hi guys I know the question about will

ketosis harm and the kid needs okay when

I hear that it’s almost like I want to

just withhold the laughter because take

a look at something if you have high

insulin high blood sugar you’re a

diabetic or pre-diabetic there are four

areas of your body that get destroyed

number one that kidneys okay so high

insulin and high sugar target the

kidneys as an area of destruction okay

it’ll destroy the brain the nerves the

arteries and the retina and your eye so

what does the ketosis diet do it lowers

insulin it lowers blood sugars so

anything that lowers insulin or blood

sugars is going to help the kidney and

the type of ketogenic diet that I

recommend which is a healthy version is

consuming all lots of greens which will

give you the potassium which protects

the kidney now if the kidney is in a

stage 4 or whatever like an end stage

renal failure it lost a control and your

potassium can go high in which case you

don’t want to add any potassium okay but

we’re not talking about that situation

that is a rare situation we’re talking

about all the conditions that occur

before that okay and you need potassium

to actually help the kidneys you need

vegetables to do that so the hallmark of

the ketogenic diet is a low carb diet

low carbs reduce insulin reduce blood

sugars the ketogenic diet is not a high

protein diet ok the Atkins is but the

ketogenic diet is a moderate protein

diet it will not harm your kidneys okay

and then if we add in a minute fasting

on top of that that’s putting the icing

on the cake well maybe I shouldn’t talk

about icing on cake right now

but that will help the kidneys even more

so the combination is very powerful to

heal your kidneys not damage them thanks
