thank you

welcome back everyone we’re here with

another q a anything that I say is not

meant to diagnose or cure you check with

your doctor before implementing any of

the stuff that we’re going to talk about

with a great lineup of people to ask

questions and if you’re on social media

definitely write your questions in we’re

going to try to

today pull off a miracle and get to

every single person absolutely and we

have some highly intelligent people in

The Green Room ready to talk to us about

their various foilables or success

stories or whatever and also we have the

usual quiz questions and I must warn the

audience there are no true falsers which

should allow you to flip a coin and be

smart or dumb respectively in this case

you’re going to have to use every

cognitive talent you have but they’re

interesting questions so we should all

know the answer to these and Doc here’s

the first one

all right so first one is which sugar is

worse than high fructose corn syrup

thanks for actually I could ask it even

better which one is more deadly

ouch so that’s the first question okay

you’ll certainly want to know that one

okay why don’t we also just kick it off

we love the fact that not only uh the

three folks that happen to be in the

United States that are going to come on

and ask you a question but also the

people all around the world so we’d like

to say a good morning to all of our

viewers joining us today from the UK

Canada Mexico Pakistan Ireland Singapore

Armenia Hong Kong Aruba United Arab

Emirates Algeria Jamaica Cameroon

Malaysia Slovakia

Uganda Wales Cyprus Scotland and Lebanon

Denmark Bangladesh Eritrea turkey Spain

ubeekistan Portugal Austria Sweden Oman

New Zealand Germany Lithuania Jordan

Barbados the Virgin Islands Chile

Trinidad and Tobago South Africa France

India Nepal wow Nigeria Egypt Russia

Meritus if I said that right Terry the

Philippines the Czech Republic the

Netherlands Australia Taiwan Iran Italy

Belgium Ethiopia Norway Poland almost

done audience Ghana uh Peru Saudi Arabia

Finland and all across these United

States of America so welcome everyone

and don’t want to put the people in The

Green Room Under Pressure but they’re

all looking for high entertainment from

all three of you so stand ready to be a

big part of the show all right speaking

of social media uh What uh let’s start

off with social media one from Facebook

what are your recommendations to treat

vertigo

it can be a couple different causes to

that

um one would be a sinus infection where

there’s mucus that builds up in the

eustachian tube and the back gets in the

back of the ear and so if that’s the

problem it could be some

seasonal allergy and if that’s the case

Spanish black radish is the best uh

thing to take for that it tends to pull

mucus from the deep deep areas of your

body you can even get as a supplement

another uh problem with this is the

broken up little calcium deposits that

form uh in the inner ear and then they

can circulate around and irritate the

hairs of the ear and make it feel like

you’re just like always dizzy and things

like that

um and so in that case there’s a the

video I did on a test that you can go

through to see if you have that and it

kind of helps you figure out which ear

that you have this problem with and one

of the good remedies for that is vitamin

K2

it helps to um kind of Transport

um

you know calcium in different places in

the body so that would be a good remedy

there’s other remedies as well but

um and then there’s a there’s a couple

other things to look at as well but

those are the top two most common issues

okay very good in audience he mentioned

videos and here’s another way to get

hold of them the free Dr Burr Gap app is

available on both uh

Android and Apple so grab hold of that

and you’ll have all the information you

need in your pocket anytime you wish

it’s also very organized as I understand

right Dr Berg so if they query from

something there it’s a lot easier to

find often than on YouTube

I’m having a hard time finding my uh my

own videos on YouTube so uh yeah there’s

definitely a

search engine problem right now so we’re

working on that all right very good okay

and as from YouTube is well confirmative

vegetables work the same as apple cider

vinegar with water

well I think they work a little

different because um when you’re doing

uh apple cider vinegar you’re doing

acetic acid and when you’re doing

fermented vegetables you’re doing more

lactic acid you can get lactic acid from

Kombucha tea and that has a different

effect than acetic acid but there are

two byproducts that your body actually

can make naturally as well so um

I think the benefit of the fermented

vegetables are huge because you get a

probiotic Prebiotic and you get um

you get the benefit of

um helping your immune system and

helping your gut Flora

um and then the acetic acid vinegar is

great for blood sugars it can give you

energy it can indirectly help you with

insulin resistance which is behind

so many problems out there including

fatty liver

wow okay well as usual there’s a few

holdouts that want to be acknowledged

this morning and they are joining us

from Thailand Israel Dubai Japan Romania

and Morocco I can’t imagine we’ve missed

too many countries so that’s uh

absolutely terrific all right on with

more from our social media folks Mystic

Melody from YouTube when you’re doing a

prolonged fast is it okay to drink broth

from boiled seasoned vegetables or will

it take you out of the autophagy

you know it’s not a bad idea if you’re

doing broth because you could that’s a

good way to get your salts your sea salt

if you had a good amount of seed oil

salt in there and there’s not a lot of

calories in vegetable broth

so um

I mean I think it’s going to be totally

okay

um but when you get into more calorie

type foods that’s when you break the

fast

wow well Melody I thought he might yell

at you but he didn’t he’s gonna let you

drink for a while yeah one more one more

point about the um they have the boy

what do you call those uh bullion cubes

yeah those little cubes that you buy to

as a stock for Soups and things read the

labels on those because they’re filled

with monosodium glutamate

maltodextrin uh unfortunately it’s hard

to find one without that and

um hopefully someone will come up with

one without out that I will definitely

promote it and use it myself

all right let’s give some counsel to

Kimberly from YouTube how much berberine

should I take on a daily basis I’m 190

currently and five seven thank you she

says

I think you just take the normal dose

that they recommend because it’s it’s um

more is not always better with that herb

but it’ll have a really cool effect of

helping you with insulin resistance I

just released the video today on

berberine and it’s like a it’s like a

natural version of metformin and people

are taking metformin for not just blood

sugar issues but for a lot of other

problems which have has a side effect

lactic acidosis so

um it also depletes your B1 vitamin as

well as B12 so you have to be careful

that but berberine doesn’t

all right very good why don’t we go to

our Green Room

uh speak of the devil look at this is

terrible poor marinade now she doesn’t

look green normally but I just so you

there’s something you can definitely

need to give her some counsel because

there’s something going on but in

deference to you Marinette I’m going to

take your picture down because it looks

funny and once you go ahead as a phone

call and ask Dr Berg your question

go ahead morning

oh my cushion

hello everybody

so my question was actually I started

based on your information Dr Burke I

started to do intermediate fasting

and um I love it so I would like to know

in order to have keto diet and

intermediate fasting how can that be

possible to build the muscle what’s the

best way to build the muscle and what

type of nutrition uh in that case is

good to use supplements I meant

you know there’s a there’s a there’s a

lot of things you can try but like

creatine phosphate is a supplement your

body actually makes creatine

um and that does have an effect on

muscle

um and energy

um you can actually it gives you more

ATP so that’s one thing you could try

while you’re doing weight training but

what stimulates the actual muscle growth

itself is

um

some exercise with with weights

resistant training versus anything else

that’s how you’re going to build muscle

now recently um

um

you know I switched my exercise routine

and I’m going to talk about that more on

some of the other questions so I’m not

going to as I’m talking about I’m not

going to say anything yet because I’m

realizing that’s one of the questions

but the point is that um you need to

activate the muscle uh so while you’re

fasting to build muscle because if

you’re if you’re just not active you’re

not going to build a muscle regardless

of how much protein you eat but building

muscle is not just eating more protein

you have to activate it with exercise

that’s the biggest stimulus but this

creative phosphate can actually help you

a little bit with um it might

indirectly help muscle

um fibers but it does also increase

glycogen storage and with that comes

water so your muscles will look fuller

more hydrated it’s not a bad thing

um they’ll look bigger but we’re I know

you want to probably make them actually

bigger so that can help as well

and how much milligram of creatine it’s

good for the year approximately if I’m

not mistaken I think it’s like three to

five grams

um per day help you in your workout

um to give you the unfair Advantage so

um yeah that’s something you can add to

your your weight training

again all right Mary well listen my

question

all right thank you Mary yes thank you

okay get back with us and let us know if

you get all buff and stuff that’s what

we’re looking for and hoping for you all

right folks in the first quiz question

of the day was answered and it asked

bring that up which sugar is worse than

high fructose corn syrup and the

audience and I hope you’re right at

least 80 percent of them say it is one

of the many artificial sweeteners such

as erythritol and then the last 20 say

it’s maltodextrin

what do you think God

Okay so

so this question is very specific to

just sugar

um but you’re right maltodextrin acts

like a sugar even though it’s developed

standby audience

do it while we’re waiting for the doctor

to come back I’m going to entertain you

once again to remind you all to get the

wonderful uh free download

and that will allow you to watch Dr Berg

even when he’s Frozen on screen like he

appears to be currently so let’s see I’m

going to just put us on pause for a

moment until we get the good doctor back

please stand by

foreign

Dr Berg I’m sorry uh oh your audio is

not coming through yet audience again we

will work on this and get right back

with you

um

I tell you what folks

we mean Nate we may need to kind of

restart this software Dr Berg I’m really

sorry but I’m afraid that’s what we’re

going to have to do so guest audience

everyone stand by and we’ll be back with

standby we’re coming back wait a minute

let’s see okay that’s all right and

All Right audience forgive our terrible

glitch there but we’re back with Dr Berg

and the cash I think we wrapped up that

one quiz question and now I’m going to

answer I’m going to answer the question

because they didn’t really get the

answer to the question so

um the worst sugar worse than high

fructose corn syrup

is you ready for this agave nectar I’m

gonna tell you why most sugars like beet

sugar like table sugar I purchase corn

syrup are roughly about a 50 50 split

between glucose and fructose

and fructose apparently does not

necessarily

work uh like glucose it doesn’t

necessarily spike your blood sugars or

affect insulin too much directly but

indirectly it does but directly it the

liver takes to load as compared to

glucose you know can be metabolized by

all of your cells so when you consume

um agave nectar you’re you’re dealing

with like 85 percent

fructose and only 15 percent glucose and

that’s a tremendous burden on the liver

because the liver treats glucose like

alcohol

so it’s considered a toxin so you say

well I thought God was natural yeah but

agave nectar is not natural

and so it puts a tremendous amount of

fructose into your body and you think

it’s all along the glycemic index but

you’re just basically creating a fatty

liver and um probably eventually a scar

liver there’s probably not going to be a

lot of research in this area but just

from the basic principle of

understanding fructose it’s the worst

sugar

um that you could eat wow okay back to

surgery yeah yeah all right so uh let’s

go back to in this time Facebook Deborah

my aunt just told me she has end-stage

kidney failure is there any way keto and

or if could help her reverse this

um horrible disease please help if

you’re in stage

um you have to really work with the docs

because there’s certain nutrients that

you have to be careful of having too

much like phosphate and potassium and

these other nutrients you have to work

with

a doc but on the same token I would

actually keep your carbs low and as the

kidney improves because think about the

number one cause of kidney damage it’s

diabetes uh what’s diabetes high sugar

in the diet and I’m sorry in the in the

blood blood level so if you were to um

start improving that and then maybe go

from a end-stage liver disease to stage

four stage three and you start improving

the kidney function then maybe you can

add more of these um other things

nutrients that you your body can handle

so yeah you can do a version of the keto

but you just have to work with the dock

to make sure you’re not taking too much

of certain nutrients but I if I had

end-stage kidney problem that’s what

exactly what I would do I would not um

you know do the diet that they’re just

recommending just the worst foods

possible wow well Deborah we’re pulling

for your aunt I hope she can improve

from that um critical condition all

right let’s go back to our questions and

here’s the next one DOC for the audience

another no Truth All right so is

fructose lowering

if fructose is low low on the glycemic

index there’s a typo there why is it so

bad for us

all right folks I may have just answered

that in the last question but let’s just

see how many people were listening well

who can blame them I got an excuse we

botched the show right in the middle so

we’ll see how loyal they are so get on

that folks uh and give us a nice answer

and let’s go back to uh let’s see social

media

okay we already did that one and Terry’s

catching up with me hang on I’ll find

one for us

we did the berberine

okay Tracy from YouTube what advice

would you share with someone who’s

pregnant while on omad

I would probably add another meal in

there or two because you you know it’s

just always the factor of like are you

getting enough nutrients from the

calories are you getting enough energy

what you know it’s not the best time to

do the omad one meal a day while you’re

pregnant because you’re you’re feeding

to

for two so I think it’s the most

important to eat healthy I would

definitely wouldn’t do the snacking but

I would definitely probably have

probably three meals and uh and eat

super like

healthy version of Keto and that way

that child comes out uh has the best

chance of being super healthy now the

other factor I want to recommend is

definitely do breastfeeding because

you’re going to find the immune system

and that child is going to be better

chances are of them having allergies are

going to be a lot smaller than if they

weren’t breastfed so the most crucial

time is to make sure you have a natural

prenatal make sure you do super healthy

foods but so many women unfortunately

don’t have that data and they um the

kids come out having more issues than

than not so

that’s that’s my advice all right very

good Dean from YouTube I have a cyst on

my kidney I have been eating only

organic foods it was first diagnosed

last August and have not been able to

gain weight since then help well Dean if

you need help gaining weight just come

to my house what do you think Don

the sister

um are a bit of an unknown you know

people don’t uh

really know what causes them so

either benign uh most of them don’t grow

or do anything they just sit there I

think I think the purpose of them is

just to encapsulate some type of

toxicity

and so the answer is to just go more

organic and eat less toxicity and go on

the ketogenic diet I don’t I know that

cysts will grow on the body especially

like Baker cysts or other cysts if the

person’s doing a lot of carbs

um or drinking wine is it will do it as

well so what I would do

um is I would um just stick on keto and

I don’t think the cysts are interfering

with your weight gain or weight loss

um

but um anything related to kidney you do

want to do healthy keto for sure all

right very good well the audience is

jumping on these questions faster our

last one acid fructose is lower on the

glycemic index why is it bad for you and

the audience oh well 100 of our

respondents say it’s bad news for Tada

drum roll the liver

yeah so I I

of course gave you that answer from the

previous question so that that’s a very

good thing that most people are

listening or actually everyone’s

listening 100 but I want to say

something about fructose because the

fructose is dealt with the body

differently the liver takes it it uh you

know the amount of it’s the quantity too

like think about what people are doing

they’re drinking their fructose

especially even high fructose corn syrup

and that fructose

um that’s so refined it doesn’t have all

the antioxidants that fruit does so like

as a food you’re just drinking pure

fructose it’s uh

from The evolutionary point of view it

um

it’s meant to consume or deal with

seasonal type maybe honey or fruit but

back way back in the day we didn’t eat

that quantity

that we eat now right which is available

24 7 in the in the amount of it so uh it

has an interesting effect on the liver

to help uh

help you store fat quicker for the

winter months

uh even generate uric acid as an

antioxidant

so um

it’s the the quantities are just killing

us right now it’s like going to the

liver will make that liver very fatty so

the next time you go get the big gulp

the sodas just remember what I said

about that it’s just a high fructose

corn syrup

probably stay away from that all right

you’ve heard it audience JK from YouTube

can L-Arginine help with increasing

height I assume that JK is in his growth

years

can help what increases right I guess

make him grow taller

oh

um I don’t I don’t know I think that um

you know it does increase growth hormone

that’s for sure I don’t know if that’s

going to be the thing that’s going to do

it for you um there’s other things that

can increase growth hormone which I’m

going to talk about later in the show

after I we answer all the questions but

growth hormone um

you can if you’re growing and you’re not

past the age of 18 or 20

um a really interesting product that I

used in practice was something called

the two Trophy and PMG you can get it

from a company called Standard Process

I’m not affiliated with that company but

pituitrophin supports pituitary and I I

swear like when I would put children

that should be taller on that

um I noticed they started growing a lot

faster

not guaranteeing it but it’s something

to look at to try out

all right very good L from YouTube how

can I lower my ANC of 6.1 I eat very

well and exercise daily I do have a

family history of diabetes and by the

way doc from for my knowledge and the

audience I hear those numbers all the

time what’s good what’s a good ANC

number what’s a baseline a A1c is

basically the amount of accumulated

glucose that’s stuck to your blood cells

like the hemoglobin that’s a really good

uh one of the best indicators for um

to see if someone’s cheating or not

because it gives you an average of blood

sugars for the whole three months

so if you’re cheating on the weekends

it’ll come out average it’s a little bit

higher so we want it below

5.7 but even lower than that but 5.7 is

kind of the borderline as you go higher

uh you become a pre-diabetic and then a

6.4 is an actual diabetic so and it just

tells you where the blood sugars are we

want the blood sugars below 100 like

like maybe 80 something like that but I

mean a lot of people have A1C like in

the force 4.5 things like that and that

means their blood sugars are like like

low 70s even 60s you might think that’s

hypoglycemia but if you’re not eating

sugar your blood sugars will go low and

you’ll feel fine because you’re not

adding the sugar but here’s the thing if

you are a diabetic or you have a

pre-diabetic

um you’ve pretty much lost 50 percent of

your

beta cells that those are the cells in

the pancreas that make insulin which

means you have less insulin to deal with

which means you have less ability to

push the blood sugars down so even

though you start the ketogenic diet and

you come off sugars it might take longer

for you to bring your sugars down

because of the fact you just don’t have

the insulin like you did before what you

need to do is just add those other

things like the apple cider vinegar the

berberine be real strict and just give

it more time because it will happen if

you do it it might take weeks or months

but just hang in there add exercise as

well and eventually it’ll all come down

come out in the wash but um

it’s just that that’s really why your

blood sugars are

higher and it’s hard to bring them down

and of course that relates to A1C

because you’re measuring an average of

blood sugars for the whole three months

all right L it sounds like you’re on the

right path uh you know keep exercising

and eat very well maybe you need to

examine that uh and Dr Burke has a

million uh videos to help guide you in

that regard okay Anna from YouTube which

diet would be best for a young child

should they follow the healthy keto and

iaf diet at an early age I can

anticipate your answer

it really depends a definitely healthy

keto for sure but fasting it really you

know if you’re seven years old and

you’re watching this right now you

probably don’t need to do intermittent

fasting but I will say

um if if kids would just have three

meals a day and not all the snacks that

would be a good thing because I think uh

even if we compare myself when I was a

kid and even Steve when you were a kid

you probably

didn’t snack as much as they do now

everything is snack snack snack bring

food everywhere you go it’s just it’s

all pushed by the snack industry in fact

this might be shocking Steve but there

if you go to the grocery store there’s

entire aisles of snacks

for sale did you know that well

um unfortunately I’ve fallen victim to

that a few times even with my immense

discipline sometimes my feet Screech to

a halt in uh in such a spot

yeah so um do the three meals and then

let’s say a child is uh 11 or 12 years

old and there’s obesity well then maybe

just do two meals a day but make sure

it’s sufficient calories

All Right audience stand by you’re

coming in and out doc

here we go I think we’ve got you back

okay

so we lost about the last five seconds

but anyway

um so you know doc you mentioned um

you know my youth and I’m almost 70

years old so in the 60s you if you saw a

person overweight it was like a

spectacle now we didn’t eat all that

well but maybe the exercise also makes a

difference you know we had a peanut

butter and jelly sandwich on Wonder

Bread for lunch but then we ran all day

long and fell around and maybe have a

Kool-Aid Ice Cube which is probably the

worst thing in the world filled with

sugar but no one was overweight so it

really is interesting we’re you know all

stuck in front of an iPad and so on but

you know we used to run all day long and

we never saw anyone that was overweight

again it was sort of a spectacle if you

saw a big person walking around

I think there’s three things the the

biggest change would be the fructose

introduction of fructose that’s big in

the high fructose corn syrup also you

have the snacking is probably might be

even bigger more snacking we implemented

that I remember we didn’t have that as

much and then um also then the Omega

six fatty acids the oils all the oils

have replaced the saturated fats which

is another Factor so I think those three

factors and like you said exercise is

another Factor but yeah those are big

changes

[Music]

um

all right very good well let’s go boy

excuse me girl boy girl so we’re going

to bring Aaron in next and Aaron is

joining us from Dallas Texas where he

says it’s very humid and hot right now

and Aaron if you’re unmuted you’re on

with Dr Berg

hi hey um

completely

[Music]

yeah I think there is

um one of the biggest things you have to

realize also testosterone follows the

biochemistry of growth hormone they both

kind of work in a similar fashion uh the

top of the list is zinc make sure you’re

taking enough zinc and eating foods high

in zinc like shellfish especially

oysters are the best and even red meat

so the zinc will help you greatly and

then of course the um the intense

exercise is another thing that can help

you with that as well you have to be

careful about estrogen being too high in

men

um and believe it or not not that you

you do this but there’s something called

um

alcohol wine and beer and things like

that that will increase your estrogen

and shut down the testosterone

um so to overcome this uh

aging related lower testosterone you

have exercise zinc

make sure it’s intense exercise and then

also

um the cold bath the cold immersion

believe it or not has some great

research on increasing testosterone as a

hermetic or a genetic stimulus in that

so that’s another thing jump in the cold

cold shower or bath that to to raise

that those levels I think and then

fasting

fasting is another thing that will

increase testosterone Believe It or Not

prolonged periodic prolonged and regular

intermittent fasting

all right thank you

hey you’re welcome you know keep us

posted that’s really fascinating uh

Aaron uh you know I’ve heard lately that

men’s and women’s testosterone is a lot

lower than it used to be because of

things in the environment phthalates and

plastic and so on so who knows we’re all

going again a lot different than when we

were little kids hun doc

slightly yeah okay let’s see why don’t

we go to the question number three for

the day and Doc here it is

okay so I’m gonna pull this one up here

okay so what is the primary reason a

diabetic

uh has a problem lowering blood sugars

after getting off carbs now what’s

interesting is people are asking

questions that are kind of crossing over

to some of these questions so let’s see

who’s paying attention and see if they

can get that answer here we’re looking

for 100 audience you had the tip okay

let’s see TV in Texas from YouTube what

would be the best substitute for

Adderall in a 55 year old with true ADHD

yeah I would highly recommend you know

in addition to the healthy keto and then

I’m in the fasting to get on a natural

form of the B complex okay B complex

it’ll feed the neurons it’ll feed the

brain

um

uh don’t use the synthetic and then use

higher amounts

um of this B1

um

I think that would be a great great

program and you’d probably see

miraculous results for attention

uh to increase your focus and your

attention

um it might be a transition when you

phase off the medication but keep

working with your doctor to do that

um because the problem is every time you

do it

it’s harder to come off of it your body

gets a little bit weakened and used to

it so it’s going to be a time transition

phase you can’t just do a cold turkey

but but work with your doc to do that

and

hopefully you can come off that it’s

like you know even some of the psych

drugs

um they put you on this but is there any

a plan is there a plan to come off of it

and how do you come off of it and what

do you replace it is there any I mean

some docs don’t even think you’re ever

going to come off of it like is this a

permanent thing and there’s side effects

and there’s complications and also the

more you use it the more it doesn’t work

so you need more amounts of it so it’s

really

um

not a long-term solution or if even if

I’m a short one

well speaking of testosterone Marta from

YouTube what would you recommend besides

ifn if for a 41 year old woman with high

testosterone levels I’m not

post-menopausal that’s interesting

well

um testosterone is a form of androgens

and there’s a couple things that can

increase Androgen too in an unhealthy

way for women and the biggest one is um

insulin so there could be something

increasing the insulin so you want to go

on low low carb do intermittent fasting

but there’s also another remedy for high

energies in women that have polycystic

ovarian syndrome which is inositol

inositol is a really good remedy to help

regulate that and it just happens to be

kind of a it’s a type of B vitamin that

is even sweet it’s like when you you can

suck on it it’s like eating candy but

it’s there’s no sugar in it it’s

interesting all right very good well I’m

very relieved to hear from spam Mouse

from YouTube who has the theory that Dr

Berg’s goats are eating his internet

connection and I appreciate that spam

Mouse because that takes the pressure

off of me certainly it can’t be my

production set up here so Dr Berg

everyone forgives you and your goats for

botching up the um the feed earlier and

I’m completely absorbed I will say I

will say something about goats out of

all the animals different animals we

have oh those goats I swear they

it could be a sitcom they can get in

they have personalities they get into

everything no matter what you do you

can’t conceal them in a paddock they’ll

find a way to get out no matter what and

uh I keep building bigger barriers and

to the point where they somehow got

through it so now how about your Pat to

go we haven’t heard from him in about a

year Billy is it where’s what’s Billy

doing yes Billy Billy is one of the

goats uh that Karen bottle fed

um and and he’s the kind of the leader

of the pack so uh

yeah they’re uh they’re an interesting

Clan

all right very good well again thanks

for saving me on that spam Mouse really

appreciate it let’s see Linda from

YouTube I have recurring mono and I seem

to catch coals and virus very easily how

can I boost my immune system I feel

myself getting more tired and weak over

time sorry to hear that Linda

yeah the mono is a

usually the epstein-bar virus they can

go it’s a light embarrassing go in and

out of remission

um mainly triggered by stress emotional

stress so that is something you have to

hyper focus on and do whatever you can

to improve that stress and do things to

release the stress including physical

work around the house long walks

um

you know I have a lot of videos on that

but um you can also take things like

zinc and vitamin D but it’s usually some

type of uh stressful stress situation

that activates or brings it out of

remission

um

and so that’s that’s the area that I

would put your attention on

all right very good okay Asian calling

themselves that Asian from YouTube is

the high fat keto diet acceptable for

someone with no gallbladder there’s a

few of those

yeah yeah because guess what your body

still makes uh bile it’s just not stored

and concentrated so some people are do

just quite fine but let’s say your stool

uh becomes light colored or it starts to

float or you notice your eyes at night

you’re driving you can’t quite see as

well that’s a lack of vitamin A means

you need more biles so just add a little

bile salts after the meal

and that will solve that problem but um

if you have too much bile you’ll get

diarrhea so that’s another way to know

you have too much

so all right very good well the audience

didn’t answer this with a hundred

percent and the question asked what is

the primary reason a diabetic has a

problem lowering blood sugars after

getting off of carbs and let’s see the

split in the audience 65 percent of the

respondents say it’s because it takes

time for the insulin to be restored to a

normal level 20 say it’s because all of

the stored sugars in the body like

glycogen and 15 there’s less insulin in

the pancreas to for to process the

sugars three answers

well you know most people got it right

because it’s like I said before you’re

only producing you only have like 50 of

the beta cells that make insulin so now

the because the pancreas is damaged So

you you’re not you don’t have

enough insulin anymore and on top of

that you have insulin resistance so

um because it’s been working so hard

it’s exhausted so now we don’t have that

that push down blood sugar push down uh

Force anymore like we did before and so

if you’re diabetic it takes longer to

reestablish these blood sugars the thing

to do is know that don’t give up and

give it more time

so

um more fasting will help you and you’ll

see It’ll eventually over the course of

weeks or months it’ll it’ll come down

all right very good well before the

goats get to the wire again we should

get Georgina on and she’s from Baton

Rouge and Gina you are on with Dr Berg

with your one question in 30 seconds go

all right hi Dr Berg I have been on your

plan since February

um doing great resolved many issues so

far but there is one that no one seems

to be able to help me with

um I have suffered from lifelong

hormonal migraines that come around the

time of my cycle

accompanied with extreme hunger and

nothing seems to help I’ve tried the

sodium like you recommended

um and it’s like a

a speeding train I can’t stop it

um I want I don’t want to rely on the

pharmaceutical medications anymore do

you have any suggestions

did you say it’s related to your cycle

right

yes it’s a week before or the day of and

it’s it comes in threes so I have three

days of full-blown migraines there’s I

can’t seem to

um I can’t seem to fix that issue I I’ve

suffered with the hypoglycemia with the

hunger headaches and the keto has helped

that

and I thought it would help with this

hormonal issue but I can’t seem to stop

it like for example I woke up with one

at four o’clock this morning today I had

to take a pill

and I’m not hungry I’m fasting 23 hours

a day

except when my Cycle’s coming I can’t

stop the Hunger

yeah I’m sorry to hear that that’s

terrible I could only imagine it’s uh

very irritating there’s a couple tips uh

it’s definitely

um related to a shift in estrogen what

estrogen does there’s a couple things

that I would try right off the bat um I

have there’s been some success with

doing

um

turmeric like uh maybe a couple days

before your period and really getting

that turmeric in the body it says some

cool properties to help

hormonal flows the other remedy would be

milk thistle for your liver

because there’s a there’s a hormone

there’s a Was A protein that helps you

buffer

uh fluctuations in estrogen and you

might you might need that help and milk

thistle is one of the best

protective herbs against

so many things in the liver so it

basically protects liver against poisons

and uh it also helps with estrogen and

of course

um I’m guessing you already tried dim

which is a concentrated cruciferous

which actually helps regulate estrogen

that’s another factor that I would look

at

um

and um

I’m going to make a mental note because

there’s I have started some I’ve saw

some research on this not too long ago

but I’ll have to do a video on

um hormonal headaches because I haven’t

done one on that I think that’s a really

good Deep dive that I’ll have to further

investigate to solve that mystery

because it’s

could be devastating so

especially if you probably have to take

medication well I think the two remedies

that I recommended should probably even

help you just with repairing the liver

from the medication one thing that I’m

also have attention on that um might

also help you

during the headache is to take that

tadka because what it can do for just

the flow of things through the liver and

maybe take higher amounts right when you

start to get the headache and see if it

doesn’t resolve it so tatka is another

thing to put on the list

okay

thank you very much you’re welcome good

luck with that there’s I understand

migraines are no fun and I feel very

blessed that that’s never been one of my

issues so

um we’d love to hear back from you

Georgina I wonder if it’s all the fungus

in Baton Rouge I was teasing her that is

so sticky and hot down there I mean my

gosh

um yeah if it was this fungus she would

have it all the time she would have it

not during the cycle exactly well I’ll

quit playing doctor here anyway good

luck with that Georgina and let’s go to

our next to the last question Doc and

here it is

which epigenetic factor is better to

help you burn more fat

cold therapy or heat therapy interesting

All Right audience jump on that and

let’s go to Jasmine from YouTube what

can I do to treat my sibo I have been

using your gallbladder formula as well

as vitamin D and your electrolyte and

cruciferous supplements what else can

Jasmine do

siebel is small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth it’s a situation where you

have bacteria in the wrong place it’s in

the small intestine it should be in the

large and uh and I think if I’m not

mistaken you said you taking betaine

hydrochloride because you need that for

sure and a lot of it to really keep that

stomach acid you’re taking the bile

which is good because that’ll flush out

some of the bacteria too but the next

probably most important thing is to do a

periodic prolonged fasting more fasting

to allow things to kind of go through

um the problem is every time you eat

anything especially fiber it’ll actually

end up fermenting at the wrong place and

you feel really bloated and those darn

microbes will start stealing and robbing

your nutrition so you probably would

benefit going on Carnivore for one or

two months that way you give these

microbes no fiber no more fiber to

ferment and your digestion will be much

better

all right very good mumac from YouTube

is it possible that you can produce

electrolytes without calcium if that

makes sense

that’s a good question

I understand why

um

in my electrolyte powder

I didn’t not want to put any even though

I’d never recommend taking calcium

supplements so I put really really tiny

amounts right if you look at the amounts

it’s very very small compared to

what the rdas are at least which I think

are way over the top of like if I’m not

mistaken it could be like 750 to a

thousand milligrams so we’re just

talking about a few milligrams so

because you’re taking all these

electrolytes

in a group or in a complex that little

bit of calcium

it’s not going to be a factor but I do

understand the request uh we probably

won’t take it completely out but I can

look at it again just to reevaluate

all right well audience must be

listening because believe it or not the

question which just was asked which

epigenetic factor is better at helping

you burn more fat cold or heat therapy

in the audience as Terry designate says

Burr cold therapy what do you think Don

yeah you don’t you don’t stimulate any

brown fat you don’t increase your

metabolism because of that

when you do heat therapy it’s going to

be the cold therapy so the cold therapy

has a very specific additional benefit

because they’re kind of cross over they

do a lot of similar things is with

recovery and brain Improvement between

those two therapies but that cold it’s

more uncomfortable it it can actually

help you lose a good amount of weight so

it’s a really cool Factor kind of

um

you think about what a calorie is has to

do with heat right releasing heat

um

you’re releasing a lot of heat when you

do the cold therapy and so it’s a good I

think it’s a great thing for weight loss

and it’s also good for brain health and

it’s really uncomfortable so you know it

must be good for you right Steve oh my

gosh well you told me five seconds at

first can you clue Us in the audience as

to how you’re doing with your coal

plunge oh yeah uh I I I brought I can’t

do the 37 degrees uh Fahrenheit I had to

go up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit and

that’s at 10 degrees Celsius and I can

do that now for about five minutes wow

so it’s definitely getting better it’s

getting easier it’s like the first

minute and a half all of a sudden and

then everything goes numb after that and

you’re just like okay I can do this all

day I’ll be done it’s

um

I like it it’s a really good therapy

well that’s exciting all right doc one

question left and these have been some

great questions today and here it is

okay out of all the types of exercise

which specific type

spikes growth hormone the most and this

would also relate to the testosterone oh

interesting All Right audience you’ve

done so well today uh carry on with that

let’s see oh Sylvia door from YouTube

can you please do a live stream with

your goats so um oh yeah that’s

definitely doable yeah I can bring them

in the house and you can see them for

sure well I tell you what Billy was just

so adorable Mike and last time we saw

Billy he was just barely a handful or

about the size of a cat I’m sure is

Billy grown now is he a big guy no no he

hasn’t really grown too much more but

he’s a dwarf uh goat but they’re they’re

really complement the other animals

because they eat all the weeds

they don’t eat as much grass they like

the weeds and they’ll eat these pricker

bushes and I’m just amazed that they

they uh they will eat all those things

uh so they’re very fascinating creatures

wow okay and from YouTube after doing

keto and if for a while

uh not in the best way I now have been

diagnosed with anemia isn’t it is it

possible to do fasting ever again if

that makes sense doc

well I think um is it an iron anemia or

a B12 Anemia if you’re doing the keto

that I recommend you’re doing uh red

meat and you’re doing you know fish and

you’re doing um

things that have B12 and iron that

should be good but the other factor is

that you need a good strong acid stomach

so that betaine hydrochloride might help

you

um and then let’s say you’re

you’re doing that you still have anemia

maybe you need to take a supplement like

a concentrated um

spleen extract would be a really good

one for anemia because maybe you uh

menstruate I don’t know so these are

just things to look at to see how you

can counter it

okay this is interesting black from

YouTube I’m 17 and I’m having a conster

a constant hunger feeling under my chest

and near my stomach this has been going

on for a year what’s going on uh that’s

interesting

well uh the biggest indicator to know

that keto is working and you’re burning

fat is your hunger goes away so I can

guarantee you that this person is not

doing the low carb am I doing the higher

carb or the frequent meals which will

make them hungry all the time and not be

able to go from one meal to the next

without being ravenously hungry so you

need to add more fat and do less carbs

and you will find that your hunger goes

away

very good the very best audience in the

world has whipped through the last

question which asked out of all types of

exercise which specific type of exercise

spikes the wonderful growth hormone the

most sixty percent say it’s high

intensity exercise 20 say it’s aerobic

exercise and 10 say it’s weight lifting

and 10 say it’s walking

so so the high intensity and weight

training and is correct but specifically

sprinting

sprinting is the one I was looking for

sprinting does if you do it right you

actually work the whole body

and it’s the highest intensity type of

workout because you’re you’re using the

whole body for this flat out Sprint For

What 10 seconds so

um as I was revisiting this I’m like wow

this is this is quite a workout this is

a short workout too so uh Steve I think

you would agree anyone can at least

spend 10 seconds working out right I

mean that’s not much to ask for a person

you can actually hold your breath and do

a Sprint for 10 seconds but um

undoing the sprinting uphills now

because it’s actually easier on my knees

and uh

um but the sprinting combined with the

cold therapy and the heat therapy with

fasting and keto is what I’m doing right

now it’s like I’m doing I’m doing a

video on that but um if the key with

sprinting is to make sure you know of

course

do it at your own you know level don’t

overdo it if you have a bad joint or a

knee problem but

um it’s a great great uh exercise and

you would just do 10 seconds and then

you would wait for a while maybe just go

back to what you’re doing and then do

like seven of those a day

does flat out Sprints and uh Watch What

Happens you’ll start feeling really

really good and it helps um on many

different levels because you have to

this massive explosion of all your

muscles have to be coordinated and you

know you want to wear flatter shoes you

want to um if you can run in the grass

that’s the best

um so that’s the exercise that can

greatly help you reverse that aging

process

all right very good this is probably our

final deal for the day and j7 Pro from

YouTube is iodine okay for someone with

hypothyroid hypothyroid say that for me

especially especially it’s for someone

with hypothyroidism because you need to

build up those uh thyroid

um hormones with iodine as a precursor

don’t forget selenium that’s for the

conversion of T4 to T3 so like c-calp

has both and has zinc too so um yeah

that’s uh you don’t want to take iodine

if you have hyperthyroid but hypo is is

what you want to do all right very good

well we’ve got a new sort of thing here

I’m going to bring in a little Bumper

Music to remind the audience and you

that we’re ready to go out for the week

well thank you thank you so much for all

your attention and your patience and uh

tolerating the glitch in the system that

Steve promises he will completely and

utterly fix next time absolutely

um but I appreciate your attention stay

tuned for more videos and have a

wonderful weekend

foreign
