thank you

welcome back everyone for another q a

show anything that I say is definitely

not meant to diagnose or replace your

medical care check with your doctor

before

accepting any of this advice we

definitely don’t want to give you cure

you and if we do don’t mention our names

absolutely not

all right well done I’ll I’ll step in

here and we’ve got some very exciting uh

bright individuals in The Green Room

which we’ll be getting to throughout the

hour and in fact one of them will keeps

popping off and on so I’m going to try

to get him before his entire system

implodes and will if you would unmute

yourself I’m going to put you on with Dr

Berg there you go with your one question

30 seconds please

all right thank you very much good to

see you Dr Berg I’ve really enjoyed your

content thank you

it’s a t related question it’s kind of

twofold you mentioned one time that if

you buy the pro you know the bottle

lemon juice that has past your eyes the

vitamin C has kind of been destroyed so

if I squeeze my own

organic lemon into really hot steeping

tea does that also destroy it and the

second part of that is if I mix

different kinds of tea like Mulan leaf

and lemon balm

uh does the do the effects get mixed up

or or altered in any way or is it okay

to mix different teas like that and

still get the intended desired effect

good question when you’re um taking um

vitamin C for example

um you have a couple things that degrade

it really fast you have uh exposure to

oxygen that’s why a lemon is so filled

with antioxidants to protect it and then

you also have heat but when they

pasteurize it they usually have high

Heats much higher hotter than you would

put with your water and then longer so

they would cook it for a longer period

of time so I think putting it in the

some hot water is not going to be a

problem you’re not going to lose that

much and when you blend different teas

together especially if it’s within you

know different herbs you’re not going to

negate any of the effects at all I think

they’ll work synergistically and help

you

um

but um

also realize that a lot of the

phytonutrient benefits from tea

um

can survive some of this heat so that’s

that’s another interesting thing um

um

like I even thought omega-3 fatty acids

were destroyed with asterization

and so I told people that and I’ve knit

a video on it and then so I said that’s

why I said you know when you have your

sardines for example you’re probably not

going to get very much omega-3 and then

I thought I started thinking about like

I I don’t know that for a fact I sent it

to the lab and I found out sure enough

there were major high levels of Omega-3

in sardines and and fish which I just

blew me away so apparently certain

things can survive but vitamin C is

along the list the only time you would

see vitamin C in like canned orange

juice whatever or even lemon juices when

they add it in there as a preservative

usually synthetically

well thank you sir hey thanks appreciate

it thanks so much uh will and you didn’t

pop off so now you can stay on there and

watch the rest of the show and have a

blast and by the way once again the most

one of the most refreshing things about

Dr Berg is he is sort of ego free when

it comes to facts he’s very willing to

change his mind or discover new things

and his interest is in the truth and

what helps people and you know his uh

you know

um having to sort of re

test his results is not against him at

all so I think it’s just terrific thank

you DOC for your Clarity on and

transparency and all that stuff why

don’t we kick it off with the first uh

quiz question today and Doc there it is

all right good so let’s see if I could

find okay here it is right here all

right why does sulforaphane

reduce symptoms of autism

sulforaphane is that chemical in

broccoli Sprouts but it’s another

cruciferous vegetables as well why would

that I mean that’s pretty wild that a

chemical on a plant can actually reduce

um autism uh symptoms so

um what do you think the mechanism is

just go ahead and type it and then let’s

see if you’re correct all right I have

every faith in the audience there the

fastest answers in the on the globe okay

speaking of social media let’s go there

and this one is from Zappa on YouTube

what is your opinion on nootropics and

boy that word sure does come up a lot

lately

these are certain compounds that

help um

Focus memory

um your brain

and they’re not they’re not like

necessarily just stimulants there’s

certain uh

camp out chemicals that you can use to

to do that now I experimented with this

a while ago and

I didn’t see much benefit other people

say they it really helps them focused um

my my question is and my thought is on

that before you would go in that

direction I would make sure first that

your diet is squared away because um

you know so many people are trying to

fix like memory or focus on top of a

crappy diet or even like when you run

your brain on ketones

um and you do intermittent fasting you’d

be shocked to find how your cognitive

function improves as well as your mood

and you wouldn’t necessarily even need

to take a supplement so I always like

the supplements after you’ve tried the

basic eating plan

um and so

you know like why why would it be um why

would you have a problem with focus in

the first place or memory in the first

place

um that’s what I would address

but nootropics are definitely uh very

popular and

a lot of people are experimenting with

them and that it’s not it’s just a wild

wild west right now there’s like people

I will try this and try this because

there’s there’s not there’s so many

different variables involved and um it’s

something you would just have to

experiment with on yourself to see if

that could help you

okay very good still on YouTube uh

bratinga wants to know do blue blockers

for devices actually work so maybe some

Red film I think they do they do and

they do protect you against that blue

light which is damaging uh on certain

parts of the eye

um also realize that um when you’re

using your cell phone

um you’re getting a lot of blue light or

your laptops you’re just getting a lot

of blue light

um and that’s that’s not good for your

eyes

um it tires the eyes

um but when you get the full spectrum of

sun for example that you’re exposing to

the eyes

um

also realize that um the ultraviolet I’m

sorry the in um infrared

that comes from the sun which by the way

is a little bit more than 50 percent of

that race well town to help to cancel

out or reduce the effects of these other

harmful rays

because it’s in a full spectrum

so I mean blue blockers are are good but

um

if we’re talking about damage to the

retina or damage to the lens or the back

part of the retina called the macula

um we’ll be talking about more of that

after the first after we actually answer

the first or actually second question I

think it is but um I will mention more

about that later

okay that’s very good and here’s a

question let’s see and thank you Roy for

this because it sounds interesting

please share your thoughts on complex

carbs versus simple carbs what’s the

difference there

oh it’s too complex of a question no

um all right forget it you’re talking

about

you know vegetables right but but people

are gonna also throw in their grains

starches things like that

um simple simple carbs would be like

able sugar refined sugars that type of

thing

um so that’s kind of what they’re

talking about and that’s that’s a that’s

a good

good idea to eat complex carbohydrates

but I would only eat them in the form of

vegetables and maybe a small amount of

berries but vegetables have the um

that’s the complex carbohydrates but

sometimes they mesh in there well you

can do the you know fruits brains and

vegetables yeah they have to throw that

grain in there which is not very good

all right watch out for that folks uh

and we watched out for questions and the

audience responded so the first quiz

question for the day ask the audience

why do sulfurophane reduce symptoms of

autism and they have an opinion 65 of

the respondents say sulforaphane reduces

inflammation in the brain 35 say it

reduces oxidative stress

everyone’s correct we’ve got 100

impression on that you’re right when you

have autism

I won’t get into like what’s really

triggering autism but I will say this

um we have a lot of oxidative stress now

what the heck is oxidative stress well

it’s an imbalance of our own body’s uh

antioxidants with the oxidation that’s

coming in the brain and then you have

neural inflammation you have brain

inflammation and it just so happens that

there is a certain protein in the body

which is the master master regulator of

all of your

antioxidants that the body produces like

glutathione things like that

and uh it’s Nrf2 this little protein and

uh it just so happens the sulforaphane

is a very unique molecule in that it can

turn up that

protein and make it work much higher

than normally

and so now we’re going to get all these

antioxidants coming in there to the

rescue we’re going to get

anti-inflammatory anti-inflammatory

effects from The sulfur of Fame

the sulfur sulforaphane is interesting

to me because it can kill H pylori which

is behind ulcers it can

um well I guess this is going to be

related to some other questions so I

think I’ll stop there but the

fascinating molecule and I’m going to be

doing a video on all the things that can

turn up that protein and all the

conditions that it can help so it’s

something you want to stay tuned for

okay very good let’s see Mary Moore from

YouTube what’s the best way to reduce

elevated potassium levels

well the first question is are you

measuring this in your blood or the

inside the cell because like 98 of all

the potassium is intracellular

intracellular potassium so I highly

doubt that you’re measuring it there

there is many situations where you have

too much potassium on the in the blood

but it’s very deficient inside the cell

and there’s and that usually could occur

because you’re eating a lot of carbs so

carbohydrates

tend to create a shift in this potassium

um but if you have too much potassium

truly too much potassium

then um you which is

very rare

um

called hyperkalemia then you would need

to take more sodium to balance it out

and the body has a lot of different

mechanisms to get rid of excess

potassium by the way

and a really good test for you to do if

you think you have too much is to find a

test I think you can do a home test

where you measure the intracellular

potassium and you may be shocked to find

out that that’s very low so you can’t

always go by the blood

all right very good Jay let’s see no

Rosa from YouTube water fast versus a

dry fast which is better in your opinion

well she’s already passed away from

dehydration no I’m kidding which is

better

well dry fasting where you’re not having

any water and you’re fasting is

extremely powerful potent it’s it’s

better than water fasting but of course

there’s a limitation of time so if you

do a dry fast for two weeks that might

be a problem

um in fact I don’t think you can live

that long without water but there has

been someone who um

they were in a jail cell I think if I’m

not mistaken they lasted 13 days without

water but they actually did consume the

condensation on the walls which is not a

lot of water but that was a little bit a

little bit of water but

um dry fasts are are they just add more

stress to the body and I think it’s it’s

good to do short term but again you got

to work into this so you got to be

fairly healthy to do that because some

people

are so low on electrolytes and so

dehydrated that and they start doing

these prolonged fasting right off the

bat or a dry fast and then they end up

you know having

they might get they might faint or have

a problem with that so I would um

go into this

gingerly and gradually if I were you

okay very good Ingrid from YouTube here

we go what are your thoughts about carb

cycling to establish a metabolic reset

I love it I love it I don’t know whoever

invented that theory or that concept

that you have to recycle your carbs

for for metabolism

it just is illogical it doesn’t make

sense

um we’ve already been recycling our

carbs

um for on this diet that so many people

like they binge in carbs and they get

off carbs that’s recycling right there

so

um adding more carbs to recycling to

help reset something

from my viewpoint is total rubbish it’s

like res you don’t need to reset your

metabolism with carbs right so I mean it

just it’s illogical yeah so take two

cups of sugar and then call us in the

morning let us know how you feel after

you’ve recycled all that okay let’s see

why don’t we launch another question Doc

and here it is

okay good why now um the next question

would be why would selenium help reduce

symptoms of HIV and AIDS wow that’s a

big one okay and while you’re all

thinking about that why don’t we go back

to the green room and this time we’re

going to bring on uh Adrienne Diaz and

uh she is I forgot to ask her where

she’s from but she’s indeed wherever she

is and you’re on the air Adrian go with

you one question please dear in 30

seconds

moved um my right kidney removed

um due to renal cell carcinoma

um and I need to lose weight because I

have a kidney stone in my other kidney

um before I can get that removed

um so

it’s hard for me to exercise because

also my left knee is hurting so I have

like all these like issues I guess I’m

just getting old but

um I’m on Metformin and I saw your

iodine videos and I am low on iodine

um because it disappeared right away but

I have a craving for sweets and sodas

and it doesn’t seem like the metformin

is working so I’m wondering is there

something that I can take

um to eat to like curb the sweets and

Cravings

um

so that way I can like lose weight and

you know be healthier

sure

are you are you on Metformin because

you’re a diabetic

no

um it’s because I had all these other

issues and she was like well I don’t

think it’s

um you know you need medicine for your

arthritis or this she’s like I think

it’s because you’re obese and you need

to get

your weight down and then your knee

would feel better and you know you would

just feel better overall if you lost

weight so that’s why I’m on the

metformin okay the metformin um

targets insulin resistance which

is behind a lot of diabetic issues but

it also um

eye insulin puts you at risk for kidney

stones and um

gallbladder problems and weight cane and

all these other things so

um the first thing that I would do as a

really good idea would be to go to my um

website

and just click videos and it has the

first video there start watching One the

first video the second third and start

applying the basics of the ketogenic

diet with intermittent fasting together

as one that’s gonna create a really cool

effect for your weight loss you’re going

to start losing weight and with the way

that you know that it’s working even

before you lose a pound is that your

hunger will go away and your Cravings

will go away making it easier to to do

this longer terms so then then you then

you’ll lose weight and you’ll feel

better

and this is like creating a better

effect than metformin but without the

side effects and if you wanted to speed

it up there’s another

um there’s an herb that has been

compared to metformin but without the

side effects

because there is some major side effects

with metformin and that would be

berberine berberine is a good good one

to take as you’re doing keto in

intermittent fasting

I would also take a sea cow sea kelp has

the iodine in it it’s a good source you

don’t have to take a lot just take a

little bit of sea kelp and a tablet and

then what will happen that will even

help your thyroid and speed up your

metabolism

I have a lot of videos on kidney stones

and so make sure that you’re it

immediately you’re you’re drinking at

least

2.5 liters of fluid a day and that will

actually keep it from getting worse uh

have some lemon in your water

um

and even a little apple cider vinegar

like a tablespoon because that’ll

that’ll be good for your kidney stone as

you do the ketogenic diet though

very important to uh avoid certain foods

that good worsen the kidney stone like

spinach

almonds and almond flour

chocolate Okay because those are high in

a certain thing that makes kidney stones

not not that you ever eat those and you

would ever even consider eating them but

you probably know neighbors and friends

that might eat those things but um

that’s my suggestion I think that would

be successful

okay thank you so much you’re welcome

okay thank you very much Adrian and you

got Adrian you’ve got a lot of stuff

going on there and we wish you the best

and hope to hear back uh some success

stories uh from you in the future as you

work against all that so appreciate it

now let’s see we got a shout out a

little truncated today but I bet it’s

going to grow because more people are

going to check in so so far around the

globe we’d like to say thank you to our

viewers uh joining us from the UK Canada

Mexico Algeria Jordan Australia Malaysia

Guam Kenya Ghana United Arab Emirates

Hungary Serbia the Netherlands Nigeria

India Chile Pakistan Argentina Norway

Poland Japan New Zealand Spain Aruba

Qatar Yemen France Dubai Lithuania the

Virgin Islands and uh Virgin Islands

Malta Uganda Denmark the Dominican

Republic Kuwait Jamaica Slovenia South

Africa and all across these United

States and coming up soon will be

Richard from Denmark speaking to the

devil but we’re going to do a few things

first Richard but we’ll have you up next

and let’s see So speaking of next we

have some answers back on quiz question

number two again an example of just how

astute our audience is and how quickly

they answer it so the question asks why

would selenium help reduce symptoms from

HIV and AIDS which is a great thing and

um a hundred percent of respondents say

solemnia selenium is an antioxidant and

an immune system booster for the body

okay so that’s absolutely true but

there’s a there’s a very interesting

reason why

selenium is used as a protocol

um a natural protocol that um with with

about three more amino acids

um do you know what’s interesting about

HIV it’s a this virus that really uh has

the potential to wipe out

um the key player in your immune system

called the T helper cell and so that’s

what it does it takes out the

quarterback and now without a

quarterback you can’t you can’t win and

so here you are with the immune system

that doesn’t work and you’re very

vulnerable to getting infections all

over the place in tumors and cancer and

Etc

self

um what’s unique about this virus is

that it has the ability

to strategically make glutathione which

is a really key antioxidant

because in this virus like you have a

lot of oxidation a lot of oxidative

stress inflammation but

um

the that t or help help our cell needs

glutathione to get it to work

so without glutathione because think

about this this virus is making all this

glutathione for its own accord and

depleting you of the raw materials to

make it which is selenium so it

it’s very

um nasty because it sucks up your

selenium keeping you high and dry with

no reserves because it’s making this

glutathione hogging it all and then you

end up without enough glutathione

because you don’t have the selenium to

make it and then you can’t make that t

helper cell and that’s when things go

downhill

so a really uh brilliant um

Professor came up with a protocol and

I’m going to be talking about it in a

video he wrote a book on it and I think

it’s like wow what a simple way to

strengthen your immune system and

apparently there’s a couple other

viruses

that do the same thing like uh the one

for Hepatitis B and hepatitis C which

selenium would also be a good remedy for

but I think this is just a fascinating

um

sneaky little thing that these viruses

do and it’s important if you know the

mechanism then you can you can even

counter it further with natural things

so

that’s my long answer very good and if

you want more answers of course you can

go to Dr Berg’s wonderful online app uh

and you can get that on your iOS iPhone

device or Android so you’ll have a world

of answers in your pockets make sure you

download that today and let’s go over to

um

to Facebook weren’t I I miss my question

from Facebook

oh the heck let’s go back shout out for

some more people I knew that was coming

a shout out to our viewers in Indonesia

Germany Bangladesh Botswana Sierra Leone

Bulgaria Belize Scotland the Philippines

Venezuela Pakistan Romania Trinidad and

Tobago and Portugal can you imagine most

shows even the big ones would die for

three or four countries around the world

and we just darn near got a pin and uh

in every map around the country so

that’s great thanks everybody so much

for tuning in uh let’s see Sarah from

YouTube what are the best supplements to

take to treat PCOS

um inositol is a good one it’s called I

would take a myo inositol that’s a good

one and berberine those two in addition

to getting on keto because we have a

problem with too much Androgen which is

coming from too much insulin

and so inositol which by the way is a

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

you can suck on them as little candies

and you’ll be like wow this is like

candy but it’s not it’s a B vitamin and

it’s really good for PCOS polycystic

ovarian syndrome so um but definitely

get on the keto diet because um

you it’s not going to work if you’re

also doing

honoring the benefit of the um

countering it by doing too many carbs

okay very good I found that question uh

it was from Bernal Joy from Facebook

well consuming almond flour bread

regularly affect the kidneys

um

healing with almond flour

um

it is a bit of a refined thing from

almonds it is high in oxalates and those

people that have um

susceptibility to kidney stones could

have a problem it’s one of those things

that you would have to try before and

after and see how you feel but these

oxalates

to are damaging to the kidney they are

and so too much too much of them and um

really mess with your kidneys and other

joints so again you have high oxalates

in almonds almond flour

but typically I mean like

there’s other benefits from from almonds

but again the key thing is the oxalate

so you would want to avoid of course

rhubarb in the rhubarb pie which I know

Steve loves and then um

chocolate kiwi Swiss chard

and and make mental note Xylitol

Xylitol apparently increases oxlets in

your body or it has oxalates in there so

if you have kidney stones or even pseudo

gout

um it could be aggravated by this darn

Xylitol which you say well I don’t have

xylitol is a sweetener well do you ever

chew gum as it leads sugar-free gum well

it’s load was Xylitol so donatol is in

other things as well

okay watch out for that substance okay

uh Adamson Adamson Adam’s son there I

said it right from Facebook any

suggestions to to treat pancreatitis

which I understand is a lot of fun

yeah um I think the first thing I would

do

um if I were you I’m assuming you’re on

keto and intermittent fasting I’m

assuming that I might be wrong but let’s

see you are

um and you have pancreatitis one of the

causes of pancreatitis

um would be some type of block

blockage of the duct

um that’s

that kind of drains into this little

hole into your small intestine called

this sphincter body which is a small

little valvular

hole that joins with the bile duct so

they have the pancreatic duct the bile

duct they join and so this is why if you

have a deficiency of bile

that can create a sludge

even a stone

and that can block block those ducts and

then back up in the pancreas and you get

pancreatitis so the remedy would be

tatka which is a um

it’s it’s a type of bile salt but I will

say as a side note since uh our first

guest mentioned iodine if you’re

deficient at iodine you can also have a

problem with your bile because then the

because the thyroid starts to become

sluggish and without a good thyroid

um your bile gets sluggish as well so

everything can become sluggish

cholesterol

and it’s the perfect storm because

if you have a slug of thyroid and you

have this

unmetabolized cholesterol buildup

and unavailable cholesterol to make bile

which is it comes from biles comes from

cholesterol so now we get this perfect

storm to make Stones all because you are

low in iodine

and that’s very common I mean I think

two billion people on this planet are

low on iodide huh and by the way Docker

there are a number of tests for that

there’s just one blood test find out

about your iodine

there’s a there’s a lot of tests you can

check your blood test but also um you

can do a patch test and I I have a video

on that you just put a little

uh drop of iodine on your skin and see

if it gets absorbed within a period of

time or or not and

um it absorbs pretty quickly we know

you’re probably deficient because your

body is sucking it up the problem with

iodine is that um

our soils are so depleted because we

only put back in three minerals NPK we

don’t put the trace minerals back in

there so you’re eating all this food

that

doesn’t have iodine because the soil is

not lotified and unless you have

shellfish or seafood or consume plants

that are on 100 miles from the shore

but who does that huh they don’t do that

all right well I promise to go to

Denmark and Richard Richard if you’d

unmute yourself you are on with Dr bird

yeah thank you very much

[Music]

very much I’d like to say that um I’ve

been on a ketogenic diet now for about

one and a half months

um I had a lot of problems with um

GERD and acid reflux and my blood

pressure was

170 80 over 110 it wasn’t as if I was I

was very large

84 kilos 85 kilos now I’ve lost six

kilos I’m down to 78 and a half oh my

God and my acid reflux has disappeared

wow

um and my blood pressure fell or fell to

126 over 83. wow so all you know it was

uh it was a really a really good wake-up

call however

my blood pressure is done at 180.

um I suspect it’s something to do with

my electrolytes I

had blood work done and so I started

taking my blood pressure meds again I’m

on losartan medical Valley 100 uh 100

milligrams

but I take my daily hibiscus tea my

wheatgrass and my cod liver oil and

basically I feel like I’ve got a new

lease of life so basically how do I

maintain balanced levels of

electrolyzed to bring my blood pressure

down again thank you very much

sure there’s two factors to blood

pressure that are the big factors the

obvious ones and especially when you do

the ketogenic diet you lose a lot of

weight you lose a lot of water weight

and you lose a lot of electrolytes so it

you need um about

um 4 700 milligrams now how many uh

what does that come out to

uh with with your Foods it’s a that’s a

lot of greens that’s a lot of greens

brings leafy salads to get that much

amount of electrolytes in your body to

get your blood pressure in check but if

you were to consume an electrolyte

powder with a lot more potassium

because out of all the minerals and

vitamins nothing is of the magnitude of

potassium as far as requirements we need

so much

so um that that usually keeps the

arteries very very elastic viable

so it prevents the Harding of the

arteries it helps the kidney believe it

or not and it also can help lower blood

pressure from

several different angles so that’s one

thing and also if you have an

electrolyte powder or even consume more

vegetables you also have the Magnesium

with it the magnesium potassium is

the low-hanging fruit to address blood

pressure now other things vitamin D

levels low vitamin D situation can Spike

blood pressure as well

so that’s another thing that I would

take those are the two things that come

to mind

um that I would go right after and I

think that can bring down the blood

pressure I’m glad that your gerd is

going away

um

bird you know bird is like an acid

reflux situation that’s more advanced

because it irritates your

your esophagus and uh I always tell

people if you go to the doctor with your

gerd ask the doctor this one question

um what’s the difference between

what’s what’s try to get to the

differential between

is the this problem too much acid

or is it too much acid in the wrong

place because they never ever ever check

the production of acid in your stomach

they assume that you have your body is

producing too much acid when in fact

it’s just the opposite if they did test

they would find you’re not producing

very much acid at all and that’s keeping

the valve open and that’s why the acid

is in the wrong place making you assume

that you have too much and then you

you start taking antacids and then

that’s when things go down south but uh

so anyway that’s my long answer to your

simple question

thank you very much um I’d just like to

add that I’m taking 10 to 20 000 IUS of

vitamin D a day plus around about 500

milligrams of magnesium as well

okay and then I think you’re I think you

need to go with the potassium then we

need the problem is if you go try to

find a regular pills I don’t know what

they have in Europe now but they’re only

like 99 milligrams so

yeah it’s ridiculous it’s you need to

find something with a lot more

um

um a powder that has a you know at least

a thousand milligrams and take take a

couple scoops of that and that will uh I

think that I think you’ll that’s your

answer

well I’ve ordered your lemon and

raspberry so uh that should be coming

through the post in a few days

okay good yeah I think that’ll help all

right thanks so much Richard and uh to

Demons demonstrate here this I just chug

this and Dr Berg was too shy to show his

own product but I’m not so there it is

and that’s coming in the mail to you so

hang on there Richard and it’s packed

with all sorts of stuff and I used to

get cramps in my legs when I jog and

then I started taking this and some

extra water I’ll admit that too and all

is well so thanks so much Richard from

Denmark for coming on with us let’s leap

over and go to the next Quiz question

here it is speaking of antacids and so

on

okay why would antacids Epis

um

which are like um any type of acid

suppression medication why would those

give

a side effect of acid reflux now I

probably just gave out the answer but

let’s assume people

say as they’re listening intently okay

yeah they were running for a cup of joe

or something I’m sure hopefully so

that’ll make that interesting okay let

me

Mark that we just put that question

forth and let’s go back to social media

Matt from Facebook any advice for

someone who’s 32 who eats mostly

carnivore probably less than 1500

calories a day I’m still gaining weight

poor guy I ride my bike five miles a day

six steaks six days a week what else

should I be doing goodness

well one of the things that um

with a carnivore diet is um

you can very easily consume a bit too

much protein

and protein does turn to sugar if you

have too much because it’s your body

can’t assimilate all that so some of

it’s converted to glucose and so that

could be one of the reasons why your

insulin is high and you’re gaining

weight so how do we fix that

um well then you want to re-evaluate

your food and believe it or not go down

with the protein and up with your fat

now

I know what you’re gonna say it’s like

wait a second how many all this fat I’m

gonna well fat won’t increase the

insulin it may just help with the

insulin response and lower the insulin

because you’re having less protein that

ratio is is going to be like more fat

than protein so what what would that

look like as far as types of foods well

they add the fatty sausage

another one is actually that I like is

um

liver yeah you can get in a can and and

it does taste great and you might go

that sounds disgusting but it’s a very

high in fat and lower in protein but

it’s a liver

has a lot of the oil in there too so

that that might help you and um then uh

some other ones

um which I don’t well if you’re

carnivore you’re not going to do

macadamia nuts or pecans but

um there’s other recipes like fatty or

pork you know high quality pork

um but that’s probably what you want to

do if you do carnivore and you do lean

uh proteins it’s probably not the best

thing also egg eggs that’s a good one

and then also organ Meats as well

and uh fatty salmon

um

and then um if you’re doing 1500

calories a day and you’re exercising

um

you know I don’t know also are you doing

um

how frequently are you eating those

meals or what’s your intermittent

fasting pattern because

let’s just pretend like you’re on a 2000

calorie a day diet and you eat all those

2000 calories

in one meal versus spread it out through

the day

either not you’ll lose more weight if

you if you eat it one meal

even with the same amount of calories

because you’re not spreading it out so

the more intermittent fasting you can do

the longer you can fast the more the

weight loss

all right very good uh solid Nate is his

handle from YouTube I have uh

structuring Crohn’s with the carnivore

diet help or and or treat my symptoms

that’s a terrible one

yeah I think it will because the more

you have an irritated uh inflamed colon

the more you need to do

um uh carnivore

um

at least temporarily to kind of let

everything heal up but um that fibers

and vegetables can irritate it and

definitely grains will just kill it um

like especially Wheats and gluten and

all that so uh yeah that’s what I would

recommend uh make sure you look up how

to do it healthily and um

that you’ll find that your inflammation

will drop considerably in your in your

gut

very good I guess

uh hang on just a second here okay

question we’ve got answers for quiz

question number three rapidly and it

asks why would antacids ppis acid

suppression give the side effects of

acid reflux which we’ve been talking

about a lot today and a hundred percent

of our uh boy here’s 100 again

respondents say reductions the

suppression of stomach acid the body can

actually create more acid to make up for

the drop in acid levels

that is true for antacids

um but not necessarily the ppis or H2

inhibitors but anyway

um so so that’s an that is a correct

answer oh good um but what happens

with uh with I mean think about this as

you age right the risk of getting gerd

goes up and up as you get older

but at the same time as we age

the amount of the acidity in our stomach

becomes weaker and weaker so how could

it be

that this strong acid this bad acid is

causing gerds the logical

well it has to do with this gerd’s gird

is a reflux problem it’s a valve problem

and the valve there’s sensors there’s

the valvular sensors for for your acid

so when your acid becomes very very

strong that valve can close really

nicely and can stay tight when the acid

becomes weak it stays open because the

information is getting it’s like well

okay food’s coming in we better you know

so um the point is that um

if you take an acid like betaine

hydrochloride or any type of

regurgitation problem you have and that

would be heartburn acid reflux gerd

reflex disease silent gerd like there’s

20 different labels for the same problem

you generally will feel better

um

and this is why if you have a if there’s

a skeptic out there that doesn’t believe

me and says there’s no scientific proof

I said well just go ahead and try it if

you feel better then you know

because

if it is true that you don’t have enough

acid for and you have this GERD and you

start taking things to suppress suppress

your acid

guess what’s going to happen in the

future as you do this long term you’re

going to go from bad to worse because

without that stomach acid now you can’t

break down protein you can’t absorb iron

or B12 you become anemic you’re going to

get tired

and you’re very susceptible to getting

pathogens and viruses that Leach onto

the body

and so you might end up with sibo or a

lot of bloating or other issues

um so there’s a lot of problems that can

occur

from these acid suppressing drugs and uh

so again I’m gonna I’ll create another

video to talk about that because that’s

like a really important thing for people

to understand if they have this

uh thrawn antacids uh boy that I wish I

would have known about this when I had

an ulcer when I was in my early 20s

which is like

terribly bashed to have that that young

interesting okay speaking of acid true

false our next question all right I’ll

let you read it DOC here it is all about

acid

okay true or false stomach acid should

normally be at at least a hundred

thousand times more acid than your blood

is that true or false all right climb on

that audience as I know you will let’s

go back to the green room and next up

and ask him to unmute himself his chakra

from Arkansas chakra you’re on with Dr

bird

uh hi doctor thanks for all the content

I myself benefited from the intermediate

fasting I was having a pre-diabetic

levels I was having blood pressure

able to follow videos and I was able to

rate myself and I’m in better shape now

so the problem is with my kid now she’s

six years old

she has autoimmune which ligo condition

the doctor prescribed some oral

ointments the ointment like steroid and

um

the eczema Tropical Islands we don’t

want to go that route could you please

help us with what levels of vitamin D

can be given for AC control like zinc

and copper which you are talking about

in the videos

what what uh what specific type of

autoimmune disease did she have

Vitiligo yeah yes okay

yeah

um I would definitely definitely

um

start with the vitamin D uh of course

um son is very therapeutic even certain

types of if I’m not mistaken you can try

uh

UVB light therapy that’s another one you

can buy one of those little light wands

apparently that’s been been shown to

help as well

um

but yeah she needs vitamin D

um I would do definitely I would do

and thousand I use the vitamin D every

day I would do that and again that’s

going to help the immune system I would

also highly recommend uh getting her on

a healthy version of the ketogenic diet

because a lot of these autoimmune

diseases start in the gut so you want to

make sure that that is in check with a

good probiotic

um a natural vitamin B1 would also be

beneficial especially for vitiligo which

is a lack of pigment

giving you these um

wider a lack of like a

like white spots through the body

um

and so that’s that’s what I would do

those two things focus on the gut and

that vitamin D

um

to help that condition so and of course

when kids get autoimmune diseases you

really need to just understand that

something caused it it just doesn’t come

for no reason so what happened just

before this occurred and we won’t get

into this but that usually there’s some

event or something that triggered it

that you need to deal with and that

gives you the big clue on

what you need to focus on because so

many people

have some event that occurs right before

this happening but people don’t look at

that as being significant but it’s an

important clue on how you should

potentially

treat

someone okay by the way chakra I noticed

that you lost transmission for a while

so I would encourage you to watch the

show afterwards and you’ll be able to

recap exactly what Dr Berg said and we

wish you all the best with your

beautiful daughter and hope to hear back

with some great results after the fact

so thank you shocker for coming on and

um and for participating in the show all

right let’s see where we’re at here

um Karen from YouTube is the carnivore

Diet safe is it better than the keto

diet oh it must be

well uh

the way that I I look at it is this um

um

I don’t do the carnivore diet I I do

very very well and sodas do hundreds of

thousands of people on this diet that

I’m recommending which is a combination

of plants and and animal Meats as well

because I think there is some a lot of

benefits to plants

um

but I don’t agree with or I would never

do just a plant diet only so I like the

combination because if you look through

nature you get most of the nutrients I

mean from various you get the nutrients

from various sources not just one thing

uh I like the carnivore for gut issues

but other than that I would recommend

the combination of plants and animal

products

but it’s one of those things instead of

kind of getting in to tell people this

is the best diet for every single person

you should personally try it out for

yourself and see what works for you

because

um I think those two are going to be

like

the two best things to do depending on

your situation if you don’t have a lot

of gut inflammation at all then I would

do I would add the vegetables in there

because that way you can also get plenty

of benefits from the phytonutrients

from Plants the carotenoids

the anthraxanthins which or anthocyanins

I mean that’s all these things are are

good for

um all sorts of things

um

the complications from diabetes and then

also um all the potassium magnesium you

can get from vegetables and things like

that and the vitamin C

um there’s not a lot of vitamin C in

meat there is some but they’re in Oregon

means but there’s not a lot

um

so

and then also folate

folate you can get you get it from dark

leafy greens so there are certain

nutrients But there again if you have

just plants then we’re going to get your

B12 then

and your zinc so I think a combination

would be the ideal diet okay very good

in audience next up we have one of our

true falsers which are so fun because we

have a 50 chance of being an absolute

genius and here it is

all right here we go next one

very good doc no we need the answer to

that

yesterday Steve forgive me Doc okay the

answer to that question

um 75 of responders say is true and 25

say it’s false there we go

okay well

I said it’s at least and so that means

that it’s basically if we take a

comparison from your blood

to your stomach acid

because see everyone’s a lot of people

are against acids like oh we got to

alkalize our body right well then why is

the stomach

so acid normal stomach should be between

a hundred thousand to one million times

more acidic than your blood

that is normal

if our buys were supposed to be alkaline

why is the stomach acid supposed to be

so acid I mean that’s like so acid it’s

like battery acid

um so when we talk about pH we should

have

um you have to ask the person what

specific body tissue are you talking

about or fluid are you talking about the

saliva uh the small intestine the large

intestine but that stomach should be

very very acid and and people don’t know

that we’re kind of on a war to get rid

of acid look at all the acid suppressing

medications out there right

well I would love to ask a doctor don’t

we need strong stomach acid what are

these acid suppressing medications going

to do to our stomach acid long term are

there complications are we going to now

break down protein how we’re going to

absorb minerals how we’re going to kill

pathogens in our stomach level these are

all questions that you need to ask the

doctor before you get put on an acid

suppressing medication

all right folks which by the way now

they just I think they have a class

action suit now because now they found

out

the some of these ppis um now I’ve been

causing kidney disease well we already

kind of the writing’s on the wall

unfortunately it’s like um

so many medications have been like

recalled or there’s been problems down

the road because they

because people take them long term and

um

what are the side effects long term well

we’ve never done a study on that we just

have to see what happens

okay well you can be the person to

experiment with that then all right good

luck folks with that one okay final

question for the day Doc and there it is

okay what food has the highest source of

coenzyme Q10

all right no more true falsters today

Q10 is good for the heart it’s good for

um all of the cells it works within the

mitochondria of your cells so um what

food would have the highest amounts of

that I think that would be good to know

all right very good and we also want to

know what Jason question is and he is

coming to us from Ohio and Jason if

you’d unmute yourself you’re the last

but not least participant uh in our

little green room offering so go ahead

with your one question for Dr Berg in 30

seconds

hey thanks for entertaining my question

um I’ve been living with an intractable

24 7 migraine for the past 12 years

which has prevented me from living a

normal life I’ve tried almost every

medication on the market as well as many

other treatments non-traditional and

traditional

no long or short-term remedy has really

made a difference I’m running out of

ideas of how to fix it routine blood

work and tests usually come back normal

I have been diagnosed with Lyme disease

and some co-infections I also live with

ADHD anxiety depression and Crohn’s

colitis

you say Crohn’s Crohn’s colitis is what

I’ve I’ve heard several different I I

was told originally ulcerative colitis

and now I’m told Crohn’s colitis

sometimes they just say colitis okay you

gave me a lot of good Clues

um question question I have

um

these terrible migraines that you have

um was there a point in your life ever

that you didn’t have them

they were intermittent until I was about

39 and then I had one come on that won’t

quit okay

was there anything that occurred

at that right around that time just

before that that might have triggered

this

well it was a stressful time in my life

I’d start a new job I was doing these

trainings I had a lot more

responsibility there was a lot going on

in my life at the time yeah okay and and

you said it intermittently like you had

these even as a baby

uh starting around four years old five

years old I would get one it would get

real bad I’d throw up I’d sleep for

hours or a day or whatever and then I

would resume normal life

okay and then that was you know I’d have

one a month or three a year or one a

week or whatever over the years it

varied so in that case I I really think

uh that your problem is related to the

gut because that’s usually what happens

when you have it as a baby the food

interacts with the gut and that starts

creating all sorts of issues

um with inflammation and that can cause

headaches and migraines

um so in that case I would seriously

consider getting on the carnivore diet

and um and find out how to do it

healthily

and I I think that will probably be the

thing that’s going to turn things around

for you because that’s going to drop the

inflammation

versus to try to take a remedy for

something the second thing I would do is

I would do a DNA test

um to find out what the heck is going on

with your genetics because there are so

many genes that could be also

interfering with

your ability to detoxify your oxidative

stress methylation and if you could find

out

something unique about that that can

give you the answer and I’ll give you

just one example

um there’s a certain Gene

that could be related to this

that is pretty popular

um

but um I don’t want to get into

complexities but I actually had someone

as positive for this

Gene and all of they all they needed

uh to do was take um

a very specific type of B12 and folic

acid methylfolate

and oh my goodness uh their whole life

changed just from this one genetic test

just learning about one thing that they

had a problem with so that’s just

another thing that I would do to see um

if there’s because that’s going to

actually help you tailor make

um

foods and recommendations

more deeply than any any other thing

it’s a new thing you have to find

someone good to help you interpret that

but you definitely the DNA testing and

then get on Carnivore and I think um I

would love to how do you do that and

then come back to us in a few weeks to

see if that gave you more relief

I’d love to all right that’s great that

sounds just awful Jason so we’d love for

you to get some relief from that so

thanks so much

you know in these things it’s like

usually something

in the diet that’s creating inflammation

that’s because the there’s this

separation between your gut and your in

your head

um but you have the vagus nerve so

whatever’s going on up here in the head

headache wise or pain or whatever even

depression anxiety boy that could be all

coming from your gut and so

but because it’s referred you a lot of

times people don’t make the connection

but I’ll tell you

it could be a game changer and I think

there’ll be some I think it’ll make a

huge change but um I’ve seen it so many

times all right well Jason please get

back with us we’d really love to hear

that you get some relief that’s just

awful four years on oh you know that’s

that’s not fair all right uh Jason I I

don’t think you had time to look at this

question but we’ll give you the answer

so it asks what food has the highest

source of CoQ10 and our audience said 45

at least said our responders say it’s

beef heart 25

uh say Oregon meets ten percent say liba

ten percent say cod liver which you

spoke of or fish oil and 10 say salmon

oh

yeah so the answer is beef heart

beef heart wow

um now I know probably most people

nowadays don’t are listening don’t

normally consume beef heart as in their

diet

um

I don’t even know where you can find it

but I will say that um

it has some serious benefits uh for I

mean it has um an ungodly amount of

coenzyme Q10 which is what can really

help your energy and um

and so

there are certain supplements that

people can get

um

they can get like beef liver like

grass-fed

um not beef liver but hard liver or

Heart beef heart and then also

um

if someone has like some type of bad

cardiovascular

issue let’s say they have a problem with

like a repeated heart attacks or or um

problems with the heart and muscle where

they have them angina

and they took

uh beef heart as a supplement or even

consumed it

boy they would

greatly improve from that condition so

um

so it’s something that consider it’s uh

I just want to put this on your radar so

you could have it as a an idea to fall

back on if you do you need some extra

coenzyme Q10 because there’s even a

company called um

that’s called let’s what’s the grass-fed

meat um U.S Wellness Meats U.S Wellness

Meats

um

cells

a hamburger with some added

beef heart and I bought that in the past

and you could hardly even taste it it

says it just tastes just like regular

hamburger but I tell you that would

really be a healthier product than just

the beef meat so it’s all grass-fed it’s

for U.S Wellness meats and so that’s

just doing a plug for them because um

they have really very great products and

of course before my farm I used to order

a lot but now I have so much beef in my

freezer that I will never run out ever

on that note Steve I really appreciate

all the wonderful comments and questions

um thank you again for staying on this

long uh and we have some great videos

coming up and I will see you guys next

Friday

in the morning at 11 o’clock AM Eastern

Standard Time
