all right welcome back everyone

we have another show another q a um

we’re going to talk about keto

intermittent fasting nutrition health

anything that i say is not meant to

diagnose or replace your medical

treatment check with your doctor before

implementing anything that we’re going

to show you today

and

steve

over to you all right standing by and uh

we’re gonna launch right out to craig in

orlando he’s under a great deal of

pressure because he’s opening the show

for us and i’m sure he’s got a

fascinating question and craig if you

would just remember to unmute yourself

you are now on he’s way ahead of me hold

on i’m behind click that and there you

are craig you’re on with dr burr

hi dr berg very nice to meet you it’s an

honor

nice to meet you too

is this a new look with the beards

because i don’t think i’ve seen that

before you know i think i’m trying

something out uh it’s the jury’s still

out we’ll we’ll try it for a little bit

maybe a couple more weeks and then we’ll

go from there yeah well it’s winter

keeps you warm for a little while that’s

right routine so i’m here in florida i

do it for about a month

only to anger my kids that’s about it

exactly

um okay so mike my question uh um i love

your stuff uh i’m i’m very um uh

not so i won’t say strict i’m fairly

flexible with my um my keto uh only to

just try to keep myself kind of balanced

uh socially and so forth but i’m pretty

strict with it uh especially with the

keto i try to keep within uh

30 to 50 grams a day um that will

fluctuate here and there but

my my concern here is or not really

conservative my question

is

when i’m in ketosis

um

if i have

let’s say uh more fat in my diet

then i’ll burn during the day let’s say

it’s like a day i don’t go to the gym

and it’s a day i don’t i just kind of

just work and get up every so often but

most of the day i’m sitting if i don’t

burn what i take in

does it get eliminated or does it does

it gets stored and i don’t think it gets

stored because the insulin is not there

to push it but

you tell me i don’t know

it’s a really really good question

because

let’s just talk about dietary fat if you

were to eat

fat let’s say you ate so much fat per

day

and um with that fat you had some

carbohydrates

well

now we’re going to just go stored stored

storage because your body is only

running on glucose and you you can’t tap

into that reserve

when you’re in keto

now you can actually burn the fat now

does that mean you can just eat

unlimited fat and it’s all going to get

burned no there’s various factors number

one your age your metabolism

um how much insulin resistance you have

which will determine how much fat you’ll

have um are actually being burned so

it’s kind of uh there’s just it’s hard

to um give you uh more of an answer than

that that’s just the general concept but

um

um you know if you do this and you

notice wow

not losing weight even though you’re in

ketosis right because your those ketones

could be coming from dietary fat

um

it really probably the best way to

determine if it’s being stored is if

you’re gaining weight which is going to

be

that’s going to be very unlikely you

just might not be losing as much weight

right so there is there is a point of

like too much fat

so does fat get stored like a

carbohydrate would get stored because

no it what determines whether it gets

stored is two things one is

how much of that fat you’re using is

energy

or not

and um

and then also what’s going on with your

insulin levels

it really depends on if you’re doing

carbs with that fat

right

that’s really the key

if you keep your carbs

really really low i mean like if you

like if it’s zero and you’re doing fat

um it’s very unlikely you’re going to be

burning that fats

a good amount of it will be

eliminated through the digestive system

as well right but it’s not just going to

be converted over there because

um the pathway of the metabolism of fat

is a little is

actually very different than

glucose

that’s what i figured um yep i

appreciate is there is there anything

that you recommend as far as

a tool or or um a device if you will to

see where your metabolism is at at any

point in the day like i try to do carbs

last meal i eat twice a day

somewhere about 3 30 4 30 and then

somewhere around 8ish

that’s when i’ll do my carbs like i’ll

have some some like raspberries

blackberries that kind of stuff um

is is there anything that you you know

to try to figure okay best time to uh

to be eating not eating eating carbs not

eating carbs etc

well i think it’s um i don’t know of a

tool other than

really understanding your insulin

resistance and how bad that is if it’s

if you have a history of insulin

resistance your set point is going to be

higher because you’re not going to be

able to metabolize and then you can also

determine that just by how fast you can

lose weight

and also generate

energy from exercise

so that’s another thing too is can you

exercise in a fasting state

um if you can’t

because you feel tired

then you’re not really converting that

well to fat and your metabolism is

sluggish

as far as the timing goes of when you

should be eating carbs or fat

it’s a minor point but just think about

this

during the day

you’re more in flight or fight mechanism

so that’s the

sympathetic nervous system and then at

night it’s all about the parasympathetic

nervous system which is

rest

and digest

so

it’s not a bad idea

to shift your meals more towards the

later part of the day go as long as you

can eat and then do another meal as late

as you can and then go to bed just just

just because you have the advantage of

the momentum of

sleeping while you’re fasting

and then waking up and then continuing

that fast and then you also have

you’re going to get a little bit better

digestion

when you’re not in stress mode during

the day

but it’s a minor point so

it’s it’s not going to make a huge

difference

because i’ll have people that will eat

all different patterns and uh it’s

and they do fine so it’s like it’s

probably more for your convenience more

than anything else

thank you

you’re welcome that’s great well thanks

craig enjoy that beautiful florida

weather and craig’s looking pretty buff

so i think he must be doing something

right down there and look like he’s got

a big beer gut or anything going so keep

up the good work uh craig that’s

terrific why don’t we kick things off

with our first

exciting quiz question of the day and

doc here it is

all right so which part of the body

um contains the most coenzyme q10

all right audience dig into that and why

don’t we go over to social media terry’s

been crazily assembling these questions

and they’re great and let’s start off

with jackie from facebook what do you

recommend juicing while on on chemo poor

thing

well

i don’t recommend doing juicing anything

on chemo

because

the the fasting during chemo has a

really interesting effect of

lessening the side effects from chemo

and radiation

so it actually gives you more um

protection

which is pretty wild like you actually

if you fast when you have chemo

you actually will get through a lot

better but as far as

juicing in general maybe you want to get

more nutrients

then you’re going to have to just do a

complete

greens

type thing

and no fruit whatsoever because that

fruit is just going to feed

the cancer so

the greens would be good

so cruciferous green would be good but

you know i don’t know how you feel about

juicing cruciferous i mean it’s pretty

bitter

but if you did juice a

um a daikon radish and that’s one thing

i tried once i

i wanted to try to drink about 12 ounce

13 ounces of a daikon radish juice right

i just slugged it down didn’t even taste

it that was a big mistake because

it’s very spicy and it burns all the way

through and so i don’t advise it but boy

does it clear your sinuses out and

and that would be a very good thing for

the liver if you’re going to do it on a

periodic basis but it’s pretty harsh

so i wouldn’t recommend that

wow well i tell you what dr berger over

the years has uh has been the sort of uh

in-home uh

test rat and he’s told me some real

horror stories the guinea pig right that

he has tried to um you know

find out and he learned a great deal at

his own expense

so anyway i’ll try anything once steve

well i can tell all right so we’ve got

folks all over the world joining the dr

berg show and they are from the uk

canada australia jordan algeria greece

turkmenistan i know i haven’t said that

before because i can’t say it

turkmenistan

botswana south africa iran france new

zealand india norway cameroon sweden

zambia mexico trinidad tobago the

philippines switzerland ireland chile

pakistan india israel belgium scotland

my uh

that’s where my crest came from i think

austria peru brazil the czech republic

and all across the united states and

we’ve got a whole bunch of people in the

green room and they seem to be pretty

much all stateside so we can’t wait to

get to them after craig set such a

fabulous example for us and let me see

if i’ve got any answers back on that

quiz it doesn’t look like quite yet so

they’re all

uh regurgitating on that let’s go back

to social media this is youtube sandy my

heart rate has been dropped to 34 beats

a minute after being on keto for a year

it’s causing me a great deal of anxiety

that sounds pretty low doc

yeah so the pulse rate if it’s low

really means that you need to

increase your sodium

especially in chemo i mean

keto as well as intermittent fasting

that’s one thing that people don’t

consume enough of is sea salt

so start getting more salt in your body

and see if your pulse rate doesn’t come

up

um

you know

the other thing to look at

is

your adrenals

how are they are there other factors

stress wise that type of thing but i

would

really recommend

going with the sea salt i i will um if i

find something else that is

involved in bradycardia or low pulse

rate i will um

i’ll do a little video on that because

um

to my knowledge i don’t i don’t know of

anything else that would lower the blood

pressure like that other than a lack of

sea salt

all right well there you have it and the

audience has it they have

dug through the first question which

asks which part of the body contains the

most coq10

and the audience is claiming at least 35

percent of them say the heart 35 say the

brain and 35 say the liver

well the answer is the heart the heart

the heart is a muscle and it has to work

really hard so it demands a tremendous

amount of energy and so coenzyme q10 is

a

is actually a fascinating thing that our

body actually can make and it’s involved

as a helper

molecule

in the creation of

energy and

the little energy factories called

mitochondria so it helps make atp and

preserve that atp in the muscle of the

heart this is why when people take the

statin drugs that block cholesterol

it also completely blocks the coenzyme

q10 and then they have the toxicity of

the muscles

so they get weak muscle implant flame

muscle

so coenzyme coenzyme q10

is kind of like if you just look at it

like

it gives you your energy fuel and it

also protects against the waste of the

creation of fuel so if you’re gonna um

you have a lot of

byproducts when you create energy right

like you have exhausts in your car

well the mitochondria have kind of their

own exhaust as oxidation or free radical

damage so that’s where coenzyme q10

comes in and as you age unfortunately

you decrease this coenzyme q10 then your

all these heart issues happen

but

now the question is um

how do we increase coenzyme q10

uh the best food

happens to be

um

can you guess steve what the best food

is for to increase coenzyme q10 out of

all the food in the on the planet what

food has the most coenzyme q10 well my

guess is something i hate liver

well you’re you’re close it’s actually

heart

muscle so beef heart

uh muscle

so the next time you’re hankering for

some heart um i think you could you know

beef heart is the way to go if you want

coenzyme q10 now if you don’t want to go

that route you can do liver beef liver

and if you don’t want to go that route

you can also do

anything with chlorophyll

so that would be

leafy greens

that can actually help

build up your coenzyme q10

so um

you know a plant gets the energy from

the sun we can’t we can’t get it from

the sun we have to get it from

other things

um indirectly but the point is that that

coenzyme q10

as you age you don’t produce enough if

you could

uh keep your levels higher and i’m not

talking about buying a supplement just

get it from food

you can maintain a higher level of

energy especially when you work out

especially when you climb hills

especially when you just

you know the heart muscle needs that

energy and then that’s going to help you

with blood pressure as well

so um

you know a lot of people all just take

the vitamin but they don’t they don’t

fix the diet because there’s other

things that are going to inhibit that as

well which i will cover in a video this

week

interesting well i’m going to stick with

the clover because i do not want to gnaw

on a pulsating cow heart i’m just not

doing it i’ll just do without the coq10

if that’s what i got to do anyway let’s

go back to

social media and haley from facebook

wants to know what she can do for hot

flashes

couple things um

tocatrinos that’s a type of vitamin e

works pretty good

so i think

i would do that if i were you that would

help you and of course there are other

natural remedies that you can take i’ve

done a lot of videos on that but

really what’s happening is you’re just

you’re not getting this back up

from the adrenals so the adrenals are a

little bit weak so if you support the

adrenals

that will help you as well sometimes you

know iodine works

sometimes um

you know

vitamin e works i would start with the

vitamin e as the in the form of

tocotrienols

so go ahead and try that

less terrific why don’t we go back to

our green room and we’ve got jillian

who uh let’s see is coming to us from

georgia peach something everything down

there is peach something

and uh hang on just a moment jillian i’m

gonna put you

on the air with dr berg

hi dr berg i’m so excited to get to

speak with you

awesome

um first i want to thank you so much for

your videos i have been

working at inconsistently with

intermittent fasting i’m borderline

um

diabetic i’m like just a few points away

pre-diabetic and so i was doing

intermittent fasting

just eating twice a day

and not gaining any more but not really

losing and i watched your video on omad

and insulin resistance

and it’s only been about two weeks and

i’ve dropped 10 pounds

and i’ve i’ve not even really

incorporated i was for a while i was

doing 10 000 steps a day minimum and

taking all these supplements i literally

had a case

full of

all the

iron and magnesium and all the things

that were supposed to help with my

situation and it was just ridiculous and

to the point where i was feeling like

nothing was working this was just how it

was going to be

and it was just miserable and i had

spent my entire young life very fit

um and had a hysterectomy when i was 36

and that is what just completely changed

everything

so my question is in the video that i

watched you mention that you like to

make sure you consume about eight cups

of leafy greens

a day

and in eating omad i’m a little person

i’m 5'4

i have moderate level of activity and 8

cups of greens doesn’t leave room in my

belly for much else

and i really enjoy fresh vegetables

cucumber tomato

um all of those things and like

cucumbers i i know are very cooling

i’ve seen a dramatic over the last two

weeks i’ve seen a dramatic decrease in

inflammation

i used to have my eyes would tear all

the time

and i knew that that was a result

possibly of inflammation in my body

and so moving to omad

i rarely have my eyes tear anymore which

is just amazing to have such a quick

turnaround and my body is responding

which is feeling filling me with hope

that i can get healthy and i can do it

in a reasonable way

where i’m not

so regimented with all these things i’m

throwing at my system

it’s just very simple

um i eat about between four and five

every day i do

black coffee with just a little bit of

cream in the morning and then supplement

with

broth

and uh if i’m feeling a little bit off

or a little bit down and then around two

o’clock every day i do your wheatgrass

powder

and that’s like a shot of coffee

without the caffeine and that gets me

through until four or four thirty when i

have my meal i’m sleeping great so

just just that little tweak of how to

make sure i’m getting really good

nutrition and the right amount of

calories

since i am only eating once a day i know

it’s really important to hit that 1300

to 1500 calories and that it come from

really rich

nutrient-dense foods

good good question um

it’s really hard to find my video that i

did on that because what do you what do

you do when you do omad there’s no way

you’re going to be able to do the same

quantity the cool thing is that when you

do the less meals that you eat

the less nutrition you need because the

body starts to be very conservative and

it starts recycling nutrients a lot

better so that eight cups on a one meal

a day does not um

apply to omad

so

you do a small amount and but you want

to go with what what you feel like you

you can eat now

when we talk about eight to ten cups

we’re talking about salad but when we’re

talking about

cabbage broccoli all these other

vegetables

you you i don’t recommend eight to ten

cups of that you’re talking maybe uh

maybe four four cups

you know something like that but um

if you did a

just a smaller version of that and it

was a higher quality of you know like

something that’s

really good um a good green i think

you’re fine you’re totally fine i

wouldn’t worry about that

but i will i will tell you it’s it’s

fascinating how

you mentioned something um that

sometimes you think it’s normal to have

these

symptoms right like before like well

this is normal i had this guy i talked

to him yesterday

and he went to the doctor for his uh

urination problem at night and he can

only

he has to get up every four hours to

urinate

and the doctor a urologist told him

oh that’s normal

and in fact if you’re not getting up

every

four hours then

that

waste inside you is toxic to you like

this is the type of information that’s

being put out there

so in other words it’s normal to get up

there before hours and interrupt your

sleep no no that’s not normal so

she took one look at the doctor he took

one look at the doctor and said you know

what

this person doesn’t look healthy so

i think i’ll go with dr berg’s advice

and

cut out my

hidden carbs and what we found when we

looked at his dialogue

and he thought he was doing great

but he didn’t know

the half a glass of wine and the

raviolis each night

was not on the plan somehow he missed

that in class so we got him on the right

track so he’s doing better but it’s

interesting how how much information is

just like put out there that

is considered normal everyone gets up so

it’s normal

that’s fantastic well listen jillian

thanks so much for coming on with us we

appreciate that and dr berg

we are going to go to our next quiz and

here it is

all right on average let’s see how much

let’s see if i can see this how much

sweat do we generate

in bed while we’re sleeping each year

gross all right ladies and gentlemen

climb on that one

and while we are let’s go back to social

media

can you kathy from facebook can you

recommend anything to rebuild cartilage

in the knees

i think

you know

usually it’s not just a lack of calcium

okay i’m sorry

lack of collagen it’s not

silica

is a really good remedy to build up

collagen it’s a

mineral

that

stimulates the growth of collagen so

this is why when you take silica like

you also you like your nails your hair

your joints your ligaments and tendons

do very well

but

just as important as that is the type of

exercise you need i’m going to be

releasing a video

um in a few days that you you’ll

be very glad that i did i interviewed

this this ben patrick who

they call him the knees over toe toe guy

knees over toe yeah it’s incredible

incredible incredible exercises for your

knees

um by walking backwards and and pulling

a sled backwards and doing exercise

backwards and i’m doing it and it’s

amazing what it does to your knees and

your back and

i mean he he’s taken people that had

surgery or

needed surgery to

now they’re playing basketball so it’s a

really good program for the knees and

he’s going to demonstrate a lot of

different

exercises that you guys can do and it’s

you’ll like this interview i i do it i

do this program and um

i’m blown away so stay tuned for that

that interview i think you’ll like it

can’t wait okay sandy b from youtube can

you and i think this is an important

question can you take too many

supplements can it be dangerous

um i don’t know if it’s dangerous really

i mean of course if you’re taking all

synthetics but if you’re taking like

food based supplements it’s not

dangerous

but

like when i first started out

i was taking over a hundred vitamins a

day like that’s that’s way too much

it was a harmful no but was it just

expensive year in yes

so um

yeah you could you know it’s it’s just

kind of expensive when you start going

that route so the key is to find out

what you really need based on your

your weaknesses

um

but here’s my mistake

um

i would

rather take a vitamin and change my diet

that’s really my thought back then

this was like two years ago and i’m

being totally sarcastic this was like

a long time ago

and uh so

i didn’t change my diet and i was taking

these vitamins i didn’t see any change

what a waste

then i changed the diet and then the

vitamins were just like dashing on the

cake they just tweak things so

um you know sometimes when you start and

you take a bunch of vitamins you can

start to

um

change things up and

take out one and see if you if your

energy changes something like that but

let’s just take for example trace

minerals okay

um are you going to feel any difference

when you take trace minerals um no not

necessarily because trace minerals are

involved in

dna repair

so you might not feel any different but

your dna is actually more stable and you

live longer

so

one thing that i do is i just educate

people on

what these nutrients do so you

you’re not basing everything on how you

look immediately and how you feel not

all vitamins will create that change

but

steve i can’t remember

if one of the questions

was this or not but maybe you can tell

me and the question is um when is the

absolute best time

to eat super healthy did i do i have

that as a question

uh well let’s see i don’t see it here

but you might as well knock it out you

did talk to one person about when to eat

and stuff i don’t know if that’s related

well i tell you what

let me just ask everyone right now

before i answer that question this is a

little bonus question when is the

best time to eat right best time in your

life to eat right

i’m sorry dr burke i thought you met

somebody from social media no we don’t

have that question up but i’m glad you

asked so uh dig on that dig into that

audience and we’ll see what you all have

to say okay this is uh poor shauna from

facebook uh my husband is on keto and

has terrible bad breath and it’s not

keto breath it’s so bad you can smell it

across the room and it gets worse when

he fasts what on earth is going on with

shauna’s husband

sometimes um you know

i’ve noticed when people have that um

they’re not doing the version of keto

that i recommend they’re doing more

dirty keto which helps you lose weight

but

you want that’s i mean think about

what’s unique about the keto that i

recommend it’s it’s very different like

i’m recommending like a tremendous

amount of vegetables and you know things

with your proteins

and high quality

honestly i’ve never had anyone complain

about bad breath if they do that because

they get the chlorophyll which purifies

everything you get to use those

vegetables to clean out

the liver a bit more than you would if

you’re just doing pure proteins

i mean even when i if i if i do

carnivore for example i just feel a bit

sluggish and i i feel like

there’s just too much

waste from that protein that’s generated

um

so

our body can take a certain amount of

the

like protein and then the rest is either

has to deal with it

or it’s because protein is not stored or

it turns into sugar

so

i think i would just re-evaluate the um

the type of keto you’re doing and make

sure it’s

the version that i recommend

and you may want to consider even

getting my book and i explain everything

in there as well

wonderful okay well the audience has

jumped on the latest question which

asked on average how much sweat do we

generate per year

and the answer to that earthy question

55 percent uh say 25 to 50 gallons per

year

boy that’s a drenched bed 35 percent say

less than 25 gallons and 20 say 10

gallons or fewer per year i hope they’re

right

it’s 26 gallons 26 gallons of sweat now

that’s a lot of sweat steve i’m sorry

that’s

that’s gross that per person

and uh

so you know it’s a perfect habitat for

microbes which um is in my video that i

released today so

um

in the video that i did release today i

talk about um

what you can do to deal with these

microbial life in your bed to minimize

the the critters that you don’t want on

your bed

oh that’s so good you know

50

of the population that 50 of pet owners

actually sleep with their pets steve

well pets don’t sweat do they

these pets really bring in a lot of

things to the in your room as well to

bring in ticks and all sorts of things

so um

i do know that you know charlie does

sleep in our bed but i try to keep him

on the end of the bed

um

but

actually

i lied he’s sleeping on the floor right

now but he used to sleep in our bed but

he’s been pretty good at jumping off but

you know

wherever he’s been you know he brings it

right into the room so

after you this video that i did you’re

probably going to be cleaning your

your bedding more frequently

well we do every two weeks i think

lori’s grossed out by me so she just

goes and keeps that schedule by the way

our kitty sleeps with us but indoor

kitties so i don’t think she’s bringing

in any ticks or stuff but she uh she

takes up residence with us so alicia at

least at least

every quarter of the year steve okay so

okay we’ll keep on at least that

schedule alicia from youtube can you

make a video

uh to help with crohn’s

uh symptoms my daughter needs good

nutrition but is having a hard time

keeping anything down poor thing

yes i will and that is the time that

that’s the type of um

condition that i would i would recommend

more of a carnivore diet

which is low carb

very low carb no carb and not a lot of

plant sources because that inflammatory

bowel

doesn’t do well with a lot of fiber so i

would jump right on that immediately and

i will consider doing a video on crohn’s

too

okay that sounds terrific why don’t we

go back to our green room and

polly from kansas city

has been waiting patiently and polly you

are on with dr byrd

okay

thank you for taking a call today

i have a very unusual question here

today i’m already on the keto diet i

don’t have any problems or issues for

years staying on a clean diet and doing

the intermittent fasting but when i was

39 years old which was 14 years ago i

started having seizures

and i

was having seizures once a month i also

stopped my menstrual cycle at that time

too

a few few years later i

developed thyroid cancer and had the

right lung removed

and

since then um

around three

three years ago or so i had my last

blood work it came back i had an mthfr

gene

high blood pressure high cholesterol

low white blood cell count low calcium

ocular hypertension tia

and um i don’t understand from someone

who

maintains a healthy diet

you know takes my nutrition

um

i’ve never smoked drink or did any of

that but i still have these seizures

once a month i just my question is

i know you can’t treat or diagnose but

i’m just asking

what kind of information could you give

me or have you treated anyone or do you

see any kind of signs or any kind of

under just anything to help

because i’ve been to the doctors i don’t

want to take the medication i did for a

little while maybe three or four months

but the side effects and i don’t want to

take medication

so um

go ahead

right before i have one um i don’t know

i’m having one of course right before i

have one but i have noticed lately my it

feels like my heart falls to the floor

that’s the only way i can describe it

um

i my daughter says i get red hives on my

neck

um

i don’t know i get very shaky when if i

get nervous or stressed i get my body

i’ll just shake for a few minutes

um

you said you get it once a month

i do

is it around the same time it used to

always be around the same time until

about six months ago now it’s irregular

but for the for 13 years it was around

every four weeks yes

is it ever related to either ovulation

or your menstrual cycle

i i believe so

i mean i like i said at 39 years old

when i started having seizures i stopped

my menstrual cycle i haven’t had one

since

um

but then every four weeks i could count

on having a seizure

no matter what i do

yeah there’s a there’s definitely a

glitch in the circuitry and the

circadian rhythms when they did the

surgery to the thyroid did they also

remove your parathyroid gland you know

[Music]

i do not know no

re remove the right lobe

yeah

so you probably have two parathyroid

glands now instead of four because that

has a lot to do with the vitamin d and

the calcium

so it just kind of creates a

when you remove part of the endocrine

system

and then you

lose your menstrual cycle which is

probably losing the function of the

ovaries too

it puts more stress on other parts of

the um

endocrine system specifically

the backup

gland which is the adrenals so

if i were you

i would definitely

beef up your adrenals and support the

adrenals i have a lot of videos on that

nutritionally stress wise etc

because i think that’s really what’s

kind of triggering things um if it’s on

a cycle the other thing that um i don’t

know if you’re on

the version of keto that i recommend but

i mean the ketogenic diet is the best

thing for seizures are you on a strict

keto and intermittent fasting program

i eat twice a day around 11 and 5 every

day not exactly you know but around 11

to 5

and

for lunch it’s eggs avocado green tea

smoothie

greens and a piece of dark chocolate

so i don’t know if that’s

your definition of what you’re stating

but if that gives you an idea and then

last night for dinner it was salmon

sweet potato and broccoli with lemon

water and apple cider vinegar

so

yeah i think i think you could do better

on that as far as to tweak things and

you know cut out the sweet potato

because uh

it’s the little things that can throw

you off i would probably evaluate the

version of keto that i recommend

and apply that for one month and see if

your seizures go away because

we want to get those ketones high enough

if you take a look at

the protocol for seizures for children

they gotta go they have to generate

enough ketones and the way they they do

it

is they have um

a lot more fat and less protein than we

do and of course their carbs are really

low too and that generates the ketones

to support the brain

so i would

definitely do that do aversion of my

keto with more fat

and then i would also um

i have a question for you do you have

any history of head injuries

i do when i was young i fell off a swing

set but i didn’t go to the doctor or

anything that’s the only

um

actually a car accident where my head

went into the windshield yes

okay so um watch my video on

how to deal with head injuries there’s a

whole protocol for that

because

another trigger for um

seizures is a past head injury

um and so you can check that out and

there’s some really cool things that you

can do

to help yourself

and uh natural things and i think you’ll

like that video so um the combination of

those two things

are two things i would jump on right

away

okay all right thank you very much

you’re welcome

thank you paulie and uh that’s a tough

thing to have had a roommate that had um

epilepsy and he had them frequently

throughout the month and that’s um that

sort of knocks you your schedule is

tough he couldn’t drive there’s a lot of

things that you can’t do so anyway we

really wish you well and i hope that uh

that it works better and as all of you

that have come on today from the green

room uh please do feel free to kind of

contact us about back and let us know uh

you know whether you’re finding some

improvement or have any other questions

because we’re always interested in in

that and by the way randy

did you get steve did you get any

answers back from that other question

that i threw out there oh yeah

let me see um let’s see if terry

climbed on that and he’s usually good

about that i don’t i don’t i don’t see

it would you repeat that please dr berg

now i have to remember what it was see

the best time to eat or something

yes yes okay when is the best time in

your life to eat super healthy

and the answer is not all i’m i’m not

i’m not trying to be funny and say oh

it’s all the time but what um

what time of your life is the absolute

best time to eat super healthy well we

do have an i mean

you do have an answer everyone says now

okay

that’s true but there’s there’s another

time that’s actually more important

if we look at the importances

like some people say well the best time

to eat healthy is when you get older

well no

it’s actually the best time to eat

healthy is when you’re pregnant and i’m

talking to women

because

that

baby that’s developing

is completely dependent i’m talking

about even the dna i’m going to do i’m

doing i’m releasing a video on this

fascinating um

the dna stability

to prevent

alterations in the dna which then

affects your genetics are dependent on

micronutrients

and when you’re pregnant and and where

i’m getting this information

is from

this amazing book on soil grass and

cancer

by a famous researcher

from france this is a link between human

and animal health and the mineral

balance in soil i mean

all this research is on animals you take

an animal

that is

raised on that’s pregnant that’s raised

on grass missing

one micronutrient like manganese for

example and they come out with this

these little lambs come out with

structural

malformations

same thing with our bodies you know we

come out with scoliosis uh lack of um

like arch in our feet

um

dental malformations when you have our

teeth aren’t fitting right our face that

looks looks a little bit off all these

things are directly related to the

genetics which is related to the

micronutrients so

um

boy the best time to eat healthy is when

you have that baby and you know what

it’s not emphasized right you go to the

doctor

uh you’re pregnant and they

they’re looking at the baby to make sure

they’re growing but they don’t mention

the nutrition they might give you

a synthetic prenatal

well that’s not enough and then the ch

and then the child um

is put on infant formula like soy

formula oh my gosh

don’t get me started steve but anyway

i’m going to release a video on that

and talking about the relationship

between genetic problems and nutrients

it’s like quite interesting

well that is interesting uh what a

question so that means we got an extra

one let’s go to yet another question i

think this is our third

and dr berg there it is

okay what is the first symptom of

candida overgrowth

all right audience dig into that

and let’s see let’s go back to social

media and b1 eddie apparently is the

name from facebook can too much vitamin

d cause tinnitus

okay so there is you can do too much of

one single vitamin over a period of time

and it can create deficiencies

potentially neuritis

but typically

a deficiency will cause neuritis

but yeah you can overdo it this is why

when you take the take a b vitamin let’s

say you’re taking

one individual vitamin whether it’s b or

whatever um

i would take that for a period of time

but then you have to take the other

other vitamins that are associated with

it too like the whole b complex for

example from nutritional yeast

or if you’re taking manganese well make

sure you take the whole

all the trace minerals together because

certain too much of one thing will knock

out something else i release a video on

the relationship between electrolytes

and heart function and especially with

like too much calcium not enough

magnesium too much sodium and not enough

potassium they all work together so

the problem that we’re running into

right now is a lot of our food is grown

on soils

that really were only given three

minerals and large amounts and those

minerals then knock out other minerals

that create deficiencies so

here you are eating the food think

you’re getting all this great nutrition

when you’re really not

so it’s uh

something that i definitely am doing a

deep dive and we’ll be educating you on

more so we can

just basically live longer and survive

better and have a higher quality of

health

that sounds good doc let’s go back to

our green room when we have a new person

coming in chrissy from los angeles

uh let’s see actually i think her shot

looks frozen poor thing let’s see if you

can get a

better with that chrissy stand on let’s

go to someone else uh let’s see uh

randy can you hear us

yes i can hear you can you hear me

we sure can randy why don’t you go ahead

with your question

oh okay um my question uh actually thank

you dr berg i’ve really uh done well on

this program it’s like

i’m down 65 pounds and still working i’m

kind of plateaued right now if you got

tougher that’s great that’s great and

it’s like i’ve been doing you know low

carb since i’m about 25 now i’m 70.

and every time i stop the low carb or

fell off of it i’d gain and they get

fatter and fatter and fatter i ended up

like 350 pounds at one time but now i’m

down to about 260. but my issue is i

walked about

12 000 steps every other day plus i

weight train um

in the days between and i have this

issue that like i eat about um try and

make it to about three or four o’clock

um and then stop you know hopefully in

the evening early but i have this issue

about uh six or seven hours after eating

i have diarrhea

and this has been happening every day

and on the days when i weight train i

have a pain right in the middle of my

right above my belly button

and um i had a colonoscopy a few years

ago it’s like i have diverticulosis

which is an issue so i can’t eat

broccoli or things like that but i

wonder if there’s anything i’m doing

maybe i’m taking

too much magnesium or something i don’t

know but uh

can you tell me

very briefly

what you generally eat

at three or four o’clock in the

afternoon oh okay usually i start like

the thing that keeps me the longest

without having any hunger is

bacon and eggs

so um

maybe it’s too much fat i guess or uh i

don’t know well

you tell me and then like i usually i’m

trying to get down to omad but i’m

usually hungry because i work out so

much and so i’ll have another meal later

if you see like salmon or the 20

hamburger

and then um arugula or you know

something like that a very light green i

can’t eat

like cabbage and things like that but i

have been having like

a few a little bit of the um

the um

i forget the cabbage thing fermented

cabbage i forgot what they call it i’ve

been trying to have that every day see

if that helps with the

i don’t know basically

and i think you you did mention you are

taking magnesium

yeah i take that at night before i go to

sleep with my with my uh d3

i think you could very quickly uh figure

this out by

uh start to omit a certain thing so

first thing is like don’t take magnesium

and see if you have diarrhea

oh okay because magnesium is a laxative

yeah um

then the next thing you can do is uh cut

out another thing like arugula but in a

matter of a week you start cutting

things out to see what it is and maybe

even have a sense of what’s doing it but

um there’s definitely some either a new

nutrient or a food sensitivity that’s

throwing things off that

you know diarrhea is

a major problem with nutrients and

retaining nutrients so we definitely

need to fix this like really fast

because you throw off your

stomach acids and

it throws everything off the other thing

too might be a good idea is to take a

probiotic

because you’ve

kind of losing some of your your

microbes these microbes really help you

so

yes try that and i think

it could be as simple as just the

magnesium oh okay maybe what type of

magnesium do you have it’s um what’s the

name of it um

oh

i’m out of here somewhere um

it says complete magnesium whatever that

is so uh what form of magnesium is it is

it citrate oxidized oxide you see what

it says on the package here um

citrate

yeah

yeah that’s that’s that’s your problem i

think it’s uh creates diary as a side

effect if you had a magnesium um

glycinate or a by glycinate um

you wouldn’t have that problem

oh okay i’ll try that

yeah anyway your program’s great it’s

like

missing data about um

the insulin because i would eat like

tons of protein and then get starving

for more protein so uh that’s the

problem with the low carb thing

exactly

that’s great that you’re you’re doing

good so thanks a lot keep it up you’re

welcome and and one point about your uh

exercise um

as you do this over time and you shoot

and you keep trying to do omad which

keep trying to do that

you will get to a point it does take

some time

that you will be able to exercise

and not get hungry because you’re fully

fat adapted and and that’s a really cool

state because

um then you’re really like

you can drop some serious weight and

maintain it but um it takes some time to

get into that so just keep going okay

thanks a lot

yup

thank you randy by the way your folks

questions are what makes the show great

in addition to obviously dr burke so

thanks everybody for contributing on

social media and on our green room video

setup etc and let’s see we’ve got

answers to quiz question number three

and let me bring that up which asked

what is the first symptom of candida

overgrowth

uh audience says 55

white tongue 30 percent itchy skin or or

groin area

10 say fatigue and five percent say

throat congestion or thick saliva saliva

okay so all of you are correct with the

symptoms but it’s not the first symptom

the first symptom would be

cravings for

sweets sweet cravings now that could be

ice cream it could be other sweets but

yeah

intense

sugar cravings even

if you’re in keto

um

but here’s the thing if you’re in quito

chances are you’re not gonna even get

candida because

of various reasons which i will be uh

covering in a video

um

but

it’s it’s a sugar craving so that

the first symptom of uh candida

wow well speaking of sugar uh here’s a

true falseer

all right let me just pull this up steve

let’s see true or false sugar and stress

acidify the body

what say you audience

uh let’s see uh and also we’ve had

someone that we have not uh screened yet

let me see if she’s there fiona fiona

can you hear us

yes can you hear me i sure can why don’t

you go ahead with your question for dr

byrd

okay yeah my question has to do with um

i had um gotten hpv from a partner um

six months ago and um

i also noticed that i’ve been taking the

h um achh

that mushroom supplement that you

mentioned in your video

and um

my doctor wants to do the leap motion on

me um

and i’m just wondering you know there’s

also another thing that happened my

cycle started changing when i was with

him and i know that

i had tracked my cycle meticulously so

it was

28 days for pretty much my whole life

and then when i was with him it started

going to 24 days 23 days even

um

and i don’t know that was an effect of

the

the vaccine or something like that so

i’m just wondering if there’s any other

precautions i can take um

to kind of help

uh with the hpv i know that um i’ve been

doing a lot of meditating and a lot of

us um

kind of sound healing stuff and that did

help bring my cycle back just literally

last month back to 28 days

and i’m 36 years old i feel like

menopause

is um

your cycle will get longer not shorter

right

right so i think there’s a couple things

and one the one the biggest thing is

like like you’re already probably

realizing stress

is um is probably the biggest thing that

just

keeps those uh viruses active you know

and then

so changing your environment going for

in nature long walks hiking

is so so vitally important um to get

your attention off of the stresses that

people go through

the other thing too

is the zinc zinc is like

a probably the most important vitamin

that that makes um

that makes your immune system

stronger to to keep these viruses in

remission the problem with um herpes

viruses is they

they stay in the body it’s hp

it’s hpv not herpes

oh human papilloma virus okay

okay

well um i think that is a

it is if i’m not mistaken it is a type

but don’t don’t quote me on that but uh

it doesn’t really matter uh the point is

that these viruses um

stay in the body okay they stay in the

body

and

they just wait

wait until you’re stressed

wait until you get older wait until your

nutrition is poor and they come out and

just hammer you

so

you’re

it’s real simple the only solution is to

be super healthy and don’t experience

stress good luck right but um

the key is to build up your uh immune

system by the the zinc and then also

another really important thing is

not just vitamin d but

getting your vitamin d from the sun

because that actually gives you the uh

the the ultraviolet

wavelength

which just gives you a whole other

aspect of immune system by building up

your melatonin that you wouldn’t have if

you just took vitamin d so um even with

people when they had

like as far as cobit protection some of

these vitamin d studies were

somewhat mixed

well that’s because they didn’t use the

full sun

benefit of the sun and so there’s not a

lot of studies on that but

there’s a really great medical doctor

online that did talks about that but

these are just things that i would work

on but i think probably out of

everything right now uh

stress reduction is your

should be your motto and um you can

there’s supplements for that there’s

exercises you can do i have a lot of

data on that so i would go in that

direction if i were you okay because i

did have to take a lot of antibiotics

like a lot when i first got the news six

months ago

okay well

so that’s definitely you need to get you

need to be on a probiotic i mean like a

really good one absolutely

i’ve been doing sauerkraut every day and

a supplemental probiotic

oh good good

that’s awesome

um

and then are you doing um keto and

intermittent fasting

i’m doing keto but i’m not doing

intermittent

intermittent fasting so much i feel like

my metabolism is really fast so it’s

when i did do a three-day fast water

fast it was it was really like i was

almost unfunctional

got it

um just want to throw throw this out

there

watch my videos on autophagy because one

of the things that tapaji will do

is it can help get rid of intracellular

pathogens

like

viruses so that’s another little thing

that if you could

maybe um

do a little bit periodic prolonged

fasting with the nutrition so you feel

good um you might be uh benefiting from

that

okay

cool thank you

awesome okay great

good great good luck with that fiona

thanks for joining in with us and let’s

see we’ve got the answer to our final

quiz question for the day which asks

uh or is it true false sugar and stress

acidify the body

and let’s see 55

say it’s true and 45 say no it’s false

yeah it’s false um it actually alkalizes

the body and this is this will surprise

people you would think that sugar is

very acid and you would think that

stress will acidify you no no it

alkalizes you you can look this up

right

in

one of my favorite books right here on

page 84. this is frank netter

encyclopedia

volume 4 encyclopedia no the endocrine

system it’s an encyclopedia of medical

illustrations and physiology but when

you actually have high cortisol

you

lose

hydrogen which is h plus which basically

you lose your acids and your ph

this is why like people start getting

alkalosis

and that’s an alkaline body that is just

a little too alkaline and and then you

might um as a side effect from that get

these little twitches

that means you’re alkaline that’s why

apple cider vinegar is really good

as the antidote to alkalosis as well as

stress it can help you uh you’ll feel a

little bit better um but yeah so it’s a

little counter-intuitive but that’s

that’s what happens okay we got a time

maybe for one more quick one this is

interesting nadia from youtube can i eat

dairy-free cheese during keto i am

celiac and dairy intolerant but she

loves cheese any kind of cheese she can

eat

well it depends on what that dairy-free

cheese is is it soy protein

isolate type cheese like what is that

cheese made out of but i do understand

the problem i love cheese and i am from

wisconsin and

um but i can’t do a lot of it um but of

course fermented is better um one thing

i’m not saying you should do this but

i have found

the higher quality cheeses like the

stuff from

france switzerland some of these

countries that have

really healthy cows

a lot of people don’t have reactions

from that so

versus i know this might be shocking to

you but

american cheese might not be the

healthiest thing in the world for you

um

velveeta cheese they can’t even call it

cheese because

it’s not 100 it’s like it’s cheese

products

so uh there’s a lot of um stuff going on

with these shenanigans with these uh

different ingredients but um if you’re

gonna do cheese make sure it’s quality

don’t do the

low-quality cheese

on that note

i appreciate all of your attention

and i will see you next week

and then stay tuned for some really

interesting videos coming up um this

week i put a lot of time into it so i’m

sure you’ll appreciate it have a good

one

[Music]
