you check with your doctor

before implementing anything okay so it

was just i’m going to answer the

question again and go back to the

original question and someone else asked

so um so she did

keto because there was a lot of body

problems there was inflammation in the

liver and there was um

a virus in the liver and and so she did

it and she did great and then

um

then she kind of like

went and did

went back to some of the other things

that she was eating um and then it came

back

so i just told her that

um

you know it’s just you’re not out of the

woods yet especially when you get to

viruses of the liver

you know the question is some of these

viruses are really hard to

completely eliminate from the body

unless you get your body into some

hardcore autophagy autophagy is the

recycling of

old damaged proteins

when you do fasting

and you can also eliminate certain viral

or pathogens with autophagy but you’re

going to have to do some you know

three or four days of fasting here and

there and and start to go that route but

in the meantime you want to go back to

the irregular

original keto plan that you started with

but you have to do it longer and just

stay on track unfortunately your body

just needs your body is telling you

don’t go off the program

because there’s so much benefit so and

then the best thing for the liver is the

milk thistle

that’s the one that you want to

really um grow in your backyard it’s

probably already growing there as a weed

it’s all over the place and then you can

take it

dry it out make your own tinctures

that’s the best getting it from the wild

so you know it’s really good

i’m going to be doing a video

today on stinging nettle root

which

i’m going to be showing you i’m growing

it it’s

one of the most awesome

weeds

has no side effects but unbelievable for

arthritis pain gout rheumatoid osteo

i mean

and a lot of other things so i will be

talking about that but

um

now the original question was that uh

someone was consuming

um

the normal fat that’s on the ketogenic

diet but that was irritating the

gallbladder because there’s some stones

so

in that case

what you want to do is just consume the

fat that is normally in

protein it comes along with the protein

so don’t try to go low fat but just

don’t add fat and unfortunately the nuts

and peanut butter are very high in

omega-6 so that can irritate the bile

ducts

and then take some bile salts i

recommend the gallbladder formula but

you can take any any type

i am biased in my own products slightly

but

here’s the thing

dairy is inflammatory for some people as

well

so that’s something i would watch out

for but

the low carb diet the benefits

that’s really what makes

keto keto it’s low carb

it’s not the high fat that makes a keto

so you can always adjust the fats

okay there you go so steve hopefully uh

people can hear me and um i know my

image is frozen but maybe it’s maybe

it’s not on on youtube i have no idea

youtube looks good i’m watching it and

you’re moving away in fact uh why don’t

we try to catch up and here’s our first

question and i guess you can’t see it so

i’ll read it for you which area of your

skin on your body has the most friendly

microbes so audience

dig into that

and uh yeah let me let me clarify that

for everyone so if you they’ve done an

experiment on checking the microbial

life on the external part of your body

we know most of the microbes are in the

gut but also it’s on the skin but what

part of your skin what what area of the

body has

a i mean a massive amount of microbes

compared to other parts that’s the first

question

interesting question okay let’s try to

go

uh now who are you speaking with it

wasn’t latrice was it she was on with us

no it was uh

and uh there was another person it might

have been latrice okay and latrice was

starting and guess what we’re going to

try to kick off that conversation again

so latrice uh asked dr berg your

original question

my question was just because um

i mean i’ve done

intermittent fasting before but

i know that i was becoming insulin

resistant just by you know but i hadn’t

been diagnosed full-blown being diabetic

because i’ve kind of been you know on

and off i guess intermittent fasting but

i have some gallbladder issues and i

noticed that when i eat more fat it

irritates my gallbladder

and i was just trying to figure out if

whether or not um

like how how do i

incorporate the fat in my diet if it’s

irritating my gallbladder because i have

two teeny tiny gall stones um that you

know wasn’t worth removing my

gallbladder for uh right and that my

gallbladder looked healthy so you know

yeah

that that pain that discomfort that you

have

um if you really understand what’s

happening is there’s it’s um

probably not even in the gallbladder

itself it’s in the bile ducts that the

tubes and so there’s uh it’s kind of

like probably backing up and putting

pressure because it’s it’s thicker

so um we have a combination of what the

bile that’s going through there as well

as like the cholesterol so um the way to

solve this is to increase more bile and

things that

will act like bile like choline you

should be taking choline through the day

and bile salts with your meals on an

empty stomach to the point

where you’re getting a nice flow like a

river that’s flowing through those ducts

and so there’s no more pain

you may need more than the average

person and then you just avoid the nuts

the peanut butter right now and

unfortunately the dairy

but

the saturated fat that comes in meat all

meats um

if it’s if it’s in a moderate amount

should actually stimulates more

production of aisle it doesn’t it’s not

going to worsen things

what will worsen things is if you add

like

uh coconut oil or

um

vegetable oils especially

fried foods because it’s omega-6

but like fatty fish from salmon will not

aggravate the gallbladder at all

so

um yeah the omega-6 fatty acids will not

um

so it’s really the omega uh

i’m sorry the omega-3 won’t omega-6 and

unfortunately like i’ll give you an

example of omega-6 that’s very

irritating the corn oil and they use

that in frying and all sorts of things

the soy oil it’s in salad dressings

right and then we have the canola salad

dressings and pretty much every

restaurant that you go to is going to

have these omega-6 fatty acids that are

very inflammatory and then

the fat in chicken is more omega-6 too

but in

beef pork lamb

no there’s a if you have them grass-fed

it’s definitely it’s a higher in omega-6

and then fish and seafood that should

not aggravate your your gallbladder

okay

eggs are good too

okay and i do notice that salmon does

aggregate baby is what is cooked with

so

yeah yes it really is yeah so just you

know have the salad the salmon and and

see if that bothers you and um

i think another thing that would be

really good for you is the apple cider

vinegar with the meal with i’m sorry

with in your water

with some betaine hydrochloride because

that’ll acidify your stomach and you’ll

just you’ll just digest better

okay yep i do that already

oh awesome

awesome you’re welcome

sure

well that’s great well thanks for your

patience latrice i’m glad we got through

to you and dr berg as i was saying

before we got cut off the uh

social medias are live with questions

but there’s also so many accolades and

great hearts and thumbs up for dr berg

and i thought i’d read a few marty says

wish you were my doctor

even though i don’t see mine and i think

that’s probably a sentiment shared with

a lot of folks they just don’t see a

reason to go there oftentimes they don’t

really get a lot of attention and so on

to get more attention from you through

youtube etc and ekram says amazing wish

i could talk to you well folks you can

as you just saw that

latrice was on with dr berg fill out an

application go to dr berg.com and be

part of our live show every friday and

then finally anis along with so many

others loves you dr berg so you know you

got some friends out there

and let’s see why don’t we go to

uh

our quiz question and the quiz question

asked

which area of your skin on your body has

the most friendly microbes and you gave

a little

example of that and from that 40 percent

of the respondents say the hands are

arms 20 say the feet

or soles of the feet 20 percent say the

scalp and 20 say the forehead or the

face any winners

yes it’s actually the bottom of the foot

primarily the heel

the heel

has the most

microbes and i’m talking about also

friendly fungus i’m trying to educate

people on the

um

so they’re not so germaphobic because

without these microbes

your skin becomes raw and red and

irritated so

don’t try to sterilize your body so much

to the point where you kill off all

these microbes because they’re helping

you they’re they’re um there to defend

and protect

and uh they’re part of your immune

system so um

you know i’ll be releasing a video on

that topic very soon but

yeah these microbes are

are really amazing and they um

if you try to kill them they’re not just

bad germs they’re good germs if you

change the environment of your skin or

your body um the bad guys turn i’m sorry

the good guys turn into the bad guys so

they flip under stress

and they become pathogenic

and they create problems for us so um we

can’t live without them

they digest all of our fiber that we

can’t digest so we appreciate that we

provide a home and they give us b

vitamins and other other type of

protection

it’s called a symbiotic relationship um

you know you have to

live with

these other microbes right

or else

if you don’t tolerate them then you’ll

have problems absolutely well you know

as a child of the 50s and 60s none of us

had shoes on in the summer and we were

tromping over everything and polio was a

rich person’s disease all the kids on

the street with dirt on their face and

dirt on their heels uh seemed to survive

it but the rockefellers and so on and

our own uh president roosevelt had uh

polio so uh there’s a lot of good uh

junk in uh

junk

so keep applying it as dr berg said all

right why don’t we try to catch up here

and let’s go to the next question dr

berg you’re probably looking at the old

feed that stopped can you see yourself

or see this question yet if not i’ll

read it for you

uh why don’t you read it for me steve

very good okay which area oh i’m sorry

all right what is the average daily

sitting time for a person in the u.s how

long do we stay on our keisters

and yeah so so uh obviously obviously

everyone’s sitting down right now well

take a wild guess

uh of

how much time we an average person sits

okay so let’s see what you guys have to

say about that

all right terrific and a slightly

truncated list but here’s the folks that

are now watching us and they’re joining

us from the uk canada poland russia

belgium france india pakistan mexico

denmark algeria trinidad egypt germany

the netherlands chile the czech republic

saudi arabia norway nigeria and i’m sure

many more and of course all across these

united states so thank you so much and

we see you on social media and we are

trying to um keep up with that let’s see

steve from facebook uh no association i

have been intermittent fasting since the

first of the year i’m 70 and feel super

just need to lose that last 10 pounds

how can you get there dog

it’s always the hardest because your

body um

doesn’t like

it’s counterintuitive it likes to

survive and and getting rid of something

is not survival your body likes to

retain fat because it’s a survival

mechanism right so you’re going to have

to bend the

bend the physical universe by doing

either longer fasting

or cutting your carbs lower and lower

and lower or adding a lot more exercise

because that last bit is like just think

of it like

your body’s you’re trying to get rid of

something that’s you’re trying to help

your body

so you’re going to have to do things

that are even more extreme

to take that last

few pounds off unfortunately i’m sorry

um that’s what you have to do so

well that’s true there you go

okay fg from youtube uh can you offer

any guidance for oh got protein ura and

kidney

disease protein urine yeah kidney

disease and your protein the urine um

what you have to do is

believe it or not there’s some

there’s some great data on

on fasting but

you know here’s the problem i don’t know

what stage you’re at if you’re stage

five and you’re on kidney dialysis

that’s a that’s

that you’re going to have to really

consult your doctor on that but i will

say that there’s some

fascinating data it’s been

you know there’s been this idea that you

can’t you like potassium is toxic to the

kidneys and so stay away from potassium

but

and then it was like well if you have

stage five cancer

kidney disease you can’t have potassium

and now they’re saying

um even if you do have advanced kidney

potassium is protective if it’s from

food so i would really try to get your

nutrition from food

because think about what’s happening if

you have protein in the urine that means

that your body is

not reabsorbing this protein and

recycling the protein so now

there’s like holes in the bucket it’s

just going through

and so it’s showing up in

the blood because the blood

the kidneys are filters of your blood

so um

again it’s going back to the healthiest

version of keto you can do with the help

of your doctor to make sure that you’re

not eating too much of certain things

but um you know you can’t get away if

you have bad kitties you can’t get away

with just regular foods you can’t get

away with uh uh foods that are just

conventional you have to do

organic

uh you know

stuff that you raise in your own garden

because you got to step it way way up

you can’t afford to go off the program

you have to be very very strict and i

think that’s the way to pull out of this

and i’m going to tell you quickly this

this guy who was a patient came to see

me

he’s a

veterinarian and

he was on kidney dialysis and he came to

my office for three days for some help

and

we got him on the right program

and it was a little bit dangerous and

risky for him to come out like that

because

he was kind of doing this in between his

sessions well anyway to make a long

story short

he got really really strict he did very

well

and uh guess what he survived

to the point where his doctor did not

even continue to recommend

the um

um the

the procedure where you actually are the

kidney dialysis anymore so

that was like a miracle and uh it just

tells us that

if your diet is good

there’s all sorts of things that can

happen that can go beyond just

the traditional medical care and and the

doctor didn’t have any experience in

that but he was shocked to find out that

wow we don’t need to do that anymore

so it’s a combination of super healthy

keto with

really good fasting

wow that’s fantastic well speaking of

microbiomes i’m not sure if this is

janet from youtube my partner has a bad

yeast infection on his body it’s

incredibly itchy what do you suggest

they do now i suggest a new partner doc

do you have any other recommendations

for janet um yeast yeast

lives in fungus and candida

live on sugar

so i would dramatically reduce your

sugar

and i would also get um

my liquid

probiotic

and take a little bit and dilute it

maybe by just put a teaspoon in water

and dilute it and put that on your skin

because that way you can actually put

this friendly microbe

on

on the body you see the the bacteria in

your body curb or keep in check

the fungus and yeast this is why when

you go on a

you know like some antibiotics you end

up with a yeast infection because you

kill off your bacteria antibiotics don’t

kill yeast fungus

mold

and

candida they don’t kill that so you just

wipe off you wipe up the bacteria and

then you get these overgrowths and

especially if you’re eating sugar so you

you really want to cut out all the sugar

if you want to kill off yeast or candida

all right that’s terrific and by the way

for our global audience we are going to

stay on the air for at least an extra 15

minutes to make up for our beginning

shortfall so we’re going to get to your

questions we’re going to get to

everybody in the green room we’re going

to get all the quizzes and that’s and

and so on so speaking of quizzes

uh let’s see let’s get the next one here

oh yes

what is the average daily sitting time

for a person in the u.s sixty percent uh

say eight to ten hours

thirty percent say 11 to 15 hours

and 10 say more than 15 hours

are they under something doc okay

the answer is between 12 and 15 hours

that’s incredible that blew me away

that’s

that’s the majority

of the day

it’s amazing you know and i’m i’m guilty

um you know i didn’t even realize how

many hours i spent

sitting

and so what happens that tends to

shorten your

your uh your thigh muscles your quad

muscles

and your flexors basically uh on the

body internally and and then that kind

of throws off your um

your back so your back is constantly in

a protective spasm tightness and it’s

underneath a lot of back pain which

actually is my video today so the

sitting is a killer and that is um

if you sit a lot what you need to do is

probably set your alarm

every

i don’t know every few hours to get up

and stretch and stretch your thigh

muscle out so if you go to my

youtube channel when we’re done here and

i show you the best stress for that that

would be good but

um yeah you have to counter it because

unfortunately you know we have to sit um

and then at night when we’re sitting

again and during the day you might sit

so we pretty much spend way too much

time sitting so um

you have to

counter that that problem

well i’m countering it with nutritional

yeast a constant stream of those are

going into my mouth uh but not so fun is

divesh from youtube his mom has stage

four cancer

uh please share some advice on what she

can do i assume of course he’s talking

about diet

watch my video i watch my all my videos

on cancer

uh i talk i give some great advice and

then um of course i’m not going to make

any claims

but these are just things that you

should be educated in there was a

gentleman

a success story he was stage four

terminal they sent him home to go home

and die and guess what he’s still living

and guess what he doesn’t have cancer in

his body anymore he started his own

youtube channel and you should watch it

and you’ll see his link if you watch all

my my videos but

um there’s a lot to be said about cancer

there’s a lot of protocols right now

some of you have helped

fund some cancer research that we’re

doing

in europe right now

and uh

it’s it’s the reason why it’s not a

short study is because we wanted to do

it long enough to see how long these

mice survive with this protocol which is

a great

amazing

um

protocol based on a brilliant

uh

scientist in

in france uh in his data that he’s not

just an md but he’s a has his phd in

biochemistry and he

he’s an older gentleman that doesn’t

do that anymore but he gave us

some amazing data that i’ve shared on

other youtube channels of

of a protocol

of a new strategy that literally causes

the cancer cell

to not be able to reproduce their their

membranes

and so

unfortunately the diet for um

once you have cancer is going to be

different than the diet that you would

consume to prevent cancer

all of you that don’t have cancer that

are watching

should be right now

on the diet that prevents cancer you

should actively and aggressively do that

and that just happens to be the healthy

version of the ketogenic diet with

in a minute fasting

interesting well here’s a little side

note april from youtube dr berg my dog

is barking because he hears your dog

barking so charlie is sending them all

sorry about that i

unfortunately there’s nothing i can do

about that oh well that’s not a

criticism we know he’s out there chasing

ponies and having fun so that adds a

little bit of farm flavor to the whole

thing

uh let’s see where are we now so uh

chanel from youtube thanks dr burb my

fibroids shrunk because of your videos

thank you from india

so that’s great oh i hate those fibroids

that’s awesome that is awesome

i have videos on on fibroids if anyone

wants to get more information

well that is fantastic and so is our

next question so which country has the

lowest rates of breast cancer and why is

that which country has the lowest rates

of breast cancer and

why is our next question audience and

let’s see if we can’t go back to our

green room and vivian from stormy

amsterdam

is has a question for you and vivian

unmute yourself and you’re on with dr

bird

i think i i did answer that if i’m not

mistaken you correct me well we have two

vivian’s one from virginia vivian did we

answer your question

right i did answer both of them before

i’m not sure

okay you know what probably not on the

air do you want to uh recap uh vivian’s

question

uh for vivian

that was the person with the with the

liver

um that had liver enzymes and uh

um

you know she was doing great and then

she kind of went off the main program

and then we just told her get back on

the main program just because it takes

time to especially if liver liver’s

involved it does take about

three years of consistency um so it’s

all about this

you know that’s been the hardest thing

for people is to stay consistent uh

especially even with exercise so um i

think

if you learn from my mistake it’s like

you know to the point where

if i go off this program i don’t i don’t

survive very well so i like to survive

so um i made it

doable

and um

you know so just follow some of the

advice that i give you and you’ll you’ll

you’ll do fine

absolutely let me see

here doc oh uh why don’t we go to one i

don’t think you’ve talked to and that is

usman and he’s from birmingham uk

england and i’ve been today

oh

i’ve said my name oh you did well

uh yeah

oh okay well why don’t you vivian would

you

kick it off for us

i have a few very very short

questions um about the omad do i need to

eat every day at the same time

or can it also be

one time i i have a few hours earlier

you know that’s a really good question i

think um

you want to mimic

what our bodies were designed to do

so

way back

in the day

um we didn’t eat

at a regular time did we we ate when

there’s food so if you could mimic that

eat whenever you feel like you need to

eat that and stagger it that would be

actually better than actually having a

consistent time

especially if you’re doing omad one meal

a day

i think

you’d be more flexible with that um

yeah because the body gets used to it

and uh

it would actually help help things

can i do this

how long do you do omad you do that for

just as long as you want to be healthy

and then you can go back to

eating six meals a day

okay and and the key to an uh

intermitting fasting is that for life

oh yeah you could say that yeah might be

good for life feels long again as long

as you want to be healthy um okay

yeah

and there’s another thing i take one

glucosamine tablet a day

on advice of my

chinese

doctor

for my joints

does it harm the keto in the ear no no

none of these herbs

are

are that harmful now

that’s a really good one and uh yeah not

a problem at all um you can continue to

take those um

yeah because they’re they’re from nature

so

i wouldn’t worry about it

okay and can i drink black coffee with

almond milk

yes you can

preferably organic preferably organic

but yes you can

okay and then

one more question

i eat white cheeses

okay but i thought um that when you are

in keto that you were not supposed to

use

dairy because it’s from the cow

so it’s

me well keto is low carb right

keto is low carb so you don’t want to do

milk but

when you turn milk into cheese

guess what the microbes in the cheese

eat up all the carbs

so it’s higher in protein it’s very low

in carbs so cheese is low carb

yeah

okay yeah i know

okay so there’s no no harm and there’s

another question i have two things i

have a very dry skin

and it looks like my my face is like a

dry out apple so i i drink enough so i

don’t know what i’m doing wrong

well i think

and thank you again for your one

question but i think what you should do

is you should probably um

work on your fats to make sure you have

enough

fats but it’s not just about fat it’s

about the digestion of fat through the

gallbladder if there’s not enough bile

bile in your gallbladder then what

happens is that your skin gets dried out

and so

if you go back to

like that when i talk about my book

compare what you’re eating to what’s in

my book and see what you’re missing um

it’s probably not liquid it’s probably

more of the the healthy fats that you’re

missing

uh and even like the omega-3 fatty acids

and i talk about them in my book a lot

so also search out my uh video on dry

skin because uh you’ll get more

information on that too

well all right thank you so much vivian

thank you vivian and i

i don’t believe it she does not look

like a dried out apple she looks

terrific from amsterdam to great weather

and so on so we have an answer to our

third question of the day and the

question asked which country has the

lowest rates of breast cancer and why is

that

well the audience thought that 35 of

them say africa 25 say italy in other

parts of europe 20 say india and 10 say

japan i’m sticking with japan

you know japan is uh at the top of the

list and it’s it’s i mean it’s close

with some of these other countries too

but japan is the highest but did they

tell you why steve

well uh i know i it’s diet related they

did not but i think it’s diet related

i think you’re right on that um one

thing the japanese consume

these especially women is uh higher

amounts of

iodine okay

in this seek help

because they have a lot of seaweed and

um

and uh in their diet in fact

you know um the rdas

for

iodine is like 145 micrograms in a you

know in the

u.s they consume 100 times that

and guess what

iodine is a wonderful protector against

excessive amounts of

estrogen that is harmful and can cause

breast cancer and ovarian cancer and

uterus cancer

so um

there when you eat consume more

diet related iodine you’re more

protected against

uh the overdose of estrogen and even

cancer so um

how do you get that you know well guess

what you can do the seaweed which i know

a lot of you just love seaweed or you

can do the shellfish or

fish

i i think that’s probably the thing that

you can focus on is ocean fish that

gives you a lot more iodine and there’s

some iodine and maybe some eggs and even

dairy but the problem is

the soils are so depleted unless you

consume food that is

close to the shoreline of an ocean

you’re not going to get it so um

again

make mental note of this i’m going to

release a video very soon

on how to do a home test

take you a few

well take about an hour to figure out if

you’re deficient in iodine and if you

are

guess what you need to start consuming

more fish

or start to consume more

seek help

interesting okay victor from youtube has

been doing intermittent fasting 16-8 as

well as the keto diet now i find i have

to fast longer to see results does the

body build resistance to ketogenesis

um

you know it’s it’s just like anything

else

i wouldn’t say resistance against it but

it gets used to it and that last

that last bit of weight definitely takes

a lot more work to come off but um

um i think it’s uh

it’s important to

um stay consistent and let your body go

through whatever it needs to go compared

to what a lot some people do not a lot

of people but

they they then have this idea that they

need to do carb cycling because you

don’t want to do keto forever whatever

so they start doing cycling so they have

these

once a week you just carb day and they

carve out

but there’s been some studies on that

that show that that’s not beneficial it

doesn’t help you to

carve out you’ve been doing carb out

your whole life and so adding more

carbs just

brings you backwards it’s kind of like

um

is it okay to do occasional poisons well

no it doesn’t help the body

but

all that sugar refined carbs does you no

good it’s not beneficial

all right keep that in mind on to our

next question which mineral is behind

the feeling of weakness while fasting

boy we don’t want to take that one

does the audience know what it is i’m

sorry what mineral deficiency is behind

the weakness when you do fasting ah okay

when you feel weak when you’re fasting

there’s one thing that’s missing

that you’re deficient in that i want to

see if you guys know what that one thing

is

okay it’s not a mineral causing it but

the lack of a mineral causing it so

that’s a lack of a mineral that’s what

we are looking for and let’s see what

else do we have here okay and this is an

oft-asked question george from youtube

can i eat nuts on keto and what if if so

what are the best

yes you can but again if you too much

you can irritate your gallbladder

i think the the best nut

is the um you know of course make sure

you do organic because they really they

douse these with

you know pesticides especially peanuts

because it’s like it’s not an actual nut

it’s a legume and it’s in this soft

shell underneath the in the soil so you

can imagine just soaks up all these

pesticides um so one of the best nuts

that i recommend

uh is the walnut because the omega-3 but

then the um i like the pecans

i love pecans

and because it’s fatty and it’s really

um

it’s a good ratio of fat to protein

so i would go with the walnut

and the pecan

and there’s other nuts too but the

problem with the

almonds is that they’re they are high in

oxalate so if you’re prone to kidney

stones or arthritis

that might not be a good choice

pistachios are also good as well

but

here’s the other thing too i mean it’s a

pain in the butt to germinate these nuts

and seeds but to soak them in water

overnight and then to put them in a

dehydrator would be the ultimate thing

you could do because you’ll find the

digestibility goes up and boy the taste

goes up so

um

that just that’s just some extra stuff

that if you

have the time to do it go for it all

right that’s terrific and we had the

lovely linda w on our cue but she fell

off somehow but thanks to our message

board we got a question and she wants to

know what’s a good regimen for digestion

if you well we just talked about

gallbladder but if you don’t have a

gallbladder

that was her second question so

yeah if you don’t have a gallbladder

then you’re good to go so then you don’t

worry about that problem now you really

need the gallbladder and the gallbladder

is like this organ that is a little

pouch and that stores and concentrates

bile so if you don’t have it that means

you’re going to be lacking the the

concentration bile to

to be able to help you

extract some of these fat soluble

vitamins vitamin a e d e and k

and omega 3 fatty acids so

the diet you should be in now is a diet

that

has some additional um help

like purify bile salts i recommend

gallbladder my gallbladder formula and

yes i am totally biased on that 100

um

but

also

taking more

of these

nutrients maybe in a supplement form the

vitamin d3 right k2 the vitamin e

um so you have to take more so it can be

digested

um because

you may show over time a deficiency

like

if you’re deficient in vitamin a you’ll

notice like at night your your vision is

is worse and worse and worse

um with the vitamin e it could be

showing up in the heart as chest pain or

if you’re doing rock climbing high

altitude

out of oxygen because vitamin d gives

you more oxygen it’s a real powerful

um

support especially to the muscle

of the heart

also

vitamin um

let’s see

k2 you may be building up calcification

in the arteries or the joints as

arthritis and then if you’re lacking k1

you may have a problem with excessive

amount of bruising

or you bleed easily

so these are all just like indicators

that you know you need more support with

the bile cells and omega-3 if you’re

deficient in that you might get achy

joints and arthritis

all right well i think i know the answer

to this but latrice in richmond

is juicing and she wants to know if she

can do that while on uh intermittent

fasting and keto worried about the sugar

i think she probably should be

from fruits especially if you do

anything like carrot juice apple juice

beet juice if you’re gonna do juicing um

on

keto

make it like like vegetable like

juice you know kale

celery

greens

but don’t add anything to sweeten it

i’m sorry

yeah sorry you put that to bed christina

from youtube i fought utis all my life

and i still get them at 60.

i only have half of a thyroid and i take

meds for that i have arthritis and my

urine is always cloudy help

you need to go right to the basics and

really compare what you’re doing to what

you should be doing based on my book

okay

and then you’ll find out what you need

to do but

after you start doing healthy keto

you’re going to find that your kidneys

are going to be cleaner i mean the

filtering is going to be cleaner your

urine is going to be better just tells

me that your diet isn’t correct now i

can tell you a certain remedy to take

there’s a lot of them

but unless you get the basic eating

corrected

it’s kind of like expensive urine just

kind of goes right through you so

i’m opposed

people taking

vitamins or nutrition if they’re not

correcting

their basic diet that’s

that’s something that i would highly

recommend that you consider at least

trying

once in a blue

all right dr berg just hit the cough

button on behalf of charlotte i

basically had to quickly pause because

this

dog outside um

is sparking but now

he’s chilled out well we’re all charmed

by him and we have answers to quiz

question number four which asks which

mineral or lack of mineral is behind the

feeling of weakness while fasting

and

55 said magnesium 40 say potassium and a

measly 5 say

selenium okay it’s sodium

sodium

salt

salt salt sea salt that’s what i’m going

to recommend if you feel weak

when you’re doing

either keto and especially fasting

intermittent fasting

take more salt and your energy will come

straight up and vertical and i’m not

talking about energy i’m sorry your

strength

your you’ll feel stronger you will feel

less weak

um

so make mental note of that steve okay

and we should make middle note of this

kamenzi from youtube and many others

according to terry love your beard makes

you look sexy so there you have it

karen just said i heard that

well i don’t know if that’s a question

you need to answer well karen i tell you

got nothing to worry about

uh because you’re absolutely gorgeous

now let’s see bulky xenia i can’t

believe that’s their name from youtube

can i have hibiscus tea while fasting

yeah that’s a really good one uh it’s a

it has antimicrobial properties

antioxidant properties anti and

anti-inflammatory properties so yeah

that

that would be a great tea any of the

herbal teas are really good um but just

watch the ones with caffeine get the

ones that are naturally decaffeinated

herbal teas it can help you fast and it

can give you phytonutrients that uh can

help you speed up autophagy and increase

autophagy which is the recycling of

you know

old proteins

so yeah for sure

all right well that’s great and you know

i had the pleasure of going to

birmingham england once gorgeous town

and that’s where our next uh participant

in the green room is coming from and

usman

from birmingham is on with dr berg and

go ahead with your one question usman

hi guys can you hear me

yes perfectly yeah perfect so dr berg my

question would be in regards to

intermittent fasting and omad

so when would a person uh following this

diet

like i am start to realize that it’s

starting to plateau and kind of like

not be as effective

so usually um

i will lose a lot of weight at the start

and then it goes slow so i just want to

know um

what are the signs for this and

um what could i do to overcome this

like a like a plateau type thing is that

what you’re saying yes so you know

it starts a little bit slower than usual

yeah yeah okay um i whatever you know at

first when you do this um you really you

will lose a lot of water weight and

sometimes you lose fat uh and then you

might you might ebb and flow get better

and worse better or more proven less

improvement over time

but the fact the indicators to look at

um

are not necessarily weight loss

it would be more of um

the most important indicator would be a

lack of appetite so if you if your

appetite is gone and it’s like really

going away and you have no cravings

especially

that means you are on track it’s working

fine and when you do omad

you’re doing a good amount of fasting

and so that means the amount of ketones

that you’re going to generate

are going to be like at least three

times more than if you just eat a

ketogenic diet

so that’s good so you’re going more into

deep

ketosis and you’re getting the benefits

and i want to talk about the benefits

you know you have some weight loss and

then

brain regeneration and healing

protein

repair

like your muscles start going from

atrophy to building

better mood so your mood goes up

so you become

more

happy you’re less depressed less anxiety

and so we have brain improvements we

have immune improvements we have weight

loss improvements um

more energy so so you want to look at

all these factors to know

you know if you just go by weight loss

and you just stop losing weight you may

think it’s not working but your body

has to get healthy

first before it starts losing weight

so

okay

how can we speed it up

um well we’re just going to

now we’re going to do something a little

more radical and now it’s like okay

let’s i’m gonna do a

a two day fast

all right next week i’m gonna try a

three day fast and you start doing it

like that and that’s when you really

start kicking in high gear and getting

even better results you can also look at

what you eat on that meal is it is the

carbs low enough

we can also add some exercise we can

also try to reduce the stress by

spending more time outside in nature

things like that

you can also try to

get an extra hour of sleep these are all

just things that you can speed it up but

i think the thing that’s going to

probably

work the best and produce the biggest

benefit which is

might be the hardest is to do the

periodic prolonged fasts

48 hours or 72 hours

but that can give you some really good

benefits

just uh lastly um for example if i was

to get to my ideal weight

would it be sensible than to go to two

meals or just stick to one meal a day

for

a long time but those two years would be

healthy it wouldn’t be um unhealthy

meals

good question and i know in england they

probably don’t use a lot of sugar in the

in the diet in the food so you’re safe

on that

and again that was more dry sense of

humor but i would

i would play it by ear and you hit your

ideal weight

and then just play it by ear see what

happens when you do two males how do you

feel does the weight come back can you

maintain it

um

i think i would just

cross that bridge when you get there

because you have flexibility and

um

yeah i would i would just play it by ear

you can probably

you know go to two meals and see how

that i see how you do or add more fat to

that big meal once one meal a day

yeah

thank you dr burke sure no problem

gusman thank you and yes uh indeed in

england they call french fries chips and

they got chips on every corner

uh

i’m sure i’m sure they’re fried in some

really healthy oils as well so i think

we’re good on that that’s right

absolutely

so anyway usman thank you so much and uh

you know it sounds like you’re gonna

survive all this

so let’s see what do we have here hedy

from youtube

which of your products couch i’m sorry

folks i just dropped that right on my

keyboard how did that sound doc

uh let’s see hedy from youtube which of

your products would help with sickle

cell anemia could you please do a video

on how to address sickle cell anemia

well i think i would take um um

the best i will do a video on that but i

think the best thing is something to

support your blood and the best blood

support product i have would be the

wheatgrass juice powder that’s because

it’s a it’s like a liquid

natural blood of a plant it’s

chlorophyll and it’s the chemistry of

chlor of your blood is similar to

chlorophyll but with the substitution of

the magnesium versus the iron that we

have that’s red

so

that chlorophyll

in the wheatgrass juice powder is raw

it’s in a dormant state you just add

water

it is

it’s fascinating because it’s part of

the floral uh the photosynthesis which

is a basically the

solar panel

they’re solar panels these plants and

they they convert the sunlight

to all these wonderful uh chemicals

that

give us all these great health benefits

so chlorophyll is a

great blood

builder and supporter

and nutrient enhancer

so that’s really good um and you take

like um

yeah like one little scoop is equivalent

to like a whole tray of wheatgrass juice

now steve since we’re on talking about

wheatgrass i have to diverge to um

i’m growing instead of wheatgrass i’m

growing barley grass

in a separate

small little

barn that we made

for

our animals

and so what we found was that uh

you can sprout barley seeds about six

inches

and the animals just eat it up like it’s

a candy it’s like the

these cattle are like uh sharks that

just eat up this they call it fodder but

it’s a barley seed which is really

similar to um the wheatgrass

and so

here i am i have a product wheatgrass

juice powder in them and also now i can

give it to the animals and they eat the

the roots the grass everything and the

sheep and the goats love it and the pigs

will eat that like

it’s candy so it’s really healthy for

them and

so that’s what we’re doing and i will be

creating some videos on that because

it’s a very interesting

new less expensive way of feeding

animals and to spike the nutrition as

well

wow yummy indeed by the way i was being

very generous with your time dr berger

you got a few more minutes to help us

get through these last questions

yes that is terrific okay and here’s a

question from youtube jmj wants to know

uh about your new face cream uh you know

how it works and how it can help extreme

mature dry skin talk about that product

yeah it’s it’s a it’s

you know karen my wife she just loves it

because it’s uh

there’s these facial creams are so i was

just sick and sick and vital that just

the chemicals that they use they just

it’s the they use the cheapest

ingredients so we have a product that

has some like some seriously high

quality essential oils and without the

chemicals

the petroleum-based chemicals and so

when you put this stuff on your face

it’s like a whole different

thing what you have to realize is that

your skin is like a sponge even if you

put it on your hands or your any part of

your skin it goes right in goes ends up

in the liver so why would you want to

put

chemicals and mineral oils and things

like that

that are petroleum-based

um

you don’t want to put anything on your

skin that has that so it’s a it’s a real

quality and that’s what i’m i i really

want to focus on is

quality food and i’m talking about

nutrient dense

quality things you put on your body on

your hair things like that

versus the the chemicals that are are

bombarded with so

um

yeah this cream is is pretty uh pretty

cool stuff and

karen loves it and you should try and

see if it helps you

that’s wonderful okay last question the

audience has been so quick i think we

can pull it off which nutrient

deficiency is indicated by a missing

half moon in the fingernail called a

lunula like lunar i guess so uh anyway

why don’t you guys jump on that

really quickly

and then uh yeah so that on your finger

i’m not flipping you off uh steve but

there’s that little um half moon there

if that’s missing

what does that tell us as far as what

what you

you’re missing in your in your nutrition

interesting

okay here we go uh a fruit but one that

i think you can have esp

from social media wants to know if lemon

juice is uh you can use it on an

extended fast

yes yes because the lemon juice has the

citrate and citrate reduces the

oxalates

in your body and also helps your ph uh

it helps give you

like i even recommend um

it helps with um

vitamin c

bioflavonoids especially if you take the

whole lemon

and you blend it with water and maybe a

little

electrolyte powder or maybe even some

stevia and you blend that

and you drink that down when you’re

fasting you’ll get a nice shot of some

serious natural vitamin c with all the

other

complex component wonderful

phytonutrients the bioflavonoids the

phenols and

it’ll help it boost your energy and it

just

you know people i think a lot of people

are deficient in vitamin c subclinically

and don’t even know it because they

don’t consume enough leafy greens and uh

um

so where they’re getting their vitamin c

you know um

lemons are a good source um especially

the outer part of the lemon or the or

even the like the rind

interesting well that’s really good

listen uh you know people love your

products and now they’re available

internationally in the uk where usman’s

from russia europe singapore united arab

immigrants is there any sort of new news

in that front dock

uh no it’s it’s the same news as always

um

we’re still available in different parts

of the country if you i think we’ll

leave a link down below if you are in

another part of the world um we may be

able to

uh speed up a shipment and decrease the

the shipping costs because of the you

know coming from the us is a bit

you know expensive

all right let’s see uh

oh we have more handsome stuff sorry

karen i’m gonna put that on but uh

anyway we’re waiting for oh here it is

so the final question and that question

asked

which nutrient deficiency is indicated

by that little half moon that dr bird

just described and 35 percent of our

respondents say zinc is missing

uh 30 say got to have some more calcium

25 say magnesium and 10 say iodine

okay i’m going to give you a hint steve

see if you could pick this up all right

all right i’m going to see if you can

guess it the hint is um

this vitamin has cobalt in it

so what vitamin is missing

what vitamin is cobalt

my goodness a vitamin i’d say magnesium

no

zinc how about b12 b12 i mean

methionocobolamine cobalt it’s a b12 i

knew that that is efficiency if your

mission if you’re low in b12 you won’t

have those little

those little moons on your your

fingernails so

um now you have a way of knowing if

you’re deficient and then i will be

releasing a video

uh on a do-it-yourselfer to see if

you’re low in um iodine as well so stay

tuned for that as well so that’ll be a

good one interesting well the whole

audience was wrong including me so we’re

all wrong on that front what a way to

end the show but doc i think we’ve done

all of our homework

so any closing thoughts

so i just appreciate all of your

attention i i’m glad that you’re

enjoying the videos and um

thank you for your

wonderful attention i will see you

tomorrow morning released at six o’clock

in the morning with the next video

eastern standard time have a good one

see you next week as well
