this is the dr. Berg show live from the

nation’s capital it’s time to get

healthy lose weight and feel great

call now to speak with dr. Berg at eight

six six five six one four two nine two

and now dr. Eric birth hi guys I’m back

and we are going to do some Q&A today we

have Karen over here that’s going to

help us answer some questions because of

the massive amount of questions on

social media hi Karen

hi and so just make sure your questions

are questions that are simple for me to

ask and that are easy for me to answer

and actually simple for me to grasp the

concepts some of these questions are so

complex so I’m just gonna dive right in

here the first question is from her name

is Bushra from Michigan go ahead you’re

on the air you had a question about in a

minute fasting and keto my diet and

within a day I felt a big difference in

my energy my energy has really gone up

and I’m trying to do the–do and in a

minute fasting I’m doing either one to

two meals a day which I would like to

lose some of the belly fat but I also

have fibroids with they’re very painful

and I know that I’m supposed to eat for

fibroids but but I I don’t know what you

well it sounds like you’re doing a great

job so far so let’s just kind of answer

that question so you’re doing something

that’s finally getting getting you

energy and you’re successful and that’s

awesome and that’s gonna eventually help

you with a lot of things because the

high sugar the high insulin does

increase the growth of fibroids so if

you can’t do the great cruciferous

vegetables because it blows to you you

can do fermented vegetables but here’s

the thing I would do seek out iodine in

the sea cow

is anti estrogenic it’s really good for

fibrocystic breasts it’s good for

endometriosis it’s great for tumors in

general and fibroids which is the tumor

so go ahead and use that get a high

quality seek help and see if it can help

you all right but keep everything else

the same good question

okay Brooke you’re from Tennessee you

had a question about fasting

administration go ahead I have been

doing keto and the last couple of months

I have had trouble not having my period

I didn’t have it on time last month and

then I ended up increasing like starchy

vegetables and fruit and it came back

later but this month I was need to have

it on the first and I haven’t had it at

all and I’m just wondering should I not

be doing fasting or should I increase

those starchy vegetables and stuff to

get my period back so so the thing that

I want to really kind of understand is

that you are doing fine and then you

started him in a fasting keto and then

you you lost your period is that what

happened yeah okay here’s the thing that

I would do in this situation when you

have any side effects any side effects

at all whether it’s hair loss fatigue a

keto rash infertility a loss of I mean a

loss of a period all that means is

you’re just you need to go up with your

nutrients probably going to need more B

vitamins probably gonna need more

minerals and also some of the essential

fatty acids so I think that what you

need to focus on is enhancing your diet

with more new

means because so many women actually do

this and they actually start the cycle

becomes less intense and things like

that and so it’s better so in this

situation all you need to do is just

kind of add more the nutrients that you

might be missing I would do trace

minerals I would do fat soluble vitamins

I would do the B vitamins especially and

try that I think that will actually help

you more than anything else because

you’re basically just getting your

hormones back in alignment and you’re

taking this dominant hormone and you’re

dropping it okay try that and let us

know how that works all right Carol

you’re from Dallas Texas you had a

question about liquids during fasting go

ahead yes the information you provide is

so valuable and I so much appreciate it

because it has helped me tremendously I

have a question I started that keto diet

Santo area this year lost about eight

pounds way that’s currently 147 and I

started in a minute fasting in June of

this year started with two meals no

snacking down to one meal and a half

again and have haven’t lost anything

really since June I do a raw kale

vegetable shake in the morning around 6

a.m. with half a teaspoon of MCT oil

collagen powder and colostrum and then I

have my first meal around 11:30 a.m. and

it’s a huge salad with the fish no more

than 6 ounces a couple of eggs cheese

even I commit my own vegetables and then

I have like two ounces of people that I

make at home very nutritional and then I

have a side of raw vegetables that I mix

in my side of mixer and then at

five-thirty p.m. I have just a handful

of nuts and of course I soak them and

dehydrate them walnuts pecans

even I commit my own vegetables and then

I have like two ounces of people that I

make at home well it sounds like you’re

doing great and then you have oh and

doctor and dr. burr got as soon as she

would it was a lot of feedback and I

want to lose five more pounds and I do

incorporate apple cider vinegar and

lemon and I do have a half hypothyroid

my a 1/3 was six point two now it’s five

point nine it’s definitely going down my

eyebrows were going back I feel good I

use every one of your supplements except

the coast of consistent because I eat so

make up so much wild vegetable and I no

longer have any sugar cravings I may

have a cookie or two at the end of my

meal just I don’t and I could just stop

I could just stop eating the cookies

because I don’t I don’t I don’t have any

sugar craving whatsoever the question I

have a question for you girl are those

cookies filled with sugar or no no the

cookies I have is your shortbread okay

oh my like three inches but I mean just

you just kind there’s a lot of callers

I’m just going to get to this question

okay you’re doing so many things right

and it’s working and we just want to

speed it up and you’re probably maybe

add a little bit of a plateau but you

still have a little bit more to go so

what I’m gonna recommend is two things

one is because everything is working

don’t change too many things maybe not

do two cookies maybe do you like us one

cookie with one of the meals not with

each one and then what I would do is

that would start pushing that first meal

closer in to later and later in the day

just a little bit and then taking the

second meal and pushing that back an

hour and I think just that alone will

just boost you because then that way

will give us more chance for your body

to Lawrence

and really heal the insulin and give you

the unfair advantage of enjoying the

food having two meals and then really

losing the weight a lot of people end up

dropping that last meal out so you

there’s another thing you can kind of

look at doing but I think you’re doing

great Carol don’t change too many things

it’s working give it more time and I

think you’ll you’ll lose that last pound

and the reason I’m just kind of cutting

off a little faster because we just have

a million callers just waiting so and

Karen did we have any questions from any

of the Facebook people out there

Facebook YouTube social media we have a

million questions already there are so

many great ones but here’s a simple one

what are your thoughts on stevia okay so

number one stevia is probably the best

sweetener out there because it does not

affect blood sugars at all it’s an herb

and there’s some false information out

there that says that oh yeah stevia is

going to cause this and that it’s not

true but here’s the catch 22 when you

actually buy stevia look on the back of

the label and make sure they don’t add

multiple decks Trent there is one thing

that I haven’t recommended on one of the

shows and I can’t remember the brand but

it had hidden multi-gesture and someone

brought it to my attention so just read

the label if it just has regular stevia

in a liquid form or just the powder form

totally fine you can have as as much as

you want and it’s not going to affect

your blood sugars the problem is it kind

of gives a little aftertaste so you some

people don’t like it monk fruit is a

little bit better a little more pricey

but go ahead and keep doing stevia

that’s not a problem

hey Arlene you’re from Delaware you two

question yes how are you doctor great

thanks good I have a question about what

should my husband do he has myself I am

I’m taking a sleep aid medication I love

formula and sweet and I’m taking two now

and it just seems like it doesn’t really

cheat me

we you know keep me sleep so I was

wondering about that and I also had some

blood work but I really can’t find the

the paper to ask you a question about it

but anyway I’ll actually okay great

let’s talk about your husband first is

he in your diet

okay okay great

let me ask you about your husband is he

on the same eating plan with keto and in

a minute fasting he’s going he does the

n-terminus fasting but he’s not really

doing the keto because he likes to start

okay got it

alright so let’s just kind of cover this

and then before but I just had one more

question before I mute you and then

answer the question do you are you doing

the keto very clean yes and and and I’m

having setback - I don’t know if it’s

because of stress or what but I do deal

with the constipation sometimes I only

eat like once a day but I do not eat the

starches I eat vegetable okay great

alright so let’s talk about your husband

first really what kills testosterone is

• two hormones actually three hormones

one is estrogen and that’s in a lot of

the food supply unless he’s doing

organic so that is one alright so if he

starts doing organic that’s going to

help them greatly especially the GMO

non-gmo which would be of organic

secondly is the insulin insulin if it’s

spiked that’ll shut down testosterone so

if he does the Kido I I would bet

anything it’s gonna really improve

things for him because the Kido by

keeping the diet clean of sugars and in

a minute fasting together I mean he’s

gonna do very well make sure his

workouts are heavier weights higher

intensity full body that will also

increase testosterone sleep will

increase testosterone but I think really

what he needs to do is bite the bullet

and do the Kido within a minute fasting

and that that problem will be improved

now for you

sounds like you have some stress

and you have constipation so this leap

aid works like all great percentage of

the time but sometimes you need to pull

out the physical stress there’s a great

massage tool that I have with a little

instruction of how with videos online

you can find them but that actually

allows you to pull all the stress out of

your body and I do this

this technique every night before I go

to bed right Karen yes a massage tool

I’m like I’m using that thing everything

like Karen’s like would you massage my

back I’m like well I’m not done yet with

my own body so I have these different

techniques that you’re doing acupressure

to yourself and it does it helped me go

to sleep Karen apparently yeah within a

few minutes I’m just like he’s asleep so

I would use the massage tool and then if

you have constipation one of the things

that you might want to try is do more

kale shakes because that seems to

actually have the potassium things to

kind of loosen things up and then as

well as the electrolyte formula that

that would help things be more regulated

because potassium helps regulate the

pumping action of the colon

all right good question hey Mike you’re

from Florida you’d a question about

gallbladder attacks and gout when you

started Aikido yeah I have kind of a I

guess it’s kind of a good news/bad news

situation I started losing weight about

seven weeks ago I’m 46 years old and I

was about eighty pounds overweight lost

about 26 pounds so far and I last four

weeks of that has been keto and I’ve

been really tasteful to that so that’s

the good side of things but the problem

is about right after I started eating

healthier but before I got on to keto I

got hit with a gallbladder attack and it

was the first time that had ever

happened and went into a specialist and

they’re suggesting that I’ve got enough

stones that I really should have it

removed I haven’t done that yet and then

subsequently I’ve gotten hit with a

series of major gout attacks I’ve had it

in both feet both ankles and my left

knee I’ve kind of learned just through

some research that it could be related

and so I guess there’s two things I’m

kind of on the fence about one is

lowering uric acid either somehow

naturally or by getting on to your

allopurinol and then also trying to you

know trying to save this gall bladder or

whether that’s kind of a lost cause yeah

good question now anything that I tell

you on the show tell anyone is just for

educational or research purposes or

entertainment and so it’s not

necessarily meant to diagnose you or

tell you to do something without your

doctor’s approval so that’s my

disclaimer but here’s my opinion gall

stones develop because usually a lack of

bile be il e combined with higher

insulin combined with higher cortisol so

taking a bile salt or a gall bladder

formula would be very very beneficial to

help that I don’t know how many stones

you have I don’t know if it’s too far

gone I don’t know if it’s I don’t know

your state but just in general the fact

that you’re doing keto is great do

intermittent fasting which you might

already be doing because that’s gonna

actually help increase more bile and

help the dissolving of the stones so

that’s one thing

combined with a lot of the greens and

the vegetables which will offset allow

this cholesterol that’s coming out

through the liver as you’re losing

weight now as far as the gout goes this

is another complication of keto with if

you’re prone to it because what’s

happening and it’s not necessarily just

a lot of protein which a lot of people

think it’s God only comes from high

protein but when you’re doing the

transition from kedo from circa burning

to fat burning the uric acid levels do

go up and that could lead to gout or

uric acid kidney stones so what do you

do what I would do is get some

high-quality organic lemon juice and

with every glass of liquid put about two

ounces of lemon juice drink with the

straw started doing that a lot the other

thing that you want to do is you do want

to keep your vegetables very very very

high which will then give you the

potassium

potassium is an alkalizer potassium

helps to counter the effect of gout

especially if it’s in a potassium

citrate form my electrolyte powder has a

thousand milligrams of potassium citrate

in the form that would be really good

for you so and pluses all the other

minerals so that might be a good option

but as long as you’re doing a lot of

potassium citrate with the vegetables

and additional lemon juice I think

you’re gonna be totally fine so I would

do that and to kind of counteract some

of the things and just make sure your

protein is between three and six ounces

okay Mike good question Karen do you

have any other questions from Facebook

coming in - there’s so many great

questions I’m I’m having trouble

figuring out which one and trying to

cram 20 of them into one question for

you can you give me the one question

that summarizes like all of them I’m

trying I’m actually trying to do that

right now but there is this concept

coming through several questions what do

you think about a cheat day mm-hmm and

the concept of moderation a lot of

people fighting for their right you know

to have that whatever good question so

it’s kind of like in a marriage would

your spouse allow a cheat day I don’t

think so right Karen so that would be

really really bad so the thing with I

don’t know who came up with this idea of

like a cheat day with eating because I’m

in like it’s not on my program it’s not

in any of my books instead of a cheat

day why don’t you make some alternative

healthy pleasure foods there’s so many

recipes that we have did you go online

doctor bird comm watch these recipes and

you can make cookies you could have all

the junk foods that you like and with

good ingredients and that could be your

cheat day why do I say that because when

you go off the program you’re basically

adding sugar and carbs that’s going to

spike the insulin enough to bump you out

of that burning for 72 48 to 72 hours so

if you’re willing to not burn fat

for two to three days after your cheat

day and no ketosis then go for it but

just go into it with full awareness that

that’s going to affect your fat burning

and your ability getting ketosis now as

far as this whole thing of moderation I

mean I did that recently did a video on

sugar fructose I think and then someone

commented like I don’t I don’t agree

because I think everything in moderation

bla bla bla bla bla you know as long as

you do the moderation well when you

actually I says well what’s your

definition of moderation it’s just it

allows to open the door for a little way

too much moderation think about what a

normal blood sugar is it’s like 100 what

is that that’s like one teaspoon for all

of your your body’s blood well according

to a moderation you could do up to like

six teaspoons a day like that’s way too

much so it’s bad advice especially when

you’re trying to burn fat and fix and

heal the body when you get to the state

where your body’s in such a state of

health where you have an energy you have

a health reserve you can afford to go

off the program because now you can fall

back in the reserve but most people

don’t get into that state so that’s my

viewpoint of moderation Karen and I’m

sticking to it

good someone said it’s not a cheat day

just a cheat meal okay well try it out

and see how see if see if you can get

away with it and see how your weight

loss is affected but I’ll tell you like

a lot of people will come out to me says

I’m not losing weight I find out they’re

doing cheat date too frequently so it

really depends on your goals and how you

if you want to create your health I I

pretty much got into a state where I eat

to live which is the new concept and I

get a lot of pleasure from food but some

people need that cheat day apparently so

I’m gonna take a question from crystal

you’re from North Carolina you had a

question go ahead yes my question is in

regard to inconsistent bowel movements

in one dakedo I have been doing keto

since August and I have

awesome results Thank You dr. Berg but

I’m a little concerned as to if I need

to maybe start your gallbladder

supplement to help out with that

inconsistency good question do you have

any problem with right shoulder pain

headaches or anything goes up into the

right side of your head or shoulder um

no I have not experienced just recently

I started just a little with headaches

and I have just assumed it’s because I

have been drinking more water just plain

water versus what I normally do is like

lemon water or you know water with a

little salt in it okay do you still have

any cravings for sugars or carbs no not

at all okay good so I think yeah I’m

thinking more gallbladder support would

be good because gallbladder as the bile

and helps to lubricate the colon that’s

one thought the other thing is the

potassium from the electrolytes that is

really good to help keep you regular and

I mean it has magnesium in it potassium

and all the electrolytes so it’s kind of

a toss-up so one of the two would be

good for you but yeah when you start

going in keto you need to start to

increase certain nutrients potassium is

the big one minerals and then the B

vitamins and of course the gallbladder

is not a bad idea too especially if

you’re doing more fats thanks crystal

all right do we have any do have some

good questions coming in yeah it’s

really cool because as you’re talking

people are constantly responding to what

you’re saying and so we’re getting a

handful of people who are saying wait I

have right shoulder pain I have pain on

my right side what’s that all about

okay so here’s here’s the symptoms of

gallbladder and I’m gonna actually I’m

already down within a gallbladder

booklet that I’m gonna put out but the

gallbladder is a sac that sits

underneath the right ribcage and it’s

connected to this thing called the liver

there’s a little tube that comes down

and then what happens the liver makes

this thing called bile bile helps you

break down the grease or the fats so it

the gallbladder stores bile and it

concentrates bile

so when you eat it

tracks and helps you digest the fats why

do you need to digest fats because you

need them in a cell you didn’t put

hormone and you need the fat soluble

vitamins vitamin A for the eyes d kk2

for the bones and calcium metabolism so

you can see it has really broad effects

so what was my question again Karen

right like when you start talking and be

like you’re sowing it full circle lately

okay

memory loss no I was but the right side

of your neck and shoulder and even into

your right arm or anything on the right

side it’s usually stemming from the

gallbladder and the way that you can

know that is go ahead and massage

underneath your right ribcage about one

inch down over to the right off the

midline and just press that for like 30

seconds and see if those those symptoms

have banished if they have there’s a

connection because there’s a nerve

called the phrenic nerve that’s

connected from the gallbladder all the

way up to the right shoulder because

when you step on a dog’s tail he barks

through his mouth right okay so the hip

bones connected to the phrenic nerve oh

yeah so everything’s connected so you

have to really understand the

relationship all this right shoulder

stuff which I had for 12 years I had no

clue it was coming from our gallbladder

so but when you go on the keto and in a

minute fasting correctly with all the

vegetables the gallbladder is now happy

and a lot of those symptoms go away so

just realize that if you get massages on

that right upper shoulder blade thing

and then your neck and it’s not going

away

check the gallbladder I want to make a

point yeah go ahead so some people are

you know we’re talking about cheat day

and Thanksgivings coming up and how okay

we’re gonna have a cheat day on

Thanksgiving and you know dr. Berg lives

to eat I don’t I mean he eats to live

right right I don’t live to eat but I am

nowhere near as disciplined as he is I

have to work on it all the time but we

have some recipes that are really going

to push us through Thanksgiving

it’s all on the site there’s the most

amazing pecan pie

there are biscuits there’s candy there’s

cranberry cranberry sauce which I might

not have on maybe I’ll do that one maybe

I’ll do that one today there’s all

there’s all kinds of things so it’s a

gradient rate you might not have it

totally as dr. Burke says clean

Thanksgiving dinner but there are so

many things that you can have and not at

all feel like you’re cheating and still

be in Quito well I just want to say that

well the problem with Karen issues a

good cook really good and she’ll make

this pecan pie it’s highly addictive and

he eats it all and you you just can’t

stop eating it because it’s just no I do

think about it but that’s the promise do

you make it too good so if you made it

halfway good maybe we know the point the

point is that for Thanksgiving there’s a

couple things one instead of the mashed

potatoes you can do the cauliflower

there’s a lot of different things that

you can do but this is what I would this

is my tip of the day Karen for a

Thanksgiving now ready for this I’m

ready make a note okay here’s the tip of

the day why don’t you just turn

Thanksgiving into an in a minute fasting

day where you eat one meal okay so in

other words don’t eat anything in the

morning I have that one Thanksgiving

meal and go ahead and do what you need

to do and go right back on your program

because at least that you’re not

stimulating in insulin as much and you

can like have this big meal okay just

the tip Karen just a tip I’m picking up

what you’re throwing down good so so

it’s rough are you saying are you saying

now you can cheat

what do you I didn’t say cheap you can’t

just have one big lied that big huge I’m

going to have people here say Dan if

you’re gonna cheat eat less frequent

because I know not everyone is gonna be

as perfect a hundred percent of time as

you like me right okay but hey in our

house pecan pie and cabbies if that

doesn’t feel like cheating I don’t know

what does

right so it’s Roth I from Toronto you

had a question I probably butchered your

name but anyway you had a question about

weight loss go ahead yes hi dr. Burke

thank you so much for all your tips I’ve

been I’ve watched all your videos now I

have a question for you I’ve been doing

your program for about I would say about

a month now with long intermittent

fasting now the only time I can get to

workout is 5:15 in the morning and

that’s because I have a little one and

my husband has to go to work by 6:30 so

I’m usually home by 6:30

but then when I do my hips interval

training which is a program I have

joined it’s called Orangetheory I’m not

sure if you’re familiar with it so yeah

I do very high intensity workout I don’t

eat anything up until 11:30 and 12:00

and that’s my last meal would be

probably six o’clock in the evening so I

am doing anywhere between 14 to 18 hour

fasting now is that okay not eating

after a hits work Jonah and I usually do

it three to four times a week okay and I

do have been having a really hard time

losing weight to be honest even though

I’ve been on the ketogenic diet and

intermittent fasting well I do the days

I work out I do go to bed early between

8 & 9 o’clock at night so roughly

between I would say like 6 to 8 hours of

good sleep I would say okay but I’m also

I have like bad PMS like not cramping

and all that but I have like really I

have I get into really really bad mood

where it’s like a storm in my house with

my husband I just we argue on over

stupid things

so from what I did the quiz when I did

the quiz on your website it looks like I

have an adrenal gland body type but I

hold my weight all in my legs

not so much my stomach but it’s my legs

great question I do hold on and I do

hold on to a lot of water weight I feel

bloated a lot of time yeah especially

around my cycle okay so before I yeah

like I get really bloated

god I know exactly what’s going on so

let me just answer that out number one I

think that all you really need to do is

add some sea kelp iodine because that

with cruciferous will help your hormonal

female problems which is the menstrual

cycle I think that would actually really

help your PMS seek help

so take like two tablets in the morning

with maybe some cruciferous food

sometime during the day I think that’s

going to help you sometimes you know

might need something called dim which

you can look that up I have it on the

website and videos too more strong it’s

actually stronger but that’s one thing

but the fact that you have fluid

retention and all that connected to your

cycle means that your estrogen dominant

so I think that is the hormone that’s

inhibiting that your metabolism you’re

doing everything great and I think I

would continue to do the height

intensity level training and and do it

just like you’re saying you know like I

used to say in certain videos like you

could actually only do your workouts

right in the eating period but I changed

my mind in that because unless you have

a severe blood sugar it allow actually

help you it’ll speed things up if you

exercise during the fasting period if

you can handle that it’s actually a

really good thing in fact it’ll speed

things up but for you you need to handle

this other health issue that’s slowing

things down that’s all and I think

things will speed up all right good

Karen you have any questions sure so

many here’s one though I feel really

moody and agitated lately and I get

upset at the

smallest things how could I handle that

well this is this is brings up a really

good topic with hypoglycemia or low

blood sugars which is so common so

common I mean I would say the great

majority of the population out there has

a blood sugar issue and they don’t even

know it they’re unaware of it so and

that when you have low blood sugars it

affects your brain and your emotions and

your mood more than anything else that

I’ve seen so you have moodiness

irritable miss you get on the keto in a

minute fasting the problem is when you

get on it you know everyone’s telling

you maybe to eat more frequently because

you have a blood sugar and you’re trying

to keep the triggers up so there’s a

transition phase when you get on keto

and Emin fasting that could be one to

two weeks that you might have to do it

very very gradually so you can prevent

this moodiness and things but as soon as

you convert over and you don’t cheat

between the meals your cognitive

function your overall emotional state

will be so much better I promise so and

that’s real the flexion of your blood

sugars and hypoglycemia so that is

really underneath the great majority of

problems out there that are misdiagnosed

and people put on medications alright

hey Anne you’re from Boston you have a

question about a supplement I do in good

morning thank one so much for all your

help and education and information I’ve

watched all your videos particularly

about the pregnenolone field the adrenal

function and also how you can get stuck

in a stress mode and you have some sort

of massage technique for releasing that

but my concern is when I called in they

said that you used to have a supplement

for arm a blood test to show there was a

problem with the pregnenolone

I also have a high pair of thyroid

hormones low vitamin D and I was

diagnosed as being a pre-diabetic so I

was trying to find out what to order to

try to address all of these things and

also I watched your videos about the

fibroid

tumors and they said the pregnenolone

when you took a supplement that it might

make your menstrual cycle start again if

your post mental menopausal and even

though it had good benefits that that’s

one of the side effects that I do not

want right well my missile cycle to

start again so I was hoping you could

shine a light on what to do as far as

all of these hormonal problems and

actually the pregnenolone and the stress

factor with the adrenal problem so you

did you also say you at a low thyroid

parathyroid was a which it was high

excessive calcium it’s complicated I

hope I’m saying it the way the doctors

were saying is holy my parathyroid

hormone was high and they said it they

think it’s hard because my vitamin D is

low so a lot of things are out of

balance yeah okay so this is a really

great question when you have all these

factors that don’t quite make sense it’s

confusing you have high low high high

hormone over here and a low hormone over

here and someone comes to me what I

don’t want to do is get into the whole

thing where we’re we’re correcting

symptoms and the reason is because we’re

not taking a stack stepping back and

looking at the whole picture because you

can imagine the complexities and oh yeah

let’s give you a little bit more d3 but

that really didn’t get rid of the whole

problem or the real underlying issue so

when you evaluate you want to look at

all the symptoms and try to make sense

out of it

the parathyroid gland if that is altered

it’s it’s probably a really good a good

idea to see if there’s a little tumor on

the parathyroid gland just to make sure

because if there is you might want to

get that handle because you have four

parathyroids so you have it you have the

luxury of you know surviving on one or

two of them and doing fine because you

don’t want any tumors growing but the

point is that what I would do in this

situation is go back to the basics I

would like to want to make

sure that you have the basics are you

doing kiddo are you doing in a minute

fasting are you having enough vegetables

are you doing enough nutrients in the

body and then reevaluate everything you

know a couple months because you’re

gonna find that a lot of things will go

away just by getting in the basics

without treating any symptoms at all

because there’s many different causes of

a low vitamin D there’s many different

causes of hyper thyroid issue and but

the fact that you have insulin

resistance or a pre-diabetic tells me

that the the ketogenic and the Newman

fasting will probably help you more than

anything and when you get that corrected

I’d be really curious to see how many

other things go back into balance the

fact that you have an adrenal issue

tells me that that probably would not be

a bad idea to support that because the

during the stress states that will raise

cortisol and even dump more sugar than

the system from that so out of anything

I think I would support the adrenal

first and then do the keto intermittent

fasting and then reevaluate and see how

many things get better okay good

question hey Glen you’re from Florida

you had a question about diverticulitis

well actually I have uncommon for two

people okay and it’s all about

intermittent fasting and keto first of

all you’ve got to understand that you

are my hero you have saved my daughter’s

like she is yeah it’s it’s no small

thing

she is half Samoan and you know someone

women average about three hundred plus

then on top of all she is a semi driver

and she’s been averaging about 286

pounds now I’m a nurse and a

nutritionist and I’ve talked to her all

her life till I’m blue in the face and

she just blows me off well she hit about

50 and she decided well okay I’m gonna

start doing something about this now the

thing that really amazed me and her

doctor she’s always had perfect blood

pressure perfect heartbeat perfect

cholesterol perfect blood sugar and she

just you know and I just thought she’s a

time bomb

the law was she got to taking care

taking like some super things like

spirulina nutritional yeast start doing

some really good things and then she hit

on your YouTube videos and she just

really got into you and I was so need

you know what she weighs now what she

weighs 234 pounds and still going that’s

something I am so relieved and you are

so responsible I can’t tell you how much

I love I love you I just do okay now she

has a question she wants to know why you

never mentioned pistachios and are they

good for her okay good good let me

answer that pistachios I’ll have to do a

video on pistachios I I think they’re

one of the better nuts and specifically

because the amount of essential fatty

acids in pistachios mostly the most

people consume they’re roasted which is

fine there’s still some nutrition in

there but it’s a really good healthy fat

to have at the end of the meal not

between the meal because we don’t want

to spike insulin because the problem

with nuts is this it’s a great snack and

it’s hard to just have a little bit and

so if the round the house and late at

night or between meals people just kind

of constantly put them in their mouth so

I think at the end of the meal it’s the

perfect thing to to help you feel

satisfied to go to the next meal so the

best nut I think personally with all the

phytonutrients would be the pecan first

pistachios are very high in that and

walnuts and then pistachio is probably

the third one but generally speaking and

peanuts are low low end but generally

speaking these nuts are very very

healthy and especially if you are

they’re germinated correctly and you

don’t have all the different enzyme

inhibitors but I’ll have to do a video

on pistachios because there’s some other

aspects to it that would take a little

bit longer but thank you so much for

your call and I know you have another

hot yeah for me I have been diagnosed

with I’m in so much pain severe

diverticulitis

and my problem is that my doctor kind of

went off on me she didn’t know that I

was doing intermittent fasting and I was

trying to get off sugars and and and I’m

working on this ketosis diet and and she

put me for this diverticulum Oh God she

put me on this bland diet that’s got all

over pasta has carbs and all this crap

and and I don’t I don’t you know I’m a

nursing but I I’ve really never dealt

with diverticulitis delicious and

wherever this crap is excuse my language

I don’t know what to do I’m eating

pastas Rice’s rice all this white crappy

mashie whatever I don’t know how to

convert it to ketones

a ketosis a diet I I I am adding so much

trouble I don’t know what to do okay so

let me just oh yeah let me answer that

it’s kind of like um you got it almost

be careful we get advice from and who

you follow even though someone’s a

so-called expert in the field it’s kind

of like the information that they’re

been taught honestly I think is

incorrect I would go back to a really

healthy keto and definitely in a minute

fasting because think about it your

intestinal tract when you’re not eating

goes through a healing phase and it’s

not constantly work so much so you we

don’t want to like overload it with work

to do when it’s trying to heal so in a

minute fasting is the ultimate thing so

I just would not try to go get help from

the traditional people in healthcare for

that condition if it’s not working get

alternative advice for maybe a whole

alternative practitioner or myself and

do in a minute fasting which is the most

important thing right now and then make

sure the foods maybe you’re not going to

be able to digest kale and some of the

raw vegetables but fermented vegetables

like sauerkraut it should be you should

have at least a serving of sauerkraut

with a couple times a day that’s going

to give you the vitamin C it’s going to

give you the fermentation get probiotics

and I actually have some videos on that

one topic and I would study that but the

what you’re doing now with all the

grains is gonna mess you up long term

it’s the worst thing to do so get on the

the program that I told you stick with

that do more fermented vegetables and a

supplement that would be good to be

glutamate and I think you’re gonna heal

over time so thanks for that question

hey Karen do we have any quick questions

over there the good questions the good

questions my team right here good

questions for my team there’s some

questions about estrogen what is dim and

then there’s something here I’m

unfamiliar with maybe you know about

called maka MACC a and estrogen what are

your thoughts on that

yeah maka is like a superfood it’s a

green powder that people get and it’s a

high end vital nutrients I think it’s

great I think it’s great as they

phytonutrient rich thing very similar to

tumeric so that’s my comment I think

that would be good to add to the meals

dim on the other hand is a concentrated

cruciferous it’s like eating a lot of

cruciferous in a very small tablet and

dim is like 25 times concentrated

cruciferous so it has great properties

to balance estrogen now some people say

that’s anti estrogen ik but really what

it does it doesn’t lower your estrogen

it just loyals lowers the bad estrogen

and it raises the good estrogen so it’s

really good for things like cystic acne

it’s good for hot flashes it’s good for

excessive bad estrogen that leads to

issues for men that have too much

estrogen it’s good for men and also

women as well and then I think there was

one more thing we said makamaka

dim and what else no just maca and dim

but I want to say to the caller and to a

few people who’ve been sending some

questions in that I am going to be

looking at some more recipes for truck

drivers because I just learned about

these Road Pro appliances and it’s a

really big issue for these guys and gals

who are on the road all the time sitting

all the time

and they have to rely on you know these

these trucker stops and I’m betting

there’s not kale and you know keto

friendly food there so we’re going to

talk more about that and I could imagine

that the truck steps are very similar to

like a convenience store where you’re

getting just the lowest level nutrition

on the planet quick food yeah well I

think it’s like a diner yeah and you’re

not going to go to a diner and expect

keto although you know there are there

are some diners around here popping up

and serving that kind of thing but it’s

not the common it’s not in the main

right yeah there was something else I

was gonna throw in there but now you you

come up with that and I’m gonna I’m

gonna take a question from Amanda she’s

from Georgia go ahead you had a question

Amanda yes sir I just had a quick

question about your stance on t2 fuel or

keto OS or any of those things those

drinks that get you back into instant

ketosis yeah okay good question

there’s this big thing now it’s a kind

of a sound that’s all the rage on taking

ketone drinks or ketone supplements

where you’re actually just taking

external ketones here’s my viewpoint

ketones are a byproduct of ketosis or a

fat-burning ketones are an alternative

fuel source so when people take ketones

they’re missing whole point it’s like

they’re taking something that’s that’s

art it kind of like an artificially

induced ketones now if you have not

changed your diet it’s really not going

to do any good in fact if you look at

the claims for these ketones they really

can’t say anything because they can’t

there’s no studies that show that it

actually helps you lose weight or it

does much for you at all maybe they

might be good for a long distance runner

that needs a fuel source but honestly it

really for me my

you pointed two defeats the whole

purpose of changing your eating to get

your own body into a state of ketosis

because this is gonna lead to I don’t

have to change as much I don’t suppose

focus on the carbs or sugar I could just

add this and get into ketosis which

they’re measuring in the urine well

that’s just because the ketones are

going right through and coming out to

the urine that doesn’t mean you’re in

ketosis it means that you’re dumping

keep ketones in the presence of a little

bit of insulin or sugar your state of

ketosis will be shut down ketosis is

about dropping your carbs way down so

honestly I think I don’t recommend it

because it’s I have not seen the results

some people say well I work out and I

get a lot of energy but there’s a lot of

people who are paying over 130 dollars

per month for this stuff and they don’t

really see much change so I think it’s

the fad I think it’ll come and go but

the point is I would rather you focus on

the root problem get the diet back in

and save your money I have another

question okay Karen this has come up a

couple of times

what about intermittent fasting in a

keto diet after gastric bypass surgery

okay gastric bypass you’re basically

taking a part of the anatomy and you’re

reducing the size of the stomach lining

or the intestinal absorption truck if

you have this done it’s imperative that

you definitely do a minute fasting in

ketosis because that’s gonna eventually

fix the reason why you needed it in the

first place

people that have a way problem always

have an insulin resistance issue so

might as well correct the problem

because if you’re if you do gastric

bypass and then you don’t change or

correct the real problem you might gain

the way back so many women or men that

do this they end up having complications

and problems because they’re they’re

kind of like not getting to the root

issue the problem once you have it is

that you have a less surface of your

stomach so you can’t absorb the

nutrients and proteins like you did

before

and I did a video on this so what you’re

gonna have to do is probably enhance

your diet with trace minerals for

example liquid trace minerals 3-1

because you’re gonna have a hard time

absorbing him you’re probably gonna have

to do between hundred corridor outside a

vinegar more to get your stomach more

acidic so you can start digesting more

protein and you might not be able to do

the quantities of the vegetables and the

food oh well still do in a minute

fasting as much as you can and the other

thing is that when you reduce the

stomach and intestine you also alter the

function of the liver and the

gallbladder to some degree so you may

have to help your gallbladder because if

you or if you don’t have a gallbladder

that’s even worse because you’re not

going to be able to produce the bile to

help you pull the fat soluble vitamins

so when you do gastric bypass that’s

really about maybe making sure that you

get all the nutrients and so you might

need to add more bile to this mix so you

can pull more things without Seibel

vitamins and trace minerals are a big

missing link okay so I have another

question from Michigan it’s you’re on

the air go ahead pretty normal but after

that surgery he’s having a linear

problem like that left you will open

around like 10 or sometimes like nine

point eight so doctor gave him some

supplements like then also some kind of

like injection in the bone marrow so

that I think the bone can produce more

ox even I guess and so this is like what

he can do to get out of it like

I mean what is the solution for this I

secondly he also detected with the gall

to gallbladder

yeah but those are not giving him any

pain okay

good let me just kind of I would with

your father he really needs to get the

basics there’s a really cool keto course

it’s not mobile friendly right now go on

my site actually if you’re on Facebook

right now you can type under messenger

kita course and get this really cool

course it’s like four videos it’s a mini

course free course and this is what your

your father needs to do to to get the

basics of how to get keto implemented

and in a minute fasting at the same time

watch those videos and apply that

information for those of you are on

youtube there’s a link down below you

can click to go to messenger and

actually take the course as well again

I’m trying to get people on the basics

here you have someone that had a stint

so we know there was a an artery problem

probably the coronary artery

most likely which is coming from high

levels of insulin that’s grazing the

cholesterol creating all sorts of clots

and in fibrous tissue and damage to the

arteries and all this so if we recommend

anything like a supplement or anything

it’s not going to even touch it or

prevent it in the future unless he gets

these basics corrected you have to fix

insulin especially for the

cardiovascular system the cardiovascular

system responds so well to improving

insulin resistance I mean especially

with any type of like blood pressure and

cholesterol issues and just the healing

in general on top of that I would

recommend that he get vitamin k2 and

this is just something for the rigidness

and the arteries to improve that

something to help balance the calcium

buildup in the arteries

anyone with any type of weakness within

cardiovascular should really take

vitamin k2 you can go to my website and

type or you tube and just type on k2 I

have a lot of videos on k2 but if you’re

not aware of it it’s something you

should be aware

like get the basics in that’s what I

would do now that he had the stint

that’s that’s good but now we have to

get to the root cause so in a minute

fasting to be awesome actually so thanks

for that question for those of you that

are on Facebook I have a lot of cool new

information that I’m releasing on

YouTube so go there and subscribe and

those people are on YouTube go to

Facebook I’m actually releasing some of

some new information in there so it’s

not all the same information on all the

different platforms and if you’re on

periscope go these other platforms and

subscribe or follow me because right now

a big question about what do I eat on my

site right now I have I’m releasing like

a bit a new recipe every single day in

the right proportion of carbs proteins

and fats so this will give you a lot of

great ideas on what to eat with your

meals because sometimes it’s hard to

figure out like should I have more fat

should have more carbs or whatever or in

the form of vegetables or whatever so I

give you a lot of examples and we have a

really good chef that’s helping helping

me with the recipes so sign up for that

and go to the different platforms and

then start being educated on these

basics it’s time for Karen to ask me

another question well here’s a good one

about iron absorption how can you

increase iron absorption and let me

throw to questions and so that seems to

be the gimmick today

Toofer yeah I have just oh shoot answer

that but then come back to me okay

iron absorption really has to do with

the pH of the body when the pH is

correct in a stomach you can absorb iron

the fastest way to correct an iron

problem would be to just drink apple

cider vinegar with each meal that drops

the pH and all of a sudden you can start

absorbing all these minerals and this

relates to a recent video I did with how

to never get a cavity again I mean think

about a child for a child to have a

calve

which comes from Latin word which means

decay like it’s bizarre to me that you

would have someone that young having a

part of the body in a state of

degeneration or at decay enamel is

stronger than steel what really it has

to do with the pH the PFT pH becomes too

acidic in the mouth it should be neutral

which is 7 if it goes drops down to 6 or

5 or even 4 it’s going to start to

demineralize calcium and phosphorous

from the teeth and break down enamel and

that usually comes from more bacteria in

the mouth from a lack of Listerine no

just kidding

it comes from excessive sugar because

the kids are even drinking liquid sugar

right now and so we got to get the sugar

out of the diet okay out of the diet

don’t get me started

replace replace the sugar with

alternative healthiest sugars like sugar

alcohols like xylitol but by the way I

had another question someone in the

confusion they thought that sugar

alcohol was an alcohol know when you

have sugar alcohols like a wreath rotol

salat all it is nothing to do with

alcohol you’re not gonna be getting

alcohol from that at all it’s a healthy

alternative especially if it’s non-gmo

and and most of sugar the people are

consuming now come from beet sugar which

most beet is GMO so they’re not even

getting sugar cane anymore all right

so Karen I think you had another

question yeah well we have a lot of

questions about skins so there’s keto

rash rosacea sagging skin a lot of

questions about sagging skin so what can

we do to improve skin because women love

beautiful skin ok so there’s two points

to this question and this is going to be

the last question of the evening but so

there’s when you go into ketosis and

especially in a minute fasting you’re

gonna eventually long-term go onto a

toffee giotto Fuji is like Auto Fei Jie

if you just want to type it and look it

up is the most amazing process condition

when your body is recycling old and

damaged cellular parts and replacing

with new

it’s like an anti-aging recycler it’s

taking the junk out of the trunk it’s

taking the garbage out of the house and

cleaning it and it cleans up old fungus

bacteria viruses so it’s a really good

amazing thing and anyone fasting it’s a

powerful stimulator of that so your skin

is gonna look better the longer you do

this you’re gonna look younger in the

short term though when you convert from

sugar to fat burning you’re gonna go

through what’s called keto deputation

sometimes in that case you might have a

rash met at a skin issue that’s usually

a B vitamin deficiency that’s why I

recommend nutritional yeast I have a

nutritional yeast tablet that’s non

fortified that means that doesn’t have

any synthetic vitamins that’s really

easy to take because it’s in a tablet

form that would be a good solution or

you can do the powder just make sure

it’s not fortified if you look at B

vitamin deficiencies one of the side

effects is always a skin problem b2 b3

b6 biotin b1 the side effects from those

deficiencies are always a skin problem

so by taking more you can have beautiful

skin so hey thank you so much for your

questions guys we’re going to end up now

and the music is coming and thank you

somebody with Karen for answering the

million questions you’re welcome thanks

guys for all your questions right see

you next week
