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 Berg hey guys welcome

back it’s Friday morning and we’re gonna

take your calls and we have Karen in the

house today so yeah so we’re gonna have

a lot of questions lined up so so oh and

anything that I say is not meant to

diagnose you or give you replace medical

advice it’s just meant for you to do

more research with you and your doctor

and then come up with your own

conclusions okay good that being said

anything you say can and will be used

against yes that’s right in the home in

the kitchen that’s right okay all right

so hey Derek he’s a regular caller from

Queens you had a question Derek how you

doing hey dr. Berg how you doing good

hey I’m also a year-round member of your

keto and is group and it’s just uh just

an amazing platform it really is awesome

right which leads me to my to my concern

today I have a have a really terrible

third that has kind of thrown me off the

keto and is and and it actually started

from the if’ I’ve been battling this

since basically last August every time I

go through long periods of fasting it’s

like my stomach my stomach acid starts

bubbling up and then this crazy acid

reflux starts a non-stop and it’s now

been like almost 30 days now this is

going on it just doesn’t stop the valve

the valve does not close like your music

teacher I started taking I was taking

basically

10 betaine hydrochloride capsules with

each meal I’ve done basically everything

that I know of them basically that you

spoke on it so as I have a question I

have a question for you

did they ever scope the stomach and tell

you what’s going on with the lining of

the stomach is there any type of

inflammatory thing going on lining the

stomach

yes I had an endoscopy end of December

and there was a inflammation and in my

stomach duodenum and well actually the

legend actually showed one inflammation

and then five other places that said

benign okay and two were in my esophagus

one in my stomach and two in my duodenum

okay so here’s what I’m gonna recommend

Eric there’s a couple things number one

obviously the inflammation to have that

obviously it’s a chronic problem which

is going to take some work but in this

situation even though you need acidifier

zand episode of vinegar and betaine how

to chloride and all these things if you

have a sensitivity in your stomach if

your stomach is raw if there’s a ulcer

if there’s gastritis you’re gonna have

to do regular wheatgrass juice powder or

chlorophyll to help heal that over time

with a lot of vitamin C and preferably

from the food so you do you know a lot

of bell peppers a lot of greens and

things like that so that’s one thing

that will actually eventually heal heal

it but I think to close that valve that

valve most of the valves in your

digestive system are controlled by

something called the autonomic nervous

system and to actually help that you may

need something called benfotiamine in

higher amounts that’s the type of B

vitamin that’s in a fat Seibel and take

higher amounts of that because that’s

really good to support the neurology

from damage from insulin resistance and

things like that so it’ll help the

nerves it helps

something called the diet diabetic

neuropathy

and problems with the autonomic nervous

system so I think that’s going to be

your best bet that been thought to mean

in higher amounts and then the other

thing is to start kind of focusing on

more probiotics and stuff to start

working on the smaller intestine okay

and then we’re just gonna have to give

it some time in a pinch even though I

don’t like to do a lot of this do a

little bit of maybe some baking soda if

you really need to do something but I

don’t like that option but as a as a way

to get some relief and temporarily just

do small amounts here and there all

right thanks Derek all right we’re gonna

go to Ruth from Texas you had a question

go ahead Ruth oh good morning doctor

very good morning Karen hi I am loving

all of your supplements and I just kind

of fool around with them a little bit to

tweak them to make them work for me and

the sleep aid was one of those that I

tried and for some reason it gave me

this strange wakeful sleep so I used to

return policy sent it back and had them

send me the vegan one and it works

wonderfully and it puts me right to

sleep

the problem is is at 3 o’clock in the

morning it’s like someone tapped me on

the shoulder and I’m awake and it’s a

wide awake

feel that if I try and roll over and go

to sleep sometimes I can but otherwise I

have to get up and read or watch TV for

about an hour and then I can go back to

sleep

now you had a video on this and I have

searched high and low for it but I can’t

find it I think you said it had

something to do with the adrenals and

cortisol but I can’t remember yeah well

let me just talk about that did by the

way do you have this tool oh that yes

yes and I used that before I go to bed

at night okay I do good so let’s just

talk about this after a second with them

do you have these rhythms of hormones

that kind of come out

and down and there’s a there definitely

a pattern with a lot of adrenal cases

that tend to get up at 2 and 3 o’clock

right right when you’re supposed to have

the most deep rejuvenating sleep that’s

when you’re like the most awake you’re

like okay I’m ready to go right I had

that problem so that that’s an

indication of adrenal totally adrenal as

you’re doing this tool a massage tool on

your body before you go to bed I would

spend a lot of work on the adrenal

points on the left and right of your

abdomen and really work those out

hardcore and also the back points which

is called the sympathetic so that’s the

flight-or-fight that’ll just really help

you a lot but it is an adrenal issue the

other thing that you can do for the

adrenal as well is take a little bit of

calcium before bed

I recommend calcium or at 8 calcium or

at 8 if you can find a calcium magnesium

orientate that would be the ideal scene

but you may need a little bit of calcium

right before bed and boom that should

give you some relief because calcium

does support the it’s called the

sympathetics in the nervous system so I

think that’s really all you need to do

right now and that should kind of put

the icing on the cake I’m sorry that

should just like solve that little

problem you know you’re doing better it

might kind of you need a little bit of

assistance okay Ruth thanks for your

call I appreciate that

all right Karen hey hi I’m not gonna lie

I’m having a little trouble with

facebook because there’s some Adobe

Flash Player that’s not downloading on

my mobile device and there’s some change

there so if the guys can’t come out and

fix this I have YouTube only that’s my

waiver that’s my disclaimer but first

because it’s important I want to say

hello to people from Mexico

Kenya England Tampa Florida Tennessee

Nashville Oh is still Tennessee Taiwan

all over the place you guys good morning

okay good so I had an interesting

here somebody’s asking can you use the

trace minerals liquid to put into

distilled water and would that make the

difference or what yeah yeah you

absolutely could put that in the water I

think the challenge with distilled water

as it has no mineral so it creates a

vacuum and it starts to pull it can pull

heavy metals and minerals from your own

system and you know you got to really

know what you’re doing when you do

distilled water especially in large

quantities and also for a period of time

because it can deplete you of your

minerals so I think putting trace

minerals would be a nice solution to

that I think that’s a great idea

actually okay good

yeah okay good so I’m up and running

with both both apps now okay so let me

go over here if you can

Oh Scotland awesome I want to go

Scotland okay okay okay so I’m a little

all over the place just getting oriented

I know you forgive me back to the phones

okay okay so Raj you’re from North

Carolina you had a question about your

getting coldness in your extremities yes

I can hear you now yes yeah hello Karen

it was good to see you again

hi thank you Bert

dr. Berg the last time I spoke with you

about the heart rate the zinc the

vitamin b-complex that I’m taking and

that did help me lower the heart rate

resting heart rate higher than 22 98 in

the morning too but I also added

melatonin the night before and that

again dropped it down to 80 which is my

regular so I want to really thank you

I’m not taking the bed of our blockers

anymore so I really appreciate that

Frank um my question is I have whenever

I break my past I have a really coldness

in my fingers to the extent it kind of

pains the more I eat the more pain

and so we had a had a urine test done

and they found benzene in it I don’t

know if benzene would cause that but so

I’m taking bentonite clay to get rid of

the benzene my benzene levels are full

point three that’s full times higher

than you know point five zero which is a

little Q ll o Q units I don’t know what

that means so I was hoping you could

give me some tips on how to maybe get

rid of the benzene in my blood maybe I

mean I have also called this in my

kneecaps

as the allness of the kneecaps and the

fingertips is connected is it connected

to benzene but this only happens when I

eat but after about an hour or so the

coldness and the pain in the fingertips

goes away okay yeah I hate that when

that happens with that darn benzene in

the urine it just it’s just you know

it’s it’s a very unusual thing but

there’s obviously I don’t have enough

data to tell you about where that’s

coming from but I would definitely

research it it’s obviously there’s

something you’re consuming or doing

maybe it’s the chain smoking I don’t

know but I’m just kidding but what

happens is benzene is this is a poison

it’s obviously in your body somehow you

got to clean that out so first of all

find out what you’re doing that’s going

in your body but there’s two things

bentonite clay is is the type of clay

that works through not absorption

absorption so it kind of lets things

cling on the outside electrically to

this particle so you can pull 2,000

times the weight of that particle out of

the body so it’s a great detox but you

got to take it on an empty stomach and

that should clean up your system I would

do completely organic foods make sure

everything is like really clean without

any pesticides and start doing that and

there’s one more thing a charcoal is

another great detoxifier that won’t make

you feel sick but I think that’s

probably what’s

messing up your temperature and your

coldness but if it’s if it doesn’t go

away when you find the source of that

and eliminate that you need some iodine

okay because the reason you have the

pulse rate I think is because I think

you’re a mineral deficient so I then is

another mineral that can then make you

cold especially if you’re doing in a

minute fasting so I would start beefing

up the minerals and see if it doesn’t

help you and then let me know how you do

with that benzene dope I mean let me

know what you find that you’re being

exposed to because sometimes you’ll be

like wow I didn’t know I’m not supposed

to be eating that and it’s full with

benzene you know so like I’d have no

data but it’d be interesting to find out

thanks Raj all right so Karen hi Beth

did we get some questions oh we did we

have some stuff going here all right

so Robert on Facebook asks about Keo and

intermittent fasting if you have a

history of blood clots okay so here’s

the thing I did a video on this when you

have clotting and you can have your

predisposed to clotting if you have

insulin resistance so insulin and high

insulin and insulin resistance and high

blood sugar will increase the risk of

getting clots so the opposite of that

scenario is ketone and fasting which

will bring down those clotting factors

and that will actually help you so keto

and intermittent fasting is the exact

thing to do to decrease the risk for

clotting okay hands down and also

someone asked about should I do in a

minute fasting and keto if I’m a

diabetic or if I’m a pre-diabetic I’m

like have you been watching my videos

right the answer is the big fat yes you

need to do that watch the videos go on

the website and want do the free courses

the starter courses this is key if you

guys are new that’s what you have to do

that’ll really get you started but I

have another question yeah how would a

polite or vinegar affect getting into

ketosis or help with intermittent

fasting or will it break a fast right

well it won’t break a fast

it improves insulin resistance which

will help you lower your insulin help

your blood Sugar’s and help you get into

ketosis a lot better it’s one of the

great things about it in fact it’ll help

your hunger improve reduce your hunger

it improves a you know diabetic symptoms

so yeah it’s gonna help you will not

break the fast at all some people have

irritable stomachs or inflammation or an

ulcer so you’d have to have it with the

meal but other than that I would

definitely not worry about that breaking

the past okay good and then if you can’t

drink it you can do the digest right

yeah do something called digest formula

it has a powdered upset of vinegar

quite a bit with another thing called

betaine hydrochloride which is the

natural thing to build up your

hydrochloric acid which so many people

have a problem with they don’t have

enough stomach acid and so they can

enjoy the minerals we can’t break down

proteins they can’t kill the microbes

going in so they get all sorts of

digestive issues that sounds awful you

like that answer okay I have another

question yeah okay good what’s your

thought on diatomaceous earth and you’ll

have to explain what that is to some

people but does it have any effect on

ketosis or any manifest great to kill

ants and bugs and all sorts of things

and it’s a it’s um it’s friendly in your

body it won’t affect your body and it

has various properties you know related

to countering toxins and also improving

your immune system and killing off

microbes in your body you know I think

it’s a great thing I just haven’t done

enough research to see if it creates a

really big effect other people swear by

it I did try it yeah did you notice any

change didn’t mean that doesn’t mean

it’s not bad we tried it and we give it

to Charlie yeah I give it to Charlie

almost every day that’s right that’s our

son Charlie that’s our dog you guys know

we we need to bring Charlie here Charlie

has become a vegan he likes he likes

vegetables if I start cutting some bell

peppers he’s like sitting right there

like waiting like give me that Bell know

what about what about that bag of

carrots the other day

so we have a guy fixing the he’s fixing

your house and he and he has brought

these are carrots knows his carrots he

grabbed the bag and I think I sent a

video on Instagram you start growling he

wouldn’t let us ate that whole bag so

you know what I think we’re going to

switch into a vegan diet no we’re not

but okay we digress hey guys so listen I

got a really cool download this is

called the keto adaptation remedy card

you can download it there’s a link down

below and what this is all about you cut

out this thing and you keep it in your

wallet

and so that way if you happen to be on

keto and have muscle cramps you know

what to do okay it’s a great thing all

the different symptoms that can happen

oh what do ya and ya bloating do you get

this rash you know hey you got the

remedy right here great for rashes again

okay good

alright so now we’re gonna go to Bob

he’s been waiting for 53 minutes okay

Bob you’re from spoken Spokane

Washington go ahead

yeah dr. burr greeting from West Coast

yeah hey I just wanted to say thanks so

much for this program I started it the

day after Valentine’s Day and the

changes in my health are they’re so

astounding it’s really is unbelievable

virtually every health marker has

improved dramatically for a now weight

lower blood pressure I have stopped

taking daily medication for my asthma

for the first time in 51 years wow

that’s amazing

Bob well done amazing I’ll give you

another quick deal I actually went in

and had my annual physical three weeks

into this program and voice had kind of

elevated triglycerides and last year

when I had my physical it was at 185 and

after three weeks on this program my

blood came back with a 43 thank gosh

that’s awesome so I I’m a research and

development guy and I really

she ate how much thought you’ve put into

this and I can tell how much of your

life’s work has been dumped into this

program and how thorough your research

is and and your videos and the things I

really appreciate about the program

itself it’s just so simple it’s

something I’m a busy person and I can do

this in one hour once a week and about

15 minutes a day and I can pretty much

prep all of this stuff and it’s just

really outstanding so I just wanted to

call and say thank you very much all

right awesome

oh you’re welcome thanks Bob yep take

care okay have a good one

yeah I used to live in Washington

Lynnwood Washington practice they’re the

only thing I love the green it just

rained a little too much so I had to dry

out and I move to California really

thank goodness

yeah that’s right met her you know right

that the wife you know the triglycerides

are blood flats blood fats and that is

the the first thing to drop if your

triglycerides are high we know your

carbs are high you get on the ketone in

fasting and that thing comes right down

to normal and it’s a really good

indication of what’s going on with your

your sugars our bodies just weren’t

designed to you know consume that much

sugar it’s not coming from eating fat

it’s the sugar okay so now we’re going

to go to host son Deena

from New York City go ahead you two

question good morning dr. bird boy and

welcome back KarenT thank you i I have a

question about weight I recently did my

annual test and I my vitamin b3 came

back at 22 and GML my vitamin b12 is 383

pg/ml and my insulin is 4.5 4.5 mu L

okay do I need to is

that within the normal range or do you

suggest that I purchase any of your

product well here’s a question did they

do a post meal insulin test or just a

passing insulin test they only did a

fasting yeah so that’s really we want to

see the post meal we want to see the

fasting in the post meal because we want

to see what happens after you eat in the

reaction to insulin Co hayek those how

fast it comes down you saw okay here’s a

couple things before you go the

supplement route I recommend you get the

basics in a healthy ketosis I think one

of the best books to start is this one

right here it’s called it’s not lose

weight to get healthy it’s gonna help

you lose weight

why because you can read it in 45

minutes it has a bunch of pictures in it

it shows you meals exactly what to do

it’s simple but it shows you exactly why

it works and then you fill in the blanks

with this right here and then you know

there’s there’s two main supplements

that I do recommend for people in

general is the nutritional yeast tablets

because it has all the natural B’s I

don’t know if you knew this but most B

vitamins sold are synthetic and

eighty-five percent of all the B B

vitamins in the world are sold through

China so and it’s synthetic and at cost

of like just pennies it’s so cheap when

you get synthetic and my whole viewpoint

is it’s not the same as food based so

that’s why I like the nutritional yeast

and the tablets and then the

electrolytes because I I designed it so

it has a lot of potassium and magnesium

in a Scituate form with the trace

minerals and no sugar so you those two

seem to work really good as you’re

adapting into the keto so you don’t have

any other symptoms and issues because

it’s really hard sometimes for people to

get the potassium they need because they

they just are not used to consuming 25

cups of salad three times a day so you

only really need 7 to 10 but for some

people they need a little bit more now

so yeah I really needed the post insulin

test but and then the b12 deficiency

you have I would recommend getting that

if you’re a vegan it’s a little bit

tough you’d be so you’re gonna have to

get as a supplement make sure you get

the natural form that’s called

methylcobalamin not the cyano Cibola

mine version and if you’re not a vegan

just from some organic grass-fed meat

you can get enough b12 easily if that

still doesn’t work

then you know that you might need to

work on your stomach acids you need to

acidify your stomach with the digestive

formula and then you’ll be fine okay

thank you so much for your call all

right Karen okay good what do we got

well there are a number of questions

revolving around constipation dry skin

dry mucous lining things like that while

they’re on keto and intermittent fasting

so I glommed them all together and over

to you okay so constipation if

constipation is new on the in the

fasting or or keto realize that when you

do intermittent fasting and you go for

my six meals down to one meal you’re not

going to have the same frequency or the

volume of of waste coming out of your

body so you’re not going to have to go

to the bathroom the same amount because

you’re not eating the mass amount of

food okay so that might be something

like oh okay I didn’t realize that so I

don’t need to go three times a day maybe

you know less than that secondly if

you’re doing a lot of vegetables and

you’re not used to it

that can bind you up because you don’t

have the micro microbes to be able to

handle all that fermentation of all the

fibers in which case you have to steam

the vegetables have a little less like

zucchini is good cauliflower broccoli

things like that maybe a little

fermented vegetables and maybe not the

volume that I consume until you can get

used to it because that because those

soluble fibers that are supposed to be

eaten by the microbes they retain fluid

so you’ve got this

this fluid thing talking about me again

behind your back that’s good necessarily

you just had this conversation yesterday

because I love arugula and I love a big

bowl and then sometimes I’m hungry for a

second Bowl but initially I would just

get completely blow

with bubbles and things like that I

couldn’t handle it and it was depressing

but you know I worked my way up but

definitely zucchini cauliflower things

like that are a lot easier especially as

you’re you’re kind of going into this

instead of like jumping in it just has

to do with the microbes that are not

there yet so you have to build up to

that I’m growing my my crops yeah grow

your microbes now the next question you

said about dry skin right yeah and nose

lining just dry in general yeah um

that’s really has to do with the healthy

fatty acids that you need to maybe look

at because when you’re doing keto maybe

you need to have some balance of

additional fatty acids like borage oil

or maybe even flax oil things like that

or even some good high-quality krill or

fish oil to get those fatty acids in the

body so the skin is not so dried out

that’s really the main thing now if your

gallbladder is an issue that could be

another reason why you’re not absorbing

those fatty acids alright what’s so

funny why did the chef quit why did the

chef quit yeah what do you mean why did

the chef quit it’s a joke oh why does

just I have no clue because they cut his

celery this is the stop this is I know I

don’t know that was adorable thank you

yeah okay

okay good so thank you for that question

yeah and so let’s go right to Lucy okay

on that note let’s go to Lucy from Los

Angeles you had a question don’t have

Lucy good morning dr. burr thank you for

taking my call I was so excited to be

able to be able to air with you but

anyhow first I want to thank you for all

you do it was amazing I am so glad I

found you but let me give you a little

background oh by myself I am a 40 year

old

agents I’m five feet tall and I have my

kidney transplant four years ago due to

the polycystic kidney disease and three

years ago I have both of my disease

kidney removed I am doing well I’m

currently taking portals genetics for

generic for the program and also in

ticket beer and I’m also taking a

multivitamin women’s multivitamins were

highly complex and the high potency

time-release capsule would omega-3 fish

oil on a daily basis so I have been on

is for three months and then luckily I

found you so I start doing the keto and

so I’m on keto and in a minute fasting

for eight days now

not feeling hungry at all no craving I

have three meals a day I have been

eating ten cups of vegetable or salad

per day anyway oh my yeah Michael is to

lose my belly fat and be healthy and

have more energy I am a adrenal body

type I took your test and I brought you

a book and I have been watching and

following your informative video for

some times now I have two questions for

you first question is as a kidney

transplantation is Kido and intermittent

fasting say for me to continue as a

lifestyle

even after I reach my goal my first

questions my second question is I do lab

work often on on the regular basis in

order for my doctor and I started

healing immediate fasting and my doctor

told me my urine is very siddik saw my

keto diet or hints that ketones

that would cause kind of false positive

on the urine protein and Bluffs on the

dis dipstick is that something I need to

worry about you know that you remember

the pH of the year uh you know what I

don’t was it below fire cover with me

was it below fire uh I’m not sure I have

to double check on that okay yeah so and

and I try to purchase your adrenal kit

and they

I cannot take any of those supplement

and said sleepy aged late so is there

anything haha I don’t like my Keaney

Dodgers oh no I yeah so is there

anything you can recommend or because I

understand the I understand the

employment of the cortisol in or Drina

gland and I also understand of gall

bladder tissue because I watch your

video is there anything that you can

recommend for me to walk away around it

I mean I purchase your the the

wheatgrass juice powder it was fabulous

and so so so so those are my questions

okay got it alright so let’s just take

it from the top okay so you had the

kidney you have a you’re in a transplant

you’re on an anti-rejection drug which

is cortisone or cortisone prednisone or

a version of cortisol now so what you

have to do is you have to really just

work on damage control because you’re

gonna have to take that because your

body tends to attack and try to get rid

of that so here’s what you need to do

it’s called colostrum you needed to

start taking colostrum a very small

amount before you go to bed over a long

period of time that that tends to really

keep your immune system really high

and it kind of repair some of the damage

from the prednisone which really kind of

messes everything up the only really

supplement that you shouldn’t take that

I have is the advanced or the adrenal

fatigue formula that’s the only one you

can’t take I mean no the other ones are

fine they’re not going to be a problem

they’re not going to interfere with your

cortisol but I think the seek help would

be important the wheatgrass juice would

be important and probably even the

cruciferous food because that’ll

actually start cleaning the liver and

the kidney you’re doing the exact right

thing with the ketone and then fasting

to help your kidneys survive because

what it’s going to do for the immune

system when you get in the toffee and

start cleaning up all them old

stuff and repairing the the selves and

keeping your insulin regulated which by

the way is one of the biggest problems

with the kidney is the high insulin so

you’re doing the exact thing to protect

the kidney the new kidney that you have

so I think you’re right on track with

that and you did mention you’re taking a

high potency something just make sure

you don’t take some tonic vitamins so

it’s a lot of the high potency has

synthetic vitamins but as far as the

acidic urine goes you know why don’t you

get some bottled high quality water from

a spring that has a high pH to kind of

counter that and maybe take some take

some little electrolyte mix that I have

which is very alkaline to kind of chill

it out because when you go through a

tough in a minute fasting your pH will

become slightly more acidic and you know

maybe a problem may not but if it’s five

that’s still fine because that’s within

the normal range but if it drops down

the four well that’s a problem so you

might need to alkalize your body with

more more vegetables or more alkaline

minerals okay but really good questions

thanks Lucy alright Karen I turn yeah

you turn okay good

so Cindy on facebook is asking about leg

cramps she’s doing keto and she got leg

cramps I think you know something about

leg cramps oh I wonder if I have she

done that I wonder if it’s a cheat sheet

on there there chichi yes there is it’s

called a keto adaptation remedy card you

can download there’s a link down below

yes yeah and you need potassium and in

some cases even some calcium how would

she know the difference I would say the

most common was the potassium one

because when you do intimate fasting in

ketosis like your body sucks a lot of

that potassium so that’s like the first

one that you I would try and that should

Hamlet but if it doesn’t you got to back

up and to get potassium that’s leafy

greens but also the electrolyte formula

is loaded yeah a thousand I drink that

stuff every day her yeah per serving

size serving okay good another hormone

replacement what are your thoughts in 30

seconds realize

well I always like to recommend to

support the gland that makes the hormone

versus jump to start adding hormones

again I’m not telling you not to take

any drugs or anything like that I’m just

saying that when you take hormone

replacement it comes with a package

cause your own glands to not have to

produce so the question is why do you

normal replacement in the first place

what hormone are you trying to replace

what which one is down if it’s if it’s

growth hormone well it’s here here’s

what you do

that’s anti aging you can do in a minute

fasting that’ll spike it like crazy

doing exercise specially sprinting and

going on a low-carb diet

that’ll just like bring hormones back up

if you’re low in testosterone just lower

your insulin and it’ll come right back

up so again I’m not crazy about jumping

right into it but I have a lot of videos

on on what you should do with you know

your hormones depending on what you’re

trying to increase so just search out

the videos in estrogen at this if you

want to increase more estrogen boron is

the mineral that you need to take no

we’re not the boron story no we’re not

gonna

maybe later people we have a really good

boron story in the future so watch every

week maybe yeah and by the way abide by

the bed by the way by the bar by the Y

after this show I’m gonna be doing a I’m

gonna do another Q a live with everyone

on the membership side and also the keto

coach program I just released all those

guys - I have a whole course which is

awesome if you want to be a keto coach

and intermittent fasting coach boom you

need to do that course it’s it’s

incredible and then after that we’re

gonna do alive with all the Facebook lab

people people so stay tuned for that

hello brat that’s coming right up okay

opportunity you didn’t say that I think

they would appreciate me calling a lab

rat an experiment it’s a human no not an

experiment

okay anyway move along from that

but I wanted to bring something up it’s

not a question but I think people are

trying to solve this with the concept of

plateauing when they’re on keto and

intermittent fasting because I myself

had this happen and I came to a

realization and also with the creation

of this new app macros app that’s being

created which is not out yet it’s coming

just coming but my point is there’s been

a lot of realizations on how much fat is

enough fat or too much fat on keto

because I myself had the misconception

and misunderstanding about that I

thought it was you know high fat then a

little bit of protein and really super

low carbs or no carbs so I felt quite

free in fat consumption and I had a

realization dr. Burke oh you did I did

what was that then I was just eating too

much fat Wow and you know the teaspoons

the nut butter or the extra keto bombs

and things like that were actually

preventing me from losing the weight

that I wanted to lose so I cut that out

another seven pounds gone right so and

this is after yeah I was I was working

out and I was building muscle and I was

shrinking in size which was great but it

was handling that fat intake yeah and

there’s a couple points about that I

want to chime in

number one you might be an in ketosis

but the ketones that you’re burning are

the dietary fat not your own fat reserve

okay that’s number one number two when

we say ketones ketosis is a high-fat

diet because it’s 75% of the total

calories you really got to understand

that one gram of fat has more than

double the calories of carbs in protein

so that 70 is really kind of like

misleading and especially if your

metabolism is 70 what was 70% of the

total calories on that pie chart

that is in this book Karen that I need

to get you to read that one of these

days here I know I was saying that for

the benefit of the viewers okay

certainly I knew yeah this thing right

here see this Karen right there can you

see that you’re in another room as far

as anyone elses okay so see that that

big blue thing right here in my mind’s

eye I see yes look look 70% is God so

that uh that seems like oh my gosh it’s

a - well really can you can eat up that

that fat that fat limit really fast

night if you’re 18 years old maybe fast

metabolism or you’re not trying to lose

weight you know what you can go up with

the fat you can go up with the fat we’re

gonna release an app it’s going to help

a lot of people and but it’s it’s a

little hard it’s a little bit difficult

to put people into this one bucket

because you have intimate fasting you

got one meal to meal three meals then

you have a person’s ability to digest

food

their metabolism their age their height

I mean there’s a lot of little factors

here so trying to make it just simple so

you’re not like counting calories but

you do have some guidelines okay with

that said I’m gonna go right to

Christina from Texas she’s been waiting

for 36 minutes and 13 seconds go ahead

Christina thank you for taking my call

doctor

sure um I’m 49 I have ehlers-danlos

syndrome syndrome ehlers-danlos syndrome

type classic type ones the connective

tissue disorder okay

collagen defective collagen okay I also

have nap cell activation disorder and I

have a mild form of congenital adrenal

hyperplasia 11 beta hydroxylase

deficiency you know I was diagnosed with

that for my two of my children went

through precocious puberty and I myself

that I don’t require treatment I think

my eleven deoxy cortisol was maybe like

ninety or something I wasn’t really

super elevated but I

you have a adrenal issue and I’ve had

really severe inflammation so past few

years and I kind of attributed to to all

of those disorders and about four weeks

ago I came across one of your videos and

I realized that I was insulin resistant

I immediately started the keto

intermittent fasting

I’ve lost 33 pounds Wow right

practically gone I feel amazing but two

weeks ago I went to the neurologist

because I do have a small brain aneurysm

was three millimeters and now it is four

by two millimeter and by lobed and I

think it probably grew because of the

inflammation it was so severe and they

were doing stuff like that I’m just

wondering if there’s anything I can do

to maybe stabilize it or you know I

don’t know possibly reverse those things

good question one question I have for

you do you did your inflammation go down

when you started this yeah like good

burst nation away it was crazy

okay that’s awesome okay so here’s a

couple of things and aneurism is the

weakness within the the wall of the

vessel the blood vessel okay so we have

this bulging of the it’s a connective

tissue you have a connective tissue

disorder there’s things that you can do

to at least improve it and one thing is

a lot of these the lining on the on the

walls are disrupted and destroyed yes

genetically but also from insulin

resistance so there there’s a couple

things that protect the arteries against

the damage from high sugar and high

insulin and that would bottom b1 and

vitamin C so if you can go up with your

vitamin C foods a lot of leafy greens

about peppers different peppers so keep

your vitamin C really really high

because vitamin C is essential for

collagen stability and also take the

nutritional yeast in higher amounts

those two will actually kind of protect

the arteries from damage

and strengthen the wall of the artery

the other thing is that because you’re

on keto and in fasting you’re gonna

lower your risk for clotting

that’s number that’s a good one and then

in a minute fasting really help it’s an

anti-aging secret it’ll help the

proteins

it’ll help strengthen your proteins

it’ll make your arteries more elastic

it makes your arteries younger I think

that’s going to be the biggest tool for

you is in a minute of fasting so if you

can get to a point where you’re eating

one once a day I think it’s gonna really

help you a lot with your aneurysms okay

thanks Christina all right Karen oh you

know what Karen what I forgot to ask the

questions I have three questions yeah so

here’s the first question okay what is

the absolute best healthiest snack when

you’re doing in a minute fasting okay so

go ahead and answer the question here go

ahead answer this right now and we’re

gonna we’re gonna look at that after and

I have another question one very patient

gal I’m assuming here is asking this

question about keto and intermittent

fasting if you’re trying to get pregnant

or if you’re already pregnant and people

guess what

dr. Burke’s gonna be a grandpa is that

awesome

oh yeah of course we’re not gonna talk

about the fact that I’m gonna be a

grandma yeah we won’t talk about that

we’re not gonna talk about that yeah but

so this is a conversation in our home

right so keto and pregnancy it’s your

turn to talk now okay so here’s the

thing when you’re going through

pregnancy which I have a lot of

experience right and also giving birth

because I know how that could feel right

because one time I had a like a really

you know severe kidney stone a long time

ago now basically it’s you need to do

keto healthy keto not regular

traditional keto but a healthy ketosis

like I’m talking about because that’s

going to provide all the all the

nutrients

for this growing growing fetus and it’s

gonna develop same thing with

breastfeeding okay that’s that’s but

when you’re doing in a minute fasting I

wouldn’t I wouldn’t start doing a lot of

in a minute fasting when you’re either

pregnant or breastfeeding just because

there’s there’s too many things that are

going on but I would definitely do a

mild version of in a minute fasting what

you’re doing three meals no snacks

that’s what I would do and just make

sure those meals are really robust Karen

make sure that those meals are very

fortified with super healthy like the

eggs and organic respite meets all those

fats are gonna really help you the

challenge with most people most women

who are getting pregnant is the trace

mineral so I would highly recommend

getting a good plant-based trace

minerals so that baby comes out with was

really good teeth now when when you

deliver you really need a new breast

feed breast feeding that’s an essential

thing because guess what you’re gonna

put that infant into ketosis breast

feeding is so much healthy fat that the

child goes right into Keita ketotic

state which is healthy so if you were

breastfed guess what you started out in

ketosis and then of course we go right

into glycolysis which is a sugar state

which is terrible but our bodies really

were meant to run on ketones so the

hardest thing to get when you’re

pregnant is the trace minerals and then

maybe you know the B vitamins so B

vitamins ah so you need the Brucie’s you

can make cookies out of them keto

friendly cookies or nutritional yeast

it’s almost similar and you actually

have higher quality breast milk as well

when you do that okay

I’ll remember that just remember that

okay good now and by the way a lot of

people are saying congratulations okay

great it’s very nice thank you very much

and we’re gonna let some people are

brilliant here answer just another

minute on the what snack is the best

snack but I have

another point we see a lot on the lab on

the dr. Berg keto Wyeth lab this concept

of dry fasting can you please address

this well here’s the thing

honestly I don’t have a tremendously and

I’m talking to our producer yeah

the thing with the thing I don’t have a

tremendous amount of data I can’t find a

lot of research on dry fasting there’s

just not a lot of data out there so for

that that being said I’m not going to

even comment on it because I don’t have

I’m not the guy to come to for an

opinion because I don’t have the

experience in doing that so you don’t

forward it yeah I’m not going to forward

it I’m not gonna say not to do it

because I don’t have enough data I’m

only going to tell you what I’ve

experienced in and I just don’t I can’t

even have a comment on it because I

don’t really have enough research into

that ok I have an opinion on it I’m sure

you do yeah you keep it to yourself ok

yeah how about some answers here you

ready yeah I’m ready

ok there were just a couple of people

with suggestions like celery or an

avocado all really good foods pork rinds

mm-hmm but most people yeah are saying

well one guy said oxygen which I thought

was great ok no snacking nothing really

yes a lot of great sarcastic comments

about it being gluttonous to snack if

you’re on keto and different things like

that these guys must have been listening

to you Wow okay do we have a drumroll

please

the answer is there is no healthy snack

yeah you guys are so I’m like Hello yeah

because this is the problem snacking is

like oh my gosh it’s it’s so bad you go

to the grocery store you got lines of

all the protein bars and the trail mixes

and that so-called healthy snacks the

jerky listen you’re gonna increase

insulin if you do that so snacking is

very very very very very bad in fact if

you want to stay fat

just keep snacking even if it’s healthy

food the thing that I omitted from my my

diet which is basically all I did I took

out the apples and peanut butter and the

nuts at night and I went from 211 down

to 210 now 211 down to 185 and really

rapidly that was I just kept I didn’t

change anything else

so the snacking is the killer and but

our whole society is based on these

snacking I mean like it’s constantly

eating eating eating to prevent hunger

so you don’t over eat eating to

stimulate your metabolism this is all

bogus

what’s happening now is the food

industry is really jumping on this and

just pushing the healthy snacks and

people are buying more it’s gonna in

2020 Karen it’s gonna be a six hundred

and thirty billion dollar business

healthy snacks so if you want to snack

just push it to the meal right okay end

a story and that’s all I’m gonna say

yeah all our recipes the ideas and to

have the tie in the middle of day right

it’s to have a taste which Deborah just

asked when is cabbies coming so I’m just

gonna let you guys know that we are

actually doing another run we tweet some

things and we’re doing another run now

in May yeah so stay tuned stay tuned I’m

excited about yeah now Jason’s been on

hold for 44 minutes and 14 seconds so

Jason you had a question you’re from

Kansas City go ahead I don’t actor Barry

thanks for having yeah sure my question

is I’m an extra key dough for eight

months

recently a little over a month ago I

started experimenting

Kito carnivore mm-hmm basically just

eating meat meat butter ghee pink

Himalayan salt or red nose real salt

pretty much all that I been eating and I

noticed it upside right away within a

couple days after eliminating a whole

vegetables from my diet my question is

can I get all the vitamins minerals and

nutrients I need by eating basically a

meat ketosis I’ll type diet if I if I

use like organ meat once or twice a week

that’s a really good question I’ll have

to do a video on that and analyze that

but you I think it’s possible I think

some people can do that but to get the

vitamins you’re probably going to have

to consume some organ meats in there

because just the muscle does not have

near the nutrients like a liver or

kidney or brain so that’s one thing but

there’s a trick there’s actually more

vitamins and minerals and organ meat

than there is in vegetables now so it’s

it’s something that’s new some people

are trying it I have not tried it myself

the other thing that would look at is

that when you’re consuming when you’re

actually in ketosis and you’re dumping

all this path of the liver sometimes

it’s really important to have some of

the fibrous type things to kind of flesh

out that fat so you don’t end up with a

fatty liver the other point I want to

bring up is getting your phytonutrients

phytonutrients are the plant-based

nutrients those are like the additional

nutrients that don’t really come from

meat and they’re they’re extra give

extra health benefits they’re not

essential but they’re good for a lot of

things so if you feel better and you

monitor things and you probably list it

all the foods and try to analyze your

the requirements and if you can get your

requirements each day go for it and if

it helps you I just haven’t had enough

experience yet it’s a new thing so let

us know how you do

thanks Jason but then what about

potassium

well there’s Morgan me yeah you do have

potassium and organ meats and meat you

have like even from like six ounces

you’ll get 300 milligrams hmm but the

here’s the problem the enzymes your body

can make enzymes and plus you can have

rare meat okay but here’s the thing

let’s say you have it might be difficult

not to overdo it with the protein

because as soon as you start doing if

you start adding more and more protein

you can spike insulin and now we’re into

a Atkins diet right so and that’s hard

on the liver right it can be yeah

because you’re doing way too much and

because you you can only like break

absorb like 30 35 grams of protein per

sitting so if you do too much but here’s

the thing you know some people can get

away with it some people can do it like

just when you think like wow this is

gonna really be bad all sudden they do

do better so it’s something to

experiment and see if you can pull it

off okay so now we need to I need to ask

you another question before I go to

Colleen okay okay

okay so here’s question number two guys

and what does it mean if you have cracks

in the corner of your mouth

what are you deficient in okay got a

little red crack what does that mean

it’s really painful yes okay so let us

know and then I’m gonna go right to

Colleen Robin she’s from Alberta Canada

go ahead Colleen good morning thanks for

taking my call and hello Aaron long time

no see hi hi I forgot to mention to your

rep who answered the phone that I just

had one other thing to ask and can I get

your electrolytes and you nutritional

yeast from Amazon because I can’t find

it but I found the raw wheat grass there

because I’m out of my you’re not yeah

that’s my empty bottle electrolyte and

I’ve got yeah I got nothing in my

vitamin B’s so I mean it

get that off Amazon you know we’re

working on going to Canada right now

we’re actually as we speak we’re really

aggressively working on that because

they have a lot of clients from Canada

I don’t think Amazon goes to Canada

right now but yeah we got our

fulfillment dr. Burke comm the evidence

she’s asked Amazon so your wheatgrass is

on Amazon because I saw it yeah I’m not

sure if it ships to Canada that’s the

only thing but but I’ll dr. Berger calm

it down yeah I know yeah no problem

okay I would mention to you when I

talked to last a couple weeks ago that I

went off of the synthroid like I didn’t

refill it yeah after you know of it for

over a month my TSH is normal and he

wants me to have progressive recheck

every three months Wow Mike Flynn on

March 29th was sixty three point seven

according to the labs should be less

than 120 and that’s so he said if you

don’t like if it’s working for you yeah

stay on it well I’m not doing great on

the weight because I’m still like you

say if you diva if you do ten percent

you still benefit but I want to do a

hundred percent so I’ll get to it

eventually

yeah oh no anyway does that sound like

I’m not insulin resistant to fit sixty

three point seven

I think you’re going in the garand a

great direction I think you do it you’re

improving greatly

okay perfect now Karen and you what how

many carbohydrates are in that fabulous

bread that I make that you guys made on

YouTube if you just it’s meant not to

have the whole loaf so if you have just

a little piece and then I think if I’m

not mistaken we did list the carbs if

I’m not mistaken I’ll double-check that

so you could find out the carbs yeah I

don’t know but keep in mind it’s it’s

some nuts but then it’s things like chia

and seeds and stuff like that so you’re

not dealing with any kind of wheat so

yeah it’s not right yeah okay that’s

that’s perfect I think you’ve answered

all my questions

great thanks Colleen thank you

appreciate you know checking with you on

frightened X Friday okay great see ya

thanks okay Karen what do we got for the

answer okay so we have a lot of B

vitamins b1 b2

to some a trace minerals enough mostly

Facebook YouTube people are off on to
