I wanted to create this quick video on a

question someone had why did Kiko spike

my heart rate so let’s just go through

this normally if your pulse rate is

higher it’s because you have low

potassium and that could come from

eating too much sugar or actually taking

too much salt which indirectly lowers

the potassium because potassium Calmes

the heart down or let’s say you’re

taking diuretics that could deplete your

potassium or you’re not consuming enough

vegetables so potassium is like the most

important thing for regulation of heart

rate the other thing is if you’re

deficient in potassium it can cause the

heart to work harder and it can make a

pounding sound you can even hear it in

your ear and that usually comes from

consuming a lot of carbohydrates or

sugar something like that so this could

be the reason why your heart rate is low

and then you just want to take

electrolyte powder you consume more

vegetables stop the sugar you could

consume more salt as you have more

potassium but if you have low potassium

you don’t want to eat a lot of salt

because you want to look at the ratio

those ratios are actually more important

than even the total amounts and of

course the diuretics you have to get

with your doctor on that point the next

reason is you have low vitamin b1

because you’re consuming too much sugar

or grains or you’re on metformin which

depletes b1 by the way in which case you

need to take nutritional yeast and that

should bring the heart rate down there’s

one less thing the gallbladder when you

start keto you’re doing more fats if you

are not used to that many fats and you

can’t tolerate that many fats that can

create pressure in the organs and

congestion and actually indirectly put

pressure on the heart which can speed up

the pulse rate these two are not the

issue then what you do is you want to

cut down on some of the fats especially

MCT oil the little keto bombs and any

extra types of fats that you’re

consuming just cut that down a little

bit and that should help you one other

thing you can do is you can actually

massage the little bile ducts around

that area I put a link down below on

it’s called gallbladder flushing you’re

not actually fleshing out the

gallbladder but you’re actually

releasing the pressure that’s something

you can do as well if you feel a lot of

bloating especially after eating
