so someone made a comment on one of my youtube  videos recently and they said my grandfather ate  

bread sugar and drank alcohol whiskey his entire  life even smoked and he lived to be over 90 years  

old so how do you explain that dr berg i thought  that if we consume these foods we’re supposed  

to die early well here’s the thing everyone  comes into this world with a different package  

different genes different family histories  so if you had several generations before you  

that really took care of their bodies they  ate healthy consume food from fertile land  

you’re going to probably end up with some pretty  robust genes because there wasn’t a lot of  

things to weaken those genetics so you probably  could then be the person who gets away with it  

there are certain countries that have perfect  bone structure and teeth like in africa they live  

off food that is grown on volcanic soil so you  get all these amazing trace minerals that build  

really healthy bone structure then you have  other countries that produce different types of  

foods that you end up with a lot of teeth decay  like in the uk there’s a tremendous amount of  

sugar refined foods and and dental issues same  thing with the us so depending on your genetics  

your family history the foods the country that you  live in it can make a huge difference of where you  

are on the spectrum but the great majority of  people unfortunately develop metabolic diseases  

earlier and earlier but there’s usually a point in  someone’s life a time that things start to break  

down for me it was 28 years old you see before  that i could eat bread and i ate a ton of bread a  

ton of sugar and i definitely drank alcohol and i  had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever i felt great  

so i can get away with it and that’s why i had no  attention on it i didn’t want to change because  

i felt fine at that point in my life you couldn’t  educate me about keto or cutting off carbs because  

i didn’t i wasn’t fat i felt great i had  no problems until 28 years old and then i  

started to really start to go downhill and that’s  when i started to make some changes so there are  

several factors that would determine if this is 28  years old or earlier or a lot later that would be  

your genetics how robust your genes are from  your family tree then you have epigenetics the  

environment what happens in the environment your  eating habits your stress level pollution there  

are a lot of factors that are epigenetic factors  which are basically even above the genetics what  

happened with me when i was 28 is i went through  tremendous stress right before that going through  

school and and starting out in practice and i know  that did not help compounded by the fact that i  

was eating completely refined empty calories  without any type of vegetables whatsoever or  

anything nutrient dense and then you have your  health reserve how much reserve do you have  

and then your attitude which is  another factor which is very very very  

important probably should be at the top of the  list you have some people that are so positive  

they’re so up that they never get sick so  this is a really important factor as well  

all right there you have it that’s my response to  this question before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the us hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
