hey guys dr. Burke here in this video

we’re gonna talk about ketosis acids and

stones okay so what do I mean by this

well when you do a ketogenic diet

ketones are more acid so you’re going to

be releasing more acid through the body

and you’re gonna be really seeing

something called nitrogen to the body a

little bit more than you would if you

weren’t on a ketogenic diet but because

certain parts of the body certain parts

of the brain need a little bit of sugar

your body is going to be also making a

little bit of sugar from your dietary

protein and dietary fat so we can make

it some sugar it’s called

gluconeogenesis okay

not that you need to know that but so

it’s actually going through both of

these processes but you’re still not

doing carbs you’re not getting carbs

your body’s making carbs from the

protein of fat and that just increases

more nitrogen okay now there’s another

compound the body called urea that comes

out through the urine and that’s the

needed is the main pathway to release

this nitrogen so it could build up into

higher levels of uric acid which can

turn to gout but with interesting is if

you’re gonna do a high carb diet and

have high insulin you can also have high

uric acid and get gout with that as well

but here’s the thing normally stones are

made from ox le’ts okay oxalate stones

ninety percent of the time and only ten

percent would be uric acid stones but in

this situation with the high levels of

nitrogen you can have up to 50% of the

time it could be uric acid stones not

oxalate stones so it’s not coming from

ox let’s it’s coming from the uric acid

alright

so you didn’t really need to know that

all you need to know is that if you’re

on a ketogenic diet and you start to

have sensations of gout or high levels

of uric acid you want to do these things

right here to prevent it okay and you

probably already do in this video to

worry about keeping your potassium high

and I talked about this a lot in the

videos from vegetables okay making sure

your vegetables are large amounts of

vegetables so if you’re doing the

ketogenic diet and you’re not doing all

the vegetables that would not be a good

idea so you want to keep that high to

counteract some of this waste product

here and also

if you need if you find that you’re not

doing enough vegetables add more

potassium citrate that’s the electrolyte

that will counter this okay counter

Scout it’s the remedy for gout so I want

to explain one thing if your urine is

too acid the uric acid crystals will not

dissolve in acidic urine has to be a

little bit more alkaline so taking the

potassium citrate which is alkaline will

help counter gout and help prevent these

stones from happening okay but you can

also get a potassium Fenton vegetables

lemon juice is important why well the

problem with lemon juice is that when

you buy it in a bottle its pasteurized

so they kill the vitamin C there’s not a

lot of vitamin C in lemon juice just

lemons but what you’re getting in lemon

juice is the citrate which counters

these right here so citrate that’s why

you’d want to do that sea salt is very

important too why because sea salt will

counter the uric acid as well in fact in

a ketogenic diet you need like one

teaspoon of sea salt a day if you’re on

a carb diet high carb diet you need

about 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt per day

okay also if you have a history of

kidney stones it’s important to take

vitamin k2 because vitamin k2

deficiencies are one of the main sources

of kidney stones because of the buildup

of soft-tissue calcium so if you have a

history of kidney stones take the k2

just to make sure that that is not the

source of your stones okay thanks for

watching hey I just wanted to take a

moment to thank you personally there’s

so many of you that have gotten this

book and the feedback that you’re giving

me is mind-blowing thank you so much I

really appreciate it if you wouldn’t

mind I have one quick favor to put your

unbiased review on Amazon I would really

appreciate it thank you so much
