in this video we’re going to talk about

the reason why you are tired on the

ketogenic diet now I’ve done other

videos on this and one of the reasons

why you might be tired is that you’re

not sleeping okay or you’re stressed or

you have nutritional deficiencies or

you’re in the middle of the adaptation

face when you’re adapting from burning

sugar fuel and then going into fat feel

okay in that transition phase which

usually takes between three days four

days and maybe up to a week you can have

something called keto fatigue okay and

that could be why you’re tired in which

case you just take B vitamins BAM should

handle it or maybe some potassium but I

wanted I wanted to create a video that

goes beyond that what produces energy in

your body is something called them

mitochondria okay the mitochondria are

little energy factories these are the

powerhouses in your cells they generate

all the energy they take the food that

you eat and turn it into something

called ATP which is kind of the energy

currency of your body now here’s what’s

interesting

many many illnesses including cancer

diabetes autoimmune diseases all start

with a breakdown of the mitochondria

okay so that’s the first thing that

happens and then a whole bunch of other

things happen after that and a lot of

times doctors will treat this thing over

here but they don’t fix the mitochondria

it’s amazing doctors go through massive

amounts of schooling training medical

school learning biochemistry but there’s

not this connection between the body

chemistry and the food that you eat or

the nutrition that you eat because these

mitochondria run on certain vitamins and

even minerals so that’s a real missing

piece of the puzzle

so the mitochondria is under constant

assault from metals like iron and copper

have other heavy metals smoking

pollution chemicals toxins even a lot of

exercise will create free radicals that

will damage the mitochondria free

radicals are things that make the cell

membrane unstable okay

radiation GMO foods viruses and other

microbes high levels of sugar as in

diabetes or prediabetes high levels of

insulin can all damage the mitochondria

stress can damage the mitochondria so

all of this collectively could be called

oxidative stress because it involves

oxygen which is I’m going to do another

seminar on that so you have this

oxidation this rusting out this damaging

effect on the different parts of the

mitochondria the cell membrane the genes

the DNA etc okay so you have all this so

then on the flip side your body has

antioxidants okay that kind of

neutralize the oxidation so it’s a

constant balance of these two things

going back and forth your body makes

antioxidants and you get them from the

food now there are other elements and

plants called phytonutrients fight to a

meaning plant nutrients or

phytochemicals okay that are present in

vegetables and a lot of other foods nuts

and seeds and they’re considered the

super foods right like cruciferous

vegetables are real high in

phytonutrients and there are other

nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids which

are on fish oil grass-fed beef dairy

that also act as antioxidants certain

trace minerals like selenium zinc

manganese all act as Co helpers or

cofactors to help this process occur you

have the B vitamins that also help this

process occur now the problem is when

you search antioxidants online you’re

gonna see a lot of bad stuff like it

actually increasing risk for cancer and

illnesses and all sorts of things but of

course they don’t tell you the quality

of that antioxidant if it’s synthetic or

natural or if it’s from food or or it’s

made artificially but if you actually

read the study you’re gonna find that

those antioxidants that cause damage are

all synthetic they’re not natural okay

beta-carotene vitamin E vitamin C and so

you wanted to stay away from now so you

want to get most of your antiox

it’s from food or food concentrates okay

like a green powder wheatgrass juice

powder or actual just food itself

because if you’re doing keto

intermittent fasting without the

quantity of vegetable and I’m talking

about high quality vegetables you’re not

going to be able to repair this right

here so recently I had a couple of

people send in their food log to see

what they were eating and find out why

they were tired okay really it was just

the quality of food I mean one person

had some side salad of Caesar salad with

some peanut butter a piece of meat and

some cheese now the other person was

consuming chicken I think it was coconut

oil and some spinach but the spinach was

creamed spinach it was completely cooked

there was no nutrition left so when you

heat these vegetables you kill the key

enzymes in the phytonutrients in there

so you really have to look at the

quality so for those people I had them

do an experiment okay I wanted them to

consume a real high quality plant-based

shake for one week and see if it would

spike their energy so this is what they

did they had kale so I had them buy some

kale chop it up keeping the freezer well

actually it was the kale it was parsley

in beet tops okay with a little bit of

berries it was either blackberries

raspberries so they made this shake with

water they blended it they had one

shaking a day okay it was a nice big

shake in one week all three people that

told me they were exhausted had massive

amounts of energy just by adding that

one little drink so it’s really really

important to put some attention and

focus on repairing this mitochondria and

enhancing your phytonutrients if you

want to start building up your energy

because this is what makes your energy

you got to take care of it and also I’m

not to mention you’re going to prevent

and avoid a lot of illnesses down the

road as well now keto in general

enhances mitochondrial function so keto

can actually act as a protective thing

but intermittent fasting also will help

you I’m going to introduce you to know

word called my toffee G ok my toffee G

what is my toffee G well it’s basically

a toffee G cleaning up the dysfunctional

mitochondrion okay if you haven’t heard

about a toffee G that’s basically your

body is recycling damaged cells and

damaged mitochondria so your body has a

capacity to take the damaged ones or the

damaged parts and recycle them and make

new mitochondria okay so when a toff of

G or your body goes into that mode and

starts cleaning up the damaged

mitochondria it’s called my toffee G and

guess what triggers my toffee G in a

minute fasting you want to work up to

about 18 hours of fasting okay

minimally then you can have an eating

window of six hours and then if you can

gradually shrink your eating window to

four hours giving your body 20 hours and

fasting you can enhance this even more

so the combination of keto with all

these phytonutrients called healthy

ketosis and intimate fasting can greatly

improve and fix your mitochondria I’m

giving you a ton of energy and the

reason I know there’s a problem with

this is simply because when you go to a

grocery store

it’s everything’s lined with the 5-hour

energy drinks right what does it mean

everyone’s tired or if you look at

Starbucks they have a line of cars

around there even like all day long

people are exhausted it’s because

they’re not consuming enough of the

phytonutrients okay on that note go

ahead and start eating more greens and

get some more energy so we’ve been

getting a lot of success stories but I

don’t have your success story yet so
