[Music]

welcome back everyone uh we’re here for

another uh q a

and of course i appreciate all the

easy questions that you’re going to give

me today

nothing too difficult

anything that i say is definitely not

meant to diagnose or replace your

medical care check with your doctor

before

implementing any of these suggestions

um and i just like to dive right in as

usual so

steve over to you

okay thanks so much let’s go right to

social me media and here’s an

interesting question from jamie from

youtube are grass-fed liver supplements

safe for a 12-year-old

to be specific

yeah and i don’t think

he or she needs um

more than one a day but yes absolutely

because we’re not doing large quantities

you know of course there’s a lot of

vitamin a in liver

retinol

but you’re not um going to consume that

much so yeah it’s totally fine in fact

it’s a good

supplement

to handle things like anemia

and um

various other problems you have with the

fat soluble vitamins very good well for

what it’s worth i’m not having any liver

it’s yucky

uh let’s see moving on from there oh

here we go uh vanad from youtube what is

your opinion on replacing wheat and rice

carbs with millets

uh my opinion is i i wouldn’t i would

replace it

with vegetables

and not another grain because millet

definitely it’s similar i don’t know if

it’s better but we want to go away from

the grains

because of the phytic acid because of

what they do your blood sugar

and um even though they might

potentially have

like

vitamins in their original state

um

as soon as you grind it and make food

into flour and things you’re going to

lose the nutrition because it’s going to

be oxidized and the heat and the oxygen

and light will destroy those nutrients

so you end up having to fortify or

enrich grains with synthetic

look-alike vitamins so it’s really

not good for the digestive system either

all right speaking of the digestive

system marcy and montana from youtube

what do you do when you have celiac

disease with fat absorption issues and

veggies causing watery steels

well i hope you’re not eating any grains

especially gluten because that’s the

that’s the culprit there

but i think you might benefit from a

carnivore diet for at least two months

believe it or not when you have

inflammation or damage in your gut

um one of the best

meals would be like fatty meat believe

it or not you’d think that would be

irritating but you’ll actually find that

you’re going to digest it and i think

partly

is because the fat tends to

slow the digestive transit through the

trash digestive tract

and you have more time for the digestive

enzymes to work on

on that

breakdown

the worst thing you can do is

is basically do just

like plants and grains you know it’s

just gonna the fiber just kind of

irritates you so um that’s what i would

i would try and i think you’ll be

surprised how good you feel wonderful we

hope we hear back from you uh on that

uh listener and let’s go to the first of

five fascinating quiz questions today

and here’s the first one

all right

out of all the vitamins okay

um if i can read this here of all the

vitamins what is the most important to

keep calcium out of your arteries

and i can guarantee that there’s smoke

coming off the fingers of the audience

they are really the fastest quiz

question answers i think in the universe

as they have demonstrated before okay

why don’t we go

uh straight over to the once flaming uk

they’ve cooled down now and this is uh

sophie who’s going to ask you

rapid fire questions and let me get her

on there and sophie remember to unmute

yourself and you’re on with dr byrd

all right hi dr berg great to be here

um i’ve got two rapid fire questions one

is about calorific intake and the second

is about loose skin but just some quick

stats on me

female 50 years old 160 pounds

um 5'3 in height okay that’s my stats i

have done keto i’ve watched hundreds of

your videos done the keto 70 fat 25

protein 5 carbs i’ve done that the

question the first question in calorie

intake is i cannot get past 1100

calories maybe even a thousand calories

before i start gaining weight and not

losing weight so what’s going on with

that that’s number one the second is

when i have done keto i have noticed

more loose and saggy skin on my upper

arms so i have been taking a lot of

vitamin c but i want your

answer on what is the best vitamin c to

prevent that

also take all the other vitamins and

several of the other products you have

so

if you have any questions on that i can

answer

how did i do steve 30 seconds absolutely

fabulous you busted the clock a little

bit but we’re awfully proud

all right

what um

how many meals a day do you have per day

two one at 12 and one at five

okay

so um

[Music]

and your age what was your age again 50

just for 2015 two weeks

i highly highly highly recommend

that you go to omad one meal a day for

two reasons

one

it’ll give you

that extra

fasting that you need to really keep the

insulin lowered

and um

and and you could probably even believe

it or not if you have a meal that’s a

1100 calories or even 1500 calories

and that’s just one meal a day i mean

it’s a lot of food but i think

you’ll you’ll lose weight from that and

uh the other thing with the um the skin

if you the you know you there’s the

question is what what type of diet do

you need for the skin to be tone and

i think fasting again fasting is like

super powerful

autophagy and you’re going to recycle

these proteins

and you’re going to help tone the skin

and you’re going to do it in a healthy

way

and

especially the collagen fibers that

might be over unlike too loose and

things like that i would do more fasting

and then of course i would do

definitely some type of exercise to

stimulate the muscles underneath the

skin

um

but yeah it is a different it’s a

challenge

as you get to the certain point where um

you know let’s say you lose weight and

the skin’s kind of a little bit not it’s

a little looser we’re dealing with

collagen and so we want to increase

growth hormone

and the most potent way to stimulate

growth hormone is through fasting and

intense exercise so you’re looking at

about exercise program that you can do

some type of

high intensity short duration lots of

rest and then a little bit longer

fasting

those are the two things i would put my

attention on if i were you and um

and if your if your metabolism is seems

to be slow then realize it’s you know

you want to just keep focusing on

insulin resistance do whatever you can

to make insulin more sensitive

so you can

improve that

okay

and how much vitamin c did you say doc

i think vitamin c um

i wouldn’t go crazy of doing like large

amounts

as long as you’re doing like a hundred

um milligrams per day i think you’re

gonna be that’s enough for the collagen

um

as far as other things for collagen

you have copper but that’s in the

vitamin c complex

and

stay tuned for a video that i’m going to

release this week

on some even additional things you can

do for

for collagen and skin and um

but vitamin c just like 100 milligrams a

day that would be totally fine

okay thank you great you’re welcome

thanks so much sophie uh and we are glad

things are cooling off in the uk let me

see if we’ve got any answers to our

questions yet oh we do my goodness uh

and the question was let me bring that

back up real quickly here so we can

remember it asks out of all the vitamins

which is the most important to keep calm

excuse me to keep calcium out of your

arteries and

our respondents 75 say vitamin k2 20 say

d3 and 5 vitamin e

well i’m just trying to see who’s been

watching my videos recently and so we

have

75 of the group watching my videos um

just i think yesterday i released the

video um

you realize steve that

the calcium is not a passive thing that

kind of settles in your arteries

randomly

they in your arteries right now you have

um

proteins

to make bone and so

a good percentage of the population end

up turning

their arteries into bone

bone tissue

i mean that’s crazy so we’re dealing

with um

this um

reparative process and if you’re missing

vitamin k2

um the the cal the calcium won’t be

directed into the bone it stays into the

arteries in your joints

so um

vitamin k2 happens to be in

fatty foods it’s in uh butter

egg yolk it’s in cheese it’s also in

fermented foods like sauerkraut and um

i think it’s a nato too it’s this

fermented soybean i’m not sure how they

pronounce it it might be

naito or something like that but yeah

it’s in nato and uh fatty hard cheeses

uh raw cheeses especially european

cheeses um that would be a good way to

prevent the calcium for building in the

arteries you would think

you know you should avoid these fatty

foods if you want to get rid of calcium

but that’s not the fact

well that’s a relief love cheese okay

let’s see who’s listening today good

morning to all our viewers joining us

from and the uk just had one of them on

the show canada uganda jordan taiwan

south africa puerto rico sweden india

germany and tigua

argentina nigeria ireland greece new

zealand israel iran morocco japan

belgium chile

cyprus spain kenya malaysia bangladesh

brazil bali the czech republic iraq

norway iceland goodness united arab

emirates trinidad tobago australia

france algeria the netherlands turkey

bangalore dubai jamaica albania serbia

saudi arabia austria switzerland and all

across the united states and we usually

brag about how these folks can get your

shipment at the end of the show but

while we’re talking about them dr berg

you want to let them know that the great

news about being able to get your

products overseas uh more readily and

for a lower cost

there should be a link down below if

you’re overseas and that way you can

avoid the shipping from america or

overseas so we have different places now

that we actually can stock our product

and that way you can save on shipping if

you wanted to get some products so those

links will be down below

all right terrific well thank you folks

for

listening to the show and let’s go back

to social media denise from facebook is

it necessary to take thyroid meds while

doing keto

yeah that’s definitely a question i

can’t answer your doctor’s gonna have to

do that because i can’t

um give you advice on that but i’m just

gonna say this when you do keto and

intermittent fasting the um you’re gonna

lose weight your your body’s

energy metabolism is going to be more um

it’s going to be

actually less efficient you’re going to

use more

see what happens when you actually um

you gain weight and you have a slow

metabolism

which it appears to be your

your fat cells are just becoming very

efficient it’s not real a damaged

metabolism it’s not ruined it’s just

more efficient

so what we want to do is waste more fat

and so when you do keto intermittent

fasting wasting more fat

the thyroid doesn’t have to work as hard

so t3 tends to go down

and the reason why that’s not a problem

is that

the way they diagnose a hypothyroid case

is through the thyroid stimulating

hormones from the pituitary and that

stays the same when you do keto and

intermittent fasting so your body’s just

becoming more um

better at wasting fat and getting rid of

fat and less dependent on the thyroid

so um

if you have a thyroid problem um now the

question is should you take up take down

the medication well

if your thyroid is working better

should you take the same level of

medication i would just get with your

doctor to see if maybe you don’t need as

much maybe you don’t need any at all so

that’s that’s my answer wonderful rawad

from facebook can high protein intake

cause hair loss

not to my knowledge i do not think you

can um i can’t even think of why it

would so

that’s probably not it

all right fair enough let’s go to the

next question doc

okay which type

of food

primarily

triggers the release of bile salts

all right 75 were smarty pants less time

let’s see how they all you other 25 this

is your time your chance to redeem

yourself so good luck

with that question and let me go once

again to

uh

tatiana

from facebook if i’m doing omad what’s

the best time of a day excuse me to eat

my meal i assume she’s doing oh uh yeah

oh man

i mean if you if you wanted to really

pick the best time of day i would say

like

between

two and four

2 p.m and 4 p.m

i think that would be a really good time

to eat that meal now it’s not practical

all the time so you know

do it when you can do it but um that way

it’s kind of right in the middle of the

day and you’re not eating right before

bed necessarily and

so your digestion might be a little bit

better even though

at night you have more parasympathetic

control over digestion so

i think right midday would be great if

you could do it but it’s not a

vital thing to do

but what is vital is just to eat one

meal a day i mean if you can do that

i would like everyone just to try it

just to see how much better they feel

and then decide if it’s a good thing

because i think you’ll be shocked to

find wow

a lot of problems are clearing up

but it does take some initial discipline

because food

is somewhat in your face all day and so

it’s hard to

you know

overcome that barrier

okay this is hot off the press

uh a request for a video from kia on

youtube could you please do a video on

the benefits of ginger root oil is it

true that rubbing it on your body will

reduce fat

um i will do a video on that i think i

already did one on ginger

but um

i don’t believe rubbing ginger in your

body is going to help you reduce fat i’m

sorry i don’t think that’s going to

happen

there’s no mechanism that i know of

that’s going to

dissolve the fat or reduce the fat

by rubbing that or anything on your body

actually

so

i’m sorry

oh dear okay anna lynn is going to get

very personal with you dr burke asking

how long is your fasting window

um my fasting window

um right now is um

about 19

hours

about 19 hours right now i’m doing um

yeah it’s 19 hours

and and then i’ll also do

20 23 hours

i’ll kind of do that a few times a week

and then i’ll usually do two mails but

then i’ll do one meal and it’s

interesting because i’ve done this long

enough where um i i don’t

i’m just not hungry hardly ever

it’s because i’m just i’m very efficient

at burning fat so it’s just almost like

i’m eating just to kind of like well i

don’t want to lose any more weight or i

just

um it’s time to eat

but um you want to get to a point where

you um don’t have the appetite but i’m

going to just tell you

the rest of people out there

if you’re going to do a prolonged fast

like 48 hours 72 hours

or longer

you know

what’s going to happen

if you you’re going to go through this

interesting phase of

adapting

to burning fat in ketones so there’s

going to be

some uncomfortableness along the way

and it might happen after one day two

days or the third day

but if you just hang in there and then

that goes away because what you have to

do is you have to just switch your

metabolism over and if there’s

absolutely no carbohydrates available

available

or any food your body is forced to go

after

your own fat and so

i think

if you can overcome and be willing to

go through that

phase of like oh

you know you might feel mentally kind of

off a little bit but that just goes away

it’s like it’s not going to last for

more than

probably four to five hours

when you hit that but your your brain

doesn’t run on fat

um so you have to turn that into ketones

and any sugar that you need can be

created

by your own liver

so um

yeah so there will be a little

transition step but then you’ll

you’ll be fine i don’t think you’ll ever

get to the point where

you have no transition or no

negative feeling about when you do

fasting i think most people you notice

they go through a little a little thing

but just expect it it’s going to happen

take the right supplements and sea salt

and

and you’ll get through it and you’re

like wow do i feel on the other side you

just feel incredible

all right very encouraging now tammy

from facebook i don’t sweat how can i

fix this issue don’t believe we’ve heard

that before

that is um an autonomic nervous system

problem

usually related to something called

diabetic

um

what’s it called diabetic

autonomic nervous system dysfunction so

um i think ben photamine is a good

solution to that

um

so just take that

and then push your body a little bit

more like like go into a sauna and just

really try to heat up your body exercise

to try to sweat more um

but i do understand it’s it’s a problem

with

the nervous system that your body’s not

able to sweat and that’s um

it’s not uncommon but um at least this

tells us where your problem is that you

have to focus on

all right very good hope she works that

out let’s go to

back to the audience

and you ask them which type of food

primarily triggers the release of bile

salt 60 said grass-fed fats 30 say leafy

greens and 10 say cruciferous vegetables

okay the answer is saturated fats

so if you start to um

get rid of your saturated fats

and

there’s some schools of thought that

said you know the most you should have

which would be like

you know 11

11 grams per day i think it’s like three

teaspoonfuls i’m like what are you

kidding

so what’s gonna happen is your bile is

gonna dry up

you’re not gonna get the fat soluble

vitamins

you’ll probably um eat other foods that

you shouldn’t be eating and that’s gonna

tear up your gut so um

some i mean you should not fear at all

saturated fats because there’s a lot of

benefits to that

like even if you eat like chicken like

don’t

eat it without the skin have the skin on

it eat it as a whole thing same thing

with fish

like salmon had the skin on it it’s just

a lot better

there’s so much benefit

saturated fats and this is why i’m going

to release a video coming up i think

it’s the

seven benefits of consuming saturated

fats animal fats

wonderful you know we we get a flurry of

questions from all of social media but

there’s a lot of these too which we

don’t uh mention too much and this one’s

from daniel at facebook i have lost 87

pounds on healthy keto nif thank you dr

berg so

uh the routine works for

might i say millions certainly working

for me i would be

oh gosh dr burke i’d be three or four

bills by now if i hadn’t followed your

counsel so i’m so grateful

myself as well all right let’s go on

with the next question uh dr berg and

here she is

okay which type of food oh i think you

already asked that one let’s go to the

next one

oh i sure did sorry about that one you

think i would lose it how about this one

okay this one’s better how does

autophagy

lower um

cancer in your body or lower the risk of

or no actually

how does autophagy lower cancer in your

body i think that’s the question

all right dig into it um

folks why don’t we go back to the

green room and let’s see who should we

pick on now how about diana from montana

let me unmute her here

and chew her up diana you are on with dr

byrd

hi dr berg thank you so much for

everything you do so my question is

about hormone therapy i’ve been on

hormone therapy estrogen and

progesterone for a couple of years now

and um

working into

all of this i really feel like there’s a

relationship between the estrogen and

the insulin resistance and plateauing

and so i

i just wanted to kind of get your

thoughts about

stopping the estrogen the hormone

therapy

so that i could get past these plateaus

um

i’m going to be doing a video on

balancing your hormones i already did it

actually i’ll be releasing it next week

so um but you’re right you’re absolutely

right and i think i would work with your

doc to uh come off that because

uh when you take those hormones

the glands

your own glands don’t have to work as

hard

and um because now your body’s dependent

on these other hormones so you tend to

inactivate the glands that are supposed

to make it so

what glands make estrogen well

you have the ovaries and you also have

your adrenal glands

so if you were to transition off those

and maybe in the meantime you did some

natural

herbal uh replacement that would

probably be a good idea but you’re right

there’s a

huge connection between taking estrogen

and having it cause insulin resistance

and so now here you are trying to fix

one thing but you’re creating another

problem and there’s so many people doing

hormone replacement therapy um

it’s like um

because you go to the doctor and you’re

like well

what’s causing my

problem and they go well you’re just

deficient in the hormone just here take

this hormone i’m like yeah but let’s

take it one step further what’s causing

the deficiency of hormone in the first

place what why can’t we get rid of that

problem and

so anyway i highly agree with

you and you can do some transitional

things i did a video on

what herbs can mimic estrogen and maybe

you

uh start with that and you can help to

kind of gradually kind of

come off of it and and get your own

glands to

to work better

but yeah i agree that’s a smart idea

thank you

well thank you so much for joining us uh

diana everyone’s being so disciplined in

the green room and doing just as they

were requested in terms of quick prompt

questions which allows us even more time

first of all to get to all of them and

get back to social media and nausea if

i’m saying it right from facebook can we

eat chickpeas for keto protein

source

i mean if you’re doing this vegan

wise maybe you can do that for some

protein but take a look at the profile

of chickpeas

and look at the protein

versus the fat versus the carbs

i like the chickpeas in hummus because

you also add the other things that

buffer the insulin response like like

tahini

and olive oil

don’t buy hummus with soy oil by the way

or any other oil than olive oil but um

yeah so i think um that might help you

but it’s definitely definitely

definitely not a complete protein so

you’re going to have to figure out what

protein source you’re going to do but i

just want to say one thing about protein

you know people look at okay so they

evaluate the

amino acids in legumes for example or

grains and they go yep i have this much

protein i can do that but another factor

you have to realize is that the

bioavailability the ability to absorb

and take that protein and turn into body

tissue is it’s a lot lower with these

plant-based proteins than animal

proteins i just want to let you know

i’m just the messenger but the best

protein

hands down that’s available other than

you’re not going to be able to get

breast milk is the egg the whole egg

and if you think that the majority of

protein

comes from the egg white you’re mistaken

it’s actually from the egg yolk

so

just do the whole egg and you’ll be good

to go

yum okay well the audience has lept on

the latest question which asks how does

autophagy lower cancer in your body and

they claim at least 82 percent of them

say autophagy reduces cancers by

eliminating defective cells

18 says because autophagy repair cells

that’s an interesting

quandary there

well the unique thing about cancer is

that cancer originates

from

damaged

mitochondria

mitochondria is the energy part of the

cell

and the mitochondria has its own dna and

when that becomes damaged it morphs and

adapts into this

this different thing which is a cancer

cell that

behaves a certain way it loses its

ability to die

so

guess what

autophagy directly

recycles

those uh the mitochondria that are

damaged it will recycle them so

basically it’s getting rid of cancer and

this is why

fasting hands down is

the answer

to which if you have cancer and what you

should be doing

if you are

interested i um search out some to my

videos where i interviewed two uh cancer

patients who are stage four that don’t

have cancer anymore and they did some

intense fasting

and

there’s some other things they did too

but that’s like the most important thing

all right well we can’t that’s great and

we can’t ignore the good news is coming

in from around the world this is from

down under in australia amanda has lost

125 pounds doing healthy keto and iaf

and she shares your information with

others whenever possible and she wants

to thank you dr berg

my pleasure you’re welcome yeah that’s

great okay aya from youtube will too

much protein make me gain weight

well i think it potentially can

could

make you gain weight if you’re doing a

lot of it but

large amounts of protein can also

increase insulin

but in reality

i do not

think

it’s the sole source of why you’re

gaining weight it can

but it’s usually the combination of the

carbs

so

if you were to do um let’s say

a large amount of protein and in low

carb or no carb um i don’t think you

would gain weight from that potentially

it might increase insulin but when you

eat protein you have another hormone

that gets released it’s called glucagon

which tends to reverse the effects of

insulin

it does the opposite

of insulin so that’s the unique thing

about the protein

all right very good fagette from

facebook what’s the best diet for a

fatty liver

um healthy keto

and if you want more information on that

go to drbird.com but

one study showed that you can reduce 50

percent

of

fat off of your liver within two weeks

of doing

keto

that’s remarkable

what else can you do

i mean medically there is no solution

to um

you know a fatty liver

there’s no medication they can give you

for a fatty liver

so

you might want to try healthy keto

all right now i am not smart enough to

know what this is doris from youtube any

suggestions for someone who has been

diagnosed with alpha gal syndrome i

can’t even take most of my supplements

now

i’m not sure what that is steve all

right well good there’s two of us uh

maybe uh anyway i hope she finds some

relief and maybe it’ll be fodder for a

video one day let’s see um okay winston

from facebook what can i do to extend my

fasting windows past 18 hours i have

trouble with low blood sugars and if i

try to extend past that

i would

highly recommend to really look at what

you’re eating when you’re eating because

that’s going to provide you

the solution

i would increase more fat and make sure

you don’t have any hidden carbs

if you do that

okay

you will normalize your blood sugars and

i’m still not convinced it’s low blood

sugars is the problem

think about what low blood sugars are

right

low blood sugars

come from

an initial spike of insulin

that then pushes the blood sugars down

so

how many carbs are you doing are you

making sure that you’re doing 100

reevaluate that and get your carbs

extremely low and your hypoglycemia

or apparent hypoglycemia will go away

all right very good by the way our

wonderful producer terry says alpha gal

comes from tick bites so that’ll be

interesting to

to learn more about some someday but i

certainly haven’t heard of it myself now

let’s see um

uh

oh debbie from facebook what can i do if

i have a had a hysterectomy and i’m

taking bioidentical hormones i’m not

sure how to deal with that question but

should she do something

well

there’s a great product i would get from

standard process called utrophin pmg

utrophin pmg and if you have your

ovaries out you’re going to have to add

ovitropin pmg

and what will happen is it

it’s um i used to recommend in practice

it really is effective in kind of

replacing what’s missing there as far as

function goes um

i’m not going to get into why it works

but

uh you may just feel that um

you know your body works a lot better

if you actually give it what it’s

missing

okay one more for facebook before we go

back to the green room emanuel from

facebook says i need help managing my

hepatitis b

what should i be doing to address this

issue

well the best thing

for that inflammation hepatitis

is i would do uh two things one milk

thistle

and do

really

consistent intermittent fasting with

some prolonged fasting and that’ll drop

the inflammation dramatically especially

in the living all right very good why

don’t we go to let’s see how about from

beautiful hawaii

lena

is going to be on with us next and lena

remember to unmute yourself and you are

on with dr byrd

good morning dr berg

good morning it’s uh

so my question is

i’m 62

i’m 226 pounds

my gallbladder and appendix were removed

about 40 years ago i have high blood

pressure and my knees are in a lot of

pain

i am presently on a few of your

supplements

and i would like to know what you would

recommend

i just started with the keto

maybe only three weeks ago

okay i think you’re really on the right

track um

but i think that um

with your knees being the way they are i

would immediately start

[Music]

doing backward walking

on your grass or a flat surface where

you can’t trip

watch my interview with ben patrick

knees over toes guy

he provides some amazing

exercises and simple exercises for

people of any age to strengthen the knee

um that will help you but it’s walking

backwards and i still do the exercise

every day and it’s like

boy does that help your knees um

going forward is really stressful on the

knees

um now the second the other question you

said you said one more symptom remind me

of that other symptom

uh i have hyper high blood pressure

that’s right okay so there’s two there’s

two things behind high blood pressure

one is low vitamin d which by the way

will help inflammation so you might want

to just start taking

not ten thousand but twenty thousand i

use a vitamin d3 immediately i think

that will help you

the other thing that can help blood

pressure would be potassium

which um you might be already taking my

electrolyte powder but the potassium

and vitamin d are the best thing for

blood pressure

and um and inflammation too you can kill

two birds with one stone but honestly i

think if you keep keep doing what you’re

doing with keto like i’m recommending it

with fasting and keto

in a matter of four months from now

wow we won’t recognize you

well nice

thank you that’s great you’re welcome

well thank you from that beautiful

island lena and we wish you all the best

and with all of you that come into the

online video chat portion we’d love to

hear back from you after you have you

know tried to uh sort of re organize

your

your health habits etc and it’s really

exciting and you’ve heard a couple of

folks already today who

bragged and i think they deserve to

about the great results they’ve been

getting

from dr berg’s various programs so let’s

see why don’t we

see if we can

trick them again with the next this

one’s a true false or dot

true or false we can get all of our fat

soluble vitamins from plant-based foods

all right audience dig in as you always

do and let’s go back to

in this case youtube and this is a

subject you oft talk about doc christina

from youtube can i do keto in iaf while

breastfeeding

um i i would

um make sure that you’re getting all

your nutrients i would also make sure

that um

um

maybe if it’s two meals that you’re

getting enough nutrition because of

you’ve got to provide some extra food

for this baby and extra nutrition

i would you may want to also just try

three meals but no snacks

you don’t want to do any grazing

um and play around with it and you know

you’ll be able to notice real quickly

if there’s enough milk coming out for

your baby

and that’s really the most important

thing and also

the type of foods that you’re eating

very vital to get all the trace minerals

the fat soluble vitamins

to have the super kid

but i’m glad that you’re breastfeeding

well that’s great and we really want to

cater to our social media folks as well

so we’re going to give rawad another

chance to speak up he said he meant to

ask how does high prolactin not protein

hormone contribute to hair loss if that

makes any difference doc

yeah there’s been some research that

says

that

it does but

i haven’t found tremendous data that

that’s the root problem but potentially

yes

but i’ve not

found

yeah this is just overwhelmingly this is

the problem

it can but i doubt it interesting okay

well we hope that you

find some use in those answers and good

luck with your hair loss okay the

audience is fast and they have already

come back with a true falseer which

asked

we can get all our fat soluble vitamins

from plant-based food

audience 95 of them say that’s

absolutely false five percent yep it’s

true

95 are correct oh boy i mean you you

here’s the thing they they have when you

look at vitamin a

they say that beta-carotene is vitamin a

well it might be part of the complex but

it’s not vitamin a it’s not the active

form

and beta-carotene only has to convert to

retinol which is the active form so

in reality

you’re not going to get

even close to what you need from retinol

by taking beta-carotene

and plus they make it synthetically

which is a completely different thing

which i don’t want to get into in this

video but um

the point is that

it’s synthetic and natural are not the

same

and

you can’t get these fats out of vitamins

from

plant sources

all right very good uh let’s see let’s

go ahead back to

uh our green room and jacqueline has

been enormously um

do we already have jacqueline on

i think we did oh no no from thunder bay

standby that’s right i was bragging

about

her canadian place when we were talking

before the show so anyway enough about

that jacqueline you were on with dr berg

if you unmuted yourself

i did hi dr berg i’m super excited to be

here and i’m so glad that i found you

online

um so i have been vegan for the last

three years and the running joke is i

can’t even lose one pound and then about

three months ago i determined that i had

a gluten intolerance and then i found

you about three weeks ago um so my

question is

first of all i’m already noticing

differences following your program and

cutting out the gluten my inflammation

all of that has gone away

um when i look at your acceptable and

non-acceptable foods for me to find

protein sources i do need things like

lentils beans etc edamame um you don’t

have anything on there about like the

plant-based burgers or cashew cheeses

anything like that so i’m just wondering

if eating those foods will sabotage my

journey with you

and if they will if you could recommend

other vegan sources of protein for me i

think you are the magic link i think

this one is what i’ve been missing so

yeah because i know you i know the

challenge if you’re trying to do this uh

um

without animal products you’re you’re

stuck between a rocket hard place

because you have to how are you going to

bring the carbs down and increase the

fat and get enough protein it’s it’s

challenging so i have a question can you

do eggs or no

my a good friend of mine actually just

dropped off six dozen eggs from chickens

that he does in his backyard that are

free-range grazing

living their chicken lives so i’m

struggling with that but i may do that

because i watched one of your videos on

how eggs are the most are the best

source of protein so

i might do that because nobody’s being

hurt in the process

yeah that’s right that’s right we have

these we have 16 hens in our backyard

right now and uh

um

and it’s uh they just keep

keep popping those eggs out and they’re

very satisfying and the reason i’m

bringing up eggs is because

what we want to do is we want to do the

healthy version which includes making

sure you have all the nutrients in the

active form the most bioavailable forms

vitamin a retinol

and these other ones has vitamin e it

has

the k2 and k1 so that will really help

you

you can

with

your protein you could probably also do

walnuts

and other nuts but

you’re going to have to germinate them

and dry them out to get the get rid of

some of the

phyto nutrients that will block the

trace minerals so um i would i would do

that

and also i would also include

a good amount of fermented

foods for example

sauerkraut has

ungodly amounts of vitamin c

and you also release you make the um

you spike the bioavailability of other

nutrients as well and then the lactic

acid helps your digestion and you you

get more b vitamins out of there so

i would do a lot more ferment

fermentated type foods now as far as the

cashews

you could probably

make those yourself because the problem

is when you buy them from the store if

they’re yogurt or cheese

they add so many different additional

things and especially when you start

buying

these

kind of vegan meats

it’s loaded with the soy protein

isolates and so it’s a very low quality

and it’s going to irritate your

digestive system um

i would stay away from those but it’s

going to be a little more difficult

you’re just going to have to go around

find find things and that can complete

that

but as far as the protein source

there you have blue-green algae

you have nutritional yeast

you have the walnuts which i um

i did a video on walnuts recently and

there’s a great great company that

already um

sprouts them for you and they dry them

out and they’re delicious they’re

amazing so that would be a good

give you a good amount of protein as

well and the omega-3 fatty acids so

those are things that i i should i

should probably do some more videos on

this

that would be awesome thank you so much

and thank you so much

from jacqueline

bay canada let’s go back to social media

far far jan

from facebook is it okay to drink garlic

water

before i go to sleep or will it break my

fast i think it may break the marriage

that sounds sounds awful no it’s not

gonna break your fast it’s totally fine

and there’s a lot of benefits of garlic

water i’ve done a video on that for your

immune system

um get rid of vampires you know things

like that so i think um i would highly

recommend it it’s a it’s a simple thing

and the garlic is like

just freaking amazing what it does to

your

your um your immune system and and

protection against viruses

and

blood pressure and thinning of your

blood

i mean it’s naturally without any side

effects it’s a it’s a no-brainer it’s so

it’s good for so many different things

all right well here is the final uh

question for the day dr burr the

audience has chewed them up so fast

which hormone

most influences the overall health of

your body

all right folks yeah i want to know what

harm out of all the hormones which one

has the greatest

impact

uh over your body

if there’s a problem with it i’m going

to add that to the

a little caveat there

all right very good lillian from

facebook lost 26 pounds on keto and iaf

but took a break for a month while on

vacation what’s the fastest way to get

back into ketosis

well i would say um

you almost have to kind of like um do a

reset

fasting for maybe like a 48 hour fast

and get your body in shape uh and then

you know i always look at it like this

um

if you want to go off the program that’s

i mean totally fine just uh just make up

the damage when you go back on it

you know like eat even better than you

would before

take a little bit more nutrition it’s

kind of like um

you’re repairing

things but you know the best thing about

the way to approach this is to if you’re

gonna go off the program just be very

aware of

of what you’re doing and what and be

willing to have some of the side effects

that can occur for example knocking

yourself out of ketosis for

three days

but i want you to understand

the effects

of this and

and if you are willing to do that then

go off the program and just you know

it’s not a problem but you know what

happens is most people are kind of like

oh my gosh i went off the program again

and i don’t know why i’m not losing

weight i’m like well then you don’t

understand how carbs work and with

insulin so it’s really um that’s why the

education

works and more knowledge about this

topic um especially

um

on the and the answer of the hormone

that we’re going to talk about next

let’s go to new york and bring in gula

who has been waiting patiently and gula

if you’re unmuted you’re on with dr byrd

try that again you’re still muted dear

hi dr berg nice to see you hello

so i’m

54 years old

i’m

5

feet

and 43 pounds

so i’m not only kiddo

but my question is uh

four times a year i’m doing uh long-term

fasting

like uh seven days 14 or 21 days

so my question is um

do you have to take vitamins and

supplements when you’re fasting

and which

if you have to

that’s a really really good question

because it all depends on your diet

between the fasting if you’re eating

really nutrient dense foods and you’re

not eating any food that could be

depleting you then maybe you don’t need

those vitamins because your body

gets really conservative when you do

fasting it starts holding on to these

nutrients you don’t need

nearly nearly as much but on the flip

side

the biggest complication of fasting

where people can have heart problems and

this and that is when they’re

they’re

lacking

electrolytes

and that includes sea salt too like salt

so

i would recommend

doing supplements just to make sure

the heart has everything it needs

electrolytes the b vitamins because it’s

not going to knock you or inhibit the

results of fasting

but it can

prevent other problems especially when

doing a longer term fasting which i

really admire you doing that 21 day fast

because the health benefits from that

are magical

i forgot to tell you uh when i’m fasting

i’m taking not water

but

it’s

17 herbs

and

[Music]

i don’t know how it’s called in english

when you put hot water in 17 hertz

so um

i drink every hour

one glass of water

it’s a 13

glass of water every day and in one

glass it’s

i put

one

teaspoon of

honey and one teaspoon of lemon juice

well that’s i think that might be a

challenge a problem because you’re

adding in

that

sugary substance which

is going to definitely keep you from

experiencing the full benefits of your

fast because the autophagy is not going

to happen as much you’re not going to

trigger certain genes

and by adding that honey

i think if you were to eliminate the

honey

you would probably

see massive improvements

on your ability to fast because

um

it’s going to cause your body to kind of

not fully adapt

unfortunately especially if you’re doing

it all day long all these all this honey

drinking this water so um

the other thing too when you’re drinking

uh

13 glasses of water which i’m not

opposed to at all

and you’re not taking electrolytes or

even sea salt you’re diluting

a lot of your fluid your body fluid so

you may find that you have some

complications from that but just adding

electrolytes in the sea salt and mix the

honey and i think you’re going to be

doing really good shape

well gula thanks so much for that and i

hope that helps you we’re fighting the

clock here a little bit and we have left

poor laura rotting in the green room for

almost the entire time and i’m uh

feeling awful about that but she’s still

smiling and she is uh

laura you’re on with dr burke

hi dr berg i love your videos

um i’ve been on this healthy keto

journey

since april 4th

um two meals a day right off the bat

um

stalled completely

i’ve only lost seven pounds but i’ve

measured myself and i’ve lost over three

inches off my stomach area

so

something’s working it’s just psyche

for my

that i’ve only lost seven pounds yeah

okay um

first thing to know is that um

if there was any fat on your liver and

the way you would know is if there’s fat

in your gut um

then that’s going to be the primary

focus first before it shows up in weight

loss

you also will be getting

improvements in

protein including your muscle as well

and so you may find that

you’re getting leaner

and you’re losing fat so you’re losing

inches but not weight because of this

transition into more

healthier protein

structure in your body

so i think you’re on the right track if

we want to really speed it up

we want to kind of make insulin more

sensitive how do we do that we go to one

meal a day oh man

i think and then have a don’t don’t

restrict the calories have a big meal

that would be very beneficial we also

can add an exercise we can also go to

bed a little earlier and sleep in a

little bit more and possibly take a nap

there’s just all these things that you

can do to

speed things up

[Music]

the other one is just to do a really

hardcore workout maybe twice a week but

not more than that

uh that will actually speed things up i

have a back issue

okay

then um

the other thing is to take a good amount

of vitamin d which will not only make

your insulin more sensitive

but it’ll probably reduce your

inflammation your back could

significantly too i would take 20 000

ius

um that has been my weak link for many

years yeah

what’s that

i take 10 now

10 what 10 000.

okay 10 pounds um

okay so um

you know i would beef it up and

there’s something else about vitamin d

it’s really hard to absorb vitamin d

and some people have actually it’s quite

common they have what’s called the

polymorphism vitamin d receptor and so

they even though they’re taking vitamin

d it just doesn’t go in i i’ve met

personally several people that had that

problem and

they were taking a good amount of

vitamin e they had to step it up a lot

more to create the effect that they

wanted and then everything worked their

sleep was better

their mood was amazing

um

but then the back pain that’s that’s the

clue the other thing with back pain um

you really want to get uh

an arch a back support like this

keep it in all your chairs keep your

back curve

arched in

when you’re sitting

and then at night before you go to bed

lay on it

for a good 15 to 20 minutes and

just to keep the curb in

that’s something that i found is like so

simple and

it can really help your lower back

okay thank you you’re welcome great

thanks for being so patient laura just

the the best one yet save for the end

and doc uh the also the best question

was saved for the end which is which

hormone most influences the overall

health of your body

and our uh crack shot audience 75

percent say it’s insulin 15 say it’s

cortisol and 10 percent say vitamin d

okay it’s uh insulin

hands down

insulin is connected to more

uh problems with your health if it’s too

high and more

benefits with your health if you’re

keeping it low

insulin apparently is a dominating

hormone and because it’s connected with

survival and it’s connected with eating

and it’s a fat uh storing hormone

and the majority of the population

has insulin resistance

and so when you start to bring that

insulin down

you have more improvements with your

body than any other hormone

i mean

if anyone disagrees with me go ahead in

the comments put

write type the hormone that you think

does more for your body than

insulin in a positive negative way

so

i will release that video

this week on how to balance that hormone

and others as well

but um and

even like if insulin is too high you’ll

start making more android if you’re a

female you’ll make more androgens and

you’ll start getting something called

polycystic ovarian syndrome

so um

insulin is behind

just the majority of health problems

that people have

not just in the us in the world all

right well the trend is emerging it

appears that 75 of our audience is very

smart and i’m not going to suggest

anything the rest maybe they’re having

too many carbs or something but we’re

going to give them a chance to redeem

themselves

next week but why don’t we end on a very

positive note we’ve been having a lot of

that today james from youtube i retired

this april at the age of 69 with

diabetes sugar was 190 to 200 range i

weighed 235 excuse me 235 now my sugar’s

at 84 and my weight is down to 214.

thank you thank you for your information

dr berg so it’s helping

wow

that’s fantastic i’m just love to hear

these amazing successes and

i’m getting videos of success stories

now as well and it’s just

amazing to watch these and hear the

results and i

you know people always want to know well

how do i fix this or how do i fix that

well are you on the basic diet yet no

okay get on it and then let’s revisit

that question and you’re gonna find that

it’s

most these problems come down to the

basics and there’s a

question is how do you do it it’s right

on my site if you look under the blog

watch the first video the second video

and i also have a download of what you

should eat

because we want everyone to at least

experience this so

you can at least

be a personal guinea pig

to test it out for yourself

so rather than

you know

rely on any type of other experiences

just you yourself try it out and i think

you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the

massive benefits

and on that note steve i want to just

um

have uh everyone hopefully everyone has

a great weekend and uh

stay tuned next week for some really

i think i’m

spend even more time

as time goes on i’m just kind of coming

up with uh

more interesting videos that i think

will help you and so and then we’ll see

you in the q a next week so have a

wonderful

week
