[Music]

there you go dr byrd

dr burke can you hear us

oh yeah i can hear you fine sorry uh

we’re

on air forgive me maybe you didn’t see

the opening jingle welcome back welcome

back everyone um anything that i say is

not definitely not meant to diagnose or

replace your medical care check with

your doctor before

taking any of the advice that we’re

about to tell you

and uh steve i have some really really a

huge

important announcement um

you know as you know i have like six

thousand videos

and i’m gonna have to make some changes

because

we’re changing our entire program to

veganism we found that that is the best

way to

you know lose weight and be healthy

so that’s my

april fool’s joke for you today

now we’re not we’re not changing sorry i

just had to throw it out there because

terry convinced me to say that but

we’re we’re not changing anytime soon oh

my goodness well i just dumped out my

freezer thanks a lot

i knew you i knew you would

well listen we’ve got today uh

unwittingly it’s ladies night we have

all uh female cast in our green room and

we’re really excited about that no boys

but we will talk to the boys on social

media

so uh anyway let’s see why don’t we go

right to that and we have uh anik

uh is coming from quebec and stand by

i’m gonna bring you up and unmute

yourself annik if you haven’t already

and here we go you’re on with dr byrd

mojo dr berg i’m so happy to speak with

you it’s unbelievable i’m your number

one fan just so you know

so my question today is

whenever i eat

i eat my whole meal i’m full i can’t eat

more but at the end of my meal i sort of

had to grab a cracker i need to grab a

carb or

some sugar i know that i have some left

in my plate that i could eat but that’s

not what i want to feel content i want a

cracker

or a piece of bread or something right

i’m not on a keto

diet only

but i’m getting there

got it well that’s a really good

question because what’s happening

there’s a difference between feeling

full and feeling satisfied you can

literally be stuffed but you just still

feel like i need something you know

and that that something

either

nutrients

and

um fuel and so

if someone has the most likely reason

for that is you have insulin resistance

and so the cell has a difficult time

pulling in that fuel

this happens when you eat food and you

just feel like you know i need something

sweet something quick to drive into the

cell to like oh okay now i’m i’m back to

normal um

i would uh just

don’t go in don’t don’t give in to that

of course you want to start to go more

and more keto because eventually what

will happen that insulin resistance will

be corrected and then you’ll feel really

satisfied but to correct it you can’t

keep doing the carbs so

that is the catch-22 that you’re in

and then what you can focus on is the

nutrient dense food as much as possible

because

um i have noticed that uh

just the the quality of nutrients

uh of certain even vegetables for

example and

from a farmer’s market versus a store or

from certain countries versus other

countries are so much different and when

you consume nutrient-dense foods it’s

going to be more satisfying so

i think you’re going to have to just

cope as best as you can

bite the bullet and then

maybe have some additional

fatty foods after you eat as your

replacement um

maybe fatty nuts pecans something like

that

that’s what i do

but i do understand i had the exact same

thing

okay

thank you

okay

you’re welcome that is great and i might

remind anik that he just gave you a

vegan approach with a nut so that’s

terrific dr berg and let’s see why don’t

we start off with the uh first

quiz of the day and i really like these

questions not that what i like is of any

material concern but here you go doc

okay

um i can’t i can’t see the question okay

let me take that for you which has more

friendly bacteria yogurt or kef if i’m

saying that right kiefer

that’s correct that’s the first question

okay audience jump on that and then

let’s go to

social media

and terry’s been hard at it and liam

from youtube my right hip and right side

of my belly feel tender and i get a dull

ache uh that goes around to my back in

the same place after i eat what’s

causing this and by the way not april

fool’s

you know what

i suspect it could be a potential kidney

stone

especially if it wraps around

one thing that might be good to rule out

a kidney stone is not to just run and

get a cat scan because a lot of

radiation

you can get a much less invasive

procedure

just a an ultrasound and they can

look for potential kidney stones on that

side

but that’s what it sounds like and then

of course in the meantime what you

should be doing is drinking at least two

and a half liters

of water every single day

that would be very important

um the other thing about kidney stones

is that they tend to develop when your

urine ph is a little bit too alkaline

so by acidifying your urine that would

be better so the apple cider vinegar

would be a good thing to do a few times

a day

but i have a lot of videos on kidney

stones that’s what i would suspect if

there is no kidney stone

and then what you need to do is watch my

recently promoted video that i did on

knee and back pain

which i brought on

ben patrick has a great

incredible program all about

walking backwards or pulling a sled

backwards a great exercise to help uh

back pain and knee pain and i do it it’s

completely eliminated my back pain and i

because especially from sitting all day

long you need an exercise that reverses

that so if you haven’t seen that video

check it out it’s a fascinating

exercise that you can do it’s real

simple and anyone can do it and all you

need

you don’t need anything you just need

your backyard or you don’t even need

that you just go start walking backwards

and so

watch that video if you haven’t seen it

well that’s wonderful well i wanted to

get to mimi because this sounds terrible

from youtube again she has partial heart

failure due to a new medicine she was

taking

my heart is only working at 54 capacity

should i be on the keto diet

100

1 000

yes because

the

high carb diet the opposite diet which

is higher carb diet

attacks four

tissues

one the heart

to the kidneys

three the nervous system and brain

and four your eyeballs

if you’re not on keto and you’re you

have a heart problem

the heart is

has has more free radicals more free

it has more

oxidation from the high glucose and so

absolutely positively yes you need to be

in the ketogenic diet you know i’ll have

people

that will say something that just

indicates that they don’t even know what

the ketogenic diet is and they’ll say

well i can’t do keto because i am a

diabetic

i can’t do keto because i have heart

disease

i’m like

no no that’s why you need to do it

keto is

stands for ketones which basically is a

alternative form of fuel

when you cut down your carbs your body

starts running on a different

fuel which is a lot healthier and that’s

ketones so it doesn’t need to run on

glucose any glucose that’s needed by the

body can be made easily by the body

out of

fat protein or even ketones

so we really don’t need

glucose in our diet at all

well mimi best of luck to you and i hope

you find a remember yeah eating a couple

cups of sugar a day doesn’t keep the

doctor away and i love it when you put

it that way you know that’s the

difference between keto

and you know gorging junk so uh anyway

let’s say a good morning to our folks

all around the world and i should first

mention that we have alice coming up in

a little bit she’s from hong kong

uh of course we already had anik from

quebec

and here’s the rest of them a good

morning from the uk canada greece

nairobi pakistan switzerland ethiopia

romania kenya sweden india taiwan norway

spain palu

iran zambia mexico the philippines

france germany uzbekistan ireland turkey

chile

saudi arabia the czech republic the

dominican republic cameroon and of

course all across the united states so

thanks so much everybody you make the

show poor dr berg would have nothing to

talk about if you didn’t feed him uh

reasons to come up great videos and all

the great questions so let’s see what we

have in terms of a answer for our first

quiz and the first quiz let me bring

that up real quick

ask the audience which has more friendly

bacteria

yogurt or kefir if i said that right doc

and the audience 70 of them claim kefir

and only 30 say yogurt

yeah the answer is kefir kefir has a lot

more friendly bacteria it has nine times

the amount of

good bacteria as yogurt unfortunately

yogurt

is not the best source of probiotics it

only has like maybe

one two

maybe three strains

and many times yogurt is heated so it

kills off the microbes and so those

microbes don’t survive the stomach as

well so when typically when you eat

yogurt you’re eating pretty much dead

bacteria but i’m not opposed to all

yogurts you know like they’re like the

bulgarian yogurt and other types of

yogurt might be okay

but not necessarily to fortify the from

the the friendly bacteria

and i won’t even mention all the extra

sugar that they put in yogurt but um

and then you have the lactose

intolerance and the allergy to the

casein the milk protein so there’s a lot

of problems with yogurt so there’s i’m

going to release a video this week

on a much you know things that are

better

than yogurt to fortify you with

probiotics

stuff that you can

you can easily get and

consume and even make

so stay tuned for that video that’s

fantastic and by the way for those of us

that don’t know what’s kefir what does

it look like what is it

kefir is a different fermentated product

it’s usually from cow milk or goat

sheep but what they do is they use

these grains they’re different they’re a

different blend of lactic acid bacteria

and yeast so it’s just a whole different

microbial fermentation and it produces a

different product it’s more sour

um it has more microbes and it has more

diversity of microbes plus the yeast

so it’s much better for you and now what

are the benefits of probiotics in

general well

you know constipation diarrhea

and

also to increase your energy decrease

inflammation in your gut

improve neurotransmitters which actually

make you happier and bring you up and

so whatever’s really going on in the gut

if you get your gut

straightened out your

up here is going to be much better too

there’s definitely a huge connection so

we need probiotics we need um

a healthy gut and uh so many problems

occur when you don’t have that in fact

the derivation

kefir comes from the

think of the turkish word which means

to feel better after you eat

so there you go steve that’s the river

go listen we’ve got a couple of guests

here that are going to be really close

to your heart

because they’re doing something new and

that’s arna and her beautiful daughter i

think uh and she is calling in or

viewing in from ohio and uh arna you are

on and your and your daughter what’s

your daughter’s name

sorry honor i think you’re still muted

hey

hi i know you guys i’ve done an

interview and

this is amazing um we have to we have to

connect up because i can’t hear your

microphone if you could

somehow unclick it because i definitely

want to

talk to you

in fact uh

this

um we don’t have a wonderful child was i

was going to do another interview but i

didn’t quite hook up yet

but we’re still trying to hook up

because

um she’s fairly local to me so i still

can’t hear you for some reason yeah we

had you up arnold we heard your volume

before so either your volume up or that

click that little well

what i see is the mic is

is muted it looks like it’s

yeah it looks like it was muted oh you

know what happened i think arnold you

just put those headset on and many times

that kind of screws it up can you unplug

that and just go through the computer

sorry audience thanks but this will be

worth the wait

not yet is there another button you can

press

i tell you what uh arnold we’re not

going to let you go let me have you sort

of figure that out try it unplug that um

that hit site which you already did and

then try to bring your speaker back to

uh the computer itself the

built-in speaker so stand by just a

moment arna we don’t want to miss you

and the fabulous story

and

dr berg maybe you can set it up for the

audience what’s going on here

well i mean this uh little sweet girl

she had diabetes type one and i did a

whole video interview and uh she did

fantastic uh you know

um there was you know they got her on

keto and things started improving it was

a mere it’s a miracle story so we have

really talk to her somehow we have to

get that mic working

um i was planning on meeting her in

person didn’t quite hook up but uh this

is great that she’s on and i um i think

maybe just keep playing around with your

speaker because there’s something

i’m looking on my end and it says that

there’s a

red arrow through your speaker somehow

yes so you’re saying

i’ve seen it play with that and here’s

what we’re going to do arna i’m going to

leave you unmuted and so we’re just and

it’s it’s great because i know you have

your sweet baby there she’s been very

patient but if we hear you suddenly

blurt out which means your speaker or

your mic is working then uh we’ll go

straight to you in the meantime doc

let’s uh go to someone else here uh

alice uh is coming to us all the way

from hong kong

and uh let me unmute her and alice

you’re on with doctor you know i’m gonna

click this you’re almost on with dr berg

there you go

i knew myself

hello dr fred so glad to have you

[Music]

i have been practicing fasting for a

long time and i now start sharing the

benefit with the people i love

and one of my very close friends she has

diabetes type 2 for many years

and

she had been trying for

fasting like a day or two days she seems

work better

with that because when whenever she

feels hungry i asked her to drink

green juice

and she feel

much better and resolve the hunger but

for intermittent fasting because

maybe one day we eat one main meal or

a little bit more

but she feel very difficult to sustain

because when she eats a meal but she

feel hungry all the time

so she had to snacking in between

so i i

don’t know what could i suggest to her

because i couldn’t really feel

how how difficult is it for to stop the

hunger

okay so this is a good question because

the hunger slash the appetite is the

best way

to know that it’s working when that

appetite goes away and so all this means

that she’s hasn’t gotten into ketosis

yet so that could mean that when she

does eat she’s eating too many carbs

so you have fasting and then you have

the ketogenic diet you must get her on

the healthy version of keto that i

recommend and then what will happen

is then she’s going to convert over to

ketones once that occurs you will not

have an appetite it’s gone it’s like

history so the fact that she’s still

hungry and craving just means that she’s

not in the ketosis yet she hasn’t

converted over and you can

mainly do that by lowering your carbs

and then when she eats i would actually

recommend more

fat in the diet for the purpose of going

longer

yeah that’s what i would do

um and

have her study the

diet on my website i actually usually

download it for free so right on

drburg.com so um

yeah simple problem to solve she’s just

not quite converted into ketones yet but

soon as she is she’ll be able to go a

lot longer

that’s easy to handle if that is um

uh if she can increase the diet more

from fat source energy source

then i will let you know if

how how she goes

and while everyone’s sharing and

i have a second question if is that okay

go ahead

uh because

i re i i have been watching a lot of

your video and talking about the

problem about high crop diets

and it’s actually

a lot of diabetes because we have

overused our pancreas and

and it stock our self to react

and

because

have been

a high

carbohydrate diet for that happy on the

history for many years

and

ketosis

keto diet is not

as long history as

crop diet

and i wonder if we on the ketone diets

for after a long period of time would we

overuse some of the organ related to fat

digestion like the bowel

okay so here’s the thing

i believe

if we take a look at history

um we have been on the ketogenic diet

a tremendously long time period of time

compared to this recent diet

if you take a look at just the evolution

of our bodies

it didn’t start out with all these

carbohydrates

you know we ate what was available

and the carbohydrates that we did eat

were definitely not like the ones

nowadays a lot of the

fruits for example have been hybrids

and

the starches the corn all these things

so um we actually have been on the

ketogenic diet for much much

much longer than we have the

carbohydrate diet and we just haven’t uh

we’ve just forgot about it and so when

we bring our body back to what we were

designed to

live off of we do much better

health-wise

that’s great alice thanks so much for

calling in from uh beautiful hong kong

and wish you well please report back to

us as your health continues to increase

why don’t we go to our next question

and um i think i think um

arnold might be um it might be working

well i hope so can you hear us

oh my goodness this is exciting stand by

we’re gonna get her sweet babies being

so patient yeah we got you

so stand by uh arna get your little girl

and we’ll put you on the air oh great

great

stand by everybody drum roll

here we go there’s the little angel

go ahead arno

good morning dr burke good morning

good morning dr byrd

good morning we’re happy to see you

again this is liliana you know her yes

she’s live now

wow

amazing yes

doing health keto

lots and lots of vegetables

things like that along with the healthy

keto for two years now

amazing

i think we’ve got a delay i don’t hear

you

you’re right um

uh continue sharing just in case it’s

still going on here so it is yeah you

know she was diagnosed with uh type one

diabetes about two and a half years ago

and so we started into that about six

months after her diagnosis

and good news um her most recent um

hba1c exam her blood work uh for the

average blood sugars um

came down to 6.1

wow

wow 12 when she was first diagnosed

well just at once i wanted to share that

with you that’s a miracle

we’re thankful for

our program

wow so my question today is about

um low glycemic sugar non-sug

non-sugar sweeteners

um so i wanted to ask you about that

because we want to be very careful with

what

sugars i’m baking with to make sure that

we don’t

shoot her blood sugar up i make a lot of

our toppings like my little jam here i

make that from scratch

and i use mostly erythritol and stevia

but

what are the best like the the um since

she’s so young

the organic ones like the ones that are

the most natural

what do you recommend that would be

non-glycemic

for a type one child

yes i think you’re on the right track um

the the ones that i probably wouldn’t do

are xylitol because it does have it’s a

little higher but uh the ones that are

zero on the glycemic index would be

solid tall that’s a good one monk fruit

and stevia those three are really really

safe but

you know what what the little the the

manufacturing companies have

sometimes they’ll use like in the stevia

or monk fruit it’s sprayed with

maltodextrin

so unfortunately this is a big problem

because

a lot of our vitamins and a lot of our

sweeteners alternative sweeteners are

sprayed with maltodextrin we don’t know

so i’m starting to research this and and

finding out what what companies don’t

use it you might want to contact them

and say can you send me

kind of some type of proof that you

don’t use maltodextrin because

maltodextrin if you’re spraying

50 percent of it in maltodextrin it

doesn’t have to show up in the

ingredients

and you thinking you’re getting this

great thing when you’re not that’s a big

problem so um

i will be doing a video on this but uh

maybe if you could find a stevia that

says

no maltodextrin that would be perfect

well that’s great listen arna i know you

can’t or probably can’t hear us uh but i

want you to tune in afterwards and watch

the show so you can hear all the stuff

she’s still having a little problem with

her computer but what a fantastic story

and what a sweet little girl to sit on

your lap so patiently i wouldn’t have

made it five seconds so anyway thank you

so much uh arnold for that and uh we

hope to hear from you later

and and going from a 12 a1c to a 6.1 is

literally a miracle because um the a1c

is an average of three months of blood

sugars so i mean this just totally took

her out of the danger zone

and she can live a long healthy life

without any any complications so this is

very good news

and uh i’m excited

well how fantastic i wish she could

answer but she’s not hearing your feed

but she will later when she watches the

show let’s go on to the next question

which asks

uh the chemistry of sugar is nearly

identical to which vitamin audience

what’s vitamins like sugar

and uh let’s go back to uh poor social

media which i have been ignoring for a

little bit will make up for lost time uh

let’s see mary from youtube not a fan of

oh not a fan of the beard it catches

germs and then when you kiss your wife

you’re transferring them to her yuck

what are we going to do about that dr

berg for goodness sake well it’s

friendly germs it’s friendly bacteria

you know so you know what we just have

to spread the love right

that’s great okay uh also from social

media loretta uh we’ll walking eight

miles today at a matter at pace matter

excuse me moderate pace do more harm

than good while fasting

no it does more uh good because you’re

you’re going to increase the benefit of

a lot of things including the lowering

of cortisol including

the improvement of insulin

problems you’ll have insulin become more

sensitive

uh so i think um

it’s going to enhance your your pr

progress and

if you could exercise while you’re in

the fasting mode that’s the ideal

situation so i like it

that’s terrific elise wants to know if

she can add collagen to my coffee when

she’s fasting

no no because that’s going to be protein

that’s one thing you don’t want to add

you can act at nct oil or mct powder or

butter but don’t add the collagen

because it’s a protein it will spike the

blood sugar and um

and that’s uh the same thing goes with

you when you work out you don’t want to

add a protein to your workout like

either a drink or or a supplement called

um branch chain amino acids because

that’s going to spike your blood sugars

interesting and nullify your results got

it okay robin has been doing nomad but

when she eats she gets explosive

diarrhea of course she doesn’t say what

she’s eating but what can she do to

avoid this

that’s usually related to

some new change in this program it could

you know the large amount of vegetables

that you’re not used to it could be some

other thing that is related to like a

sugar alcohol or a keto

snack that

is filled with mct or or even some of

these sugar alcohols

like maltitol for example that will

create that that problem so

i would go through and just see what’s

new and start eliminating that until

that diarrhea goes away because diarrhea

is actually it’s a dangerous situation

if if it’s chronic because you’ll start

losing your nutrients

and your zinc and trace minerals and

sea salt so

you have to fix that and i have a lot of

videos on that so

long term not good

all right well our audience is in total

agreement uh the chemistry of sugar is

nearly identical to which vitamin a

hundred percent of them say vitamin c

they are 100 correct wow so

what does that mean it means that if you

ever

consume

sugar at the same time you’re consuming

vitamin c

vitamin c will get blocked the body will

take on glucose before vitamin c so

think about how many um people try to

get their vitamin c from orange juice or

how many people are taking the vitamin c

in a sweetened

chewable you know with sugar it’s like

and i’m talking about refined sugar

right not like if you were to get the

sugar from berries for example that have

are high in vitamin c you’re not it’s

not going to block that i’m talking

about actual

like glucose so um

this is interesting um

the more carbs that you consume the less

vitamin c you’ll have so

um just uh

that’s some interesting data and i’m

very very very um

interested to share a new video

on vitamin c the shocking

things about vitamin c and i’m hesitant

about saying anything right now because

some of those questions might be coming

up real soon so i will

zip it for a little bit all right

perfect timing uh our next question

which makes sense and i think you just

spoke of most of the world’s vitamin c

is made from sugar that’s a true false

is it or is it not audience

okay

get on that and let’s see why don’t we

go back to our green room and nancy

from georgia has been extraordinarily

patient waiting there and nancy unmute

yourself dear and you’re on with dr byrd

hey dr burke

hello

okay well i always quit your program

because you said you you’re going veto

i’m very uh you’re going vegetarian so

but um

the question i have is that i’m a 50

year old menopausal woman and i have um

have done diets all my life

and then um

uh recently stopped and um

i was like noticing that i have um oh i

stopped dieting but i noticed i i gotta

i’ve got a big belly and a big behind

and that’s not right i don’t know why i

have that so i get i thought well gosh

maybe it’s diet coke because i drank

that a lot and

so i gave that up for almost a year and

uh i didn’t see a big real big change so

do you have any

uh explanation for my

big bottom and big belly

well um the question that i’m gonna have

is probably i did how long you’ve been

on the ketogenic diet with in a minute

of fasting um well about

six or eight months

okay and how many meals a day do you

have

two

okay and um

is there

would you say that you’re doing it by

the book or are you kind of doing it

close or not not perfect um i’m

i was doing it for six months for sure

buy the book

okay and did you find that your appetite

went away when you did that yes

did your clothes feel a little bit

looser

not

maybe a little but not very much

yeah i guess so yeah they did yeah okay

and before this ketogenic diet have you

been on a good amount of carbs for many

years

yes sir yes

okay so this is what i would do i i just

think that the you have some

the rate at which it’s working is slower

than you would like it and that i

understand that i think the uh the thing

that i would do if i were you is i would

i would do omad that’s one meal a day

especially if you’re post menopausal a

lot of

my clients that were menopausal just did

one meal a day and they did a big meal

and then of course i would try to get

those carbs down even lower and then

what i would do

once a week

go a little longer go like periodic

prolonged fasting

because what’s happening is

you have to get rid of the fat off your

liver before some of the belly starts

going

and so once you do this a little bit

more strict um you’re going to find that

um and i’m talking about fasting

for like 23 hours now the liver has a

chance to really dump all that fat and

then the belly can then

shrink a lot faster

i think

because of the years that you haven’t

been doing it just it’s just more it’s

it’s more stubborn and you just have to

we’re dealing with uh

time

uh and correcting a

lifelong problem and unfortunately

you have to be more strict some people

might even need to do

more more periodic prolonged fasting

like maybe once a week before 48 hours

every

every day it’s it’s all mad and then

they start really seeing results

especially

menopause so

that’s what i would recommend i think

that will work

um and it’s frustrating because you

might see other people especially men do

it and they lose all this weight and

then you’re like wait a second

with my chopped liver it just has to do

with um

hormone you know women have different

hormones with estrogen and so

i would go start with omad and i think

that’s going to help you

okay well thank you dr berg

you’re welcome

good luck with that nancy uh

and uh let’s see we’ve had good luck

with questions today the audience is

right on it the next one

uh true false uh most of the world’s

vitamin c is made from sugar and

90 of our respondents say false 10 say

true

that’s interesting the answer is that’s

a true statement it’s made from d

glucose from corn

so that’s how they make vitamin c and

it’s

80 of it comes from china and the rest

comes from two main chemical companies

um they use this uh as a form called

ascorbic acid and so you’re thinking wow

ascorbic acid that’s vitamin c well

that’s only because they they change the

definition of it in the dictionary so

the vitamin c in nature is very

different than the vitamin c you get um

from a pill that you buy on amazon

i looked at the top um 10

companies that sell the most vitamin c

on even amazon.com every single one of

them it’s just ascorbic acid it’s all

synthetic

and so that’s where it’s coming from but

it’s so cheap

you can you can buy it um

for just pennies i mean this is so cheap

so um

unfortunately you think you’re getting

the real thing when it’s fake

that’s kind of a

going to be part of the video i’m going

to release on that

here you think you’re getting some

vitamin c when in fact you’re getting an

imitation

imitated version

of a fraction of the vitamin c complex

that nature

was you know nature’s design it’s not

even remotely close to that

interesting oh audience only 10 got that

right well we’ll give another

opportunity to

uh to uh get a much better result uh

meantime mina

from youtube i have a high platelet

count i’m taking vitamin d3 5000 if

that’s a brand would it be necessary

together with k2 vitamin k2

yeah

if you take vitamin d3 short term

i think it’s fine but

if you’re doing it long term make sure

you include the k2 in there because the

does a lot

it helps to work with vitamin d because

think about what vitamin d does it’s

it’s increasing

the absorption of calcium into the blood

and you know

sometimes people are concerned about

this uh i mean you you have to take a

lot of it over a long period of time but

some people are concerned with too much

calcium in the blood it’s called

hypercalcemia risk of kidney stones etc

but if you take vitamin d

d2 i’m sorry k2

it kind of protects you from excessive

calcium in the soft tissues

and so

i like the combination of d3 and k2

together and the right blend and that

way you can

get the benefit of not having too much

calcium plus all the other benefits that

k2 has

more energy

better solid bones less osteopenia

osteoporosis

and it has many other benefits

wow that’s terrific another question

will it break my fast this one from

chandra

a chandra excuse me will mct oil splenda

and butter in my coffee break my fast

okay so

it’s not going to stimulate insulin all

right so that’s one thing

um but you’re still consuming something

it’s not going to

interfere with your fasting benefits too

much

other than this one little thing

so when you’re doing fasting right

people are saying is this gonna this

food is gonna break my fast it’s gonna

break my ketosis

i wanna clarify something

if you’re

trying to lose weight

you want to

burn your own ketones right

i can give you ketones right now

whether it’s mct oil or just straight

ketones

and that’s not going to break your

ketosis

but it’s going to slow down your weight

loss why because

now the body can use that as fuel and it

doesn’t have to use your own ketones it

doesn’t have to use your own fat

so if you’re trying to lose weight you

don’t want to be adding butter or mct

oil to your coffee you don’t want to be

consuming

any mct oil or things like that because

that’s going to lessen your ability for

your body to go after your own fat

reserves so

the only reason to bring it up is if

you’re if you’re struggling like nancy

for example you don’t want to add these

extra fats okay eat the fat that’s

normally within the protein but don’t

add the extra it’s an important point

sorry chandra you’re gonna have to knock

it off uh let’s see opal from youtube uh

was diagnosed with breast cancer three

weeks ago we’re sorry to hear that and

have had surgery i’m going for chemo

this wednesday what foods do i need to

avoid and what should i eat more of

if you have cancer and this is just my

personal

viewpoint based on the research i did

you should probably

search my videos on cancer and watch the

most recent one because i stumbled on

some fascinating information that led me

to even

doing my own research on mice in europe

right now we’re doing a whole research

on that and quite fascinating

information because i um you know you

can get in big trouble when you talk

about cancer

on the internet

so we decided hey let’s just do the

study and report we found um

it’s not even necessarily just going on

keto it’s

it’s a little bit more than that

instead of telling you what foods to eat

i’m just going to refer you to that

video and you could actually

watch that

and take notes there’s there’s uh

definitely a

a protocol that i would recommend that

because the problem you’re dealing with

is uh how do you starve off

this cancer there’s a

there’s some stuff you need to know

about before

you just randomly kind of just

eat this or eat that you have to

understand like what causes cancer and

and how to

do this with a strategy

in mind so um because cancer can

consume other things other than sugar so

of course

just by eliminating sugar doesn’t

guarantee that

you won’t fuel that cancer

wow well um our hearts go out to you

best of luck with that treatment

and diet

jack is on high blood pressure meds and

wants to take nutritional yeast i’m a

freak for nutritional yeast of course

i’ve been told that that’s not a good

idea your thoughts

it’s false information um

nutritional yeast does not increase

blood pressure in fact

it gives you the b vitamins that help

reduce stress which can actually help

you

do the opposite

the other important two things to know

about blood pressure

is that

a low vitamin d

will cause high blood pressure also low

potassium will cause it

and

many times

you might not have any symptoms from

having high blood pressure because the

body is compensating

for um

for a weak heart and so it just

increases the pressure to keep the same

amount of oxygen and

nutrition to your cells

it’s important to

know what’s causing that high blood

pressure

and uh

unfortunately

in the medical profession they don’t

look deep enough they say well

hypertension that’s it’s caused by

you’re eating too much salt it’s

genetics it’s stress

but there there’s multiple causes to

hypertension 90 of all hypertension is

um it’s called essential

essential hypertension what does that

mean it means unknown cause

um i’ve done videos on that you should

watch this and get the full um scoop on

on what’s really underneath this thing

okay that’s terrific by the way one of

our earlier arna uh had asked i wanted

to ask about a

maltitol and sweetener i keep seeing the

ingredient listed store-bought keto

treats or candies is maltitol any good

it’s the worst

it is the worst

in fact i think it has a glycemic index

of like over 50 and that’s in a small

small amount if you increase the amount

it’s going to do nasty things to your

blood sugars i can’t even

i can’t believe they still have that

they’re out there and

put in sugar-free candy and things like

that

maltitol is the um

is the worst um sugar alcohol

oh good grief

terrible i’m sorry steve yeah that’s bad

anyway

uh i’ll just stick with double

cheeseburgers okay next question which

has more vitamin c

lemons or peppers more vitamin c lemons

or peppers audience climb on that please

and we’ve got someone that just popped

in stephanie from maryland uh if she can

hear us let’s see if i can bring her on

stephanie uh can you hear us dear

i don’t think she can we’ll see if she

can

work on that in the meantime let’s go

back to social media

and let’s see here what do we have um

dip

as he’s known wants to know um what do

you recommend for fatty liver with just

dysleptemia this dyslipidemia

yeah so there’s a there’s a problem with

the lipids

the thing with the fatty liver is that

usually you’re going to look down and

your belly is going to be sticking out

because there’s uh

when the liver fills up with fat it

spills off into the other organs and

around the organs so

i mean there’s a really powerful study i

put a video on this that you can drop

fifty percent of that fat on your liver

in two weeks if you’re doing the healthy

version of keto with um well if you’re

doing keto i should just say keto

ketogenic diet but if you’re going to

add fasting to that and then you’re

going to add maybe um

the type of foods that i recommend for a

fatty liver which is kind of like

cruciferous maybe you add some bile

salts and choline

boy now you’re going to really see some

changes because think about this

[Music]

bile in your made from your liver

helps you get rid of excess cholesterol

and other lipids okay but if your liver

is fatty you’re not going to make the

bile that you would normally make so now

we get a backup of this

these lipids which are not not a good

thing so anything that you can do to

increase

your production of bile would help with

the fatty liver and also lipids

and i’ve talked about that in a lot of

videos i’ll be releasing another video

like apple cider vinegar is a good thing

the b vitamins are another great thing

purify bile salts are another thing it’s

in the gallbladder formula so there’s a

lot of things you can do

but fasting

and low carbs is the answer because what

what’s really behind the fatty liver is

consuming too many carbohydrates

all right the disciplined audience joe

from youtube if i have unhealthy gut

microbiome would i be more likely to

have uncontrollable hunger urges that’s

interesting

that’s that’s for sure that’s for sure

there are so many things you can get rid

of by

making sure you have the right

of good bacteria in your gut so many

things from hunger to blood sugar

fluctuations to

mood disorders

i mean it’s it’s uh if in doubt

you know start increasing

your probiotics you can do it through

food fermented sauerkraut or kimchi

something like that or even kefir but

you’d be surprised

like how many people are missing that

and they try all these other things but

they omit the probiotics

which

can help you sleep in fact they can help

you sleep

taking before bed

it’s quite amazing well there you have

it it does have a correlation okay so

our last question was which has more

vitamin c lemons or or peppers and this

is a chance for the audience to redeem

themselves i hope they’re right because

95 percent say peppers five percent say

lemon

they are right it’s peppers yay peppers

um are loaded with vitamin c

and um i mean lemons if you eat the peel

you take the whole lemon like i did this

morning you put in a blender i put the

uh my electrolytes in it fill up with

water blend it up and drink the whole

thing

seeds and all

they’re not going to bother you you’re

going to get more vitamin c you’re going

to get more bioflavonoids from that skin

the outer part and the white part

underneath it so that’s something i

would recommend but peppers

okay

which by the way are very easy to grow

in your garden they just like they don’t

die i mean they just survive and they

grow like crazy and you don’t have to do

much to them you don’t even barely have

to water them so you grow these peppers

start putting them in make your salsas

make different things eat them

um raw on your salad

fantastic amount of vitamin c

peppers are a superfood for vitamin c

that’s fantastic okay let’s see here the

final question for the day is a true

falsehood

scurvy can be cured with absorbic

acid audience true or false

so we’ll get on to that let’s see

stephanie can you hear us

we’re trying to get her on but no she

has a little problem i see stephanie but

i don’t hear her i know she i don’t

either so and she doesn’t hear us it

seems like she’s not leaping up with

excitement

but anyway can you hear me now oh my

goodness

stephanie i’m going to get you on the

screen

uh there we go good morning my question

is um so

i’m diabetic

and

i also i had like a fatty liver

but i’m very skinny

so i’ve been

doing the intermittent fasting to lose

my belly

but i’m trying to gain weight everywhere

else so

i’m struggling

hey i hear you i you know

when i was i think in high school i

tried to gain more weight and so

i started to of course

do the thing that everyone was doing

about i bought the weight loss powders

which i happen i didn’t happen to

understand what maltodextrin is as the

first ingredient but um you know they

always say well eat more carbs to gain
