all right so i had another question  that came up that i want to talk about  

headaches on keto i didn’t have headaches before  started keto now i have headaches all the time  

there’s a nerve called the phrenic nerve they  basically go underneath the diaphragm on the left  

side the right side and the right side of one  is very close to the gallbladder so if there’s  

any type of congestion with your gallbladder or  bloating it’s going to put pressure on that nerve  

and that nerve goes up all the way to the  right side through here and up to this area  

right through and here so if you have any type of  headache on the right side of your head or neck  

that is related to the gallbladder now the  thing about keto is you’re going to do more  

fats now when you do more fats your body has  to adapt to digesting them i’m talking about  

having enough bile so your capacity  for bile might be a little bit low  

so you need to maybe go into this a little bit  more gradually because if you don’t have enough  

bile and you add more fat especially extra fat  like the mct oil and butter and things like that  

keto bombs which is a little fat treats  you’re going to overwhelm the gallbladder  

and you’re going to get bloating you’re going to  get congestion so real simple solution cut down  

the fats and or take some purified bile salts  and that will help you digest these fats but  

if there’s pressure in the gallbladder it goes  right up to the right side and that can cause  

headaches next thing is oxalates unfortunately  the common keto foods like spinach  

almonds almond flour and also chocolate  if you’re doing keto friendly chocolate  

all of those are loaded with oxalates and  that can be very irritating to the kidney  

and also your joints and even your bile ducts  so it can cause pain arthritis or even headaches  

so that’s another thing to look at if you’re  doing a lot of spinach or almond flour just  

cut those out and see if your headaches go  away number three nuts when people do keto  

they really dive into those nuts and they  have a lot of nuts a lot of peanut butter  

these are all very high in omega-6 fatty acids  which are very very stressful to the liver  

and the bile ducts so that’s another thing you  might want to watch out for sugar alcohols like  

xylitol erythritol these are things that should  be taken in small amounts if you have too many of  

these it can really mess with your digestion and  create bloating and and that digestive congestion  

then refers pain up to your head so a lot of  headache issues really come from digestion  

last thing is dirty keto which is a version of  keto that doesn’t focus on the quality of your  

foods so if you’re doing dirty keto and you’re  not hardly doing any vegetables you’re doing  

other types of things that could  irritate your digestive system  

and you don’t have very many vegetables to help  offset that and help keep the liver in good shape  

then that can cause headaches as well especially  if you’re going to a fast food restaurant  

and you’re getting all the chemicals that  are associated with these foods even though  

it’s keto it may not be the healthiest version  of keto all right guys there you have it the  

five underlying reasons why you may have headaches  on keto before you go if you have a question about  

a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto
