welcome back everyone

we here we’re here for another q a and

if you have questions just jump on

social media we have people in the green

one room that are ready to ask questions

as well i just i tell you there’s one

thing steve that i

just don’t like when you watch videos

and of course i’m doing it now is this

long introduction where you’re

don’t forget to subscribe and smash that

like button in fact uh if someone’s

gonna subscribe they’re just gonna do it

in fact i think every time you remind

them they probably won’t do it so i

don’t like to say that but i will say um

anything they say is not meant to

diagnose or replace your medical care

check with your doctor before

you know doing anything

anything at all because that’s just the

rules so

that’s we’re gonna go by so let’s dive

right in steve okay well having said

that dr berg told me that if i didn’t

subscribe i’m fired so i immediately

subscribe but for the rest of you um you

know he’s very genteel and knows that

she’ll come to build it and they will

come and that’s what’s happened because

there’s what half of what five million

six million subscribers now

uh almost eight

million subscribers steve okay well i

know you didn’t say please subscribe

eight million times so that’s proof so

it’s wonderful okay so let’s get right

to it you know uh we’ve got ella who uh

is from memphis and she’s so pretty but

we couldn’t get her camera working so

ella why don’t you come on as a phone

call and talk to dr byrd

hi dr berg

how are you today

i see her spinning her uh

her thing is spinning so i don’t know if

she’s

having a

good connection or not so see well let

me tell you well let’s uh sort of put

her on hold and let’s go right to social

media

and uh terry has been working very hard

to

oh by the way are you unmuted on all

those doc just to make sure you don’t

have any of those things muted

um i don’t have anything muted all i

hear is a little duck in the background

oh interesting okay well let’s see let’s

go to social media so

nola from youtube could you please

discuss the best makeup for sensitive

skin

well um

of course i’m an expert in that right um

now i i i would just honestly um you’re

gonna have to just find something that

is

from ingredients that you can pronounce

from food-based ingredients because all

the chemicals i would avoid things that

involve mineral oil

i would involve i would avoid things

that have alcohol

and just try to find something with

essential oils but as far as makeup goes

that’s a whole different thing i know

they have

various dyes and things you’ve got to be

careful about

is something really cool that

um we are going to be releasing not soon

but uh

probably a month or two um with a a

probiotic that you put on your face but

um that’s not makeup so um i guess i’m

not really qualified to answer the

question because i haven’t researched

that so

i know

karen uses these non-toxic

um brands but i don’t have them handy

right now

all right well certainly not all right

ladies well we hope you can come to

understanding there let’s see uh chrissy

this time from youtube after extended

fast of up to a week what should we eat

first to continue our weight loss

well you got to make sure if you’re

doing a prolonged fast you better go

real gradually into eating don’t make

the mistake i made and have this big big

dinner

you want to just have maybe

i would say

um

maybe a little vegetable maybe a little

sauerkraut

half an egg

wait

for an hour

have like maybe a little avocado a

little nut

some nuts and just wait for a bit so you

want to gradually kind of go into it and

then probably

the second day have a little bigger meal

and the third day you have a big meal so

you have to gradually go into it because

your system is adapted to not eating and

uh you can overload the system and what

you don’t want to have is anything sweet

or sugary at all so if you’re doing

intermittent fasting and you’re not

doing keto

and you do prolong fasting it’s

dangerous to have carbs uh because

you’re gonna you’re gonna

mess with your potassium and the

potassium is gonna create a huge shift

because

when you eat carbs

there’s a

especially sugar the

potassium

actually

comes out of the cell or actually out of

the blood into the cell so you end up

with a

very low potassium it’s called

hypokalemia it could be dangerous so um

that’s why i don’t recommend carbs but

of course if you’re watching you’re on

keto so you don’t have to worry about

them

no absolutely they’re safe from that

okay dr berg why don’t we kick it off

with one of our first great quiz

questions here’s a true falseer

all right let me just pull this up steve

and the answer is true false one kilo

of spirulina

contains the nutritional value of a

thousand kilos

of

assorted vegetables

well that’s a value all right audience

get on to that and let me see uh if we

can bring

uh i’m gonna try virginia she’s a she is

a

continued guest and really familiar with

the routine

virginia you’re on with dr berg

oh you’re muted uh i think she is she

muted

can you hear us virginia oh there you go

are you are you talking to me yes yes

you’re on without sorry i cannot hear

anybody but you

i apologize okay that’s all right but

you can hear dr byrd come on right now

yes you are yes can you hear it

yes

i can you doctor but i don’t hear

steve or host or anybody else oh okay my

bedtime is good

but in the morning it’s in the early

hundreds

and i’m having serious

ir going on so i’m really trying to but

my biggest concern is that 11 months

that i’ve been doing your regimen

healthy keto doing great loss over 50

but what i don’t understand is that why

is it now that i’m having such a hard

time doing the 48 hour 72 hour fast two

weeks ago i was trying to do that you

told me to add some salt and that really

worked great

but

i’m i’m having thinking

going on of wanting to have a big lemony

juicy salad

why is it that i’m having this

this block i want to be able to do

intermittent fasting a prolonged one but

i can’t and the reason why i want to do

that because of the ir because of my

psoriasis

and i just want to be able to have a

better sleep

got it are you craving um lemon did you

say

lemon and salt

okay so so you need choline choline

choline if you crave a lemon that means

you’re deficient in choline

where do i get that from you can just

get it at the uh uh

find it online or it’s a supplement but

choline is a unique um nutrient that is

actually lemony and you can even suck on

them as a lemon drop

even on the fasting and you’ll and

you’ll be they’ll be like probably candy

to you but there’s they’re not sweet but

they’re lemony

and the the um

your body must be wanting something in

that uh

that tart but the lemon um choline

actually can help strip fat off the

liver

and it’s good for a lot of things

especially your brain

brain function

and then i’m thinking that

you’re taking the salt which is good and

i’m guessing you’re also doing the

potassium magnesium from the

electrolytes twice a day i do the

electrolytes and as a matter of fact i’m

using weeds that have high amount of uh

sourness like purslane grape leaves i

chop those up in my salads

fantastic

um okay so the other other thing that

you could try when you eat

is um shift to more

robotic foods like

the sauerkraut kimchi

i don’t know if you live close to a

farmer’s market but

yes usually the farmers market they

usually someone’s selling some fresh

homemade kimchi or or sauerkraut that’s

just

so much different than the stuff you get

at the store and

boy does that

handle a lot of problems

especially when you’re doing even

long-term fasting too if you have that

as your you know part of your meal

on a regular basis

that might might solve your problem so

then your microbes are actually making

nutrients too your microbes actually can

even i’ve i’ve read something they can

even make omega-3 fatty acids they they

definitely make the b vitamins um

i’m going to be diving more into that

but that’s that’s what i would do

my own ferment costco has the greatest

sauerkraut

great yeah so i do that every day and

okay choline choline that’s the one you

need

it’s a supplement and you just it’s a

it’s kind of a quasi-b vitamin so you

can suck on it um a few several through

the day and and then come back on and

tell me if that didn’t solve your

problem okay everything you’ve told me

has worked so i will try this one

wonderful

well thank you uh virginia for joining

us again it’s always a great pleasure

and virginia you’ll now be able to see

what the audience thought of our first

question and this was a true falsehood

and it asked one or it

asking one kilo of spirulina contains

the nutritional value of a thousand

kilos of assorted vegetables boy that’s

a lot uh 65 of our respondents say it’s

true and 35 say it’s false winner please

you know apparently nassau did this

study and it’s true and that’s uh

i mean i just find that hard to believe

myself but um that’s what i um found in

one of the studies that i’m going to be

putting down below

which is fascinating because

when i read that

of course i changed my formula my veggie

solution because i of course now i have

to have spirulina because that’s the

best so that’s a combination of

spirulina with moringa

uh in that veggie solution especially

for people that for some weird reason

[Music]

you know people don’t consume enough

vegetables they don’t like them as much

they don’t consume as much they have a

hard time consuming 10 cups a day i

don’t know why steve but

i know you and i do this on a regular

basis but we’re probably the only ones

well i tell you what i have uh watched

dr berg eat his lunchtime salad and i

mean it’s a commitment because there’s a

lot of green stuff going there and i’m

over in the corner with my hot fudge

sundae looking on shamefully but he just

sticks i have no idea i don’t know why

it’s so hard but uh

uh do what you can you know but it’s

kind of a spirulina is a

it’s just an interesting it’s it’s it’s

not a plant-based

compound steve it’s a

micro

it’s a bacteria it’s a type of bacteria

that’s extremely efficient at turning

sunlight energy into chemical energy and

it’s the first

one of the first things on this planet

that produce oxygen so um

[Music]

yes it’s pond scum but

if uh

if if grown correctly in a healthy lake

it’s actually quite healthy it has um

even all the essential amino acids

b12 it’s a pretty interesting

product wonderful all kidding aside i

have followed lots of dr berg’s

recommendations and i am all the better

for it why don’t we uh talk about who’s

listening to the show and we do have one

uh nice person

lebanon we’re not going to bring you on

right now sir but he’s from the canary

islands in addition to him

we have people in the uk canada jordan

pakistan south africa greece algeria

france italy denmark japan

india belgium oops i lost my place there

the philippines

grenada mexico morocco germany saudi

arabia

sweden chile the

kenya the czech republic ghana norway

bahamas croatia australia ireland taiwan

hong kong

welcome hong kong switzerland romania

portugal dubai poland good grief south

korea macedonia jamaica and all across

these wonderful united states they’re

all represented there so thank you

everybody for participating in the show

and doctor why don’t we kick off with

the next question so we can get to all

of them there it is

okay

all right what is the first symptom

of high iron levels in the body

all right folks dig into that i cannot

believe uh the audience is so fast at

these things i don’t know how they do

their research again they must be

watching your videos

i think so listen let’s try um if we can

get scott on the air with you scott is

unmuting himself and you sir are on with

dr byrd

thank you for having me on the show dr

berg i

had a question about uh lemons you you

talk about the the value of lemons in a

lot of your videos and living here in

the sonoran desert were able to grow

citrus trees and i happened to have a

lime tree in my backyard and i was just

wondering if limes have the same or

similar benefits that lemons do in the

keto diet

hey that’s great i see that you’re right

in your backyard i think it’s great um

limes are almost like almost identical

to lemons as far as the nutrition and

the compounds uh there’s just some

slight different um phytonutrients but

yeah they’re they’re gonna work the same

i know i don’t talk about limes but um

i would i would use the limes just as

much as you use the lemons absolutely um

so

so you’re in the desert where the

climate is probably real nice to grow

these things i i wish i could grow some

limes or lemons in my

part of the country but they just won’t

grow

wow yeah they’re very plentiful and i

almost have them year-round so it’s wow

i’d like to have a really good use for

them and now i do

hey that’s great thanks for

chiming in scott that’s great and by the

way i just put a full uh screen of scott

up i want you to see where he is there

you can see that lovely cactus

beautiful background

i know he’s living large out there in

arizona so thank you so much scott for

getting together with us and and give us

a shout back and let us know how it’s

going for you

okay let’s see uh where are we let’s

make sure that we are taking care of all

of our social media friends and terry’s

our producer has been typing furiously

debbie from youtube how do you feel

about a super beat

products i am a diabetic but i am

keeping it under control

there’s some benefits to the beat

there are some benefits uh

nitric oxide and which is good for your

vascular system

but if you’re diabetic and you’re doing

beet

juice you can powder without the fiber

you you may see a blood sugar problem

with that now i’m not saying that

that’s gonna be a problem with with

creating more

issues it just might raise your blood

sugar but the all the phytonutrients

there

counter some of the the complications

from diabetes

versus some refined sugar but um

you know think about how they make sugar

in the us the majority of the sugar in

the us comes from beets

so

of course it’s gmo

but um

because like 95 of all the beets are gmo

but

i if you’re a diabetic i probably would

use a different supplement um to solve

your problem with whatever you’re trying

to solve because it you know beet juice

powder is just really really sweet the

same thing with carrot juice i don’t

recommend that

at all in fact i used to do a lot of it

and it definitely can

mess with your blood sugars

all righty let’s go over to facebook

anna uh it was mentioned that you

advocate eating cruciferous vegetables

but it doesn’t appear good for someone

with sibo if i’m saying that right what

do you suggest for someone to get

nutritional benefits of cruciferous

vegetables with that condition

when someone is sibo they have bacteria

in the wrong place it’s in the small

intestine it should be in the large

intestine so um

the reason you don’t want that is

because the microbes now um compete for

your nutrients and you get a lot of

bloating and so what you don’t want to

be taking is another probiotic or take

fiber or eating a lot of vegetables

because that’s going to

ferment at the wrong place

and you’re going to feel all gassed out

so what you want to do is take um

uh probably not do a lot of vegetables

for a while you’ll be maybe a carnivore

for a month or so and then do betaine

hydrochloride to acidify the stomach

and maybe some natural

antibiotics like garlic and oregano

all right that’s terrific thank you doc

for that and let’s see oh we’ve got the

answers i told you they’re very quick

and you asked the audience what is the

first symptom of high iron levels

in the body

and 65 excuse me

35 of respondents say joint pain 30 say

dark or black steels 30 say fatigue or

dizziness and finally 5 say headaches

well um the answer is

arthritis

and especially

in this knuckle right here the first uh

knuckle

uh on your hands and then it’s maybe the

second knuckle and your knees

apparently that’s kind of one of the

first symptoms to happen when you have

too much iron

and the problem with iron is that we

have a hard time getting rid of iron in

our bodies so

um

it’s easy to accumulate it even when

women go through menopause when they

stop menstruating

they can have this iron problem either

from a genetic problem or just consuming

too much iron this is why i’m very much

against the iron supplements

the one a days that are synthetic

not good yes a lot of people have a

deficiency of iron but uh don’t start

loading up with iron because there’s a

couple minerals that your body has no

mechanism to get rid of it if you have

too much and it can be very

toxic it feeds microbes

so

i released a video on that um it might

have been even today steve

so

if you haven’t if you want more

information about that just watch the

video that i released today i yeah i did

release the video today

so it just tells it tells me how many

people are really watching my video

steve yeah more is not always better huh

okay so uh amrita from youtube what can

we do to reverse cirrhosis or maybe help

a bum liver

tocotrinols

it’s a type of vitamin e that helps to

break down

scar tissue and toccotrinos will reduce

fibrosis

and of course eliminating the things

that are creating in the first place

like

getting on a diet that doesn’t have a

lot of oxidants like too much sugar and

fructose and

omega 6 fatty acids

and vegetable oils get off that stuff

get on a healthy keto and then and then

prolong fasting here and there we’ll

start to um

create a autophagy which is the

recycling of proteins and

damaged proteins in your body

even like the scar tissue so i think

there is a point of

no return but hopefully you’re not at

that point where you can do something

about it

wonderful okay let’s go back to facebook

what is the cause of pernicious anemia

it’s from sarah well b12

but um

but it’s usually an autoimmune disease

okay

it’s not usually it’s always an

autoimmune disease of the cells

that

there’s a cells in your stomach that you

could become deficient in it’s called

intrinsic factor

that you need to help overcome

overcompensate for that but there’s a

little autoimmune i’m trying to explain

this in a simple way without giving a

lot of big words but there’s something

in your stomach that is blocking the

absorption of b12 normally it should

receive it but there’s an autoimmune

situation going on that blocks that

absorption so one little

trick you can do

to overcompensate for this

without giving you a lot of details

would be a standard process

product and um

if you take a standard process product i

think it’s their b12

as the intrinsic factor in there and it

might be

and

that might be a way to overcome

pernicious anemia so just look up search

out

b12 with

standard process products i i do

recommend some of the products over i’m

not affiliated with them anymore but

they do have some pretty good products

wonderful well here’s someone that’s

obviously committed her name is keto

sista as her handle on youtube

and she’s been on healthy keto for eight

months now but my scale shows i’m

heavier but here we go i can now fit

into a size eight dress so she’s getting

tremor yet you know is worried about her

weight

so how can someone

um

shrink

but maybe get heavier how can that be

well

i think what’s happening is that she’s

she’s losing fat

but she’s also gaining more muscle mass

so muscle if you relate muscle to fat in

the same volume there’s different

weights on that so um this is why i

don’t like going by just losing weight

all the time you got to look at your

size are your clothes looser

are you shrinking

that’s the best indicator but even a

better indicator than that it’s working

is that your appetite is gone

that means that you’re converting to fat

and you’re in ketosis

okay very good let’s see if we can get

ella’s voice back on ella if you can

hear me uh you’re on with dr byrd

hi dr burger can you hear me

i guess you can’t ella uh

it’s just spinning unfortunately okay

yeah ask me yes ella ask me your

question and i’ll i’ll let dr berg know

what it is

okay so my question is um

i recently had a baby and um

i tried the healthy keto diet with my

husband

and while my husband lost some weight he

lost about 25 pounds in two months i was

unable to lose not a single pound okay

stand by so ella just had a baby

congratulations and she and her husband

were on the keto diet and he lost a

bunch of weight but she hasn’t seemed to

see the scale come down what can we do

for ella

yes

unfortunately women have a harder time

losing weight than men just because of

the hormone estrogen and you just had a

baby so your estrogen levels are

probably a little higher than they would

be so you’re just going to have to work

harder at it that means you’re going to

have to go lower with the carbohydrates

that means you have to exercise more

so

you have to do a little bit more

intermittent fasting but again if you’re

breastfeeding which hopefully you are

i don’t even want you to do intermittent

fasting i’d prefer you just stick with

keto with just three meals and that way

um

your baby will really benefit from that

tremendously

[Music]

then i would just add more exercise and

and then when you stop breastfeeding

start doing more intermittent fasting

but you right now it’s all about carbs

it’s like keep your carbs way down there

to help you lose the weight but again

um

make sure that your clothes if your

clothes are looser that means it’s

working if your appetite

is goes down that means it’s working

that’s wonderful i hope congratulations

to you and your husband and please

report back to us in whatever month or

so and let us know how it’s going and

thanks for coming onto the air with dr

berg and why don’t we go up with another

quiz question dr berg uh this is another

true false er and here you go

okay true or false 90 of sciatic nerve

pain involves the disc

all right is that true or false audience

i know a lot of you suffer from that uh

so let’s see we go let’s go back to

facebook

yes spin

i have low levels of folate and b12 what

should i do to address these conditions

well i would

consume foods with b12 that would be

animal products red meat you can do

seafood as well

believe it or not spirulina has b12 if

you

uh if you want another source

but then folate is from the vegetables

you can get that from the dark leafy

greens

so i would start beefing up those no pun

intended

and in addition to that nutritional

yeast

normally does not come with b12 so that

probably wouldn’t be your best source

but it would give you some foliate

but let’s say for example

you’re doing that but you’re still

deficient

then what i would do

is i would support

your microbiome because your

microbes can help you make a lot of

these vitamins so it could be

that you’re just deficient in microbes

and you’re not getting any help from

those guys

that’s uh this is why

even people that they lose their hair

and then all of a sudden they take

biotin and they get the hair back

well

one of the reasons why they lost the

hair in the first place is because their

microbes are off they’re not producing

enough biotin and

so i’m that microbiome is just a

fascinating um

topic i’m i’m just so interested in it

for so many different things including

hair loss and including making your b

vitamins and

helping with anxiety and depression so

it’s a really important thing to

consume microbes from fermented food

and

of course i’m doing a deep dive now on

fermenting everything and then testing

it out and then seeing what works best

fantastic okay boy it’s so uh gratifying

to see the chat on youtube fly up past

me and i decided to pick one out of the

group bridget reed i am new to keto and

i am experiencing some constipation how

can i consume enough fiber or whatever

without going over the amount of carbs

i’m supposed to consume

well you do have this thing called net

carbs so you do subtract the fiber

but what i’m going to recommend is you

just beef up your salads

and see if it doesn’t handle it

you also there’s a couple other things

related to this because um

let’s say for example you’re doing

all these keto treats

these keto new

functional fibers that are in all these

keto bars and keto products which i am

totally against

some of these fibers

can knock you out of ketosis okay so

um

so you don’t necessarily just because

something’s a fiber doesn’t mean it’s a

healthy fiber because they’re now making

synthetic fibers

and like the soluble corn

fiber and the tapioca fiber

these are all things that

you know people are deducting them from

the total carbs but in reality

this could be reason why you have all

sorts of issues with keto

so when we’re talking about fiber i

would probably only deduct that from the

vegetable fibers okay that you have from

a salad something like that leafy greens

but i would add more

greens and i would also for constipation

kill two birds with one stone and have

a probiotic with a prebiotic which would

be like sauerkraut

or kimchi

so

if you actually go to the farmer’s

market and get some really good

sauerkraut or make it yourself it is

it’s so different than the store-bought

which is a lot of times even pasta i

mean pasteurized you kill everything

it’s not raw there’s a big difference

between

making it at home versus

buying it because they have to add

different preservatives and stuff that

kill these microbes but

micro i mean

sauerkraut gives a tremendous amount of

probiotics and it does apparently

survive the stomach acid acid so

i am totally um for that

all right so anyway i really do so

appreciate the role uh that women play

in bringing our beautiful children into

the world i thank my lovely wife lori

for our two kids but they pay it seems

like a lifelong

price where us guys don’t and um

as an example gloria from youtube has

been following your advice for a while

but now it’s going through menopause

which is making me gain weight uh how

can you help the millions of women that

go through this doc

there’s a lot to talk about i would say

the main thing that i would do

is do something to support your adrenal

glands

which could be lemon balm tea

ashwagandha b vitamins and then the

other thing is the

take a really good vitamin e uh called

tocotrinos which will support your

your pituitary because now the pituitary

communication to the ovaries is it’s

like it’s it threw the whole thing off

so now we have to support the pituitary

which is usually like a reservoir for

vitamin e

so if

if one problem you have is related to

hot flashes that vitamin e in the form

of tocatrinos would be good um but i

don’t really know of what other problems

you have with menopause is it fatigue

is it um osteopenia i don’t know uh one

additional little tip for that would be

to get some dh d e

dhea okay that’s a precursor it’s a

supplement it’s a precursor to be

making estrogen and progesterone

but you don’t need much you just need a

little bit because if you have too much

then you can make more testosterone and

you don’t want to start getting facial

hair

men would want a little bit more but if

you’re going through menopause that dhea

sometimes can really give you the raw

material that you need to build some of

these other hormones that have tanked

wow okay ladies

thanks again for all you do for us

and our kids and let’s see the the

audiences answered the next true fault

uh true false which asks uh ninety

percent of sciatic nerve pain involves

the diss

and uh seventy percent of the

respondents said no that’s not true

thirty percent say it is true

that’s true it is true and

so

um i’m not saying a disc protrusion i’m

saying it could also be degenerative

disc disease which is just the

flattening of the disc what happens with

sciatica

is that you

lose the curve in your lower back

because the discs

are thinning or

there’s there’s usually always when you

see disc problems whether it’s a

protrusion

a herniation or a

degeneration

you nearly always see this this loss of

the lordosis or the curve in the lower

back

so what does that mean steve with salica

it means that

if you were to put that curve back

you would get relief from sciatica and

that is a video that i just did and i’m

going to release which is a simple thing

to do you get a foam roller support a

big one and you start to

lay

on your back with that pushing up into

the back

um it’s probably not going to be

comfortable at first but what you do is

you’re going to mold

over time that curve in the back and the

key

the secret is time you want to lay on

that

work up to laying on that for about 20

minutes

every night before you go to sleep

versus just five minutes won’t do it so

the longer you do it the more it seems

to mold that curb in there to the point

where you’ll have this curve it gives

you more space for these

these nerves that are pinched and

it’s really good for sciatica

wonderful well having just

talked about the lady and the great

sacrifices they made i forgot about one

but rawad from facebook didn’t he’s 21

and suffering from extreme hair loss for

a year now i’m not on keto and have not

taken any supplements during this time

what can we do to help reward well

well you just want to ask yourself with

any of these symptoms when did it

exactly start

and what happened

exactly just before you started losing

hair was it a stress situation if it was

then you addressed adrenals

if it was a change in diet

you

go back to what you did but i’m going to

just recommend you do keto because um

and the healthy version of it that way

you’ll normally get the

the trace minerals that are necessary

for growing hair you’ll get enough

quality protein

and b vitamins those are the three

things that will help support hair

terrific nabil from youtube can you

share the best gout friendly keto diet

with the gout

you can do a little trick

sometimes this will help where you do a

combination of

maybe about

i don’t know

an eighth of a teaspoon of baking soda

in some water okay on an empty stomach

and then um

wait about an hour

and do about a tablespoon of apple cider

vinegar in some water

and the next hour go back to the baking

soda and go back and forth because

when you alkalize the um

the urine you’ll find that your gout

attacks will go away

but the problem is if you keep

alkalizing over a long period of time

without putting back in the acid in your

stomach

you may find that you get more gas

because you altered the microbiome

because

you know you ever heard of lactic acid

from the lactobacillus like you don’t

want to have an alkaline large bowel so

it’s a great little trick to go ahead

and try to

overcome this

the other tip i’m going to give you with

gout is

i worked with some people with gout and

they’re usually not doing

a very strict consistent version of the

keto

they’re doing sorta and they kind of

allow certain things in there

too much

fructose

too much

fruit

too much sugar and

sugar is just it just is terrible for

gout um so if you could be really strict

uh you may find that is the answer the

other thing is that you might want to be

careful about even the the um

the sugar alcohols like xylitol

um

and even allulose and other things that

um

these sugars these alternative sugars

that um

can actually aggravate gout and

so

watch my latest videos on that because

um

that can be devastating with your

ability to exercise and walk and

stabilize your whole foot um but it’s

you know these are just little things

that you can do there’s as far as gout

though it’s there is not a lot of

information out there with effective

solutions so what i’m giving you is

things that i think will

produce a big effect but um

i’m always looking for suggestions if

anyone has even better ideas

let me know

wonderful uh not wonderful is mervat

from facebook i was recently diagnosed

with crohn’s disease i have no control

over my appetite and suffering from

stomach pain diarrhea nausea no energy

at all please help

yeah you got to go to my healthy version

of the ketogenic diet and

and then if that still doesn’t handle it

then you’re gonna have to research

carnivore because you you obviously have

inflammation in your gut that’s being

aggravated by certain things

anytime you have gut problems i don’t

care whether it’s a gerd acid reflux

irritable bowel bloating

um there’s something in your diet that’s

disagreeing with your your gut and um

you got to find out what that is and and

i just had a interesting

email from this lady who was very

successful in the ketogenic diet

but she relapsed really bad with her gut

problems and she isolated

being the allulose it’s a type of

sweetener that just tore up her

digestive system so

um sometimes it’s carrageenan you know

and like a type of seaweed sometimes

it’s uh

some other ingredient that you have no

idea that’s creating creditiness so uh

this is why you want to

you know do as healthy as possible as

far as the ingredients and then start

eliminating certain things to find out

what the heck is aggravating your

stomach and digestive system

all right very good you know and i would

especially look in the area of these

keto snacks

because they’re just loaded with these

new synthetic functional fibers which i

do not like

all right be advised folks how about

another true false or doc here it is

stand by

push the button there we go

all right so

true or false wearing shoes increases

the risk for knee pain

jump on it audience and let’s see why i

mean can you believe i mean some people

just

they start wearing shoes and these shoes

are just so

devastating for so many problems so

let’s let’s see if this is a true or

false yeah absolutely all right folks uh

jim if you are out there he’s coming to

us over the audio line jim you’re on

with dr byrd

pleasure talking to you dr berg

i’m uh

from canada 65 years old this is about

type 2 diabetes for about 30 years

and i’ve been in the many different

pills

for diabetes and high cholesterol and

other stuff but the last

10 years

they put me in the

other insulin as well injection

but two years ago i started doing the

intermittent fasting 18 6

and doing the

ketos

and lost about 70 pounds so my blood

sugar everything i dropped all the

medication including insulin the only

thing i take is only one

syn jordan once a

day and

uh

in the morning my blood reading is very

good either between 4.7 to 5.2

i do maybe one or two cup of coffee and

lemon water till lunch time

at lunchtime when i do do my reading it

goes to six

to six point eight

this is positing me

okay well um you know what um

then then your liver must be just making

sugar because you’re not eating sugar so

you’re you’re making a little bit um

more sugar through the gluconeogenesis

so um

this happens especially with your

history

i mean your history you’ve been

diabetic for quite some time and you

must have some insulin resistance

problems still

going on

with that coffee you may want to add

some

quality

ghee

as kind of like a bulletproof kind of

coffee and blend that into your coffee

of course no sweeteners and then start

to support your liver a little bit more

maybe you do milk thistle maybe in your

salad you do um

dandelion

greens as part of your salad arugula but

you want to start supporting the liver

to help that

reduce that gluconeogenesis and that’s

really what you’re up against

the other thing i would recommend is if

you see your blood sugars coming up just

start exercising more to burn that off

it’s not coming from your diet so it’s

not as dangerous and

i think you’ll be fine if you just

persist

keep improving things maybe go to one

meal a day

just to really make it work better

and that’s what i would recommend

thank you i did one one uh one day uh 48

hours uh

uh intermittent fasting

but after 24 hours when i tested the

gain was around six six point something

yeah that’s your liver your liver just

is just taking a little bit longer

um

it’s just it’s just a little bit longer

process so

um it’s not coming from your diet so it

it’s uh

your your liver just as some has more

insulin resistance going on and so

that’s what’s

you just have to give it more time keep

tweaking things and uh

support your liver

thank you

welcome thanks for joining us uh let’s

see uh before we get to quiz question

answer number four which has come in

grace from facebook would it be healthy

to raise a young child

on the keto diet i know you have an

opinion about that

i would i would that’s what we’re doing

with my granddaughter lucy she’s a keto

baby and

she doesn’t do all these sugars like the

other kids and

she does do some fruit but

but she’s talk about healthy talk about

it

um

talk about just all the cognitive uh

improvements that you would possibly

have i mean

i wished i knew about keto when i was a

kid because that would be a whole

different thing simply because i lived

on sugar so long i’m and not just even

going beyond just your teeth your

overall strength um

development of

muscle and when you get into sports you

know the whole thing

so yeah that’s um

you know and you have the sugar then you

have the quality of food too the

nutrient dense foods very very important

especially for a kid growing up uh you

want to make sure that the real food

which is a hard to come by so you want

to start getting them involved with um

you know really

with nutrition early as possible

and you’ll you’ll be happy you did that

wonderful okay

dr berg our question was true false

wearing shoes

increases the risk for knee pain

and the audience has an opinion 68 say

that it’s true 32 percent say no way

it’s false

you know it does depend on the type of

shoe you have of course right but yes it

can increase your risk for knee pain

because what happens is um when you put

this foot into a shoe

that a lot of times your toes

is pointed or there’s not enough space

for the toes

um and you’re walking on this cushion

right it can and or a high heel all

these things can throw off your gait and

your muscles and your ankle around your

ankle your calf so i’m going to release

a video on and some really interesting

research on what shoes do to the your

entire body uh if they’re just

you know there’s the the new um barefoot

shoes

type shoes where you can buy um these

you know flatter soles um

more space for your your toes i would

highly recommend getting those shoes

because the uh

um it gives you more stability it gets

your feet to work better and

and it’ll reduce

uh stress on your knees and your hips

so um stay tuned for that video it’s

actually very interesting

very good okay originally from bulgaria

now living in the canary islands we have

hang on he’s getting ready here

we have uh lou bamir lubamir from the

canary islands lubamir you’re on with dr

byrd

good morning

and thank you for having me on our show

absolutely my

question is very simple

but nobody is

telling it the the truth

what

and when

is the best time to get

ben futhermen

and

if it’s going together with alpha lipoid

acid

or they in conflict

so i missed the question um

i i didn’t get it yeah can you say that

again

what is the best time

getting

ben footy i mean oh ben photos

and is it going in conflict with alpha

lipoid acid

okay so um both of those nutrients are

um not going to compete

both of them are fat soluble

so of course you’d want to have them

with some fat

so if you had them with a meal that

would absorb a little bit better now

let’s say for example

you know there’s other factors that

could affect you as well like let’s say

you’re you don’t have enough bile

let’s say you have a fatty liver that

can also affect the production of bile

and the absorption so these are just

factors as well as inflammation in the

gut but typically

they’re fat soluble so you’d want to

have those

with

a meal or just with a little bit of fat

any fat it could be olive oil it could

be

saturated type fats like coconut oil

it could be anything cod liver oil

not an empty stomach

no no no

you don’t want an empty stomach

thank you very much god bless you thank

you

thank you

thank you so much lubamar and i know

you’re having a blast down there in the

canary islands wish i was there

okay let’s see um

oh we do have the quiz answer

for no we don’t let’s see how about our

last question here it is dr bird

all right the most effective

response for sciatic nerve pain

steve i think somehow um

terry altered this question so i better

ask it correctly okay all right please

the most effective um

stretch

for sciatic pain is what okay folks

climb on it what kind of stretching do

we need to do to take care of that uh

the art of today is the

moniker from youtube i have sickle cell

anemia and i’m suffering from with

constipation nausea light sensitivity

how can we help the art of today

you know

regarding the art of today

i would just get on get on the basic

healthy keto intermittent fasting be

before you start taking any remedies for

any of these things i would just get on

the right eating plan i don’t know what

you’re eating so it’s really hard to

evaluate these symptoms unless i know if

you’re on the basic plan and what you’re

doing so

i think you’ll be surprised if you do

just get the basic eating back in that

your your body will

respond very very favorably i mean even

working with so many people

i can’t tell you

how many of issues

cleared up

just by

going back to the basics and making sure

this person is doing it um

typically when someone starts keto

um they hear about a little bit from

here and then there and they they end up

doing it that’s like way off the board

so it’s not the healthy version that

i recommend so

um you might just want to try the one

that i came out there and just see if

that works for you and then you’ll know

for sure sounds great of course we had

ella from memphis on earlier and her

camera wasn’t working but i was

um is not

did he click himself off i have no idea

let’s see no i should be here doc

you know stand by

oh i know what’s going on here

okay dr berg i’m back

okay

well what about going to carol i don’t

think we’ve talked to carol yet we have

not she’s been very patient carol let’s

see here let me put you on there you are

on with dr

burke hi dr berg thank you for taking my

call sure

i started keita i started intermittent

fasting uh from your website in january

2021

i never went i took your recommendations

i never went with all the keto products

that are out there none of them at all i

had great success

um

i love it because

food no longer rules me i have no

appetite i have to say

it’s time to eat

i’ve lost over 40 pounds everything is

great

and it’s now been

over a year that i do regular

intermittent fasting uh i probably do 18

to 20 hours every day

um but my concern is and i was watching

one of your videos but i think i got it

i think i got myself tangled up but my

question is i have numbness in my feet

that hasn’t gone away

and tingling

and it’s just in my feet nowhere else

it doesn’t keep me up at night but

it’s annoying all the time

and i think i need uh something i don’t

know why

um have you ever heard of benfotamine

before

no

okay that’s what you need what happens

is uh obviously maybe before you did

keto you you probably had insulin

resistance to the point

where your um

your

red blood cells were kind of stiff

and they didn’t really they don’t really

go on too deep into the capillaries in

the extremities

and the most extremity

um part of your body is your feet so

um you’re just left with a lack of

circulation to the nerves so now we have

to get that back

so the remedy that works really good is

benfotamine you can buy it anywhere and

you would want to take four of those

pills a day

spread out and the gentleman already

asked about should we have them with

meals well maybe you just have a little

bit of mct oil with it

and you have four times a day

and sometimes people add lipoic acid uh

you can do that but benfotamine is a

it’s kind of a no-brainer that should

give you relief um over a period of a

week you should start seeing change and

that will just feed the nerve

that um

that b1 in the fat soluble form that

penetrates the myelin sheath and helps

build up

the connective uh insulation so you

don’t have that uh short circuiting

anymore

yeah okay and you said four pills a day

is that like

um

milligrams or i mean i think they come

in like 300 milligrams so you would take

four of those a day and

you know

that’s just a rough um recommendation it

could be a little bit less a little bit

more but um

i think um

that will solve your problem nicely

awesome thank you so much you’re welcome

thanks a lot carol we appreciate it by

the way dr berg i’d cut my volume off on

whitney when i put that nice picture of

the baby and mama up and i was just

trying to show them off that’s the

reason i brought up there but anyway i

should stick to the script and not do

that because i cut my volume off and

doing it anyway we have the answer to

the final quiz question today

which asks the most effective response

for sciatic nerve pain is a dot dot dot

and 75 say leg stretches and 25 say

lower back stretches

yeah the lower back stretch because you

remember you want to put this curve back

in so the goal is to stretch in the area

to put the curve back in your lower back

so if you were to lay on a

firm

foam roller to the point where you can

push this curve back in there and do

that for 20 minutes a day that is

probably going to give you the most

relief versus trying to stretch your

legs because if you start doing

hamstring stretches you’re going to

you’re going to aggravate it because

it’s already going down the back of your

leg so it’s like inflamed and you’re

just going to pull it

you can stretch the front part of your

legs that will help you but i think

putting that curve back in is going to

give you the best thing not just for

sciatica but for

low back pain

all right so that’s great for that

video too great okay joy from new york

city just popped up on our screen i

haven’t had time to brief her joy can

you hear us

um yes can you hear me sure can would

you go ahead with your question for dr

bird

yes hi i am i’m suffering with the

condition pcos

um

and

it comes with

ibs

and um

i went to the doctor for my stomach

issues not realizing it was related to

the pcos

and how i found out is i went to a

acupuncture doctor and he diagnosed me

with the polycystic ovarian syndrome

and as i looked it up and as time went

by

all of the other issues that i had was

related to that condition but now i’m

suffering with i i don’t know if i’m

having gallbladder issues

i know i have liver issues because he

said my insulin was borderline diabetic

but it wasn’t diabetic yet it was

pre-diabetic

and

it’s very hard for me to travel because

of my digestive issues

i recently spoke to a lady who does

fertility cleanses to help women learn

how to um you know have children and she

suggested that i do a fertility cleanse

that had a liver cleanse in it and then

a hormonal cleanse

um but my my issues are like i don’t

really know if

if i should start one at a time

yeah um

you know i don’t want to take a million

things at the same time if i need to

think take something one at a time then

i’m okay with that and as far as my

gallbladder is concerned i’m scared

because i’ve never had this issue before

yeah okay so i can give you some really

good advice because

your problem is is not toxins

you don’t have toxins that’s not

creating a problem your problem is that

your insulin

is too high and that makes your

androgens go too high so polycystic

ovarian is a condition where you’re

you’re just making too many uh male

hormone type things it’s like androgens

are too high coming from

this one source which is a spike in

insulin so

the most powerful thing you can do is

not a cleanse or a detox but just to

start to eat

to reduce insulin and there’s two things

two very important things to reduce

insulin one is to go on a very low carb

diet and that’s the keto healthy keto

which i think you need to

go on my website and get that data and

number two this is equally important

uh start doing intermittent fasting at

the same time because that’s gonna

that’s gonna act as a very powerful

thing to lower your

insulin which is then going to lower

your androgens and you’re going to

become more fertile and guess what your

digestive system will finally have a

chance to reset because you’re not

eating so frequently

so i think you can kill two birds with

one stone by doing the

healthy keto and intermittent fasting um

okay it’s

you don’t have i mean i wouldn’t load up

on a bunch of supplements and do

different programs because

the basic problem needs to be

fixed through your

diet and then

then see if you have any problems left i

think it’ll probably

help you with both of these problems

pretty dramatically i didn’t if you look

at some of my other videos with pcos

i interviewed a naturopathic doctor um

and she had pcos she wrote a book about

it and there’s

i mean she just gets one success story

after another um so try to find that

interview but that’ll just confirm what

i just told you

okay okay that is so awesome

yeah absolutely well joy i’m glad we

were able to bring you on we’re about

out of time but dr berg maybe just one

shout out about your constant effort to

bring your products uh more easily and

affordably around the world

if you’re in europe if you’re in saudi

arabia if you’re in

russia anywhere

there should be some links down below

that way you can avoid the expensive

shipping we’re trying to

make it easier to get with all the extra

added expenses of shipping across the us

on that note

i really appreciate all of your

wonderful comments and

your attention thank you so much i read

a lot of your comments and your success

stories i mean that’s where i get the

ideas for the videos

so um stay tuned for some more

interesting ones that i have and uh

i will see you next week same time same

place

[Music]

you
