all right welcome back

we have another show another q a

anything that i say is not meant to

diagnose replace your medical care

uh check with your doctor before

implementing all the things that we’re

going to talk about

and let’s just dive right in i see

there’s a lot of questions lined up and

a lot of quiz questions too so

let’s do it we’re going to get to it and

the first person is coming on with you

dr berg is ashley from newport beach he

has 14 kids three jobs and a shaky

camera so we want to make sure she gets

on first but she lives in newport beach

what a beautiful california beautiful

place ashley you’re on with dr berg

hello good morning dr berg

good morning

he was lying about the 14 kids

i was wondering that’s a lot of kids

i have four though one two and a half

four and fourteen so lots going on

business i have a very stressful life

um but my question is my husband and i

started healthy keto and intermittent

fasting

uh back in mid-february

and i’ve lost 20 pounds

maybe a little bit more and i’ve pretty

much completely

plateaued

for the past

at least

couple months

i’ve been trying different things and

i’m kind of stuck so i

was hopeful that maybe you could help me

okay so um

question

um

is your appetite gone do you do you no

longer have an appetite or you get

hungry uh more than you should

it was gone for a significant amount of

time and then i would say within the

past

three months give or take i do

like i i want to eat but not like

i’m starving i just around my one meal a

day i do one meal a day um i definitely

want to eat it’s not that i don’t want

to eat i i do feel hungry

okay

is there um how how close do you think

you’re following um

the idea of eating like a 100 or maybe

like maybe 80 90 or

where are you at with that i feel

i personally feel like i’m right there

100 percent like i’m eating under 20

carbs um i do

um eat a lot of like

i do cheese i do the avocado i do the

salad with every meal

i’ve experimented with two meals a day

um i’ve been doing the one meal a day

for quite a while but i’ve been really

you know watching your youtube videos

like crazy trying to figure you know

myself out

and it’s been tough my husband you know

lost all his weight um and he’s you know

doing great and i’m just struggling over

here and how is your your sleep and your

stress level

stress level is horrible if i’m being

like brutally honest um

sleep is overall really good i have

amazing energy um

since you know following this my energy

has definitely increased quite a bit i

feel like i sleep good i definitely do

wake up you know sometimes it’s with the

little one um here and there but if i’m

getting like straight uninterrupted

sleep daily no

but i would say that i do get you know

decent sleep

but the stress is for sure a thing

do you um have you ever checked your

ketones and your blood sugars and kind

of do you have any of that data

yes

yes um my blood sugars um are fine um

i’ve been you know following with my

doctor i was diagnosed years ago with

pcos

i did used to weigh

244 pounds

right now i weigh about 164 163 that’s

kind of the number i can’t get past

um my weight loss journey has been

like years

in the in the making you know i lost 20

pounds

in like 2011

and then it was like another 20 i did

something else another 20.

um and the pcos i’ve been checked for

recently i think it was in may

and she checked all my levels my

hormones everything and she goes you

don’t have pcos everything your

testosterone everything looks good

got it and um and then do you um

um

like i don’t want to get into specifics

with stress but uh is there something

that you you can do about it or is it

just like an uncontrollable thing where

you’re stuck between a rock and roll a

car place

it’s a work in progress with the stress

for sure

but definitely just

i would say like my day-to-day is pretty

stressful just because of my family

dynamic right now

we are making some changes to help with

that

but i also wanted to ask you do you

think that

high intensity like cardio would make a

difference or what is your thought on

that

because i don’t work out regularly i do

walk but i’m not like very very active

with working out

yeah i think you know if we look at what

we what we have to do is like i mean if

you’re eating one meal a day i mean and

you’re doing it right you should be

losing weight obviously there’s

something that’s stopping you you have a

history of pcos which means you have a

lot of history of insulin resistance and

so

um you know i’m not going to get into

the specifics but probably at one time

your your insulin was very high and so

now we have trying to bring that thing

down yes and so um

so the the thing with stress is stress

activates cortisol cortisol actually

believe it or not

is like eating sugar because it it’s a

glucocorticoid it

it

causes the liver to make sugar out of

fat out of ketones out of things that

you’re not even eating

so that that has to be the big reason so

i think you’re right i think that

exercise like intense exercise maybe

twice a week starting out like really

hardcore just just for your stress too

and lower your stress

um and actually mobilize some of this

maybe extra sugar that your the cortisol

is making

um

so yeah so the the stress thing is like

what about your supplement

something to support the adrenal and i

think the best one for you would be the

cortisol adrenal support

that would be good i think that would

help you i purchased it i haven’t used

it yet but i i did purchase it we have

and i have used your the blood sugar

support

um i’ve used that i bought the the vita

uh excuse me the flakes um i’m blanking

out on the proper name for them but we

have those the nutritional yeast flakes

yeah um i do take

i take vitamins um

yeah i’m just i just really want to get

to my goal of around 140 and then

that’s amazing so so you’re on your way

so this next month i just want you just

to focus really in on this uh

stress do everything you can to counter

it to resolve it to be more in control

of it because the good stress is stuff

that you can control like exercise but

then the bad stress is

not like out of your control your

you know family and all these other

things so if you could just sort out

what you have to do to

kind of

get get to stress-free life as possible

and then let’s see what happens in the

meantime you can add the exercise and

you can also do

maybe on the weekends do a longer fast

then maybe do a 48-hour fast because

that will at least something that you

can do about it and to change things

around

until until you’re um that’s one of the

only things i haven’t done

is the 48 hour fast i’ve kind of been a

little hesitant i’m not going to lie

because i do feel hungry when it’s my

one meal a day time

um

so if you feel changing up meal times at

all what’s going to happen is if you can

um just not eat you’re going to get

hungry but what’s happening is you’re

your body is shifting over to burning

fat to the point where

and then it’ll shift over so you’ll go

through a little bit of

uncomfortableness but then

your body is forced because of low

glucose and glove insulin to now eat

your own fat and that is what you want

to do

so um

when you’re hungry it just means that

your body is still shifting over and

then when the hunger goes away then we

know you’re in hardcore fat probably

would help

your metabolism too because will drop

down that set point so i do recommend

that um

uh regular prolonged fasting 48 hours

like once a week i think

that’s just what your your metabolism

needs because of the past pcos problem

okay so give that a try

all right that’s good great well thanks

so much ashley for a great initial call

and boy i do so uh you know admire moms

four kids when my kids were little i’d

just pick one up and say lori take this

so i’m very wimpy in that regard i can’t

keep that many balls in here at the same

time but anyway so admire that and i

also love newport beach used to live

there on 44th street so ashley and i

were reminiscing over that but enough

about that let’s go to the first quiz

question

all right what is the cause of most

oh yeah of the most common brain damage

in children

now that’s interesting

and it’s not accidents

so um let’s see see what people have to

say about that i’m talking about brain

damage what’s the most common cause in

children

all right it relates to nutrition by the

way

it usually does doesn’t it doc let’s see

now um okay we’ve got to get to social

media they’ve been waiting over there

patiently

and jason from youtube how can i get rid

of old acne scars

there’s a product from standard process

you can look it up do a search it’s

called

dermatrophian pmg

and you have to take like one

before bed for about

several months

and that that seems to help with um old

scars and you can also add

some topical vitamin e oil on the um on

the skin itself before you go to bed

just rub that into the scar and it’ll

help break down the scar

and then the last thing you could do is

um

do some prolonged fasting because you’re

going to

trigger autophagy an autophagy is a it’s

going to clean out

old damaged proteins

and that’s what scar tissue is not just

of your your skin but of the uh

the liver too

wonderful and ricky thank you for being

so patient on youtube he was our first

question today wants to know if he can

use mustard oil on the keto diet it’s

more available than olive oil in

southeast asia

oh absolutely that sounds like a good

one

absolutely

terrific okay royal in from also from

youtube with vitamin excuse me if

vitamin k2 adds more calcium to our

bones can too much cause bone spurs

no no no it’s not gonna it’s not gonna

go

over you’re not gonna be able to um get

more than your body’s designed to get

so it’s not going to be a problem

all right okay is the moniker this

person’s going from their name is okay

uh okay go excuse me from youtube what

are your suggestions to treat leg edema

well

the first thing is potassium you need

more potassium

uh based on your potassium is sodium

ratio so we need a lot more potassium

you know a lot bigger salads you can get

a potassium electrolyte supplement and

just push out that fluid

but of course then you want to also

um change your diet because if you have

an edema

chances are

you may be doing too many carbohydrates

that’s the most likely cause

because when you eat sugar and refined

carbs your

your body stores that with with fluid so

it tends to just think about um any type

of sugar as a water retaining

sponge okay

and so just you hold water with with

sugar

okay that’s terrific before we go to our

first quiz answer let’s take one more

from youtube donna can you discuss how

to heal from and stop acid reflux

usually the acid reflux is not enough

acid in your stomach believe it or not

um it’s kind of surprising to people but

if you actually take betaine

hydrochloride that’s a good remedy or

even some apple cider vinegar uh you can

get them in tablets and you take that

before a meal maybe take like four of

those betaine hydrochloride and that

will acidify the stomach so now the

sensor and the valve on the top of the

stomach can finally close

and then it you don’t have that acid

reflux anymore now um

a couple other things with acid reflux

if you take this butane hydrochloride

and it burns that means you have an

ulcer so you can’t really use that

approach for a while you have to kind of

heal the ulcer first

then take the acid later and you can

search my videos on what to do for

ulcers

wonderful okay our first quiz question

of the day asks

what is the cause or most most common

cause of brain damage in children little

kids the audience said 77 say its cause

is sugar 20 say soy proteins and a lousy

three percent say lead

so this is interesting because um

it’s an iodine deficiency

when when a mother doesn’t have enough

iodine in their diet when they’re

carrying

a baby

um or when they’re breastfeeding or or

that small child is deficient in iodine

what happens is it really affects the

growth and development of the brain and

can you can end up not just with a lower

iq but actual brain damage so that’s

actually fascinating that a nutritional

deficiency could create damage so he

just goes to show you how important

nutrient nutrients are and um and what

um how important uh when you’re pregnant

eating the right things um i mean that’s

just so crucial and you can prevent so

many issues

well that’s terrific well you know we’ve

got so many cultures and races and and

habits and so on but the one thing

around the world we can all agree on is

lifestyle makes a huge difference and

evidence that the type of lifestyle that

you are

promoting dr berg is very very popular

and here’s evidence a good morning from

all our viewers who are joining from the

uk canada india japan netherlands poland

algeria greece australia mexico norway

france pakistan nepal italy cameroon

roon uganda taiwan scotland new zealand

the czech republic iraq germany belgium

chile belize been their beautiful place

bermuda switzerland trinidad and tobago

the philippines libya

sweden wow terry argentina kuwait peru

austria beautiful place uh maritis if i

said that right nigeria colombia iran

south africa croatia saudi arabia egypt

hungary ireland cyprus jordan kenya

singapore jamaica serbia

boy that’s got to be a record and all

across these united states and he

probably had canada in there no he did

our neighbors from the north so thanks

everybody for joining the show and

making it such a big success it is

really growing our numbers are

skyrocketing because of uh all the great

content that we get from you listeners

and questions in our green room it makes

it more interesting

so let’s see

so we don’t have anyone from north korea

this time i don’t know why why that is

well kim tried to call him but i was

annoyed with him so i cut him off

okay

so anyway but d is available d van knee

from facebook is it okay to take

painkillers while fasting i have

cervical cancer oh gosh and need the

painkillers to ease my pain

well i can’t tell you not to take your

medication but um i mean you got to do

what you got to do right

but

there’s a great video on my last

interview with someone who was a cancer

survivor that had pain

when they were had cancer

and

fasting

tremendously tremendously helped that

with the omega-3

fatty acids so you might want to

beef up your omega-3 fatty acids for the

pain as well as your vitamin d levels

to probably 40 or 50 000 i use vitamin d

because vitamin d is one of the best

pain and inflammation

um natural remedies without any side

effects

so i would i would attempt that but i do

understand the pain

all right we’ll bring up another

question a second how am i one more from

youtube uh and this is a pretty you know

unfortunately a

common question that people would have

from a lifestyle limas from youtube is

it possible to reverse the damage of by

a life of partying hard frequent use of

recreational drugs and alcohol has

affected my breathing mental health what

should i be doing now presuming that

he’s uh cease that sort of lifestyle

i think it’s totally possible if you

even take me as an example on how much

sugar and junk food i ate my whole life

and

the amount of injuries and accidents so

yes i think you can turn things around

absolutely and at least improve things

significantly so um the best thing to do

is to start with the basics keep it

simple um and i actually if you go to uh

my my website dr berg.com under blog the

first video says

first video start here and then you do

the second video in the third video so

just to make it easy but yes um you’d be

surprised how far the body can come back

um

but the key is

to start learn from other people’s

mistakes including my own so you can

avoid having to go through that because

it’s

it’s it’s terrible so

the answer would be yes well god speed

to you on that endeavor sir and let’s go

to the next question and there it is

all right out of all the foods that you

can eat

which one

which one

causes the biggest iodine deficiency

interesting

i’ll be curious what you guys have to

say about that one yeah have added

audience and now uh next up i think

we’ll go back to the green room uh heidi

has one question and by the way she’s a

musician so she has this great studio

and i’m going to reward her with the

best sounding uh audio that we’ve ever

had on the air go ahead hiding

good morning dr berg good morning

i um

i have three conditions i’m struggling

with and one question

so um right now i have got ibs and colon

swelling i have got pityriasis rocia i

think we’re tentatively calling it that

um and i’m following your vitamin dk

glutamine

omega-3 protocol for that with bile

salts that i ordered from your website

and my question is all summer i’ve been

having a lack of sleep

and if i take your gallbladder formula

right before bed

with my eight magnesiums which is my

normal amount of magnesium all of a

sudden i’m sleeping like a baby

i just would love an explanation for why

that is and whether i should be taking

your gallbladder formula right before

bed

well um this the factory of inflammation

tells me that um

there’s um probably a lack of

absorption of

certain nutrients especially the fat

soluble ones

so here you were taking bio right before

bed and i think you said vitamin d right

yeah so i’ve been watching all your

videos and they’ve really helped i

realized i’m low acid so i have bile

salts as well as your gallbladder

formula which has really been helping

meal times

but for some reason it’s been really

helping magnesium absorption

yeah well you need you need magnesium

for the absorption of vitamin d

so they all kind of tie in it’s almost

like a triad type thing where you have

um

magnesium vitamin d and then also

calcium but but the point is that um

it’s very difficult to absorb

any fat cyber vitamins without the bile

salt so you could be you could be low

because if you have this uh inflammatory

condition in your gut your

there’s always a kind of a dysbiosis is

alteration in your microbiome and then

also um

adding that that bile salt

helps to help the flow of the liver too

so you have now you don’t have any

thickness in the bio everything kind of

flows really nicely to the liver so

you’re probably getting both absorption

and nice

flow through your liver from the bile

ducts

because i’ll tell you

when you start having thickened bile

especially in the in that area

that can severely affect your sleep

cycles big time um

so

and also like i think um

you know your microbes make secondary

bile so you might just be very deficient

and you just need to actually put that

back the other function of bile from a

microbe standpoint is that

to kill off microbes in the small

intestine to prevent sibo which is small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth so

if you have maybe if there’s something

going on with that and then you take

bile salts you basically kill all these

microbes that are in the wrong place

so uh there’s it could be a lot of

different explanations yeah

i agree

i actually had um low acid or no i had

acid reflux in the spring and they put

me on protein pump inhibitors and after

watching your videos i realized that was

the exact wrong thing to do that i

actually needed to acidify so it has

been helping i just was very confused

about the magnesium does vitamin d

absorption like because i’m taking 40

000 ius a day does that cause magnesium

to deplete faster

the need for vitamin u

need for magnesium does go up if you

take more so yes so you want to take

more and

you know um even i think the

the rdas for uh magnesium are are low so

um and magnesium is also held inside the

cell not outside the cell so when you do

a blood test it’s like it’s kind of

worthless you need to do an

intracellular so i think most people

need a lot more magnesium than they

think especially if there’s damage in

the in the intestines so

um i think

anyone who has damaged intestines need

to needs to just take more of everything

and then um

probably be careful of too many fibers

because sometimes that can irritate like

even vegetable fibers sometimes you have

to do like fermented or even carnivore

for a little while depending on how bad

it is but

um yeah it’s a it’s a very common common

issue

well heidi thank you so much for joining

us and get back with us and let us know

just how terrific

uh your success story becomes and let’s

see i think we have a answer from terry

let me look okay so question number two

very exciting one as usual asked out of

all the foods which one causes the

biggest iodine deficiency and our

audience again seventy percent um the

lump that uh we have says bread refined

or refined grain twenty five percent say

lectins and five percent say refined

sugar

okay so um iodine

is a little bit different because it’s

uh um

there are certain foods that uh

are

that can

grocerogenic which basically means it

blocks the the binding of iodine so the

one that’s the worst is cassava so

in countries where you consume a lot of

cassava as a regular

food

they have very very high levels of

iodine deficiency despite consuming

a lot of seafood

so um

so in other words

that cassava if you if you’re consuming

quesadilla you better be taking

sea kelp or some type of iodine

to prevent that deficiency

because even in adults it can affect

their iq if they’re iodine deficient

wow

okay well thanks for answering that

question uh folks and we’ll have another

one up for you quick and let’s look

uh for another question from our folks

in this case in facebook veronica this

must be for her husband i hope what do

you recommend to take to decrease

prostate enlargement so veronica’s

prostate is giving you trouble

well um

the the most important thing is you

probably have to be careful about dairy

because there’s a lot of hormones in

milk that can affect the prostate gland

and so um that would be the first thing

i would recommend is to look at that

the other thing too is like um

be careful about anything that’s

estrogenic like um like the soy things

like that avoid that and then

insulin is another one too like cut out

the carbs because insulin is a anabolic

hormone that can make things grow

um

but if you watch my video on the

prostate my recent one um i have a lot

of very specific advice that can help

your husband

that’s terrific good luck with that anna

from youtube i’ve purchased some of your

products recently good movina what is

the best time of day to take k2d3

vitamin b1 mct and turmeric with

coumadin i guess or

curcumin i’m sorry terry i can’t

pronounce that cumin yes well i think um

um

if you take the curcumin or

the turmeric

i would take that ideally with your meal

okay so you can probably take all these

with the meals because some of these

products have

not just fat soluble vitamins but they

have

phytonutrients which most of them are

fat soluble so

um either take those with the mc2i on an

empty stomach or take it with the meal

you may be your first or second meal and

you just get a little bit better

absorption it’s not a total necessary

thing but it’s it’ll help you um

but yeah so like um

like the uh curcumin is a it’s a fat

soluble molecule so

um

that’s why

with oil and health or fat it’ll help to

be absorbed better

very good okay lydia from youtube what

is what natural remedies and diet are

best for someone in menopause and

unfortunately suffering with high

anxiety and panic attacks

well

you know i i go right to the vitamin b1

b1 is uh is great for panic attacks

nervous anxiety

that is

probably going to help you with a

breathing technique of slowing your

breath down i actually if you look under

the video on panic attacks there’s a

great

breathing

exercise that can just pull you out of

anxiety but it sounds like you need more

b1 b1 is

is the wonderful natural if you get a

natural version of it uh not the

synthetic it’s just so wonderful for

pulling you out of these

this panic this anxiety this nervous

tension

um

more more people should try it and just

you’ll notice within 10 minutes actually

sometimes even five minutes you’ll

notice this

calmness

so we we need more b1 especially if

you’re drinking a lot of coffee or tea

which depletes b1 not to mention the

refined carbohydrates we which is a

given which you’re probably all

everyone listening is already on a

perfect keto diet so we don’t even need

to talk about that all right very good

maggie from facebook is there a way to

shrink excess skin without surgery

yeah there’s um the best thing is a

combination of several things um

you want to do um

definitely periodic prolonged fasting to

start to um have your body recycle some

of the extra protein the collagen that’s

stretched out

with a good amount of vigorous exercise

those two you need to really focus on

more than the average person to

get some tightening action going on i

will be doing a video on

some other things that can help you um

topically as well

um

they’re not perfect but they they will

tend to help to a certain point

very good carla from youtube what should

i do when i’m on keto and feeling

bloated after eating leafy greens

yeah chances are there’s some gut issues

you’re going to have to back off those

and not

not consume as many

and

probably try fermented like sauerkraut

things like that and then the other

thing that i found with some people that

works really good is if they take like a

liquid probiotic

and i’m not biased of my own liquid

probiotic but i am but you take a little

bit of that with your salad it seems to

get rid of the bloating so now we come

back down to these microbes right

needing more microbes to help you digest

the fiber

[Music]

in fact your body can’t

digest some of this fiber so that’s why

we need microbes

so

they really help us out

so it’s they’re just quite amazing that

they can digest the fiber but we can’t

and so um

that just means that we need to fortify

you a little bit more

very good

okay next question up this has got to

affect at least half the world’s

population a concern to them doc

what is the top food for uh pregnant

women to endure

a baby’s health

or to achieve a baby’s health

very good okay dig onto that audience we

know that won’t take them very long at

all let’s go back to the green room and

we had a nice guy named eric on with us

in tustin california a neighbor of

ashley but then he upped the ante and

went to the virgin islands and that’s

where

he lives now and he has a rapid fire

single question for you dr berg eric

you’re on the air

hello dr berg how are you

great thanks i want to let you know that

i’ve been doing healthy keto with

intermittent fasting for almost two

years and i simply love it and

and thank you for having me it’s an

honor and privilege and thank you for

all the wonderful content that you post

thank you so much you’re welcome yeah so

i have a question i saw your video

regarding intermittent fasting and i

guess i do have like a three part

question but they’re all related to the

same topic but i’ll make it quick

so my question is my first part question

is how often should i

do a prolonged fast for a healthy

individual that does not need to lose

weight

you’re the last part of that question

kind of disappeared

oh

oh i was gonna no um like yeah i was

gonna ask um like what it how often

should i prolong fast for a healthy

individual that does not need to lose

weight oh okay so i mean

if you did if you just did a 48-hour

fast every two weeks i mean that would

be enough that would be that would be

hot i mean even if you could do it once

a month that would be good but yeah so

just realize when you do these periodic

prolonged fasting you do a lot you you

actually you can shrink polyps you can

kill cancer with it you can beef up your

immune system

you can add to your longevity um

so

you know it’s one of those things where

i wouldn’t say the more you do it the

better it’s going to be like you can’t

for some reason we can’t fast

indefinitely that’s that’s dangerous so

we do it periodically right to the point

where

you feel you still feel good and

you have some fat to run but even a thin

person

has like a hundred

thousand calories of extra fat on their

body so

um they can do easily periodic prolonged

fasting but

i mean ideally

i mean between once every two weeks and

once a month that would be good

yeah and then and then my follow-up

question with that is that do i need to

be concerned with sarcopenia when doing

these prolonged fasts

no no you don’t because that’s more of a

pathological

breakdown of your muscle tissue with

aging typically and that’s an unhealthy

state

where you um

you see what happens when you do fasting

the body does um it has all these

amazing

uh chromosomes and genes that just

become activated to prevent muscle loss

so there’s a protective mechanism there

and you get a spike in growth hormone so

you have this

protein sparing action it’s called and

yeah you don’t have to worry about that

you’re not going to develop sarcopenia

at all that’s

that’s when you have a severe

nutritional deficiency when you’re older

or when you’re literally you know in

starvation

yeah and and then my last question is

regarding to autophagy and my question

is is that uh what specific hour does

that autophagy hits

yeah we don’t know exactly but it’s

roughly um i’m just going to give you my

two cents on it i think if you can

you start getting uh into tophaji at

like 18 hour fast

um of course you know even when you

exercise there’s a bit of autophagy but

when you start fasting 18 hours and then

20 then you start getting more and then

even 20

23 hours then you’re getting

some really good

autophagy kicking in there and then when

you do

like three days like you get some

serious autophagy so

um autophagy is like a self-cleaning

oven uh phenomena where your body is

like just cleaning up

um cleaning house getting rid of old

stuff it doesn’t need getting rid of

plaquing in your brain and um helping

your immune system uh especially yeah

well thank you so much and yes like when

i did a prolonged pass before like i’m

listen i made the same mistake as you

did where

where i always like after a five weeks

like uh not a five week but a one week

fast and i was eating this food and i

just couldn’t do it so i just there was

too much food i made the same mistake as

you did so so thank you so yeah so i

listen learn so thank you so much

learn from my

mistakes i tell you what our other

contestants can learn from eric because

he knocked out three questions fast and

kept it tight how professional is that

so we hope to hear back from you with

all your successes

eric on the next round now let’s see did

we

ask this question yes we did let me see

if terry’s got an answer uh and the the

question was for half the residents of

the world what is the top food for

pregnant women to ensure a baby’s health

and terry claims that the audience 82

percent of them say omega-3 or fatty

fish 10 say foods rich in vitamin d and

8 say foods rich into folic acid

yes you you’re all on the right track

but the absolute absolute best food is

the seafood shellfish in seafood uh

because of the trace minerals and

omega-3

all right that’s terrific let’s see who

uh

modestor from facebook please discuss

how to address chronic

site oh i thought it was cirrhosis

cytosis cytosis cythesis

it’s a

c-y-s-t-i-t-i-s according to terry

so you’re talking about uh you’re

talking about a bladder probably a

bladder uh

infection where there’s pain right is

that what you’re saying uh i’m not sure

uh that’s just what he wrote he didn’t

address it modester just just said okay

so so yeah um

um you know there’s um marshmallow root

is a

is a good remedy for that but the bottom

line is that um

i would i would drink a lot of water i

would probably add some apple cider

vinegar i would add lemon to the water

start really increasing your flow of

urine through there because sometimes

things can kind of settle and you can

get a little infection and then also but

the biggest thing is to change your diet

make sure there’s not any sugar to feed

bacteria so you got to keep the sugar

way way down

well that’s great we’ll terry our uh

grammarian uh says it’s

a sister oh good sis titus cis titus

thank you carrie

he’s always got my back okay let’s see

where else are we uh honor from facebook

i’ve only been eating beef butter bacon

coffee and eggs in the last eight days

but now i’m having pain in my knees hips

tailbone my ketones are high and my

glucose is 75 any more recommendations

well are you doing enough uh greens in

salad i mean um i always recommend seven

to ten cups so it doesn’t sound like

you’re doing that um and also when you

do kind of like just the bacon eggs and

heavy fat um you gotta make sure you

have enough bile too to support the flow

of

of of of just the so it doesn’t your bio

doesn’t get thick and you have to digest

that and you might not be used to it um

so i go back to the orig the either my

book which i don’t have around here or

the website on exactly

how to have that perfect meal to be

to prevent

some of the side effects that you’re

running into

okay karen watching on youtube what’s

the best way to remove moles or skin

tags

you know iodine you put a little drop of

iodine on there with a little little

band-aid and that seems to work the best

and it seems to make those things

disappear

so try that out and then

i think you’ll be surprised well that’s

fantastic okay why don’t we go back to

the green room

and parisha from virginia has been

waiting very patiently or her one brief

question for you dr burke hang on let me

get her up here and parisha if you’d

unmute yourself and go ahead with your

question

yes hi dr burke and thank you so much

for your time

um so my question is i had surgery back

in 2013 tyrodectomy they removed my

thyroid glands so basically i don’t have

that gland unfortunately

so since then i’m on centroid also my

doctors think that i’m insulin resistant

and i’m unmetforming

um and pre-diabetic

so my a1c is normal uh but he thinks

that i re insulin resistance so i read

your books i watch your videos i got the

i think according to the quiz body quiz

i’m tyric body type

so um

my question is what other suggestion you

have for somebody like me without

thyroid gland what i can do to be

healthier as far as diet exercise

well here’s the thing um if you get on

like what we’re recommending a good

healthy keto plan with intermittent

fasting you’re immediately going to take

the pressure

off your thyroid and it won’t have to

work so hard because the type of fuel

you’re going to be using is more

efficient so you definitely need to do

that and

as far as the thyroid itself you want to

provide the thyroid because you have to

take the medication but we want to

provide the thyroid with all the

raw materials it needs because it’s not

always necessarily just iodine you might

need selenium for the conversion you

might need vitamin d and zinc for that

conversion

so that that would be on that healthy

version of the ketogenic diet that i

recommend so um

so you want to kind of eliminate one

problem at a time and i think the bet

this the biggest one is the insulin

resistance

problem first because they did surgery

in the thyroid and thank goodness out of

all the problems you have

um that one you can you can live with

without a thyroid and do fine as long as

you strengthen the other areas and

you’re

um

making sure the dosage is just right if

you could find a doctor to maybe

recommend arm or thyroid that might be a

little bit better even though they don’t

like doing it because it’s harder to

regulate but

you’re probably on centroid but um

that’s just a thought on that um

but that’s what i would do for sure okay

thank you so much

great thank you so much parisha good

luck with that

issue i hope you feel like a million

bucks soon okay let’s go to

back to

youtube where iris is asking are

cranberries good for a bladder infection

yes they they cause the bacteria not to

stick

to the wall so they allow the bacteria

to go through uh that would be good like

an unsweetened cranberry juice diluted

um yeah that that would be good for you

to take

very good laura from facebook are there

any specific supplements you recommend

for kids who are picky eaters and don’t

like any veggies

you know um

we are uh finally coming out we finally

actually figured out how to make a

multi-vitamin taste good for kids it’s a

kid’s vitamin that has food base

because

there isn’t anything out there that’s

food based without the extra added

synthetics and all that so we have one

that that will be good but there’s also

um

a veggie solution it’s called veggie

solution it’s a um

it’s a drink with um a combination of

moringa

as well as spirulina the two things that

are like super high nutrient dense with

flavored with a little bit of stevia if

you get get that shake it’s called

veggie solution put in some water and

have your your kids take that at least

in the meantime

but here’s the thing that i i’m actually

would like to suggest

get a garden get them to help you grow

food

there’s even these hydroponic or

aeroponic units you can get in the house

and get them involved in

growing salad and growing food that

tastes really good because it’s nutrient

dense because you’re going to find that

when a child consumes like real

nutrient-dense foods

they you’ll be surprised how much they

go wow this is very very different most

the foods now and vegetables that you

eat it’s like they’re empty from the

grocery store so

you go to farmers market you find a farm

locally that you can work with or grow

your own

and you’d be surprised

uh even jared my videographer

i gave him some asparagus that he

absolutely hates from my garden

and he’s like what the heck is this he

said he would eat this so um if you have

really good stuff you know kids will eat

it um but it is a problem and um

get them involved with making keto

treats get them involved with growing

things

and then um hopefully they’ll

they’ll start to include that

right or

have some new kit have some more new

babies and then start them off on

don’t even show them anything other than

the which what they should be eating and

then you’re you’re good to go and

isolate them for the next 18 years i’m

being very sarcastic well here’s an

isolation tip send them to the room

without xbox they’ll be running for

lettuce if you do that believe me oh

right absolutely

okay listen uh

thyroid is a big topic today so i’m

going to hit you with a two questioner

there’s believer and then d from music

to them a believer on youtube has four

nodules on their thyroid not sure as a

bored girl and i’ve gained 70 pounds in

a year but my physician doesn’t seem to

concern

what i should be doing let’s start with

that

that is an estrogen dominant situation i

would highly recommend start on

seek help because iodine helps regulate

that excess estrogen that’s stuck in the

thyroid and it’s great for

fibrocystic breast problem it’s great

for cysts on the ovaries it’s great for

cysts on the thyroid

so seek help

that’s the remedy all right well that

might help dee who also asked about the

thyroid from facebook from facebook can

gallbladder surgery affect your thyroid

what should i be doing after that

surgery

yeah because these the thyroid um

has to convert 80 percent of its

hormones through the liver which is also

connected to your gallbladder so if you

have the gallbladder out that could

create an uh um

lessening of the conversion

in which case the remedy is

taking some purified bile salts in fact

if you think about it

um

if you have a hyperthyroid condition you

have too many hormones one of the

contraindications is bile salts because

it’s going to help increase more of the

conversions and you don’t want that so

it’s really

really good to take bile salts if you

have a hypothyroid case because you’re

just going to convert more of these

hormones you’ll have more you’ll the

need for medication would be less

and

you’ll see better results

okay here’s a sort of earthy question

and i know that terry suffers from this

terribly no i’m just kidding he has very

good hygiene true false body odor is a

reflection of sweating

so let’s see what the audience has to

think about that sorry for stealing your

thunder i read that question let’s go

back to um well let’s see let’s go

maybe fully i don’t have a picture from

her but ellie are you on uh can you hear

us

yes hi very good put the mic a little

bit

i can’t put the mic a little closer to

your face and then ask dr burkey one

question

okay hi dr byrd

five years ago i had breast cancer and i

received radiation from that

um following the radiation a couple of

months later i noticed i was developing

a lot of deep scar tissue inside the

breast and under the arm

a year later i started a stim and

graston scraping which is horribly

painful

i’ve seen several videos on iodine and i

picked up some decolorized iodine and

just thought i would give it a try by

rubbing it all over all the very deep

you know hard scar tissue in that area

but now i’m worried is that going to

adversely affect my thyroid am i getting

too much iodine because i’m rubbing it

all over trying to do it maybe every

other day but i’m not even sure if this

would even affect deep scar tissue so

i’m i’m kind of stuck

yeah the iodine will help with the

estrogen

excess but the vitamin e is what you

want to be rubbing into the breast

because that will help break down the

scar tissue more than the iodine will um

so yeah you could get you could get

excess ammonite i doubt if

it’s it’s difficult to do that but

i think the best thing is to rub the

iodine i’m sorry the vitamin e get a

good quality one get it in an oil a

little

pearl open it up rub it into the breast

uh every night before go to sleep but

the other thing too is that

boy you got to be careful about um

doing doing some deep work

on the breast tissue just because the

trauma

see

trauma can

can affect cancer too it can trigger

cancer in cancer tends to invade

areas of inflammation

and definitely areas of trauma on the

breast

in fact when i was in practice uh when

someone came in

in a certain location i said have you

ever traumatized that part of the breast

and they always say yes how did you know

so um yeah

be very gentle and then unfortunately

i’m not going to get too much into

mammograms but they

first of all they give you radiation and

they do compression so it’s like wow

they actually um

create crate uh three to six times

more harm to the breast than

than not doing it so um i’m not saying

not to get it but it’s just uh you have

to aware that that trauma

can

adversely affect people

wow well ellie thanks for that question

appreciate it yeah or or a thermography

but realize too if something shows

positive on thermography because

thermography shows really tiny

tiny little things and so does

mammograph they pick up tiny stuff

and you got to be careful because a lot

of times those tiny things are not

cancer and then

if

it’s if they misdiagnose you and let’s

say

they say you have cancer when you really

don’t right so now

you get the surgery you get the trauma

you get the chemo you get the stress the

fear

i mean it’s just devastating and that’s

actually not uncommon so

um

realize that

there really isn’t any

accurate

early detection for cancer there’s no

test that can really

ultimately detect that and uh

so

the the solution

is

to actively and aggressively do whatever

you can to prevent it

okay thanks thank you so much appreciate

it you’re welcome thanks for coming on

ellie and why don’t we uh heidi are you

there can you hear us you got your

camera on

i see a mute button yeah is she muted

heidi we want to talk to you the doctor

would like to speak with you

oh thanks i already got to ask my

question i’m just listening to the end

of the show

my memory is fading doc what do you do

for a failing memory that’s what i need

to know well steve uh

more more keto more fasting for you

sounds like a lot of work all right i’ll

do it

i’m going to delete her

catch up here okay let’s see

see if uh we’re going to answer the last

question or to the fourth question

excuse me and the fourth question asked

um

body odor is a reflection of sweating

and let’s see our audience what did they

think about that

uh 100 say it’s false and it’s the

culprit is bacteria somebody’s been

studying

well they must have watched my video

because that’s absolutely true there’s

three different sweat glands and

just sweating in general

does not have an odor it has to have the

bacterial component and certain food for

the bacteria

and

two of those glands

don’t have enough that organic material

for the bacteria to to consume to create

the odor

so um i’m going to be releasing a video

on that but it’s an interesting

thing and then people like if they have

bad odor it just means that they

it’s a bacterial issue that they need to

deal with more than just a sweating

issue

okay very good take that to heart folks

final question dr berg

okay what is the purpose of melanin okay

that’s that that pigment in your skin

that changes the color of your skin

what’s the purpose

uh

or function of melanin

all right folks dig into that pam from

facebook what should be taken to replace

hormones lost from a hysterectomy

well um you have a backup you have a

backup gland that’s the adrenal so you

need to strengthen the adrenals

and i would also there’s a really good

remedy that i used in practice

and it’s from standard process again

it’s two things it’s one is eutroph and

pmg and the other is overtrophing pmg

you take both of those

as directed on the label and it seems to

really help a lot of people

and so

if you hear the lawnmower in the

background you know

that’s the perfect timing every time i

do my show

either the leaf blower guy or the

lawn mower comes right out of my back my

window so just

murphy’s law it doesn’t sound too bad on

this end uh angela lee from youtube

would yerba may if i said that right be

a good natural treatment for adhd would

it be better than taking adderall or

ritalin

well i think anything would be better

than that and i um there’s there’s a lot

of remedies um

for that

and i actually did a video on that uh

you can look that up but yes you

you know the the ritalin the other

medications

uh for these conditions

oh my goodness in fact i don’t know if

you saw this steve um

a

very

well-known

um scientific journal came out with um

just published this

incredible study credible study and said

that

they just now realized that there’s no

such thing as a chemical imbalance

there’s no chemical balance and so

in these some of these like depressive

and anxiety

uh states

so in other words it’s never been proven

it’s not really a chemical imbalance

and

it’s just kind of a guess and they found

it’s not true and so you get how many

how many millions of people on ssris

that have a massive side effects

i mean i mean just terrible side effects

and um

now now what now what what are they

going to do right um

they’re stuck between a rock and a hard

place so

um

you know for depression anxiety like

of course they’re not going to try

vitamin d

or

b1

or magnesium

or getting on the right eating plan they

don’t look at the eating plan they don’t

look at changing your body to ketones

but they’re

dr edes um i think her name is

she’s a psychiatrist and she has a

really good

um jor it’s dr georgia eed

ede

great data great information on what you

should do if you have any type of

um

mental

issues

uh

get your get the right food feed the

right fuel and of course they booted her

out of i think harvard

because she didn’t

she wasn’t on the party line so but

she’s um helping a lot of people so

um i would highly recommend watching her

videos well yes that was big news much

of us have read about it and you’re

right where do you go from there you

know there are

uh withdrawal symptoms to many of those

things and it kind of keeps people on

them whether they like it or not so

uh we hope that that resolves itself

with some new thing now we’ve got we’re

proud of ourselves because we got to

every question today and here’s the last

one which asks what is the purpose of oh

no i’m sorry we already did that melanin

oh no that’s right we haven’t gotten the

answer yet what’s the purpose of melon

the pigment in your skin

and our astute audience uh five answers

70 say melanin protects against uv

rays and 30 say it’s for vitamin d

absorption i’m sorry there weren’t five

answers that was question number five 70

melanin against uv and 30 says for

vitamin d absorption

okay so um yes it’s a protector it’s

it’s it’s a natural

sunscreen so it protects you against uv

and also it’s a very powerful

antioxidant okay so when you um when you

low an antioxidants in your diet and in

your skin

what happens is

melanin starts to go up and you start

getting these little uh

darker spots

called aging spots sun spots liver spots

all that means is you’re low on your um

your antioxidants and so mello melanin

needs to increase to compensate for that

so i’m going to release a video on that

and exactly what you guys should do if

you have these

these discolored little spots on your

skin

okay we’ve got about a minute left doc

do you want to talk about the

international ordering and how people

can get your products

if you if you are wanted to order some

products and you’re not in the u.s

it can be expensive so we now have ways

to order i’ll put the links down below
