now apparently keto now causes bone loss and  this is based on a study that was done which  

i’m going to cover a woman on my youtube channel  brought this up and she was a bit concerned if she  

should start keto because she’s going through  menopause and the last thing she needs is  

to lose her bones all right let’s go through  the actual study i’m going to put a link down  

below so you can read it as well there’s a  couple red flags about this study number one  

the study wasn’t done on random people it was done  on 30 world-class professional endurance athletes  

and it was only done for three weeks that’s the  time the study that they used to determine that  

keto causes bone loss of course the media is  going to pick this up and run with it now what  

do you have to realize with an athlete especially  a world-class athlete is that their bodies are  

usually carb burning machines they’re used to it  and if you’re going to adapt to the ketogenic diet  

and start oxidizing fat that’s going  to take a lot more than three weeks  

especially when you’re an athlete  if you take an average person who’s  

sedentary it might be three days but  when you’re actively pushing your body  

hardcore an endurance athlete is constantly  tapping out their glycogen reserve and if they  

don’t replace it they can literally pass out and  so the enzymes and the mechanism and the machinery  

of adapting to burning fat could take months  and on other studies which the long distance  

runners are doing keto it takes literally a year  or two of training until the point where their  

fat burning machines are oxidizing fat in fact  their bodies can burn three times as much fat  

than anyone else it’s quite incredible there’s  also two ultra marathon runners that i know one  

was at my summit and these guys run 100 miles and  both of them are keto i’ll put a link down below  

all right now in the study it showed impaired  bone modeling and remodeling but it didn’t show  

a loss of bone mineral density or strength okay  that’s a big difference so really the only thing  

that showed up was impaired bone modeling and  remodeling that does not mean osteoporosis that  

does not mean osteopenia but the biggest red flag  i think of the entire study is they didn’t include  

what the diet was was it really keto was it  dirty keto did they have enough vitamin k2 which  

builds bone did they have enough vitamin  d3 what about calcium or even vitamin c  

we don’t know because they didn’t list what they  ate and so the bill bone you need the combination  

of all those vitamins and minerals and you got to  keep your stress low and your hormones in check  

on the flip side i’m going to put a  link down below of a long-term study  

12 months performed on menopausal women which  indicated no effect on bone thanks for watching  

and you know if you see studies like this in the  news read them before you jump to any conclusions  

hey before you go real quick i have  a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course  i want you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s  

missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate  

and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put
