for the stomach

which will help your digestion

and your ability to assimilate minerals

and your ability to release bile

and if your

digestion is good

you’ll be able to sleep a lot better i

mean try to sleep with a headache

it’s a little bit difficult

so those are some things you would work

on

and um

you know i added a wall i had the word

tatka but i didn’t know the other word

you’re saying

yeah the tudka

and she’s asking about another thing

what’s that steve she said uh tutka and

she didn’t understand the second word

that you said her second uh thing for

her to get

okay

um

betaine hydrochloride betaine

hydrochloride it’s something for your

stomach um

it’s like it’s it’s gonna help you

release your own bile but if the stomach

doesn’t have enough acid

then yeah

yeah then that can that can create a lot

of undigested

stuff from the next level in the small

intestine and all that pressure could go

right up and cause a headache so i think

given what you told me we want to

increase

digestion first so we take about five of

the betaine hydrochloride before you eat

a meal maybe more

but start off small and gradually work

up and that

the more

ability to digest the better your head

is going to feel so try that

well that’s great well thank you so much

all right thank you welcome thank you so

much or not from california yeah patine

betaine hydrochloride

well the audience does not disappoint uh

once again

uh they’re uh snappy with their answers

the primary cause of abdominal pain

stems from doing blank too often

and let’s see what the audience said uh

hang on just a moment oh no i lost that

first thing here it is

80 say eating carbs 10 say too much

gluten and 10 say snacking

the answer is

snacking and eating eating too

frequently

that is the number one cause of

abdominal pain why

because our bodies are not meant to

graze or continually eat a cow has four

stomachs

you know i have about 10 or 11 cows

right now and i watch them

and they basically they graze

but they don’t graze all day they

actually spend

quite a bit of time

sitting down

chewing their food as it gets

regurgitated chewing it

so um

even even a cow will do that but the

point is that

we eat too frequent our bodies are not

designed to have that food

stuck in this plumbing for that

that constant chronic food digestion so

once you stop eating and you have two

meals a day or one meal a day

wow you finally give your system a

chance to take a break

and um

like i haven’t eaten anything yet since

yesterday and i let my whole system

clean out

and rest so then i can eat the meal and

oh my gosh in the past

i i had this idea that i had to

constantly

eat is just the slightest appetite and

of course that little bit of food will

cause

me to be hungry for more food and take

these snacks and

boy did i have abdominal pain and

bloating

and of course steve when you go to um

other countries that have really good

food

and then you want to try everything all

day long you end up with the most severe

abdominal pain

imagined so

or even in america you go to uh

different places where they have a lot

of good food and then you on some

vacation and and then they have the uh

this thing called i don’t know if you

ever heard of it before it’s called um

the all-you-can-eat buffets right

i’m saying nothing go there

and then they have them and then you

could just go

you know okay was it is it time to eat

yet oh it’s 4 30 yes it’s go go time to

eat oh we have the midday snacks i mean

it’s just it’s just crazy

what about a cruise ship do they ever

have snacks on a cruise ship oh my gosh

i sure do well speaking of uh people

overseas food and cruise ships and so on

why don’t we discuss how your products

are available more conveniently on an

international basis

yeah wherever you are if you’re in the

middle east uh russia europe uh finally

now we have our products over there

we’re working um

hard to expand that a little bit more uh

to get into india too but the thing is

that um that way you can not have to pay

all that expensive shipping which is

really a pain in the butt so

anyway

that’s we should have some links down

below

okay we have one person left languishing

in the green room but i don’t see his

picture brian are you with us

yes can you hear me i can’t i don’t see

your camera can you cut that on for us

no no no i don’t know what happened

that’s all right

you can go ahead with your question

without the camera you’re on with dr

byrd

floyd hi dr berg good morning

good morning yes uh the i

was diagnosed as gasteritis four years

ago

i am 64 years old and then doctor said

he was looking for the h pylori

because that would tend to go become the

stomach cancer in the future so last

four years i had a stomach endoscopy

every once in the years and what the

doctors advised me to do was one thing

he said eat whatever you like except for

the spicy foods and the caffeine but he

said he asked me to take the two

different type of the anti-acid before

breakfast and another one for the before

dinner every single day

for the rest of my life i think that

kind of changed my my stomach

environment

not only that two years ago i was

diagnosed as the osteoporosis pinanium

not osteoporosis and also i understand

that taking anti-acid for a long time

could potentially have a dementia or a

cycle or something like this in the

future so my goal is try to reduce or

not taking anti-acid but try to heal in

my stomach

like a holistic natural way and you know

i understand in eating natural

vegetables certain keto ketogenic diet

and also intermediate uh

frosting all this natural thing i’ve

learned from your website uh you youtube

you know if that don’t count if that’s

gonna heal the cancer i just saw yeah

one of the adrenaline from the fronts

you know that’s going to cure the cancer

why not

heal the gasteritis any opinion on this

yes

so

ultimately

the h pylori

gets it’s it’s in a lot of people that

don’t have any symptoms it’s like kind

of a natural microbe but then when the

ph of your stomach becomes too alkaline

then it kind of comes out and it’s it

creates more of a pathogenic effect and

creates inflammation and even an ulcer

so

the solution is to take betaine

hydrochloride which is an acid

about five of those before a meal the

problem is

if you have gastritis that might

irritate your stomach so you can’t

always do that you might want to try

and if you if it doesn’t work then you

have to heal the stomach first

with a good

chlorophyll or maybe a good natural

wheatgrass juice powder

to

have the chlorophyll to help the

inflammation as well as zinc

carnosine which is good for gastritis

i’ve done videos on gastritis it’s a

little bit different

but

taking going on an antacid kind of goes

in the opposite direction

because now

you

can’t um digest protein like you could

so there goes the bones there goes the

muscle there goes your assimilation of

minerals there goes an increase in risk

for getting infection in pathogens so

unfortunately whoever told you that

didn’t really understand the

hydrochloric acid and the ph that should

be between one and three which is

extremely acidic so

i’m telling these antacids

have some serious long-term effects

that they they don’t tell you about

including gallstones and

sibo which is small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth like there are so many issues

so

ultimately you want to get more acid in

the stomach

but you might not be able to first so

you might heal the stomach i have a lot

of videos on gastritis and then you can

also um it seems that most people

with what you have do okay with

cabbage

somehow they can do cabbage

that seems to not irritate the stomach

and they can feel good on that so

you can do different forms of cabbage

like coleslaw or possibly even some

kimchi or

or a sauerkraut but

um

do those things and i think uh you’ll be

put on the right track

on that note steve

it looks like we ran out of time i just

want to say thank you for all your

wonderful questions and i’m sorry i

didn’t get to everyone’s question

but i’m going to try to

cram in some of these some additional

videos to answer some of the other

questions next week stay tuned for some

some additional uh interesting even more

interesting than last week steve

and i will see all of you next week same

time same place

[Music]

you
