welcome back everyone anything that i

say is definitely not meant to diagnose

you just to give you

general information check with your

doctor before implementing any of these

things that we’re going to talk about

since they’re they may oppose

conventional medical care

all right steve well can you hear me i

sure can and audience thanks for your uh

patience with us our show blew up on the

launch pad last week but we were all

bigger and better and uh we were

unfortunately not able to answer uh

julian was it

is it julia’s so let me go through that

steve because um julian had a question i

wasn’t able to answer so we’re finally

going to get to his question

you know he’s um

he’s doing keto he’s consuming a certain

amount of protein and he had a question

about his protein so

showed me the formula you need um 0.7

grams of protein

per

pound of body weight okay to come up

with this

his formula to figure out his proteins

which is i think um he just just keeps

having too much protein right so

i i found an error in his math it’s it’s

basically it’s 0.7 grams of protein per

kilogram not per pound body weight

so that changes everything so he weighs

160 pounds

so that means he’s 73 kilograms so if we

do the math on that

just 73 kilograms times 0.7 grams of

protein

that only comes down to 50.9 grams of

protein he needs instead of the

you know over a hundred

so he was doing he was consuming like a

dozen eggs and

he was consuming um i guess

sardines and additional proteins so so

really

julian what you need to do is um you

only need to have seven

point two eggs per day to get your

amount of protein you need so

you just have to work it out in

kilograms um

so that should answer your question

because if you have too much protein um

and even using eggs which give you the

best quality of protein that means like

half

a little bit over half of that protein

converts to sugar so

you know that’s the problem with doing

too much protein

it’s not like eating sugar for sure but

it’s definitely it’s going to be turning

into waste ore

or glucose as energy so

any

way

that would answer your question and

clarify

that challenge that you’re running into

wonderful thanks doc and i know julian’s

been very patient with us so we

appreciate getting that out to him steve

not me from facebook how much mct oil

should i put in my coffee and will it

break my fast

i would do um a tablespoon a tablespoon

of mct if you do too much you’ll have

diarrhea or loose bowels um but yeah you

can do a tablespoon

if you exercise you know add another

tablespoon it’ll give you more energy

because it’s going to generate ketones

if you go too much too much mct oil

you’re going to burn that

as your fuel

more than your own body fat and if

you’re trying to

increase your weight or maintain your

weight then that’s totally fine but if

you’re trying to lose weight uh you want

be careful about these extra added fats

all right that’s great and anush

from youtube in this case

and this is an off to ask question and i

know what you’re going to say do how do

i calculate my daily calorie intake to

lose weight and reverse a fatty liver

anush weighs 157 pounds and is a

four point nine four a feet nine inches

you know i think the best way to answer

that is to go to our website drbird.com

and i just happen to

have a new

keto calculator which you’ll you can

fill out and um

it’s in the drop down menu under uh

ketos ketone keto i think it is and you

just basically take that quiz and it’ll

actually get information from you

your age

[Music]

your weight

your height

and it’ll give you

a good idea of how many calories you

really should be consuming based on

the ketogenic diet so it’s a keto

calculator it’s new i haven’t promoted

it because

i wanted to just really make sure all

the bugs are worked out it doesn’t seem

like there is a lot of bugs but

if you want to go there and check it out

definitely check it out because that’ll

tell you about the calories even though

calories are not um

really as important as just you know

eating and just feeling satisfied

well that’s wonderful listen we have

coming to us all the way from

centerville iowa a nice guy named uh

adam and he’s on with you in the dr

burke show go ahead with your question

adam

okay gotta unmute yourself sir

sorry about that hello dr berg hello i

have uh been doing keto since

thanksgiving

i’ve lost about

70 pounds intermittent fasting and keto

wow that’s amazing

a little frozen up we’ll wait for him

hopefully he’ll come through

lost about 70 pounds and have been

watching your videos following you and

what you have

i do want to lose about another

20 or 30 pounds but i’ve had a couple

issues that have come up

for starters

about the last three three and a half

weeks my weight hasn’t dropped

and

i have

the more i’ve been listening to you the

more i’ve understood more on health

than just weight loss and so i’ve been

trying to put priority on that

uh however since i’ve started this i

have noticed

that i have times that happened that

happen daily uh where i am dizzy almost

fainty

okay

uh and so by the time i eat my daily

meal and i’m down to one meal a day by

the time i

dr burke i’m going to mute him go ahead

and eat my daily meal i feel like i i

need to just lay down and rest

or i’m going to

well yeah over

yeah so um

the most likely

okay so um it’s not coming through but

i’m gonna i know i think i know what

you’re trying to ask

yeah i think um um you have to

i think that you definitely need

electrolytes but it could be you need

more salt um and sea salt um

that’s really the key thing with feeling

dizzy and disoriented especially if

you’re drinking a lot of water and you

start keto because you dump all this

fluid and now we also dump all the

electrolytes so if you’re already doing

um sea salt then i would do the

potassium electrolyte drink um and of

course

i’m going to recommend mine but

but here’s the thing with sea salt they

you do that

okay

okay of salt

of your

electrolyte potassium okay are you doing

sea salt

i’ve used sea salt on my food eggs

and uh even a little bit on my salad

okay then then this is really simple i

think i would just um

beef up no pun intended more sea salt

and that will

help you and so there’s there’s also you

can get sea salt tablets i i only

recommend that

if you’re very deficient but i think

you may want to just um with the

electrolyte powder

take about

an eighth of a teaspoon of sea salt

and dissolve that into the electrolyte

powder because it sounds like you need

more sodium if you feel kind of dizzy

and things like that so

do that a few times a day

because here’s the thing if you actually

take a lot of potassium without that

sodium um that will make your sodium a

little bit

lower

so that so anything with dizziness low

blood pressure um i would go with that

the other thing you want to do realize

is that you might need b1 b1 could also

create that dizziness especially if you

get up and you feel disoriented

and like

it’s called um pots

but that’s really a b1 deficiency

if you feel light-headed especially if

you get up too quickly

those are two things that normally

should fix that problem

um if you still have a problem then we

need to get more information and come on

next week and we’ll

dissect a little bit more but i think

that’s what i would do

sodium and b1

and don’t forget a little nutrition i’ll

do that a little nutritional yeast there

andy i personally recommend it great

stuff calm you right down sorry we had

trouble with your transmission but i

hope uh dr berg was able to answer your

question and let’s go on to

another question often well not tell you

what why don’t we talk about who’s

coming to us and from where first of all

we will be having oscar who’s in mexico

city with us

we will also have

monica who’s coming from slovakia i

think and then you know people all over

the place but in the meantime other

people coming to us are from the uk

canada india france philippines norway

greece israel mexico high mexico bermuda

south africa italy pakistan saudi arabia

sweden egypt cameroon chile

algeria morocco germany japan ghana

taiwan and all across these united

states and uh he already said canada so

welcome everybody thanks for joining the

show

and let’s move on okay rubia from

youtube i’m doing keto and i

intermittent fasting and adding apple

cider vinegar before i break my fast i’m

still getting

right shoulder pain and gall bladder

discomfort any suggestions

yeah you what you’re going to need is

more of a bile salt

a purifier salt the gallbladder formula

and you want to take that

with food and also on the empty stomach

and you may need

to take two an empty stomach twice a day

to kind of open up the bile ducts and to

get more flow through there because that

apple cider vinegar will

increase your production of bile but you

might need just more bile to get you

started

speaking about bile steve you know

normally when i have breakfast

i it’s always important

to read the labels i always like to read

labels and i couldn’t could you believe

a i mean this has like two grams of fat

incredible but the good thing is it has

no cholesterol at all so i’m excited

about that

um but the reason i’m just showing you

the label on this is that i found

something that i’m gonna i just did a

video this morning if you look at the

back of the label or the side of the

label on some of these products recent

recently you’ll see it says contains

bio

now bio-engineered

food ingredients

yum bio-engineered food ingredients

that’s going to be

an interesting video for people because

uh steve have you ever heard of that

before

uh no i don’t believe i have

this is a nicer way of saying it has gmo

foods

now

what there’s a lot of loopholes or some

really interesting information about it

but

stay tuned for the video that i’m going

to release in about two days on

genetically modified because they were

going to just about to

pass a law that

you know more and more states need to

label and be more transparent gmo but

the food manufacturing companies beat

them to the punch and came up with a new

term so now

it doesn’t sound like gmo foods it

sounds a little bit better in the and

the little symbol that they’ll use is

this beautiful sun the sun with a

like a little plant with a nice farm

seems really nice so that way you think

you’re getting a really great health

food product

well anyway it’s it’s an interesting

thing start you have to start reading

labels

and really uh

understand what what you’re putting in

your mouth

now remember doc tricks are for kids now

i don’t know how many people in the

audience are old enough to remember that

slogan but anyway they do put all these

euphemistic things up right to make you

think you’re getting the best stuff but

let’s go with our first quiz question

doc

all right all right which type of food

is missing if you have

dry

lips

dry lips audience dig into that and

why don’t we go to mexico city

and uh go with oscar hang on just a

second oscar unmute yourself and you’re

on with dr berg

there you go

hello hi oscar

how are you great

great well first of all thanks for

everything that you do dr burke and let

me tell you about my situation my

question i have been experiencing now i

think that is restless leg syndrome for

the past three years and it has really

affected the quality of my life and

while living in mexico city with this

syndrome has been challenging because i

haven’t found any doctor that knows

about this condition and i have done

every possible blood test for instance

of my body and every exam that i have

been told and well i haven’t found

anything wrong in my body

but the pain continues in my legs and

even one doctor

suggested me to use expect drugs because

they thought that it was something

related to emotions or things like that

and well last december it was when i

found the information about restless

legs and i was like okay that’s the

symptoms that i’ve been feeling now now

it has a name right

and that’s how research about this

syndrome i found your videos

and now it’s it has been a month and a

half that i have been taking four

thousand and seven hundred milligrams of

potassium

a spoon of magnesium and uh apple

vinegar twice a day

and also it has been a week that i

started taking nutritional genes twice a

day

and well i haven’t really felt any

improvement but i still think that this

is a restless leg syndrome due to the

fact that doctors have told me that

there is nothing wrong with my body

and also the pain

feels like almost everything and the

websites share uh several less right and

well my question

is that i am wondering if i am missing

anything

any data or how can i improve condition

as it prevents

new symptoms in my feet when i am

walking is of restless legs or is or if

it is something else so i was wondering

if you can tell me something to to guide

me towards to answers or towards to a

solution sure what what time is it now

you’re in mexico right

yeah in mexico it is 10 24

pm or am

am okay

um yesterday

um what did you eat yesterday what was

the foods that you ate yesterday

yesterday i ate a chicken

chicken i i am now eating a lot of

vegetables

i stopped eating i don’t know how to say

in english but um

but like sausages and things with with

salt

like yesterday i stopped eating things

that have like salt and i’m just i’m

just eating salt but

ocean salt i don’t know how to say it

and

and well that that’s it but and also

yeah yeah yeah but i’m taking care of of

of the food that i am meeting

okay so um recently have you been eating

any carbohydrates like um like any type

of um

carbohydrates that could be like sugars

or or flour products anything like that

yeah i mean carbohydrates

like pasta

pasta and

but rice

but i don’t eat a lot of like sugar

things let’s say like every once in a

while i take the the half of a donut

let’s say

the

but not regularly

okay

you drink any soda

okay good

uh any alcohol

okay good

so this is a really good example of like

someone has a a symptom and they want a

remedy for it

what you’re going to have to do to fix

this is you’re going to have to get

on the basic healthy version of the

ketogenic diet that i recommend because

you’re taking the remedies but the

foundation isn’t created enough those

refined carbohydrates in the form of the

rice and the pasta unfortunately deplete

you

of vitamin b1

not to mention potassium so really it’s

the b1 that you need because that

actually helps you get rid of the what’s

called lactic acid in your legs

um but if you’re still doing the carbs

that is going to

kind of negate or or nullify

those supplements so

this is going to be very very simple

get my book

start reading on how to do this right

get off those carbs

and give it a little bit of time

and then

watch what happens to your less restless

legs cause i used to have that condition

really to the point where i was pounding

my legs at night because it the middle

night i’m like i can’t sleep and i had

to go run to get this energy out it was

driving crazy um but i was doing a lot

of the breads of pasta cereal crackers

biscuits waffles pancakes right now i

know um

for some people watching it might be

hard to believe that in mexico they do

carbs but they do sometimes like carbs

tortillas and rice and yeah totally

occasionally but

yeah that’s that’s gonna have to you’re

gonna have to find an alternative to

that like um

some keto friendly breads

perfect perfect so so the idea is to

that is that’s the only thing you’re

missing uh and you probably will find

out you don’t even need any supplements

because that foundation is um

not not put in there yet

perfect

so the way to go with that

is for books that let’s say yeah but in

the meantime if you just go to my

website

right on my website on the front page dr

brewer.com and scroll down there should

be a um what to eat uh document and you

can download that and start today

so i’m

i putting that

like a guy perfect

awesome

okay so thank you thank you

you’re welcome

and keep you posted okay let me know

go oscar go

uh mexico city all right let’s see where

we’re at here uh we’re still waiting for

our answer to the first question but in

the meantime allison from facebook

what’s the best way to address

hypothyroidism

most hypothyroidism is hashimoto’s it’s

an autoimmune

and the key mineral that you would want

to take is not iodine it’s selenium

selenium helps you convert

but also you need to

make sure you have no gluten in the diet

gluten

really

can mimic

certain things and mimic

the thyroid so your body then will

attack attack it as a

and

a foreign thing

and um it kind of makes things worse

basically um not to mention messes with

your gut

so watch my video on hashimoto’s there’s

several other things you need to do but

it’s really not a thyroid problem it’s a

secondary problem it’s an immune problem

so if you keep treating treating it as a

thyroid and just take

synthroid or t4 or whatever

and wonder why you don’t get better

it could be because you’re treating

uh the symptom and not the underlying

root problem which really um with

hashimoto’s you want better conversion

of that t4 to t3 the active form of the

thyroid hormone i have a lot of videos

on it so um you can go into that and do

a deep dive

that’s terrific okay doc speaking of the

first quiz question we do have some

answers and it was asking which type of

food is missing

uh if you have dry lips and the audience

suggested 30 percent say omega-3s or

fatty fish 25 say foods with magnesium

20 say vitamin

b vitamin foods 20 safe foods with

magnesium boy a lot of answers five

percent say vitamin c foods and five

percent finally say vitamin a foods

terry thank you for that great breakdown

okay so when you get to dry lips um you

have um

it’s not a lack of water it’s a lack of

fats and omega-3

a lot of times will help vitamin d will

help and vitamin d is in the fatty foods

so um you want the seafood

with fatty fish would be really good to

help you um

lubricate your lips so um

it’s really the essential fatty acid

omega-3 fatty acid and sometimes vitamin

that will prevent the the cracked lips

or the chapped lips and the dry lips

wonderful okay cod liver oil is another

one too

yeah that’s gross though but if you can

get it down i’m sure it’s very good for

you let’s see why don’t we go to

uh paul from dallas he’s been very

patient with us and even switched

computers so that uh he looks great on

the air paul you’re on with dr burr

hi dr burke hi

let’s see keep this quick uh back in

2018 i had a staph infection i had to go

through

for months of

antibiotics

in the middle of it

i started in

june and in

august

had a physical tsh t4 t3 all normal

i elevated a liver enzymes

but

the cholesterol high of course you know

300 but

for triglycerides were low so i just

didn’t do anything about that um

anyway

the um

november

i noticed

i was gaining like a big potbelly i had

three of the

indicators of liver problems so december

i started

keto

uh watching you at berg and cola

and

started doing great do the by

february i was able to do

48 hour fast

after the third one i noticed other

problems like joint pain

uh tennis elbow which i had for years

would never go away and anything i did

would never go away

suddenly was gone

i was able to get out and ride my bike

again

and then um stayed on keto

um kind of rolled in and out after a

year

then by

december

i went to fur physical and my tsh level

was 15

which is super high

and

i was taking quercetin because of the

you know the c19 going around and

i had to travel for work and

was getting exposed

uh i’d been taken for six months so i

thought maybe that’s causing it and i

stopped taking it

um after my my staph infection was on

the face and after the facial creams

like pepperonis

left me with rosacea

i’ve been taking putting creams on my

face a couple of times and we take that

under control

anyway

then

and

let’s see it was march another test

uh it dropped down to 11. t4 was one

month later

um down to 11

but the t4 was down to 0.87

now the doc says um

and i told the doc about the

the problem with the hype tsh and he

thought maybe i have hashimoto’s so he

did the test

and the test i’ll show negative for

hashimoto’s uh

i avoid gluten like to play

uh i’ve been for

over a year now

and

anyway so he prescribed the synthetic t4

says oh you’ve got hypothyroidism

and

i was looking and i do take

your

nutritional yeast and i take powdered

nutritional yeast mix that in

and those are high in biotin so

i don’t know if it’s the biotin that may

be causing that or

or is that but i’ve cut down on

the uh

nutritional yeast with the high biotin

i got it so um let me just kind of give

you some tips on um

that uh

all that information that i have of

course there’s probably a lot more we

could kind of dig but dig into but

here’s the thing with the thyroid um it

doesn’t sound like you don’t look like a

hypothyroid type case you just you don’t

you don’t

so a lot of these

the the you gotta look at it like an

indicator that there has to be something

else going on um the thing that you told

me is you have a staph infection on the

face and you’re using certain creams um

which gives me a little clue on your

microbiome could be off like the gut and

what’s interesting about

the gut

the microbes that also relate to

your microbes on your superficial part

of your face is that one can affect the

other so let’s say for example there’s a

lack of

diversity of

gut microbiome well guess what they make

bile salts

they make bile salts and so bile is

really necessary also in the conversion

of your thyroid hormones

so if your

gut is off

the thyroid is going to be off too not

to mention the liver

if the liver was fatty

and let’s say for example

now it’s better

but the liver also makes bile salt so

your microbes make bile salts

your liver makes bile salts and so

either one of those can greatly affect

the thyroid because um 80

of the thyroid hormones are dependent on

the liver

to be converted to the active form of

the thyroid hormone so if there’s some

type of

blockage or in your bile ducts or

a problem with the microbes in your gut

that can affect your thyroid so those

are the two areas i would really look at

i would start with something called

tutka which is going to help the liver

just work a lot better and then let’s

see what happens to your thyroid once

you do that and then also at the same

time i would do something to

fortify your gut microbes because

um that staph

problem you have

the way to do it you can kill the staff

off but then

those microbes become even stronger so

instead we just fortify you we increase

the microbiome uh systemically and that

way

your microbes don’t um

start becoming um

resistant to that very soon i wouldn’t

say i i shouldn’t say very soon but

probably in about a month or two we’ll

have a there’s a

micro buy

micro micro uh cream that you can put on

your face that’s really good for

balancing out

pathogens

but stay tuned for that but in the

meantime i would do a probiotic and

tutka to help your situation

okay thanks a lot paul we’re kind of

fighting the clock here but i hope that

uh information helped and uh we wish you

all a luck and we hope that you’ll call

us back

and let us know how you did all right dr

berg let’s get on with another slide

here another quiz and there you have it

all right what

does smoking do to your lips

what are the effects of smoking

how does that affect your lips

well what a great question i am uh 68

and it just shocks me now when i see the

old movies everybody in in the world had

a cigarette dangling out of their lips

when in the 70s or 60s

and i guess everybody had whatever that

does to the lips but fascinating when i

see an old movie now and everyone’s

smoking in an elevator in a room it just

seems so foreign to me even though i was

one of them i quit about 30 years ago

anyway

yeah well i recently did a video on on

diagnosing um

kind of the inside of your body based on

what’s going on with the lips so this

these questions are based on that video

that apparently some people watch some

people haven’t but it’s a you know it’s

i i think it’s important to just

kind of teach people on little different

indicators of looking at the face the

lips the teeth and to see what’s going

on internally so you have more

information on that

here’s an interesting one tammy from

youtube please

please discuss what’s behind sulfate

sensitivity

by their wine maker by profession and

this condition is causing havoc for me

i know i know because uh they have to

use that uh

sulfite to as a preservative or things

will turn to vinegar

so um here you are trying to drink

trying to enjoy just wine you know on a

regular basis and darn it you can’t

sometimes because you have this

sulfate or sulfite

sensitivity

well i guess what you have to do is try

do the kombucha tea as your new wine

alternative

but

you know the sulphites are also in

other things like dried fruit and

as far as what causes that sensitivity

i think the body is rejecting these uh

sulphites that are added to food

primarily because

they do have a negative effect on our

bodies so our body’s rejecting it but

some people have more sensitivities to

other other things but or than other

people but if you want to improve

sensitivities to anything or improve

allergy type symptoms the best way to do

it is through

regular intermittent fasting as well as

periodic prolonged fasting that will

help your immune system you’ll have less

sensitivities

then you’ll be able to drink large

copious amounts of wine

on a nightly basis

wonderful well i tell you what our

audience does not mess around because

they’ve already come up with an answer

what does smoking do to the lips and a

hundred percent of their they’re rolling

uh putting all the money down on on this

one number say

wrinkled or darkened lips

okay you are correct um but primarily it

turns the lips um on the gray side it

does darken it but it does turn it on

the gray side

because it’s like you’re

really shutting down the circulation so

it’s not going to turn blue but it’ll

turn on the gray side so

you know if you want gray lips just keep

smoking right

well i guess everybody used to have them

debbie from facebook since i’ve been

intermittent fasting i have developed

severe bad breath heard that

and the heel on my right foot has turned

orange are they connected

[Laughter]

your heels have turned orange uh just

one of them just one of them the right

one

yeah

okay um i’m not sure about that um

i’m definitely not sure about that but i

will say that if the breath

is quite odorous when you do

intermittent fasting it’s probably

you’re in some deep ketosis right and so

what you could do to really resolve that

is to take a probiotic and you can take

this on an empty stomach it won’t

interfere with your fasting

but it will greatly help purify

the gut and i would of course i’m gonna

recommend

mine because it’s a liquid

and uh it’s a great way to

counter

um the effect of any bad breath at all

and in fact even if the cause is coming

from

a bacterial issue

or a gut issue or an excessive ketone

issue that probik you take it right

before bed

you can also dilute it and use it for

other things as well you can use it

cleaning mold around your house you can

put in a spray bottle dilute it and

spray it into your septic tank it just

takes the smell out so it’s a it’s a

great way to um

to handle that we also use it

in our chicken feed when we ferment it

to keep the mold growth down so it kind

of these microbes

they eat the bad stuff and they they get

rid of different smells so it’s a it’s a

great great thing wonderful okay let’s

go back to our green room and we’ve got

monica coming to us all the way from

slovakia

and uh and that’s on the border of the

ukraine so we wish her all the best and

all the safety in the world and you are

on monica with dr berg

thank you hi dr burke um

i started um i started keto diet just

about two weeks ago and i have to say

i’m feeling great i’ve got lots of

energy so i’m really pleased about the

positive effect of it

the reason why i started keto is because

i’d like to lose belly fat i’m generally

a slim person but i’ve got very fat

and the second reason is fibroids

in my uterus

i for years i’ve been trying to find a

diet that would address it

no gluten no dairy

very healthy fruit veg eating but it’s

just not

done anything

i have a condition

with my liver i had a liver operation

and i know that i was first high on

estrogen then my estrogen went

down and i was told that potentially the

two adulated so the liver and also

fibroids

and then i’ve got my methylation is is

not very good so those are just really

the basic facts

and just to help you maybe just to think

about what

and really it’s just how do i think

you’re i think you’re on the right track

um and of course with that keto plan uh

definitely start doing more and more

intermittent fasting because the

intermittent fasting

is good for anything tumors okay so

they’ll actually shrink tumors and

that’s what a fibroid is it’s a benign

tumor

the other thing is um the tumor needs a

blood supply and um

it’s called uh

angiogenesis and so

there are foods that are

anti-angiogenesis that will shrink this

uh the circulation to these fibroids and

it just so happens to be the cruciferous

vegetables so the cabbage the

cauliflower the kale you should be

including that in your keto

diet

those foods are going to help you

they’re also anti-estrogenic

i’m glad that you you stopped the dairy

because that’s a really key point

but um

you know the sugar as well because those

are so those are just you know dairy um

sugar increases insulin so we have

estrogen those are all um

anabolic they make things grow in the

body

um you’re going to be on the right track

with what you’re doing i just would add

cruciferous vegetables and do more

fasting those two things with

this diet um

are going to be very very helpful for

you so

yeah and just give it more time that’s

really all you have to do is give it

more time and

it should work really nicely

okay thank you you’re welcome

that’s great thanks for representing

slovakia so well monica and let’s keep

it up with the green room here why don’t

we go next to juan who is calling in

from florida and let me unmute you juan

here and get you on the air and you are

on with dr berg juan go ahead with your

question

good morning dr berg good morning

uh first of all i’ve been doing keto for

since

2019 i dropped

about 20 pounds

feeling more energetic

i started consuming

the apple cider vinegar twice a day

and then a few months back i decided to

buy one of those gadgets to track your

sleep

uh found out that my deep sleep uh

let me put it this way i don’t get

enough deep sleep i’m getting

anything between

five minutes to 30 minutes max

somehow i i did some research i found

out that sometimes the apple cider

at night it’s not a very good idea it

could

trigger the the lack of deep sleep so

long story short my question is how can

i improve

my deep sleep in doing keto

there’s a couple things that you can do

that i would experiment on

taking

vitamin d right before bed

can greatly help

reset your circadian rhythms

being out in the sun

more during the day

can actually give you more melatonin to

help the deep sleep at night

so if you’re in an office or in a

indoors in the majority of day that is

the problem that’s the problem with your

sleep so being outside physical work is

going to be really really huge going for

long walks doing more exercise will help

your deep sleep also before you go to

sleep there’s a protocol that

i use to get even more sleep like i was

doing this for a while i’m not doing it

now but i was trying to get nine hours

of sleep and it was quite great because

it was like oh my gosh i feel so much

better so i took a vitamin d i took zinc

and i took my uh

sleep aid right before bed

uh boy that just puts you into the a

real nice deep delta wave sleep

and

the first part of the sleep is going to

be mainly

the deep sleep uh the delta wave but

then the second half of sleep is going

to be the rem sleep which is

just as important to

rejuvenate mental stress so you’re

waking up and

you’re not necessarily just rejuvenating

just physical stress but the mental

stress you wake up feeling like i feel

just really ready to go i can face life

and i feel good so these are all things

that i would look at i have done a lot

of videos on sleep because i had

severe problems with sleep and i that’s

what got me interested in it so um

there was

times in my past where i don’t even

sleep one

second

all night long i’m laying there just

literally in a torture chamber just

when am i gonna go to sleep and so that

haunted me for about 12 years until i

figured it out but um

so i have a reality on that so you you

can watch the videos but those are the

things that i would recommend to help

okay i’m getting as an example last

night i got

39 minutes of deep sleep

but i got two hours and 14 minutes of um

hey you’re you’re doing you’re

okay that’s that’s not terrible um the

other thing that uh

you have to realize those those tests

aren’t always the most accurate way of

really measuring

uh the delta wave especially since you

probably don’t have any

probes going into your brain

uh they’re probably it’s probably going

to be evaluating

your motion

of your body

it’s kind of an indirect way of

measuring it so

i would go with how you feel when you

wake up too um okay

as the best indicator but also one last

little remedy is that some calcium

before bed also will help

especially if you have cramps at night

and if you’re let’s say your head is

tired okay but you can’t go to sleep uh

calcium will just like put you out

okay perfect

thank you very much

sure thank you so much juan i appreciate

it and let’s see if we can’t get one

other question answered today then we’ll

go back and wrap it up with our guests

in the green room and dr berg uh here’s

your question

okay so what is the highest quality of

protein

you can possibly eat

okay get on it uh audience and let’s see

we’ve got

olivia is still waiting for us and

olivia you are on with dr berg

go ahead with your question please

hello dr byrne hello

my question

some years ago i had these stomach aches

uh very burning stomachaches they were

brief sometimes anyways after that i

went to my doctor and they

diagnosed that i had stones in my

gallbladder

not being sure that was the cause of my

stomach pains they took it out

the stomach pains continue

years after they i went back to their uh

gastroenterologist

and they found out that i had a sun in

my bile duct

which they tried four times to take it

out which was very hard at the fourth

try they did take it out

i felt my stomach case disappear however

a few months later they diagnosed me

with acid reflux

i don’t have heartburn i don’t have

those symptoms that most people have

however

i feel that my stomach digests food

very slow

um because i feel it i don’t feel

uncomfortable i don’t feel bad however

in the morning i feel the food sometimes

in my throat

and then later on i developed this bad

um flavor in my mouth

and later on dry very dry mouth at night

not during the day and lately dry nose

um my sleep is like has been really bad

um i some nights i don’t sleep at all

some nights i sleep maybe six hours some

nights i sleep eight hours

and you were saying your body will tell

you if you have a good night’s sleep and

when i sleep at least six hours i feel

great i have a lot of energy i have been

listening to you for the past year i

really like everything that you say and

i have tried some things for

for uh this acid reflux which is flames

the one that bothered me the most in the

back of my throat i feel this drainage

however i don’t have a congestion nose i

breathe very well it’s just that is very

constantly clearing my throat and having

this dry cough once in a while and i see

that when i eat certain foods

it gets worse

so i heard you saying like radishes with

ginger and lemon i tried that one time i

heard you and i did it and it helped

actually excel and i said oh my gosh his

doctor is god so i really admire you for

a lot of things that you do but this is

bothering me too much and also maybe
