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

good morning we’re back and we’re here

to take your questions Karen is here

hello and Karen’s gonna help feel some

of the Facebook and YouTube questions so

there’s already a lot of callers on the

line in fact Debbie called about 30

minutes ago from Tennessee hey Debbie go

ahead I’m ready for your question yes

first I would say I’ve been on it a

little over three weeks and I’ve lost 10

pounds Wow so I’m doing separate but the

last week or so I have been having the

worst craving for peanut butter and I

give into it cuz I can’t stand it I

don’t know why I would crave peanut

butter

yeah the peanut butter addiction is very

common among people now I mean it’s

basically do you crave peanut butter

when like in between meals yes that’s

what I crave them yeah so how many meals

re how many meals are you doing right

now

well basically one and then in the

evening I have yellow sugar free jello

with that spray on topping because it

has no carbohydrates and basically one

and then I have something about six

o’clock I probably should have a meal so

so here the good thing is you’re not

craving sweet things right you’re

craving a fat no so that’s good I think

something missing well I think what I

would do is you want to transition to

this really nice and smoothly the fact

that you crave anything or you’re even

hungry for anything means you might want

to back out of it a little bit and have

maybe two solid meals like real good

meals with the potassium the vegetables

and then maybe add some peanut butter to

that meal that’s what I would do because

if you’re going a little too fast that

can kind of throw you off a little bit

so just back it down oh you’re freezing

so you’re cold yeah you’re yeah that’s a

low blood sugar thing so you just have

to back out of it a little bit and you

know you start with three meals and two

meals in one meal

so if you go too fast then you’re not

adapted Foley so you’re in the phase of

adaptation you just need to spend a

little more time with maybe two meals

really good healthy nails

okay sure all right on any of my things

so this is all I get

it won’t go live what won’t go live

Facebook or YouTube neither one of them

are going live well your your live now

so everyone’s here you know I know but

it’s not on my computer oh I got it well

hey keep trying thanks Debbie hey Brooke

you’ve been um you’ve been on the line

for a while to you you’re also from

Tennessee you had a question about warts

and thirst go ahead I had worked when I

was a kid you know like on my hands and

my knees in my feet and I also had them

on my eyelid those little weird more so

people get on their eyelid and the

doctors say that there’s no way to

prevent them you can just like having

lasered off afros offer like have them

clipped off and I would like to know how

to prevent those I’m sure there’s bite

of the venom and then why am I getting

so thirsty after I eat because like I

don’t eat any sugar okay so quick

question about the thirst do you have a

history of eating other sugar yes okay

did you just start the the keto and

intermittent fasting okay has the thirst

then increased as you started doing it

the first I just started like this not

okay well good so let’s let’s talk about

that I just first of all in are just to

give everyone a disclaimer everything

that I say and recommend is really not

meant to diagnose anyone check with your

doctor before taking all these these

recommendations that I might give you

with you know based on my opinion but

it’s meant for your entertainment and

education to do research okay that being

said as far as the warts go

that’s usually a viral problem and

there’s some great remedies out

for viruses one is something called mono

Lauren mono Lauren okay it’s a

concentrated compound in coconut oil and

get it online give it Amazon go to

health food store mana Lauren it’s one

of the best things I know for viruses

you take small amounts over a long

period of time and then you can start

beefing up a little bit more but that’s

a really good for thing for virus is a

natural thing with I don’t know of any

side effects okay so as far as your

thirst goes typically if you’re extra

thirsty it could even be a blood sugar

problem pre-diabetes because diabetics

usually have a lot of sugar problems

when the sugar is really high and then

what happens is wherever the sugar goes

the water goes so the sugar goes out of

the urine and the water goes out so

you’re you’re peeing more and you’re

thirsty more that can be a blood sugar

thing

however if if you’re doing this for two

months and maybe other things are

improving but let’s say you’re more

thirsty it could be you need more

hydration or more quantity of fluids in

general because think about it when you

do the keto which is low carb you are

getting rid of all the excess fluid in

the body it’s almost like a natural

diuretic and that’s why you need to keep

your electrolytes very very high and and

the one that you need to keep high is

the sodium the salt and that’s what

people forget that you need at minimally

a teaspoon a day and that would give you

about 2300 milligrams salt is composed

of table cells composed of sodium and

chloride so in table salt salt would be

sodium you get about 40% but then the

other 60% is chlorides so to get the

necessary sodium that you need you need

a teaspoon of salt so I would add more

you’ll retain more fluid you have more

volume your blood pressure if it was low

will come up to a good range but also

low so salt diets also worsen insulin

resistance which is interesting so I

think just by adding a little salt

that’ll like fix everything and then be

okay if you’re thirsty just drink more

water and I think you’ll be totally fine

alright thanks for calling Brooke so do

we have any questions coming off the

Facebook here the Facebook yes so and on

the YouTube we have Michael asked about

keto for a very fatty liver yeah okay

here’s what happens when you dookied out

hopefully are you doing in a minute

fasting too you’re dropping insulin down

which means that you’re gonna mobilize

and release a lot of fat from your fat

cell and as this fat comes out it’s

gonna come through your bloodstream and

it has to go through the liver to then

come out as well and if you are not

consuming enough of these things called

vegetables if you’re not consuming

enough quantity of vegetables okay

salads then you could potentially end up

with the fatty liver I’m just letting

you know so you want to keep your

vegetables very high and you know to

worry about it in fact doing that will

then actually reduce fat on your liver

so yes keto is one of the best things to

get rid of fat off your liver because

the actual underlying cause of a fatty

liver is high insulin which can come

from sugar or eating too frequently and

and also definitely high fructose corn

syrup will do it more than more than

regular sugar so good I have another one

okay okay good so Noreen on Facebook is

asking can she do the keto diet if she

is has adrenal fatigue well I think it’s

gonna be if you have four Drina fatigue

it’s the thing you need to do to lower

stress being on a carbohydrate diet

especially a high carbohydrate diet is

is stress on the adrenals fat burning

you’re burning fat is a low stress thing

ketones are very low stress on the

nervous system and by the way half of

your adrenal is neurological tissue so

you’re gonna actually reduce stress the

thing that people are confused about is

the intimate fasting portion of this

where you’re not eating and then your

blood sugars aren’t ready for it

so cortisol which is the adrenal hormone

tends to break down protein a little

faster and releases turns it into sugar

and it can elevate your sugar but what

if you go at this at a

very nice gradual pace we’re doing three

meals no snacks and then slowly take

that breakfast and start inching it

towards lunch it’ll be the best thing

for the adrenals just make sure that

you’re consuming a lot of electrolytes

like potassium and magnesium and sodium

for the adrenals I use the electrolyte

power for that powder it for that and

then also the B vitamins very important

nutritional yeast is key those two

things will really help your adrenals as

you make the transition but yeah carbs

are not good for the adrenal at all now

let’s go to a call from Paula you’re

from Philadelphia you had a question on

the adrenal as well and the thyroid tell

me tell me what will be your question hi

I’ve been having a lot of adrenal issues

not really fatigue but I noticed like I

have an increased heart rate and like my

blood sugar is all over the place like I

can’t get that into control and I tried

to do keto but like I have a gallstone

if I measured it like one point six

centimeters and when I tried like in the

morning I’ll have the like three eggs

with butter avocado and bacon and I take

the gallbladder formula like one pill

afterwards and I drink apple cider

vinegar before and I have problems like

I can’t um and my blood sugar drops

through the night like it drops all day

long I gotta keep I can’t get a control

of it even though I’m adding a lot of

fats to my meals I can’t go three meals

a day I got to do like like every four

hours I have to eat yeah I don’t know

exactly what’s the quantity of

vegetables that you’re consuming in the

morning I blend up to big handfuls of

spinach and I put a lot of stuff in it

like maca maca powder MCT oil just

different chia seeds a bunch of stuff

and I’ll drink that too like around ten

o’clock and and then I have a salad for

lunch

and then I eat like cauliflower man

potatoes I keep that on hand make that

with butter and sour cream and I might

have like you know steamed broccoli at

dinner time with a protein

okay but I just can’t get a hold of you

handle on it so there’s like let’s just

talk about this I think this brings up a

really good point if someone has like a

really dysfunctional adrenal thing what

happens is that you have this circadian

wave of adrenal hormones that will

normally it’s supposed to spike at 8

o’clock in the morning and that’s why

even when you do in a minute fasting

when you get this spike at 8 o’clock you

can have a higher level of cortisol and

that’s normal and that alone can start

dropping your blood sugars and you end

up with low blood sugars that’s why some

people have like a false sense of hunger

about 8 o’clock in the morning because

they’re like why am i hungry I shouldn’t

be hungry that’s just the cortisol doing

this whole blood sugar thing it’s going

to be a temporary thing just push

through it and you’ll be fine so but if

it’s happening like a 2 o’clock in the

morning that’s probably you know adrenal

issues as well especially through the

day if it’s off but especially if it’s

high but there’s a couple things that

you have to realize you’re trying to do

this whole keto with an adrenal with a

gallstone you’re gonna have to focus

really on dissolving that stone with

maybe a little more bile salts maybe two

with each meal I would add choline as a

supplement you can get it as a powder

put that in your shake and start

consuming that I would add a non-gmo

lecithin to that as well so you can

start to those are just high in certain

properties phosphates to help dissolve

this gallstone and then will happen that

will become less and less I would not

add extra oil to your diet that doesn’t

only come with the food I wouldn’t add

MCT oil because it just what happens the

oil stimulates the bile and it actually

causes a contraction of the gallbladder

so that can irritate your gallbladder I

would do acupressure on the pancreas and

then I have different videos on that as

well probably not on your gallbladder

but than the pancreas because you want

to start supporting the pancreas so that

would all help and then

beefed up your vegetables a little bit

more because the fact that your pulse

rate is a little higher tells me that

you need more potassium so in that shake

if you were to add parsley kale and beet

tops

I think that’ll give you the nice icing

on the cake or that I shouldn’t say

icing on the cake that’ll give you the

meat and potatoes no no it’ll give you

the necessary nutrients to help give you

the edge of bringing that heart rate

down also be one from the attritional

yeast will bring the pulse rate down -

these are just little tips and then try

like heck to start doing in a minute

fasting as soon as possible adding more

a little more fat to the meal because

that’s really gonna help you all right

Paula hey Joe Joey I think it’s Joe aim

you’re from Utah go ahead I probably

dropped that um that’s okay back in

April I had a complete bloodwork done I

knew something was wrong I knew it

wasn’t right they did a complete blood

work came back insulin resistance got it

you know you’re here I hear you

everything okay okay okay

so that’s I actually had insulin test

which I know that most doctors don’t do

they only do the glucose yeah so I was

at 22.2 and she told me diabetes starts

around 25 so she put me on metformin and

of course I told her I wasn’t gonna stay

on a drug until I could figure out how

to solve the problem because medication

for me is not the answer

so I found you and in six months I lost

15 pounds my insulin of my last blood

test went from 22 to 217 I’m now off the

metformin but I still have a body fat

that won’t come off I have been stuck

for the past two months I haven’t

nothing zero all my levels are pretty

good and but I’m wondering if it may

have some and I do everything I do to

treat your nutritional yeast I do your

wheatgrass I do potassium magnesium I do

your gall bladder formula I do you name

it I do it

although I

hysterectomies a few years ago so I’m

wondering if my body type has changed

and maybe I’m stuck there and also my

thyroid levels said they were high but

she said it wasn’t a concern because

everything else t4 t3 a1c is all in

normal ranges so she was high high

thyroid stimulating hormone right

the thyroid tpo is high okay okay so so

I also take progestogen and extra dal

because and I’ve been taking those for a

long time since I was in my 30s because

I had low levels of both of those okay

so really really quick because I have a

lot of collars I just wanted to find out

are you doing in a minute fasting yeah

okay how many meals a day - okay so and

how far a claw how close are they

I do intermittent fasting 17 hours so I

try to eat within that a 7 hour period

okay good question so let me just kind

of tell you doing a lot of things right

it’s it’s improving but now we have to

tweak it I think you’re gonna be left

with trying to shorten that period of

time within a minute fasting to try to

get it closer and closer and closer to

the point where you’re even doing one

meal a day and the reason for that is

because you have hysterectomy that takes

out one piece of the puzzle now puts

more stress than adrenal so and then it

throws off the thyroid - so I think your

solution would be to tighten up the time

between meals so try to do it

shoot for 20 meals to 20 hours of

fasting go for that until you’re

comfortable adding more fat and then

start switching it so you’re like doing

maybe one long meal between two hours

and then down to one meal I think that

is what you’re going to need right now

because your insulin was way too high

and then that way that will ultimately

just heal that area but you’re doing

everything right that’s what I would do

to tweak it okay thanks for your call

hey Karen did you have a question we

have a bunch of questions on social

here Cinda and a bunch of other people

are asking about fats either MC tees or

their fish oil in their daily

supplements is that going to break the

fast is that going to have some negative

effect on their fast well this is a

really good question what about liquids

what about fats what about supplements

what about carbs and supplements all

these different things let’s just cover

it well it really depends on how many

calories or how much how much mass that

you’re consuming that will then trigger

insulin if you’re doing a very small

amount of fat it’s gonna probably spike

it just a tiny little bit okay but if

you’re doing a small amount of carbon

it’ll spike it a lot so you want to

evaluate you know the quantities I’m not

crazy about a lot of people jumping into

the MTC’s if they have any call better

issues MCT issues if they have

gallbladder issues however if if they

don’t have a gallbladder issue it might

be a good thing the one of the big

things they really need is the omega-3

fatty acids and you get that from flax

oil and fish oils but I’m going to

recommend a high quality cod liver oil

virgin olive oil as the best thing so

those are the two fats that you would

need more than anything and if you’d

consumed that in a supplement or just

the liquid it’s gonna stimulate insulin

such an insignificant amount you’re not

gonna have to worry about it but when

you get an empty oil then you start

doing like ounces you’re gonna spike

insulin just because the fact that

you’re eating okay okay good I have

another one okay you have one more

question no social media we’re gonna

rule okay so there are a couple of

questions just on intermittent fasting

we’re talking a lot about keto what’s

the difference do you do one without the

other

what’s more important yeah talk about

that well briefly they’re coming very

briefly in a minute or hour okay okay so

here’s the thing the intimate of fasting

will help you reduce insulin

significantly intimate fasting will

increase growth hormone by 2,000 percent

and what about aging that

fat burning okay okay anti-aging fat

burning if you want that you know if you

don’t want that then forget it so I

don’t know yes so in termina fasting

will also increase testosterone okay for

me no well yeah but mainly for men so

it’s a very important thing now doing

keto will also drop your insulin down

that will help you so they’re both kind

of similar in nature and so I would put

them on the same weight of importance

you just need to do them both okay now

I’m gonna take a question from Linda

she’s been on the phone for 22 minutes

then to go ahead you’re from Indiana

thanks Warren thank you for all your

information you put out there

I accidentally come across the video of

yours and I ain’t stopped since

but anyway I think you’ve got the

healthiest version of keto I haven’t

started yet but my question was I’m

getting crepey skin I’m not talking like

fine lines around the eyes or anything

like that but it’s a crepey skin like

maybe certain maybe where the slab is

like say like under the arms but now I’m

starting to see it on my neck is there a

reason for that or what the keto help

I’m sure it is something to is collagen

right did you start the keto and mmm

fasting yet no no I want to get I’m one

I like to learn everything for a jump in

and make no mistakes okay good are you

did you did you reading my book yeah yes

I’ve got it I’ve got your you’re saying

and all that okay great so let me just

kind of give you a step by step from

really fast this is a really good

booklet to get started and then filled

in the details and I think you’re doing

it right I mean you’re just learning all

the details of how to do it but as soon

as you start it’s gonna start making a

huge difference with your skin it’s

gonna help you unwrinkle your wrinkles

okay because that is all collagen you

don’t need more collagen you need to do

the intermittent fasting and the keto

which will drop insulin now you’ll start

absorbing amino acids and you’ll start

having more elasticity more youthful

skin it will start tightening up there’s

another condition that is called etapa G

which is your cells we

cycling old damaged proteins so here you

have this amazing mechanism which goes

in there cleans up all the damaged old

proteins in your cells cleans it up now

you’re left with really good healthy

cells that show up in nice skin toner

skin less wrinkles plus the eating is

gonna be really good fat soluble

vitamins you can start absorbing those

so that will fully handle your problem

so I would maybe this weekend finish the

book and then jump right in and start

Monday because a good thing we don’t

have any holidays coming up attempt you

thanks Linda so I want to take a

question from Christian he’s from

California go ahead actor coverage oh

wow

still good to talk to you um first of I

wanna say thank you for all your videos

really changed my life that’s good so

the first question is you know

electrolyte powder right I tend to

either like way too much I want to know

does it break my fast or not because I

have like one one scoop of serving like

almost every hour right and then like I

eat one one meal a day and I’m easily

it’s very difficult you know because I’m

so adapted but they’re literally powder

I’m so into it so I want to know is it

okay for me to consume it as much as I

want and my second question is um so I’m

eating one one meal a day and so I’m

trying to back out from this fad a

little bit you know because I was one of

the videos you said once we are death we

can back out from the facts yeah well if

there’s nothing else to eat because I’m

having my I’ve like 16 cups of

vegetables and then I have moderate

amount of protein boy what else is that

it give not a fat he don’t make sense

yeah yeah you got to eat something right

so here’s the thing you could try you

know maybe add some humus in there

almost would be good and you have to

replace with something so you have

vegetables you have protein and you have

fat so I would I would maybe add some

types of fats that normally come with

the protein itself so you can do like

nuts or maybe

if you want to do that brie cheese is

really good maybe when you have meats

have more of a hamburger if add a

hamburger versus a steak those are all

important things now as far as

electrolyte powder it has a thousand

milligrams of actual potassium per

serving size so you might want to stick

with maybe four to five as the maximum

and because you’re getting it from the

vegetables but some people can do more

and not have a problem I would stick

with that if I were you

there’s not gonna be any danger but just

stick with that because that’s really

all you need but you’re getting a lot of

minerals that are going in there and the

other thing that’s not in there unless

you’re doing well actually is a lot of

salt so because people normally get it

from the diet so as long as you have

enough salt and elect light powder I

think that will give you enough minerals

to help you with the hydration and

performance so I think you’re doing

great so just make those small little

tweaks all right okay well let’s go to

Karen for a quick question

yes why are my questions always quick

because I have the I have these callers

okay so Abdul here on Facebook he’s been

suffering with congestion rhinos itís

all kinds of allergy problems for a long

time and he’s basically been trying the

Med route but he wants to know what do

you have to say about that there’s a

really good video you have to check it

check it out it’s called a sea so I

think it’s called a salt nasal rinse

it’s a netipot procedure that you have

this little neti pot and you put sea

salt in there and it goes up into your

sinuses you put a little garlic oil in

there oregano oil it will clean out your

sinuses really nicely I have a it’s on

youtube just check it out that’s what I

recommend and of course you want to cut

out the sugar because that breeds

microbes and also congestion so right it

isn’t isn’t the liver really important

when it comes to allergies and

inflammation yeah in fact when you when

you do the keto in a minute fasting you

should have less and less allergies over

time especially the sinus because you’re

also finally able to absorb vitamin A

because you’re getting rid of insulin

resistance which actually helps heal the

inside of the membranes so yeah

definitely change your diet

yeah good so I’m gonna give you one more

question see I wasn’t I wasn’t

completely prepared I had two lined up

okay somebody let’s see um I’m not sure

this was first name is all I was

hesitating on but she’s been on thyroid

meds and she’s handling a thyroid issue

and she started keto is there any

specific recommendation for someone

who’s handling a thyroid taking meds

with regard to keto well what’s gonna

happen is your liver function is gonna

improve okay so then the need for

thyroid is gonna be less and less and

less because if you’re taking thyroid

medication and it’s getting better you

could end up with more sour homas than

you need and end up with a hyper thyroid

so just monitor that because you’re

gonna have better liver function and

take selenium and iodine from seek help

that’s what I would recommend okay I get

more because this menu really fast

I know those questions come up about

five times what about coffee and cream

make sure it’s a grass-fed cream organic

grass-fed cream not a problem with

coffee just make sure keep it at one cup

in the morning like a medium or small

cup because all that caffeine will

stimulate the adrenals and by the way

for those of you that are coffee

drinkers if you feel that little jittery

or this weird feeling after drink coffee

or if you’re addicted to coffee you’re

doing too much if you take the

nutritional yeast boy the report’s I’m

getting back it just seems to take all

that out those symptoms out of the body

really fast this calms the nervous

system really fast because the natural B

once I want to go to Dan dan you’re in

Toronto you had a question about organic

coconut oil in coffee actually okay

that’s correct well thanks dr. Burke I

just to give you before I ask you the

question I just let you know like back

in November 8th I was 203 pounds and now

I’m a hundred and eighty six right yeah

and that’s not a leg injury back in

September so I haven’t been able do my

regular workouts so let’s just by doing

stretches and yoga and doing the

internet fasting wow that’s awesome so

it’s incredible like I was trying to

weigh myself this morning

but that said wall doesn’t matter cuz I

feel better now

you know like I feel better so but then

I looked at the scales are like wow

that’s you know pretty pretty amazing

stop your rock like your advice is

incredible you know I’m trying to get

the word out to other people too yeah

anyway so my questions this dr. Berg

when you’re supplementing with extra

virgin coconut oil and the

recommendation is one tablespoon it has

no protein no carbohydrates mostly fats

does that break the fast so say if I if

I’m doing like try to do one day I’m one

meal a day right now does that break the

fast I put that in my I know you

kind of hinted about that when think

Lisa was asking that question right on

but does that break the fast in the

morning okay good let’s talk about that

it depends here’s here’s the data about

breaking the fast in eating foods now

fats are basically almost close to zero

as far as triggering insulin but there’s

another trigger of insulin and it’s just

the that basically every time you

stimulate the gastro or the stomach

hormone so if the stomach has to work in

any fashion with certain calories that

triggers insulin so it really depends on

the quantity of fat that you consume and

how bad your insulin resistance is a

healthier you are with insulin and the

more that it works you can get away with

a little more fat if you have major

insulin sensitivity just a little fat

like a teaspoon could spike your insulin

more than you would like overweight

people in general have a lot more

insulin than thinner people so the more

weight you lose the less insulin you

have to deal with so the easier it is so

it’s almost like you have to get skinny

to really fix your insulin resistance so

I would play around with it and see how

you do you might be able to handle it

fine and if you find that you’re

plateauing and you want lose a little

bit more then cut it out so generally

speaking one teaspoon it’s not heaping

will be totally fine with that coffee

all right

good we’re going to go to Indiana talk

to Holly you had a question

yes hi dr. Berg hi I’m just starting the

keto diet and I’m getting

I’m reading reading reading and I’m

getting a little confused I have my

micro on My Fitness Pal set at 5% carbs

20% protein 75 fat and you know I a lot

of people says that’s not right

you know I’m just trying to do this

right and my other question is like

you’re talking about the intermittent

fasting when you drink keitel coffee in

the morning that breaks that back

correct good question very a tiny bit

especially if if you have a really bad

insulin problem it might break it a

little bit more but typically it’s not

going to be an issue so I wouldn’t worry

about it too much I have okay and

another thing liver spots yeah I just

seemed like the last six years I have

just been getting pelted with liver

spots believe it or not those should

improve as you do this now did you can

you see my screen right now yeah okay

you see this book I’m holding up do you

have this you have this book no I think

I’m a little bit behind okay

the reason I’m recommending it’s like

you can get through it in 45 minutes and

it’s all pictures it’s on Kindle it’s

called it’s not lose weight to get

healthy it’s good healthy lose weight

and then fill in the blanks with the

bigger book but there’s a lot of

conflicting data out here and so I try

to simplify how to do this and I

actually show you really simply how to

do it so there’s no confusion because

the problem is going to all these

different sources and getting

conflicting data I think you’re going to

be fine with the the ratios that you

said with your eating and then you just

need to go ahead and jump in I have a

recent video it’s called in a minute

fasting keto and manifesting overview

and it gives you an overview of the

whole thing from start to finish and

then tomorrow I’m gonna release a video

for intermittent fasting and keto for

procrastinators not that you’re pressing

here but I want to make it really really

simple like six simple steps so everyone

can actually jump in and get started but

I would start with this little book

right here and get it on Kindle and you

can basically learn how to do this

like in 45 minutes okay okay yes like I

said it’s just so confusing you know I

just

and another thing I have a question

about you know it says that vegetables

are curbs so if you’re trying to keep

your carbs under 20 you know I I love

ballads I could I could live off a salad

so alright so Hollywood can I say

something okay then I have a lot of

other questions in this book we’re gonna

clarify that as well because again it

again not everyone agrees with a plan so

you have to stick with one person and

stick with that but the thing with the

carbohydrates it’s true you want to keep

your carbohydrates low with this

exception you don’t have to count

vegetable carbohydrates in fact you want

a lot of vegetable carbohydrates you

want between seven and ten cups of salad

a day so or vegetables so that would so

you don’t to worry about it I’m talking

about counting your additional carbs if

you’re gonna do hummus or nuts whatever

and there’s a little bit of carb in

there or berries then those are the

carbs that you count okay so hopefully

that clarified things but yeah thanks

Holly okay we’re gonna go to Karen for a

quick question okay what about dry eye

yeah okay dry eyes I used to have that

so bad it was crazy

you know the combination of doing mass

amounts of coffee and low minerals and

also a gall bladder problem and a liver

problem I wasn’t able to absorb the key

healthy fats that I needed to go help

and lubricate the eye

I was very low in vitamin A I really

think dry eye is a vitamin A deficiency

but it’s not that you’re not consuming

vitamin A it’s because your gall bladder

and liver is not absorbing it and the

cells are insulin resistant and you it

takes really healthy insulin normal

insulin low insulin no insulin

resistance to be able to absorb vitamin

A so do the keto in a minute fasting

that will eventually help your eyes but

if you want to take about them and I do

not take it in a supplement form why

because it’s all synthetic

you want to take it is a virgin cod

liver oil and cut out the sugar and then

your body will start to absorb it and

that will actually fix the dry eyes so

now we’re going to go to Veronica from

California you had a question about d3

and k2 yes dr. Berg hi I’m so happy I

got a hold of you anyway dr. Berg it’s

on the D in July my D was low okay so

then by that time I had already been

listening to your your YouTube so then I

started taking your regimen on that D

and I came so now I went this month for

some more blood work and my D is high

now so way high so I was wondering was I

supposed to stop at a certain time or

keep going on the D or what do I do now

stop it now and how many how much how

much d3 are you taking I was taking the

10,000 IU’s okay and are you taking the

k2 as well and yeah and I was taking the

k2 right along with it

yeah what I would do uh-huh yeah here’s

what I would do I would take the d3 in

k2 maybe every third day right now

because your body’s finally has enough

and just realized you when they do a

blood test they’re measuring in the

blood but sometimes you know you may

have have to build it up in the tissues

which take a lot longer so it’s like

building up and driving it in there but

as long as you’re taking the k2 I think

gonna be totally fine but I would take

them every third day now and apparently

you have enough d3 but of course I

wouldn’t worry about an excess if you’re

taking every third day and of course

you’re in California maybe you’re gonna

be able to get some Sun so maybe you’ll

need it like once a week that would be

the best source of vitamin d3 but then

you’d have to take k2 thanks Veronica

okay we’re gonna go to Karen okay so liz

has a question about carbs she said she

ate some cereal

one day and she found that she had a lot

of joint pain why would that be what

does joint pain have to do with carbs

what’s gonna happen is you’re gonna

you’re gonna spike your sugars okay when

you do cereal and

and what’s gonna happen is you’re gonna

spike insulin and insulin causes

inflammation okay so you’re gonna end up

with a stiffness arthritis or pain when

you do too many carbs so as you cut that

down all that should clear right up in

fact if you add in a minute fasting to

your Kido your the severity of our itis

goes right down so it’s really good for

arthritis and any type of itis bursitis

tendinitis you name it all the addresses

gastritis colitis okay alright good so

let’s go to Kara you’re from Erie

Pennsylvania you had a question about

the gallbladder and pancreas

go ahead hi dr. Berg I was calling you

to get your advice I 39 years old I’ve

never been sick just woke up one morning

with severe well I didn’t know that gall

bladder at the time gall bladder

problems end up had my gallbladder

removed and I was in the emergency room

for about three weeks with severe

pancreatitis still had that to this day

then had a hysterectomy had my uterus

removed and still to this day I’m

throwing up every single night I’ve been

on the keto diet for about a month and

just found out also I have saibra

Hashimoto with a very large goiter

just out of nowhere I just started

having all these symptoms and all these

problems and since I’ve been watching

your videos I have been a lot better

tonight like I said I’ve been on a keto

diet for about a month lost 22 pounds

great if I die roid it has improved 50

percent with no medication just on the

keto diet alone that’s Fanta

are you doing in a minute fasting yes I

am I’m doing I’m down to one meal now

but but last night I just a hamburger

with some sauteed peppers and onions and

was very sick over that okay last night

with that just don’t know what my root

cause is crying like I said are you

doing my gallbladder formula

yes I just ordered that yesterday I’m

doing the gallbladder the enzymes the

vinegar tablet John I take that before

okay let me just give you some quick

tips Cara here’s what you want to do you

want to take the Gaul better formula

after you eat that’s going to start kind

of giving you what you don’t have right

now which is low bile the factor you’re

doing once a day as far as your meal

which is fantastic it’s going to give

your pancreas a chance to chill out and

heal I would watch my videos on the

acupressure to the digestive system it’s

actually even in my membership site do I

go more in depth but if you start to do

massage on these different organs you

can actually help improve the

circulation because you’re you’re trying

to help them with nutrition and foods

which is great but they could be

manipulated they can actually it’s kind

of like a muscle if you have a tight

muscle you’d massage it right you can do

the same thing with the organs and that

would actually speed things up

tremendously you’ll be surprised it’s

kind of like like massage for your

organs it sounds strange but it really

really works the other thing you want to

make sure is you really want to beef up

your your vegetables now and your

potassium which is gonna it’s more of

it’s going to protect your pancreas and

yes now you have the you had these

organs removed you’re just gonna have to

cope with that but I would put more

attention on your adrenals I would do

some acupressure on the adrenals that’s

what I would do if I are you because

that’s kind of like the last thing

that’s in stress know that if you

actually improve that you probably see a

lot of change okay let me just get a

quick call from Patricia has been online

for 22 minutes I want to answer her

question from Pennsylvania go ahead hi

hi I too would like to thank you for

your videos and I have a question about

carpal tunnel plus um I also while my

daughter has carpal tunnel then I have

been struggling with tremors since late

2001 it is when it first started it was

it was like um my hand would shake a

little bit and then it got to a point

where my head flipped in Sirk

and up and down and back and forth and

stuff and and I’ve been seeing my

chiropractor but as long as I’m

completely in I don’t have the tremors

but if I let their pool or something and

I my spine goes out then I have trainers

what have you started the keto and

fasting yet I have off and on but start

for me to stay on because everybody in

my house other than me or eating the

American American diet are you saying

really good foods to resist yes my

wife’s from Ellen coots town fair and ya

know Kutztown cuts to time yeah they

have some serious shoofly pie there and

other things so apple dumplings yeah let

me give you a couple funny take let me

give you some tips okay you’re gonna

have to get cooperation from your family

to help you with this thing they’re

gonna have to agree now to put it in

your face

because it’s gonna be you really need to

do this especially for your nervous

system in the carpal tunnel which by the

way if it’s only in one hand I’m gonna

give you a tip you can work on the

opposite the muscles on the opposite

side it’ll get rid of carpal tunnel just

so fast vitamin b6 is good for carpal

tunnel but I would do it through

nutritional yeast and the tremors should

improve once you get into some serious

ketosis within a minute fasting in

Aikido you’re gonna have to talk to your

family if they want to see you improve

then they’re gonna have to either go on

the program to support you or hide all

this food when they’re eating because I

do know the situation it’s definitely a

big problem but now that you have the

knowledge now it’s just gonna have to

try to make it easy and then for your

for your nerves and the tremors you know

unless you want to keep going on the

chiropractor for the rest of your life I

would just really bite the bullet and

talk to your family yeah or or lead the

way and do the diet yeah regardless of

what they’re eating

mm-hmm and get your improvements and

you’ll inspire them that’s right gotta

do it thanks Patricia now let’s go to

Karen for a question yes so I have shri

harsh from india who can’t get the

gallbladder formula right now so he

wants to know in his diet what can he

eat increase by oh well you can do beet

tops like the Leafs from the beets

okay the beet leaves it’s very very high

in nutrients that are really good for

the gallbladder and also the other thing

that I would do would be dandelion

greens if you can find them is really

good for the gallbladder liver and then

lastly is kale so those are the things

that I would recommend to actually

really help your liver okay in the

gallbladder all right so now let’s go to

nella you’re from Texas go ahead you two

question yes hi dr. Burdick first of all

I want to thank you so much for all your

videos I’ve had a tremendous success

listening to all of your advice so my

question is going to be I have lost I

think a huge amount of weight so now I

feel like I’m struggling for the last I

want to say maybe probably less than ten

pounds so my question is what is your

opinion on calorie deficit or more than

anything what do you think of calories

in versus calories does does that counts

and a keto diet and then if you do

believe in calories in versus calories

out what is your opinion on BMR and I’m

sure you know what that is and also just

one last question what is your opinion

on coffee I love coffee time for me to

give it up so just your opinion on it

please like if I can get organic coffee

drink it every day yes so you do one

into one small cup a day okay and you’re

good make sure you don’t put sugar in

there with the coffee organic would be

the ideal situation now for the last

that my viewpoint on calories is that we

we boils down to this I’ll show you in

my book on page six okay the definition

food that which is eaten to sustain life

provide energy and promote the growth

and repair of tissues comes from the

derivation which means nourishment so we

really don’t need calories we need the

nourishment in the calories and that

would be the vitamins and minerals and

all these other things so we don’t need

calories so as far as calorie deficit

goes it really depends on what type of

calories that you’re doing I I wouldn’t

focus on restricting calories what I

would focus on is restricting the

frequency of eating so that way we keep

the calories high enough to provide the

nutrients because it’s if you’re doing

if you really kind of look at it and

confront it you’re gonna have to you can

lower your calories increase your

nutrients if you want which is a good

idea but if you have a low quality food

you have to eat a lot of calories to get

those nutrients so it doesn’t make sense

so I wouldn’t worry about calories just

start going to twice a day or two once

once a days for its eating and you can

have a huge meal and lose at last 10

pounds because the real secret to losing

weight and you talked about your basic

metabolic rate you’re talking about

improving that is reducing insulin

because if you don’t you’re never going

to go plows that pass that plateau

you’re going to hit a setpoint you’re

not going to bust through that the

couple things that will stimulate your

metabolism would be intense exercise of

lots of recovery and fixing insulin

resistance and one last point the best

way to measure your metabolism or

insulin would be your girth your waist

measurement okay not necessarily even a

like a body comp test I will measure the

waist that way you know that if it’s

shrinking everything is improving

because that’s like the big biggest

indicator that you know things are

getting better I think that answered all

your questions or might have been wanted

to do that I miss but all right so let’s

go to Karen

okay so we have Chi from Malaysia he’s a

student he’s 19 and he says he has

severe eczema and he’s been on some meds

and they’re gonna start or suggesting

immunosuppressant he doesn’t want to do

that and he wants to know what else he

can do

if you want to improve your skin there’s

a couple things that you want to do you

can have different issues with skin that

are it’s like mole growing on the skin

in which case you want to take any one

of the number of things like grapefruit

seed extract oregano oil things like

that you can start taking that orally

through supplements really helps the

skin also getting enough of the vitamin

A is going to be important so that would

be all the healthy fats one of the best

healthy fats would be egg yolks okay a

lot of egg yolks and maybe some

grass-fed butter cod liver oil awesome

vitamin A but taking it to the next step

you want to take you want to take a look

at it in a minute fasting and see how

you can include that in your lifestyle

because when you eat and then you stop

eating for a period of 18 - 20 to 22

hours you go through a system where

you’re recycling all this the skin

tissue and cells and proteins and you’re

gonna end up with a new layer of skin

that’s really really nice so as far as

skin goes in a minute fasting is the

best thing and that includes acne

because will cause acne and skin issues

is high levels of insulin that’s why

women that have polycystic ovarian

syndrome they get acne which is caused

from insulin resistance and high insulin

if they can just go on and a fasting

program and cut the sugar out man that

just completely clears up really nicely

now we’re gonna go to Robert from

Thailand go ahead Robert hello dr. Berg

thanks for taking the call last time I

talked to you I didn’t have my my lab

reports but I have them here I just want

to ask you I’m looking at my GFR score

which is 69 now it says that I have

kidney disease is that make sense to you

I’m 65 years old and if there’s a way to

improve the kidney to make it stronger I

like to do that okay so let’s just talk

about go ahead go ahead

well I was just gonna take I’m sorry

good hair now listening to you I was

just gonna say like yeah yeah as far as

me

diagnosing a kidney disease I can’t do

that but I will give you some tips on

improving kidney function but go ahead

you had another question yeah the only

other concern I really have is that I

have some serious neuropathy in my feet

and in my legs and I’m concerned that

the the circulation isn’t that great so

what I am doing is I’m taking Salter

twice a day organic sulfur which I’m

told that can really heal the body with

a lot of different things and I was just

wondering what else can i Kelly do for

that great question Robert there’s

there’s a couple things you can do the B

vitamins specifically b1 in the forum of

a fat side will be one and even though

this is synthetic I’m okay with taking

it especially if you’re trying to fix

the neuropathy it’s called benfotiamine

and oat to mean write that down and

that’s really good for peripheral

neuropathy is any type of nerve damage

especially is it if it’s related to

blood sugar issues because the high

levels of insulin destroy the lining of

the sheath around the nervous system so

benfotiamine is what you’re missing to

help heal that and also that B vitamin

will protect you from the damage from

high insulin and it’s really good for

that it’s also good to actually support

the kidney if you’re getting your

potassium from large quantities of

vegetables that’s also protective to the

kidney now there’s a concern with people

that kidney disease have too much

potassium but you can monitor that but I

think that’s probably if you’re gonna

take potassium supplement but I’ve had

people that have pretty serious kidney

issues start adding more salad and they

monitor with their doctor the amount of

potassium and it actually improves the

kidney function so I would go with that

and then add the in event of fasting in

there those things would be very

beneficial okay thanks Robert

all right now we’re gonna go to Michael

from Missouri go ahead you had a

question the reason I’m calling is

because my wife was put on acquire a

medication

and it was about two years ago in

response to her having some hair loss

and for two years now and she really

noticed no difference whatsoever the

hair kind of falls out then it suddenly

stops and it will be okay for a little

while he’ll be slightly cool then it’ll

start again and so she’s really not not

noticing any benefit and we’ve seen on

one of your previous YouTube videos that

you said it could be a good idea to get

off and the sooner the better

so oh you want to ask me what the

strategy should be for coming off of the

thyroid medication should there be some

tests that are done all you do and then

after you do it I imagine it may be

possibly quite dangerous so we want to

just get you on that okay great all

right here’s my opinion and again check

with your doctor before applying any of

this this is just my opinion I’m not

trying to diagnose you or tell you to

come off your medication what I would

suggest that you do if you’re taking to

our medication you don’t see change then

obviously there’s something else going

on because if it really was a thyroid

problem that’s causing all your issues

then you would feel better

your symptoms would improve everything

would go back to normal and so they keep

telling you to take it they don’t really

tell you why and you’re here to keep

going and you’re like okay what’s going

on my hair still falling out most the

thyroid most thyroid conditions are

secondary to either a liver problem or

gallbladder problem because you’re not

converting to t4 to t3 and I have a

video on that or it could be high levels

of estrogen the other cause could be

autoimmune in which case usually it’s a

GMO soy product that’s could be

triggering it some of the GMOs now cause

autoimmune of the thyroid Hashimoto’s so

avoid soy oil okay in corn oil because

the chemicals in there but I would just

look at estrogen in gallbladder and see

if you can’t improve that and get to the

real issue of why you have this this

problem okay Michael all right now we’re

gonna go to Karen go ahead Karen okay

good well I want to remind everybody on

Facebook that no matter what you comment

in the comments section you will get an

invite to the keto course and on YouTube

what is it dr. Berg well there’s a link

down below yeah click the link down

below and that’s a really good point and

I just want to piggyback on that if you

guys are benefiting from any of this

information and really want to help

people

press share share to your friends and

family with your in Facebook or YouTube

definitely share this information

because the more people that learn I

mean you’re hearing these great success

I mean they’re just going to benefit in

the goal is to help people but I need

your help to help them and we it’s a

win-win situation

so now we’re gonna go to Karen for that

question good and I’m also gonna say a

lot of the questions are from brand new

people and they’re asking where do I

start so so okay go ahead so let me just

answer that real quick because this is

the book that you should start with it’s

all pictures it’s very very quick 40

minutes and then you can get this book

to fill in the details

I spent tens of thousands of hours

creating this book there’s a lot of

great David actually I just completed

yesterday doing a seminar in every

chapter that was a lot of work I didn’t

transcribe it I did a seminar on every

chapter okay so and then we’re gonna

make it available in a form of a seminar

and then um audio and that and I forced

me to actually read the book again I was

like I was kind of impressed I was like

there’s a lot of great stuff impressed

with yourself I was impressed because

and remind me how much work I put in

there so he’s a hundred and fifty six

images I mean that took a lot of work

and so anyway it’s a great book for

encyclopedia of data on keto

intermittent fasting and also the body

types but this is a good book comes with

a companion if you get on their website

they come together but read this get

started then fill in the details right

here there are videos online beginner

videos overviews that you can watch if

you go to the YouTube my YouTube which

color channel okay and you click

playlists okay then you’ll be able to

see all the ones in Quito and they’re

fasting I have them all right there so

you can just watch one after another and

get through it and yeah get started that

way mm-hmm does it answer that question

yeah that’s good a lot of basic

questions and all the informations on

the video that’s good so then I have a

question about someone wanted to know

about achieving maximum etaf adji okay

first of all for the beginners etapa g

is a really amazing condition where your

is recycling old damaged proteins

dysfunctional proteins damage from

microbes yeast fungus mold Candida and

your body recycles that damage from

pesticides damage from chemicals in the

environment damage from estrogen

mimickers and then your body recycles

all these proteins it basically it takes

that all this junk and it puts it

through the recycler and pulls it out of

the cell and and actually we takes all

these little particles and rebuilds the

cells so it’s it’s like you’re putting

your body through a little healthy

stress called in a minute fasting and

then it goes right into the citta pudgy

and you actually make new cells and it’s

great for the immune system it’s good

for your skin it’s good for anti-aging

is good for inflammation okay other than

that it’s not good for anything other

than doing it well that was fast yeah

all right on that note have a great

weekend guys and we will see you next

week all right thanks
