thank you

welcome back everyone we’re here with

another q a Friday morning for those of

you that are on the east coast of course

there’s probably a lot of other people

that’s the middle of the night but we

have people from all over the world uh

that are watching tuning in so if you

have any questions go ahead and ask away

on social media anything that I

recommend or say is has no intention to

diagnose your diseases or cure any

diseases or illnesses I’m just going to

give you

um some things to study and look at and

evaluate yourself and decide on your own

all right Steve all right let’s kick it

off

kick it off of social media this morning

pepper from YouTube is it better to take

full flush niacin in the morning or in

the evening

um

I think it doesn’t really matter but um

as far as the time of the day because

it’s not a a fat soluble nutrient

um it’s water soluble so you can take it

on an empty stomach so you can take it

in the morning or at night but you know

sometimes I mean if it’s

creates that flushing response and

you’re right before bed maybe that might

not be the best idea but it’s not it’s

not important when you take it actually

all right very good well we’ve got uh

coming up Andrew in a bit I was going to

talk about his wife’s bloating so why

don’t we talk about bloating early from

social media Sandy from YouTube what can

I do about bloating it seems everything

I eat contributes to bloating I cannot

lose my belly fat even though I have

lost 80 pounds good for you so far on a

strict keto I do take bile salts

probiotics and apple cider vinegar what

do you think doc

well all those are really good things

but the most important thing is to

realize that the bloating actually is in

your digestive system which means it

involves food which means the most

important thing to do is to you have to

figure out what is bloating you and then

avoid it

um and it’s usually just kind of like

cutting things out but I can give you

the most common reasons why people bloat

if you think about what bloating is it’s

a gas and it comes from the microbes

eating certain things and it’s called

fermentation so it’s fermenting just

like you would see bread Rising if you

add yeast or those little bubbly things

in champagne or beer that’s from the

microbes eating something that’s

creating this gas sanding in your gut so

we have a problem with fermentation

and chances are you’re feeding too much

of the wrong thing so what these

microbes live on are called I don’t know

if you’ve ever heard this before Steve

but they’re called

carbohydrates have you ever heard of

that never heard of it

yeah so carbohydrates are really a

combination of the sugar

the fiber and the starch so all three of

those can be great food for microbes so

what you want to do is um cut down those

um so like definitely the the low

hanging fruit would be omit the fruit

amid the grains the beans things like

that

um

like especially like the Breads and

pastas and Swirls and things like that

and sugars but also like the sugar

alcohols like um the so-called healthy

keto friendly but they’re not bloat

friendly you have um like the maltitol

the Xylitol the erythritol the Mannitol

all the talls

um not good if you have uh bloating they

will blow you more because they’re sugar

alcohols and all these new newfangled uh

functional fibers like the soluble corn

fiber and the tapioca fiber and the

polydactros all this all these funny new

names that they’re putting out in a lot

of the ingredients and they say it’s

fibroids but they’re manufactured your

body is going to blow from them so you

got to be careful of those and then you

also have the prebiotics right you uh

the so-called healthy prebox because

they’re all in the like the super greens

product the superfoods and the

plant-based proteins they put these

prebiotics and that would be like inulin

um gather certain seeds certain fibers

that will bloat you so you gotta avoid

those unfortunately so you just you need

to isolate like when does blowing start

okay what did I just eat and maybe start

cutting down uh vegetables too but

usually if you cook your vegetables or

consume like the fermented ones like

sauerkraut or pickles or kimchi you’re

going to be better off or even you cook

them or just reduce them that’s going to

help you I personally cannot digest

broccoli for some reason I bloat like

crazy but I can do cabbage other people

can’t do cabbage so you want to just

isolate what it is that is bloating you

and then avoid it and then start doing

intermittent fasting

and um

I tell you what I’ll just create a video

on this real this next week so you could

uh get the full scoop but boy if you

just know these basic things you can

avoid a lot of misery I used to have

bloating for years and I didn’t know I

would be taking remedies and take

antacids and

over the counter medication so it was

like going in the wrong direction really

fast

all right so uh anyway uh bloating

bloating here’s Malcolm X from YouTube

I’m really underweight now see that

makes me mad I would love to be

underweight but he says how many grams

of carbs should I be eating without

worrying about increases in my blood

sugar levels and insulin resistance

the magic number is 50 net carbs so

don’t go over 50 net carbs so that means

you’re minusing the fiber

um in some of the foods but when we’re

talking about leafy green vegetables and

salads

um don’t even count those you can eat we

want you to have more of those unless

you’re a bloater and you have some

issues with that so

um the magic number is 50 grams or less

net carbs

all right very good go Malcolm let’s see

Tanya from London uh her name is

actually Tanya from London from YouTube

please share your advice on how to clear

up a bladder infection after having

kidney stone

laser surgery I’m starting on healthy

keto tomorrow I guess she’s left with a

bladder infection

one really good remedy is to take

something called methylene blue okay

take it in the morning 20 drops in a

glass of water it doesn’t taste good so

I would add some electrolytes in there

and then what happens is like uh use a

straw or your lips will turn blue

and then it’s going to go in your body

and it’s between the first and second or

third day you notice your urine is going

to be green because when you add yellow

to Blue you get green and that green

that methylene blue is a really good

natural well I wouldn’t say natural

instead of synthetic but it’s a it’s a

really good non-invasive way

to help bladder infections because you

have all this blue dye that’s very

antimicrobial that’s going to

Wipe Out the bad guys in your bladder

that’s a really good way to do it and

there’s a lot of research on that as

well in fact methylene blue is one of

the first drugs that was ever prescribed

but you can get it over the counter and

I have videos on it very interesting

product all right terrific let’s kick it

off with today’s first question and this

is a great relief for the audience is a

true falser meaning they’ve got a 50

chance of being brilliant and there it

is Doc

all right true or false

the free cholesterol molecule

in your blood

well let me just let me just re let me

just redo this question true or false

the free clef the free cholesterol

molecule does not exist in the blood

all right what do you think audience

speaking of the audience it is just huge

as usual so we’d like to take a moment

out to say a good morning to all our

viewers joining us today from the UK

Canada Mexico Abu Dhabi Bulgaria

Switzerland South Africa

Uganda excuse me France Australia Jordan

Finland Singapore cashmere

Ghana

Martis sorry Terry probably didn’t say

that right maritus Meritus Greece

Armenia Italy Egypt Chile Germany

Pakistan Nigeria Israel Norway Saudi

Arabia Algeria Oman Austria the

Netherlands the Virgin Islands haven’t

heard from them for a while Trinidad and

Tobago Japan Taiwan the Philippines the

United Arab Emirates Poland to Czech

Republic Malaysia Brunel

Sweden India New Zealand Peru

Colombia and by the way for Arna Belgium

he’s going to be joining us after a

while and then of course everybody

across these United States says thanks

for everybody in the states and around

the world for your attention and you

know to that end it’s a little later in

Belgium not uncomfortably it’s probably

about four or five o’clock there is my

guess so why don’t we kick things off in

our green room with Arna if I said his

name right and Arna unmute yourself

and you’re on with your one question in

30 seconds for Dr Berg go

okay hello Dr Burke my question is

twofold and relates to building muscle

I’ve been told I need about 3 000

calories a day and two times my weight

in kilograms um in proteins a day what

are some good sources for proteins and

the most important how can I make sure I

consume enough calories a day which

seems a bit hard without consuming

carbohydrates and sugars also

intermittent fasting is recommended how

do you combine that with protein intake

since your body can only take in x

amount of proteins every few hours if I

were to eat only one or two meals a day

I cannot get the 150 to 160 grams

required unless of course I drink

multiple protein shakes or shakes or

other supplements thank you

yes well um how old are you

37 okay and how much do you weigh right

now

um like

like in between 75 and 80 kilograms

and how tall are you

about 180 meters

[Music]

how many feet would you be as I have to

convert that to think I think how tall

you are 1.8

I close to Six Feet

okay okay good so you want to gain

weight this is um a good question it’s

um you’re you’re young and you you don’t

want to lose weight and that’s the

problem when you cut out the carbs right

um here’s here’s some here’s some tips

on that uh carbs stimulant insulin

insulin is anabolic it makes things get

bigger and so that’s why

um we don’t want to do it on keto

however

um protein

there’s only so much you can uh

digest but um but here’s the thing

um

protein does also trigger insulin

so it can actually help you on that

angle protein will um at the same time

stimulate another hormone called

glucagon so we have this kind of this

insulin effect but it’s not as bad as

carbs because we have these other

hormones involved

so

um if you’re trying to gain weight

um yeah you can go ahead and um get some

of this sugar indirectly by eating a

little bit more protein now what you’re

trying to do is really hard because

that’s a lot of protein to eat within

two meals

so

you’re fairly Young

you got to find out

do you have insulin resistance do you

have blood sugar problems there is about

30 of the population that does not have

insulin resistance they don’t have

problems with blood sugars and they can

get away with

more of these these proteins so without

creating a problem so what I would do is

I would just kind of go as much as you

can and go not not by measuring grams or

or kilograms or anything like that but

just go how you feel because

you’re going to start eating and you’re

gonna like oh I am stuffed and then if

you keep stuffing yourself that’s not

what that’s not healthy it’s not going

to be good it’s not the way to gain

weight

um this is why a lot of bodybuilders and

things they eat like every hour and they

just they just like kind of do that but

then you get this insulin Spike and they

end up having a lot of problems when

they get older with this issue so I

would um

beef up no pun intended your workouts

more than anything else and what I would

do

because I would do two meals and I would

space them out fairly like maybe one in

the morning and one at dinner so that

way you have this nice time to let your

digestive system rather than have them

too close together so you have somewhat

of an appetite and then what I would do

is I would I would hit your carbs at 50

grams

um and I would also um go for quality

protein I wouldn’t do protein powders I

would do real protein and the best is

going to be eggs eggs eggs grass-fed

meat and fish and seafood

um

that’s what I would do and then I would

uh you know hit the hit the weights hard

and I would um get yourself a lot of

rest in between but uh and there’s other

things that you can do to tweak things

like creatinine other products but um go

with your ability to digest that food

and then don’t don’t worry about trying

to reach a certain amount because

there’s too many variables it’s too hard

to figure that out and and those numbers

too are very arbitrary based on

you know opinions and things like that

thank you

you’re welcome all right thanks very

much so we want you to come back in a

couple of weeks just enormous looking

like Arnold so we’ll see hopefully all

that works great okay thanks for uh

getting in touch with us Arna and let’s

see let’s go back to social media if we

will uh no answers from the no there is

an answer already from quiz question

number one so let’s take that and that

question asked true false the free

cholesterol molecule does not exist in

the blood or however you said it Dr Berg

but they seem to have gotten the point

because 60 percent of the respondents

say it is or that jumped it is false and

forty percent say it’s true

okay so here’s the answer free class the

free cholesterol molecule does not exist

in your blood you know when you get a a

cholesterol test right it says total

cholesterol in your mind you might think

you have cholesterol floating through

your blood that is absolutely not true

you have no free cholesterol in your

blood

it it can’t it can’t move it has to be

attached to a protein to move and that’s

why that’s why then you look at the um

the protein lipoproteins which are fat

protein molecules which are like the LDL

the HDL things like that so that’s how

cholesterol exists not as free

cholesterol which is interesting so

um when you look at the total

cholesterol you could pretty much ignore

that don’t even look at it just go into

how these is cholesterol packaged and

what then you can understand what’s

happening based on that data but you

probably need a lot more data but the

point is that I come

these fats need a shuttle and that’s why

we have the lipoproteins

all right very good let’s go back to

YouTube where

melsy excuse me is asking is iodine good

for Hashimoto’s I’m getting conflicting

information and it’s so confusing

well you don’t want to start taking more

than you need it’s not that you want to

deprive yourself you want to have an

adequate amount but it’s not really the

remedy that you need for Hashimoto’s

because Hashimoto’s is an autoimmune

disease it’s not a deficiency of iodine

even though the idea needs I I’m even

though the thyroid needs iodine

um Hashimoto’s is autoimmune it’s not

just a regular hypothyroid deficiency of

iodine so um it’s usually stemming from

the gut

um and you have to avoid gluten for sure

um but um the best mineral Trace mineral

to take for Hashimoto’s is selenium okay

but but don’t be afraid of taking some

iodine too so usually when you take a

trace mineral like a you know seleniums

product there’s also iodine in there

don’t worry about that but just but

iodine is not the primary thing that you

need it’s selenium

all right very good and here’s someone

probing you with a personal question

Nori from Facebook wants to know Dr Berg

what do you use as a sugar substitute

um I use I like using

erythritol and monk fruit and then

Stevia I like that a lot and um

Xylitol tastes is good for people that

don’t like they have to have sugar so

they have to something have something

that tastes just like sugar

um so xylitol is good the problem is

with Xylitol for some people it does

it’s not zero on the glycemic index like

erythritol it’s like 30. but if you’re

having small amounts it’s not a big deal

so xylitol’s um

it’s a good one that tastes just like

sugar especially if you want to put

something in your coffee you don’t want

to put Stevia but the worst sugar

alcohol would be Mannitol because that’s

that’s like I don’t even I can’t even

believe that’s a sugar alcohol because

it’s it really will spike your blood

sugars big time huh well that’s not good

but our questions are great and here’s

the next one doc

okay

within which organ within which body

organ

does zinc occur at the highest levels

All Right audience climbing on that

and we’re talking about the storages ink

what organ has the most concentrated

zinc

all right well there’s other people

around the world that are anxious to

become part of the show and the list and

so we’d like to also say a shout out to

our other viewers joining us from South

Korea Aruba Dubai turkey Barbados Malta

and Bermuda and of course Belgium in a

salute to Arna and so welcome folks

that’s terrific okay Christy from

Facebook do you still recommend

photamine for a B1 deficiency

very good question I recommend

benphotamine for very specific B vitamin

deficiencies the ones that you have on

your feet in your hands like um as a

peripheral neuropathy from diabetes or

other reasons

um when we get into a b deficiency in

your brain then photamine apparently

doesn’t work as good

so you need another type of B1 uh aloe I

think it’s called aloe thionine is a

good one it’s from garlic and I have

some data on that on my website you can

check it out it’s a natural form of B1

but it also is lipotropic it’s it’s fat

soluble so it does penetrate the brain

much better than

um infotamine does but benphotamine is a

fat soluble vitamin but it’s better for

the peripheral nerves

okay very good speaking of muscles which

is included in some of our questions

today and from YouTube I need to build

muscle mass I’m 72 years old and 109

pounds and I’m recovery from intestinal

issues

well then stay tuned because that’s one

of our questions and uh

um we’re going to be answering this one

question what is the only

um

thing that can directly

make Muscle okay that can make your

muscles get bigger there’s only one

thing

so stay tuned for that all right Ann

stand by looks like we’re gonna have an

answer for you

okay uh Craig from Facebook what do I do

to treat and it’s an acronym Nash

n-a-s-h

yeah we’re talking about a fatty liver

um

um you need to cut the carbs out of your

diet and you need to have

um very healthy ingredients like big

salads cruciferous vegetables a great

product would be milk thistle it’s uh

has a lot of research behind a fatty

liver

and um

and then also

um

garlic is good bitter vegetables like

arugula and dandelion greens and some of

these other ones

um but you have to cut down the carbs of

course and

uh no alcohol if you want to restore

that liver all right very good good luck

with that Nathan from YouTube what are

your thoughts about taking tryptophan

for helping sleep

I like it I think it’s a natural thing

you must take it on an empty stomach

because it competes with other proteins

to make it work

um but tryptophan is one of the

ingredients in my sleep formula because

it’s good it’s um it actually can

convert into serotonin and melatonin and

and help you drift off into a wonderful

night’s sleep and uh it’s virtually no

side effects wow that’s wonderful

okay let’s see

I know that’s tryptophan where we went

there hang on just a second oh why don’t

we get back to the uh uh quickly

responding audience they’ve got an

answer for uh what body part organ does

zinc occur in the highest levels so

audience drum roll please uh 70 of our

respondents say it is the liver 10 save

is the pancreas 10 say it’s the brain

and ten percent say it’s the genitals

Terry

State oh wow prostate prostate is the

answer so with that qualifies genitals

it’s part of the genitals it’s a it’s a

it’s a storage and a pump and it

produces um part of the semen so it is

part of the whole apparatus there and um

zinc is

um really important in fertility and

involved in hundreds of different

enzomatic biochemical reactions

and so we need that zinc uh for

fertility reasons so our bodies will

allocate a good amount the most amount

in your prostate interesting all right

well ten percent uh give yourself a

round of applause uh now let’s go

as a side benefit an extra tip at no

charge

um men that have enlarged prostates

usually always are low in zinc wow

there’s a big correlation between low

zinc

and prostate enlargement as well as low

testosterone

well I know a guy with an enlarged

prostate so I’ll be sure to tell him

about that maybe I’ll even run out and

grab some zinc for him

so let’s

[Laughter]

I like that it’s like um people says I

know this person they’re basically

talking about themselves well that’s

right I gave it up let’s see uh how

about Sylvia from Facebook is it okay to

take bile salts if your gallbladder has

been removed

I think it’s more important to take bile

salts because you’re not able to

concentrate those bile salts enough so

now we’re having a weaker amount of bile

salts that are released on a uh not like

like we do in sufficient amounts when we

eat we don’t have that storage that we

can just push that thing out so

um I would just really

um watch

your

deficiency symptoms of the fat soluble

vitamins for example vitamin A let’s say

you’re driving down the street and you

notice at night you boy your my vision

is getting worse and worse

um to see in the dark then chances are

you need biosols to get more vitamin A

absorption

um but um the other thing too is if

you’re deficient in bile your stool will

start floating

it’ll be a little bit light colored

and then also your um

if you get too much bile

um that means you’re going to get

diarrhea so just use those two things to

kind of

adjudicate how much bile salt you really

need

all right well here we go with the

prostate again Zappa FK he calls himself

from YouTube last night I was diagnosed

with prostate cancer what should my next

steps be

I think you should um go to the website

uh his name is Guy tandembom and um we

um

co-sponsored a research study in cancer

in Europe with good success he had stage

four prostate cancer and he has can he’s

cancer-free right now and you should

study what he did I interviewed him and

watched my videos on cancer there’s a

protocol that you can follow it’s on his

website

um nutritional and the most important

thing I’m going to emphasize this again

and again for cancer is to go on that

long fast immediately if especially if

it’s stage four like I would go 21 days

no question jump on that fast and just

stop eating of course take do the right

things with supplements and stuff but

that’s that’s

you know it’s kind of like um

I always mention this book Sun Tzu the

technology of War let’s see if I have

this book it’s one of my favorite books

you should if you don’t have this you

should get it it’s basically the

original transcription of um Sun Tzu

this guy actually translated exactly how

the original text without adding

anything to it it’s very different but

there’s a lot of principles in here I

applied to health and you can apply it

to life and one principle is

you want to win the war without going

the battle you don’t want to battle

cancer

it’s it’s like it’s very powerful and

it’s uh it’s very scary and so how do

you win the war

um without battling and I’m talking

about like attacking it directly with

every weapon you can because you end up

using chemotherapy and I’m not telling

you not to take that but you end up

killing off the cancer but you kill off

the immune system too so you have to be

smart and there’s a lot of strategies

you have to use and one is uh to go on a

fast a long fast that’s a really good

strategy to avoid the battling

that comes with collateral damage

um so I applaud this to the immune

system

life and everything’s but it’s that you

can get it on online Kindle I think uh

on Amazon but that’s what you need to do

um and there’s a there’s a way that you

can get out of this and uh unfortunately

you know more more people should work on

the strategy of prevention

than to wait until they have it

um and that’s why I put out these videos

so you can get that knowledge so you can

then avoid problems rather than end up

with them all right well best of luck

with that our thoughts and prayers I’m

sure around the world are with you on

that Zappa so funny how these people

come up with these names Midwest can is

the name apparently this person’s going

with so mid Midwest can uh ask probably

his real name Steve yeah I’m sure it is

what were his parents thinking what are

your thoughts on iaf for someone with

hormonal issues we now have a six month

old and my wife was on in vitro

fertilization shots she has heard

negative things about uh intermittent

fasting and hormones what do you think

doc

I don’t know if that’s

well

is it natural to do intermittent fasting

have our bodies evolve within a minute

fasting

way back in the day Steve when food was

not available

did we could we go to the grocery store

and get food and the answer is the big

fat no you can’t um so our bodies are do

very well when we do intermittent

fasting simply because uh that’s our

body is designed so uh hormonally it’s

all about getting nutrition and

nutrients can you get your nutrients

by by doing intermittent fasting yes you

focus on Quality Foods

can you get your nutrients by eating a

lot of calories no not necessarily

especially nowadays so it’s really just

about eating Quality Foods and not

snacking so much and I think even your

fertility will improve because you’re

going to restore insulin resistance

which is behind a lot of problems with

fertility

or infertility

wow so

um yeah so that’s why like even a

diabetic for example who has insulin

resistance

um they’re they’re not as nearly as

fertile as someone who’s a non-diabetic

all right very good well here’s more

probing questions for you Dr Burke well

we want to know I mean you and Karen are

so healthy how do you do it so Bernie

from YouTube are you eating breakfast

these days how often do you change up

your eating window

I don’t I don’t need to do the breakfast

I did a video Once where I said you know

you should try to switch it up and have

the breakfast and the lunch uh I and I

said I was going to try that out and I

did and um I didn’t like it as much

because I was eating when I wasn’t

hungry

so what I do now is I I have like a

lunch and then

um ideally uh several hours later I’ll

have another meal

um I like to keep the dinner early as

possible I mean 3 30 would be great but

sometimes I go to like four or even five

um but um

don’t worry if you can’t do that okay

just do two meals and whenever you can

squeeze them in but um the majority of

people that are doing this are doing two

meals no snacks and I think that’s good

but as you get older

and you want more health benefits and

you need to lose more weight you go to

the omad the one meal a day

that would be the best thing to do all

right very good let’s go uh

to Yvonne who is in Columbia South

Carolina although I think now she’s up

in Pennsylvania or something she really

gets around Yvonne unmute yourself and

go ahead with your one question for Dr

Bird please

okay Dr Burke thank you thank you thank

you for your generosity with all your

knowledge it really helped me a lot

um my question I’m doing keto

intermittent fasting oh mad I’m right

now I’m at 20 hours I’m real proud of

myself

um I’ve been doing the kale Shake

because I have an enlarged liver I’ve

been gallbladder issues it only works

about 25 they say

and it’s true but um so I’ve been doing

all this I’ve been doing everything I

take all your stuff

um

my hair is falling I’ve lost two-thirds

of my hair

and it was coming it was falling before

I started the keto

um but since then it’s really been

falling out not at the roots just

breaking

so I I’m on um

um trying to come off my thyroid

medicine I had half my thyroid removed

they um left enough they said so I

wouldn’t need medicine but they put me

on

50 micrograms of Synthroid anyway

and I’m trying to come off that because

I don’t like medicine so I’m trying to

take the uh

I tropin PMG and I’m trying to slowly

come off my thyroid medicine but my hair

is just falling falling falling so I

looked up the Armor Thyroid I want to

know what the difference is between that

one and the one I’m taking is the other

one better than this one you know I I

saw your video on the different

hormones that your thyroid really does

make so

I like to get them all I’m just not sure

um did you say you’re taking did you say

you’re taking Synthroid I can’t uh I I’m

trying to come off of it I’m like uh at

a quarter of my pills so that’s what I

don’t know

and I’m doing okay except my legs get a

little tired a little weak and so I’m

slowly coming off of it

okay

um well um you know I was in Columbia uh

South Carolina when I went to basic

training uh for Fort Jackson yeah I

think in the summer and I tell you it’s

the hottest place that I’ve ever been in

my life never sweat I don’t know

my hands I was like this is an oven

hot hot hot town yeah and and you don’t

have a chance to uh you just you’re

fully uh manned up and you’re carrying a

rucksack and you’re yeah 17 miles so

anyway

um so this is what you a couple things

with your thyroid

um I think um a really important thing

to take a bit more of is those trace

minerals including zinc uh for the hair

but here’s the thing you that thyroid is

probably indirectly kicking your butt

because we don’t have the full full

function when you get the um

natural thyroid or the Armor Thyroid you

get uh calcitonin which is a which is a

different hormone that can help regulate

calcium because I get the feeling that

calcium can even be one reason why the

hair falls out too

um because it helps to trans and

regulate that with the parathyroid I

don’t even know if when they took out

part of your thyroid if they took out

the parathyroid too that would they did

they did it did okay so now that tells

me

um

you want to probably get a blood test of

your phosphorus and your calcium and

you’re gonna have to play around with

those two numbers but I think the

solution would be also to add one more

product from standard process called

Kalma plus that is the one comma plus

that’s the one that supports the

parathyroid okay okay

when I looked up armored thyroid and I

was looking at the ingredients you don’t

see that on under the ingredients so

calciton they don’t they don’t list they

don’t think about this um they don’t

list it’s just like a glandular right

it’s a whole glandular they don’t list

all the different things in there but

it’s uh it gives you all the normal

hormones that your thyroid produces

versus the Synthroid is only only one T4

which then you have to convert it so um

to convert the that’s Synthroid boy you

need that selenium you need zinc

um and let’s say for example

year but you don’t have enough your body

is going to go after fixing maybe one

thing but not the other and as far as

the survival

um priorities in the body the hair is

not at the top of the list so that’s

probably why it’s not going there so you

just have to take more trade more trace

minerals probably

um some Biotin and uh make sure those B

vitamins are good but I get the feeling

that the parathyroid could be one thing

that is missing in this because they

they remove that unfortunately or they

have I don’t know how many They removed

all of them or just three but I I don’t

know yeah no okay so the armor thyroid

is better than what I’m taking the thigh

the the standard process I think it is

from my viewpoint just because it has

the whole complex it has all the

hormones I mean I would ask the doc um

if I don’t have the full function of my

thyroid where am I getting calcitonin if

I if I don’t have the parasite right

where am I going to getting parathormone

you know like these are questions I

would ask um

I will ask because I do have an

appointment coming up yes yes

yeah so okay well that that should I

hope that helps because I’m losing

volumes and volumes of hair and then

that’s the only thing I’m not happy with

but everything else Works everything you

said is just right on the money and I’m

taking tatka all the time and got rid of

the side pain I had in my gallbladder

and

yeah and they just said a lot of doing

what you’re doing and I’m guessing

you’re also taking milk thistle right

because you probably watch that video

good you’re taking all the most powerful

things for your liver and um and by the

way you know the thyroid works with the

liver so I think the more the liver gets

improved the thyroid will do better and

the thyroid hormones will do better so

um yeah I think you’re on the right

track just have to tweak it a little bit

all right well thank you thank you thank

you again for everything you’re welcome

you’re welcome and stay warm stay warm

I bet she will oh goodness basic

training I’d last about 30 seconds now

if that okay let’s go see once you get

once you sign up and you get in you

can’t get out oh

um until until the end because if you

try to get out sooner then you’re going

to basically stay there longer so um you

got to just toughen it up oh my God

where is my discipline okay Mary from

Facebook I am doing omad and regular

48-hour fast good for you in between how

can I tell when I’m no longer insulin

resistant

um the biggest uh indicator to know that

insulin resistance is no longer a

problem is when you can go a long period

of time without the hunger so your

appetite goes away because now you have

an efficient machine now

people say well is it cured

because when I go back to carbs it comes

back

well it’s it’s like um

you have to look at it a little bit

differently because

um there you can

take the insulin make insulin more

sensitive but as soon as you go back to

the carbs your body is going to become

more insulin resistant so it’s kind of

like um it’s not something that you can

go back to your normal foods and still

be okay it’s like your body’s telling

you you need to stick with this for the

rest of your life but the point is that

if we can just keep your symptoms

at Bay the symptom indicator would be no

more hunger and you can within reason

and you can go long periods of time with

why you’re fasting very good okay what

great questions are we having we’re back

to that darn prostate there you go doc

question number three

all right which exists in higher amounts

in an enlarged prostate testosterone or

estrogen

which one of those uh

is responsible for more of an enlarged

prostate and I’m telling you our

audience is so smart they’re definitely

folks out there that know so we can’t

wait for your answers let’s see

oh here’s Margaret from Facebook

uh can you we take fat soluble vitamins

without food I’m confused because I fast

a lot

yeah you can you know like when

something is fat soluble they they want

you to eat some fat with it to make it

uh dissolve and be absorbed

uh that’s why you eat it with a meal But

realize this um you’re still going to

get a an adequate amount of absorption

even if you have it without food so it’s

oh it’s not the most uh

um important thing to do so if you’re

fasting go ahead and just take them

you’re going to get benefit and this is

also why in in a lot of my fat soluble

products like the vitamin D product that

I have I also added in their fat so you

could actually eat or consume it on an

empty stomach fine because you have some

oil in there MCT oil to help you absorb

it

all right um here’s one of those people

bragging about you again Jessica from

YouTube I have lost 40 pounds

you have a little ding there and on

healthy keto and reverse my diabetes and

lowered my A1C numbers thank you Dr Berg

isn’t that great

that’s great and then of course um

it was probably just a coincidence so

that’s great that you cured your disease

that’s right how wonderful okay let’s

see

um Anna from Facebook what are the best

supplements to prevent a recurrence of

papillary thyroid cancer my thyroid has

been removed is she still in danger with

no thyroid

well um

um I think um to prevent cancer from

coming back is to really focus in on

what cancer is and understand it a bit

more and that’s why I have all these

videos on it cancer is a normal cell

that changes over into

a cancer cell so all cancer comes from

normal cells

why because they’re damaged the

mitochondria is damaged so if you can

just know all the things that damage

mitochondria and avoid those things then

that’s the best way to prevent cancer

and I’d list that in my videos you know

too much refined sugar too much stress

chronic inflammation

um and all the other things that people

already know the smoking the drinking uh

you know junk Foods things like that so

um and then also if you do periodic

prolonged fasting that’s going to be

really really important if you had

cancer going forward you better continue

to do like maybe every two weeks you do

a

48 hour fast maybe every year you do a

seven day fast

depending on how severe it is and then

keep monitoring it and then do whatever

you can to keep the stress low because

stress can also trigger this cancer

all right very good let’s go back to the

Green Room speaking of bloating Andrew

is coming to us from St Louis and Andrew

you are on with Dr Berg one question 30

seconds ago

okay uh thank you Dr Berg for your show

and your your mini videos they’ve been

very helpful and uh you know I’ve

enjoyed watching them and getting what I

can out of them

um the question I have is

um I’ve been doing your Keto Plan and

and I’ve lost weight and my wife has

been doing it as well she hasn’t had the

same success and she has been

um like a belly bloat that she has I

know you mentioned

um talking about uh the the colon and

things like that but

um she’s been doing a lot for the colon

and trying to

um you know taking a Prebiotic a

probiotic we’ve done

intermittent fasting and she went on a

complete fast for over 48 Hours she

takes your various

supplements and just can’t seem to get

rid of that belly bloat and I I’m

thinking that maybe it might be an

adrenal problem but I’m not really sure

you know you brought up a good point

um one thing I didn’t mention is um

I don’t know if she’s experiences stress

but like if she wakes up with her

stomach flat and then towards the end of

the day it’s bloated suspect stress and

that can um so she’s gonna have to maybe

uh do long walks identify the source of

the stress and do whatever you can to

resolve it take adaptogens like

ashwagandha is a good one there’s Rishi

mushroom cordycep there’s a lot of

different natural things out there as

adaptogens that she can take

um the other thing too is she doing two

meals or one day one meal a day

um she she normally does two but

sometimes like she’ll do like a week

where she’ll just do one meal and then

sometimes at most she’s only doing two

meals

okay

I’ll create a video

um just more in depth uh on this topic

because it’s an important one and I

think it’s easy to solve if you just

identify

especially

um

in her case

you know you do the prebiotics you do

the probiotics if it makes it worse boy

that’s the biggest clue that you might

she might have sibo small intestinal

bacterial overgrowth in which case we

need to give her betaine out of chloride

for the stomach get rid of that and help

her digestion and do one meal a day only

these are important things but um

uh there’s one guy who came into my

practice long ago and uh he had

his stress related bloating and um

he went down I think he went to Florida

or something and he laid in the beach

and just got

primitive stress and his he came back

with a completely flat stomach and so

this was a cortisol response and so the

cortisol can actually cause more of

inflammatory things so

um you know it’s just a matter of now

let’s

watch those videos that I have on stress

and work on that but I would

really watch also try to identify the

fibers and the carbs and the sugars that

even like the keto friendly uh

acceptable fibers that they

especially in certain products I don’t

know if she has that as well but but

just stay tuned for uh more detailed

video on that so we can completely solve

that because I think she’s close but she

just needs the whole all the details

right thank you you’re welcome

great thanks so much so Andrew you

wrapped it up for us in the green room

and you’ve all done so terrifically and

helped entertain the world for goodness

sakes so we sure hope that your wife

gets some relief from that bloating I’m

sure that’s no uh fun

and uh sometimes I can’t see my belt but

I don’t think it’s bloating I think it

might be something else but we’re

working on that okay so we have a median

answer back from the uh quiz question

number three which asks which is in

higher amounts and in large prostate

testosterone or estrogen and I’m telling

you I hope they’re right because a

hundred percent of them said it is

estrogen

they are correct okay

um because when we you know you don’t

you don’t see many young men with

enlarged prostate it’s as we get older

and associated with that is a lower

testosterone so estrogen is an

interesting Factor because

um

all the estrogen in our bodies men and

women both

um originate estrogen from testosterone

to testosterone is the

thing that you can turn estrogen or

estrogen turns into

so there’s a there’s an enzyme called

aromatase that does it and you got to

know how to inhibit

that enzyme so we could have less

estrogen in men and um and also

understand what elevates it as well and

avoid that and Insulin the carbs are one

thing you need to avoid because that’ll

automatically increase it but there’s

also um

in the lemon peel not the lemon juice

and the lemon peel there is uh it’s

called aromatase inhibitor so you could

actually blend a whole lemon and I did a

video on this with your electrolytes and

some water and drink that

during the day or maybe once in the

morning and uh put some couple drops of

stevia in there if you want just a whole

lemon once a day would be very

beneficial to help inhibit the enzyme

and reduce the amount of estrogen and

shrink it and yes you can also do other

things like um you know a salt Palmetto

and definitely cruciferous but

um

the uh

the outer part of that lemon that peel

has some really good hardcore data uh

behind it so definitely check that out

well that’s interesting my niece who’s

now 30 something as a little girl she no

one told her yay or nay she’d pick up

lemons and just eat them Ryan and all

and it didn’t bother and now her

daughter ten-year-old daughter just the

same thing there must be some something

in there allows them to channel that

Agony uh somewhere else and and do it so

that’s pretty pretty wild okay why don’t

we continue it’s also good it’s good

yeah it’s good for your liver too great

all right well I’ll buzz one up and put

20 Stevie in it and see if I can bear it

okay so uh here’s the uh next to last

question number four doc

okay so what is the only trigger for

muscle growth and there’s only one

interesting okay well there’s a hundred

percent opinion before let’s see what

they do with this one okay our firmo G

for emoji I guess correct grief from

Facebook could seven or more Brazil nuts

daily cause hair loss due to selenium

toxicity

that’s a good question

um it really depends on what else you’re

eating but um

the rdas for selenium really is kind of

like equivalent to one one Brazilian nut

so I’m not sure about seven it really

depends too if you’re also taking all

the other trace minerals to help balance

it out but just think this like if if a

little bit is good a lot is not always

better when we’re talking about trace

minerals

um for example you can do too much zinc

and create a copper deficiency which can

cause the same exact hair loss as a zinc

deficiency so um you want just adequate

amounts and I and and the problem really

people what people are running into is

that um when they figured out these rdas

they took an average of the population

to figure this out so Steve let me ask

you a question

um would you say the average person is

healthy or not that healthy I’m gonna

have to go with not that healthy these

days maybe some time ago

excluding you and Karen but otherwise I

think you could probably find a hitch in

our get along here and there so

like if we take a

you know we take an average of all the

sick people and then that’s our our bar

that we have to follow

like you take a bunch of people are

deficient in nutrients and like okay

that’s that’s what we’re a cheat we’re

trying to strive for so that is the

problem

um and then also

um even like biomarkers on the labs and

stuff like that how do they figure out

these biomarkers on labs

well

um same thing with populations so

sometimes uh

a good

uh evaluator when they look at blood

tests and stuff and urine tests you have

to think through these averages and just

understand

um

what’s going on there’s a there’s

actually a a new

kind of a evaluation I think is going to

be very popular and I hope it goes

mainstream within the medical community

especially and even functional medicine

it’s called metabolomics and you can

look at all the

um biomarkers

for problems with your biochemistry and

you could very dynamically figure things

out when you get this test and uh

someone’s training that they can really

figure out things and I will do a video

on that because I think

that takes it one step further than the

DNA test because DNA just doesn’t tell

you what’s happening right now in

present time boom

um it kind of says well this is what

you’re born with but you know this is uh

tells you exactly how your body is

existing with its environment and the

food and your dnas all together

all right very good

um doc U and I have a common friend Dr

Mark Richards and his house was almost

completely torn down to the ground

because he had so much mold in it he had

suffered hearing loss and all sorts of

other ailments so it was awful for him

and we have another person Tamara from

Facebook I’ve been exposed exposed

excuse me to black mold and need to

detox immediately what should I be doing

besides tearing her house down like poor

Dr Richards

so

when you talk about cleanses you’re

talking about the detoxification

mechanism in the liver and other organs

and it’s called phase one phase two

detoxification and there’s enzymes

involved and it turns toxins into

harmless particles so you want to

support that system to get rid of mold

out of the body and um

milk thistle is a great great remedy

because it’s uh it helps to protect the

liver against these poisons cruciferous

vegetables will also stimulate this

phase one phase two detoxification

um

the sulforaphane in

broccoli microgreens and radish

microgreens and Sprouts are very very

good for this as well so um you should

do a liver you should probably follow my

liver diet

um in my my book where I talked about

you know watch even my videos on it as

well you can just support the liver by

doing the the liver body type eating

plan

foreign

very good we have an answer from our

brilliant audience to the question which

asked what is the only trigger for

muscle growth the only one and uh

there’s a there’s a not a complete

consensus here uh 65 percent of our

respondents say it’s the muscle stress

or exercise that’s what I’d vote for 10

say it’s protein 10 say it’s sleep ten

percent say it’s a glutathione and the

other five percent say it’s insulin

so if you were to lay there and I’m in

bed and raise your insulin are you going

to wake up with bigger muscles

or if you um

just lay in bed and eat a lot of protein

is that going to build your muscles

um the answer is no it is basically that

the stimulus the intensity of the

the tension on your muscles Okay so

um you want to use this thing it’s

called um

exercise and you wanted and the more

intense the better especially if you

allow the body to recover so it’s that

exercise thing that will

stimulate the growth of the muscle

um

the other things are needed to allow

that to happen you need protein you need

nutrients you need vitamins you need

rest for sure

um you need hormones but the exercise is

the main driver of the muscle

hypertrophy

now

you want when you work out you don’t

want to just do repetitions for the sake

of doing repetitions you want to

put that muscle under a certain amount

of stress to create some little injury

but you know we call that uh you know do

it to failure to the point where you

really hit that intensity to the point

where you can’t go anymore you’ll get

more gains especially if you allow your

body to recover I did a video on this

um versus just doing a low intensity

high volume you’re not going to get big

muscles so you want that high intensity

short duration but

um bring it to failure and do a few of

those sets that would be very

therapeutic

to then grow your muscles all right very

good let’s uh go back to social media uh

Sandra from Facebook what would you

recommend for an overactive thyroid

I would take thymine B1 is a good remedy

for that and you want to avoid

um iodine and then you cruciferous

cruciferous foods are also good for that

as well

um

but the B1 and higher Amounts is going

to be beneficial and I did a video on

this

um

hyperthyroid or Graves

um

so watch that video okay very good we

had a question earlier I didn’t ask it

but a woman said she was having

difficulty finding your videos or

organized in Facebook and ma’am we have

a remedy for that and that’s called the

Dr Berg free app I don’t know why it’s

free it’s so useful but he refuses to

charge any of you for it so go to Apple

or Android and grab that and find joy in

a complete organization of the various

videos and let’s see let’s um let’s see

here

oh Betty Betty from uh how can I stop

passing gas and having trapped gas all

the time betaine hydrochloride is not

working poor thing is flatulent okay

so there’s other reasons for gas other

than a lack of stomach acid is probably

what you’re eating and um it probably

definitely is what you’re eating so you

want to through a process of elimination

um start to eliminating certain foods

the most common causes of gas would be

like beans legumes uh fruit especially

fruit sugar alcohols all the things that

cause gas I mean start bloating

will cause gas

um so

we got we gotta isolate that by having

lesser amounts of ingredients in your

foods and try just like eating a couple

things and see if you have gas or not

the other thing I would look at is the

um you might need probiotics as well

that can help you

all right very good and let’s see if we

got a quick one here Rose from YouTube

please discuss the causes and treatment

for uh Vitiligo is that the

skin deal

this is a lack of pigment on your skin

where your skin just completely is kind

of white and it could be

an excessive amount of hydrogen peroxide

that’s being produced coming from some

stressful situation usually people that

are like or go always going through

stress and um the adrenals are involved

uh you have a problem with melanin so um

I would start taking a lot of B1 start

changing the um

changing your um

your your whole um attitude towards

stress to keep a stress-free life as

much as possible so be one and very low

stress would be very therapeutic and

there’s also other things you can do to

um get rid of hydrogen peroxide and

um

I actually have some videos on that this

coming week on that note I want to thank

all of you for uh your attention this

far have a wonderful weekend I will see

you next week same time same place
