welcome back everyone we’re here for

another show q a

we have steve on the line and anything

that i say is definitely not meant to

replace your medical care check with

your doc before you

you know do any things that we talk

about and uh

and so

as we’re going through the show um

you know what i’ll be really curious

about if you could in the chat

type this question down this answer to

the question i want to find out how many

people are new to keto

and if or experience taquito so if you

could just

make a note in the chat i’ll be curious

what the answer is because i always i

never asked that question i wanted to

find out so that way i can tailor make

my answers

all right steve all right well i tell

you so let’s kick it off from social

media now rhonda is not uh exclaiming

that she they’re saying that she’s on

keto but

uh she is

fasting and here’s the earthy question

is is it normal to have loose watery

steels during a 48 hour fast

no

no it’s not normal and there’s obviously

probably something going on with your uh

your microbes that there’s some

imbalance and

you know

sometimes uh

if you actually do a first fast and uh

like you haven’t done it before

um what can happen is um

you know you’re like these microbes are

so used to getting fed

all of a sudden you don’t feed them and

there could be a problem so um

it’s not normal i think

what i would probably recommend is to

take a probiotic

that would be good

take something that survives the stomach

acid too that’s important

kefir is a good

natural probiotic as well

great her microbes are rebelling uh

debra from youtube what are your

thoughts about drinking ketones while on

keto diet yay or nay

so it’s an expensive way to do it i

think

the only reason i would do that is

if i had some type of dementia

or some

let’s say i seizures something like that

that i wanted to raise my a level of

ketones up or maybe i’m going to

exercise and get a little more energy

but typically like

there was a

guy that i just talked to recently that

was a type 1 diabetic

and his ketones went up to like a 5.5

which is pretty darn good and he was a

diabetic so

it really depends on where your ketones

are do you want to increase them i mean

it’s

it’s not going to help with weight loss

it might just

you know you’re already generating this

these ketones um i think it’d be kind of

an overkill to just take additional

ketones but

that being said you know ketones do help

the brain so you you could always

you know

get benefits from that and get more

energy

all right go for that laura from youtube

could you please do a video on

uh acidic choline did i say that right

terry was trying to find

thank you and function in the heart

okay

all right i just made a note of that

will do wonderful and let’s do one more

before we kick over to something else

helene from youtube i did watch your

video about cholesterol should i be

taking both niacin and tudka together

how many milligrams of tutka should i be

taking a day

well you know you only want to take that

if you there’s a concern if there’s a

problem um

but tutka is a bile salt and choline is

actually in the bile salts so you’re

taking something to kind of break things

up

you’ll get

lower readings you’ll get more digestion

break break above this cholesterol and

if you’re doing keto healthily with low

carbs okay and fasting there really

isn’t any need

for uh worrying about cholesterol

but it’s when you’re cheating or just

like you’re doing it sort of

correct or you’re

still eating carbs that’s when there’s a

problem with cholesterol

all right my guess is the audience

begging for a question so here’s the

first one

all right so

what test can determine

your longevity now i’m talking i’m not

talking about an expensive

lab test what’s a simple test that can

determine your longevity how long you’re

going to live

all right very good well we’ve got an

interesting

group in the green room and the first

one i think would be fascinating is a

husband and wife team that promised to

argue on the air and let’s see who wins

now i’m just kidding this is uh ariel

who i think is speaking on behalf of her

husband and ariel if you would unmute

yourself you and nathan are wrong with

dr byrd

hi how’s it going

great

go ahead with your questions

dr berg actually

oh i can hear you perfectly can you hear

me now

that’s interesting uh the rest of the

team there can you all hear dr byrd

a head shake if you can yeah the rest of

your uh cohorts can uh this might be or

can you do this see if you can speaking

over to me real quickly ariel and i’ll

uh sort of transcribe it verbally for

you

well why don’t you just uh you can ask

her she can answer the question and then

i can just you know answer it i mean she

just asked the question because you can

hear i’m sorry go ahead ariel so ask a

question please

all right yeah no um i i just can’t hear

dr berg’s uh response but uh anyways um

my question is

um

yeah sorry i’m just getting my camera

here um is that my husband has been

having a foot uh issue for the last like

10 years

um and he has gone on ken on the candida

diet

so during that period of time he did not

have the foot issue the foot issue is

that he gets cracked cracked heels an

itchy toe itchy bottom of the foot he

also gets peely skin as well too

um so we’ve been doing the keto healthy

keto for about

five uh no sorry three months now we’re

almost six months postpartum actually

um and um so obviously we’re not getting

a lot of sleep um but he’s been it the

foot skin been getting better

however um

uh it does have some flare-ups here and

there so we just wanted to

we did purchase your liver uh course

online which was great and and your

videos about the liver’s connection to

the foot has been great but we just

wanted to check in and just to see if

we’re on the right track and whatnot

yeah i think you are on the right track

um

the um

the problem is there’s probably some

residual overgrowth of candida going on

in the foot that’s tender it’s a perfect

environment with being moist and things

like that so

i’m glad you reduced sugar because

that’s ultimately going to correct it

but the dry

cracked skin is

the result of the microbes so tea tree

oil

mixed with

a coconut oil

applied topically

each night before i go to bed i think

would be the best remedy for him

so you might not be able to hear me

talking but you can re watch the

recording when um you know when we’re

done with this show today

well uh ariel i’m sorry for the

technical difficulty on you’re in there

or whatever but uh dr berg just gave you

uh a comment and also urged you to watch

the recording of the show on either

youtube or facebook and uh you’ll be

able to uh get his counsel which i think

was very sound so anyway i hope you and

uh awesome your husband have a blast

thanks for having us we really

appreciate it yeah and congratulations

on your burgeoning family there that’s

really fun

so

don’t worry you’ll get some sleep after

they’re about 16 to 18. uh until until

then yeah you know it’s gonna be a

full-time job

all right well thank you so much

and uh nathan and again watch the show

after the fact and um you will

be

uh updated on what uh is going on with

your uh itchy foot your husbands that

you foot so thanks for joining us and uh

the audience is always as quick with

their answers and the first question of

this show asked

what task can best determine your

longevity and the audience claims or at

least 90 percent of them say a cac test

five percent say a liver enzyme test and

five percent say a urine test

so so you know everyone is right on that

and csc is a really good predictor of

mortality for sure

but regarding longevity um

and

people that are

aging and getting to a point where

you know things are breaking down

there’s a

um a really good test

and that would be

so

seat to standing test just by getting

off your chair

and your grip strength because what

happens as

we age uh we start to lose muscle that’s

the real big thing and it’s called the

sarcopenia age-related muscle loss and

so one quick test is just to see how

fast you can get up from a seated

position or off the floor

so um

i might be

aging really fast because like it takes

me a long time to especially after this

last workout yesterday i could barely

get off the floor i can barely walk

actually

so um but if you didn’t work out just

getting up

quickly is an indication of

strong muscles and that means you don’t

have a problem with sarcopenia but

it’s a you know they just isolated that

as a good um

task to do it’s non-invasive and um

and then i’m gonna release a video on

what to do to kind of

prolong that process and what to do when

you have sarcopenia

so stay tuned for that video

doc for those of us who don’t know can

you tell us what a cac test is what does

that mean yeah it’s coronary artery

calcification

scan or a test or a score and then so

what they do is they just it’s a

relatively inexpensive test but they do

use the cat scan

and they look into the heart and look at

the coronary artery the main artery to

the heart and they’re looking for how

much calcium is in there there shouldn’t

be any calcium in there but if there is

um it’s kind of they’ve associated with

a with a good predictor for mortality

from all causes of death so the more

calcium you have

the less

you have that you can live so

um

it should be zero

but um you know it can go over a

thousand so

um it’s a good test to do and um

because if you have calcium in your

artery

i think it’s important to be aware of

that and so you could do something about

it i mean it’s going to create some more

urgency

to like

start working on it

very good well some might say nobody

listens to dr berg’s show oh yeah well

this morning we have people joining us

from the uk canada scotland egypt saudi

arabia belgium trinidad tobago greece

japan algeria cameroon australia france

germany mexico sweden taiwan the

netherlands

turkey the philippines macedonia india

norway nigeria hungary poland argentina

bermuda brazil switzerland panama

portugal iceland the united arab

emirates chile ghana south africa

pakistan iraq good to hear from you

folks new zealand italy peru bulgaria

iran

guyana

hong kong croatia spain jordan and of

course all across these united states

and i always blame terry for not

mentioning canada yet it was the second

up so plenty of people up north who are

also in our green room and they’re going

to be joining us shortly

wow steve i think

this is so great compared to especially

where i came from doing um i remember

doing video doing seminars at whole

foods for for many years until i got

kicked out and um

i

i asked him like why why am i getting

kicked out of doing seminars and they go

well

there’s been you know some people that

just really

never heard this information before and

they’re a little bit upset i said and i

find out it’s one person

that basically

complained because i told her something

she’d never heard before

so i thought maybe that would be a

reason why you’d want to go to a seminar

maybe you want to learn something but

so they kicked me out but then they let

me back in so i’m glad we have a captive

audience that

would like to learn new things so well

your comeback to that woman is how do

you like me now

of course that’s a

that’ll show her anyway let’s go back to

some more uh

great questions from

uh social media and this is ed from

youtube

poor guy why do i keep craving ice cream

after i’ve given up bread maybe he needs

to give up more

well you crave it because you keep

eating it um i know i was in that trap

um boy as soon as you do it once it’s

like the next day you want it again and

then you’re you’re in the trap so you’re

going to have to

use what’s called

discipline right steve

to restrain yourself long enough till

those cravings go away

but um

recently i i i’m trying something new

um

uh shifting not what i eat or the

pattern of what i eat but

when i eat i’m trying something i’m

taking that pattern of my first meal and

bringing it closer to breakfast now this

kind of opposed what i’ve been telling

people but you’re i’m still fasting for

20 hours but i’m eating earlier and i’m

just experimenting there’s some great

new information on how that can

improve results a little bit more

so it’s something you’ll have to stay

tuned to watch that video and see if you

want to try it out as well but again if

it’s working for you don’t don’t change

anything but um i’m finding that

it aligns with your circadian rhythms a

bit more by by shifting this pattern my

first meal is in the morning and the

second meal is like

you know two o’clock or one o’clock

depending on what i eat and then boom

i’m done

so um

it’s it’s interesting so stay tuned for

that video coming out next week sometime

well that’s interesting well ed i feel

for you and there are many of us out

here that do not

have the sort of intrinsic discipline

that many others do and all of us have

felt the pain for many years so you know

when i would try three freezer burned

lean cuisines per day for a healthy life

that lasted about 30 seconds couldn’t

stand that just i’d rather whatever

not be healthy but anyway this stuff the

dr berg it is now uh

11 a.m where i am and i have no desire

to eat whatsoever and about three

o’clock today i’ll have my first meal

and then i’ll eat you know heartily and

so on and i’m not perfect on the keto

stuff but my life has improved so much

so the great thing about

dr berg’s various approaches is it’s not

all or nothing is you continue to move

toward

uh you know a level of enjoyment of food

in a responsible way and you get

rewarded along the way which keeps

keeps you motivated so i feel better

emotionally i’m not tired all these

things and yet i’m not doing this thing

perfectly but i would never go all the

way back because i’m getting rewards

that never happened before and and

giving it up you’re a one meal a day

you’re doing omad one meal a day right

yeah and well over maybe an hour and a

half but yeah so i’ll have some cheese

and then i’ll have the main sort of meal

this that and the other and something

and you know there might be a little

carbohydrate in there i don’t want to

lie to you but that in toast so in an

hour and a half i consume what i’m going

to have and man i feel better

you know um so if someone’s on omad

which i i really i like that approach i

if you have that one meal

before three and maybe even at two

o’clock at the very latest um i think

you you may

experience better

benefits with insulin improving insulin

resistance and sleeping

versus later at night

something to consider

very good

uh back to uh i think this might oh this

is youtube again kathy from youtube

what’s the best indication that my h

pylori is gone blood work stool sample

or

breath test and if it’s not gone what’s

the best natural way to eliminate it

well

h pylori really is a

type of microbe that should not bother

us i mean it just kind of lives there

hangs out we most of us have it and

it just kind of

doesn’t irritate us

um so

really it’s not a matter of getting rid

of it it’s a matter of putting it into a

state where it’s it’s like friendly to

us it’s not unfriendly

so the symptoms that that will give you

would be something like an ulcer

uh gastritis inflammation uh maybe

those symptoms so if those symptoms go

away

chances are you’re good so you put it

right back in remission you you know

when there are

and

when your body changes and it gets

stressed out the some of the bad

good bacteria turn

bad on you some of the microbes that

have been neutral in this relationship

they don’t harm us they don’t hurt us

they start turning nasty so they’re

they’re called opportunistic they take

advantage of a situation they kind of

kick you when you’re down

because they um so unfortunately

probably happens in life the same way

but

i would just work on putting the acid

back in the stomach cleaning up the diet

and

if you have no symptoms

don’t worry about it

wonderful okay doc i have another

question and these are a couple of

acronyms is it fair for you to spell

that out i’ll leave that

to you or is that part of the quiz okay

so what is a better exercise

high intensity interval training or low

intensity

steady state and basically it’s we’re

comparing the high intensity interval

training to um something that’s like low

intensity moderate endurance like you’re

walking on a treadmill something like

that

what is uh better for you

okay

dig into that folks and why don’t we go

back to our green room and um

i’m watching their faces and joseph

seems to be the most patient of all of

them so with that comes rewards

uh joseph you’re on with dr berg

uh forget don’t forget to unmute

yourself sir

hi dr berg thank you for having me

um i’ve had health issues for a couple

years and about 10 months ago

i figured out it was

high levels of heavy metal metals and

chemicals

some new intermittent fasting keto

dsma activated charcoal sweating

but i’ve taken some tests during that

time leaky gut food sensitivity and a

bacteria test

the

bacteria test the normal stuff was okay

but for the opportunistic like

pseudomonas and staph they’re really

high

i’m not sensitive to dairy on when i

took

the test but um

i i noticed that it does exasperate my

symptoms so i want to know what you

thought about kefir if that was

a good probiotic considering i

have leaky gut and i’m sort of

overcoming this stuff and what if that’s

good and what else i might do

great question because i’m just very

interested in this whole microbial thing

um yeah you’re smart because um

one way to counteract some of the heavy

metals is to build up your own flora and

your gut that really helps

to um help keep things at a minimum and

um i think um

if you can

if you in your state what what state do

you are you from

nevada okay so

um

i would seek out go to realmilk.com to

see if you can find a farm that has the

raw milk and make your own kefir there’s

a huge difference between buying kefir

and making it yourself with a starter

kit and using raw milk there are things

in the raw milk um when you make this

kefir that um

seem to bypass like people that have

allergies and sensitivities and

intolerances to things

so i would at least try it

because the kefir is hands down like one

of the best probiotics i mean it has a

wide range of the yeast and the bacteria

and you could take some of that now

so let’s say that doesn’t work

you have uh you know kimchi and

sauerkraut those two are are really

important um a good probiotic you can

get a spore

probiotic which is a kind of a

um it’s a microbe in dormancy just like

in my greenhouse right now

i’m not growing anything right now

because it’s like too hot and so these

microbes i’m not watering them they’re

in a spore as soon as i have water boom

they become alive so same thing with the

spore of microbes you can take them and

they tend to

be better than the ones that might

already be dead when you take them

so yeah that’s what i would i would do

and um

sauerkraut is like the best

okay

great thank you doctor sure no problem

thanks so much uh joseph appreciate

having you on i’m just teasing the rest

of you all look very mature and patient

so i’m just having some fun here but

thank you for that joseph and we hope

that you would call us back as we do all

of you

to let us know your progress and you

know how things are going for you

so let’s see let’s go back to well how

about a quiz question

um

number two

uh asked and of course i didn’t

understand the thing which is better

high intensity training or low intensity

i guess sustained training or something

correct me if i’m wrong dr berg but the

audience understood it oops sorry ma’am

i didn’t mean to bring you up quite yet

and um

80 percent say hit

and 20 say list

okay

it’s a trick question uh they’re both

they have their own

uh purposes you know we always you know

i’m bringing this up because um i get

this question a lot like um

you know like well should i do this or

that i think you should do both of them

because there’s benefits on each side

like for example the low intensity can

actually lower cortisol the high

intensity can increase cortisol so um

plus both of those exercises don’t

really work on your flexibility

um

range of motion as much as was i like to

do workouts with that as well so i think

a combination of both also the um you

know with the high intensity interval

training you’re going to get more growth

hormone you might get a little bit more

fat burning but the low intensity um

works on the blood sugars a little bit

better

the advantage with the high intensity

you can have um

it’s for those people that don’t have a

lot of time

and uh you like to just get in and out

and i but i think a little bit of both

is good because um

i can’t just do a low intensity workout

i have to personally do something high

intensity and sometimes i push to the

limit like i did two days ago which

um i could barely walk right now but um

so that’s uh

being said um i hope that answered the

question and as we’re proceeding if

terry could go ahead and see if there’s

any answers of the original question

that i asked about

people that are just beginning or

experienced with keto

good we’ll get the whole team on that

and let’s see here’s an interesting

question carl is asking i’ve just

started an active exercise program is it

best to skip workouts for a couple of

days while i’m faster fasting excuse me

or does that matter

so it’s if you could work out while

you’re fasting you’re going to add a lot

more benefit but

how do you know if you can handle

exercise when you’re fasting

well you do it you work out and see if

you can maintain your same amount of

energy if you can

then you’ve adapted your body can when

you’re working out the problem with

workouts when you’re fasting is you’re

you’re tapping into your fat and you

have to be adapted to your fat or else

you might just um

you know run out of sugar and then

because you’re not adapted yet to

ketosis and then get really tired

so if you could maintain the same level

of energy level of energy i would

definitely work out while you’re fasting

the brain doesn’t need to adapt to

ketosis

it can it it can use ketones

or sugar

like that like no um

no adaptation so um it’s the survival

mechanism because you need to have to do

that so

if

if you actually put ketones in your

blood

versus sugar

the the brain will always choose the

ketones before the sugar so

um

one thing when you’re starting keto and

people

have um

headaches and things like that or side

effects

that’s when it’s a good time to add the

mct oil to add more ketones so the brain

feels better and that way you don’t have

any

you know problems symptomatic with that

but um

but there is no adaptation for your

brain your brain can just

suck up those ketones or sugar um back

and forth

and um

so i just wanted to throw that extra

thing in there very good zee shan uh

from our social media gang can you

please tell me how to address

hashimoto’s thyroidism

that is an autoimmune hypothyroid case

and and i think the best remedy for that

is selenium

and lots of vitamin d because it’s

autoimmune so you take about 30

maybe even 40 000 ius of vitamin d3

to help reduce inflammation

and of course you know

fasting is going to be really important

for any autoimmune

problem because that’s going to

strengthen your immune system

microbial diversity you’ll have more

microbes in different types

so um

that’s what i would do

very good okay coming from india watai i

guess that’s her non-degear

but from india wants to know can you

please discuss the best way to address

gastritis caused by h pylori

licorice root is a good remedy

also

marshmallow root is a good one but not

marshmallows

the other thing that’s good is the

wheatgrass juice powder is really good

for um

gastritis

and also

you know you might

think that it’s coming from this h

pylori and it might be

but you can also have gastritis from

[Music]

bile backing up into the stomach

so just

if that’s happening

you don’t want to be taking bile cells

um you want to you might want to take

tucker just to kind of keep the flow

going but

then don’t take it because you have it’s

not draining properly so in that case

you want to do like some manual type

therapy to kind of allow it to drain

through there a little bit better

very good okay uh why don’t we we’re

really staying ahead of the questions

and these are interesting doc here’s the

next one

all right so

which is more common in sinus congestion

viral or bacterial infections

all right dig into that audience i know

you will

and let’s see let’s go back to social

media again

um oh here we go macy from youtube

what’s the best vitamin or best foods to

reduce stress increase energy and

sustain focus

well there’s no there’s no uh lag on

that answer because it’s b1 b1 is

hands down the best

vitamin for stress anxiety nervous

tension

restless leg syndrome

um

i mean you’ll feel difference within

probably a few minutes you’ll just feel

like relief

so be one

wow is the answer to that well i know

you don’t uh push your products on the

air and that’s very admirable but but i

don’t mind doing it what do you have it

has b1 in it do you have any

recommendations out of your list of

things i have a i have a natural b1

supplement now i finally got that in as

well as the nutritional yeast

so both of those have the b1 very good

um you know it’s really hard to find a

natural b1 um but we found one

um unfortunately it’s really hard to

make uh but

most of the b1 out there is just pure

synthetic from petroleum and um i i just

there’s just not much attention being

put on the source of where you get these

ingredients and the vitamins so that’s

where my head is at um

finding sources that are really good and

soils that are really healthy good well

i’m glad you reminded me the nutritional

yeast as b1 i’m a fan of that of course

able from youtube is biotin good to

treat flaky skin what else might help

it can

it can for sure but it’s biotin is also

good for your um

your hair

growth hair splitting

the strength of hair

um some of the biotin is coming from

your gut so

but

a better remedy would be

um

the omega

3

fatty acid like the cod liver oil

and limit the omega-6 fatty acids so

how do you do that well you just don’t

go out to eat for a while because every

single restaurant is going to give you

these omega-6 fatty acids and that will

lead to this imbalance where you have

inflammation the skin flaky dry red

skin i can even look at someone their

skin and tell you what they’ve been

eating

um you know but then they’re at the

local restaurant eating

probably chicken wings or something

fried and

they don’t realize how that’s affecting

the skin

well you indeed you are what you eat i

guess so

and the audience is eating up these

questions and they’ve already got an

answer to the last one which asks which

is more common

uh in sinus congestion virus or bacteria

and the audience

has an opinion sixty percent say it’s

viral thirty percent say it’s bacterial

and ten percent uh are hedging their

bats and say it’s both

okay so

the great majority of sinus infections

is viral

sometimes but rarely it’s bacteria this

is why the antibiotics for a sinus

infection

rarely are just it’s just a waste now

you also can have uh what’s common is

fungal affections if it’s a chronic

sinus you’re around

i will us release the video on that this

week as well

uh some really good remedies to use to

if you have sinus congestion which yeah

boy that’s uh you know it can really

affect you know your sleeping snoring

getting up but mainly oxygen at night

when you’re trying to sleep because um

you can’t breathe you breathe through

your mouth

and then you don’t get the air and then

you don’t wake up feeling

bright-eyed and bushy-tailed

wow that’s interesting well i gave

everybody a sneak peek of susan from

manitoba accidentally so we might as

well bring her on the air and susan if

you would unmute yourself you’re now

officially on the dr berg show

hi thank you very much for having me

um i’m in my 60s

i come from a family with

high cholesterol so it’s from a low

hypercholesterolemia

um mine is the highest in my family

i’ve been on statins since my 20s

currently on rosuvastatin 20 milligrams

which i

i really want to stop taking but my

endocrinologist would wouldn’t hear it

um so you know family history of

heart attack and stroke um

i was eating a low-fat diet for many

years and i’m so glad to

want to eat the fats but i’m a bit

conflicted with regards to the keto and

not handling um

stopping eating for a while you know

fasting is

not so easy

but i’ve cut back on the snacking

so

you know you’ve got one approach which i

appreciate um things are different

around here up in canada

and

you know the dietetics

diabetic association because i have

diabetes as well

um

they say all the other stuff which i’m

not happy with

yeah

i know i hear you and i know exactly

some direction would be

yes i totally

understand that and uh

wow i mean there’s so many um

official organizations that are putting

you on a diet that’s

low fat

high carb

high grain soy blah blah blah so this is

what um i have i’ve had other people

with even a genetic high cholesterol um

be able to do this

and bring the cholesterol down i think

would be very important

is to do what i’m going to tell you and

then go back and get an advanced

well actually no

i would get an advanced lipid profile

test first

and just see where your numbers are and

i’m talking about looking at all these

little factors related to cholesterol

not just total cholesterol but all the

all the data

and then

do what i’m going to tell you and then

go back

maybe two months later and recheck it

and then you’ll you’ll know for sure

what you can handle that way there’s no

mystery but

um so if you have a problem with this

cholesterol

genetically

then you’re going to have to take um

like tutca which is a bile salt on a

regular basis that will keep the

cholesterol

mobile and moving through your body

also choline is another good

cholesterol thing that breaks down

cholesterol and then niacin which not

only will help your cholesterol that

will help protect the heart with one

more little thing and that’s tocatrinals

and that would be a type of vitamin e

that’s

hands down it’s

like 50 times stronger than the regular

tocopherols so called tocotrienols but

it protects the inside lining of your

arteries so that way even if there is

high cholesterol you have this

antioxidant that can uh kind of mop up

any type of uh free radicals and

inflammation and damage that’s going on

so um

the the most important thing though for

you is to really keep your carbs low so

even though you probably haven’t been

doing that but that’s because those

these carbs they actually convert to

cholesterol the bad kind of cholesterol

that’s really sticky and it’s oxidized

and of course

one last little tip and that’s just you

know you’re gonna have to

the type of fat that um really need to

avoid is the uh the the vegetable oils

like that’s really like bad stuff so

maybe you just uh you do keto but you

just don’t add a lot of extra fat and

then the fat that you do add would be

like um

olive oil and you know a lot of

fish oil because fish oil will not

create a problem it’s a unique type of

oil

so that should keep you busy for a few

days

um thank you you mentioned the bio salt

yeah yeah i didn’t get the name of the

bio salt that you mentioned

yeah it’s called tudka

t-u-d-c-a

and tutca is a

a very unique type of bile salt that

can really bring down your cholesterol

um

yeah

because cholesterol i mean bile is the

the primary uh controller thank you very

much you’re welcome so it controls

cholesterol so

uh anytime you have higher cholesterol

maybe you need more bile and so a lot of

people do

but they didn’t realize it until they

tried it and then also that worked

well that’s terrific well thank you

susan for joining us from manitoba

representing them so well and let’s see

uh oh this is interesting uh name anyway

it caused me to look at it the crunchy

pancake i have some serious acne scars

on my face how can i get rid of them or

at least make them less visible

so these are acne scars yeah so he must

be beyond the initial deal

you can you can you definitely use

vitamin e oil rub it in each night

before i go to bed that’s a really good

tip and then the other thing is there’s

a product from standard process it’s

called dermatrophin pmg

dermatrophy pmg from standard process

you can seek out that product and just

take take one before bed for

probably three months

and uh that seems to work good as well

very good abigail from facebook what can

i do to get uh relief from a food

allergy i suspect it was salmon and now

i have a sore throat and swollen lips

well

i mean the the best thing if you want to

reduce

the reaction

to that allergy right now like i would

take a lot of vitamin d but to get rid

of the allergy i would do periodic

prolonged fasting so

like every week you do 48 hour fasting

and then every month you do

like a longer fasting more than three

days

and then that will

greatly improve your immune system and

it may even get rid of your allergies

very good well here’s our first true

falsehood of the day and they’re really

fun because you have a 50 chance of

being smart and here it is

all right the average person in the u.s

drinks 25

of their liquids as a soft drink

is that true or false

wow

i’m not sure coca-cola is going to like

you asking that question uh anyway let’s

see let’s move on from that and let’s go

back to the green room and in this case

uh shannon and her family is chattering

away in the background i think which is

so wonderful has a question for you dr

berg and here she is

go ahead shannon hi dr berg

hi

my family just left so it should be

quiet now

so my question it’s probably i think

it’s a common question that you get but

i’ve been doing this for a year my

husband’s been doing it for five months

and we can’t seem to get it right

electrolytes and leg cramps and diarrhea

sorry too much information but um so my

husband has to have like five scoops of

your electrolytes a day to avoid having

leg cramps and that seems excessive to

me but i don’t know

and for me the balance is if i

if i take one scoop i get leg cramps but

if i eat two soups i seem to get loose

bowels so

not sure how to get a happy medium it’s

been a year and i feel like i was i was

actually vegan for 10 years before this

i feel so much better doing keto

everything is great except for for me

the bad issues um that i’ve never had

before i never had loose stools ever in

my life until now so

yeah so it’s kind of a twofold it’s a

question for both of us but it’s kind of

a similar yeah

well i mean i think this is this is

normal because you’re married and

everything usually is opposite i mean

like

my wife likes it warmer i like it cold

when i’m sleeping so it’s a perfect

so of course um i’m surprised it doesn’t

cause uh

constipation on his side but

okay interesting

um yeah it’s just a normal part of being

married um that’s really what’s going on

but i think if you um

cut down you probably don’t need

more than

a half of a scoop maybe a fourth of a

scoop

and then just

you know eat really good

as far as your husband um the thing

about uh the electrolytes that i have um

with some people i don’t know what his

diet was in the past but um some people

do need

a lot more if like think about like one

scoop is 1 000 milligrams we need 4 700

milligrams but that’s just the rda

that’s recommended

there’s some data that shows that

um

from an evolutionary point of view that

we need like 11 000

um milligrams a day

um so that’s uh so i i don’t think it’s

a problem um if that’s what’s working

for him realize our bodies have a very

uh convenient way of getting rid of

excess potassium if we don’t need it so

it’s not like a dangerous thing at all

unless you have stage five

kidney failure which he doesn’t i highly

doubt if he does um so um

the thing about this our body is trying

to conserve sodium but not potassium

so um

he’s his body’s getting rid of anything

he doesn’t need

but um but you know some people require

a lot more

potassium i’m going to do an experiment

and i’ll put this in a video

i’m going to get a glass of distilled

water put some wires into it and

hook it up to a light bulb and you’ll

see that it won’t work until i add a

little electrolytes and then boom it

works so what we’re doing is we’re

adding more um

electrical um activity to the body

and um maybe that’s what he needs

um but yeah so i wouldn’t

i would just

reduce yours and just see you know see

just maybe work on his diet a little bit

more maybe he needs to have more salads

i don’t know but um

oh then add some mct oil um that might

help and then also uh he probably needs

a good

probiotic

or some type of uh

keefe or something that can actually fix

the microbes that will help the um the

stool

okay

sounds great one last thing if you

haven’t if you haven’t seen my recent

video on constipation watch that one

because

peristalsis which is the pumping action

of colon

is controlled

by that thing that we talked about in

the very beginning of the show called

acetylcholine

and to build that up you need

vitamin b1 so he might need b1 for his

constipation so i did a whole video on

it um

it’s uh i thought it was i’ll go back

and watch a pretty good video so you can

check it out

awesome that’s great videos are great

thank you so much

shannon thanks so much for joining us

let us know how you and your husband

uh do together uh challenge all across

the world let’s see now um and dr berg

has a great heart for kids so let’s go

to leset from

facebook my beautiful granddaughter is

ten but her face is already breaking out

what can i do for her

i wish i would have known um

back then what i know now because um

first of all i bet you anything

there’s too much sugar and more carbs

and too much insulin which then converts

to androgens and then increases

acne and women so um i would

for young adults i would definitely just

go go to the standard eating plan and

cut down the sugars and for kids um get

alternative type sweets you know you

have the sugar alcohols make the

different keto bombs and different

recipes and that would be um

some good advice

and the key is starting your kids early

early as possible don’t try to change it

after they hit 18 because it’s uh it’s

more difficult

so um

steve with you i know your kids are

grown up and it’s uh

they don’t they don’t like to change as

much as

when they’re younger so you’re just

gonna have to start over and have some

new kids oh absolutely and especially if

any council comes from their father

that’s the end of it

just a quick let me tell you something a

quick anecdote so uh my son uh alec and

my daughter was sitting at the dining

table and i just bought hooked on

phonics you know it was an 85 set to

teach your kid how to read early and

she’s i don’t know five or something and

i pulled it out and i said honey this is

a a and this is a lowercase a she said

uh-uh i said well no this is the

lowercase she goes no my teacher showed

us an a and there’s no lowercase a so

i realized then i i quietly folded the

thing back up slid the lid on it and put

it away and then never return to it

again now she’s now got a master’s

degree is doing great but it wasn’t

because of any counsel from her father

she just doesn’t want to hear that from

me so but you know so there you go

okay so uh the audience has jumped on

this true false question which asks the

average person in the us drinks 25

percent of their liquids as soft drinks

65 percent of the audience says no way

it’s false 35 unfortunately it’s true

it’s actually true isn’t that crazy wow

that’s crazy

yeah so that’s uh i’ll do a video on the

um more on that topic but i was just

like what the

um it’s crazy and also um i’ll talk a

bit more on like

what percentage of people consume like

the tap water and what’s in tap water

but

you know

might be might be good to get a filter

but even at the very very bare minimum

there’s there’s certain types of filters

and

things that you can use that are better

than others i will cover that as well

that’s great we’ve got a filter on our

fridge i hope it works the screw in type

anyway let’s see um oh how about the

last question here doc it’s an

interesting one

all right

what is the first symptom of a vitamin d

overdose

how do you know

you’re taking too much vitamin d

is there any simple way of knowing that

what do you think about that

very good dig into that audience and now

let’s go to mary who is from uh an oaky

from oklahoma and mary let me unreach

you on my end and you are on with dr

byrd

thank you thank you can you hear me

perfectly

okay

um

what i’m having is i was wanting to talk

to you about i’m having anemia

uh because i have a fibroid in my uterus

and it’s been bleeding for like four

months it’s getting worse but i’m going

to get in you know i finally got into

the gynecologist that’d be next month

and then after that they’ll send me to

if they’re going to do something about

it but

i’m

only been on the program probably maybe

six seven weeks

and i love it i mean it just hit me just

perfect i mean

i don’t have keto flu i’ve never had any

you know side effects i just started

doing it

and then within a week i was already

fasting

so i was off and running

but

i’m finding that

i’m the fasting’s not

so good for me because i feel like i’m

going to faint all the time i feel like

i’m going to faint

um i tried to add more nutrients

i take the electrolytes

but and i’m not hungry

i’m not hungry at breakfast i’m not

hungry until like two three maybe if i’m

even hungry because i have a job where i

can work straight through and not even

stop

wow um i can wait till dinner to eat

but

i yet i’m

constantly like the room starts spinning

or

i’ll just have to grab hold of something

because i know i’m gonna faint and then

the logical

thing to do would be eat something you

know right so you don’t faint right i

mean

i’m just confused because i don’t want

to eat anything but i know i know yeah

that’s it so okay so this is what i

would try um

the next time you get dizzy um

take about

an eighth of a teaspoon of sea salt and

dissolve it in water and drink it and

see if that gets rid of your

dizziness

sea salt

that might be what you’re missing

let’s say that doesn’t work you know you

don’t feel any change at all if you feel

some change then it means you need to do

more of that but let’s say there’s no

change at all and you’ve tried that a

couple times

then i would support the adrenal glands

because the adrenal glands might need

support there’s uh something i have

called the

whole desiccated what’s called adrenal

support but it’s a desiccated adrenal

it’s a

an actual extract that

it it kind of supports the adrenal

because one of the symptoms uh about

adrenal that needs supporting is

dizziness

um

sometimes low tolerance to stress not

that you have that but definitely

the dizziness

i love the fact that you’re

you lost the appetite now we just need

to get handled that one symptom because

then you can go

longer and um things can really start to

happen

but uh yeah so

the most likely thing it’s it’s sea salt

but then second you support the adrenal

um

so those are the two things i would i

would do right now

and if that doesn’t work come back and i

will give you a third solution

all right that’s so great well mary

thanks for joining us and thanks for

waiting so long in the room uh and s uh

stefan

uh from uh washington is our last

participant here and we’re gonna bring

him on

and stephon go ahead with your question

hang on dr burke i’ve got your shot all

screwed up here let’s fix that oops

oh well here we go there you go dr berg

and stefan you’re on with dr berg

hi dr berg first i want to thank you for

you uh completely revolutionized my

wife’s health and my health i lost 55

pounds

her rheumatoid arthritis is

significantly improved wow and uh

it’s people don’t realize how easy it’s

it’s much easier to eat less frequently

instead of bothering all these dishes

and cooking three times a day or going

out my goodness i know i hear you it’s

like your whole it’s a whole life

revolving around these doing these

dishes and eating

i tell you i hear you

that’s for sure

so

just a little bit of pertinent

medical history about 14 years ago i had

chemotherapy for testicular cancer

about a year ago

i had a gi procedure and they told me

that i had markers for gi inflammation

and so my current struggle is

i generally

it seems like forever now i’ve had

floating stool

and uh sometimes fragmented i’ve tried

many different types of probiotics and

and all the sauerkrauts you can eat and

it’s persistent i was wonder i wanted to

know if you had any other ideas

yes yes i do um what’s happening is um

you’re getting um

the still floats it means that there’s

fat in the stool

so that’s not a lack of microbes that is

a lack of bile salts

so you need the bile salts

so you want to add the bile salts until

that improves

but

what happens when you eat is you have

this release of the bile salt and then

you also have the triggering of the

pancreas to release

an enzyme to help fully break down fats

so um the bile salts are

usually will handle that problem but

sometimes you have to add some enzymes

pancreatic enzymes so the combination of

those two i mean i’m not saying that i’m

not biased in my own gallbladder formula

but it does have

the bile salts and the enzymes and of

course that was a sarcasm but the thing

is that um that’s really what you need

um

the other point i was gonna bring up

um

is just uh and i’m sure i have tried

those

i did try your product and i and it

didn’t seem to help okay so if you try

the my product maybe

i did it wrong i don’t know

he was taking it after eating

yeah

okay so if you still have some take more

of it and if it still doesn’t work for

some reason then we know

what you need to do is you need to find

some enzymes some um you know pancreatic

enzymes and start doing that because

it’s either it’s either the bile or

enzymes one of the two

but

um

you know when you don’t have either one

of those you can have like a floating

school a stool uh skid marks in the

toilet there’s a whole series of things

that can happen

um

but um i would

do that and then if that fully doesn’t

handle it you just come back and let’s

uh let’s take it one step further

because

you know what i’m trying to do in the

show is just to give people tips on

things but

sometimes you have to get more

information and test things out and uh

but most of the time

the most likely thing is just to try the

bile salts and

not just one probably two or three after

a meal especially if it’s a big problem

okay

i’ll give it a try

awesome thank you great for your results

i love it that’s awesome great thanks

stefan and again as we always say please

get back with us and let us know uh you

know uh your progress because dr berg is

very interested in all that

and let’s see quiz question number five

we got to all of them today because of

the

vigorous attention the audience gave

them and the last one asks what is the

symptom of vitamin d uh

overdose and drumroll

55 say joint pain 30 say elevated

calcium levels and 15 say loose bowel or

frequent urination

okay so

um what happens with vitamin d is that

without vitamin d you can only really

absorb 10 of the calcium from your food

with vitamin d you increase that by 20x

so you really start extracting calcium

from the food that you eat and it gets

absorbed into the blood and so if you’re

having too much vitamin d

you’re going to have too much calcium

and that’s going to show up as

calcification now in a woman it might

show up as a little calcification spots

on in the breast

it could show up as calcification on

your teeth is tartar it could show up as

calcification um

and the um

kidney you know but it’s really just too

much calcium you might feel the joints

it’s stiffness

but

if you

reduce

your um

i’m sorry if you add in some additional

helper um

nutrients like vitamin k

and zinc

and

magnesium

then you reduce dramatically

the

collateral damage from that and also if

you drink

2.5 liters of fluid you completely just

rule out or eliminate the risk for

kidney stones so

there’s some really cool things that you

can do and i will release a video on

that but um

you know people are concerned about

taking ten thousand i used to vitamin d3

but you’re gonna find out in this new

video

that the real dangers occur when you’re

taking

hundreds of thousands of international

units of vitamin d3

and sometimes even a million

ius of vitamin d3

so um

you know most people can handle

thirty thousand i use

for a hundred months

without getting any symptoms so anyway i

think that’ll be a good video to release

um

maybe this next week very good by the

way we really didn’t get any responses

from the audience on how long they’ve

been on the keto diet and that’s a

couple of experts have been digging

through the comments so maybe there’s

another way we could po pose that but

audience uh if you didn’t answer let’s

re why don’t you restate that doc and

just see if they’ll do it after the fact

and we can get some stuff oh yeah um yes

all i need to know is i’d just like to

know like are you new to keto like have

you never tried keto or have you

experienced with keto that’s all i want

to know because i’m just

curious who do we have listening um

it would be very helpful i’m i’m

assuming i’m assuming that

probably everyone has been on keto but

i’d like to really know for sure all

right well that uh you would have asked

during the show but that’s wrapped so

this becomes your homework assignment

and doc maybe last week you can always

comment and you can i can watch this um

later i can watch in post production

because you could add add the comments

if you talk within the next 30 seconds

and of course um

you know this next uh

week

of videos lined up you know

i get a lot of great uh feedback on

ideas on new videos that i do research

uh and i’m putting a lot of time in

these research just to come up with a

lot of the background and data so i

think you’ll appreciate it you’ll like

it

and

definitely apply the information spread

it around your friends and family

members

as you’re already doing

but um

yeah it’s interesting when you when you

get helped with something and the

natural thing is like you want to help

someone someone else so that’s like a

that’s really the thing for me is if i’m

not helping a lot of people

of course i go into severe depression by

the way let me interject they are

killing it with answers on that thank

you audience i mean they’re just

spraying by so there’s a whole ton of

information on who people who’s new to

keto and so on

and uh so there you have it yeah i think

that’ll be uh valuable just to

you know i might have to reword my

questions my answers because

you know i mean

i just assume everyone

pretty much has watched all my videos

but they probably haven’t so

there you have it well doctor take us

out no i won’t

what’s that steve i’m sorry i was just

saying take us out i didn’t need to tell

you that

we’re done yeah so thank you have a

wonderful weekend and

i appreciate

all your wonderful comments so i will

see you next week

[Music]

you
