all right welcome back everyone

we’re here for another q a and anything

that i say is not meant to diagnose

replace your medical care check with

your

physician before implementing any of the

information that i’m going to share with

you

on that note we like to dive right in

steve uh

should we talk to chris right away since

he’s been waiting patiently we sure will

poor chris is having little internet

issues or maybe it’s us who knows but

anyway chris i would like you to

unmute yourself and prepare for a great

time with dr berg you’re on the air go

ahead chris

all right thank you doc i love

everything you do i’ve been following

intermittent fasting keto for quite some

time you’ve helped me lose about 100

pounds i feel great um as far as that

goes i went and got that calcium score

and that scared the vegetables out of me

because i’m at a 560 something so we’ll

get to that in a minute

bought all your stuff watched all your

videos and i’m on a five-day fifth day

of a seven day fast trying to combat

that a little bit

and cholesterol ldl the bad one’s really

high and give you those numbers

i don’t know what’s causing all my

inflammation i’ve been my doctor won’t

help i had to fight to get some tests i

thought maybe i had fabry’s disease but

that came back negative but it’s

inconclusive

i’ve been taking some of those uh like

vino things that seems to help digesting

a lot of gas so that’s where i was kind

of leaning with that i seem like i have

a hard time with like broccoli

especially your pills which by the way i

have almost everything that you sell and

if i don’t i’ll probably you know half

at it so

last night i actually took too many

pills because i’ve been trying to work

on my lip

oops well doc he dropped off again

i mean that’s that’s fine i have this is

recorded and i have as much of i have

enough information to tell him

some things to do the the the thing is

though if if you have a

coronary artery calcification test which

actually by the way is one of the best

predictors

for not just heart attacks and heart

deaths but also

all cause mortality so it’s a great

um risk it’s a great um

way to

really see how healthy you are and the

thing is if you just get one test you

really don’t know what it was before so

you just have nothing to compare it to

when when you evaluate something you

always need two

at least two of something right to

evaluate or else you don’t know well how

how was i before you have you can you

can compare it based on normal

um and yeah 500 is is too high um i’ve

i’ve had people had over a thousand

so it could be a lot better but here’s

the thing to know um the most important

thing is to

do the right thing and then test it over

time so i would wait two months and

retest it and it should be coming down

and then we know it’s working so of

course to remove calcium we want to

remove the actual reason why you have

calcium in the first place which is

inflammation

oxidation things like that so like

vitamin k2

tocatrinals is all really important

going low carb doing fasting all those

things are going to greatly help i’m

going to be releasing a new video this

week

on some advance some additional

advanced um

things that you can find out from your

blood test but you have to get a

you have to get a

an advanced lipid profile to do it and

unfortunately a lot of the

doctors don’t really even understand

some of these additional uh

things that go beyond just total

cholesterol ldl hdl

so i’m going to clarify that

and

give you some

i think the name of this video is going

to be

[Music]

the um

unusual

or

or surprising risk factors that you

haven’t heard about when you

for a heart attack

so i’ll talk about that and some of the

best

things to look at that go way beyond

just

total cholesterol and even ldl so

um

that being said if you’re consuming

something that is irritating you

especially taking a lot of supplements

you’re gonna have to

back off them for a while and then just

introduce one at a time to isolate what

what is creating that symptom and then

avoid that for a while and it could be

something related to fiber or who knows

what it could be so

that is the problem of taking a whole

bunch of things at once you really don’t

know

what is um

you know

making the symptom

okay all right chris we hope that uh

that gives you a nice answer i hope you

log on and watch it and i remind

everybody of course both facebook and

youtube the show is recorded afterwards

and captured so you can watch it in

perpetuity

and terry our producers fingers must be

throbbing because he has really done a

great job for our social media

participants and we’ve got a ton of

questions let’s start off with blue

games that’s apparently the non-degear

that this person uses from youtube i am

a 43 year old female on omad i f healthy

keto and i’m suffering from severe

internal body heat or heat intolerance

with little or no sweating ouch doc any

uh remedy

what was the age again that she said

43. yeah i mean

it sounds to me like it could be like a

perimenopausal symptom that is not

necessarily a

um you know night sweats but your body

does

the the thermostat uh in your in your

body is actually on the hypothalamus and

it’s

it’s it’s in the same nuclei or the same

nerve bundle is where you have other

things are related to menopause so as

this change occurs

there’s could be a little circuitry

problem with temperature and so

um

what happens is you get an increase

of two hormones one is coming up from

your

hypothalamus the other one’s coming out

from your pituitary so it’s called that

the

gonadotropic releasing hormone and also

the luteinizing hormone so

so that’s like kind of compensating for

uh

maybe some changes in the ovary

and if you can normalize those uh things

will probably be a lot better and i

think one of the best remedies for that

um

would be

something i’m going to reveal in a video

in two days from now uh it’s i’m gonna

release a video on that and i don’t want

to give it away because i always

always do that on the show and then

people don’t watch my video

so um stay tuned for that video on

the best remedy for perimenopause as

well as menstrual

issues

so um

that would be my long answer to that

steve well that’s good and boy certainly

a lot of the population half of them

roughly that are concerned about that

sort of thing so that’s terrific all

right back to youtube serbia

uh is 24 this is unusual or interesting

my tongue gets red

and under the area my tongue is burning

with mesh-like structure forming behind

my lips my stomach always burns after i

eat

i do not do alcohol tobacco or coffee or

tea maybe he should start

that’s a sounds like a severe b12

deficiency

red tongue burning tongue i mean it’s

like a b12 that’s a

that’s a b12 now you could you said

let’s let’s say your your diet is really

good well it could be

you have some type of um

something called pernicious anemia which

is a

um or like some autoimmune condition to

what’s called the intrinsic factor i

would look at my videos on b12 to see

what’s going on with that there’s

another genetic video

genetic factor that it’s in a video that

i did on

b12 you have to really make sure you

don’t take

the wrong version of b12 you want to

take the natural version which is the

methylcobolamine

not the cyanocobolomy

so

watch that video

and see if you can sort that out and one

really interesting thing that you might

want to consider is to do a genetic test

that’s becoming more popular you the

genetic tests i really like because you

can find out your weaknesses and it

gives you a lot of data

the problem is trying to find someone to

interpret that data so um

but they’re out there

um so you have to find someone in in

functional medicine that really

understands

uh what to do with the data

wow well we pray you get over that one

that is really uh awful sounding uh

what’s good sounding is our first

question of the day this is interesting

doc and there you have it

okay what increases

your

i can’t even read that mortality risk

sugar or vegetable oils oh okay it’s

right in front of my camera right here

okay yeah what increases your mortality

risk

um sugar or vegetable oils so what

causes a greater

increase in death and deaths

sugar

or

seed oils

and vegetables

and we used to think they were so good

for you

okay let’s find out who else is

listening uh besides our great folks in

the green room

and uh terry wants to say a good morning

to all our viewers joining from the uk

canada scotland egypt saudi arabia

belgium trinidad tobago greece japan

algeria cameroon australia france

germany mexico sweden taiwan the

netherlands turkey

philippines macedonia india norway

nigeria hungary poland argentina haven’t

heard from them for a while bermuda

brazil switzerland panama portugal

iceland the united arab emirates welcome

folks chile ghana south africa pakistan

iraq new zealand italy peru bulgaria

iran

guyana hong kong croatia i haven’t heard

from them while either spain jordan and

all across these united states and i

always accuse terry of not saying canada

i don’t recall him saying that but

anyway welcome canada in case we didn’t

have you in there because i know you all

are listening and then let’s go back to

uh social media oh wow he typed even

some more so i may have missed it anyway

amy from youtube why have i stopped

losing weight i’ve been on clean keto

and i have been doing extreme workouts

the weight was falling off but now it

stopped help

well you know i always like to um

do a periodic video on that topic

because

you know as time goes on i i i

constantly am finding more more

more data more strategies more things to

do to speed up

that result because you can always

improve

that

problem of having a plateaued weight and

so i’m going to be i just did another

video on it and there’s a couple things

that you can look at and of course the

thing that i can’t i constantly keep

talking about is to

bring your carbs down to close to zero

as possible fast longer but there’s some

other things

you can do

especially with fats like

realize that the more dietary fat that

you consume the less

of your own body fat are you gonna

you’re gonna use so

uh we want to mobilize your own fat so

in that case you don’t want to be taking

extra

like keto bombs or like as desserts mct

oil

you don’t want to restrict your fat like

from normal protein but you don’t want

to add more fat that’s that’s important

um

the other thing the other big factor and

i’m going to talk about this in the

video

is the stress stress is

similar to eating sugar why because it

releases cortisol what’s another name

for cortisol

glucocorticoid it means it’s a glucose

controlling hormone

so the more cortisol that increases

the more

sugar that your body your liver makes

and then all sudden that raises insulin

so you can even become a diabetic by

having this spike in cortisol i mean

i know of a person off the hand that um

that took prednisone

which is a type of a synthetic cortisol

and ended up with diabetes and of course

the doctor didn’t connect the dots i’m

like i mean it was it was perfectly

right after that situation

so

that is one of the side effects um

that is not really

promoted and

acknowledged when you take these

steroids unfortunately i i took them

every year for many years because of

this darn poison ivy problem that i have

so that kind of messed up my adrenals so

um i

again um

on a positive note if i didn’t have all

these physical problems i probably

wouldn’t even be doing

this podcast right here because i

wouldn’t be interested in it as much as

i am now

yeah doc was the original petri dish and

has poked and prodded himself through

the years in fact i remember you talking

before he used to make these sort of

concoctions and eat them and turn blue

and say nope

not that one

i’ve done every single experiment i’ve

taken every supplement to try things and

detox myself and got sick so many times

so

um

i am the

human guinea pig

so well we all thank you for your

sacrifice the audience uh as always is

always on it and you ask them which

increases your mortality risk sugar or

vegetable oils 55

say it’s vegetable oil and 45 percent

say it’s sugar any winners

you know this will surprise you in a

video that i will release

um

it’s it’s vegetables

by a factor of of

i mean quite a bit quite a bit there’s

only really two other things

that are more deadly

than

vegetable oils and that would be

a heavy smoke heavy smoking

as well as um let’s see what’s the other

one heavy smoking

and

obesity like i mean

really overweight other than that

um

sugar is kind of uh lower on the list

so um stay tuned for that video

but these omega

6 fatty acids are very

pro

inflammatory

and they um

they’re we need omega-6 fatty acids but

we definitely don’t need the ratios of

like an average person has 20 to one 20

omega 6 to only one omega 3 fatty acid

so that’s like just way off the charts

and so in this in

two videos i’m going to be doing this

week i’ll be talking about that and what

you can do about to reverse that because

i mean your

body problems could be just a matter

of making this

adjustment of these two fats and i’m

also going to release a video on the

simple way to do it because so to not

make it too complex

okay here’s another interesting name lab

tech 66

from youtube says i believe i am

suffering from exposure to mold i found

a roof leak that wasn’t repaired

properly and now i am exhausted with

severe muscle and joint pain chronic

sinus and skin issues what should i do

to address these issues

there’s one

really good remedy that’s probably

growing in your backyard or in the field

down the road somewhere that you can get

it’s called milk

thistle it’s this prickery

huge plant that has

these kind of like purple flowers that

then turn white and you can grab the

seeds out of them grind them up in a

coffee grinder and put them on your

salad

and uh that actually um

here i’m giving away the answer to the

next quiz question um that can greatly

neutralize

poisons okay from

mold

from

snake bites

from poisonous mushrooms

and the list goes on and on and that’s

all i’m going to say

all right well listen and terry’s had

enough of me every week he puts canada

second he just admonished me for that so

i’ll remember that canada you’re always

represented thanks to terry rylu from

facebook thank you so much dr berg your

heart is so generous thank you for all

the information you have shared with us

there they go again uh satisfied

customers so it’s great to hear all the

successes

and let’s see

oh lisa from facebook should someone

who’s recovering from a stroke still be

feeling dizzy every day

well ideally not but it does take some

time

there’s a really good remedy

that you can take

to recover from stroke and that’s a good

amount of

vitamin e okay and i would the one i

would recommend is the tocatrinos

uh there’s

several studies that show that when you

take the tocotrienols

without the tocopherols

that can actually increase your recovery

from stroke because we have a lot of

brain damage and you need something fat

soluble to penetrate the myelin sheath

and open up the

the vascular part of your brain so um

that’s what i would recommend and also

the other thing i would do is i would do

a lot of fasting

and then of course with your regular

nutrients

that you need when you fast

all right let’s try another question doc

here you go

okay

so does lemon acidify or alkalize

our body

okay and maybe that’s an appropriate

precursor to cecilia from facebook’s

question an oft-asked question please

educate us on how to treat acid reflux

typically what happens is that you have

a weakened

stomach acid situation where your ph

is no longer between one and three it’s

four five

even six or even seven

there was a test that i did in my clinic

that you have a person swallow a pill

that’s on a string and it goes down to

their stomach and you have them lay on

their right side for about

i think 10 minutes and then you pull up

the string and you you measure the ph of

that

of that little capsule which absorbs the

acid

and uh

it was like one for one people that have

acid reflux their ph was

like five six

sometimes neutral i mean that’s crazy so

they didn’t have very much stomach acid

so there’s nothing to

to send signals to the valve on top of

the stomach to keep it closed that valve

so then it stays open and regurgitates

you get acid reflux and heartburn so

the solution is to acidify

the stomach

and what do people do they alkalize the

stomach

so if you acidify with betaine

hydrochloride take about five before a

meal go slow because you might have an

ulcer and then you can um acidify the

stomach and then if you have an ulcer

you have to heal the stomach first with

something like

chlorophyll or wheatgrass juice powder

and then acidify it let’s say several

months down the road but steve the

reason why i stopped doing that test

even though it was a great test

is one

one person had a really dry throat

and

the capsule got stuck

in her throat so here i’m i’m pulling

pulling the string up like a like a fish

that’s hooked down there i’m pulling

and it won’t come out

and i said you know what i’m just going

to cut the string and just swallow it

and just let it go through the other

other way but um i said that’s it i’m

not doing this test anymore because this

was

scaring the heck out of me and that

person awful did you attend the funeral

no she’s survived oh thank goodness okay

and uh we have answers already on quiz

question number two and it asks does

lemon acidify or alkalize your body

and our recipients uh

said

our guest said let’s respond and excuse

me 77

say lemon alkalizes the body and 23 say

it acidifies the body

so it initially acidifies but the citric

acid

um

in citrus

fruits

will um break down pretty quick within

probably an hour and oxidizes to an

alkaline substance so it will alkalize

people this is why

people that have calcium deposits

that have arthritis

um they’re usually way too alkaline in

the first place and when they take

citrus especially the fruits

oh my gosh about an hour later they’re

stiff as a board

so they need to

acidify their body and their that

mobilize the calcium because think about

it

like if you go outside and you have your

little faucet that has some calcium

deposits on it that’s because the water

is more alkaline

so

when you acidify it especially like

having a really strong acid stomach you

can help

keep the calcium from

forming deposits throughout your body

so

that’s just a little tip that’s why

apple cider vinegar is really good for

arthritis

interesting okay waiting patiently from

uh i think it’s

england texas is rainy uh and rainy you

are on hang on let me push the button

here

you’re on with dr berg go ahead with you

your quick question rainey

hi good morning uh i’m from ingram texas

oops anyway i’m 64 years old

i’ve been doing healthy keto and one

meal a day for over five years

but since the pandemic i increased my

vitamin d

three to three thirty thousand but i

didn’t

increase the k2 so i’ve been doing this

for about two plus years since march of

2020.

that i knew that keto and intermittent

fasting is very

anti-inflammatory but i started

developing

arthritic

symptoms in my wrist and my hands

my hips

and so it puzzled me so i’m thinking

possibly uh

because i’ve been taking too much d and

not enough k could that be the reason

why and

can it be reversed

yeah i think i think it can be reversed

and yes i think that’s the reason why

because think about it when you

so vitamin d increases the calcium in

the blood by um a factor of like 20x

but if we don’t have enough k2 from your

diet that can take it

from your blood to the bone then it kind

of it goes out through the joints it can

aggravate arthritic type problems so i

would

for a while not take any d and just take

k2

until your joints feel better and then

go back to taking both of them together

that’s why i always recommend taking

both of them together and in the um the

ratio

normally is like if you have 10 000 ius

of vitamin d3 you’d want about 100

micrograms of k2 in your case you might

want to do

four times the k2

and then like half the vitamin d3 just

to kind of balance you back to where you

need to be

when you know when people talk about

vitamin d as being um like 10 000 i use

which i think is a good maintenance dose

sometimes they freak out they think oh

my gosh it’s so much ten thousand i use

well ten thousand i use is really only

250

micrograms which is only

0.25

milligrams so that’s like 1 4 of 1

milligram that’s that’s what 10 000 i

uses but um

but it sounds like such a big number

so i think uh

um that’s all you need to do

okay thank you

you’re welcome thank you so much for

joining us rainey

and we’d love to hear back from you uh

to for your continued uh progress

and you’re striving for health so that

is terrific let’s see why don’t we go

back to

uh social media of course tanya

uh from in maryland on facebook i need

help with thinning hair and bald spots i

can’t find a dermatologist who will

address these issues help

so it sounds like alopecia there’s a

great video i released i don’t know if

you saw a good tip for

for hair growth um which is basically

jello but of course i would do gelatin i

wouldn’t do just regular the artificial

sweetener type stuff but gelatin which

is also in um collagen supplements um

will help with alopecia and hair loss

um

not 100 of the cases so

there are other factors there’s hormonal

issues

uh high dha or dht i’m sorry and also

there could be a

trace mineral deficiency possibly so um

of course i’m not um

here to promote my products but i do

have a hair formula that you might want

to consider because it has everything in

it but in the meantime

try to get some gelatin

and see if that doesn’t just help you

and the last thing i will mention

regardless of whatever symptom you have

including hair loss you always want to

kind of figure out when did this thing

start

and what happened

before right before it okay to get the

clue that you need

because there’s always something in the

background that might have triggered it

to give you

some idea on what to take or what to do

terrific uh let’s go to gail

you elmo i had it right before now i

can’t say it from facebook i usually

boil a large pot of hibiscus tea and

then put it in the fridge after it cools

will it still keep his properties when

it’s consumed cold

yeah absolutely

all right that’s good to know so chug

away that nice cold brew you have there

mickey from facebook could you address

oh the issues of premature ejaculation

and low levels of serotonin

well again this i i don’t have your

history i would um

uh for example i mean it could be a

problem with um

um what your diet is uh especially when

we’re dealing with

issues like erectile dysfunction

premature ejaculation or even low

testosterone

um there could be many different reasons

for that it could be too much

estrogen it could be

that you have insulin resistance in the

arteries

not just in your

in your private parts are a problem but

also in the arteries in the physical the

arteries as well in your heart

so it’s uh there’s a

i would watch my videos on the topic

because i don’t have a quick

answer for that

all right well good luck and uh thanks

for your courage and asking the question

that you know involves a lot of people

dmp from youtube i just finished a 21

day

cycle of doxy doxycycline

after being diagnosed with lyme disease

what do i do now thanks for your advice

i feel for you that’s a it’s a

it’s a nasty condition and it’s a nasty

treatment you you better be putting that

probiotic back into your body for sure

um or that good bacteria immediately and

start consuming

uh foods that will build up like the

fermented vegetables but i would i would

now

watch my video online because there’s

some natural

things to take because even like

sometimes one round of antibiotics

doesn’t cut it and they want to have you

continue for

for a long time but there are

natural antibiotics like

garlic

like

oregano oil thyme sage that you can take

that don’t affect your good bacteria

only the only the pathogen the other

thing is colloidal silver is a really

good remedy

for lime

um

it’s a good remedy

and no it won’t turn your your skin blue

unless you drank a gallon of it but um

the other thing too is that um

this nasty um

spirochite goes in there and hides

into biofilms and spreads to the body so

um

i could probably spend an hour on what

to do but i think i would watch my

videos and then

you’re gonna have to just keep working

at it to keep your immune system really

really strong

um

that’s really the key to the whole thing

all right very good evelyn from youtube

i’m 60 years old and had a full

hysterectomy ten years ago can you

please do a video on the nutrients women

in our situation need if you haven’t

already

well i think i have but i think it’s a

good idea to do a video

on hysterectomy i’ll give you one tip

um

i would there’s standard process has a

really good product called

utrophin

pmg okay eutrophin pmg i would find that

product i would take it i would take two

before bed

and it works really really good for

women who had a hysterectomy so um

but i will do a video on that

because i think that’s a good idea

all right and i’m sure a lot of women

haven’t uh have had that procedure

you know it’s just kind of a standard

thing it’s like

um

probably this relates to

having a uterine fibroid in which case i

should probably do a video on that as

well so

boy i am so grateful for my simple

hydraulics i don’t have to put up with

all that i tell you what i hats off to

ladies for all that machinery having to

deal with it and now let’s deal with the

next question here it is doc

all right true or false

sugar lowers your iq

okay terry’s anxious for that answer and

let’s move on how about to the green

room

and this time we’re going to go to

gerardo

from san francisco and gerardo we

appreciate oh hang on just a second doc

let me fix something here

your head’s half cut off in that shot

and here we go girardi you’re on with dr

byrd

hello dr berg my name is gerardo

from san francisco california

i’m 63 years old

i’ve been doing your intermittent

fasting for over 10 weeks now and doing

mostly omad

following the same program you laid out

in your dietary supplements

dietary and supplements taking uh abcd

zinc cod liver oil lemon water

apple cider vinegar

exercise you know daily sunlight i lost

15 pounds already after six weeks

and have lots of energy and no more naps

after meals but my sleep is inconsistent

where i wake up two or three times

just like the other person

i have a broken thermostat

i sleep with the eye mask and i did some

tweaks so i

cut down the number of i only wake up

once

but it’s still inconsistent

and yesterday your uh sleep aid and your

um

electrolyte arrived so i took those and

so sleep is uh still uh

i woke up once lots of dreams

and um

yeah i

is it my cortisol that uh is my problem

uh

uh yeah any suggestions

yes you have a this is a really really

good question because

um you have

a clock

uh not only in your in your brain but in

all the cells as well there’s a

literally a tiny mechanism that is

controlling the whole circadian rhythm

of your sleep and what the biggest

stimulus of that

is light

and darkness

so

unfortunately the big problem that we

have nowadays is we have an abundance of

light even in the dark we have also a

lot of artificial light so there’s a

couple things that you can do in

addition to what you’re doing that i

think will help you number one

is in the morning if you could go

outside

and watch the sun rise that would be a

very therapeutic thing because that will

at the right time give your retina

what it needs to start to reset the

other thing if you could do this okay

is to watch the sun set

at night because that will tell the it

tells the brain

okay reset the clock those are the two

reset things let’s say you can’t do that

well then you can get what’s called

bright light therapy and you can buy a

little lamp and you can expose like

about 30 minutes in the morning to that

bright light maybe that would be good in

the winter too but those two things

um

i think will help you um a lot

especially the one early in the morning

um

and then as far as

the supplement that i that you took from

my this is the sleep aid

i would take

three of those before about 20 minutes

before you go to bed

um not just one

um if you’re having any problem that

usually

will also assist but don’t try to don’t

do everything at once try one thing at a

time so you really can isolate

what is going on um

so that’s what i would do

all right sounds like great counsel

and uh

we have another question answered by the

astute audience true false sugar lowers

your iq and 95

of your uh admirers say it’s true and

five percent say it’s false

you know i just i

i’m i i mainly asked it just to see if

there was that five percent i’m just

curious about that five percent i’m very

curious about uh

um

like there’s people out there that don’t

think that sugar can lower iq it

actually will

it literally makes your brain

um

not

not connected to their i mean

disconnects the neurons i mean if you

think about even a diabetic um their iq

goes down

uh by a certain by certain amount of

points

so yeah sugar does destroy the brain

and it does lower

your ability to problem solve

to be creative

to

use the mental processes that you need

to figure things out so

um

i’m going to release a video on the

topic if i haven’t already i think i

in fact i don’t think i

i don’t know if i did release that video

yes i did release the video

i did i just remember um

i think uh

i think that would be a really good

video for you to watch on the cognitive

function

of how to increase it and then what to

do to avoid

that goes beyond just sugar too there’s

other things you should avoid that

inhibit your cognitive function i’m

talking about your ability to put your

attention on something and keep it there

because you’re constantly filtering out

extra data that you don’t need and

that’s really the problem is the

the filter mechanisms because when you

actually study something it’s kind of

like you have your cell phone you have

this you have that

how well can you resist that

additional information

when you have sugar

you lose those inhibitory filters

so now everything kind of goes in and

you’re kind of distracted easily you you

have this deficit of attention

someday they’ll even probably come up

with some label

for some disease on that but uh yeah

you’ll have a

deficit of attention

what’d you say no i’m just kidding so uh

boy our viewership is really growing on

youtube and facebook for so thanks

everybody for joining dr berg obviously

his council is welcome and popular and

it’s just great to see that

uh you know continuing on the rise

let’s see jessica from facebook can you

share some tips on how to address weight

gain while in or during menopause

okay so how to maintain weight gain or

i’m guessing she wants to maintain her

weight she doesn’t want to lose weight

is that right or she wants to lose

weight let’s see let me go back to that

uh

oh gain weight i think she would rather

uh let’s see how to address weight gain

i think she wants to lose it okay

okay

yeah with menopause

we have a shift we have a shift of

hormones we have

a sudden shift and that’s really the

shock to the system this sudden shift of

the decrease of estrogen but but more

more decrease in progesterone and so now

your body recruits help from the backup

organ which is the adrenals and then the

adrenals

tend to create the cortisol and the

belly fat and all the other symptoms

that come with it so

we come right back full circle to the

adrenal how do you support a health a

stressed adrenal

i have so many videos on that

if the cortisol is high

it’s really hard to lose weight so a

couple little tips to lower cortisol

would be to get adequate enough adequate

amount of vitamin d

to do regular exercise to do regular

physical work

also mental stress is probably one of

the biggest

things that is relates to dealing with

other people

so you really want to

do what’s called a stress detox

and

you know just

kind of don’t hang out with anyone that

is stressing you out for a while

and that usually helps

but um

i would just identify those individuals

in your life that tend to stress you out

and they usually are bringing you bad

news too so you don’t you don’t want to

watch the news you don’t want to

have too much bad news because it keeps

you from sleeping and it keeps things

stressed and

um

and that can affect your weight as well

well i’m flush with excitement because

someone’s asked me a question cookie

cutter girl from youtube question for

steve can you eat too much nutritional

yeast now don’t take my counsel but i

followed dr burke’s recommended daily

allowance which is nine of these things

and it works very well for me so you

know as anything i think you can kill

yourself from drinking too much water so

i don’t go crazy but i do trust very

much what dr berg says and i get great

results doc am i on on track here

probably just don’t do more than a pound

a day

steve

i wouldn’t do a pound okay um but i

think nutritional yeast um

it has an interesting flavor so either

you like it or you don’t like it but

it’s a it’s a good source of b vitamins

especially if you get it from

the um without the fortification

or the synthetic additions of the b

vitamins um yes they might work

initially but as a maintenance you don’t

want to take anything synthetic um

because i did a video on that i mean the

synthetic vitamins um

basically

mainly from china they’re from chemical

companies they may come from the

petroleum so why would you want to put

that in your body but the nutritional

yeast even though the b vitamins

might be lower than

some fortified version of nutritional

yeast there’s they still are more

bioavailable and they’ll still work

really nice and they um

they’re more of a natural source you

know these microbes

man they just i’m so interested in

how these these microbes uh help us

in fact we are totally dependent on

these microbes

for um all sorts of things in our body

for immune protection

digestion

um

making different vitamins

making different chemicals the same

thing with a plant the plant is

dependent on the microbes you can’t grow

a healthy plant without microbes the

microbes even

immobilize the minerals in the soil but

they even

invade the roots

and they turn into

this is interesting okay this is i’m

getting distracted here but

you can have a pathogen that invades the

root and becomes a friendly microbe and

develops a symbiotic relationship with

that plant it goes right up into the

root up and even to the stem and leaves

so there’s a whole

new

research on how microbes even go are

inside

these plants i mean it makes sense

because they’re inside our bodies

and

they were

on the planet before the human bodies

and so you have a

um a lot of interesting things with

these bacterial and other microbial life

which

you know i can study for hours

that’s interesting okay cookie so uh

uses dr berg uh uh requires on his label

for best results i’ve certainly found

that to be true okay patsy from facebook

i’ve been on keto and omad for over a

month but have developed vertigo and i’m

just feeling very lethargic what are

your thoughts dr bird

you know what i think you need more sea

salt

sea salt

i think that’s going to be the answer

i think that’s going to be the simple

answer

um

i would also there’s the other thing

that if you take sea salt and it doesn’t

work then you’d want to take a ben photo

which is a fat soluble b1 which i

i doubt if you’ll really need to do that

after the sea salt but i would start

with the sea salt as a plan plan a

wonderful doc how about another question

and you feared that you might have

touched on this already and there it is

all right what is the primary effect

of milk thistle

climb audit audience why don’t we go

back to the green room

and let’s see how about um

we went to her tracy we’ve been to there

let’s see who else do we have here um we

have tracy hang on just a second let me

get her on tracy

prepare yourself yeah because you are on

with dr berg with your quick question

please

hi dr berg i’ve learned so much from

your videos thank you for all you do

um i’ve been

i’ve been doing standard keto and

intermittent fasting for about a month

um i’m eating two meals a day

i have adrenal fatigue with high

cortisol

my blood sugar after 20 hours of fasting

averages about 105 but my ketones are

0.5

should i still be fasting with the

adrenal fatigue

yes yes because on that scale of ketones

we want to get it up to maybe three

or more so there’s different levels of

things you can do the fact that your

blood sugars are over 100 tells me

there’s

either you had some really nasty insulin

resistance that’s keeping things from

working like they should

um

and um

so i would definitely um do longer fast

and add exercise those are the two

things that will start pushing the

ketone level

higher and higher and higher but uh

um ideally you want to do that until the

blood sugars come down to about 80 or

less

okay thank you

you’re welcome

all right thank you so much for your

succinct question there let’s go back to

um oh wow quiz how about the quiz

answers so the latest uh quiz question

number four asks what is the primary

effect of milk thistle

and the audience is very cocky they 100

of them say milk thistle heals or cleans

the liver

you know i kind of gave away the answer

there but yes they are all correct

specifically liver protection

it protects the liver against poison a

lot of different poisons

poisons from medications

poisons from

snake by a snake bite poisons from

poisonous mushrooms poison from mold

toxins

so it’s quite interesting because um

you know i can go outside right now and

i see milk thistle all over the place

and uh so i’m gonna be collecting the

seeds as soon as soon as the flower

turns white and i’ll be i’ll be blending

them up and i’ll be putting them in a

little container and consuming them on a

regular basis just

because as the more i study milk thistle

the more i’m amazed at what it can do

i mean it’s like serious liver

protection

and

and also um

good for blood sugars and mood and um

so but what it does to the liver because

so many people have

a toxic liver nowadays

you know why not use a

homemade remedy

like that and it’s

it’s so easy to find the milk thistle

it’s like all over the place you just

have to look up

what it looks like

all right that’s great and i gave

everybody a quick preview of daniel

somehow his picture popped up so why

don’t we just carry that further and

bring him on to the show daniel you are

on with dr berg for your brief question

daniel can you hear us

um i guess daniel has muted out so let’s

go back to a full picture of you and go

back to social media while we’re waiting

for him to get that together vicki from

facebook i am a nurse and your

information is much more helpful and on

the spot than any of my doctors oh wait

a minute here we’ve got him just a

moment uh daniel let’s bring it back up

there you go you’re on with dr

bergdaniel

we have some technical difficulty with

daniel so daniel i’m sorry but we’re

going to have to put you back in the

green room for a while until we figure

out what your audio problem is so anyway

isn’t that interesting dr berg that

vicki a nurse

has found your information more spot-on

than any of the doctors that is uh

that’s hopeful

so thank you for uh that acknowledgement

you know i think sometimes yeah so let’s

see let’s see if we can get daniel

daniel can you hear me

daniel can you hear us

uh gee

i think we can hear him but he can’t

hear us that’s probably the issue i’m

not sure what it is i spoke with him

earlier and he uh cheerfully addressed

us

but uh hang on just a second i uh

just can’t get him to go but we’re not

going to give up on him

certainly um let’s go to okay so he just

said

he he just said yes so why don’t you

tell me daniel your question

okay

so maybe you can’t hear me yeah for some

reason interesting well i’m that

saddens both of us

but we’ll uh keep that in mind i tell

you what why don’t we go to our final

question as we wait for

daniel uh to uh come about and here it

is

uh yeah but there’s a severe delay so

why don’t you go ahead and ask your

question

oh you can hear me now okay great

go ahead

what’s your question

what you might want to do is type in

your question because either there’s a

delay or something i don’t know what’s

happening but yes uh

oh

great so uh yes i’ve uh

yes i’ve i’ve been so here’s a little

bit of background i’ve been doing your

uh keto and intermittent fasting for

about uh three and a half

daniel if you can hear us go on with

your question

so steve why don’t you just text him to

ask the question in the chat and we’ll

put him on mu because it kind of comes

in and out so

sorry about the delay i don’t know

what’s happening

but

i

yes

and and so um i’ve lost about 25 pounds

wait the suspense is killing us

yes steve why don’t you just put him on

pause and tell him to type in the um

and we’ll go to what about do we let’s

see did we uh

i think we’ve got that yeah gone to

everyone now i don’t know

let’s see did we get to uh tracy

yeah tracy you there

oh no we did i’m here i heard you yeah

that’s right that’s my question oh good

thank you tracy yeah we’re all sort of

caught up here so uh we talked about

rain rain reyna spray did we do rayna we

did

okay we did from texas and she it was

very entertaining

and then let’s see how about um the last

question for the day here it is

yeah all right so let’s see uh true or

false the lack of diversity of your

microbiome can contribute to depression

is that true or false

okay and then meanwhile poor daniel

dropped off completely so

we hope daniel when you’re watching this

on youtube or facebook please write us

back and type in uh your question and

we’ll get oh he just popped back up and

i’ll i’ll write him back so audience

climb on that uh question

and then let’s go back to the very

patient folks

on um

social media okay charles from facebook

what are your thoughts about alkaline

water and ionized water

yeah i don’t um

i really don’t have an opinion of

ionized water but alkaline water i don’t

like it unless it’s naturally

alkaline from spring water

um that’s what it normally is but when

you start to alkalize water

you know

i i just um i actually did the urine

test on

on quite a few people and when they did

the alkaline water their urine ph was a

nine

now normally it should be like five and

a half to six and a half

um

when you have nine that’s like just off

the charts so i’m like

that’s too high we need that uh ph

in the urine to be a certain level

and

when you start alkalizing the entire

body

um that’s not the best way to do it

you want to just

[Music]

find out why your body’s too acid in the

first place and correct that reason

instead of just alkalizing the whole

body because every part of the body is a

different ph and when you alkalize the

entire body you kind of throw off

everything

so um if you just but if you eat just

eat healthy your body will go back to

the ph it needs to be in

very good ado from facebook what foods

are best for someone with scleroderma

and can it be

cured well you’d want foods that are

good um

as an anti-inflammatory so of course

the obvious is to avoid the omega-6 oils

the sugars

the wheat the grains and things like

that but vitamin d is one of the best

remedies for inflammatory skin problems

inflammation

and i do want to say i do have a this is

and this is a little plug for a new my

new liquid vitamin d k2 product it has

zinc

and mct oil

because you know some people don’t like

capsules and they um also kids have a

hard time with capsules that’s a good

new product to take and

it tastes good too it’s like a lemon

mint so i just wanted to

do a plug on my own product but for skin

problems you need vitamin d vitamin d is

uh the best

for inflammatory skin issues

and um

you can get it from the sun

so you don’t really have to take a

vitamin e supplement but

um

in fact kids that um have like uh

scleroderma where they have a psoriasis

or even eczema

throughout the sun it seems to clear up

so that’s a

interesting coincidence

interesting well i’ll tell you what this

must be

a national dr berg

nurse appreciation day because here we

have another one i’m a christina i think

i’m a nurse in a hospital i’m also a

home care nurse and i recommend your

videos to all my patients in regard to

whatever ailments they might have and

she claims as the other one did you are

the best so thanks folks for uh

reporting especially from this no i i

just want to say i really appreciate

that because i’m

there’s there’s quite a few doctors that

are watching and

recommending the videos i mean like i’m

just giving helpful tips that anyone

could use especially in the medical

profession

um i mean these things have been tested

we have a well over 5000 success stories

on the website so might as well share

this information

and use it because i don’t think anyone

should keep uh

keep their uh information hidden or

secret or mysterious if you have

something that works tell other people

and um that’s what it’s all about yeah i

have a good doctor a good plastic

surgeon buddy and he says many doctors

because of their specialty get tunnel

vision and they just know a lot about

one thing and just you know maybe

they’re too busy or distracted but they

just don’t see outside of that tube and

he says it’s really excellent to do some

research on the side

so uh anyway i think you’re great

and in his case he said so dr berg is is

terrific you know learn a lot from him

if need a face left i can help but

otherwise you know my my knowledge of

medicine is is in a very sort of narrow

channel

yeah and it’s also it takes time to dive

in and try to sort things out

unfortunately i have a very strange

strange

interest in

studying

health information

all day

and then trying to understand it and try

to package it in a way that people can

understand so not a lot of people

read

textbooks as a hobby

or for fun

for some reason i just i enjoy that so

that’s one of the

pluses and minuses of my enjoyment

we’re all the great benefactors of your

energy in that regard okay last question

uh true falser

the lack of diversity in your microbiome

can contribute to depression

and uh 95

of our audience say it’s true and five

percent say no way

you know this this i’m just curious

about that five percent i just thought

it was common knowledge but

you have this gut brain axis this

connection through the vagus nerve i’m

telling you your mood is

hugely

affected by what’s happening in your gut

especially after you do an antibiotic i

mean you could literally go into

some anxiety depression so you know it’s

uh i mean think about what the microbes

are doing they make neurotransmitters

um

and they influence a lot of um chemistry

in our body so um

yeah if your gut is really good

and everything’s working and you have

the diversity because your diet’s good

and boy you’re uh

you’re going to feel better you’re going

to feel better um in your head so

there’s definitely a huge connection

um

i mean it’s way bigger than what people

think in fact even um

there’s certain

research within

especially like on

animal studies okay it’s just like in my

studies they put mice

on a um they destroyed their microbes

right

and they experience

symptoms almost identical to autism

now that’s interesting

autistic symptoms

which is a whole different thing but

still it’s an interesting connection

that’s connected to the microbiome

so if my child had autism you better

believe it i would be fortifying them

with um

probiotics fermented

uh

vegetables getting rid of the sugar

i would be all over that well that’s

wonderful dr burke guess what we’ve done

it again we got through all our

questions and uh it’s about that time

listen just i want to thank you guys

again you guys have great questions i

appreciate all the comments uh on

my channel i read a lot of them and stay

tuned for some additional really

interesting videos coming up this next

week have a good weekend

[Music]

you
