this is the dr. Berg show live from the

nation’s capital it’s time to get

healthy lose weight and feel great call

now to speak with dr. Berg at eight six

six five six one four two nine two and

now dr. Eric Berg

hi guys we’re back it’s Wednesday and we

are live I think last last week people

thought it was a pre-recorded but it

wasn’t but we also have Karen here she’s

going to be taking a lot of calls are

actually a lot of comments from Facebook

and YouTube alright okay okay good

hey listen if you have a question call

us at eight six six five six one four

two nine two okay all right let’s just

there’s someone been holding a for about

34 minutes so we’re gonna go to New

Jersey to get your call from I was born

in Jersey yeah you were uh-huh that’s

right go Jersey hey you’re on the air

it’s a pervy right Ruby are you there

hello okay we’ll come back to you hey

Kim you’re from Arizona unic question

hey our question is regarding my husband

and I both have been are on key don’t

have been on since October I’m on so

late laughs I’ve lost 25 pounds thank

you so much for all your help

and I’m doing it much helpful because

you’ve got me on greens I just kind of

jumped into this when my husband was put

on it for by you the great medical

doctor for his cancer than you know

squamous cell in the vocal cords and

this is their new way now controversial

you know in the cancer world to take

them off those smoothies and all of the

juices and put them into a keto diet

that’s nice jumping ahead or doing it

you turn down your volume just a tad if

I can hear some no and so with the

squamous cell you should put him on the

keto diet and he was at about 150 before

we started keto he’s down to 138 he has

no need to lose weight

and so he’s 510 and 138 now he’s doing

about 17 to 1,800 calories a day and

we’re in an 18-6 window with two large

meals no snacks

his blood sugar since she got the flu

and we’ve been checking

chiggers for several months now he has a

lot but he’s a scientist he has he’s

been very good about that

one thing he’s noticed when he caught

the flu at in December and it’s just

getting over it now is that it made his

blood Sugar’s changed at night and his

fasting blood sugar went up again about

10 degrees about 10 points higher than

you would normally be and then in the

morning it was actually higher when he

woke up instead of being lower like it

normally Abbot can you think of any

reason why this is happening and how we

can like help him keep some more weight

on with the current brain which we’re

doing that we’re doing now 80% fat 20%

protein and about five to ten percent

Club and his glucose is changing from

about 95 to a mill over 100 between

11:00 p.m. and 8:00 8:00 a.m. okay good

so cam a couple things because it’s if

you have you have two situations right

now you have someone that wants to

improve their immune system as much as

possible he had some cancer and then at

the same time he doesn’t want to keep

losing weight because the immune system

is going to be improved when he does in

a minute of fasting so and of course if

you try to push it to one meal a day he

probably will might lose a little bit

more weight so he’s going to have to eat

a little bit more so it’s really a

juggle between getting enough calories

and and doing the in a minute fasting

and I think he’s gonna have he could

probably add the weights in there now to

try to maybe increase more muscle mass

but the point is that I think two meals

are going to be good for him and then

just increase a little bit more calorie

now as far as the flu which is viral and

the blood sure is going up what happens

when your immune system kicks in guess

what you get a spike of cortisol

cortisol is the the main hormones that

is supposed to support the white blood

cells okay that’s why when you get sick

or any type of infection they inject you

with a steroid which is cortisone and so

cortisol is an immune suppressor okay

so as soon as you kick in like a viral

thing and then Ulsan the coral goes up

cortisol releases sugar can it’s a

glucose releasing thing so you’re gonna

release low sugar and there goes the

spike that’s the relationship so the

goal is just to get the immune system up

and then the sugars will come down but

that’s the mechanism good question

though

all right let’s go to Mandy she’s been

waiting for 24 minutes and you’re from

Flagstaff Arizona go ahead Mandy oh this

is Randy and Mike’s dad

Oh Randy okay sorry got a typo there I

didn’t Randy oh yeah I’m very good thank

you

I listened to her first video about

December 2nd just on apple cider vinegar

and that was a day I kind of decided to

cut out all sugar because I had a couple

joints and my fingers are just starting

a little bit sore and as I started

listening to peel your videos on YouTube

I decided to cut out all snacking too

and then so in the past 7 weeks I’ve

lost 24 pounds Wow by cutting snacking

through her alone Wow and I did when I

did that I realized I was already on a

keto diet so I basically use vegetable

salads and fish and meat anyway right so

I didn’t do anything but I have a hard

time trying to keep up with like your 10

cups of salad right now it’s all I can

do to you it is like a half a salad and

they may be some meat and then I might

eat breakfast around 2:00 after 2:00 in

the afternoon and then dinner around 5

to 4 to 7 yeah so now I’m down at like

one meal a day and maybe every other day

I’ll do a breakfast okay I have a hard

time much food at one time but I do also

do your seek help your your electrolyte

powder I do that every day then with

lemon juice in water as well at the the

organic lemon okay

and I do the Auriga news and your

cruciferous caps every day to kind of

make up maybe for the salad I’m not

getting

yeah enough do you still want to lose my

pardon do you still want to lose weight

yeah I I’m only 5'4 and in the weight I

was up until I mid-40s was like 135 then

of my 50 late 50s I got the 145 men in

my 60s now I got up to 163 and I’d like

to get down to maybe 130 pounds or so

got it

let me give you some tips on that okay

yeah so I think I think you’ve done

really really good and then you’re

trying to consume that massive amount of

vegetables which I’m telling you it is

difficult to do that but now if I’m

doing two meals I might do one of the

meals I might do most of the vegetable

and a little protein and the other may

I’ll do more protein more fat so because

it is difficult if you’re doing one meal

to consume 7 to 10 cups of vegetables so

I do understand that so a couple things

that you can do one is to maybe spread

that one meal a little bit further apart

so maybe it’s like one hour of like you

eat it and then you wait an hour and

then eat the protein you know that’s one

way the other thing you can do is blend

the kale you probably already doing this

but I just want to let you know I like

to take kale pack the blender up and if

you still want to lose weight and you

don’t want to add berries and I have the

electrolyte powder you already have this

you can use the electrolyte powder which

is no sugar or the wheat grass which

lemon which has no sugar as a sweetener

and you put that in there instead of the

fruit add the water and it’ll be sweet

but it’s like just pure kale and no

sugar that will that’s a great way to

drink your vegetables to get a little

bit more so that’s kind of a couple

little tips there but I think you’re

doing great and the the the purpose of

pushing up those vegetables is just to

make sure that your liver doesn’t end up

fatty and just to get all the nutrients

but I think what you’re doing now is

good you’re enhancing the potassium and

and I would just kind of take that one

meal and just spread it out a little bit

longer so you’re not cramming

all this food and one sitting thanks

Randy alright and we’re gonna go to

Karen is there any questions over here

Ken yeah YouTube Facebook is in the

house I just had to say that yeah I’m

gonna start over here with YouTube we

have mommy and Tori post it says dr.

Burke I’ve been getting a lot of heart

palpitations with MCT oil I read

somewhere this could be due to die-off

symptoms since MC cheese and anti-fungal

is this true no that’s false it’s not

die-off at all what’s happening is

you’re kind of pushing a bit of fat for

the gallbladder to work a little harder

and so what happens is that congestion

kind of backs up a little bit on the

liver which is right and connected to

the rib cage which is right next to the

heart so the liver is connected to the

heart which is connected to it’s all

connect it’s all putting pressure on the

heart a little bit and that could

stimulate the little nerves that go to

the heart that’s called the pacemaker

and that could throw off the rhythm a

little bit that’s probably what it is so

there is a connection between the

gallbladder fats and heart rhythm that’s

probably what’s happening all right

interesting that leads right into my

next question we have on Facebook we

have Jasmine who’s asking can you do

keto without a gallbladder well I’ve

done a lot of videos and that’s a common

question and you absolutely can do keto

in fact you should do keto without a

gallbladder the only thing you have to

realize without a gallbladder you’re not

going to have the sufficient

concentrated amount of bile which what

does that mean Dani mean you don’t have

enough bile that means Karen the

significance of that means that you’re

only gonna digest 50% of your fat

instead of like 98% of your fat so

that’ll put a little more stress on the

pancreas because they work together now

the pancreas has to make a little bit

more enzyme lipase to do the work so but

we still don’t get a hundred percent of

our full breakdown of the fat fat

soluble vitamins out of an A d e and K

and the other essential fatty acids

which are necessary for the cell

membranes and the hormones and all sorts

of things so but you might not see any

symptoms

right off the bat they take a long time

because their fat soluble vitamins that

kind of gets stored over a long period

of time so I would add a little bit of

bile in into your meals like you can

take something called gall bladder

Formula One after a meal and I think

that will be enough for the whole day if

you did that you’ll be fine and you’ll

probably not have any deficiencies of

the fat size of vitamins so that’s what

I recommend Karen very good now at the

end of this show I always like to kind

of give some really valuable information

so yeah that’s right last week we talked

about the ten worst diet tips this

weekend I think it was seven seven

that’s right I’m sure there’s more bet

so this weekend yeah I’m gonna reveal

yeah the absolute best nut on the key

dough and the worst nut on the keto diet

okay

and in addition I’m gonna talk about the

absolute best berry you can consume in

the worst berry so you have to know this

diable formation good this is gonna be

really good good and there’s actually a

bonus gift that we are going to share

with you at the end wow there’s so much

about that there’s just gonna be

bountiful it’s gonna be exciting to end

it is so stay tuned

hey Rachel you’re from Detroit you had a

question go ahead I do can I just say

that I believe that you’re a Johnson oh

thanks I let you do so my question is

it’s a two-part question kinda so I have

had colitis as a young girl so I had my

large bowel removed and I have a J pouch

now everything gets reconnected and I

also have my gallbladder take it out a

few years later I have in the last two

years lost 118 pounds just by I’m

dieting and exercising but throughout

that process I have also I have large

ovarian cysts where the doctors want to

do a hysterectomy and I don’t want that

so I have decided to cut a lot of

hormones

I’m aware that all the things I have

done over the years not taking care of

my body ate it to those cysts and so I

am doing a different diet now which is

kind of like the keto diet from you but

I’m only eating seafood with lots of

vegetables cut out the sugars and the

cards as well I’ve lost 10 pounds in one

week just from doing this I’m not sure

if that’s how it should be but I have

and so my question is always am I

getting the right nutrients because I’m

aware that the things don’t kind of stay

in my system as long because all I have

is a small bowel so my school kind of

goes in and it comes out the same thing

all right yeah that’s a good question

are you doing any intimate of fasting

Rachel I am I’m going to meals a day and

from that I have lost 10 pounds in one

week literally was like five days um and

I feel great

I do the sugar addiction I have is

Society and I’m drinking lots of water

so thank you your videos are very

informational you’re welcome let me give

you some tips okay okay okay so here’s

the thing you lost weight

a ton of weight before we even started

Aikido okay so probably what happened is

you had an underlying insulin resistance

issue that now it’s going to be improved

but before you know if you lose weight

without improving that you may not still

be able to have the optimum absorption

of amino acids which is protein thus the

maybe the skin is sagging a little bit

too much now doing in a minute fasting

combined with keto is going to be key

for your tone of your skin the quality

of skin and collagen and joints so

that’s going to actually improve over

the next year or so now here’s the thing

you don’t have a large bow I think you

just have a small intestine so we’re you

don’t have a gallbladder so you need to

find where that went and get it back and

make someone to insert it back in there

I have some spare ones in the back we’ll

send you in the mail but the thing that

you need to do is you need

to try to push to one meal a day because

that way you can really take your let’s

call it aa Fuji which is a recycling of

proteins to the next level which is

going to be really good for you but the

problem is without a large bowel and

adding all the vegetables that I’m

recommending all the fiber you’re not

going to be able to absorb those fibers

or utilize those fibers like you would

so you might kind of you’re gonna have

to consume a little less of the fibers

or it’s just going to go right through

you because you can’t ferment them

correctly

so that being said there’s a couple

nutrients that you’re gonna have to

probably take in addition to food one is

the the trace minerals very important

and minerals so get a plant-based trace

minerals and just minerals like the

electrolyte I think that’ll be important

because it’s hard to get that from the

food I love the fact that you’re doing

the seafood that’s great keep doing it

because you that’s going to help the

cysts on the ovaries because that’s a

high estrogen and sea kelp will help

them and then the other thing that you

might need to substitute is B vitamins

and lastly some of the fat soluble

vitamins because you don’t have a

gallbladder self you might want to do

instead of taking the fat soluble

vitamins individually consumed maybe

some bile salts after the meal and then

at that meal have some healthy fats so

you can just absorb the the fat side

vitamins from the food that you’re

eating rather than add the fat side with

vitamins from an external source okay

all right well thanks so much Rachel

good question now Karen we’re going to

go to you do you have a quick question

here no it’s a very long question okay

but I know you’ll answer it so we’ll go

to YouTube here I have Kalinda

who says I’m a vegetarian from birth I

do eat lots of fats blood sugar pressure

and thyroxine levels are normal however

triglycerides are high has back pain

lost a few pounds doing your program I

guess doesn’t say exactly okay so if you

have triglycerides which by the way are

blood fats

you typically are going to use some of

the triglycerides and that’s as fuel for

the body okay so you can use this as

fuel the the problem is if it’s high

that typically means your carb is a bit

too high your carve level and because

you’re a vegan that’s it’s challenging

because of the higher amounts of

carbohydrates and vegan food so I don’t

know what you’re eating I would just

analyze that based on trying to get your

carbs down right about 30 grams per day

that might be tough but that’s going to

bring the triglycerides down to a much

better level I did create a video you

can watch just type dr. Berg on YouTube

and vegan and you know it’ll come up

with some ideas of what you can eat

you do eat a lot of fat that’s good but

I think we just have to figure out how

to reduce some of the carbs in your diet

okay okay great I have another one okay

so a lot of questions coming in about

calories some people still have

attention on calories how many calories

is too many calories how many calories

should you take an on keto so take that

one yeah I have a video on that too

actually is there something you don’t

have a video on one actually there is

what no you don’t have no and Karen

since you just brought that up there is

and this is not the right format but

this is a little form that were you can

download okay there’s a link down below

you can download it and it’s basically

wait a minute a summary this is the

bonus at the end oh well I guess I’m

giving you a really bonus I didn’t know

this was the bonus okay okay so anyway

now that I open up and the worms okay so

basically this is a sheet it’s called a

keto and in a min fasting sheet every

single video there’s a lot of videos on

here you can click and watch it and get

your question answered but you want me

to answer this question though your

calories okay so here’s the thing about

calories I think that the the challenge

is going from three meals a day let’s

say you’re doing three meals a day

you’re going to you’re going to need

between 1500

• 1800 calories okay if you really want

to know but those calories must be you

know three to six ounces of protein and

a lot of vegetables and fat so you’re

gonna have to go to you know it’s in the

book of giving examples and things but

I’m not going to give you details of

that but I have some videos as well but

that’s kind of what you want to look at

as far as calories now as you reduce

your number of meals you’re not going to

keep your calories the same it’s

impossible if you’re gonna do a one meal

1800 calorie meal Karen that is a lot of

food so you can’t digest that so but

here’s the cool thing as you do in a

minute fasting the need for food goes

down so if you’re doing one meal a day

and why is that because your body’s more

efficient and you’re getting a

conservation of nutrients ideally

because it’s burning my own fat right

the meal that you’re eating is your own

fat so you got to think of like if

you’re doing one meal and you’re doing a

thousand calorie meal it reminds me of

that commercial I’m I’m cleaning my oven

it’s a so remember that yeah the lady

was out somewhere no don’t

so right now ideally we’re all having a

meal of our own fat yeah if you’re not

eating you’re having a meal you’re

eating your body’s eating your own fat

as the meal so you’re not starving so

really if you look at the actual

external calories that you’re putting in

the body Karen yeah that one meal it’s

probably gonna be about thousand

thousand calories maybe 1,200 calories

alright okay so that’s and you’ll feel

satisfied with that but it might be like

mentally you might think wow I’m not

getting enough food but but you’re

stuffed okay so it’s gonna be okay so I

hope that answered that I think it did

okay and one last thing this is not

ready yet but I’m gonna show you one

little thing you probably can’t see it

but this is a new little booklet it’s a

Kindle book it’s not even available yet

but it’ll be available in a couple days

I just wanted to mention because a lot

of comments people like what can I do

alternative recipes can I have my

dessert this is strictly keto desserts

in yummies yeah and so there’s a lot of

cool

recipes it’ll be available a couple days

on on my website and also a little link

right to Amazon which basically will

give you some amazing ideas for

delicious desserts so you never ever

have to deprive yourself again and don’t

feel like you’re starving well I want to

say you know speaking of yummy food for

those of you who have been on the keto

lab the keto and intermittent fasting

lab a group it’s a closed group on

Facebook which you can ask to be invited

into these members are awesome and they

are putting a lot of photos and a lot of

videos on of their keto foods desserts

breakfast lunch dinner and some amazing

ideas there it’s you know so we have

their recipes but boy that that close

group those guys are sharing some

amazing recipes they’re very nice people

nice people yeah I’m just really I think

it’s the blood Sugar’s are really really

really coming up not level so yeah a lot

nicer than when they first started

they’re nicer no no it’s a greatest

group of people everybody’s helping each

other supporting each other you know go

you go and giving ideas and sharing

videos dr. Berg videos that have the

answers it’s a cool group of people yeah

they’re very cool so a lot of recipes so

we’re gonna go to Lilian from Maryland

hi Lillian hi thank you for taking my

call sure I’m 83 years old I need to

lose at least 15 pounds and I’m

hypoglycemia and hypothyroid I’ve got a

pacemaker and I go into afib and it’s

like I can’t seem to lose anyway

I don’t have a gallbladder and no matter

what I do I tried to do like two meals

but my blood sugar drops right okay I

don’t know what body type I

but I seem to like when I eat nuts I

break out on my face it was a little

white bumps on it and I was wondering

what I could do to really lose this

weight okay good so and I will be

sending you a spare gall bladder in the

mail so I’ll get your address after this

okay I’m being right I’m being really

totally joking sarcastic the story of my

life he says something and I’m standing

next to him and I say he’s joking he’s

just joking I like that so let me tell

you what to do it Lillian

so here’s here’s the most important

thing right now is the fact that you

have and by the way what I’m gonna tell

you is now I meant to diagnose you or

give you medical advice everything that

I’m saying is for your own entertainment

okay and your you and your doctor okay

but here’s the point because you have

atrial fib chances alright you need some

more electrolytes specifically potassium

by taking extra potassium that’s going

to greatly greatly assist in improving

your blood Sugar’s what’s happening with

hypoglycemia is you can’t go from one

meal to the next I’ve done a lot of

videos on this so you’re gonna have to

add a lot more fat to the meal but

that’s not all you have to add potassium

potassium improves insulin resistance

which means that your body now doesn’t

have to jack up your insulin so high so

hypoglycemics have high levels of

insulin that’s what’s pushing the blood

sugars down and the adrenals might be we

can’t push it back up so if you were

just to have a meal and the first thing

you eat is a huge salad and then add

some minerals add the fat in there

episode of vinegar that’s gonna help you

okay go longer and just do that

consistently all of a sudden you’ll go

longer longer longer and now you don’t

need the snack anymore and then the

hypoglycemic thing goes away and then

the weight loss happens but the reason

why you’re not losing enough weight

right now is simply because you’re still

have a blood sugar thing so your goal

right now should just to improve the

hypoglycemic reaction don’t do nuts do

some other fat and then watch what

happens to the weight the way it’s going

to come next

but you might need to substitute maybes

for the gallbladder support and then

also electrolytes for the atrial fib

just to speed things up

okay thanks Lilia so we’re gonna go to

Lori’s she’s from Florida you’re doing

in a minute fasting right now taking the

kale shakes but you still have restless

legs yes and sometimes it’s my whole

body I’m adding to the kill shakes

turmeric black pepper electrolyte powder

grass juice powder and non fortified

nutritional yeast and then at night when

I have those problems I take a little

bit of magnesium chloride and calcium

citrate and usually battles that’ll stop

it but last night it didn’t it just like

my whole body and it’s just and I it

went boy for a while then it came back

and I’m wondering am i adding too much

of something in or do I need to add

something else okay are you I want to

thank you dr. Burke for everything

you’ve done you have changed my life

giving me hope I can control my help and

my weight for the rest of my life and I

just thank you so much my pleasure okay

thank you how many times are you eating

a day twice okay I have you been doing

this a while or are you just getting

started I’ve been keto adapting for I

mean I’ve been on keto for quite a while

the two meals a day it’s been maybe a

couple weeks okay

and before this did you have more

restless legs or is this a new thing now

is it actually shaking or is it like a

vibration that you just like you just

can’t you can’t just relax with the legs

it’s like something crawling okay and

you know I just keep moving them around

and wiggling my toes and stuff and

finally I just like I can’t stand this I

get up and take a couple of things and

for the most part the magnesium and

calcium seems to help last night it just

it just didn’t I think I know what’s

going on I’m thinking maybe I’m adding

too much okay good yeah I think it’s a

pH problem because when you when you do

the Kido you’re gonna ketones are acidic

and what’s going to happen your pH might

become a little bit more acidic and if

the pH is more acidic what happens is

you don’t hold the calcium as much and

that could you could make you feel like

it’s crawling which interest what’s

interesting about that is accounts and

efficiency and a calcium excess can

actually give you the same symptom so I

think it’s a calcium deficiency so what

I think you should do

add a little calcium not the magnesium

you can go with more of the calcium

right before bed and see if that

crawling goes away it’s it’s either

calcium or you might need an omega-3 but

I think your pH is a little too acidic

and we need to like alkyl as it just a

little bit okay all right thanks for

calling all right Karen okay over to you

okay good I have three so the first one

is does MCT oil in a drink in whatever

while you’re fasting break your fast

okay so it depends how much you have if

you have a teaspoon probably not if you

have a lot yes because it’s a fat and

you got to think like this anything that

requires a bit of calories to digest

will spike the insulin but if we’re

actually going to compare let’s say a

tablespoon of MCT oil versus not a right

or 1/4 of a glass of orange juice it’s

gonna be the oil is going to be

insignificant so it’s gonna be very

minor so it’ll be a little thing but not

nearly what the juice will do it or any

type of sweet or carbohydrate I mean if

you had celery for example a stick of

celery I will promise you that you’re

not gonna stimulate incident too much

right because the whole breaking of the

fast thing is really the question of not

is it breaking my fast but is it spiking

insulin and how much insulin is it

spiking right yeah yes but if you’re

eating in general it will increase

insulin but the point is that it really

has to do with how much we’re eating

like if you were to if you have a

problem with high insulin and you do

these massive meals

let’s see your intimate fasting and

you’re trying to cram everything down

your throat

you’re eating one meal a day and you’re

going too fast you’re gonna spike

insulin because you haven’t adapted yet

fully so you just it’s a matter of not

over stuffing yourself as well because

it can spike insulin so okay it’s a

little balance there Karen okay good

well I have another question and this

one is from Linda on YouTube she says

her husband had a quadruple bypass he

has high blood pressure he has high

cholesterol can he do kita okay I was

waiting for that question Karen yes

that’s uh that’s kind of like falls into

the syndrome X or it’s called metabolic

syndrome which is a combination between

high blood pressure high cholesterol

high blood glucose and belly fat okay

and it’s so almost hysterical to if you

do to a search on this Wikipedia which I

don’t even know who wrote this but so

called the experts but it’ll say there’s

we found there there’s an association

between high insulin and metabolic

syndrome no no no it’s not an

association it’s a cause that problem is

coming directly from a cause which is

high insulin it’s not complex it’s not

unknown insulin will cause that because

if you look under hyperinsulinemia which

is high insulin high blood pressure

stiffening arteries belly fat high

cholesterol so if someone asked me do I

need Aikido well because you’re not

doing keto that’s why you have the

problem it is the only solution that you

can do because you want to drop the carb

I mean think about it

sugars go high and even if you have

diabetes sugars go high hello what do

you need to do you need to drop those

sugars don’t eat sugar but people aren’t

focusing on that it’s like obvious it’s

the elephant in the room if you have to

drop the sugar so yes do keto intamin

fasting and watch what happens it’ll be

quite miraculous it’s good for the heart

perfect and one more okay I have I think

it’s an may on facebook saying too many

vegetables kills my gut I tried

carnivore feel amazing but got blood

work done and have high elevated or have

elevated kidney levels could my kidneys

be messed up from dehydration so well I

history but I’m just gonna just what I

have I’m gonna tell you that if you have

a problem digesting vegetables then go

with fermented vegetables okay fermented

vegetables now here’s the thing that one

of the goals of eating vegetables is to

you know provide some fiber so maybe

you’re gonna have to stick with the type

of like I don’t know romaine lettuce can

you do that versus all these other

complex vegetables that you probably

don’t have the bacteria to digest so do

that give your your microfiber but then

you need the nutrients so there’s really

only one food that has more nutrients

than vegetables and I want I wanna see

if anyone can guess it right on Facebook

or YouTube so go ahead and okay tell me

get to the bottom here guys we have a

quiz before so tell me what food has way

more nutrients okay then vegetables get

to the bottom here go ahead and give me

your comment and as they come in Karen

tell me so here’s the question is

pickled the same as fermented yeah yeah

yep I mean I’m looking at my computer

yes eggs kale up we got 521 here on

YouTube says liver okay you were right

okay

it’s organ meats yeah so you you may

argue a grass-fed organ meat like a

liverwurst or or some type of kidney and

brain and I know that might sound

disgusting but I’m telling you that will

actually give you the nutrients and it’s

actually easier to digest then

vegetables for a lot of people okay so

do that right now and you might have to

just substitute for some of the other

minerals that you would normally get

from vegetables so kidney and brain I

just want to take it back a second

kidney they used to do this a long time

rain yeah you can you make a burger out

of that you make a burger burger a

burger brain perk now personally I

wouldn’t I can’t do that but some people

like it I think it knew that but why you

try that but it I’m just telling you how

to get the nutrients okay I’m just the

messenger care right now she couldn’t

right now with the kidney problem doing

an imminent fasting

probably the best thing for the kidney

you can do to help the kidney and of

course the little car because think

about Karen think about what destroys

the kidney hi sugar so low sugar diets

are good for the kidney okay okay

alright so now I need to go to Randy

from Illinois go ahead Randy hey Dad I’m

on the keto on the internet fasting and

sometimes I wake up and the new meal I’m

not hungry but what I do is do a up you

know replacement shake and do your

electrolyte mix with the juice powder

blend those two together we’re good then

I take your B vitamins my question is is

it okay to go from one meal of data to

meal a day or should I continue like

with I’m not hungry at noon just due to

meal replacement and the electrolytes

and the Jews and would you rather have

me go all the way till five or six and

that do the ID the the shakes for by

nutrition in the afternoon I think you

asked a really good question Randy and

here’s the answer the rule of thumb that

we need to think about is if you’re not

hungry Randy don’t eat why because

you’re actually in ketosis so as soon as

you eat regardless if it’s a protein

shake or whatever or a meal replacement

it’s going to spike insulin so just

don’t ride the wave go as long as till

you can - you’re not hungry it’s really

healthy to do in a minute fasting so

yeah I wouldn’t eat something if you’re

not hungry at all now if you’re doing a

shake meal replacement just make sure

that you adds a little fat in there

that’s the only thing because sometimes

the protein like I have a meal

replacement with MCT oil that’s in there

already so adds the fat because you

don’t want to just a protein powder

strictly so yeah don’t eat if you’re not

hungry Randy I’m telling you don’t do it

okay now we’re gonna go to Sandra from

Southern Maryland had a question about

go ahead yes hi I’m guess I’m confused

on whether or not you can have the MCT

oil like a tablespoon if you’re fasting

and not eating your first meal till like

noon or 1:00 okay you mean in the coffee

uh yeah I’m hoping that I can still have

the coffee with the MCT oil as well as

bone broth even until my first meal at

like noon or 1:00 o’clock yeah you can

do that sandrov totally fine it’s

working for you great the only only

point I want to bring up about the

bulletproof coffee which you can add MCT

at butter or coconut oil is that let’s

say you do this and you plateau and

you’re not losing inches or weight and

your metabolism just sucks okay what you

could do is you can omit the fat in the

coffee and go a little longer because

it’s a little bit of a meal so that’s

just one point but if you’re still

losing and everything’s going great ride

the wave keep the coffee in there keep

the MCT oils and not a problem and even

the bone broth okay good question all

right Karen have you a question

well odd versus some information because

you know we said someone’s like it’s

pickled the same as fermented and we

said yes and then someone said no it’s

not so I did a quick search and actually

some pickled is fermented and some

fermented is pickled or whatever but

there is a difference here like a

cucumber is just thrown into a brine but

fermented food really has this bacterial

right action going so just to clarify

for you canning experts out there

fermented vegetables definitely a little

different than pickling well I think

that when you do the bubbies brand pick

that means and also the sauerkraut which

is the best I think you’re gonna get a

lot of friendly bacteria in there in

fact Karen yeah if you’re doing the

sauerkraut which I love you realize that

you’re getting her cup you’re getting

seven hundred milligrams of vitamin C

from from sauerkraut did not realize do

you know what a normal amount

the requirements that you would need

know it’s like 70 to 90 okay so

basically you’re getting 10 times the

vitamin C and sauerkraut Wow well and I

can tell you I’ve made sauerkraut before

and it’s the easiest thing on the planet

to make it is literally you throw

something can you make some more later

today you know what every once in a

while I buy the cabbage

and then I I just forget or we use it in

something else but I can do that about a

minute in there

and you literally forget about it great

for the gums it’s good for your to your

connective tissue around your teeth and

yeah it’s good okay okay so Erica you’re

from Portland Oregon go ahead you’re up

you’re on hey can I call I am just I’ve

heard some a lot of things this morning

that kind of helped a little bit been

doing this since last February I have

lost about 58 pounds and without a

gallbladder

I have PCOS and have never been

diagnosed with diabetes but did have one

doctor send me to go have my fasting

blood sugar and insulin done and blood

sugar has never really been too much of

a problem in the past my anyone feel it

comes back totally fine

like 4.8 or something and but the

insulin like spiked and stayed there and

just and she’s like okay we definitely

have a problem at that time she just

it’s gonna have to be diet or medication

what you choose but there’s no turn have

to do something with that kind of

insulin problem yeah hey remember what

it is what your insulin was the level I

don’t I don’t have a number okay so I do

less than or equal to 25 net carbs a day

and I have lemon juice and a CD in the

morning like prettier it’s like early 8

o’clock boned off with boned off and a

somatic collagen so that’s my morning

saying and then

coffee just recently was trying to set

that out a little later in the day like

11:30 because we do put tablespoon of

butter MCT and heavy cream in there

so I figured that might be stalling some

weight loss since I’ve only lost about a

little over half of what I need to lose

and then no snacking or anything and

then a small snack sized lunch with

powdered greens and my supplements at

that time and then dinner at 6:30 like

kind of a small snacking lunch with

dinner I didn’t know it I thought

possibly develop off in that group oh

the ACV lemon juice was maybe spiking

the blood sugar

I took it recently I just laughs this

week last week and numbers that were

crazy I’m fasting one 146 in the morning

81 before taking anything and then 129

this week and then I decided to that was

after 13 hours of fasting from dinner

and then total 8 o’clock and then I

waited that whole day and didn’t do

anything at all I think I’m trying to

remember if I did my bone broth and the

ACD but I didn’t have the vault copy to

a mints I checked at 4 o’clock and it

was still at 118 okay so I’m gonna give

one hour yeah alright this is a really

good question because here you are

everything’s going great but but they

checked your insulin is high and I’m

telling you I think the majority of the

population has high insulin and that’s

like the thing that’s behind the scene

because doctors never check it high

insulin will will push the sugars down

and make it even look low or normal

sometimes too depending what’s going on

but the fact that you’ve been on this

for a year and it’s still or it’s high

we have nothing to compare it to them

you’re gonna have to do a little bit

stricter in a minute fasting to go to

probably go to one and a half or one

meals a day

one meal a day ok and the reason for

that is in a minute fasting will

definitely drop your insulin down

faster than anything so that’s what

you’re gonna have to work up to the bone

broth is a bit of protein only have that

with the meal as part of your protein

the other thing that you would do is

there’s two trace minerals zinc and

chromium both of those minerals are

really awesome to help support the

pancreas and help reduce instance so

those are two things you might want to

add to the mix but yeah you’re gonna

have to go strict with your fasting and

then do that for like a month and then

recheck it and it should come down if

not call me alright very good and Karen

yeah what we’re gonna do is we’re going

to reveal right now the best nut and

then at the very end we’ll release the

best berry so I so we’re gonna split

this up so I want everyone to type down

what you think the absolute best nut to

consume on a ketogenic diet would be

okay so as people are typing that I’m

gonna go to J Fort Lauderdale you had a

question about berberine

right berberine berberine yeah I made

you that’s me oh yeah just give you a

little background on them you know

forty-year-old pretty healthy you know

bodybuilder you know below 10% body fat

I work out regularly cardio and lifting

weights and lately it becoming a lot of

issues with high blood sugars I measure

it daily by blood is under 120 to 130 I

have a history of family diabetes so

basically what I did about a month ago

as I fasted for five days a straight

water fast and would jump right into

into a ketogenic diet informating which

I only eat between the hours of 12 8 and

then 16 hour break I’m still having a

hard time getting my sugar levels down

so I was wondering how long in your

experience does it take for you to

experience a drop in your blood sugars

because I have a feeling that I’m just

maybe becoming a type 2 diabetic somehow

and I don’t know if because of use of

human growth hormone that I use

regularly and HGH at a very low dose

about two units a day so I’m not sure

why my blood sugar levels are not

and I still have ketones because I do I

do mention in my blood every day and I

mean ketosis but my blood sugar levels

are still high so question what is your

sugar what is the level the levels are

in the range between 120 to 130 okay

every morning fasted okay with ketones

in the past when I did a ketogenic diet

they will go down to the 50s 60s but now

I just can’t seem to get them down and

I’m taking chromium picolinate and

taking alpha lipoic acid the art form as

well to assist with that and I sometimes

take berberine which is a natural

alternative to metformin when I know I’m

gonna have a meal and I probably won’t

enjoy like a glass of wine or just like

a small piece of car like a small piece

of bread I usually take the berberine

before the meal which I understand it

helps with the controlling the sugar

levels after a meal okay Jay I think I

know the problem okay are you sitting

down okay good I am good it’s the

alcohol

it’s the snack it’s a little bit of

bread that you’re eating the Bourbon is

not strong enough to counter that

because here’s the thing if you consume

a little bit of the wrong thing you’re

gonna raise insulin insulin is the

dominating hormone let’s say you have

berberine or or some other thing to try

to counter it this is dominating insulin

is dominating so all it takes is a

little bit of the negative to drowned

out all the good so if you really are

serious about getting a blood Sugar’s

down you’re gonna have to be a hundred

percent clean no little snacks no

alcohol no little anything okay and then

if it still doesn’t work right away J

all that means is you need to do it

longer because you’ve been on for a

short bit of time you just ride the wave

sometimes it takes a few months before

it kicks in and then you can stay on

that very consistently so that’s all you

need to do yeah there are different

there’s even like go through and there’s

different herbs and plants that you can

take but I would work go to the basics

first before you start adding all these

other things okay get the diet cleaned

really good but thanks for calling and

it’s a really good important point and

Karen what kind of answers are we

getting we are primarily getting pecan

walnut macadamia someone threw into some

seeds here which isn’t really a nut but

sunflower seeds but those are the three

okay yeah so first thing I’m going to

tell you Karen is the worst nut oh it’s

the cashew those are so yummy the net

the net carb on that is like in the 20s

there one nut ya know in a cup cup yeah

that’s a lot of nuts I know I’m just

telling you it relatively speaking must

be less yes between 20 and 30 I I can’t

tell you the exact number but okay the

point is that the cashew is the worst

nut the best nut hands-down that has the

lowest carb and a good amount of fat is

the drumroll pecan bomb yeah so pecan is

the winner

okay okay and in just a couple minutes

we’re gonna do the next one the best

berry okay state - yeah this is unlike

edge of my seat right yeah I’m excited

yeah okay so now you guys can answer the

question while I’m gonna have like talk

to this person try to type back what is

the absolute hands-down best berry you

can eat and I’m gonna let you know if

you’re correct okay okay now let’s go to

Jenn you’ve been on hold for 23 minutes

go ahead Jim and it was worth every

minute can you hear me yes okay I love

you but don’t be quick to it so somebody

else can get in and I think with you

answered Randy’s call it kind of

answered my question but it’s far as me

being on keto and not having an appetite

I am concerned about getting my

nutrition in right and I don’t know how

I mean I have bought all your products

my husband makes fun of me it looks like

the doctor Berg store in my kitchen

and then I felt like I was taking too

many pills so I’m wondering if I could

just use your meal replacement shakes

and the kale shakes and then just kind

of dump the vitamins in the shake will

that help me get the nutrition that I

need or is it safe to just literally not

eat okay well here’s the thing you can

take the nutrition on an empty stomach

you don’t have to take it with meals did

you know that no there’s a lot of it

says take with your meal get all these

items in I know I probably I should have

clarified that so you can take them on

an empty stomach not a problem I

probably don’t want you to do a meal

replacement to take put them in there I

just want you to do that do the

nutrients and again if you’re not hungry

don’t eat I think I think you’re doing

great I don’t think you just that you

know people have this idea they have to

have excuse me just take nutrients with

food but the only time you do that as

maybe with the gall bladder formula and

the digestive formula those two right

there because that actually acidified

sturino I have your adrenal kit okay

okay so you Tim you have the gall

bladder formula so you would just take

that after your one meal and then you’re

good so you don’t to take that other

than that I think you do just one meal

or two meal I’d have to do like a 16-8

because I really just don’t have an

appetite I can’t force it all in and in

a short period so this I kind of been

relying on the shakes and then I add

some MCT oil and maybe try to get like

two hard-boiled eggs down with it just

to kind of keep my fat out but literally

I’m trying to get seven cups of salad

but by time I’m in my second cup I feel

like I’m gonna get sick of eight one

more bite so yeah I know I know don’t

force it do as much as you can and I

think with the extra enhancement is

probably going to compensate fine but I

really like to what’s really easy for me

as I blend the kale you just put some of

this or even the wheatgrass juice in

there blend the kale and you could

liquefy that kale and drink it it’s

easier and go right in there and you’re

good for the you know half of the day

anyway

but yeah that’s a situation but the

other thing that Karen is doing now

which is a great idea by the way for

your salads pork rinds man I had it the

other day that was really good

so yeah so I want to explain this right

so we what were we putting on that was

so good you well the feta cheat you put

the cheese you put the what else you had

a little nuts on there you had yeah

onion well over the holiday we had that

onion the organic onions draw or

whatever from wherever we got it and

that have very very low carbon I would

put it on just as a little crunchy you

know I do knots and stuff like that

slivered really tiny nuts and ran out of

that and we ended up with some pork

rinds and I thought you know what I just

gonna crunch these up a bit and sprinkle

them on my salad and I’m on tell you it

was really good I was surprised it’s

really good yeah and make sure you get

the no MSG pork rinds put some salt on

there actually it’s already salted yeah

but it’s quite good yeah it’s just a

nice little flavor and some fat yeah so

it’s just like you eat you don’t

normally like eating large salads but

you even told me that you would I wish I

could have another salad well I did have

another salad you did but you know

another thing too for people who are

trying to get more salad in maybe are

already doing this but this was a trick

for me because I felt the same way I

mean obviously you know I started

blending a lot of my green so I would do

maybe four or five cups of greens just

in my kale shake but for this salad when

I was getting used to eating that much

salad they have these great they’re like

scissors sort of that chop up your

lettuce and it just makes them into much

smaller pieces and out of for me it’s a

lot easier to eat a lot more greens you

know it’s like half the volume once

you’re done chopping it and it’s just a

tip but it might help you yeah and also

one ounce equals one cup so you’re

talking a bag is five maybe it could be

five to eight cups but here’s the other

thing here

when you

consuming salad yeah okay versus other

vegetables yeah you need less vegetables

per salad with just salad that again

if you just have salad you’re gonna need

more salad if you have only vegetables

you could get by with less so you might

be like yeah you can probably get by

with like 5 cups of vegetable verses 8

to 10 cups of salad they’re kind of the

same kind of a comparison with nutrition

there’s a little bit more nutrition than

vegetables than they’re just regular

salad I mean the thing is though you

know when I eat vegetables usually I

cook them lightly I mean unless it’s

green peppers or something like that I’m

not gonna have 5 cups of raw Brussels

sprouts I’m gonna cook them what’s wrong

with that Karen well I don’t know no

yeah of course not you’re gonna I’m

talking about like green beans and bell

peppers and that’s still yeah yeah so

just a tip is that - okay I have some

questions it’s been a while since you’ve

come to us in social media Lee go ahead

okay good so I have oh do you want to

know about the berries or not yet no

yeah Karen okay that’s the last question

it’s a last question yeah fair enough

fair enough okay so I have a couple of

here we have Ross from YouTube and he’s

saying that after his breakfast in the

morning when his sugar Rises it

manifests for him as anxiety and it

lasts about 45 minutes and that has been

happening for the last almost a month 24

days so he wants to know what can he do

that’s a adrenal issue because what

happens when the blood sugars start

dropping the adrenals compensate and

they’re trying to bring up this sugar to

bring up the for the loss of sugar so

it’s really and then you experience a

little adrenaline adrenal symptoms

shakiness and all these other symptoms

that’s really what’s happening so what

you have to do and I did a video on this

you have to go about it a little bit

slower back up a little bit maybe you

start with 3

instead of two or two meals instead of

one support your dream get more sleep go

for long walks do acupressure on the

adrenals with this device here I have a

whole technique and then the other thing

that you can do is add the nutritional

yeast at the meal or even during the

that sensation so that will actually

calm it down pretty nice and of course

potassium but mainly would be vitamins

but it’s really an adrenal issue that’s

all it is and over time that will

improve it will give it more time okay

okay good good so on Facebook Beverly is

freezing all the time now she doesn’t

say is she on keto or doing intermittent

fasting I can only assume but regardless

she’s freezing all the time well that’s

because number one she lives in Alaska

and it’s winter and she left her coat

yeah so that’s that’s the reason so just

wear more clothes okay you probably

didn’t gonna been a fast and you’re

getting colder so that’s part of the

adaptational tabal ism is adjusting so I

would just in the meantime

ride the wave it will get better over

time but on an occasion it could be the

adrenal because there’s something called

the sympathetic nervous system that gets

activated with the adrenal that’s

underneath the whole thing and sometimes

that could make you feel really cold on

your feet in your fingers in which case

you have to support the adrenals with

nutrition I have a lot of videos on that

but yeah oh let’s make that point

there’s videos on everything literally I

mean other than the really technical

individual questions there is a video on

pretty much every question that’s asked

either in the lab group or on these live

shows and the phone calls lots of videos

already done on things so the YouTube

and Facebook you have links above or

below they don’t so type anything in

order to type anything just click the

link now if you click that link right

now it’s going to take you outside of

the live show so that you can get this

summary of videos which is a male

using that this has been organized and

compiled into one document but you come

come right back then yeah so now I need

Lisa’s been on the call so Lisa you’re

from Virginia Beach go ahead yeah that’s

not a question I’ve been on the keto

diet for the past year and my 13 year

old daughter she also is on it but I

said never to come back and she has high

cholesterol yeah and I was saying I know

that you said about this the fat and the

cholesterol in the cell yeah and the

cholesterol doesn’t go anywhere or

something I want to exist the wrong diet

for her is the cholesterol just push the

lower but she’s not losing any weight

either how old is she I don’t thirteen

thirteen in does she have a lot of

weight to lose about thirty pounds okay

is she is she doing the keto correctly

and is she doing in a minute fasting

well if she does in a minute fasting

like today she carried him with her she

didn’t need any breakfast so mate I was

sleep plus I think he’s at 11 o’clock

maybe 12 or 13 hours of fasting because

he is she doing best a lot of bags and

or salad well we we salad that in easy

time every two cups of salad you know 13

years and I don’t eat too many

vegetables anyway yeah so I try to get

her to eat like you know a couple

couplers you know vegetables in the

evening time got it other than that you

know we eggs and bacon doing this you

know weekend and I’m not sure it is too

much you know cholesterol huge yeah you

know here’s the thing

I want you to I want you and her to go

the YouTube and type under the

cholesterol dr. Burke and just watch

those videos because you need all you

need the whole picture

but as she’s losing the cholesterol I

mean the fat from the fat cell part of

that’s gonna be cholesterol so it’s

going to increase initially it’s not a

bad thing it has to come out but if she

doesn’t have the amount of vegetables it

might stay up higher it’s not an issue

because the type of cholesterol is

probably the type that is more

called fluffy or buoyant type a

cholesterol which watch the videos

understand what that means it’s just

going through the body but the whole

goal is to drop the carbs down so then

the cholesterol can come out so she

needs to do maybe the kale shake to get

to start cleaning it out better but and

then she should start noticing the

clothes start shrinking and less hungry

and less craving for sweets okay so do

that Lisa and then let us know next next

week how it how it goes okay so now can

we ask for a drumroll please do we have

a drumroll we have a drumroll absolute

best Barry can you tell us the feedback

Karen well I can tell you what the

answers are and they’re all over the

mouth there yes we have got Himalayan

goji we’ve got a SIA blackberry

blueberry strawberry raspberry it’s all

over the place and so I thought you were

gonna tell us the worst berry for I’m

gonna tell you the worst berry is the

blueberry no yes

not the blueberry now when I say worst

what hold on everybody’s everybody are

like what is what the heck wait a sec

I’m just comparing the two berry you can

still do the berries I’m just telling

you if you wanted to go extreme kedo

take it to the next level Stream that’s

gonna be our next closed group yeah

extreme kiddo and you want to really be

fanatic about your carbs and you want to

take it down a little bit lower switch

from blueberry to the best berry which

is the blackberry blackberry is the

winner now I’m gonna give you the

second-to-last berry as well what do you

mean raspberry is that raspberry and

blackberries they’re almost tied but

blackberries are just a little bit

better they’re like really low on the

sugar scale alright okay okay good

and I we’re getting that this is that is

it really that time it’s that time okay

guys thank you so much for watching I

appreciate your attention great
