so you wake up in the middle of night with your  heart racing what could that be well the first  

thing you want to do is differentiate between is  your heart rate really increasing or do you have  

palpitations because they can feel very similar  and so ideally you’d want to check your pulse  

to see if your pulse rate is higher tachycardia  is a medical name for a high pulse rate over 100  

beats per minute the normal beats per minute  should be around 72 but it could be actually  

a lot lower if you’re in shape or it could be  slightly higher or palpitation is a little bit  

different it’s not necessarily a sustained high  pulse rate it the heart is flipping or flopping  

or speeding up temporarily or slowing  down temporarily but i do have videos  

on palpitation slightly different than this i  put a link down below but we want to talk about  

if you’re all of a sudden waking up in the middle  of night with a high pulse rate what’s going on  

let’s take a look at all the potential causes of  tachycardia well alcohol will do it too much sugar  

will do it because sugar depletes potassium  potassium is kind of like a governor or a  

regulator of your pulse rate and so without  potassium you don’t have the brakes in the car  

so it’s all accelerators so the pulse rate will go  up in fact i remember right before i got married  

we were living in san diego and we were going  around trying to find the best wedding cake  

and so we were going to different places sampling  wedding cakes and then we ended up at an italian  

restaurant and had pizza and pasta and wine  and right before they’re closing i realized  

we were the last people left and so the waiter  said would you like to sample some of these  

these desserts before we toss them out and of  course i don’t want to waste any food so we  

sampled everything and so i was driving home that  night with a tremendous amount of carbohydrates  

flowing through my bloodstream and right when i  went to bed i noticed this large pounding in my  

ear it’s like boom boom boom boom my pulse rate  was not only accelerated but it was loud what  

was happening in my blood was all this sugar was  depleting the potassium that i had and so there’s  

nothing left to keep the pulse rate under control  so too much sugar will deplete potassium and your  

pulse rate will go up and you will not be able to  sleep also just having low potassium in general  

can increase the pulse rate low magnesium  can increase the pulse rate and if you are b1  

deficient which by the way is very very common  your pulse rate will be a little bit too high  

so you’d want to take some nutritional yeast to  get that b1 and your pulse rate should come down  

stimulants like caffeine from coffee also  chocolate and tea will keep the pulse rate  

too high an overactive thyroid will keep your  pulse rate high i did a video on this and one  

of the remedies is actually taking b1  anemia can keep your pulse rate high  

so that would be a lack of b12 or a lack of iron  number nine this is called this autonomium this  

is a dysfunctional autonomic nervous system  and the autonomic nervous system controls  

the pulse rate your heart rate and a lot of other  things and too much stress will cause dysfunction  

of your autonomic nervous system the best remedy  for that would be right here b1 another symptom  

of dysautonomia would be if you were to stand up  too quickly and feel a little dizzy or disoriented  

all right number 10 excessive amount of exercise  this happened to me when i worked out twice in a  

given day and i just got my pulse rate up too  high and it just did not come down too well  

so if your recovery is low or you overdo it  your pulse rate could be too high being too acid  

here’s another example one day i drink some  kombucha tea i didn’t just drink a little bit  

hydrate the whole bottle which actually switched  my ph to being slightly too acidic and my pulse  

rate was just way too high and i couldn’t sleep  that night so too much acid will increase your  

pulse rate and it affects your breathing as well  all right number 12 if your blood sugars are too  

high or too low your pulse rate can go too high  and so if you have any of these obviously it’s  

pretty self-explanatory what you need to do  there are some other things you can do if you  

catch yourself in the middle of night with your  pulse rate high and you need to go back to sleep  

this is what i would recommend there’s a simple  breathing exercise where you just control your  

breathing in and out very slowly at a count of  four to five seconds in and four to five seconds  

out and so as you’re controlling your breath  slowly in and slowly out that will actually  

start to affect your autonomic nervous system and  your pulse rate should come down so it’s something  

that you can do to help you control the heart all  right number two celery maybe you need to get out  

of bed and just consume some celery celery has all  sorts of great wonderful things vital nutrients  

certain types of certain types of minerals that  are really calming to the nervous system as well  

as the blood pressure and i think the number one  cause of a higher pulse rate especially something  

that’s waking you up out of bed would be that your  carbs are just too high so you want to go low carb  

and you want to go no sugar now when you initially  get on a ketogenic plan you may find your pulse  

rate goes up when you’re in this transition  phase for about three days but if you just  

take potassium and a good electrolyte powder and  you take uh vitamin b1 through nutritional yeast  

that should pretty much prevent that  from happening so stress can actually  

raise your pulse rate so during the day you  want to do long walks to keep the stress  

off your body as much as possible i do walking  every single day i think yesterday i walked for  

an hour it’s very therapeutic get in nature and  just do the walks that’s very good for the heart  

and the last thing is to avoid emf i will be  doing more videos on this but these are certain  

frequencies or energies that emanate from your  cell phone electrical wires so if you’re sleeping  

and your cell phone or ipad is right next to  you right by your head or you have a lot of  

electrical devices plugged in unplug them before  you go to bed put your cell phone on airplane mode  

and you’re going to find that you’ll have less emf  what you have to realize is these frequencies have  

a serious influence over your own frequencies you  have a lot of electrical things going on in the  

heart and different fields of energy and so you  want to keep these to a minimum all right guys  

there we have it now you know exactly what to  do before you go if you have a question about  

a product or you’re new to keto and you want to  know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  

need a debug because it’s not going as smooth i  have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the us hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
