this is the dr. Berg show live from the

nation’s capital it’s time to get

healthy lose weight and feel great call

now to speak with dr. Berg at eight six

six five six one four two nine two and

now dr. Eric Berg

hey guys we’re back again this time

we’re doing it in the morning

so some of you in the California time it

might be early but you know I’ll alter

them as we go but I’m here to answer

your questions if you have a question

the number is 866 5 6 1 4 2 9 2 should

be somewhere on the bottom of the screen

there but I have a lot of questions

already people been waiting so let’s go

right to it the first question I have is

from Margaret from Austin Texas go ahead

Margaret you’re on the air good morning

thank you for taking my call dr. Burke I

have a question for you I started the

ketogenic diet last Monday and since

Monday that step last Friday I lost 12

pounds and I’m now at 14 pounds now but

the problem that I’m having is that I’ve

been struggling with the back pulse rate

heart pulse rate then I’m also getting

these extreme muscle like charley horses

in both of my legs now in my feet so I

should purchase your potassium energy

you know electrolytes and stuff like

that I guess my questions are you how

long before I guess I’ll start kind of

feeling like I’m back to normal

I’ve taken the 1006 so it appears that

I’m very much in a ketogenic diet but

it’s just the symptoms that I’m trying

to overcome a certainty the fast heart

rate just keeps kicking and standing up

I mean I don’t I’m not even doing

anything right I feel like that what is

your pulse rate okay what is your pulse

rate I’ve seen it up to about 130 Anna

resting now oh don’t know that I told

Jack that is my resting that is my

resting time and a lot of times and now

I’m now that a few days have gone by I’m

now my resting rate is about 103 116 so

your resting pulse rate is between 103

to 116 yeah and did you ever have a high

pulse rate before I did not okay not not

to my knowledge and I I think I know I’m

not Mogwai no I’ve never felt like I’m

you know going up a meeting there’s

nothing like I’ve worked out all day I

guess if that makes sense yeah okay so

let’s talk about that Margaret

because the normal pulse rate is 70s mm

wake up yeah that’s pretty high I would

do two things I would start down that

stuff like three scoops the day spread

out and honestly I probably would

communicate with my office let them know

that I’m interested in knowing your

pulse rate over the next three days to

make sure it comes down gradually if

it’s not coming down I need to give you

some other suggestions but if you’re

going into ketosis and you are already

potassium deficient now the problem is

when you do a normal blood test most the

potassium is inside the cell so they’re

just measuring the blood potassium which

is is not going to show up unless you’re

very very very very deficient so when

you switch over to fat-burning you’re

using new enzymes new cellular machinery

that require more potassium and B

vitamins so you probably were very

deficient going into this so you better

make sure that your your vegetables are

between seven to ten cups a day a

vegetable I would do a vacarros I would

also do three servings of my electrolyte

powder that’ll give you another three

thousand milligrams of potassium it

should start coming down and if it does

great no problem keep doing it so it

should happen pretty quick but it takes

a while if you’re that deficient it’s

going to take weeks to really replenish

the potassium deficiency the other thing

that can raise a pulse rate is B vitamin

deficiencies b1 so get some nutritional

yeast start taking that as well and that

way you’ll you’ll go through this

transition pretty easy but the two main

minerals or nutrients that are that most

people need doing this keto and

intermittent fasting is potassium and b1

and some of the other B vitamins but

those are the two things that I would do

and the fact that you’re Charlie horses

are are present the electrolyte has also

the trace minerals calcium magnesium and

all these other things so I think that

should handle it and yes it just

communicated me Kim

Kait with my office and let them know

I’m interested over the next few days if

it’s not coming down yeah so that’s what

I would do

thanks for calling Margaret hey al

you’re on the air you’re from Michigan

you had a question

hey dr. Berg thank you so much for

taking this phone call and I really

appreciate it I’ve been a fan of your

channel for some time I’m just I really

have a few questions I’m hoping that you

can answer go I know you just important

I know you’ve got the importance of

getting enough potassium in your diet

and I agree with you but should we be

concerned about our sodium intake as

well there are some sites online that

mentioned getting between four to six

grams of it on the ketogenic diet is

this something you would agree with

that’s a really good question al good

now do we have any other questions no

it’s good now let me answer that

question yes people are kind of freaked

out about sodium when you do a ketogenic

diet and intermittent fasting you’re

going to lose fluid excess fluid and

electrolytes not just potassium but

maybe even magnesium sodium so if you’re

deficient in sodium a lot of times

people get headaches so that’s one

indication or fatigue so yes you want to

increase your salt on a ketogenic diet

for sure and especially if you take and

you start feeling better now as far as

you’re needing four to five grams no at

the very most I would do maybe one and a

half to two grams but that’s like a half

a teaspoon of salt it’s not much maybe

to a fourth to a half a teaspoon of salt

so it’s not a crazy amount but yeah we

increase the potassium increase your

sodium because we need both and that’s a

really really really good point I just

make sure that I you know eat salty

foods like I do the cheese I do the I do

olives things like that so absolutely

but you don’t need like 4 to 5 grams

you’re going to start retaining fluid

but if you take more potassium you need

more sodium people tend to be in a low

sodium diet and they what they really

should do is increase their potassium to

increase the ability to

hold sodium because they both work in

kind of opposites but you need both of

them so you never want to just do one

specific mineral that’s why we if you

look at in nature vegetables tend to not

be high in sodium they’re high in

potassium so naturally we need more so

we need a ratio of four-to-one four

times as much potassium and sodium and

that’s why it’s 4700 to about a thousand

milligrams of sodium but realize when

you’re getting salt because let’s say

you have one unit of salt well that

doesn’t mean you’re getting one minute

of sodium here it’s a lower amount of

sodium because the sodium chloride so

you would want to have a little more

salt to get your thousand milligrams of

actual sodium itself all right hope that

helped out hey Chuck you’re on the air

you’re from Atlanta you two question

okay dr. Burke thanks for taking our

call I’m sitting here with my wife now

questions really is kind of twofold

you’re doing a keeper genik diet we want

to know if she can be given a ketosis

because it hasn’t yet been a couple

months I have I’ve lost my family but

she’s not listening anything basically

few pounds or so her issue is she’s a

feral pig that excite she’s had a total

third federate ectomy Lance

there’s no thyroid had a total

hysterectomy no worries or anything at

coming in because of pulmonary embolism

at one time years ago and acid reflux

headaches he got type thing basically we

don’t push it converting her teeth

before the TTP so we just afford to do

she had some blood work a solute broken

cookies the back wisdom check her for

that so you know can she get in the

ketosis if she has all the issues get

bigger where do we start

okay good question Chuck now we’re

dealing with the situation where a lot

of people are not just doing any plan

because they have weight issues they

have a lot of other health issues so

you’re going to have to deal with that I

really think that she would probably

benefit from the membership side I have

because I have like over 250 videos and

handlings of other health issues because

it’s all about getting healthy lose

weight not losing weight to get healthy

but let’s just let’s cover a couple

things the fact that she doesn’t have a

thyroid means her metabolism is going to

be extra slow so that means that she’s

really going to have to practice the

intermittent fasting more than you would

so for those people I would graduate

them to two meals and then go to one

meal a day just make sure that’s a

really healthy meal

that’s probably what it’s going to take

to get her into some serious fat burning

now hysterectomy of course now the

pressure and the stress and the is the

adrenal because the adrenals are the

backup to the ovaries so you’re going to

probably support the adrenal gland

because of that loss of organs I don’t

know if she retained your ovaries or not

maybe she did this took up the uterus

but still anytime you have a surgery it

creates more adrenal stress now the fact

that she’s on chromatin that is a drug

that tends to block vitamin K so she

can’t have items’ in K vegetables which

complicates everything because now she

can’t do the deep dark leafy greens I

did a video if you search it on YouTube

on what other additional vegetables she

can have like cabbage and yellow squash

and things like that so she can do that

she needs to watch that she needs to

consume that in high amounts but

unfortunately it adds another layer of

complexity the other thing is the acid

reflux that is a pH deficiency she

doesn’t have enough acid it’s a acidic

pH deficiency so you have to add I would

get the opposite of vinegar plus pills

and start taking three to four with each

meal that should correct the acid reflux

so those are the things that you’re

going to have to do to make this work

but that’s why it’s slow right now but

you can still do it

it just takes more strategic handling of

other health problems thanks Chuck hey

Renee you’re on the air you’re from

California oh yes I their question was

about vitamin D and I so I found that if

I take anything

over 500 milligrams I start feeling like

I’m on a caffeine high the jittery

feeling okay and also it starts turning

into anxiety got it

okay do you have any gall bladder issues

or digestive problems were they I do

have a lot of digestive problems that

have never really I was told I had

gastritis but I don’t really know that I

believe that but I’ve had off and on for

the past 20 years a lot of digestive

problems you get bloating yeah okay

you have constipation burping

constipation no no no constipation okay

and do you have any adrenal stress oh

yeah okay I okay all right good question

let’s just talk about that vitamin A

deficiencies can come from high levels

of cortisol because the adrenals are

working too hard when the adrenal gland

increases cortisol through the stress

hormone it depletes your vitamin D

absorption but it doesn’t make sense

that you would then take it and have

these reactions almost like a stimulant

so more than likely especially because

you mentioned burping that is a bile

deficiency because the gall bladder is

not releasing for some reason enough

bile salts so if you take vitamin D

which is a fat soluble vitamin you’re

going to notice that you’re not going to

break it down effectively so it can

actually create maybe a stimulatory

effect I think the best thing that I

would do with you is I would take

something called the gall bladder

formula which has in it bile salts and a

bunch of other things to help emulsify

the fats better break them down take one

after each meal and over a period of

probably maybe two weeks then start

adding a little bit of vitamin D into it

then you’ll start to absorb it I would

take vitamin D with the gall bladder

formula at the same time so it breaks it

down but that’s what I think you’re up

against and then make sure if you take

vitamin D you take vitamin k2 with it

because vitamin k2

works with vitamin D together so if you

have too much vitamin D you become

deficient in vitamin k2 vitamin k2 helps

metabolize and work with the vitamin D

but I think the biggest thing is the

digestive issues that I think if you

took that that would kill two birds with

one stone help your digestion help you

absorb d3 if that doesn’t fully handle

it then you know you might have a

sensitivity to vitamin D believe it or

not some people are have allergic

reactions to vitamin D even maybe even

the source of the vitamin D that you’re

getting it so that’s another thing I

would look at and of course sometimes it

could even be the capsule that the

vitamin D comes in I don’t know

so take a look at those things Renee but

thanks for calling hey listen D D you’re

from New York you had a question about

your friends heart issue oh yes thank

you for taking my call first of all and

secondly thank you for all the advice

and vitamins work pretty well in my

adrenal fatigue so I’m in the process of

recovery and yeah basically what my

friend has he had a heart attack a minor

heart attack a while on an overseas life

from Europe to I mean from America to

Europe while on tour and basically then

after that heart failure work you know

minor heart attack what happened was

they gave him blood thinners while in

Europe and the net losses were certain

time and he’s into holistic medicine

himself but you know unfortunately he

has both alcohol use and drug abuse past

he’s off of alcohol and drugs as of now

and has being up you know far drugs were

almost 20 years and basically what’s

happening is you know I stole him before

he left for this current tour and he was

so weak I was like okay what is your

what is your diagnosis what did they

tell you and basically they told him

that he had reduced ejection fraction of

prescribed him medicine for that guitar

to the functions of 25% and they told

him oh yeah the diet should be just

basically

no sugar and well that is great but

basically they also told to no fats such

as you know avoid cholesterol and all

the regular stuff what they say and so

I’m curious when he get back you know

and I’m going to be emailing from

whatever whatever we’re talking about it

just um where do you even start with

this kind of situation and you know

obviously I kind of can’t assess that he

has a liver body type although not you

know not like a another like we talked

about the guys mosquitoes

but you know so I would assume there

would be also fatty liver but you know

where do you even start if you have a

doctor which which is describing you

certain medication and then I say you

cannot be eggs or you cannot eat any fat

and basically take the medication and I

listen to your energy in the hard

webinar recordings and I was kind of

shocked because technically I mean how

do you even go about this yeah what I’ll

find out

yeah you know I mean yeah okay let me

let me cover it you do let me cover that

the first thing I’d say is anything that

I’m advising check with your doctor

first I’m not going to make any claims

that you’re going to be healed or cured

of any medical diseases in fact

everything I say is basically just

information to do research with you and

your doctor that being said let me just

give you my opinion on on this situation

to improve it naturally the thing that

that you need to know especially with

heart attacks and decrease ejection with

the heart the hearts basically it’s

weakened the tissue is weakened the

heart is like you have four different

problems with the heart you have the

muscle problem the circulation you have

value ler and you have an electrical

problem so muscle electrical lobular and

then vascular so you can have a heart

attack from a clogged artery you can

have a heart attack from the heart

muscle failing itself that’s a

and that’s what I want to talk about

because the heart responds to nutrition

faster than any organ now when you talk

about B vitamins you ever notice you got

b1 b2 b3 but then it skips to b5 like

what about b4

whereas before there’s a bottom before

if you look you’d have to research it to

get the data but button before is

specifically in research with pigeons

which I’m not going to get into has

shown to improve the heart muscle

function and it’s something that is not

isolated but if you were to get a

nutritional yeast product you would have

some of that in there unfortunately in

the beet complex that you have usually

comes from unrefined grains that’s where

you have all the B’s but then when you

grind the grain turn in the flour it

oxidizes after like six days and you

kind of lose the B vitamins that’s why

they enrich wheat and then when you

consume refined wheat you start creating

B value deficiencies so originally if

you if you can grind your own wheat of

course you don’t want to do it because

it has gluten and it has turns into

sugar but if you can grind your wheat

you have nice B vitamin complexes and

vitamin E but that being said

nutritional yeast is the best bet to

actually give some of that b4 about in

b4 and b1 and some of the other would be

vitamins that he needs that will

actually make the heart stronger when

the heart suffers from B vitamins it

actually works harder and it loses its

tone and on an x-ray

it actually sags and it looks like it’s

enlarged so it’s part of the Megillah it

looks like it’s bigger so B vitamins

number one nutritional yeast in larger

quantities maybe three tablespoons a day

second thing is he needs a real good

vitamin E not synthetic is as much of

the complex as you can get buy them in

eetu increasing increase the oxygen

carrying capacity to the heart and more

than any other vitamin so it takes the

stress off of the heart it’s it’s almost

like a natural version of

TRO - you know people take that to

prevent heart attacks so it it will

really actually help oxygenate the heart

if you look on certain mountaintops most

of the high level of mountaintops where

you have mountain climbers that climb

these mountains and they go in the high

altitude they can actually breathe

better if they take vitamin E so it

increases the oxygen in the body and

you’ll see empty bottles of these

vitamin E so I’ve heard from several

mountain climbers like these see all

these empty bottles about a minute why

because it increases the oxygen carrying

capacity so taking a really good vitamin

E that’s going to actually take the

stress off the heart as far as

cholesterol goes oh my gosh I just

interviewed two really key people who

had genetic high cholesterol and they do

the ketogenic in a minute fasting with

egg yolks and they have normal

cholesterol now and you’ll see those

being released so I mean think about it

the worst you can consume for high

cholesterol is high carbohydrates like

refined sugar so they said don’t avoid

that but if you start cutting down your

cholesterol your body’s just going to

make more and you’re not going to be

able to make the stress hormones adrenal

hormones effectively all the hormones

that are made from steroid need

cholesterol as their foundation so I

disagree with avoiding cholesterol I

think he needs that I think that’s going

to help his heart I think he just needs

to go on intermittent fasting ketosis do

it he’ll eat lots of vegetables the same

thing I’ve been educating everyone on

and that’s going to improve it over time

so if these on Akuma tin and that would

be unfortunate because that’s usually

the blood thinner that they put people

on that complicates things because then

he can’t actually heal it but he’s just

going to have to make up the damage from

years of alcohol abuse to get his body

back in a good shape but B vitamins and

vitamin E that’s the two thing that the

nutrients that he needs to focus on all

right all right so then we have a

Rosalyn you’re from Florida go ahead

you’re on the air oh good morning dr.

Burke I have a question for you yeah

and I thank you for your massage tool

your adrenal pack and your wheatgrass in

the wonderful video so thank you for

sharing knowledge I so appreciate it I

have a question for you I have a

condition called pigment Airy dispersive

syndrome and with the eyes and recently

it has caused elevated IOP and i

recently had the procedure the SLT

procedure on both eyes and it did allow

it somewhat but it’s not lowering it

enough where they’re comfortable and

they have me using what kind of post

drops and just wanted to know is there

any natural path or naturally lowing

lowing the IOP in the eyes yeah good

question let’s talk about that get a

piece of paper and a pen and write this

down for this this problem I would

recommend going getting a standard

process product there’s two products

from standard process the company you

probably get online or find a health

care practitioner call the company find

out there’s a local health care

practitioner in your area that carries

these two products but here’s who’s the

two things one there’s something called

AC carbamide which is good for the

pressure good for glaucoma good for

increase decreasing pressure in the eye

it has a natural form of urea which is a

real soluble substance that helps

decrease certain edema and pressure

specifically through the eye and that’s

what’s in there it’s hard to find

another product with that a lot of times

you’ll find it in facial creams and

things to hydrate the skin but in this

product it’s called AC carbamide okay

get that product that will actually I

think it’s going to help lower the

pressure in the eyes it’s one thing

number two there’s another dynamite

product it’s called ocular trophy PMG

ocular troph in PMG okay that product is

amazing it’s great to repair the eye of

damage I’ll give an example like let’s

say you had surgery on the eye boom you

need that

it works like within like 30 seconds

it’s just fast or you or like me um

years ago when my daughter was younger

we’re sitting on the couch and she had

an envelope and I’m sitting there and

somehow she you know brought the

envelope up and I turned and the sharp

edge of the envelope sliced my eye

cornea and ever since then I mean like

it was so much pain and in it I’d go to

the eye doctor and they would heal but

then the chunk would pop out and they

were going to put little holes in there

so there was a lot of damage with my eye

and I had dry eyes at the time and so I

had trauma out of the eye nothing was

going to fix that thing and like I kept

trying different things so then when

they took ocular tropen PMG it kind of

gave the eye all the repair reparative

materials that I needed I mean it was

instant I felt instantly better so if

you had a history of damage to the eye

research of the eye take that one and I

would probably take three a day spread

out I think you’re going to notice a lot

of improvement especially if you had

retinal damage or some type of past

trauma and it’s that’s not healing boom

do that

ocular trophy and PMG and AC carbamide

okay hey Laura you’re from East Texas

you’re to question authority and fasting

oh yeah hello hi hello thanks for taking

my call um yes basically I have a flow

tyroid and I didn’t know about it till

probably about last January and I am

taking the bystander process the

thyrotropin I know you’ve mentioned that

in one of your videos before I’m taking

that and I have adrenal issues but I

lose weight really really really slow

like in the last two minutes and I’ve

been doing keto for like a long time now

in the last two months I think only lost

like three pounds but I think a lot of

my issue is stressed because I’m

constantly worried about I’ve got to get

back any of these clothes without fit

back into these clothes you know

why why am I getting away so easily and

then I started incorporating

intermittent fasting but my question is

since it’s so slow should I just do the

1 mil a day cuz right now I’m down to 2

mils within like a five-hour window so

oh oh also it’s a fasting and of itself

is that going to help me with spiralling

down the road is that going to help

repair it and on our taking that

thyrotropin is that going to do more

harm than good in the long run because I

don’t want to be taking that the rest of

my life so a couple questions number one

do you crave any sweets and not really

not anymore good are you less hungry

yeah pretty much

okay is your energy higher um

energy yeah actually it seems to be okay

do you have a history of gallbladder

issues at all um not that I know of but

one thing when I used to eat like a ton

of nuts or nut butter seemed like I put

on more white when I ate that okay and

that’s quite a lot of it got it last

question do you have a history of heavy

periods um no actually not for a period

of three years I didn’t have one because

of birth control and got off of that and

so right now it’s just been kind of

normal it’s been lighter than usual I’m

35 so I don’t know if that has anything

to do with it was there anything that

occurred just before you got a Thorat

issue um well yeah I was like super

stressed because I was obsessed with my

weight so that maybe I don’t know okay

so let’s just give you some things

pointers or a couple things there’s

usually thyroid issues are secondary to

some other thing either gallbladder or

birth control pills that will lower the

thyroid if you’re still taking birth

control pills are you still taking birth

control pills no that’s been about five

years ago now I got off of her okay

Thermage open honestly you see some

results I don’t see a lot of results

with that it’s not bad as a supplement

but it’s

it’s like treating the symptom it’s not

getting to the root cause that’s just my

opinion some people disagree but usually

thyroid is a bile issue liver problem or

high estrogen which doesn’t sound like

that’s your issue or high cortisol

stress but I don’t know because I can’t

really see you and I don’t know all the

history but what I do know is that

you’re doing sounds like you’re doing

better with this

Paquito and everything but if you do

keto without an immanent fasting you may

not handle the high levels of insulin

and that most people have so in a minute

fasting is the key to making the insulin

dysfunction work improve so yes I would

graduate to one meal a day because it

sounds like your metabolism is ultra

slow so the key to protect the thyroid

is make sure you don’t cut your calories

and what does that mean it means that

you just want to eat a really

nutrient-dense healthy meal if you’re

doing one one meal a day you better make

sure that meal is super healthy lots of

greens and you’re not going to be able

to get by with just three ounces of

protein in a small salad you have to

have a massive salad healthy fats and of

course probably you’re sensitive to nuts

make sure those vegetables are not

bloating you so you might not want to

switch it around and make sure you have

a good amount of protein you’re probably

need like something like 8 ounces of

protein with that meal and then maybe so

get some digestive help and that is the

trick about doing one meal a day is that

how you’re going to get all your

nutrients you have to really eat a lot

and you might get a little bloating but

you just want to make sure you don’t cut

your calories and that should be fine

with the thyroid and then now because

you’re getting improvements in your

you’re going to find overtime as the

health improves like you your energy is

better less craving less hunger it’ll

start working more and more and more

over time because it’s sometimes it

takes months to fix insulin resistance

and some people need that one meal a day

that’s what I would do with you and the

fact that it’s slow means you must have

had a really messed-up metabolism or

hormones at one time and you’re still in

the process of healing that so I would

also not measure your weight every day I

would do it every two weeks and just

forget about it put your attention on

something else because as soon as you

start worrying and thinking

there goes cortisol that’s going to slow

your weight down right there by being

concerned about it so get yourself

really busy to focus on other things

right now but just stick with the one

meal a day

make sure it’s probably add some of the

supplements I recommend like the the

insulin and glucose support which will

speed up the process of helping support

dysfunction with insulin so that will

speed you up it’s it’s because it’s like

it doesn’t actually cause weight to come

off but it actually helps the the root

issue to speed up the metabolism so

that’s one thing I think that would help

you but other than that give it more

time to one meal a day and I and you

will eventually lose the weight I had

one gal just real quick she had the same

situation but she didn’t even lose

anything for uh four months but somehow

she stuck with it she comes in a couple

years later it was in the winter time

and she just gave my office and she took

off her jacket I was like what the heck

I didn’t recognize her she had like her

body was perfect she lost all this

weight it just took more time than other

people but when she lost she really was

happy with that and resolved but it took

a little longer unfortunately but just

the estimation of effort is sometimes

people see their husband lose weight and

then ulsan they’re like why can’t I do

the same thing so they get frustrated

and give up but it just especially if

you get into your late 30s and 40s it’s

going to take a little bit more okay hey

Kelly you’re on the air you’re from

Kentucky hi dr. berry how are you doing

good how are you I’m doing fine thank

you um I have two questions okay

basically I am a CNA and I work second

shift 2:30 or 10:30 and I don’t normally

eat until around by 1:00 because that’s

basically when I’m hungry I workout in

the morning time Orly

maybe thirty minutes to an hour um I

also an orange better mean doctor may

try to help yesterday me to help me lose

weight as well but my question is by me

working the 2:30 to 10:30 in me actually

eating my first meal maybe I’ll say 1:30

they Jewish um my dinner time schedule

wise will be like 8:00 7:30 8 o’clock at

night and I try not to eat that late but

I know I need to least eat at least

twice in one day or at least one good

meal because normally when I eat at one

two maybe two o’clock is something real

quick it’s not something you know we’re

all solid I should say it may be like a

salad or something just something just

put in my stomach because I know I need

to eat something um what would you

recommend for someone that has it at

schedule yeah so the key thing with the

third shift you said the second shift

not the third shift right yes - very

dirty the key with that is not to do

rotational shifts because that’s going

to just destroy everything

people that have rotate sometimes second

shift sometimes third or they might do

it then the weekends they go back to

their same shift it’s really a situation

on the metabolism because it’s it’s

creating confusion so if you’re going to

do second shift

unfortunately I would recommend

maintaining that even days that you have

off if at all possible and keeping your

diet consistent so you’re not freaking

everything out and even if it’s a third

shift keep it consistent so I think you

need to focus on the quality of your

foods to make sure that you have the

vegetable and the protein and the fat

with each of your meals now I have

videos on the percentages you can get

all that data but I think that’s what

you need to do between you and me and

the four walls personally I would not

recommend the fence I mean I’m going to

tell you why the

because you’re trying to speed up your

metabolism but what you’re doing is

you’re actually burning it out at the

same time your metabolism doesn’t need

to be stimulated it’s over stimulated

and that’s what this does it actually

will increase the adrenal issues and

it’s only designed to do a short-term

thing so a lot of people who take at the

end up slowing the metabolism down the

road your metabolism is a end result of

good insulin so once you fix the insulin

your metabolism will go up without

trying to artificially boost it so

that’s just my opinion and I think it’s

going to it might do a little short-term

thing but then end up destroying things

in the end so that’s what I would

recommend but that’s pretty much it I

hope that gave you some tips there

alright good so now Ken if you’re on the

air you’re from Atlanta hey how’s it

going thank you I get my call sure good

yeah I just I started like a ketogenic

diet I guess about two weeks ago maybe I

need too much protein because I just did

I’ve been I’m type two diabetic I’ve had

my gallbladder removed but lately my

numbers have been pretty good as far as

my blood sugar levels go I you know the

dog has got me on Jen you met what was

dead and what’s in a pearl and I was

just wondering because I look at my

numbers and everything from the six

point seven to seven point zero and a

one C I was wondering how long it takes

for that number to come down and I also

noticed that my LDL went up to like 134

and should I be concerned about that was

that before or after you started this

program I started like about two weeks

ago maybe being on the candida diet

because I noticed that my numbers were

not looking good oh so basically the ldr

that you found the LDLs were high before

you even started um no they were

actually in the normal

last time I had my blood work then but

this time they’re higher when did you

have the test um like three days ago

okay okay um all right good question I

know I know I panicked like yeah I can’t

expect it to be overnight

hey these are really good questions um

now the question I have for you are you

doing keto and in a minute asking or

just keto uh I’m trying to be

intermittent passing as well okay I

probably lost already a good you know

five to six pounds at least since I’ve

started okay good all right so Kenneth

let’s talk about that definitely start

watching the videos that I’m going to be

releasing in the next week yesterday I

just did six interviews with people and

you’re going to want to hear this

because some of these guys were we’re

diabetics and then you’ll see what their

cycle is because if the LDL goes up and

sometimes it does on a ketogenic diet

and intermittent fasting is because your

fat cells are shrinking a lot of that

cholesterol in the fat cell has to come

out it’s not burned as fat so it has to

go through the liver and the gallbladder

so it goes up that’s not a bad thing

that needs to come out as long as you’re

having enough vegetables to keep it

flushed that is not going to be a

problem because it’s going to venture

come down even in some people with

genetic high cholesterol which don’t

take my word you can listen to these

these people that are going to tell you

and their personal experience which is

quite shocking they even actually found

doctors that were Pro keto and then says

hey just give it more time and a

disadvantage Lee came down now it’s

standard cholesterol tests they don’t

measure both types of LDL there’s two

types one is a so-called bad one is good

one is kind of fluffy and big that’s

just going through the RT the other one

is small dense and sticky that tends to

be involved in the reaction so you don’t

really know which one it is it’s

probably the bigger one so the key is

looking at your triglycerides if your

triglycerides are coming down and the

HDL is normal or high then you’re fine

you don’t have to worry about if the LDL

is high watch my video on that too for

more explanations now that the a1c is an

average

insulin over a period of three months so

we’re just looking at average so that’s

going to start coming down but you only

do it for two weeks you’re going to have

to wait a few months but you can see

it’s going to come down down down down

down especially if you follow the Kido

and in a me fascin like I show people do

it gradually make sure it’s healthy

don’t do with low quality materials or

foods so I think you just need to give

it more time and then as you get better

the need for statins the need for the

medication will go down and definitely

get your doctor to reduce that if not

take you off that stuff because the

statins are going to interfere with your

your production of cholesterol that can

throw things off as well we want that

cholesterol to be normal but again the

best thing is to get educated on it

learn for yourself because if you’re if

you’re working with a doctor that

doesn’t understand keto they’re not

going to really want to take you off of

it so that’s the big problem so you have

to find someone that’s willing to work

with you because the goal is not to keep

you on medication the rest of your life

that’s not the goal someone says that

like there’s one doctor says well I

think everyone should be on statins it

should be in our water supply well

that’s insane so I disagree

all right thanks Ken hey Christine

you’re on the air you’re from Florida

yes thank you um thank you for take Hill

Oh No yes okay all right thank you for

taking the cold after bear I am very

pleased and write thankful for all your

videos and information you gave us so

generously thank you very much um I just

started oh like about a month ago taking

the I have been say healthy most of my

life thank God ah

and I thought that was really healthy

until I started watching your videos and

there were problems but I am but I wish

I was having

especially my nails were very frail I

have these ridges and they just broke

easily it was terrible and I never wore

any false nails or anything like that I

try to keep my nails but it was really

terrible for me until like about a month

ago I started taking the apple cider

vinegar and about 3 days later it was

just so amazing and my nails just became

so hard and strong that I can do

anything I have been doing everything I

can and I haven’t broken a nail on both

of em one and that’s just amazing

incredible and my question is well I

have other problems you know like my

hair falling and this thing just cost me

to wonder so I know I have been looking

and fall trying to follow the u.s. ice

regarding the diet and vitamins and all

those things but still I am so amazed

and why why my nails became so strong in

such a short time and still you know I

know that I have tuition so maybe more

to get all the problems I corrected but

I’m just so amazed about it that’s my

first question and the second one is

they live in my eyes I am I I don’t wear

glasses because one of my eyes with was

one eye I can see far away with the

other one I can see close so it kind of

compensate but I notice also that after

I started with this eye beside of

vinegared I have been doing it

faithfully for a month only also I

became like a little cloudy at the

beginning and I was noticing there were

certain problems he have any he has been

improving I noticed too but as I said in

lower-right okay so those are my

questions thank you you’re welcome

okay so the first thing the reason why

the upside of vinegar works is because

if the stomach pH is not acid enough

you’re not going to break down protein

the purpose of the hydrochloric acid the

stomach is to break down protein which

guess what your nails are made of in the

hair protein and absorb minerals

specific specifically you know well both

regular minerals and trace minerals both

of those are needed to to metabolize the

proteins so with people with nail hair

skin issues a lot of times you just need

to acidify the stomach damn everything

improves sometimes you need to add the

trace minerals I use a liquid plant base

which because our 15,000 times smaller

and they’re easier to absorb and then

then you’ll be fine as far as the hair

goes if your hair doesn’t improve that

means that it’s going beyond just a lack

of protein because the hair you have to

feed it so one of the things I have a

hair formula that has all the nutrients

into the B vitamins the silica that has

stinging nettle root if there’s an

autoimmune alopecia so it has it’s very

comprehensive to handle different

scenarios that might be an option for

you but I think the cloudiness and I is

it’s improving so I’m not going to say

stop it because and in the transition of

absorbing protein and by the way the eye

needs to have amino acids to actually

replenish it I would just keep doing

that until you get a lot better

improvement because this is a recent

change I have a video on the eyes that I

think you should watch especially if

there’s one that is different than the

other eye and it’s simply an exercise to

get the certain muscle in the eye more

tone less atrophied to allow you to

accommodate for distance or near vision

and you can do this exercise it really

does work but everyone’s like sit in

front of the computer all day and you

actually cause that muscle to atrophy

you don’t go outside your neck looking

way far away so and you would probably

ought to deal with one eye versus the

other and probably the reason why that’s

one eye is a

could have been some damage to one eye

versus the other eye and then now that’s

the weak link so those are some quick

things that I would recommend thanks for

calling hey Artie you’re on the area

from Maryland

yes I am hi how are you so much for

taking the call I’m actually just

recently got into your videos but I

started to you about three months ago I

think I discovered your videos I would

say about four to six weeks ago and

they’ve been so helpful so I do

appreciate that um I do want to let you

know sort of what I do not have any type

of health issues I was just trying to

lose some weight just trying to be and

but I just had two stubborn weight that

just wasn’t coming off you and I was

trying to do it the little car blah blah

blah blah so sure tequila in March I

lost about 12 pounds and just to give

you an idea I started at 156 and now I’m

at 144 my BMI is about 30% and I started

incorporating instruments last thing I

would say about four weeks ago where I

do 16 17 hours of fasting and while I’m

fast nailed to the apple cider vinegar

in the water and I did a black coffee

and I started incorporating hit

exercises and lifting weights and I have

completely reduced my dairy my cheese

intake and I’ve increased the vegetables

I think I was I wasn’t in taking of any

vegetables until I started watching your

videos when you kind of it seemed like

you know those are I feel like I can

definitely have unlimited on the

vegetable so I’ve definitely increased

my vegetables but I am at a standstill

I am stuck at 144 and I shouldn’t just

be looking at the scale but if it’s very

hard not trying even I went to the gym

and I when they told me my BMI still

kind of 30% I was thinking that with all

the weight that I lost I’d kind of be a

little bit lower so I’m just trying to

see how can I shake this Plateau

I’m doing the hit and I’m lifting

weights I’m doing the Internet’s

fascinating apple cider vinegar maybe

the things I’ve never even thought I

would be able to consume the black

coffee

never well it’s also anything well thank

you let me ask you a question are your

cravings gone absolutely okay are you

less hungry yes good how was your energy

level my energy is great when I I mean

usually before I would go to the gym

at night I’d come back home eating

peanut butter because I would think I

don’t need that protein no I don’t do

any of that anymore I stopped eating at

I would say 6:30 go to the gym with my

husband at 8:30

I’m fine until the next day 11:30 12:00

all I need where do you hold the access

point even and even even even when I eat

a sub Safari even when I need I try I’m

really trying to do just to mongus big

meals so I’m not snacking in between so

I so I really I really showed a lot of

discipline and so when you’re throwing

so much discipline I’m not doing the

weight change right I’m kind of getting

discouraged okay oh my god

so how where do you hold the excess

weight a thighs so a mile or half of the

body oh yeah my top half yes nice and

slim but lower half is where I hold all

this have you noticed that your stomach

has gone down oh absolutely

yeah do you have any excess weight in

your stomach now absolutely yeah yeah

okay

did you happen to see my recent video on

I mean I

sorry Artie you’re breaking up but I’m

just going to answer the question

because uh breaking up and I couldn’t

quite hear it so but I think I got the

whole gist of it I just recently

released a video on where you would lose

weight first and second and third

unfortunately and this is what really

pisses women off is they don’t lose

weight in the lower part first where

they want it other than the stomach they

want that off too but the body tends to

will get rid of the visceral fat first

okay and the gut before the lower part

of the body the lower part of the body

especially the thighs

especially for getting into your 40s or

50s that that’s more that could be more

estrogen weight atrophy which is

cellulite and not necessarily all just

fat so I’m glad you’re doing the

high-intensity interval training I think

that

going to work overtime so let’s say for

example you have a combination of like

loss of muscle tone loss of muscle tone

and and you’re also having maybe some

fat but it’s not all fat your body will

go after visceral fat deep into the

Oregon’s first and not go after the

lower part of the extremity you may find

that you hit a plateau so what you’re

gonna have to do is probably bite a

personal trainer that can help you with

this but not just do the high interval

training but do some toning and some

compound resistant exercise to make sure

you focus on lower extremity and start

working on that over a period of time to

actually replenish the the muscle

density and the tone of that because

it’s not just weight it sounds like you

don’t have any other health issues so I

think that’s what you need to do I think

the things that you can improve is

you’re doing sixteen to seventeen hour I

would go to a twenty hour fast go to

that and maybe even even a little bit

more than that as your next step and

then give it more time but I think you

should watch the video on the celluloid

video and improve that okay but let me

just go to the board here and just show

you what I’m talking about just because

some people have a question on that all

right so if we take a look at the

transition the different steps that you

would do you have three meals breakfast

lunch and dinner and step one is to

avoid the snacking so step one is no

more snacking and you’ve done that so

now we have so in other words doing

intermittent fasting no meals late at

night no mid-afternoon snack and just

doing three meals a day

okay that’s step one and then step two

is to start to wake up in the morning

and push this breakfast longer so if

you’re not hungry

which will happen maybe after three days

to two weeks you obviously you’re not

hungry in the morning and you go more

and more let’s say it’s like eight

o’clock you go 9 o’clock 10 o’clock 11

o’clock and you start pushing the time

that you don’t eat so you have a late

breakfast maybe it’s like 11 o’clock

right here or even 12 and you have your

breakfast or you can have your your

lunch and just skip the whole meal and

then let’s say for example we skip this

and then we have one meal and two meal

and this process takes some time okay

because you’re what most people do burn

some ketones at night because you’re

fasting but they’re not key to adapt it

key to adaptive means you actually are

tapping into your fat cells and you’re

actually running on fat consistently not

sugar anymore so what’s going to make

you go from one meal to the next without

the hunger and the cravings is adding

more fat and potassium from vegetables

so you want to act maybe I do a

supplement with potassium or magnesium

or some of the electrolytes just to

actually help you heal the real

underlying cause which is an insulin

dysfunction so the ketogenic diet is

basically your it’s not about if it’s

not a high-fat diet it’s a low

carbohydrate diet and we just have to

add the fats in there to make up the

difference which the fats are going to

help you be more consistent you can’t do

this on low fats because that you’re

going to starve you’re going to be

really really hungry so we have the

ketogenic which doesn’t talk about

snacking so we’re going to combine

ketogenic within a minute fasting so

that’s why we okay this is what you eat

this is the frequency of eating and add

more fat add more electrolytes with the

meals some B vitamins to help you adapt

faster because we’re actually going from

sugar to fat metabolism and we’re making

this transition and your body takes time

and it requires certain nutrients so

give it time before you start adding

these steps and I have a lot of videos

on how to do this you should watch that

now the benefit of doing this is not

just weight loss its cognitive function

your brain does better on ketones that

actually you will repair

neurons you actually grow nerve cells I

mean it’s incredible it will help

anxiety because if you think about it if

your blood sugars I should be like 100

and drops down hypoglycemic and it goes

up and down as soon as the blood sugars

go down its senses certain types of

genes that that activate stress because

your body is sensing low glucose which

puts you in a flight or flight mode

which is survival mode so you have this

anxiety this lower mood and even

depression so when you do this plan your

mood improves greatly incredible no more

anxiety and we’re depression more energy

the need for sleep goes down you’re not

going to need that nap anymore so you

can actually sleep better need less

sleep I need six hours myself I can’t

even get more sleep like my body won’t

let me get sleep because I’m satisfied

so these are all just little factors and

doing this even like seizures epilepsy

are all get improved with this eating

plan too but again you want to combine

it now if you want to take it to the

next level then you want to go from keep

stretching this right here and then push

the dinner this way slowly to the point

where we have a four hour eating window

okay so that means 20 hours 20 hours of

fasting that’s incredible that that

would put you in good shape now if you

have a thyroid problem you’re menopausal

and everything is slow then maybe you

want to go to one meal a day a lot of

people a lot of people basically do not

need to do even two meals I have body

builders that just do one meal a day

because they’re just not hungry anymore

you would think that this would be

dangerous or you’re starving but that’s

not the fact and when you experience

this when you’re running up your body

and fat you’re going to feel so good

you’re not going to want to go back

because just the feeling of fat burning

and the stability with your blood sugars

and your mood and your energy but you

have to prove it to yourself don’t

listen to me just do it and see for

yourself

so one meal a day

the key is when you go from three males

to two males to one male you’re going to

and personally I don’t do one meal I

don’t think I could do that but some

people can you want to make sure that

the nutrients not just general calories

but the nutrients are high enough on two

meals or even one meal so that means

that if you’re going for three meals or

two meals the meals have to be bigger so

how you going to do that you’re going to

have to increase the quality of food the

quality of vegetables you’re not going

to do iceberg lettuce you have to do

something like high quality and you’re

gonna have to do maybe some kale or a

kale shake or like high quality eggs are

good grass-fed you know food wild-caught

fish and probably going to enhance your

diet with some type of food concentrate

supplement maybe the wheatgrass powder

or something like that

but the point is that you might have

this incredibly full meal with more

protein eight maybe even the nine ounces

of protein a little more fat and a huge

thing of salad or vegetables that’s what

you’re going to have to eat for that one

meal so you’re going to be pretty filled

up but that is your nutrient requirement

so you can come all the way over here

and not go low nutrients and end up with

a situation where you’re cutting

nutrients to do this and end up with

deficiencies vitamin deficiencies and

then stress the thyroid that’s that’s

the mistake a lot of people make they go

on a low calorie low nutrient and they

think it’s just like going to man

fasting it’s healthy but it’s not so the

key is having nutrients so how do you

know if your low nutrients check out

your hair nail skin that’s all being

retained your muscle density is doing

good that’s all good but if you have
