[Music]

all right welcome back everyone

we’re here for another q a and anything

that i say is definitely not meant to

diagnose or replace your medical care

check with your doc before

doing any things we’re going to talk

about and do your own research

but i would like to show you a lot of

interesting links between

natural things and

body conditions so that way you can

get a clue up like what areas to focus

more on um

because the problem is like there’s just

so many complications and side effects

from these

synthetic solutions

so steve let’s just dive right into

these questions all right we are indeed

what we eat aren’t we

all right let’s go uh right over to um

social media we’ll start with avo

from youtube thanks for your passion for

helping people i see so many good things

in your products and i probably need

them all but

which products should i start with as

someone just beginning on my journey to

better health good question

i think the electrolyte powder because

electrolyte powder is a it’s a very

different uh blend of minerals because

it’s really high in

potassium it has the trace minerals it

has the other elec electrolytes but it

also has um

the quality is like i don’t have any

hidden multi-dextrin like a lot of other

products have because they go with the

cheaper ingredients so it’s it’s really

good for keto it’s really good for even

if you’re not on keto um so i think that

would be like the base

that i would recommend um i i actually

going to release a video um

on

hooking up a light bulb

with

wires to

distilled water and then adding the

the powder in there to show people

electrolytes make things more electrical

and so your body becomes now powered to

run the nervous system and the muscles

so you’ll you’ll definitely feel

difference especially if you exercise

you’ll feel a difference

so yeah and

it’s a little bit different than

gatorade

yeah well i do stir it into

a little half glass of water before my

run

each day if i run each day when i do so

uh got rid of my uh calf cramps i was

having really bad calf cramps when i ran

probably not drinking enough water in

usual but anyway so i’ve ended that in

and haven’t had one of them thang since

so let’s go back to

i don’t know whether it’s youtube or not

but ron can i juice a cantaloupe i’ve

heard they’re very nutritional

they have nutrients but there’s a

tremendous amount of

sugar

in those cantaloupes especially if

you’re juicing it you’re taking away the

buffer which is the fiber

and you’re going to get straight sugar

so

i wouldn’t recommend that of course i

used to do that myself and

[Music]

not anymore though i used to juice

massive amounts of carrot juice until i

started turning orange and i said there

could be a problem with this um but

you know it sounds like a great idea

with the cleanse but what are you

cleansing yourself with you’re cleansing

yourself with a lot of fructose and

other sugars

and of course a lot of people have done

the

like the fasting for a week and then

adding the lemon and maple syrup

cleanse and

well that’s when you start doing

cleanses with glucose like that or juice

you never fully get it adapt into keto

so it’s it’s incredibly

difficult because

if you’re trying to do

uh fasting

with blood sugar issues it’s torture

you’re going to be craving pizza all day

and you’re going to just be thinking

about i can’t wait till i eat

interesting okay lauren from youtube

what can i do for low stomach acid can

it be caused by too much intermittent

fasting

it does it’s not caused by too much

fasting because it

it’s caused by

a lot of things like antacids

it could be caused from not enough sea

salt

uh because the sodium chloride chloride

builds the hydrochloric acid it could

also become come from not enough

potassium it could come just from just

being getting older

so a lot of people have low stomach

acids but it’s it’s not caused by

fasting and the simple solution is just

to take betaine hydrochloride and with

your meals

and then you keep increasing it and you

might need a lot at first until you can

really digest and one of the biggest

symptoms from lack of stomach acid is

indigestion

that’s the big one and of course gas

interesting okay joy from youtube this

uh you recently talked back one of your

videos dr berg about changing your

eating window maybe the morning or

whatever but still maintaining a certain

amount of fasting so here’s one joy from

youtube can i can our intermittent

fasting window be flexible if i change

my eating window from one to seven one

day and eleven to five to the next will

this affect my ability to get into

ketosis

no that’s a really good question no it

absolutely will not affect things you

can rotate it you can change it up um i

think you should change it up to see

what works better for you because for

example um

i’ve in the past i would eat it my first

meal like

maybe two or three and then the second

meal at seven or

six or seven right

um and then

recently i tried to eat

earlier and then the second meal maybe

two o’clock

maybe three at the very latest

so you want to experiment with that

since

um i’m experimenting

with just one meal it’s called omad

per day

the question is should i eat that for

breakfast

or midday

that’s kind of where i’m from right now

and i’m i i’ve been doing in the morning

but i’m also

testing out a couple days just doing in

the afternoon but not past three

and i think it’s gonna work better if i

have

just one meal right in the middle of the

day maybe two two thirty three o’clock

and the reason for that is

when i get up in the morning i’m just

absolutely positively not hungry for

anything

so it’s hard to eat if you’re not hungry

so um

but when i start moving around and start

exerting energy and then i can have

somewhat of an appetite in the afternoon

so that’s kind of i’m just playing

around with it i’m gonna i’m gonna go

back and forth and just see what works

better as i said in the video just these

things you have to test out to see if

they actually work for you um

because it’s

you’ll have

you’ll be you’ll be totally sure on one

one idea and all of a sudden there’ll be

one person who said oh no

it works completely like for example

taking the um electrolyte powder i said

don’t take it before you go to bed

because you’re going to be up all night

peeing

and of course someone said oh no i it’s

the only time that stops my peeing by

taking electrolytes before bed i’m like

okay well

there’s always that exception to the

rule so whatever works for you

indeed okay and uh here i am on screen a

rare appearance and there’s a reason for

it so right here is dr berg’s app so dr

berg app this one happens to be on

iphone

uh and i’ve just logged on and i already

feel better by golly no there’s a reason

i brought this up because ronda

just asked do you have a video on leg

cramps and again from hq’s just to prove

this so it’s all set so go to doctor you

know go to your app store on this is

happens to be apple dr berg app or the

same on android so get on there and it’s

an absolute wealth of information

to answer any question you have even

though dr berg’s delighted to ask answer

your questions on here so once again

let’s go back to

ronda’s question how can do you have any

videos on leg cramps

i have a lot of videos in leg cramps and

the thing about leg cramps is that

it could it’s not always one electrolyte

it could be uh magnesium it could be

potassium it could even be sodium it

could be calcium so because they all

tend to work together because you have

this

this uh over contracted muscle right

is it that you’re you’re missing the the

the mineral that’s supposed to relax

the muscle

or is it that you’re you’re missing

another mineral that indirectly works

with um

the contraction relaxation uh phase so

it’s one of those things you have to uh

do a like uh rule things out

one by one or just take electrolytes and

that should help you

now the other factor too is that let’s

say you have all these minerals

but your ph is on the alkaline side

in order to have these minerals being

transported you need the right ph it

can’t be too alkaline if things are too

alkaline in the body you’ll tend to get

tetany or tightness or spasm or muscle

cramps

so

some people just swing some apple cider

vinegar with water and boom they do

great and they didn’t need to take any

electrolytes so i have a lot of videos

on that and like steve said

um

i finally completed the upgrade on our

app it’s a free app that just has all

the videos that i do on this one app so

if anything ever happens in the future

you can’t find me on youtube

for some reason because they shut me

down

guess what

you’ll have an app and you can watch the

videos

um

and they can be um

you know

uh

easily uh categorized so you could find

things a lot better

i mean i have videos on certain topics

on youtube that i can’t even find i

can’t even find certain videos for some

reason so sometimes it’s hard to find

what you’re looking for but i do have

about 6 000 videos on every single topic

you can imagine so um

you might want to think about getting an

app and checking it out i think you’ll

like it yeah it just digests everything

down to six buttons or something to get

uh you know any category any area audio

video etc etc

and this is good news for people around

the world because we are being joined

mauritius terry i can’t i can’t

pronounce these things these exotic

places but thank you for emeritus and i

bet i butchered your name the

philippines turkey albania costa rica

and all across these united states and i

guarantee you poor terry has band-aids

on his fingers from typing all that in

so we really appreciate your effort

there terry that’s terrific and we also

appreciate the efforts of those in the

green room that are so patient

to come onto the show and ask the

question personally and let’s kick it

off with phillip and philip is calling

from the middle of indiana and phillip

you’re on with dr byrd

great good morning sir uh in the

interest of time i’ll not cover my

background with training but my question

for you pertains to whey protein uh

in reference to uh intermittent fasting

and keto i was surprised that that first

of all that it’s restricted and that

there was no delineation between

uh hydrolysate uh

concentrates or isolate can you

elaborate on that

yeah yeah so um

whey protein is a unique type of protein

it’s one type of protein in the dairy

um it’s not casein and a lot of people

take it uh for uh bodybuilding and

muscle muscle

uh with air into a place the amino acids

um if you look at the bioavailability

it’s not on the top of the book it’s

kind of lower

um

but it is very very very high on another

scale called the

insulin index

and

those are all the

they they don’t look

for foods that spike your blood sugars

like the glycemic index they’re looking

for foods that will spike the actual

insulin and that’s what we’re trying to

really ultimately keep down so on one

note um

you’re going to get a spike of insulin

when you take it away and that may not

be a bad thing

if you are trying to gain muscle or or

weight

um because you also at the same time

spike the opposing hormone called

glucagon so it kind of it does help to

neutralize it to some degree it’s not

like eating sugar um but you just have

to experiment and see how well your body

handles the whey protein

so

you know i always

because it’s very low fat it’s a lean

protein

um that’s why it spikes

um

insulin a little bit more than other

things actually a lot more

you may want to try

a protein or amino acid that has more

fat or add that with it but

so that’s just my my take on it um

some people do really good on it

you know a lot of the

powders out there

they don’t just have the whey protein

they have in there they have a

maltodextrin which is like oh my gosh

you’re going to really spike that

glucose

now

i am going to be doing a recipe

with whey protein

on a keto brick

for those people that want to gain

weight

um

which is a you can buy the keto brick

product but i have a really good recipe

that you can make your own

and

you know have add that to the meal add

additional thousand calories

and uh because that’s always the

challenge is how do you eat enough food

to get the calories up

maintain or gain some weight with keto

uh that would be one way to do it and so

stay tuned for that video

okay

thank you

welcome

philip thank you for your succinct

question we appreciate that and do call

us back uh once you’ve ate a brick of um

of that stubborn question tell us tell

us how that’s working out for you so

good you’re mixing you’re mixing um

cacao powder with uh whey protein and

some mct powder

but getting the just the right

combination to make it not taste like a

brick has been a challenge

um but it’s actually

i think we i think we almost got it

there so um

give me a couple more weeks and i’ll be

releasing that

okay

philip we’ll be in touch thank you so

much let’s go back to social media mario

from youtube good morning dr berg i

started keto 10 days ago but i find

myself getting dizzy what should i do

now

you need sea salt you need sea salt um

that’s what you’re missing um

that’s all you need to do is add some

sea salt and you’ll find that dizziness

will go away

very good jazzy gems what a name from

youtube is quinoa or canoa considered a

car

quinoa thank you why i’m butchering it

today is quinoa considered a carb and

are foods with balsamic glaze

permissible and healthy keto

no and no unfortunately

yeah it’s a grain

um we want to stay away from grains

it’s not just about the the carb carbs

and grains it’s also about the

phytic acid the other things that

prevent nutrient absorption and then the

high omega-6

fats versus very low omega-3 fats

and then also the caramel glaze

um i i wouldn’t i wouldn’t touch that

if i were you

okay very good rosalind and our hearts

go out to her from youtube uh if i’m too

thin can i still do keto and i have i am

a cancer survivor and i want to modify

my diet to keep the cancer from

recurring

yes

yes i would because

i mean

the thing is the more insulin resistance

you have the more

hyper insulinemia you have because of

the carbs

the worse you can have outcomes with

cancer and so it’s very important to

keep on a low carb diet when you to

prevent cancer from coming back when you

have cancer there’s a bit more you need

to do and i have videos on that but

as far as a prevention you want to make

sure your mitochondria are strong and

the best way to do that is to feed it

the fuel that

that you need to create the least amount

of damage to the mitochondria you know

the keto is the way to go with

intermittent fasting if you did

a keto plan with regular

intermittent fasting with periodic

prolonged fasting um

this is my opinion but i i think

you wouldn’t have your cancer come back

because it’s a very therapeutic thing

when you do fasting for it destroys

cancer

cancer does not like fasting

well rosalind we’re pulling for you so

keep up that great healthy

diet and we wish you well okay and

terry’s not leaving anybody out whenever

we do our shout out there’s always a few

others that feel left out and they are

malaysia zimbabwe tunisia morocco

kurdistan russia luxembourg and the

united arab emirates so thanks for

sounding off or sound chiming in and so

on uh so appreciate you joining us on

the show

and joining us all in great health uh

let’s see why don’t we uh oh go to our

first quiz question oh i’m falling

behind let’s get it going and doc here

it is

okay

why would calcium

build up

in your arteries why does calcium

actually build up in your arteries

okay jump on that

yeah so that’s what see if you guys um

know the answer for that one that’s an

interesting answer which i’ll be curious

if anyone knows the answer to that

all right very good let’s go back to the

green room and now just a little past

little rock

is uh charlotte

and here she is on with you dr berg

charlotte go ahead with your question

hi dr berg hello i just want to thank

you for your life’s work

it’s been very impactful in my life and

just thank you for what you do

okay my question is

um i have

i have been diagnosed with a alpha

thalassemia trait

and so i’ve been told that my red blood

cell count is a little higher than it

should be

i have experienced some unpleasant

symptoms with this um one of them being

trouble sleeping through the night so i

just kind of wake up i guess when my

my body gets hungry and i have been

trying to remedy that by you know eating

a little snack maybe a banana or

something but i i found that that

doesn’t work too well with keeping my

insulin down and my ability to lose

weight

so i cut that out but i was wondering if

you had any suggestions on what i could

do to sleep better through the night and

keep my cells

nourished yes

when someone has some type of defect in

their genes and everyone does have some

defects and mutations to their genes and

there’s some great dna testing that you

can do you’ll see more of this as time

goes on it doesn’t mean that those

genes will always be expressed because

you’re not you’re not they’re not the

controlling factor you have

epigenetics which is above

your genes so it’s lifestyle it’s it’s

when you eat it’s what you eat it’s the

stress level all these other things

but what you’re trying to do which is

smart is trying to do fasting and

it’s been hard so you have to snack um i

think there’s

two things i would well actually more

than that i would uh first of all you

need to start including the apple cider

vinegar with water in your

with your meals and maybe even before

you go to bed because that’s gonna it’s

one of the best things to regulate your

blood sugars

even if someone does a high carb diet if

they consume that apple cider vinegar

with water your blood sugars will be

better even if you have something called

the dawn phenomenon in the morning where

your blood sugars are high so apple

cider vinegar is really good um the

other thing is to make uh look back at

my videos on your meal

and compare it to what i recommend to

what you’re doing you might need more

fat with the meal

you might because you should if you’re

truly in ketosis

to be able to get the benefits

you need to go

you should lose your appetite so you

should not be hungry at all and you

should feel good and everything should

be fine um so the fasting

for your condition is so

vitally important because that way you

all these cool things will happen when

you started fasting to your blood i mean

like normalization of all sorts of

things um a couple little tips though

for sleeping you may also need to add a

little bit of salt and water

in the evening and drink that that does

help

sleep um

to help your sleep um especially if you

have what you have and uh and there’s

other remedies too like vitamin d3

before bed and zinc before bed

these are all just natural things that i

would do

um

versus snacking so give those a try and

let us know how that works

well that’s great well thank you so much

charlotte

thank you very much and do as we say

with everyone please get back in touch

with us and let us know how all that

works and let me see if we’ve got any

answers yet

no but let’s go back to um youtube lull

from youtube i am a lactating mother

with a child who is allergic to milk

chicken fish lemon mango avocados beans

and bananas what should i be eating to

stay in healthy keto and i f

it’s just a matter of

looking at what’s what’s acceptable and

i on my vid on my website i have a

download of all the things you can eat

and there’s a lot more options you can

eat a lot of additional foods you’re

going to have to

work on just avoiding those foods right

now

and

the other thing that you have to realize

if you include intermittent fasting and

even periodic prolonged fasting it’s one

of the best things to get rid of

allergies because

it strengthens your immune system

so you could do the avoidance for a

period of time

and then slowly introduce a small amount

of food over time to increase tolerance

but also the fasting is something that a

lot of people don’t realize that is

really good for allergies not just food

but environmental as well as the allergy

to your own tissue that’s called

autoimmune

so

that’s what i would do

very good okay teri my apologies you did

have the answer to quiz question number

one which asks why would calcium build

up in your arteries and 60 percent say a

lack of k2 20 say too much dairy or

vitamin d and 20 say too much sugar and

refined carbs any winters today

doc it makes it make logical sense that

a lot of these answers would be correct

um however

um a very similar thing is happening

on your teeth with the calcium deposits

which are tartar

to your arteries

and if you know what cintarter

it’s biofilms what’s a biofilm it’s a

colony of microbes that

hide from your immune system by building

up

these calcium igloo shells

and

they’ve

found out fairly recently that uh

you’re plaquing your arteries

is filled with biofilms

so what does this actually mean it means

that

if you’re trying to get rid of calcium

from your arteries and you’re only using

k2 it might not work

um

the worst thing you could do is take an

antibiotic

because now because they become stronger

with antibiotics

they grow with antibiotics because they

become resistant you can’t kill biofilms

with antibiotics so in a video

that i’m going to release

i talk about using

the same remedy

that you would get rid of tartar

and that would be hydrogen peroxide

now at first you’re going well wait a

second hydrogen peroxide that

that’s how you clean things i said yeah

that’s how you kill microbes it’s very

very potent antimicrobial and the cool

thing is our bodies actually make

hydrogen peroxide to kill

viruses to kill microbes it’s one of the

first lines of defense you’re not taking

anything that your body doesn’t already

make

so um in the video that i release you’ll

have to um get the background

of why that would be a good idea and

then um

understand the whole mechanism but

yeah so that’s really what’s happening

so the question is why would a

why would a

biofilm attach to your arteries

well they attach to uh areas surfaces

that have like a different rough edge

like just like if you were to have like

a

um

a replaced hip or a catheter

they tend to accumulate on that that

surface but they don’t tend to

accumulate on really smooth surfaces

so if your arteries are healthy and you

don’t have lesions and inflammation

because you don’t need a lot of sugar

or omega 6 fatty acids

then chances are you’re not going to

accumulate the biofilms and actually

create a whole cascade of plaquing

so it all kind of will make sense when

you watch the video

but it’s an interesting

topic and a way to handle and prevent

these problems

all right very good well our audience is

smart and resilient and the fact that

they uh almost completely failed to give

an adequate answer to that one we’re

going to give them another chance right

now there you go doc next question

there’s a very nice way of saying no

that’s not the right answer okay next

question is what does uh strong

smelling urine tell you

yuck all right let’s see so get on that

uh audience and let’s see what’s going

on with that and here we go back to leg

cramps gene from facebook this time what

can i do with leg cramps my blood tests

show i have low phosphorus levels uh

what should i be doing beyond healthy

keto and iaf

okay so we talked about electrolytes we

talked about the ph but

the question is um

if we bring in phosphorus

what

what um nutrient helps you absorb

phosphorus

that would be

vitamin d

vitamin d

helps control and helps absorb by a very

large

factor

both calcium and phosphorus

so i would

take more vitamin d for your leg cramps

because you automatically get the

absorption you see people don’t absorb a

lot of calcium and phosphorus from the

food unless they have vitamin d in the

intestines so

it’s just another little clue when you

said that phosphorus i would add the d

uh three with that and um

that should be the icing in the cake to

help you

very good why don’t we go back uh to the

green room

and our condolences to our next guest

who lost uh their queen there and ernest

is on with us from uh uk somewhere

between birmingham and london so ernest

you’re on with dr berg and our uh you

know our sympathies for what’s going on

there in the uk

thank you son um good morning son

good morning

hello can you hear me please

perfectly i can hear you perfectly hello

oh dear let’s see um

yeah um just quick

just quick question son

um i started about four months now i

started having like a foamy urine and um

i had my blood test done and clean um

scan

ct scan

everything is okay but i’m losing a lot

of weight and i’m still having it for me

urine i had um high blood pressure

no diabetes and um

i’m just

sick at moment i’m still having a me

urine and i’m losing a lot of weight

i got it are you on the ketogenic plan

yes but i

you know i just confused i don’t know i

stopped recently maybe a few days ago

okay so

foamy urine usually is a problem of too

much protein

so you may want to just adjust the

amount of dietary protein you eat and

and drink more fluids and see if that

doesn’t

help you now the other thing is that i

would definitely get a urinalysis

to figure out if there’s any other clues

do they have do you have protein in the

urine

do you have nitrates in the urine which

could indicate an infection

um because

when you do the keto diet you will be

losing weight too so i need i need to to

evaluate that we need to look at a

little bit more data but the first thing

that comes out of my mind with the

protein is the

too much protein will create foamy urine

so

i would look at

that first

and see if that would be the thing

to make adjustments

yeah i’ve done i’ve done that already

okay

and you’re still getting five don’t die

and my urine is fine

yesterday for me i the first time i

checked it four months ago i have

protein in my urine

then i’ve done it like

15 times

no protein in my urine anymore but i’m

still having for my urine

and i’m losing a long way

okay

so i think if you’re losing a lot of

weight and the question is you’re not on

keto right you’re not doing keto is that

true

yeah i’m doing it i’m doing it

okay well guess what

it’s going to be normal to lose a lot of

weight when you’re doing keto especially

if you’re

male because

men lose a lot more um

weight on keto so i i think the weight

loss is not a bad thing

i think the foamy uh

urine

there’s a we need to be able to

since you had protein initially

that tells me there was some damage in

the kids

so

that damage doesn’t go away right off

the bat it takes

it takes months

to fix that so even though the

the protein might go away the damage is

still there in the kidney that does take

probably going to take six months so i

would if i were you

follow the ketogenic plan make sure it’s

the healthy version

lower the mouth protein think more

absolutely and just give it a little bit

more time and i would also get like um

you can get those little uh

urinalysis sticks they’re not as

accurate but at least kind of you can

test yourself each day

and you can just see it see how things

are going um and then watch my video on

how to analyze it like for example

specific gravity for example that if

it’s if that’s altered i tell you what

to do if there’s nitrates i tell you

what to do if there’s euro balancing i

tell you what to do so um

i think your analysis

figure things out but

the reason you’re losing weight is

you’re because you’re on keto

that’s my guess

okay thank you something get back in

touch with us ernest uh and thanks for

representing the uk so very well we

appreciate it

now audience drum roll please we’re

going to have a chance to redeem

yourselves

by having some correct answers for

question number two which says what does

strong ammonia smell in urine tell you

speaking of urine

and 55 percent say liver or kidney

issues 35 say dehydration 15 say well

here we go too much protein

you’re all right again and i should

probably give people easier questions

but this is uh it’s mainly a liver

problem the liver

deals with

the excess protein that someone eats or

just the protein in general and so

there’s a whole cycle

of breaking down protein it’s called the

ur urea cycle

and

even your microbes can make

uh

uh add to this cycle too

in the day what they do is they take

this byproduct of protein called ammonia

and they turn it into urea which is a

less toxic thing

your body does not want too much ammonia

to be in your um bloodstream because

then it kind of goes to the brain and

it’s very toxic to your

your brain cells and you can have

dementia

both of that you’ll be perfectly fine so

your liver is

the organ that’s supposed to deal with

that so if the liver

can’t do that job because it has maybe

cirrhosis or it’s fatty or there’s

inflammation and then you you will it

will actually spill off into the blood

you’ll have higher amounts of

ammonium in the urine now when you’re

doing keto

what happens

is that

your ketones are more acidic

and

your body is trying to balance that ph

out

sometimes by increasing more ammonia

because ammonia is very alkaline

so that could be a completely normal

thing

because just because you’re just in some

deep ketosis

so this is why i recommend

um various things when you do keto like

you know apple cider vinegar with water

which actually helps this process uh

lemon water um

big salads all these things tend to

counter that ex excess ammonia

and yes you need to drink more water and

and that’s just a given but it’s not

just the water it’s the ammonia and then

the other thing is

if

you’re

consuming too much protein like let’s

say you’re doing

10 12

13 ounces of protein per meal

then you might have more ammonia smell

smell and there’s also other things that

can increase ammonia too like if you

sweat more profusely because your

microbes can turn it into ammonia

as well as you exercise a lot you can

have that ammonia touch smell but

typically if you’re doing the healthy

version of keto and you’re having a

moderate amount of protein

not the keto not the high protein but

the moderate amount you won’t have that

ammonia smell but i will release a video

on some natural things that you can do

to

clean it up if you still have a problem

very good shas from youtube could you do

a video or maybe you have on a

fertility friendly diet

well i have but i will do on on that um

now is this for a male well actually

male and female there are certain

remedies that you can take but

um out of all the nutrients for

fertility

vitamin e

should be at the top of the list because

if you’re a low in vitamin e you’re

going to be infertile but there’s a lot

more to it as well but vitamin e is

definitely an important one um

but i’m telling you what’s happening

now is this um

the diet that most people are on and the

chemicals in the environment are really

making a lot of people infertile um

unfortunately

um

and there’s certain things that i can’t

even talk about um or else i’ll shut my

youtube channel down

that are also contributing to it but i

think you guys can read through the

lines on that one

very good okay jj from youtube how can

we do if if we are diabetic

that’s the very reason why you need to

do it aya

i have right now a really good case

study which i’m going to do an interview

he’s a type 1 diabetic okay now he

doesn’t have insulin so he has to inject

it to to bring his sugars down

well he started doing fasting

and intermittent fasting and

his amount of insulin he needs is so

tiny right now it’s like

i mean you think you wouldn’t even need

any at all

so the whole goal

with diabetes is to take

the least amount of medication and have

so you have the least amount of um

insulin response and sugars right i mean

that’s like

common sense it’s going to decrease your

complications and all the other side

effects so

why wouldn’t you want to do something

that will help help that situation

fasting decreases the need for insulin

because eating stimulates insulin

so

it’s the exact thing you need to do it’s

the eating and the frequent meals that

just worsens things with diabetes

but i do have

sometimes i’ll have people who say well

i can’t do keto intermittent fasting

because i’m a diabetic i’m like well all

you all you’re missing is the basic

knowledge of what insulin is and what

diabetes is and once you understand that

you’re like oh

i need it

all right very good let’s do a math

question as a as a quiz here you go dr

berg

all right which has more vitamin a

three ounces of beef liver

or 200 cups of raw kale

um okay jump on that audience you

redeemed yourself on the last one let’s

keep that trend going

all right let’s see gene from youtube my

16 year old daughter had lyme disease

excuse me and

bring that up uh and went through two

different courses of antibiotics lasting

a total of three and a half months she

was scoped and was diagnosed with

candida uh yes

oh terry i wish you’re here

esophagealitis

or esophagus something wrong with that

and is on anti-yeast meds what

can we do to address this issue

when you take an antibiotic

you kill off

bacteria you don’t kill off yeast

you kill up the the very thing that’s

supposed to buffer the growth

of yeast

see the bacteria is there to keep the

yeast count and candida low

so now we have an overgrowth of yeast

you’re on medication so what you should

have done while you’re on this

antibiotic is started to take a

probiotic with it so you need to really

beef up your probiotics

so that’ll put your yeast back in into a

line a line

into checks so then that way it’s not

overgrowing the other thing is you want

to you want to make sure you’re on keto

and low carb because this yeast love

sugar

so

especially milk sugar so if you’re

eating

sugar especially ice cream that would be

a very bad thing

for a candida

i have videos on

what to do for lime and

you know

unfortunately

people take long-term antibiotics and

end up with

more problems and so this is this kind

of leads me to the next point

um

the optimum solution

is the solution doesn’t give you a

bigger problem or doesn’t give you any

problems that would be an opt-in

solution that’s why i always recommend

like natural herbs and stuff because

there is less side effects than

prescription medication but that’s just

my opinion very good okay the audience

has helped us catch up on these

questions with rapid fire responses and

they’ve done the calculations on the

question which asks which has more

vitamin uh hey three ounces of beef

liver or 200 cups of raw kale 85 say

it’s the liver and 15 say that you ought

to wolf down 200 cups of kale

that 15

probably if i were to ask them

individually

would say that

the

actual vitamin a is beta-carotene

because

they change the definition

of vitamin a to be

to include beta-carotene

beta-carotene is in the plant sources so

of course there’s a ton of beta-carotene

way more than liver with plant sources

so

but beta-carotene

you can’t fix

vitamin a deficiencies with

beta-carotene like for example your

night vision problem blindness

you can’t fix it with beta-carotene

because beta-carotene is actually a

precursor

that turns into retinol

it’s not the active form it’s not

bioavailable so now the next question is

what’s the conversion rate

well it’s really tiny it’s like three

percent

so that’s why you’d have to consume so

much

plant-based things for your

retinol

or else you’re just not going to get it

so if you’re not doing some of these

animal products you’re not going to get

vitamin a

the active form retinol in any large

amounts and we need retinol

for our retina which is the

the eye the the nerve in the eye to

allow us to see

um

especially at night and uh

so i will be sharing a video on that as

well

all right very good well here we go with

someone else that likes you dr berg

annabelle from london on youtube i

avoided gallbladder surgery because of

your advice and it is he’ll naturally

love you dr byrd i do think they sling

those gallbladders out right and left

don’t they

yes yeah it’s a very popular

i’m just glad it’s an extra organ that

we really don’t need

you know one of those just

extra things that people have that are

left in the evolutionary process it’s

just kind of still there

because we don’t need it

goodness okay patsy from facebook i have

an iron deficiency with elevated

cholesterol and

urea levels what should i be doing to

address these issues

well again

i would get on

the standard eating plan to help your

cholesterol but you mentioned iron

deficiency

um

it’s i would never ever ever ever take

an iron from a supplement because

they’re all

in a form that is um

elemental they’re not like uh easily

absorbable so they they they create more

problems than

you should they should so you want to

get iron from um

the best source is the best bioavailable

source would be from animal products and

that would be like

uh meats

eggs fish

things like that when you get iron from

vegetables or grains or beans or legumes

um

it’s it’s different it’s not uh what’s

called the heme iron that you need it’s

a non-heme iron and again you don’t get

nearly the absorption

and then additionally you have other

things in the grains and things like

phytic acid

that blocks iron

and tannins that block iron so here you

are

trying to get your source of iron from

plants but it’s not really working

so

people will always say well these plants

are nutrient dense well

if you look at the whole picture

it’s not it there’s other factors that

are going to limit the absorption of

those that vitamin those certain

minerals and vitamins as well

okay very good now we’ve got jude our

first from the philippines i think at

least coming on the air and he’s got a

little bit of a weak connection

so uh go ahead with your question your

picture’s a little jumbled go ahead jude

okay uh

good morning dr berg good morning

hi hello

oh

okay uh

thank you very much for this opportunity

to be with you today and my question is

uh

actually when i was uh

back many years ago when i was still in

my obese or overweight stage

there’s no problem with donating blood

to

red cross or whatever

but now that i’m practicing ketogenic

and intermittent fasting

just last week

my blood was actually rejected because

it’s too cloudy

according to the uh result from the lab

so i think that’s something that i’m

worried about if i can still donate or

something i need to change to my

diet to donate again flour thank you

okay so

you know being

blood that’s cloudy doesn’t give me a

lot of data so you want to find out

what specifically in that blood

um

is being

rejected

um uh i am i don’t have any uh specific

answer from the uh

from the medical technologist but uh

they just rejected my results and

they said it’s a lipidemic something

like that or maybe i need to fast more

for that day to be retest again

or do we have a retest but unfortunately

that doesn’t happen because the patient

died but

i think it’s something to do with what i

ate in the uh lunch time

but the test was done at 7 00 p.m and my

last meal was at uh 1 p.m on that day so

that was i think six hours okay yeah i

think i would get more more specifics on

exactly what they’re talking about and

then i’m i’m curious so if you could

email us at dr berg dr bird.com and tell

me what specifically they’re telling you

is it is it increased lipids in your fat

is it anemia is it

whatever uh and then then we need to

find out what you’re eating to make sure

that um that correlates with having a

really good blood profile um

because i need more data i can’t even

evaluate that but i will say that

for your

the oxygen carrying capacity the lipid

profile

being on keto low carb

should definitely be improved it

shouldn’t be worsened so

um i’m really curious to know why they

rejected you so give me that data

through that email dr berg dr berg.com

hey very good thank you so much for

coming on from the philippines we

appreciate that

let’s go to another question and there

it is doc

okay what is the root cause of

sibol

small intestinal bacterial overgrowth

climate audience okay let’s see and how

about nia from youtube i’m 120 hours

into a water fast and don’t feel hungry

but i’m starting to feel weak cold

fatigue should i break my fast now

uh am i in catis

excuse me ketosis now

you’re probably in really hardcore

ketosis and uh yeah it’s time to eat uh

because your body is weak and things

like that now you could probably push

through it

and take certain nutrients

and give it more time if you if you

wanted to test that out because

and if you have a lot of fat to burn

because what happens is like

you know it does take a bit of time for

your enzymes

to

convert over to be fully

into ketosis but there’s a big

difference between

adapting to ketosis

and being fat adapted

to be totally fat adapted where you can

just like oxidize fat very very well

that takes

like three months

it’s actually like one to three months

so um

i don’t know where you are on the cycle

but i will say that um

give it more time and i would probably

go ahead and eat at this point if you

feel weak

all right good advice here’s an

interesting question alex from facebook

can i drink lemon water for breakfast if

i’m fasting

yeah yeah the amount of carbs lemon

water are so

in

i mean it’s so tiny it’s not going to

create a problem

oh good i would worry about it because i

do drink some of that sometimes although

i’m not as you know daca hardcore keto

all the time so i don’t know why i’m

even injecting my myself in that but

rhonda from facebook

uh if i do

[Music]

um

if i do i f with two meals between noon

and six i lost 10 pounds initially but

i’ve stalled out what steps can i take

to get back on the weight loss track

well you may have lost a good amount of

water weight and now you’re down the fat

so a couple things to really focus on if

you plateau

one is that it’s time to go to one meal

a day it’s time to fast longer

also look at your carbs and make sure

they’re really low

the third thing is to um

decrease the amount of extra fat in your

diet so that way you’re just having the

fat with

with the meal

and the protein that it comes with not

some extra fat like don’t do the keto

bombs and things like that i should

probably

release

this video that i’ve been sitting on for

a while

which is kind of like an extreme weight

loss

version of the ketogenic diet

like i’ll try to release that tomorrow

for you and you can actually get a lot a

lot of ideas from that video all right

very good audiences with it again what

is the root cause of sibo small

intestinal bacteria overgrowth

70 percent of them say too much sugar or

refined carbs 25

say too much too many antibiotics and

five percent say

a deficiency in probiotics

okay so

i know these are hard questions because

normally people wouldn’t know this

unless they did a deep dive and studied

bile from the gallbladder

your body

makes

bile bile is a detergent

it helps you absorb outside of vitamins

and helps to curb excess cholesterol and

get rid of excess cholesterol

and number three it’s very very

anti-microbial so

normally the bile

when you eat should go into the small

intestine and help you digest food

and then go down the small intestine and

kill

all these microbes

to the small intestine

and once it gets all the way down to the

end of the pipe before the large

intestine it gets reabsorbed

so we have this

this purpose of keeping the microbes

very low in the small intestine from the

bile

so when you’re not having enough bile

you your risk for sibo goes way up and

this is why

people that have their gallbladder

removed

dramatically increase the risk of

getting

um

not just gallstones but sibo which is

because they’re lacking bile

so it’s really the lack of bile that

creates sibo more than anything else

which is interesting

um you because i other videos i talk

about hydrochloric acid being one cause

two

which is true

but it’s also a primary cause of having

not enough file

so the solution would be consuming bile

and that would actually help you with

sibo all right very good uh we’re going

to go to andre from redmond washington

but first let’s get out our last

question there it is doc

okay true or false

brand fiber is beneficial for ibs

irritable bowel syndrome

all right audience climb on that and

here

is andre from redmond washington go

ahead with your question andre

hi good morning uh first first of all

thank you for having me

uh and you touched on this topic already

quite a few times during this show but

i’m gonna say it anyways

so right now i’m 5'7 and my weight is

about 120 pounds

i’ve always had difficulty gaining

weight since i was a kid

and so for years decades i’ve been

eating anything i want

thinking i could get away with it

right and i grew up in peru in peru

everything has potato

uh

rice there’s corn even the healthier

dishes has like you know you know have a

potato a corn

you know but i wasn’t really getting

away with it because last year they

found that my a1c was 5.7 so it was

pre-diabetic

so i started doing uh i did

intermittent fasting on keto for for

about one month

and

i lost 10 pounds in one week

right so from 120 something to

112 pounds

so

yeah that was my way when i was a

teenager

[Music]

so my question is

and you touched on this topic already

and i think on the on your previous

answer to the previous guest

one of the

other guests you said oh if you’re in

keto you have to lose weight but i want

to know if there’s a way to actually

keep your weight or even gain weight

which is really what i wanted

um

in a healthy fashion without you know

spiking my insulin levels and so on yeah

that’s my question

okay so i think um yes you’re going to

have to keep your calories very very

high probably

minimally 3000 per day

to 3 500.

you’re going to have to keep more

calories and it’s hard to do that when

you’re in keto because how are you going

to do fasting with that so i would

definitely do two meals and have

two massive meals and you can even

probably do those the keto brick and get

that recipe and start adding more

calories to your your diet because that

way we you can increase more fat which

will which which will then prevent you

from losing any weight the other thing

you can do

is to do

weight training

um

based on the method of mic

menser

you can look them up it’s basically

high high high intensity low reps

um

but you’re creating

some serious

stimulation

of mice muscle hypertrophy and you’re

only working out once a week

or once every two weeks but it’s very

intense

and but it’s not volume but you’re going

to stimulate the muscle to grow so the

combination of muscle growth

more calories and then maybe keep your

carbs at 50 grams not too low but 50

grams two meals a day i think that will

solve your problem very nicely

well thank you so much

may i get like a bonus question so if i

quit bonus questions yeah um i was doing

prolonged fasting

yeah i was doing prolonged fasting and i

was uh

wondering if

taking nutritional juice could break it

no no not too much it’s not going to

break it for more than a nanosecond so i

wouldn’t worry about that at all

all right that’s great or andre you can

hang around with me and i’ll have you

bulbous in a couple of weeks

with my poor habits so in an emergency

give me a shout and i’ll get you fat

thanks so much for joining oh absolutely

no charge okay let’s see do we have an

answer for our question quiz

question number five

um which asks excuse me

fumbling around here audience forgive me

uh true false uh

uh brand fiber is beneficial for ibs

irritable bowel syndrome

and the audience uh a hundred percent

yay say that it’s false is that

true boy

they’re correct because you never ever

ever want to take

brand fiber

for ib gaskets you are going to

literally set that thing on fire

um

so this just kind of goes

through you know like

if you the worse the digestive tract the

less fiber that you can tolerate

um and that these people are taking like

brand fiber thinking it’s the next

uh panacea of health but if they have

any ibs

they’re gonna suffer

severe pain

um but

i think we should go to uh charlotte um

who’s been waiting patiently in the

green room because we have not well

actually we did get to her from a little

past little rock so um we did we did

okay we did well uh thank you uh anyway

charlotte’s very uh flattered i’m sure

that we’re gonna bring her on here twice

but here’s one thing we can bring on doc

and that is another reminder

to the audience to get your now approved

app and all your questions right here is

just like uh

you know just a dictionary in your

pocket if you go this way and but we

still want you to go to doctorberg.com

for sort of all the announcements but

there it is folks it’s a great little

app

uh on android or on apple dr berg app so

climb on that and

and uh there we go yeah

download it it’s very very expensive

it’s free

um but you will get

a nice summarization and

a nice place to find all these videos

and if you like it i’d really appreciate

if you could

give me a review that would be wonderful

if you don’t like it

don’t give me a review

excellent

well let’s see i guess maybe we have

time to talk about international

shipping any new news on that or getting

people’s products elsewhere

yeah if you if you are not in america

okay and you you don’t like paying for

extra shipping

we finally kind of got into different

areas around the world so you can

actually order products without paying

the excessive amount of the shipping so

we’re always working on that so i know

that’s going to help help out

one thing i would like to say about

just products in general

um

the quality of the products that i have

is definitely definitely different i’m

always working on getting really good

sources and not just

like from the like the plant or the herb

but the soil the soil that it’s grown on

they don’t really talk about that a lot

and

the great majority of all

products out there supplements are made

by

either

drug companies chemical companies

or marketing companies and so

the quality is just not going to be the

same

so i will say that if you want something

that’s just

clean and it’s nutrient dense and it’s

very effective you might want to try our

products but um

so that’s that’s what i wanted to say on

that note

i really appreciate all your just

wonderful questions and comments and

um

i read a lot of them so stay tuned for

some more videos coming up this next

week and uh i think you’re going to like

those as well but i appreciate all of

your wonderful kind words so thank you

and have a wonderful weekend

[Music]

you
