all right welcome back everyone

we’re here for your questions if you

have questions uh there should be a

number down below to call

um or actually just ask them on social

media

anything that i say is definitely not

intended to

cure your diseases so i can’t

legally cure you so just check with your

doctor before

taking any of the advice

that we’re going to suggest

all right steve let’s just dive right in

we have quite a few

people in the lineup we sure do and

kicking it off is amy from oregon and

she’s currently unmuting herself and

here is her fascinating question for you

you’re on with dr burr gaming

good morning dr berg it’s an honor

good morning

my question is if there is something i

can do to stop my aversion to meat

and my lifelong

allergy to eggs

yeah um the first thing i would do

is i would work on your stomach acids

because

uh you could

need to build up your hydrochloric acid

and that could be why your body’s like

no no thank you

um yeah so like betaine hydrochloride

and you know you the betaine on the

chloride you’d need a lot more than you

think so uh sometimes people take like

one or two but actually you need like

five or six per meal and start to build

it up and it does take some time

so that’s one thing that might help you

the other thing with the eggs is to try

duck eggs i don’t know if you’ve tried

that yet

um but they’re uh

they’re quite delicious and usually

people can do duck eggs if they have an

allergy to chicken eggs and then the

other thing is that

i’m really curious if you ever tried

um some real healthy

eggs from a farm that like we have like

that you actually

they don’t have any of this garbage and

i wonder if you would be

allergic or not that would be

interesting

right definitely tried that and i tried

a year of

um

ox bile

you know all the things about the

digestion which are very important

um and so far so i haven’t tried

everything that’s why i’m here

because my issue is not what a lot of

people is i don’t need to lose weight i

need to actually gain weight

and build more muscle because i’m not

getting the nutrients that i would like

to get

right good point um

well um in the meantime you know you

could do the fish just seafood um

the other thing too if you do no you

don’t like that

no

it doesn’t it’s the same

something in the proteins

i’m not being able to break down and

digest

it doesn’t stay down

yeah it’s stomach acids yeah there’s

something stomach acids uh the other

thing is um

possibly probiotics possibly i don’t i

don’t

i do have autoimmune which is what a lot

of people suffer on so i’ve always

thought that that might be an issue as

well

hashimoto’s is my beast

okay

yeah okay

interesting

um

one more thing in the meantime if you’re

not able to consume some of these

proteins it’s

um there’s a really good um

product it’s a keto aminos which uh um

that way you don’t have to even

break anything down it’s it’s a very

interesting unique blend

that um instead of um

most amino acid blends you’re wasting

like the great majority because it turns

into sugar this one right um

you’re utilizing 99 of it so it’s a

there’s a whole patent that was

i private labeled it but there’s a whole

patent on it that is fascinating because

this blend is used by athletes to

get all the the basic building blocks

that you need and it kind of goes in

like a rocket ship because you don’t

have to break it down

that’s one thing especially if you’re

trying to build muscle

and you can’t really do yes these other

proteins especially eggs

right

okay that’s another thing perfect thank

you so much you’re welcome try that out

let us know

that’s great now tell you what amy if

you need to gain weight you just hang

around me for a week or two and i

guarantee you’ll pack it on

so good luck on that right uh and also

uh as a bonus for your great

we’re going to put out our first quiz

question and dr berg would you read that

for us

okay what is the most

common symptom of dehydration

that’s the first symptom i mean that’s

the first question

all right that’s great so climb on that

audience we got some great interesting

questions today i can’t wait to hear

uh the answer to many of them and let’s

see let’s go to

uh social media in just a moment please

we got tons of people on there oh in

fact why don’t we talk about where tons

of people are coming from

see if i’ve got that from terry yet

not yet well the heck with it how about

we start with rachel from scotland on

youtube i was a vegan

uh on raw food for years and now finding

it difficult to transition to keto boy

that’s like amy

i am a mother of three teen girls should

they transition as well what can you do

for that family

yeah just because

it’s a lot more difficult to get all the

key nutrients um especially the forms of

nutrients that you need uh like when

you’re vegan you have all like the pre

vitamin a

that has to be converted

and you don’t have the actual retinol

and then you have the b12 and then you

have the pre-omega-3

uh fatty acids so you don’t have the

actual dha unless unless you really know

what you’re doing and you take algae and

things like that so it’s more difficult

um also even like zinc for example the

the best source of zinc

um is not from vegetables it’s from uh

um

red meat

uh so

in other animal products so you

honestly i think it’s you should make

the transition and

do what you can do a little bit you know

hopefully you’re not allergic to eggs

like amy

because eggs are just such a

good source of protein

but there are other sources so

there has to be something that you can

you can do um but especially with the

kids you know um

the key is especially as a child

develops they need all these key

nutrients

especially like the fat soluble vitamins

that sometimes you don’t necessarily get

if you’re

not doing animal products so

that being said the answer would be yes

wonderful i’m sure this is this person’s

real name desert love from youtube what

is the best probiotic to take if you

have ulcer

ulcerative colitis i butchered that

rachel from scotland on you oh i’m sorry

that’s the question so what can they do

what’s probiotic yeah of course um you

know i’m completely unbiased of my own

probiotic

but i would recommend my own probiotic

because it’s a liquid it passes through

the gut lining without being destroyed

it’s a very interesting combination

of not just friendly bacteria but

friendly yeast as well

and

it it works i i love it um

so that’s one that would help you

because

there’s inflammation right in your gut

and one of the one of the purposes of

good microbes is to reduce inflammation

and if you take a look at someone that

has chronic inflammation it usually

stems from antibiotics which destroy the

flora

so

you know just like um

like a baby

an infant that’s

um

when they come out they don’t have

that good bacteria initially so

um they’re inoculated with

colostrum from breast milk

and also from the microbes from the

mother

so if you have a child that’s not

breastfed that is given a c-section

they don’t have that flora

and they don’t they don’t have that

the good bacteria so it’s kind of like

even growing trying to grow a plant with

a seed on sterile

like um i don’t know coconut filter

without

putting the good inoculation of good

bacteria in there to start out you’ll

notice that plant doesn’t survive as

well same thing with humans so we need

this flora and if we don’t have it we

get inflammation and we get all sorts of

um

irritable bowel syndromes and

so yeah the microbes are vital

all right

latasha from youtube what should i do

for pain in my legs and feet from edema

ouch

well i would if you’re having an edema

chances are there might be possibly

um too many carbs in your diet because

um you know the my

answer to all these things is are you

doing the standard version of keto um

if you are i highly doubt you’re going

to have this edema in your legs so so

once you do that first and i bet you

that will solve it and um and the

healthy version of it so you’re having

enough potassium to drive out this fluid

um

so

that’s what you need to start with uh if

you want to know more information if you

just go to drburg.com and right on the

front page if you scroll down

i even you can just download the diet

right there and explains what to do

you don’t have to buy anything just

download the diet start

and uh get the results that’s right call

prevention right don’t fix a problem um

keep it from happening

uh and it was no problem avoidance how

about that there you go because i think

it’s even also nowadays illegal to

prevent something so

we can legally avoid it

good point avoid a disease i like that

keep that in mind i do

who wants a disease all right well the

audience was right on it with quiz

question number one which asked

what is the most common symptom

of the dreaded

dehydration

and 45 say

darker urine 30 say dry mouth

and 20 percent

say constipation and the five last five

percent say headaches

are they on to something doc wow

uh well the number one is the fatigue

actually you get tired oh audience

yep

so um

that is the uh

one of the symptoms i mean take it take

a

just think about this um

when you start keto

and you lose all this fluid right

and you lose your electrolytes um what

mineral

causes

um

like a weakness or fatigue like a loss

of one mineral which would be sodium

so having that

that balance of fluids

uh very very important

for to keep you strong

and to have energy

so

um when you’re dehydrated you don’t have

also the electrolytes too so it’s not

just the lack of water

and so these things these lack of

electrolytes can give you

fatigue both potassium and sodium

interesting okay that’s why we have

gatorade right steve you bet you know

when i was in high school i didn’t play

football

uh i heard another call but the ones

that did the coach would give them salt

pills and i don’t know you know to

which somehow remedied something or

prevented something is that still in

vogue or do people say you’re going to

have a heart attack yeah totally you

want to do sea salt pills but i mean if

you’re a

football practice or you’re sweating a

lot or a soccer practice and you

sweating and you’re not taking

electrolytes

try to maintain a high level of energy

good luck it’s not going to happen

you’re going to be tired you’re going to

feel weak

what you need is some salt

wonderful gary from facebook what is the

effect of coffee on your adrenals

well

too much of it

uh will stimulate cortisol

and cortisol will then keep you from

sleeping so you’re going to be tired the

next day um like if you drink a lot of

it and of course

i stick with like one

one small little cup i should bring my

little cup in there it’s like it’s just

a tea cup i’ll drink that and i’m good

but

i used to drink a lot more a couple pots

a day and that’s literally what

contributed to my burnt out adrenals

because the constant stimulation

you know you know it’s interesting

because people drink coffee to stay

awake

um but it ends up making them asleep

during the day

because then all of a sudden you need

more and more to create the same effect

to the point where you’re always kind of

you’re tired and you’re you just don’t

have the energy and you’re not sleeping

so it really has a rebound effect so

then we have to transition to something

like red bull

to really create the effect

yeah that’s tough um so and i love

coffee by the way how does tea like iced

tea stack up against in terms of

caffeine or whatever it’s better because

it has less caffeine

so um

yeah um

i mean you could do naturally

decaffeinated that’s really good as well

there’s some great um phytonutrients and

teas that can help you in all sorts of

ways from stress relief to blood sugars

to um

helping you lose weight because it makes

insulin more sensitive so just did a

video on that um

if you’ve been tracking with my videos

wonderful okay let’s see how astute the

audience is on this now we’ll i want to

tease them but there was a hundred

percent failure in the first question

let’s give them another chance go ahead

and read this doc

all right so

why should you never drink

seawater if you get stranded

at sea

yeah you’re you know you ran on water

and you’re in this boat and um

nothing no no help in sight

should you drink a little seawater or

not that’s the question or actually this

is true or false right

no that’s the the question

let’s bring it up again just to clarify

uh yeah why should you never drink salt

water if you get a stranded disease okay

so it’s just an answer yeah that’s right

so why shouldn’t you okay and if your

mother-in-law is on board how can you

encourage her to drink salt uh see

seawater

separately steve you’re gonna get some

you’re gonna

you’re gonna get some comments on that

oh well many many agree all right now

listen no actually i love my

mother-in-law it’s all fine but i

digress okay let’s uh let’s go back to

another question here

shabazz from facebook how can i reduce

uric acid naturally sounds like gout

well the one thing you could do is you

can um realize that the ph of the urine

if you bring up

the ph to make it a little bit more

alkaline

then those uh then you’ll have less gout

symptoms so how do you do that well

you can consume more

vegetables

or electrolyte called potassium citrate

and

lemons believe it or not will help

to the gout symptoms but really what

we’re dealing with is we’re dealing with

a lot of purines and so you got purines

in like

organ meats

if you’re doing too much protein animal

protein and you’re doing maybe

chocolate

so there’s certain triggers

um

so that’s i would work on your ph and uh

um

and then watch my video on gout there

are there are certain remedies that you

can do like celery seed

extract um things like that

wonderful okay well you know we have

this interesting green room lineup we’ve

got samir from saudi arabia we’ve got

israel we have got um

moody from south africa and we’re not

going to put you guys on the air yet but

i just wanted to say to indicate that we

have worldwide interest in your show and

here’s the rest of them we’ve got people

coming in from the uk canada thailand

france south africa morocco india

germany pakistan israel we said belgium

denmark algeria

kazakhstan puerto rico mexico norway

taiwan oops my thing slipped trinidad

chile czech republic egypt we have saudi

arabia which i guess is somewhat close

to all that zambia sweden switzerland

peru and all across the united states so

thanks everybody around the world for

your patronage on the show and all you

folks waiting uh patiently in the green

room for us and let’s see um

adrianzi what a name from facebook sorry

didn’t mean to tease you like that i

have no thyroid or gallbladder and i’m

entering menopause ouch should i still

do the same keto and iaf as everyone

else

well yeah i would recommend that you do

this same with a little tweak um realize

that uh

you know even if you don’t have a

thyroid you can still exist fine

with taking your thyroid hormones

as long as you get them adjusted quite

right

but as far as without a gallbladder then

you may benefit from a gallbladder

formula

which will actually help you aid in the

digestions of fat because what’s going

to happen now you don’t have that

concentrated

effect and so now we’re going to have

less bile less digestion

of the vitamin a

e

d

k 1 k 2 omega 3 fatty acids

so now we have to be aware that you

might be deficient in some of those and

you’ll be driving at night and trying to

see in the dark and you can’t quite see

and what’s the vitamin a deficiency so

you can be eating foods with vitamin a

and these other vitamins but they just

won’t be absorbed so you might want to

add the bile salts

i would recommend the gallbladder

formula with the meal

to help you extract

the nutrients because now

you just have a little tube without the

gallbladder that just trickles bile this

trickles down but not in a concentrated

amount

so that’s what i would recommend

all right very good well i recommend we

get the answers to the second question

and as we all recall the poor audience

struck out on the first one and it asked

why should you never drink seawater if

you’re stranded at sea and they put

everything on black a hundred percent of

them

responded say will actually cause

dehydration because of the high salt

levels they are correct this time

because what happens um

is you’re doing this

concentrated salt

and you are literally

pulling any and all water

out of your system

and your

your kidneys

can’t help but get rid of the salt and

the little bit of water you have left so

basically you accelerate the death

process you accelerate your

dehydration problem so

i know the temptation is going to be

there steve to just drink that water but

that would be a huge mistake because

you’re not going to last as long if you

just don’t drink anything

wow there’s a there’s something called

dry fasting where you’re not drinking

any water

um and believe it or not

uh your body does have

somewhat of an ability to make water out

of your fat

um

so

some people have lived

more than three days without

water

just fyi

wow

okay well listen from across the world

we’ve got samir from saudi arabia

and he also is a

resident of ottawa poor guy’s flying all

over the world constantly and samir

you’re wrong with dr burr

hi dr berg it’s a pleasure to meet you

thank you and thank you so much for all

the great work that you’ve been doing

it’s benefiting everyone

so my question is a cholesterol question

just to give you a bit of a background i

just completed my 12 weeks of keto

and it was a mostly positive experience

i did have

a little bit of nausea and a little bit

of weakness here and there

but apart from that it was it was good

and i feel better than i did before i

lost 20 pounds

so my question is

i went i got my blood works and i was a

bit alarmed

i’ve just to give you a background i

have seen your videos on cholesterol so

i was expecting a bit of a spike

but my triglyceride levels they almost

went up by 70

and my white blood cells they dropped my

red blood cells went up

mpv went up as well the only thing which

kind of improved was my sugar the hpa1c

that dropped

by about 0.3

so i was wondering because i

did a quite a standard diet i was eating

eggs in the morning

i was having a little bit of butter and

i was having salmon at least three to

four days a week for lunch and i was

eating meat in the evening and some

vegetables so the triglyceride part

threw me off that how did they go up so

much

well um

honestly i i think um think about this

you you’ve lost weight you’re still

you’re burning fat you have all these

other great things

do you know what fat is made out of

mostly

triglycerides yes

so naturally those fats have to come out

they have to come out

of your body and they can they go

through the liver and they can end up in

because if you’re not utilizing all this

energy if you’re not exercising with all

this this new energy that’s coming out

and using up all this fat then it has to

come out through the system

and

and i think this is a transition period

for you

i would highly recommend you get an

advanced lipid profile if it concerns

you and you could look at

look at the the

indicators of um the ldl the different

particle sizes of ldl and i’ve done

videos on this um

but i

i i do not think it’s a thing that could

be concerned um

ivor cummins um you should watch his

videos and even you can reach out and

contact him and if you’re concerned and

maybe even consult with him and he can

go through your numbers and help you do

a deep dive

um

like he has his sorry who did he mention

ivor cummins

yeah he’s a really knowledgeable guy and

cholesterol he’s done he’s done youtube

videos and he spoke at

both of my uh summits

flew him out and the guy is a

um

he’s a biochemical engineer so he knows

a lot about biochemistry like he

inside it out he’s done a thorough

study on it and uh he can give you a

little bit additional data i think

what’s way more important than this test

that you just had done is to get a cac

which is a

calcium

or a coronary artery calcium test just

to see if your arteries are calcified

but i think really what’s happening is

you’re just

fat is going through the system

triglycerides is going through

i bet you

if you started exercising more

give it a couple weeks and then retest

and see what happens the other thing too

did you fast before this test

yes

about 12 13 hours

yeah and so think about what happens

when you’re fasting you’re you’re into

some serious fat burning

it’s coming right out so i think um

i wouldn’t be concerned i would also

retest it maybe in another couple weeks

and add more exercise and then also

you can also add

the the gallbladder formula the bile

salts to help

break up some of the um the fats

if there is still some fat in your liver

that could be

an issue um that’s what you can do about

it

a really good profile

sorry to interrupt you yeah i am taking

the gallbladder formula just a question

there

should i be taking the gallbladder

formula after the meal and i’m also

taking your advanced digestive formula

so how do i combine these two

yeah you want to take

you always want to take the gallbladder

formula after the meal

and you want to take the digestive

the advance digestion before the meal

that way um

we have the because if you take the

bowel sauce before the meal you’ll have

tendency to dilute the stomach acids

because it’s alkaline

so i would just take that one after

okay

and i can take up to one two three

there’s no uh

restriction on that not a problem okay

thank you so much you’re welcome thank

you samir safe flying

uh doc by the way if you want to go to

your auxiliary camera your battery just

bombed out and okay so let me um that’s

right we’re going to put up a very

festive sign in the meantime

and i tell you what doc while you’re

working that out i’m going to

go to another question

and terang from youtube how long does it

take for

b12 uh to levels to drop to normal level

if i uh stop supplementation so she

quits taking vitamins how long before

she goes back to the dreadful normal

um i don’t know i i think it um

could take uh

two to three weeks i would imagine

um yeah but i’m not sure a hundred

percent so

and you’re gonna have to test the waters

and find out interesting all right well

um i’ve been chowing down on nutritional

yeast so i’m not about to find out when

it drops because i ain’t quitting

let’s see nubian queen i’m sure that’s

her name do you have a hormonal package

available i’m taking estrogen with dim

right now but still having hot flashes

i would take my seat help and i would

also take the uh cruciferous

um

those two are really good and and

i think that will handle it but for some

weird reason it doesn’t

then add in some

vitamin e you can just get that get the

tocatrinos because sometimes you need

some vitamin e the pituitary after

menopause

tends to

be go deficient in vitamin e because you

need that vitamin d to help with the sex

hormones as the hormones go down to the

gonads so

if you’re not

having babies anymore that tends to dry

up and then you need and then your

vitamin e dries up so and then the hot

flashes can kick in there so vitamin e

is another

thing that i use as the last resort so

don’t forget about that

all right terrific and let’s see here

oh mary from youtube wants to know if

sprouted grain bread

is okay on keto

is it non-gmo gmo organic the way she

puts it

it’s not okay because it’s a grain

um

yeah it’s probably non-gmo

but we’re going to be talking about that

in one of the questions so i don’t want

to give that away but um yeah it’s not

part of the keto plan

um so

i am looking at

um

having a list kind of a doctor approved

dr berg approved

keto foods on my website

because i’m finding

even these keto certifications that it’s

not they’re they’re just allowing all

sorts of

things into the um

into the uh

into your diet that shouldn’t be there

so i’m going to

work on that so stay tuned for that

it’ll be on the website so that way you

can kind of see what’s

good on keto and what’s not good on keto

to make it really simple all right good

well speaking of gmo and so on here’s

our next question

okay

does the term non-gmo

mean the same as gmo free

all right dig into that audience

and let’s uh i tell why don’t we go uh

back to our green room and we’ve got

nancy uh her camera isn’t uh working for

us but uh she is has a question for you

so nancy go ahead with dr berg with your

question

thank you

dr berg thank you very much for all the

help you’ve given me already i’m seeing

results already after a month

however i am the thyroid body type and

i’m keeping my carbs under 20 grams a

day

because of that so i can have weight

loss but i’m still getting the sweet

cravings i’m sticking to keto desserts

but it’s still the cravings are still

there and i immediately go to sleep

afterwards

okay how many meals a day do you have

two i’m doing the intermittent fasting

and i eat about two in about seven

um okay so you have cravings but what

about your actual hunger

no i don’t get hungry until like two or

three

okay

do you ever eat when you’re not hungry

or do you kind of follow

when you’re hungry you eat

yes

okay

yeah i think um

i think what’s happening right now is

that

i would

honestly start working on

adding just a little more fat to your

diet

and going for that omad one meal a day

because i think you just need a you need

more time for your body to really adapt

to that fat to the point where those

ketones are

really satisfying any cravings at all

the problem with the even the keto

treats even though they’re better

is that some of them especially if

you’re buying them

or they can they can affect the blood

sugars what’s that i’m making all my own

okay

i make everything from scratch

okay good um how long you’ve been doing

this for

a month okay you know what

i don’t think this is abnormal i think

you just need to ride the wave it’s

going to get better with time but

what you can do is you can um just

try like heck to go one meal a day

and i bet you anything that will just be

the huge difference that you that’ll

make them

that will make everything work um you

know a month

sometimes it takes

actually three months to really get

make a dent into insulin resistance

especially if you have your whole life

of

not being

in keto and so i think this is not a bad

uh it’s not an abnormal thing

give it more time try to shoot for one

meal a day and realize that the magic

will happen

a little bit more when you fast and then

also

as you go closer to the three-month mark

that’s when like your body’s really

finally adapted but

um that’s what i would

recommend now should i do that one meal

a day over a time period like

within an hour or two hours or

yeah try to do it within an hour that

would be great um and don’t be

don’t try to restrict the amount of food

that you eat like really have a a decent

large meal um

with enough fat

your meals and your you eat a lot more

than i do

i know i hear you so maybe you spread it

out for uh you know a couple hours at

first so you can ease into this but um

i’m telling you like

anyone over the age of 45 should be

doing should really strive to do

um one meal a day just because they they

need it especially if the thyroid is

involved the metabolism is slow um

they’ll get some results with two two

meals but they’ll get the magic will

happen with one meal

okay i’ll work on that over the next

month thank you all right awesome thanks

nancy thanks so much nancy

and let’s see uh we have answers to quiz

question number three

which asked does the term non-gmo mean

the same as gmo free

and our audience ninety percent of them

said no and ten percent said yes it does

what say you doctor

well the majority is correct because if

you ever look at uh the label on the

non-gmo

it will usually say

non-gmo

verified project

now what is verified project it’s

basically

it’s a project that goes through a whole

list of things that

um they check for

um it doesn’t mean it’s organic

it just means that there’s a potential

for

non-gmo foods but it could still have

gmos in there because it’s a project

it’s not non-gmo and uh unfortunately

it’s a it’s a what’s a non-profit

independent organization

um

and so you could still have like what’s

the damage of gmo foods is it the gmo is

it the genetically modified organism or

is it the pesticides they spray on it or

the herbicides glyphosate

glyphosate that’s the problem with gmo

because

they make these foods resistance

resistant to this thing but then they

can spray more of it so

just because something is gmo free does

not mean

it’s glyphosate free

so it’s a it’s a step up

but it’s this doesn’t tell you

it’s really free of gmos

wow

all right well let’s see here i’m sorry

i’m sorry to

tell you that steve but i had to get it

out i know well i suspected my double

cheeseburger was not gmo free so it

confirms that sure anyway tanzila from

youtube uh and boy amy’s onto something

today i’m allergic to all kinds of fish

can you recommend a vegetarian source of

omega-3s in supplement form

yeah yeah there’s um there’s all sorts

of um algae that you can get

that that will give you the omega-3 dha

so you just look for the supplements uh

that are a vegan source uh

um and you’ll you’ll find them all over

the place so that’ll help you with your

your dha which is a um

omega-3 fatty acid

wonderful well i’ll tell you what um

gratitude abounds in the dr uh berg

world uh here tim and sheila from

facebook said they’ve been battling

sugar addiction for 20 years blood sugar

is now 84. this is life-saving thank you

dr berg so

there you have it and you didn’t

give any advice right you didn’t do

anything bad

what happens when the when you do keto

and intermittent fasting is that your

you’ll notice your blood sugars start

coming down into the lower range and

sometimes people get concerned like it’s

60

and they’re concerned but they have they

feel great

i would not worry about that because

think about you’re not eating sugar so

your amount of sugar in your blood is

going to be less

so um

it’s only when you feel bad like when i

did the uh the colon cleanse with

bernard jensen you do this week of colon

cleansing and

then what you do is you um

you don’t eat anything

but you’re taking these supplements

psyllium husk

powder with apple juice so we have this

apple juice through the day right

so you should never never do a fast with

juice or sugar because

you’ll never get into ketosis and you’ll

be literally tortured because you’re

going to have all the cravings

you’re going to be trying to

get run on this little bit of sugar

it’s literally

torture and so i dreamt about eating

pizza

24 7

from that week because i

didn’t even tell you to take sea salt

you know and then

um

boy did i carve out after that

wow

well gene from facebook wants to know

which source of vitamin e do you

recommend and importantly how much

should we take daily

well i don’t have a brand but i would

recommend trying to find tocotrinols

i like 300 milligrams per day um but the

tocotrienols

are a superior

um

type of vitamin e as part of the complex

code they’re they’re um they work 50

times stronger so might as well

get the ones that are really good and

especially

for the inside of the arteries for the

heart i mean it’s just a dynamite

remedy for that

all right terrific let’s see where the

heck are we why don’t we do another quiz

question for goodness sakes

okay and here you go doc

okay

how can

a synthetic antioxidant trigger cancer

so you buy all these

like even vitamin c

vitamin e

antioxidants that are made synthetically

if you look up on the research on it um

it’s been linked to getting cancer like

wait a second an antioxidant causing

cancer

how could that be why is that

interesting okay we have a veteran on

the show inez i always butcher her name

but she’s on with us this is her third

time and she’s going to demonstrate how

to ask one question in 30 seconds inez

you’re on with dr berg

hi thank you i appreciate having this

time dr berg my question rebates to sibo

and

chrome i forgot the other oh psoriasis

wow okay and your question is

how does it relate you mean

no no no i was waiting for your question

in relation to it so i um

i started your intermittent fasting last

july

and

did pretty well and hit a couple

plateaus but then

come

march

after i s

come march

[Music]

i started increasing my

greens to

four cups a day

and uh

by the end of march my kids were

complaining that my breath was really

bad so i looked it up

and i

watched a couple of your videos one on

bad breath and then the one on sibo and

it sounds like it’s sibo

so i started

the carnivore diet

and

my concern with the carnivore diet is

well i got psoriasis up here above my

eyebrow and

so i went and read on the psoriasis and

it has to do with

a balance take a vitamin d and a balance

between omega-3 and omega-6 correct me

if i’m wrong when i can

and so i

um

i think i’m getting this backwards

anyway

so now i

am vacillating or yo-yoing between

the sibo issue and the psoriasis and

acid reflux issue acid reflux issue

help

okay so let me just kind of give you

some my two cents on that

um

you’re stuck between a rock and a hard

place so we have to probably fix one

thing before the other i would i would

not focus on the um psoriasis

right off the bat even though it could

be related i would focus on the placebo

um

now the thing is with the sibo is that

we if you add too much fiber

into the gut or even a probiotic

then the microbes start eating that and

they start growing and bloating and the

whole thing so really

you’re left with

doing a lot of fasting

fasting

should be

your middle name you should be doing

regular intermittent fasting and a lot

of

prolonged fasting what’s what that’s

going to do it’s going to clear out your

whole

digestive piping

and allow for your your body to finally

heal

and um

i don’t think you can maybe get rid of

this without this fasting prolonged

fasting so there’s going to be some days

maybe once a week we go 48 hours and

maybe

every other week you do 72 and what

happens is now that starts to kind of

clear this thing out nicely

and um

uh you’re gonna have to do it for a few

months because it’s probably um it’s

it’s because you want to correct it the

other thing that um you may want to try

as you

do this for a while is to in

implement um sauerkraut

fermented just a little bit because

that is really good for the acid reflux

but just a little bit of the time to see

what you can tolerate but in the

meantime like carnivore is going to have

to be what you’re going to do as well

but you could do it like the eggs and

the fish

and then um

okay well then do it do what you can

do what you can and you’re going to have

to cope but i think you’re going to have

to focus

on the fasting okay

thank you so much for that question and

we’ll have to

um that’s all i can really give you

right now but let’s let’s go on to the

next

next uh do you have the answers for the

quiz questions i sure do and i know

thank you so much for coming back with

us and let’s move over to the question

number four

which asks how can a synthetic

antioxidant trigger cancer

and

stand by

the audience says

uh or at least 60 say synthetics mimic

hormones 30 say the chemicals in them

and 10 say they have petroleum

components

okay

so take a look at this right we have

what causes cancer cancer is damage to

the mitochondria

and um

so you have uh

like radiation

can act as a free radical and and create

damage so free radicals from smoking can

damage the mitochondrion

so what does a an antioxidant do

it donates one of its electrons

to this

to free radicals now free radicals are

they’re missing electrons so it’s an

unbalanced

um

kind of like if i’m going to spin these

plates on my finger right here

and then i put a weight on one side

it starts to not become balanced so

that’s kind of what you you could

envision and then a free radical would

be so

when you take a an antioxidant

it’s donating an electron

to neutralize the free radicals but then

it

becomes a free radical because now it

doesn’t have anything to balance it out

this is why in nature

and in your body you have networks of

antioxidants not some individual

antioxidant so when one

donates its electron it can then

borrow electron from someone else

and then when that becomes out of

balance it borrows from someone else so

they all tend to balance each other out

that’s really how it works so

don’t don’t buy antioxidants that are

synthetic

get it from food source or a food based

um

any antioxidant

i mean because

the synthetics that’s why just stay away

from synthetic vitamins in general that

that would be your best bet

all right good deal let’s see

uh wow this is something i tell you uh

amy has started a firestorm on social

media barbara wants to know i’m allergic

to seafood and grass-fed beef what

veggies can provide the most of most

proteins have we already covered that

yeah we talked we talked about that but

uh seek help

like

it’s really a problem if someone’s

allergic to iodine

because

um that really eliminates the sea kelp

and a lot of foods but um

let’s just talk about allergies in

general if you have an allergy um

you can eventually get rid of it by

doing enough fasting the problem with

amy is she’s not trying to lose weight

and so if she’s already thin and she

does long fasting prolonged fasting

that’s what you need

then it’s like i’m trying to gain weight

and i’m losing i’m getting too thin so

it’s definitely a

a problem to overcome but i will say

that there is a technique out there

you can search it out i used to do it in

my practice i don’t do it anymore but

it’s called n a e t

and there might be a local practitioner

that’s competent that you want to find

uh don’t get someone that’s just

starting out just practicing but um

someone that does it it’s called the

butcher pot allergy elimination

technique and it’s a it’s a technique

that someone can

perform to help you remove an allergy um

[Music]

you know that’s

you know the key is finding someone that

does it standardly like

like um

dr naboochipot teaches you and

it doesn’t kind of go off into something

[Music]

else so

it can help you i remember i worked on

someone who had an allergy to

eggs

and it helped them with that and also

someone that had a deadly allergy

they had um

like they went into shock if they

consumed um sesame seeds

and after i was done they were able to

eat a whole bag of sesame seeds so

you can there are things out there that

can help

wow sort of like a snake venom right

slowly get over it ben wu from facebook

can we have chickpeas or sprouted

chickpeas on keto

if you’re gonna do chickpeas don’t do a

lot of them um but you can if you add it

if you have it in a hummus you’re not

doing that much

and you have the oil in there and you

have the garlic in there and you have

actually olive oil instead of soy oil or

other oils like canola oil

and

and if you did that

i think that would not be a problem with

your blood sugars because of the oil

offsets it the same thing with if you

were to consume like egg yolk versus the

egg the whole egg

i’m sorry egg whites versus the whole

egg um when you eat the whole egg you

have less of an insulin spike so by

adding the fat in there you have less

uh

bad problems so

thus that’s why steve you can have more

ice cream because it’s fatty right oh

boy

absolutely i’m being very sarcastic

you don’t wanna you don’t wanna have

anything fatty with sugar okay no can’t

get away with it can’t have your cake

and eat it too okay here’s our last

quiz question this one’s a true false

okay true or false

city tap water will not affect your gut

microbiome

is that true audience dig into that

and i tell you what let’s go back to the

green room and all the way from south

africa we have uh uh moody moody are you

with us and go ahead with your question

for dr bird

hello can you hear me

yes

okay thank you i dr bed um i had a

question my mom’s thyroid was um

destroyed by that radioactive pill that

she took years ago

and she

had a lot of constipation i watched your

videos a lot of them and so

i

um

pulled her in

and she

she wanted to

order your bile salts but we couldn’t

you didn’t there wasn’t an option to

sell it to south africa

but

she ordered another one but it was the

same it’s the same ingredients mostly

and i just she just want to know if she

takes it um well

um

sorry i have to get my words straight

yeah my english is not that good

um

will she

have to take it for the rest of her life

or

will it um

solve the problem for constipation and

she she’s got really dry eyes and all

that kind of stuff yeah um

when you take bile salts it does help

lubricate the colon and um

you said she had her

thyroid removed or her gallbladder

removed

now the thyroid thyroid wasn’t removed

it was she took a pill that a

radioactive pill you know

yeah i don’t think she’s gonna

if you still she still has a gallbladder

and i would just after she works on the

liver

and gets the liver producing her own

bile it’s not a it’s not a for life

thing

um unless you don’t have a gallbladder

then it is but no i don’t think it’s

going to be a lifelong thing the other

thing

um

that

[Music]

i will be releasing video probably

tomorrow the next day related to your

mom’s problem so you have to stay tuned

for that but

um

the the cool thing about

bile salts or the gallbladder formula is

that

if someone has

hypothyroid

taking bio salts will help

the conversion

from the t4 to t3 so it really helps

activate and without enough bile salts

it’s harder to activate it that’s why if

you have a hyper thyroid and too much

hormone you don’t want to take bio salts

because you’re going to get too much

conversion so

a person with hypothyroid syndrome can

be greatly improved or helped with the

gallbladder formula

because of the conversion and if you

your thyroid has no function anymore

yeah well she’s probably still taking

that she’s taking thyroid hormones

correct yeah yeah yeah she does so she’s

taking t4

so yeah t4 is the inactive uh thyroid

hormone so how is it being converted

through the liver and through the kidney

so without that liver really working

that well in the bile being produced

then

she may not have the full conversion to

see the results with the thyroid so

that’s why the gallbladder

formula helps with that

okay thank you

moody thanks so much for coming to us

from beautiful south africa

and let’s see we have the answer

to the only true false question here

which uh asks city tap water uh will not

affect your gut biome and the audience

95 percent of them have said um that’s

false

and um yeah and and then the the last

straggler said that it was true what do

you say

yeah well think about what’s in tap

water you have

chlorine

what is the purpose of chlorine

to kill

microorganisms you have fluoride

kills microorganisms you have a lot of

other chemicals that

kill microorganisms this is why you

never want to put

city tap water on your garden

or your plants because it kills off the

microbes in the soil

so why would you put in your body so

you know i think what’s happening

this is my opinion is that

we’re people that are drinking tap water

without the filter

are basically kind of taking a mild

version of an antibiotic

and

it can it can affect the microbiome now

it’s going to happen to every single

person well now because depending on

where you live

there might not be the concentration but

i know where i live boy if you drink

straight tap water without the filter

boy does it

you know some people say well the

chlorine evaporates yeah but there’s

other chemicals chlorine-based chemicals

that can really uh

be a problem so

so anyway if you’re trying to work on

your gut

one way to do that is to get a filter or

get some well water or spring water

or artesian well water that’s what i

would do well congratulations audience

you really knocked him out of the park

there at the end and speaking of the end

we also have our final

participant and this is michael from

israel and we decided he was so handsome

that he gets to ask two questions so go

ahead uh michael you are on with dr bird

thank you hi dr birds such a great honor

uh i truly appreciate everything you’re

doing to the keto citizens of the world

so thank you for your guidance uh dr

berg i’ve been doing intermittent

fasting in keto uh on and off since 2019

i typically do a four 18-hour fasts a

week

during which i um exercise twice on a

fasted state it is truly my my secret

sauce if i exercise on a fasted state

the next day i usually tend to

lose weight

but i digress on the remaining days of

the week i eat three meals a day usually

carbs

out of which one of those days is my

cheat day or as i like to call it my

treat day where me and the guys get

together and we feast i’m talking

vikings after a raid kind of level you

know

beer splashing pizza slices everywhere

i scream the whole ordeal and assuming

my goal is longevity and optimal weight

how does that structure four days

sunday to wednesday i

do keto and intermittent fasting and

then

thursday is my cheat day and the next

two days i eat carbs how does that

affect my ketosis and what do you think

is the best way to switch it around

well i think the that’s a really good

question um because of course you

probably have read my book and noticed

that i don’t really have a cheat day in

that book but anyway um

what happens is if you have a whole day

that you’re cheating

think about how how long that will bump

you out of

your fat adaptation in your ketosis

you’re talking

at least

two three days so

let’s see there’s seven days in a week

and you have probably four days of

of benefit from this program four days

of benefit

it’s definitely

that’s good it’s better than

but maybe what you do

is you um

transition to a

one meal

on that one day just to lessen it

and maybe um

try to um like instead of beer have like

kombucha tea and some kind of keto

alternatives to try to get to that point

um

because

there you can achieve

incredible pleasure

from

doing uh

these foods that mimic

some of the junk foods

uh and there’s other foods that are like

very pleasurable i’ll give you an

example like um

more a smoked uh pork um shoulder now

some people don’t eat pork but i

smoke it for

16 hours

it’s probably the most pleasurable thing

i’ve ever eaten in my life it’s just so

tasty uh believe me i’m a pescatarian so

i don’t want to eat that but okay i see

what you’re saying you can probably do

beef

and uh you know make make spend some

time really making these recipes like

delicious savory foods that you can

really enjoy

because

i mean

like let’s say you’re tempted you want

to eat something really junky like a big

bag of chips or i don’t know ice cream

um

and then you eat that i mean i always

like to say well i always ask myself was

that was that really worth it was it

really

maybe it was maybe it wasn’t maybe

you’re like oh i’m not bloated i don’t

feel too good but you know what another

factor there’s some other factors here

that are

probably even just as important how much

health reserve you have

is your whole life have you been insulin

resistant like

i can’t afford that you might be able to

afford to do that because you have a

a huge health reserve that you’ve

um you really are eating nutrient dense

foods and you’re doing a lot of other

things too like you’re

the exercise you’re outside of nature

um

your stress level is low

um you have a good social structure

around you like all these other things

um add up too so it’s not just diet so

you just want to look at that and like

i can’t i can’t afford to do that myself

so

my diet has to be really

perfect

but there are some people that get away

with it because they have low stress

level their environment like there’s two

guys neighbors that are farmers that

help me out

do they eat healthy no but guess what

they’re doing physical work outside all

day

in the sun

that has probably helped them more than

anything survive and they’ll probably

live a long life

i see what you mean the balance i get

that thank you another question if i may

um i used to break my fast with nuts and

seeds and then an hour later i would eat

my big meal i recently

read and saw some videos of thomas de

laurie which i also admire very much

about first breaking the fast with lean

protein

and then an hour later eating my full

meal from your knowledge what is best

and i’ve seen you

also do videos on lemon juice and zinc

what is the best structure of breaking a

fast

okay so if we take the worst structure

that would be carbs so

definitely don’t want to do any carbs

breaking it fast because that’s going to

create some problems um

you think about what’s happening you you

put the uh

the digestive system into a sleep mode

and you got to wake it up slowly so

um

protein and and some fat maybe a little

salad just a little bit like the

quantity

and if you only fast it for 48 hours

then

yeah that you can do a small amount wait

an hour and eat a full meal but if

you’re doing 72

or let’s see you’re fasting for five

days or seven days

um i would not do a full meal probably

i would do small little things and i’d

done a video on this where you maybe

through the day and then the next day

you could start to have a little bit

bigger but

it really depends on how long you put

that uh

digestive system to sleep i made a

mistake of

fasting i think three days and i just

you know

i did not have a small meal i had a big

meal and here i am down chomping down

and i got in trouble really fast i found

that i will never do that again because

it’s like my whole body was like

freaking out so

experiment with it but

it really depends on other factors

i understand thank you

you’re welcome and i want to thank

everyone for being on i appreciate your

attention great questions

and thanks for all the wonderful

comments

stay tuned next week we’ll have another

show and uh

and also releasing videos every morning

[Music]

you
