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 welcome back we’re here today

it’s a nice warm weather I think it’s

like four degrees outside in Virginia

it’s freezing so thanks for showing up

hey if you have any question is is the

dr. Burch call us at one eight six six

five six one four two nine two we have

Karen over here that’s gonna be helping

us out with all sorts of questions gonna

coming up from you’re probably already

getting questions yes hey listen let’s

just dive right in if you have questions

about keto intermittent fasting or other

health related topics go ahead and ask

away just one little quick point

this is not meant to diagnose you or

give you medical advice anything I say

is for entertainment and education and

you can do research on and check with

your doctor all right hey Mable you’ve

been waiting for 30 minutes so you’re

from Miami must be nice

it is

did you have to actually

put a towel on when you got other pool

because

the doctor burgers not enough time

obviously in your show for the immense

gratitude that I have and I’m sure your

fans care for this incredible show and

all the great work that you and Karen

and your team do so thank you for that

very much

and just so really quick I’m 36 a mom

I’ve been starting about Thanksgiving I

was 170 to 170

tinkering you know with intermittent

fasting and my keto diet come today I’m

156 pounds since Thanksgiving

I’m so happy I do have a little bit of a

history of hypertension um I did have

preeclampsia gave birth to a beautiful

Micro preemies super healthy now um no

allergies no medications except for five

milligrams of nor the facts so like I

said I’ve been tinkering with it right

now I’m on 23 one I feel incredible I

have so much energy I feel like I could

you know get home and keep going with

the baby and do everything or just I

feel really great so this is my annual

today about dough like 30 minutes ago I

left my annual with my cardiologist and

you know I thought he’d be so happy and

impressed and he was completely against

everything that I’m doing that I was

starving myself that this wasn’t gonna

work long term thought the sodium to

increase you know continual low-carb

diet but you know some measurement

sodium and then he upped my medication

so I think this is not a long-term

solution to my problem right I can’t

just walk away here with a prescription

right well let me let me respond to that

let me respond to that a couple things

doctors they treat they treat symptoms

they treat disease that’s what they do I

don’t treat disease what I do is I help

people all right shows them how to

create more health

honestly I personally would find another

doctor that actually would work with you

that’s not so antagonistic s– is

something that is helping you

unfortunately a lot of doctors are our

fed data from the American Heart

Association which recommends using the -

diet which is very carb heavy low fat

it’s just the same old information

recycled so they just don’t have the

data so you’re trying to get information

about health but they’re specialized in

medications so what’s really missing in

healthcare is the health part they just

not trained on how to get healthy in

fact go to your doctor and ask them come

here I just want to know how can I

improve my health and see what they say

now to be interesting conversation but

as far as blood pressure it sounds like

you’re doing great I think you just need

to give it more time because what’s

gonna happen as you reduce insulin by

lowering the carbs and doing in a minute

fasting a lot of things are gonna happen

to the arteries they’re gonna become

softer they’re not going to be as rigid

because insulin and high sugar makes

them rigid and stiff and

the other thing the couple things you

could do nutrition wise is vitamin k2

and d3 is going to be very beneficial to

help if there’s any calcium in the

arteries but the main is going to be

supporting insulin resistance improving

lead sugars and give it more time

because it takes a while for that to

really self correct and so you’re giving

the body a chance to really heal so

increase the vegetables you can actually

add a lot more potassium to the diet

because if you calculate on what you

need is like 4700 you might want to go

up to 5,000 maybe 6,000 because and

mostly from food because that potassium

is really great for blood pressure okay

so those are the two things that I would

recommend thanks for calling navel we’re

gonna go to Derrick from New York where

it’s nice and warm up there hi Derrick

how you doing

good morning dr. Burke how are you good

morning

and dr. Burke thank you for all the all

the insight that you you know give

hundreds of thousands of people we’re

all very grateful I know there’s a lot

of people so I’m just gonna dive right

in into it dr. Berg you’ve been helping

me actually with a lot of things that

I’ve been going through I had sludge it

I have sludge in the gallbladder I

mentioned this last time a height of

skin that was 49% ejection fraction that

was just two and a half weeks ago you

told me to go on if’ but I do have Jill

bear syndrome and my bilirubin is now

much higher than it was

I’m taking acid I’ll 300 milligrams

twice a day I have acute gastritis and

basically minimal erosive nasaw

minimally Rozsival the duodenum as well

as my esophagus I stopped doing I have

some GERD so uh based on your videos I’m

pretty sure that I’m I lack

stomach acid and bile

so I stopped doing the apple cider

vinegar because and lemon because I kind

of I don’t know how that’s gonna be on

my stomach with inflammation

also have apt gas and low ayran ayran is

like 46 low b12

low vitamin D and I’m assuming low

vitamin A and low vitamin K okay and I

also don’t know what eat throughout the

day I’ve been eating just a lot of salad

but I steamed it due to the do to do so

the inflammation of the stomach because

I don’t want it to be raw and

I’m I’m just eating some olive oil on it

and some and some meat whether it’s

organic chicken meat

organic salmon but I’m not trying to do

the salmon all the time but that’s

really my go-to food I don’t know what

else to do okay so let me just kind of

give you some tips on this Derek

or something like that you have a

corrosion of your stomach you have a lot

of irritation so you can’t really put

the acid down there to help you absorb

the iron and the b12 and you need the

assets release the bile salts which I

think you said you’re taking by

ourselves so all that’s going to help

you so you’re kind of in this transition

of getting your body healed intimate of

fasting it’s going to it’s going to

eventually help you but it you have a

condition where it’s going to be a long

term process to get your body go through

the process of healing but as far as

what to eat you’re going to have to kind

of cope right now because you’re stuck

between a rock and a hard place you

can’t dump the acid in there now so

you’re gonna have to steam your

vegetables have a little fat and then

just give it more time

the other thing that I would recommend

is cabbage different types of cabbage

things like fermented cabbage try that

steamed cabbage maybe even a little bit

of raw cabbage cabbage has a unique

factor something natural in there that’s

really good for ulcers in gastritis and

inflammation of the stomach

it sounds to me that you had a pretty

bad

blood sugar issue at one time and that

can also create a problem with the

nervous system in the stomach it’s

called the autonomic nervous system I

think it’s called their autonomic

neuropathy basically where you’re

getting this nerve damage to the organs

too so you might have some of that so

the solution is try keep doing in a

minute fasting and because gonna let

your body go through a process of etapa

G and that’s going to actually start

healing your inside of your skin

wheatgrass juice is essential because

that’s really good to actually support

the lining on the internal part of your

body so I think I’m just you think

you’re doing everything right you just

got to give it more time and until

eventually you can add the acid back in

okay all right do we have a question

Karen yes good okay so um there’s a

question here from someone that is

wondering what a nicotine supplement

will do to intermittent fasting

okay so you talked about the patch it’s

just a supplement that I assume I mean

there’s gum there’s a patch yeah good

question so nicotine

you know it but what it doesn’t

stimulate something called the

sympathetic nervous system and if it’s

too much it can actually raise

epinephrine adrenaline and that can

release some sugar in the system and

then increase the insulin okay so that’s

kind of what you’re looking at so what

you could do is just try to do it the

minimal amount possible but I like the

fact that you’re doing nicotine instead

of the actual smoking because then you

can avoid all the chemicals so it can

depending on how much you’re exposed to

yeah good okay I have another one okay

okay so I have Elena from Facebook and

she’s saying that she knows she has an

awful lot of stress in her life that her

adrenals are probably trashed she’s been

on the program since September she’s

lost a few pounds but she wants to know

how long can it take for her adrenals to

heal and to see more weight loss it

really depends on how chronic it is or

how bad it is and it’s hard to tell I

excuse me I think one of the best

indicators for adrenal is that climbing

up stairs or going up a incline because

if you’re not if you climb up an incline

and you feel like completely out of

breath real fast then we know the

adrenals are are kind of weak so there’s

several things that you’re going to have

to do on a regular basis overall maybe

several months to start healing the

adrenal the biggest thing is to do

everything possible nutrient wise food

acupressure you can find on my website

to help your sleep because the sleep is

really really key into helping the

adrenals there’s some great things that

you can take nutritionally one is called

cortisol adrenal course all relief I

think that gives you the nutrients for

the adrenals and then the acupressure

those two I think will be helpful but

you’re gonna have to you know give it

some months to actually reverse that

okay hey real quick I wanted to tell you

guys we have a really cool new community

group on Facebook it’s called ketogenic

M and fasting a lab where we actually do

testing on people no I’m sure it’s just

we do different experiments and share

our results with each other so

you can go to Facebook and there’s a

there’s a link I think on the top of the

page somewhere on the page and you can

sign up and if the close group will

invite you in but there’s a couple

guidelines in and mainly this group is

to help us share with each other

successful actions so we can learn

things from each other and help each

other it’s not meant for promotional

actions or affiliate links so if you

have that you can’t do that that’s

against the rules or if you’re promoting

product or go to this page or some other

diet

got to be nice no a bad language okay

Charles no trolls welcome we delete you

and we just want to know what’s working

what’s not working and we can share

experiences I’ll be posting some really

cool little tests that we can do just

like if you have a blood sugar

testing thing or a keto testing maybe

you can help us to see how your blood

Sugar’s or ketones are affected after

you eat like I don’t know a pound of ice

cream or or whatever or avocados will

present some really cool tests and then

we can see the results and I’ll be doing

a periodic live events as well and I

want to mention if you wanted to sign up

on that you can go to the Facebook okay

let’s go take a question from Raj I

think it’s raw Raja from

Carolina yes

yes sir well hello dr. Berg I thank you

for taking my call I’m a really fan of

your content you really provide a great

insight that is very useful and

effective I’m a vegetarian I’m

160 pounds I’m a 56 year old I am a

renal body type so I’ve taken your night

time formula and that is up quite a bit

I also hyperlipidemia diabetes

hypertension

I’m using diet and intermittent fasting

this year and it does have quite a bit

in I’m not taking diabetic meds anymore

so it’s under control my even see is

five point four and so I’m really happy

about that

but I’d like to find out cause of

hypertension so I’m kind of

going about the looking as though I’m

not taking any salt I’ve taken salt

substitutes I’m taking potassium like

you said I’m balancing between

potassium and

sodium ratio always but I’m more leaning

towards potassium so but my hypertension

causes is not so I’ve been into

nutrition deficiency and all that and I

found that I’m b12 you know so when I

take nutrition East that you strongly

recommend in the past years but I’ve

taken it my won’t my eyes sink in like

this shrink to pull it and then the

outside of the eyes a pure little black

I don’t know if I should be concerned

about that they’re not paying for

anything but they’re noticeably make me

look like an ni person

so a you know I’m but so but I but that

does happen if I take

the b12 tablets but I don’t know how

well I’m absorbing b12 okay right now

let’s and my other question was about

okay yeah let’s talk about that because

I have a lot of questions so probably

one question per person that would be

wonderful if you get an actual

nutritional yeast powder

unfortunately it doesn’t come with b12

unless it’s added in that’s and it’s

added them sometimes add in

synthetically that’s one of the reasons

why I created the nutritional yeast

tablets because I added some natural b12

in there so that way of the whole thing

so when you take

nutritional yeast with all those B

vitamins without the b12 potentially it

can create more of an exaggerated effect

of b12 deficiency which could affect

those eyes so what I would do is I would

either get the powder add some natural

b12 and that should Hamlet or you can

get the tablets that I have it’s up to

you but with you I think you need to add

a little bit more apple cider vinegar

with water and lemon to drink that

because that’ll start to help the

absorption of b12 to the stomach because

you need acid so especially if you’re a

vegetarian

the challenge with being a vegetarian is

getting the b12 believe it or not the

wheatgrass juice powder I have

has it in it we tested it which is

surprising because normally we

Crestridge doesn’t have it but it’s

added with the microbes head then it

comes with it’s actually double the RDAs

but that’s really what you’re running

into the key vitamins that you need to

focus on being a vegetarian are the iron

the b12 and the vitamin A because it’s

hard to get that in being a vegan but

good question hey Gerald you’re from

Chicago you had a question about pH

testing

yes sir

and related questions about evaluation

first of all I want to thank you for the

great explanations you provide I’m sure

everyone appreciates what you do my

question is is it a good idea to use

hydrogen pH test strips to know your pH

level good awesome great question

because pH is a huge confusing topic

you’re gonna measure your saliva and

you’re gonna check your urine that’s

pretty much all you can tell a test your

body has all different PHS then what it

centers around is your blood pH when you

can’t test it with a pH paper you have

to go get it injected pulled out and

then the objective it pulled it out and

then quickly test it but it turns it

oxidizes so fast so it’s really hard to

test your blood pH but you can go by

symptoms however there is some benefit

to checking the urine pH and there’s a

couple things you have to realize though

the urine pH does not really tell you

what’s going on with the rest of the

body for example if you’re losing

stomach acid your pH of your urine might

initially be very high in acids so it

could be more acid so you really have to

kind of look at the whole body but what

I like to use the pH strips are for its

checking the urine especially when when

you’re doing keto to

evaluate maybe if you’re too alkaline

for example you need to certify the body

and that could be from an adrenal issue

or even diabetes however if your pH is

the opposite Institute acid because

you’re doing keto and you’re dumping a

lot of ketones through the urine and you

have gout for example gout symptoms

which is high uric acid then you better

start taking some calcium or some maybe

potassium citrate to kind of chill that

out and so I would use it mainly to kind

of get an idea of what’s going on with

your

maybe kidney stones or gout because both

of those conditions are usually

especially we’re doing keto too much

uric acid so that pH should be more

acidic so that’s I think that would be

the most useful thing that would use pH

strips but good questions your hell

thanks for asking that now let’s go to

Karen hey good okay so over YouTube here

I have

mark who is asking

he says how do you get seven hundred

forty seven hundred milligrams of

potassium

when potassium tablets are only

100 milligrams okay mark another good

question

so that’s how they sell it but you it

doesn’t mean you’re gonna get this from

a supplement you want to try to get it

from your foods that’s the whole goal

in my book which most of you have I have

a chart on potassium on page 122 okay

and I list all the foods that have high

potassium and low potassium and I wanted

to I wanted to explain something because

he if for example

banana has 400 maybe 3 to 400 milligrams

of potassium but you need a lot of those

potassium so a lot of bananas to get

your daily requirements but if we come

down here to

let’s say Brussels sprouts it’s almost

500 avocados are almost 900 milligrams

so this basically tells us that we

naturally our diet needs to be high and

vegetable but also protein for other but

nutrients but if you try to get your

potassium from supplements you’re only

looking at one nutrient out of a whole

bunch of them and it’s you’re gonna

throw something else out you want to use

extra calcium from supplements as an

enhancement but not as a way to get to

your IDE your ideal seen with potassium

and this is one of the problems that

people don’t like eating vegetables so

they I’m just gonna get it from a pill

now I do have electrolyte powder for

some enhancement but it has all the

electrolytes and trace minerals with no

sugar so that couldn’t be a little bit

better than just taking a pill the

problem with buying potassium citrate

from a powder is it’s very hard to get

down unless you put some some other

things in it so it’s like you probably

start gagging so I would start consuming

more salads to get your potassium and

not trying to take the pill 299

milligram pill hey let’s go to Lisa from

Pennsylvania you had a question about

magnesium go ahead

I’m not sure if from he

didn’t hear me right but my question was

about a nickel and aluminum toxicity on

hair analysis boy okay so so like hot I

had a couple I had a couple other

questions I mentioned numbness in the

extremities with magnesium citrate to

help increase or not my medium I’m sorry

that’s probably where the confusion came

in the tascam citrate I’m trying to

supplement with potassium citrate to

increase my potassium and when I do I

get numbness in the extremities

when I add to b12 in there it seems to

help but I

wasn’t sure if that was the root of the

problem with that okay

okay so let’s just answer that list I

think if you have like heavy metals in

your hair you got to find out what is

causing that what didn’t you what are

you eating that’s causing that there are

natural things you can get to help the

store that are called key leaders

incubator it means like to hook

something you can take them like one is

chlorella for example and you take it

and it starts pulling out some of the

heavy metals you want to get the lead

out I’m sorry the copper out and and

nickel and whatever you have in your

body so you want to pull it out that way

and trying to find out what you’re doing

that could be exposing your body to that

and then you also had a question that I

completely and utterly forgot so I’m

gonna ask you again

you were asking

just to help you out with your nickel

toxicity I believe it’s coming from

dental capsules okay another question

right after that

yes numbness in the extremities with

potassium citrate supplement yeah you

said you said potassium not calcium

right

correct okay alright so here’s the thing

there’s some interesting things about

numbness and your extremities you can

have numbness if your pH is too far one

way or the other you can have numbness

if you have too much calcium in your

body so if you take too much minerals as

an individual mineral and you get

numbness it could probably be throwing

something else out

but typically numbness is a blood sugar

thing when you have insulin resistance

pre-diabetes and also and they’re

diabetic gets peripheral neuropathy so

what I would do is i if you’re taking

something else and you get some symptom

I would back up and go okay how can I

take this more in a complex or how

nature has provided it versus one

specific nutrient because even when you

get a nutrition anytime you take one of

something out of the natural complex

that normally doesn’t come in nature you

might throw something out and I don’t

even know why you’re getting that but I

would just start getting

more food based type minerals or

elements or vitamins okay but take a key

later I think that’ll be important and

as far as the dental stuff you’re

probably gonna have to take chlorella

for a period of time thanks Lisa all

right Karen

yeah we got to represent here on social

media I have two good questions from

YouTube I have Ollie who’s asking what

causes a lot of burping okay okay so

burping is usually gallbladder and the

gallbladder is

you know backing up with some gas so

anytime you burp belch or bloat that’s a

gallbladder symptoms so you want to find

out what you’re eating you want to do is

maybe some acupressure on the

gallbladder possibly some nutrition I

have a lot of videos in the gallbladder

you could probably watch that okay okay

good another one is from and I’m sorry

if I mispronounce this Carice on

YouTube and she says she’s having a

difficult time digesting fats and carbs

which I’m not sure what kind of carbs

since we’re trying to avoid carbs but

she’s asking that liquids do a lot

better could she do just liquids

and the fasting doing intermittent

fasting yeah well if you’re having

problems is probably some sluggishness

with the gallbladder and yes you can do

liquid stuff but you don’t want to do

carbs with fats you don’t want to do

carbs with protein unless it’s a

vegetable carbohydrate but yeah if

you’re having digestive issues do the at

the end of the day you just have to make

sure that you get all your nutrients so

you can liquefy your salad you can

liquefy your fats you can liquefy your

hamburger for example just put into a

shake and drink it down hey I want to go

to a call because someone’s been on the

line for 47 minutes Aalto you’re on the

line from Salt Lake City you go ahead

hi how are you greetings from Utah great

I don’t I don’t eat vegetables so I

cannot go on a keto diet as others

normally would but I have started doing

intermittent fasting

with eating only twice a day my calorie

count has decreased drastically so what

I want to know is is it a good idea to

do intermittent fasting seven days a

week and what should I do in order to

have this lifestyle to be sustainable

and what to do to avoid slowing my

metabolism when my body adapted to my

meals okay good so there’s a couple

things yes you can do in a minute

fasting every single day I think I would

recommend it but if you don’t do

vegetables there is one food that you

could eat one category of food that

actually has

almost the equivalent of nutrients to

vegetables and if anyone can actually

take a wild guess right now and type it

in I would like to see your opinion of

what do you think has more nutrients

than vegetables go ahead type it in oh I

know and I know you know but what about

is anyone can you tell me if there’s

anyone that’s

typing anything in that’s

that’s even close to being correct no

it’s good okay let me see I have to get

to the bottom here on Facebook

get all the way Wow

hey and why you guys are typing that in

I want to just show you and I’m sorry I

just wanted to bring this up before I

told you what to do we have a very cool

little cheat sheet here this is the

cheat sheet on how to trigger your fat

burning hormones it’s pretty cool if you

want one of these you could simply

go to there’s a link down below and you

can just type in and if you’re on

facebook messenger type in comment cheat

okay if you’re on youtube is linked down

below you go to messenger and type in

the comment or comment sheet alright and

you can download this great thing I just

like summaries this is a quick little

sheet and you can get it and I think

that’ll help you focus in on all the

foods that will help you I have the dues

in the delts right here okay if any if

you want that check it out

okay yeah hello okay what are people

saying so a lot of people are saying

things like wheatgrass juice powder eggs

red meat but it seems like sorry

Facebook the YouTube guys

getting a lot more of the correct answer

don’t you like that when you ask a

question and the teacher asking good no

you’re wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong are

you half right you let me just tell you

what it is

basically organ meats yeah

okay there we have it that was no little

anticlimactic no say more about that

yeah I’m gonna yeah you want to get

grass-fed there’s a there’s a website

that has grass-fed I can’t remember the

name of it but the point is you can find

online you can get this but you can

grasp it liverwurst you can gret grasp

it and their organ meats

personally I have a hard time consuming

them but if you wanted to if you don’t

like vegetables you then you’re stuck

with organ meats make sure it’s

grass-fed make sure it’s organic but

that Believe It or Not has all the fat

soluble vitamins tons of minerals tons

of potassium vitamin C

so basically that’s your other option if

you don’t like vegetables you’re gonna

have to have organ meats and you can and

fast put it in your blender yes and you

can take it with a stroll the organ

ematic thanks Ulta hey done you’re from

Miami you had a question

well happy New Year to you and your wife

dr. Berg thank you Happy New Year

December Happy New Year on December

little pipe out of surgery I’m a retired

firefighter paramedic in Miami been

retired 15 months love fire president

thank you

firefighters

definitely a wonderful bunch of guys and

girls doing first responder work with

wonderful sensitivity I’m presently

taking your apple cider vinegar kale

parsley and beet top shake with

wheatgrass

I’ve lost 32 pounds since my October 4th

journey into

quadruple bypass surgery and you can

imagine how I feel about I was a

marathon or triathlon or a

chicken

fish and Turkey all the time so you can

imagine how I feel about putting fat

into my body right now after having this

kind of background so my question for

you today is my wife is on a ketogenic

diet and I can’t I’ve been on a

plant-based diet since really the

operation but how does a keto check and

also I’m type two diabetic that is why

I’m trying to get off a meta Foreman so

that’s why I’ve lost 32 pounds and I’m

going down further how will a ketogenic

diet reduce my cholesterol and blood

sugar levels as opposed to the

plant-based diet yeah okay so very good

question down there’s I’m trying to give

you the short version of that there’s a

lot of videos I have on this one topic

the truth is that the cholesterol that

is in your arteries

only 10% comes from the diet 90% of it

is coming from your own body your body’s

making cholesterol so it’s really not

the villain it’s it’s it’s at the crime

scene which is in the arteries but it’s

trying to heal something else going on

now if you have insulin resistance you

have

pre-diabetic you have higher levels of

insulin and that’s one thing you should

probably check go get a fasting insulin

test it’s going to be a little higher

but and that’s really what’s corroding

and attacking the lining the epithelial

lining of your arteries and creating a

cascade of effects of the cholesterol in

the protein coming in the calcium coming

in and then forming a plaque or a clot

that’s really what’s going on so it’s

not the fat that is going to heal you

it’s really the low carbs I love the

fact that Ewing a plant-based diet I

think you should consume actual plants

vegetation like like a whole bunch of it

that’s what I recommend but I think I

wouldn’t be afraid also to add some high

quality protein in there with that comes

naturally with that that that’s not

going to be a problem for your arteries

at all in fact them they found that when

you go low-fat protein it spikes insulin

so we’re trying to get insulin down so I

wouldn’t be afraid of doing that

especially if it’s like let’s say five

ounces per meal and you do in a minute

fasting you’re gonna find very quickly

that your insulin is gonna come down

your your heart’s gonna heal your blood

blood sugar is gonna heal a lot better

so really it’s kind of like shifting

your attention that what really messes

people up is the refined carbs and the

sugars and that type of thing so again

if you don’t absolutely don’t want to do

animal products well then you’re gonna

have to really find some other proteins

and fats that can give you the nutrients

that you need it’s very hard to intimate

of fasting on a low-fat diet because

it’s like you’re gonna be really hungry

and and it’s really hard so and there’s

also nutrients that you need like

vitamin A vitamin D vitamin E that

naturally come from fats so but study

some more videos on that I have a lot of

data online about that but thanks done

for being a firefighter and and

answering the question okay Karen we’re

gonna go to you for a question okay good

and thanks again for the firefighters

dr. Berg knows I love him he like if I

see a firefighter in full uniform

there are my gosh you’re hero I yeah

okay okay focus focus okay coming back

to the question right so a two-part

question here from Rosa on Facebook and

she’s saying she took the the quiz the

body type quiz and she’s 62 percent

adrenal and she’s sixteen percent

thyroid she wants to know how to

approach that with regard to supplements

or the diet and also she’s wondering

should she could she continued her

multivitamin that she’s been taking

okay so it really depends on

multivitamin if it’s in synthetic

vitamin or it’s a food base you want to

go with food base now the complexities

of the body types in my first book

called the seven fat burning which this

is an upgrade really had people in the

confusion of because we’re like well I

have a little combination of this

combination of that in this book which

you may want to consider getting there’s

a everyone goes on a basic eating plan

okay and that’s in chapter I think 11 or

yeah 11 so you basically get on this

plan for a couple weeks then what you do

is you there’s a little quiz in there

that tells you let’s say you’re more

adrenal or more thyroid or you’re tied

it tells you what to do to enhance your

basic eating plan with adjusting the

fats and the

the proteins and the carbs but here’s

the thing if you’re a complete split tie

you don’t know what to do just pick the

adrenals first and go with that and then

what you can do is see how you feel by

adjusting your eating plan if you’re not

really winning go to the thyroid and try

those recommendations but the way that

you got to look at this is that all

these glands are connected the entire

endocrine system you could almost look

like it at a as a one organism that’s

connected on a chain and when one goes

down they all tend to go down so just by

supporting one part of the endocrine

system you’re going to support the whole

thing but if you have a little more

Authority you need a little bit more of

this if you’re more adrenal you need a

little bit more of that but I think if

you give me a choice between adrenal

thyroid I ought to go with the adrenal

okay Anita you’re from Syracuse you two

question go ahead

yes hi happy new year

my question is I keep hearing about lazy

keto carb cycling and carb up days and

it’s kind of confusing me yeah I’ve been

doing the ketogenic diet for five months

I’ve lost 45 pounds Wow I want to keep

going but I feel like I feel like I’m

losing gas I feel like I’m losing not

interest but I feel like can I keep

doing this I mean I have 50 more pounds

to go I’m feel very happy where I’m at

right now I have more energy I workout

three days a week I’m doing some of the

suggestions that you said about

exercises but I just want to know is

this something that I should explore or

what’s your thought okay good question

of the whole carb cycling honestly I

think it’ll slow you down because

there’s minute that you start adding the

carbs the insulin goes up so now you

bumps you out of ketosis you you’ve done

something that’s very successful the

last thing you want to do is change it

now the thing is like you feel like well

it’s like how long could I do this it’s

kind of could be boring or a routine and

very structured well if you have more

weight to lose keep doing the things

that got you there don’t change anything

you’re gonna violate the rule that it

something’s working you stick with it so

that’s my recommendation on that add

some more interesting recipes or yeah

you can make it more interesting we have

desserts recipes on the site but let’s

say you hit your goal and you really are

happy with your weight and you’ve

strengthened and you’ve eliminated the

insulin resistance and now you got a

greater level of health you have more

flexibility of going off and doing

different things

because you know that you can go right

back on because you’re your insulin is a

lot better so when you build up your

health to a state of a higher level you

have the capacity and the luxury of not

being perfect and

but right now I think I’ll stick with it

the other thing about on that on the

internet there’s there’s there’s

suggestions I know this might be hard to

believe about every possible viewpoint

and you don’t even know if you’re

getting the right thing anyone can say

anything about practically anything and

that’s the problem with the internet

like right now there’s some if you type

on and the internet what’s the number

one ranked diet it’ll say the - diet by

the US News and World Report which is

the media group which I don’t even know

how they’re rating this good - diet

because if you take a look at the - diet

I mean it’s like between 6 & 8 servings

of grains okay now how is that gonna

actually help you by adding more grains

in there low fat proteins it’s just the

same old same old recycled they’re

allowing hidden sugars in there they’re

allowing a little small amount of candy

but low fat it’s just the same thing we

cycled

unfortunately you know you read that and

you go wow is that true well if you know

the basics you’re not gonna fall for it

but I’d like to know how they are

evaluating that diet is it based on

results or how many advertising they’re

advertising they have I mean it’s really

a it’s it’s not an independent study

it’s it’s very it’s been very political

so

Karen do you have another question Oh

someone here’s asking if we would do a

food vlog I like that look not just the

recipes because we do the recipes but

they’re saying hey what about just doing

you know talking about food I don’t know

is it boring we just hear and talk about

food but maybe not maybe we’ll look at

that but

thank you for that suggestion and also

they’re recommending dr. Berg that you

buy fireman outfit and I think that that

also is a very good suggestion but you

want to tell people about the cheat or

should I why don’t you tell me about the

cheat sheet so

Jay you just broke the illusion that

we’re in like two different countries or

something

anyway yeah you can get this if you’re

on YouTube there’s a link you don’t have

to type in cheat there’s actually a link

on youtube if you look below for the

facebook messenger folks type in the

word cheat see h-e-a-t and you will

automatically get that okay so if you

missed that early on that’s what you do

it’s a neat little cheat sheet

okay and

okay good and that was my commercial

okay all right let’s go to Leah she’s

from Chicago she’s been waiting for 24

hours a minute I’m just kidding Ilia

hi I’m dr. Boyd can you hear me yeah I

can hear you fine I

thank you so much for sharing your

information with us you have helped me

get rid of my insulin resistance I’m a

experiment and a couple of other

medically medications are after your

suggestion I even I took them off so I

had PCOS and long hair fall so when I

did my last ultrasound

I still have twisting my left ovaries

and there is some regrowth after I’m

doing intermittent fasting and low to

moderate cards

so low to moderate carb so I still have

cysts in my ovaries and I do see like I

need to regrow my hair a lot you know I

lost like 60 70 percent of my hair so

the thinking which obvious up lemons can

I take I was looking at actual estrogen

balance here formula

wheatgrass and electrolyte you know so

do I need trace minerals as well or

these should be good good question Lea

yeah so let’s talk about that I think

that you’re doing great and by the way

if anyone wants to get off the

medication or get rid of the diseases

realize that all I’m doing is I’m trying

to build up your health so you can avoid

those things but I’m not making any

claims to cure your disease go to the

medical doctor for that but that being

said I think the best thing for cysts to

improve the nutrition of the of the body

and help with that would be the seek

help the icelandic seek help because the

iodine in there is great for cysts on

the ovaries and cysts and the breast the

estrogen balance that I have is really

good for estrogen dominance which also

will help that but it but you if you

have a very specific thing like that I

think all you need is some iodine but

but then the question would be why do

you have in the first place and that’s

because it’s very hard to find iodine in

our food nowadays in fact we’re not

getting the trace minerals we’re not

getting zinc anymore and that sets us up

for all sorts of problems with

detoxification

especially zinc because that actually is

that supports the detoxification in the

body and not to mention that we’re

exposed to a thousand new chemicals

every year we don’t have these trace

minerals it’s hard for our body to

eliminate that so trace mineral would be

a good thing but also the sea kelp which

has a lot of the trace minerals in it so

hey thanks for your question hey Lisa

you’re on the line you had questions

about getting dizzy and I think dark

circles go ahead oh my goodness first of

all I wanted to compliment you hello if

the question is about my husband however

I want to say thank you thank you thank

you so much for caring because I’m a

devout religious person in my faith and

I always said to myself why can’t I

master this gluttony problem I have and

I thought that I that there was

something wrong with me and then when I

listened to you I found out that I was

addicted mmm sugar because and then when

I dumped everything out and they looked

at every ingredient everything when I

went shopping it was in the meets it was

in everything practically so I just want

to say God bless you and you set me free

I am no longer a slave to food

I’m so excited to watch you guys I

really know that you are my hero and I

know that sounds really corny but it is

so true I am free I am free I’m not a

slave anymore you’re going to make me

cry

I’m shaking it this is just amazing I

watch you all the time every night until

like 3:00 in the morning I’m trying to

get so educated because I mentioned you

on my channel as well and I’m gonna send

you a plaque to call you my hero and yes

you should get that fireman outfit

uniform ia’s

because you are saving lives okay you

have to where I work Oh

everywhere you go I am gonna see it from

now on all right but I know you have

other Carles but my husband he is doing

this too and he has I guess dizziness a

little bit of a headache he’s looking at

my saying why do you have all those

black circles under your eyes and and

he’s kind of low on energy so I oh I

love you guys

so I need help he’s listening to you

right now in the living room and he

wants to feel strong again okay all

right good good question thanks Lisa it

sounds to me that your husband’s

symptoms are classic

hypoglycemia which is insulin resistance

now check this out here the person

consumes all these carbs right and the

sugar over a period of time then your

body starts forming a resistance to that

and says oh it’s poison it’s toxic get

it out there so the cells start to close

down so they don’t absorb this stuff any

more right now what happens after that

you have instant resistance is

devices hey we need to feed the cells so

it starts increasing insulin so you have

high insulin right it’s gonna push the

blood sugars down hypoglycemia low blood

sugars at first that’s like a precursor

to eventually and then it can’t

compensate now we get high sugar we get

become a diabetic so it sounds like he’s

that more of a hypoglycemic and the

symptoms for that I think are you know

heart palpitations dizziness

irritability

dark circles all these all these

symptoms that so many people have

so that goes on and on and on so the

symptoms for insulin resistance could be

identical to hypoglycemia or

hyperglycemia

so it’s a little confusing I’m gonna

have to create a video on that so I

would get him on the same program you’re

doing and that should handle it but

what’s interesting is when you consume

sugar your receptors for sugar shut down

and you need more and more so become

addicting so you need more sugar to

create the same pleasure and that throws

off your whole chemistry and then you

can insert a resistance now you’ve got a

serious problem you know pulling and all

these things like serotonin and dopamine

and now you really want sugar to get

that pleasure so now you’re addicted

so really addictions are a side effect

unfortunately in medicine right now

they’re trying to make addictions of

everything a disease that must be

treated with medication it’s crazy

you’re going to see more and more of

that but it’s it’s not the truth the

truth is that addictions are a symptom

of

something else and that’s what you need

to fix not this thing over here thanks

Lisa all right Karen okay so I just I

just got word that for the YouTube users

it is true the the cheat sheet link is

blocked by some third party blah blah

didn’t get the whole thing but you will

receive it later in the day so okay cool

stay tuned okay and

that’s what I was working on while you

were doing something else like a call

from Cynthia’s she’s from Los Angeles

she’s been waiting 23 minutes and 49

seconds go ahead Cynthia

hi guys

yeah I love you both and I’m really

excited about your success and what

you’re doing for people all over the

world I’m so excited about that and I’m

in tears to talking to you because I

just love you guys to death anyway

I’m calling because dr. Berg I have been

in doing intermittent fasting for

probably four or five months and I

started losing weight and then I could

not like each eye I was I was not being

a good girl and I would like drink some

a little bit of alcohol and have some

wine and you know and then I would have

I wasn’t really cheating a lot but it

was enough to throw me off but I decided

to really be ethical about it and start

doing this full-time you know a hundred

percent what what happened is I started

breaking out in my face now I have

psoriasis which I talked to you about

before but this is different this

breakout on my face is it’s red and it’s

under my eye and it’s on my cheek and

you know I’m a little vain so it’s

freaking me out and I don’t know what to

do look so Cynthia I have you really

cleaned up the diet and gone back or are

you still a little bit off the

only thing I’m doing because I am doing

intermittent fasting I’m only eating

twice a day if anything the only thing

I’m eating is this because I haven’t

been able to get your ice cream yet is

this certain ice cream in it the only

thing it has in it is agave but other

than that I’m pretty a hundred percent

okay good so I think it’s the agave

agave is very very interesting it has

it’s considered a low glycemic but

that’s just because 98% of its fructose

which means it infects the it goes after

the liver not the blood sugars right

away so it’ll go right to the liver and

it creates insulin resistance and a

whole bunch of other problems try an

experiment and I I’m almost 100%

positive this will work cut out that ice

cream okay don’t eat any ice cream right

now and then within a week see if your

skin doesn’t clear out I think it’s the

fructose there’s always something in the

diet in the diet that’s doing that the

other thing that’s good for the skin is

that like trace mcplantz trace minerals

that also helps the skin iodine is good

for

or cyst

but the other thing that’ll be good is

the B vitamins especially if you’re

doing keto and Aulus and you get like

rashes and stuff the B vitamins from

nutritional yeast help but I think I

would get off the agava nectar and

you’ll be totally fine your skin will

come back really nicely alright Cynthia

thanks for calling okay Karen okay so I

have Eunice here from Facebook and she

wants to know how long can you do one

meal a day

you can do it for 23 hours and then go

right back for the next meal yeah no you

could do one meal a day believe it or

not if you want to check and you

probably won’t have

this happen but when you go into one

meal a day you got a serious amount of

called etapa G which is the body

recycling itself cleaning itself out

anti-aging and it’s really awesome I

have this book that I just got I’m like

into it hardcore I have to use the

dictionary because there’s a lot of big

words but what happens is you start

doing that the need for the absolute

high end of like your RDAs go down

because you’re conserving and recycling

your nutrients your protein your fatty

acids so in other words you can do it

for a long term now if you start finding

that your hair is falling out you’re

getting tired and you don’t feel very

good which by the way is really really

rare then you might need to add enhance

that with more nutrients externally but

I’m finding that people are doing it

they’re loving it they’re not hungry and

it kind of throws off this whole myth

that you know if you don’t eat you’re

gonna starve yourself you like people

freaked out that’s not really what’s

happening you’re not starving what

you’re eating is your own fat the meal

that you’re eating is your fat and that

has a lot of energy and so

you’re not starving when you’re not

eating the meal is your own body just

happens to be on your midsection green

lips or your hips yeah so yeah was that

a long answer to a short question yeah

but I have another question okay okay so

Adrian on YouTube is is asking so

adrenal body types should not fast or

can fast no they need to fast okay the

only thing is they a lot of adrenal

cases have hypoglycemia and if you fast

too quickly you’re gonna crash and burn

because what happens the blood sugars go

down and then what kicks in there is the

adrenal the adrenal has a natural

counter thing where raised the sugar and

especially adrenaline and then there

goes the cortisol so that’s really what

happens so as long as you do it

gradually with may be supporting be

vitamins and minerals you’re gonna be

totally fine it’ll take the stress off

the Drina ’ls and you actually help heal

of the adrenals but I did want to

mention Karen we have a little

Facebook group that we just started yes

and this is called the doctor burst Kido

an eminent lab so we’re doing all sorts

of experiments and it’s people like what

what are you gonna do on me well we

can’t really do anything to you because

it’s all online so it’s just basically a

community that we can share successful

actions it’s pure so don’t bring

your affiliate Lakes don’t try to

promote stuff it’s not meant to hey try

this other diet the - diet no no we’re

not going to talk about these things

that don’t work we’re gonna talk about

what we found that seems to be

successful so you can actually go to

Facebook and sign up for that and we’ll

let you in and just don’t use any swear

words be nice yeah be friendly that

99.99% are super super nice yeah you do

have occasional troll but we can do it

oh yeah and if you actually if you see a

troll saying something like that just

let us know anything Sasa well nixon

okay we’ll take them in the back and

okay now I want to go to a question

magic from Sedona Arizona wow that must

be a nice place to live go ahead oh

hey thanks dr. Byrd for all you’ve done

in Terran - you’ve made a great

difference in my life and my stepdads

got pancreatic

cancer and he’s having trouble keeping

anything down I was wondering if there

was any diet or supplements or anything

you would recommend for that yeah good

question sorry to hear that magic but

here’s some here’s some things that you

can do

one of the one of the probably right off

the bat the thing that I would do with

him and he’s probably already doing this

is in a minute fasting because he can’t

keep anything down I would do a

combination of in a minute fasting with

that something that’s easy to digest

that’s really really really high in

nutrients probably like a bone broth

type thing like a soup with garlic and

onions in there that would be great

this is the case where I’d probably do

pure vegetable juices you can juice it

and get it down but not with an apple in

there and not with any fruit at all just

pure vegetable juice okay that you juice

you by hand all organic and and start

doing that a few times a day the protein

that you’re going to need is going to be

important because

maybe you might have to do just maybe a

little bit of high-quality egg or

something like that to get his amino

acids broccoli sprouts are really hot in

fact all the sprouts I would be

sprouting and trying to do as much

sprout as I can and just really avoid

anything GMO soy things like that any

sugar and let him heal but Dean Amanda

fasting is gonna be very very beneficial

though that’s what I would recommend

okay magic thanks for calling all right

Karen we’re going to you okay me a

really good question this time

[Laughter]

I was I was still working a little bit

on the cheat form here I know you guys

are trying to get it and anybody that

types it in to Facebook you will

eventually get it and we’re gonna figure

out a link the link on YouTube don’t

worry we’ll be promoting it all over the

place the other thing I wanted to ask

about dr. Berg is

this

audio

book thing you have going the cool USB

did you want to mention that this is

it’s a new thing I just put and I’m

gonna create a video in this I just put

this entire book in 7:19 seminars okay

that was some serious work to actually

have to read my book again which I

actually I found it’s pretty cool it’s

like there’s a lot of great information

in that book so I did a video in every

single chapter and it just I’ll be able

to put it on a link that you can go and

watch the videos but we also put the

audio version on a USB and there’s a

little adapter you can download it to

your cell phone so that’s on the site

right now that’s available you can check

that out it’s just going to really help

you get the full breadth of all the data

in here and you know driving your car or

basically when you’re jogging or walking

you could listen to this data dr. Burke

I hear music

could it could it really be 12 o’clock

it’s 12 o’clock and hey guys I really

appreciate your questions your wonderful

comments I’m glad that it’s helping you

stay tuned next week will be the same

time same place same bat-time

yeah and definitely join the facebook

group if you want more data okay alright

thanks guys thanks
