so today we’re gonna talk about uric

acid kidney stones and Nikita genic diet

now if someone’s going to get a stone on

the ketogenic diet chances are they’re

gonna have more of a uric acid stone

versus an oxalate stone okay so let’s

just first talk about uric acid there

are several reasons why your uric acid

can increase whether it’s going to turn

into a stone or a gout number one it’s

high protein diet okay too much protein

well you don’t worry about that with the

ketogenic diet because we’re going to do

moderate amounts of protein number two

fructose can greatly increase uric acid

don’t have to worry about that on our

program so that can be eliminated or a

high sugar situation high carbohydrate

diets have a tendency to increase uric

acid again we don’t have to worry about

that because we’re doing low sugar and

this is why a lot of diabetics have

higher levels of uric acid because of

this connection but with the ketogenic

diets a little bit different you have

two things one the environment of the

body becomes slightly more acidic okay

and that’s usually where the uric acid

crystals can come out of solution and

form but there’s one little piece of the

puzzle that I want to bring up and it’s

very very important when you do ketosis

you lose sodium okay you have lower

amounts of sodium and anytime the sodium

goes lower your uric acid can spike okay

this is why people on diuretics for

example thiazide one of the side effects

is gout because low sodium diets promote

uric acid okay so if you want to prevent

kidney stones one of the things you want

to do is make sure each day one teaspoon

of sea salt okay now this is for people

on the ketogenic diet if you’re doing a

high carbohydrate diet I don’t recommend

even that much you need lower amounts

but I’m talking about if you’re doing a

healthy ketogenic program make sure you

consume one teaspoon of sea salt each

day because it not only will help

keep this in check but it does a lot of

other things as well

it can prevent muscle fatigue keto flu

and a lot of other symptoms alright

thanks for watching so I hope you’re

coming to the keto health summit coming

up in October so I want to quickly

comment on what we’re gonna do that’s

different from other conventions ok the

problem with these other conventions is

they give you information over a load ok

it’s so much data that you’re basically

swimming in a sea of information we’re

going to do things very differently

we’re only going to cover the most

important things that make a huge

difference now there are three very

powerful strategies that we’re going to

be talking about at the summit that you

will not find and any of my youtube

videos number one is on memory I’m going

to be showing you something very cool to

dramatically increase your memory and

concentration that’s going to blow you

away and number two I’m going to show

you how to increase your stress

tolerance so you are completely calm all

the time alright and number three and

most importantly if you have a slow

metabolism

if you’ve died it for a long time and

everything is kind of just really slow

I’m going to show you how to get

complete control over your metabolism so

you can literally turn up the dial as

high as you want and control as much

weight as you want to lose and these

three things are just a tiny bit of what

you’re going to learn in the summit so

click the link below get signed up and I

will see you in October
