welcome back everyone we have another uh

show for you another q a we’re going to

be talking about uh health

keto intermittent fasting we have a lot

of quizzes for quiz questions for you

anything that i say is not meant to

diagnose you or replace your medical

care

definitely check with your physician

before implementing any of these

suggestions

all right steve

all right well we’re gonna go

we have got a great lineup in the green

room and uh we are gonna go straight to

the uk with daniel who’s got a question

for you he’s now unmuting himself

professionally he knows the routine

daniel you’re on with dr byrd

thank you good afternoon or good evening

as it is here um

i need some help so quick summary so i

am 54 years old

i have chronic fatigue syndrome i was

diagnosed last year i also have

something called central sleep apnea

so um basically i’m just trying to just

get back into current shape so i did

intermittent fasting or i’m doing it now

and i have done for probably two and a

half three months

and i’ve lost about 20 pounds which is

great um but i still have a big uh

nascar tire around my waist that i need

to get rid of

um i know that i’m looking at your

videos and stuff insulin resistance and

stuff like that

i want to go into keto diet i have no

idea where to even start the internet is

just so full of so much information i

just need someone to hold my hand that

says right eat this eat this do this eat

this eat this

hey i got i have some suggestions for

you and the good news is i do have uh

we’re we completely reham revamped our

uh membership site to do exactly that um

very soon we’ll be able to kind of walk

people by the hand and

get them to

make the changes

uh long enough for them to really start

to have it become a habit and a routine

and so we are we’re almost there

but in the meantime

there’s uh

this i’m glad that you’re doing fasting

um now it’s time to add the uh the keto

and i did create a video on my site if

you just go to uh blog and then keto it

says start here watch the first video

to keep it really really really really

simple

i wouldn’t actually even worry at first

about the quality of your foods i would

just

focus on eating foods that are low carb

like

don’t even worry about fats proteins

low carb will start to produce the

biggest change especially with chronic

fatigue syndrome um

do you have um

have you ever had mono by the way or uh

epstein-barr virus that you know of

uh no

i i don’t know where they are

okay have you ever had really bad tonsil

tonsil problems in high school or

college do you mean because of the

chronic fatigue syndrome yeah

so probably literally about 15-20 years

ago i had something called

guillain-barry syndrome

which attacked my nervous system and i

think they think that that’s what um a

lot of people have glandular fever

that’s the trigger but i think that one

was the trigger for me i’ve had my

tonsils removed is the answer to your

question

okay

and you had them removed because of a

certain reason

because they kept on getting infected

when i was really young

okay

well okay so you’ll have to find um

my video on sore throats not that you

have a sore throat but there’s a

technique in there that

i want you to apply and rate your energy

before and after you do it because i

think that’s going to

create a really cool change for you

it’s a technique that i stumbled on but

that being said um

it’s sound like

gilliam beret that’s an autoimmune

disease

if i’m not mistaken

yeah so you

attack your nervous system and you have

paralysis and some people you know need

to learn how to eat and speak again i

was quite lucky in that i just had a

half paralysis

yes so what you can do

there’s two things you do need to start

taking higher quantities that number one

is the b i’m sorry vitamin d

i get a lot of sun but you want to take

at least 40 000

iu vitamin d on a regular basis right

now because if there’s inflammation

going on from this autoimmune that will

kind of put it into a remission state

and you’ll start feeling better the

other

key nutrient for gilliam beret is a is a

lot of vitamin b1

even

if you’re initially taking it synthetic

just to kind of beef up

your levels that’ll be another thing

that i think you’ll notice a lot of

change if you start doing research on

gilliam beret and also vitamin b1 or

thymine deficiency you’ll see some

fascinating research on that topic so

those are the two things i would

recommend

but the fasting is also going to help

you but i think what’s holding you back

right now is um

is the keto the lower carb so

you’re going to have to just get the

list of foods to avoid right now and

don’t worry about anything else just to

keep it simple and then um

follow my um

my protocol on um

improving that over time till you get

the full knowledge of exactly how to do

it but i think out of all the things

that you can do right now lowering the

carbs combined with intermittent fasting

will start to not just handle the belly

fat but your energy will increase

unless

there’s a hidden virus

in which case

you know there’s a lot of remedies for

that too i’ve done a video on that

recently you can take that remedy but i

i would start with your fuel right now

it’ll work on your fuel source which is

going to be the ketones

um you can even buy those little ketone

strips and just check your urine it’ll

tell you if it’s working um it’ll turn

like dark purple and you’re like okay

it’s working if it’s not

then you have some hidden carbs that you

need to

handle

okay perfect

brilliant all right awesome there’s a

lot to talk about but i think that’ll be

a good start and then stay tuned for

this membership program i think

um a lot of people need that um support

at least initially to get you on the

right track

exactly that’s exactly right thank you

thank you you’re welcome thanks so much

daniel you represented the uk

brilliantly and speaking of that let’s

talk about who else is watching from

around the world also in our green room

and we’re not going to come to you quite

yet gayatri but she’s from india so

we’ve got uk in

uh india and boy what a list terry uh

canada scotland south africa thailand

germany zambia spain norway chile

bahrain algeria uganda greece italy

mexico and we do have someone from

mexico also oscar but we’ll get to him

later

new zealand nicaragua japan france the

netherlands saudi arabia switzerland

india sweden

liechtenstein if i said that right the

philippines israel australia oman

belgium pakistan argentina nepal egypt

didn’t we already say egypt who knows

ubekistan ireland trinidad and tobago

the bahamas vietnam that’s interesting

to hear from them poland nigeria serbia

ethiopia russia a lot of folks from

russia

austria sri lanka saint kitts peru that

was a new in macedonia iran romania

cameroon kuwait the dominican republic

turkey malaysia bulgaria syria guatemala

wales dubai cashmere denmark

and all across these united states you

know dr burr we’re going to have to have

a separate show just to read all the

people that are interested in getting

healthy because they are coming to us

all around the world so thank you all so

much for joining

us in that way and to prove that we’re

listening to you we’re going to go to

social media and kick it off with tonya

from facebook i am suffering from

chronic fatigue and have a terrible

addiction to caffeine join uh welcome to

the club i love any tips to assist

improving my energy as i begin cutting

back on caffeine

well you’re probably in the caffeine to

stay awake right so um chronic fatigue

syndrome i just did a video on that we

just talked about that i think the um

you know

i i had chronic fatigue syndrome and i

just searched out for

literally years to take the right

vitamin to get my energy back i would

my wife and i would be driving in the

street and say oh yeah let’s try it

let’s go to this health food store and

take more vitamins and

let’s go to this place and try that and

i’m telling you it never ever ever

worked because the foundation was

missing the

actual fuel that i was running on was

run up just glucose so once you convert

your body over ketones by cutting the

carbs out

uh and reducing insulin the magic

happens it’s like someone will take

this fatigue helmet off of your head

and you’ll feel um

more

awake more aware

so um that’s what i would recommend

starting with and then

if by chance you still have a problem

there’s probably a virus that’s could be

activated reactivated from

the epstein bar virus not a reason virus

but an old virus that gets reactivated

and um

but here’s the thing it’s usually

reactivated through this thing called

stress so unless you

really handle that stress um

you know which usually relates to people

people stress

personality and

it’s going to be really hard to

get this virus back in remission where

it belongs

okay very interesting good luck with

that and let’s go to our first quiz

question doc if you can see that let him

have it

all right so which deficiency is behind

dry skin

all right audience leap on it and let’s

go back to social media

when most of our listeners come from

uh buddhism from facebook what are your

thoughts on the carnivore diet

i think it’s great i think it’s great i

think a lot of people are are getting

amazing results um i’m not converting my

whole program over the carnivore

um because

what we have is working fine it’s

working very well

carnivores are really restricted but

it’s really good for people that have

gut issues inflammation of the gut

anything related to

um like

ibs or advanced damage to your gut you

can’t tolerate the fibers of

of any kind like especially vegetables

or definitely the grains of course you

wouldn’t do that but um

you know

with certain conditions i think people

need to to use that and try it but

um i have not gone carnivore because

what we have um

works really well and i i benefit from

vegetables personally i feel better and

if i don’t consume

enough

i don’t feel quite right i don’t feel i

feel like there’s something missing i

think there’s there are nutrients in uh

vegetables they’re phytonutrients yes

there’s anti-nutrients

but there’s also phytonutrients that are

beneficial

a wide scale and there’s also

vitamins and minerals especially

potassium and manganese i’m sorry

magnesium

so it’s um

some people

don’t do well on vegetables some people

do so i think the majority do that’s my

opinion but i’m sticking to it steve

well you should because wide awake as he

calls himself from youtube says 12 days

of keto now and i haven’t felt this

great since my early 20s thank you dr

berg so there’s evidence of success out

there

all right awesome that’s great let’s see

uh

oh here’s one eric from youtube

uh my 15 year old daughter has been

diagnosed with seizures and apparently

the keto diet can help how does keto

impact that condition

i think it’s essential i think it’s

really essential um

i just was doing some a deep dive on

epilepsy and i found there was a really

interesting link

on

infant formulas with the soy and

increasing your

your risk of getting um

epilepsy which is fascinating um good

thing a lot of

small children never started out on soy

right

but um epilepsy if you have that

condition

you need to do the ketogenic diet but

not just any old ketogenic diet you need

because the one that they recommend is

like a traditional ketogenic diet they

do not look at the quality of

ingredients there’s

low

nutrient dense foods and you’re just

doing

a tremendous amount of fat with low carb

that’s fine but if you can actually

combine that with healthy ingredients i

think it’s the optimum

diet

i think a lot of

families give up on the ketogenic diet

because of the side effects from the

the unhealthy ingredients like the

diarrhea and the bloating and the lack

of choices so um

there is a way to do it correctly

and it’s the healthy way because um

what they provide now like you you can’t

give you depend a child you know give

your child these like an mct oil drink

with whipping cream

and broccoli and uh maybe some

some shake it’s like they’re not going

to do it for a

period of time

but i will say i want to say one thing

about kids i think kids

um

i don’t think they i think they don’t

like vegetables because

they’re they’re like the best

group of

people that can judge if uh

if something is um nutrient dense or not

like if you give these typical

vegetables to kids they’re like they’re

not gonna eat it because it’s kind of

bland like even a tomato if you give a

child a really good carrot that’s grown

in healthy soils it’s actually sweet

or something that’s really really

healthy kids will eat it

if it’s nutrients dense and there’s a

there’s a relationship between nutrient

dense

and sweet and vegetables i’m talking

about like tomatoes and carrots and

things like that

and or even flavor as well so i will be

doing more videos on that but um

if you start your kids out on these

nutrient-dense foods they’ll stick with

it

well that’s fantastic well the audience

as usual is absolutely on it and

you had asked which deficiency is behind

dry skin

and 55 percent of our respondents say

vitamin e 20 insist its vitamin a 15 say

vitamin d

and 10 say b vitamins any winter well

you your all of the answers definitely

uh affect skin so that’s they can all

cause dry skin there’s one that’s uh

really more popular or more common that

would be an essential fatty acid

deficiency now what is an essential

fatty acid

those are the omegas

unsaturated omegas so now of course you

have omega-6 which

i do not think you have a deficiency of

that um but it’s omega-3 is the one that

most people have a problem with now

i’m going to be releasing a video on

a

not necessarily a face mask but like a

moisturizer type

material you can put on your face

that can

infuse these

high levels of omega-3 fatty acids into

the skin

and get rid of dryness but ultimately

you need to consume more omega-3 fatty

acids

and yes fish oils sardines

salmon things like that

but also you can get the precursor ones

from walnuts chia seed things like that

and even algae okay blue-green algae has

it

has it as well so you can you can get

some of these precursors to the omega-3

active form so

stay tuned for that video

fantastic well dr berg i’m going to brag

on some of your stuff so i discovered

when i’m jogging a couple times my

calves cramped up so bad in about the

first quarter mile i had to quit

and uh so the remedy is i thought was

you know being dehydrated and

electrolyte formula so from now on

i drink a big glass with electrolyte for

me about an hour before i uh jog and i

haven’t had the cramp since and i you

know i don’t want to give it all the

credit to the electrolyte form and i

guess you got to stay hydrated but man

that’s curated and a good friend of the

show was mowing the grass and his calves

were all tight and we discussed that

this morning anyway that’s a long way

around to get to judith from utah from

youtube and wants to ask when is the

best time to take your electrolyte

powder will it affect ketone production

you know some

i tell people to take it in the morning

but some people take right before bed

and they do fine

it’s it’s going to push a lot of fluid

out of your body for most people but not

everyone so you might want to test it

out and see where you want to take it

doesn’t really

there is no best time to take it you can

take it with food without food but

you’re just putting the electrolytes

back into your body and making your body

more

filled with things to help push things

through and make things work better

electrically both the muscle and the

nerve

and you have this little thing in your

all your cells called a sodium potassium

pump that generates

electro electrical activity

in your nerve nervous system and your

muscles that allow nerves to

transmit in muscles to contract and

relax so

without these electrolytes

you’re going to feel kind of

weaker you’re going to feel tired

but don’t forget

salt is also an electrolyte so

you can

if you if you have a lot of these other

electrolytes but not enough salt that

can also create

a problem

steve i do want to mention um

we do have a new salt product coming out

that’s very very different

most sea salt

is

is beneficial for people it has but the

problem is most sea salt is like 98

sodium chloride and then the rest the

trace minerals and other minerals so

this is a very unique type of salt

that is uh natural okay and it’s not

it’s sun-dried from a certain part of

the world that has a very different

ratio of minerals that has

it’s like 77 sodium chloride and then

you also have

all the other

minerals potassium calcium

in and also the trace minerals so when

you sprinkle this on your food what

you’re going to notice it’s a completely

different flavor

i love it it actually enhances the

flavor

but also you get a lot of these other

minerals from your salt not just sodium

chloride which you do need but

it’s just a completely different thing

so i will be releasing that very soon

it’s a interesting interesting product

well that’s exciting so selfishly dr

berg if i’m jogging is there any time

how long before

uh should i take electrolyte stuff

i think you did i think you get a good

job but

you know at least 10 to 15 minutes

before you work out um i think that

would be good but like i think you did

an hour before that’s totally fine too

wonderful okay enough about me why don’t

we go to india and let’s talk to gayatri

who

is like so many in india a uh vegetarian

and has some questions for you guys

you’re on with dr byrd

okay thank you hello dr berg

hello

yeah i’m glad that i got a chance to

talk to you and i thank you for giving

me an opportunity to talk to you

absolutely

yeah so my question is uh what kind of

diet do you suggest for kids i have two

kids one is five years other one ten

years

so is it like keto diet even for the

kids or what type of diet

you know probably not as

hardcore as what i would recommend for

you but i would definitely go low carb

and um

you know maybe that you they can get

away with more fruit maybe they can get

away with a occasional um

sweet potato something like that um but

but definitely don’t do the sweets like

normal normal people give their kids

right um don’t do the cereals don’t do

the grains with these kids and honestly

what i would do too is i would do three

solid meals but i wouldn’t do a lot of

snacks either a lot of times

you know parents just want to keep

giving their kids all these snacks

between meals

that’s not the best thing because you’re

you’re like this constant spike of

insulin early on not good

but

kids have a very fast metabolism if

they’re active um they can

burn off some of the extra

uh carbs from the fruit and things like

that but

you know

we have a granddaughter lucy and she’s

she’s pretty keto but she does have

you know

a little bit more fruit and things like

that but um

she does not do

candy and the cookies like that we do

the keto version of it

but definitely it’s um

and this kid is like super super

coordinated

uh super healthy

dental structure everything so

i’m convinced that’s the way to go

yeah even for my kids i give a lot of

salads

actually you know influenced by your

videos i gave them salads and then

of course now i have reduced even the

other

all the so-called junk foods

so yes earlier i used to give but now

since a month i’ve totally stopped and

they are quite cooperative and they

listen to me i mean they’re okay with

that like they’re okay with the salads

you know i would get them involved also

in nutrition like get them to make

cook different recipes with you get them

to grow certain

foods to get them educated

i’m just glad that they don’t actually

have a lot of sugar in india and i’m

glad that they don’t have cultural

um activities and events with sugar in

your country that’s very very

thankful for that

that was my sarcasm

okay uh i actually had uh actually after

workouts i just wanted to ask like

afterwards workouts uh i do get body

pain like even after taking like

supplements you know vegetarian so i

take omega three fatty acid supplements

then i take

vitamin b12 supplement

and omega-3 fatty acid is

alaskan wild caught fish so

it’s that so

so you’re getting sore when you exercise

sorry you said yeah i get sore

yes yes

not during the exercise sorry it’s not

during the exercise during the exercise

i am really energetic

it’s after that post

workout

i think that’s a positive thing you you

do want to get sore after an exercise so

i think

you’re you’re making yourself sore

that’s the goal is to break down um your

muscle tissue so you get sore so then

you can recover um the only thing i

would say about that is that if it’s

taking you a long time to recover

don’t don’t push it don’t exercise too

frequently you want to

exercise break down and stress your body

out and then recover i mean it’s really

kind of interesting um what you’re doing

when you’re exercising especially if

you’re trying to build muscle

you’re literally destroying your muscles

it sounds bizarre

destroying your muscles and

if you want to grow muscles faster you

destroy them more to the point where you

you know you’re really sore i remember

in wrestling

there was there was days i couldn’t even

walk after a wrestling match i was

barely i could barely sit down but then

i recovered

and i became stronger so the point is

that um

if you keep your diet really good with

like you said the omega-3 fatty acids

uh yes vitamin e

b1

for um then that will minimize the

soreness but

i think it’s normal to have soreness

when you exercise

okay so i just had a doubt any

supplement

uh proteins or something yeah the

exercise omega-3 fatty acids are just

going to speed up but they can’t speed

up

um

the healing more than what your body is

designed to heal at the rate at which

you’re recovering out of hints you can’t

go beyond your normal

recovery process so like just like with

um

the recent video i did with your uh an

acute injury people use ice right

to try to reduce swelling to somehow

think that they’re going to speed up the

recovery process when in fact you’re

going to slow the recovery process

because you’re getting rid of

inflammation

inflammation is there to heal you so

you have to just allow it to go through

its normal cycle so that way

and adding

ice slows the healing process

so um

we have this certain rate that we heal

and recover

and

certain people heal faster than others

um and that’s a whole different topic

but

uh so do you suggest like i should work

out alternate days or daily yes okay yes

i would give your chance your body a

chance to recover

and at least every other day and then

the walk on the days that you don’t

exercise

some people need

especially as you get older you need two

or three days to recover in between the

workout

okay

uh and regarding the salads now is it

like always raw or even if cooked like

since you suggest that seven to ten cups

so can it include a bit of boiled

vegetables also like

yeah you can you want you know some of

it raw but some of it can be steamed you

can boil it um

when i say seven to ten cups i’m talking

about um like salad leafy greens things

like that i’m not talking about seven

cups of broccoli or brussels sprouts

that would be very very difficult so

when you’re talking about these other

vegetables then you’re looking at maybe

five cups

so i actually take uh

cilantro and this curry leaves

so

i just make a paste out of that and then

because it’s hard to consume curry

leaves in a large quantity

yes so i can make the paste out of that

and i mix it with other vegetables raw

vegetables like tomato or carrots like

that you’re making me hungry right now

and i think too that

having all those wonderful indian herbs

just

make it such a pleasure

to consume those those foods

the curries and the

cardamoms and all the different

wonderful herbs

that’s great well listen gayatri thank

you so much for representing uh india so

well uh we’re gonna have to move along

because i’ve run behind a little bit i

haven’t gotten these quiz questions out

fast enough so saying that dr berg

here’s the next one

okay

what is the primary cause of tmj

dysfunction like like a problem with

your jaw what’s what’s the primary cause

of that

okay folks climb onto that and let’s go

to how about oscar

let me find his little clip there in uh

mexico city he’s uh

ready to go on with you oscar you’re on

with dr burton

hey eric here i am hey victor berg how

are you

great thanks

thank you well first of all thank you

for all the information that you share

i’ve been dealing now with what i think

it is a restless leg syndrome for almost

three years i have taken all the tests

and analyses that doctors have asked me

to do and we haven’t found like any

specific cost for these pains in my legs

actually i previously spoke with you

about two months ago

[Music]

in this program

and i have been doing now health keto

for two months and i have been following

in this guide that i found in your

website

and uh actually this week i made a urine

test

and it appeared that i have 2.8 of

ketosis

and well also i’ve been taking

the 4 700 milligrams of potassium a day

four teaspoons of magnesium

and about 15 milligrams of apple cider

vinegar a day and with my nutritional

yeast for the b vitamin right so uh

right now so far i haven’t felt any

change in my in the syndrome and the

interesting thing is that even the pain

in my legs is also in my feet

and the pain in my feet feels similar to

the pain that i have in my legs but it’s

now like even worse because it even

hurts when i’m in movement which is not

like a restless leg symptom right

because it’s now even when it’s in

movement so it doesn’t feel like a

muscular things but it feels similar to

the pain that i have in my legs with

restless leg syndrome it’s like a

tingling burning inside the hot pain

that he

that i feel when i am when i am sitting

down or when i am walking or when i am

dancing i have it like all day in my

feet and it’s the same is the same uh

pain in both of my feet and well i

wanted to know and my question is if i

am missing something in relation with

those of supplements that i’m taking or

with the fasting and

it’s very something that you recommend

and in a specific

doubt that i’ve been having is that what

quantity of nutritional cheese or apple

cider vinegar do you recommend

every meal because i never know if i am

taking too much or not enough right okay

so i think um

i think i think we just have to look at

exactly what you have i

i’m not convinced it’s restless leg

syndrome i think it’s more pain in your

legs or your feet it sounds to me

um because the restless leg syndrome

which by the way i had you know happens

like in the middle of the night where

you’re

you’re so restless you have to like

there’s so much energy built up in your

legs you can’t get it out

which should be handled with the b

b vitamin but if you have this pain in

your legs upon upon activation

there’s a couple things that come to

mind okay

um

the first one

is a uh neuropathy of the of the feet or

the legs

which could cause those symptoms it

could be b12 but i think it’s going to

be um a deficiency but i think you’re

going to benefit by ben photomean it’s

called ben photamine

it’s a fat soluble b vitamin that you

have to take

uh like four of those a day and like

higher amounts

that i think is going to help you with

your

your leg pain now let’s say you do that

and

it gets better but it’s not

a hundred percent

ben

i’m sorry

yes yes and it’s a fat soluble thymine

that penetrates

the the nervous system

um

let’s say you do that though and you

still have problems then i would

recommend getting a vascular test

uh some type of uh

test from your doctor just to evaluate

the um

the vascular system of your lower

extremities especially because there’s a

condition

called intermittent claudication which

can happen in your lower legs

which is more of a your arteries and

veins and things don’t are not

delivering the oxygen

to your legs now i don’t think you have

that because it doesn’t sound like you

do but it’s just one thing that

you know you always want to check and

look at all the possibilities that it

could be just in case this benfotamine

doesn’t fully 100 percent

work

perfect thank you thank you yes because

the interesting thing is that

i have also taken like vascular tests

and like all kinds of blood tests and

everything

and there is not like a specific like

cost that

we have found that that okay this is the

wrong thing so that’s why that’s why in

the beginning and we were like okay it

is restless legs because sometimes it

gets better with movement

but now the thing is that now with the

feet it doesn’t gets better with

movement and i think in my fear is every

time

so uh

so i’m gonna try the thing

[Music]

i think i think they’re in like 300

milligram tablets if i’m not mistaken

in c and 300 milligrams

four doses a day you were saying yes

like around that okay perfect so uh

and in specific like any other like test

that you would like recommend me i mean

you probably already did the nerve

conduction velocity testing i’m guessing

you had that done but that would be a

test that i would i would look at and

that would show up

if there’s actual nerve damage to a

major degree but if it doesn’t show up

then

[Music]

then it could be subclinical and and

then the ben photomean will help you

hey by the way you’re breaking up a

little bit oscar i hope that helped you

and we’d love to have you back and let

us know of some of those things uh

provided some relief for you and thanks

again for coming to us from mexico yes

sir steve i think the uh i think you

know it’s it’s interesting a lot of

people have a lot of questions and i

think uh

every time we’ll say just that one quick

question

i don’t think i’ve ever had one person

ask one question steve

isn’t that just have a lot of questions

well they do and you’re gonna squeeze

them in there well listen if i if i came

on as a guest you wouldn’t be able to

shut me up because you know i’m a

blabbermouth so i feel for the condition

it’s just hard to

you know hard to keep on track so i have

uh complete empathy with all of them

and the audience though is very fast

in terms of their ability to answer

these questions and they know i’m behind

so they’re helping me out with some

quick answers and it was what is the

primary cause of tmj dysfunction the jaw

thing you spoke of and sixty percent of

our respondents say magnesium deficiency

thirty percent say a calcium deficiency

and finally ten percent say a vitamin d

deficiency

who’s correct

well it sounds like no you guys actually

watched my recently released video on

tmj ouch because

the number one cause is recent

dental work that causes your teeth not

to fit correctly and that when you start

chewing and you start closing your mouth

oh my goodness does it throw off the

muscles

imbalances into your neck and then right

into your jaw and good luck trying to

fix that with a splint or surgery or

whatever or even a vitamin it won’t work

so you got to go back to the dentist

have them re-evaluate

make sure the teeth are fitting

perfectly

all right that’s great now let’s see

this is uh something we hear somewhat

often alan from youtube i lost 27 pounds

quickly on omad but now i’ve hit a

plateau what should i do next

the plateau i would check number one

re-evaluate your carbohydrates are they

are they low enough number two

fast longer

also make sure there’s no hidden

carbohydrates in the things that you’re

consuming i’ll give you one example

there are a few copycats out there of

electrolyte electrolyte powder

and they’re cheaper than mine and now i

know why because they

they get their

their ingredients from china and the

problem is that

some of these chinese ingredients have

hidden maltodextrin in the flavoring

and the flavoring is really hard to find

it without maltodextrin which is a

sugar so it’s loaded with sugar and here

you are trying to be keto friendly and

they have this hidden

maltodextrin which is terrible for um

so that so these there’s hidden

ingredients you also have

like um

even some of the keto friendly foods

are not keto friendly

so you have

fast longer lower your carb more

sleeping get more sleep

is there a hidden stress that you need

to deal with

that could be a problem

and then the list goes even

deeper you can watch my videos i’ve done

probably at least 20 videos on plateau

interesting well i’m looking at the feed

going by and the folks on youtube at

least they’re admonishing themselves

from missing the tmj question

uh but you guys are great uh and uh

we’re gonna give you a mulligan on that

one so you just keep up the good work

speaking of which we’re going to give

you a chance to redeem yourself let’s go

up with the next question dr berg here

it is

okay

the most utilized ingredient in animal

feeds

worldwide

is

fill in the blank

all right climb honestly

the top ingredient

in most animal feats

on planet earth okay we’re going to give

you a chance to shine once again

audience and let’s see let’s go back to

some questions here

um

let’s see

oh terry’s giving me some sense of

guitarist yeah

um boy this terrible nothing worse than

dead air

oh here we go richard from facebook in

your opinion what are the five most

important supplements to take regularly

if there are five

well the first one is vitamin d that’s

like the most important because it’s

very difficult to get it from your diet

but unless you’re on the sun you know

you can get it from the sun pretty

easily so so vitamin d is like number

one and number two

potassium simply because we need so much

of it and it’s like most people don’t

consume enough salads so you want to get

it from other things like maybe a good

electrolyte powder the third thing is

zinc that’s very very important it’s a

trace mineral it really only lasts

roughly about four days in your body and

then it’s it’s not a fat soluble mineral

or anything like that or nutrient so if

you’re not consuming it where is it

coming from so we have vitamin d

with potassium

zinc

and then the next one would be vitamin

b1 because b1 is intimately involved in

um

what is that called

memory

uh without b1 you’re not going to

remember anything so and it creates

stress and all sorts of issues

and there’s so many negative things

that are like a cascade effect

from that and i think that if we talk

about um just nutrients in general i’m

going to say omega-3 fatty acid

that is

uh

related to so many um

problems with your heart and your brain

and inflammation

and a lot of people are just doing too

much of the omega-6 so then they’re

going to throw off the omega-3 so that

would be

the five most important ones

wonderful okay well as promised the

audience is right on it with these

questions and the latest question number

three

asked the most utilized ingredient in

animal feeds worldwide is

and let’s see 60 percent say soy and 40

say corn

i initially thought it was soy but it’s

actually corn

uh but soy is second on the list and uh

we’re not talking about

um even

like corn on the cob that you would eat

there’s a kind of a field corn that’s

not that sweet it’s like

it’s very different and it’s gmo

and that’s the the primary ingredient so

um

we’re literally

you know feeding the animals this corn

and there’s a fascinating study

that i don’t even know if i want to make

a video on it because i think i might

get in trouble but i will tell you um

there’s a

study that uh is

you’re gonna have a hard time finding it

but

it’s it’s basically

relating to

the feed

a combination of soy and corn

on pigs and and they actually dissected

their stomachs and looked at them and it

just filled with ulcers and inflammatory

issues and problems with the stomach so

i do have pigs and i don’t feed them

uh gmo corn or soy

and so um

because of that study

now

a pig’s stomach is actually kind of

close to

human stomach by the way

and so it’s not identical

but think about how many people are

consuming

these grains definitely soy

and maybe maybe corn too

not that

people are eating corn chips or corn

tortillas but the corn these grains can

create a lot of inflammatory issues with

our guts

now that’s just my theory

i haven’t proved it

but

it’s something to think about steve

very good well i don’t know if my

stomach is reminiscent of a pig but my

appetite certainly is and that’s a

constant battle for me

but i’m winning through with dr berg’s

great council

okay a genuine idea is the name of this

person claiming from youtube what are

the best food sources for omega-3s

uh salmon

krill

um

seafood

fatty fish sardines you can also use

algae

and seaweed

um but seaweed is high on the precursor

like ala that turns into

uh epa in

dha

so um

walnuts have uh some dha i’m sorry the

all the eight the precursor to dha so

walnuts and chia seed as well um but

those those would be the best foods the

fatty fish the salmon and especially

the cod liver oil

as well as cod liver

steve have you ever tried cod liver did

i ever give you some of that in a can

you know you did have me you had some in

the uh in the studio one time

and i think a little bit no i i like it

some people just hate it but i like cobb

liver itself and it can it’s like

pudding

but

man is that loaded with omega-3 fatty

acids

but um and it’s actually bathed in cod

liver oil so

um you know

if if it’s something that you like

um you should consume a little bit of

that each day uh to get your omega-3

fatty acids i would not

consume the whole can because that’s a

lot of fat

but maybe half of a can but don’t let it

sit in the fridge for over a few days

because

it can go bad very fishy

i have personal experience with that

stuff oh gross that’s horrible let’s see

so the audience has redeemed themselves

with the last question let’s see if they

can keep up the trend so there’s a next

question doc

okay so

the cracking on your heels on your back

of your feet

and your heel

you know like if it’s very dry and it’s

cracking

indicates the deficiency of something

of a nutrient what would that be

all right well why don’t we go to uh my

friend alvin jackson who is from georgia

and we were talking about how everything

is related to peaches down there and of

course peaches are probably not good for

keto enough of that alvin can you hear

us you’re on with dr bird

i think you’re muted sir

yes i can

go ahead with your

question yes i guess first i want to say

that after listening to him there’s a

lot of things he said that have

explained things that happened to me and

as you go short on one thing

my teeth are completely evil right when

i close them they fall on top of each

other so the dentist tried to do some

shaving give me a bit of an overbite

and i and and i had this tremendous pain

in my jaw and i thought it came from

flying in the airplane but now i know it

came from dental work

wow here’s my question

uh i’ve been on keto for about two

two years and it’s been perfect for me

uh

but this time around i have found that

i’m having trouble

driving my diabetes levels down my my ph

my countdown

when it first i had problems

with keeping it up and keeping it up for

me was good because i could easily get

it back up

but

uh trying to get it you know trying to

get my high my my high glucose reading

down while on keto is a problem that i

never had and keto’s been so good for me

losing weight or energy uh i’m a retired

veteran i suffer from uh chronic pain

uh

just just a tremendous amount of

diseases i have a bowel

scientific stimulator in my back

uh i’m patched up

uh from from uh

from the rogic cervical

uh lumbar all the way down to l5 s1

but once i got on keto i was able to

ride like 26 miles a day on my bicycle

every other week 100 mile bicycle ride

but my problem is my diabetes

so so i have a question i have a

question um

would you say that you’re doing um keto

100 or maybe

close to that but you you’re not perfect

um i’m 100 when it comes to uh

carbohydrates or sugar alcohol

subtraction the fiber subtraction uh so

i’m i’m 100

stand below my

carbohydrates

uh maybe my protein will go a little

high

uh maybe i’m not so disciplined on the

calories

uh

i eat at least one avocado per day and i

i definitely get all my fats in

and then how about your um your fasting

how many meals a day do you have

uh

lately my fasting hasn’t been as good as

it has been in the past

okay

all right so here’s so here’s a

suggestion um

if you’re a diabetic

um

this is gonna have to be a way a

lifestyle like more of a

not something you go on and off you have

to do it consistently for a period of

time but the fact that you had all those

problems tells me that you have pretty

advanced insulin resistance which means

that

um

your liver

is going to actually

make more sugar than it should it’s

called

gluconeogenesis so um

this is what happens with even a

diabetic like they’re not like if they

have high sugar but where did it come

from i didn’t eat any sugar well because

your body is making it from other things

like protein and even fat and even

ketones so that could be

what’s going on um i would first get

really strict with your intermittent

fasting i would do one meal a day i

would not do

any other meals in one meal a day and i

would make sure those carbs are really

low and i would i’m talking like 20

grams of carbs do the greens and just

give it time but if your sugar goes high

then what you want to do is you want to

exercise

routinely to burn off that extra sugar

that’s made by your liver because the

liver is the weak link

of course

you know you can do the a1c test which

is like an average which

is actually even better than

checking a day-to-day but the point is

that i think those are the some really

important things that i would do and

then last thing

is i would do things to focus in and

help your liver like

um milk thistle that’s a good one

like some of the cruciferous vegetables

for the liver the liver likes the bitter

bitter food so in your salad you can do

a little bit of dandelion greens which

is way better than regular lettuce

there’s a lot of things you can do for

the liver

broccoli things like that and then give

it some time um

and your sugar will come down now you

mentioned your sugar coming lower and

bringing it up when you’re on keto and

intermittent fasting your sugars will

come

low they’ll go down to 60

maybe even high 50s and you might think

that’s a problem but it’s not because

it’s a new normal because you’re not

eating the sugar and so if you try to

raise it then you were countering this

effect so they kind of diagnose

hypoglycemia is anything below 70 but

honestly when you do keto and you’re not

eating sugar it’s gonna go below that

the key is how you feel if your blood

sugars are low and you feel okay then

guess what it’s normal it’s your normal

well that’s great hey alvin listen we’re

kind of close to out of time but love to

hear back because you got an interesting

thing there it worked great your sugars

were great for a while then it changed

we’d love to see if you can swap it back

to that great success you had before so

alvin thanks for joining us and

representing georgia so well and let’s

see uh the audience is once again right

on it the the question number four was

the cracking on your heels could

indicate a deficiency of what

and our audience 65

say

uh a b vitamin deficiency 15 say a

magnesium or potassium deficiency 10

percent say a zinc deposit excuse me

deficiency and 10 say a vitamin e

deficiency are they on the right track

this time doc

they are on the right track but not

exactly on the right track

it’s actually a b

b3 and b2 deficiency

but it can also

be an omega-3 fatty acid deficiency

so again the skin the dryness the

flakiness the the cracking um you need

more

fish oil you need more uh collaboration

you need the omega-3 fatty acid but the

b vitamin deficiency

you don’t have to worry about that if

you don’t consume these grain products

in the sugar so if you’re off the grains

like the bread pasta cereal crackers

biscuits waffles pancakes muffins

then you probably are not going to end

up with a b deficiency

unless you took

an antibiotic

which basically destroys the the gut

microbiome that makes your b vitamins a

lot of your b vitamins come from your

gut

so

that’s another little factor that

you might be dealing with like why why

don’t why do i show b vitamin

deficiencies i’m taking b vitamins well

because your gut is is imbalanced so

that’s another

reason why you should consume sauerkraut

and fermented things fermented

vegetables

kimchi that would be a good one and even

sometimes some good

kefir better than yogurt the reason i

like kefir is it has

a combination of uh friendly yeast and

friendly bacteria a lot more than the

yogurt

and um

it um

it’s it’s and there’s not going to be

like a lot of lactose in there because

the microbes are going to eat that

lactose so if you have a lactose

intolerance

uh you probably won’t have that when you

take keeper because it also these

microbes make

the enzyme to break down lactose now i

do want to say one thing

right now the way i make my kefir is

from the raw milk not the pasteurized

milk and boy is that

way better uh experience and so if

you’re saying well my state doesn’t sell

raw milk if you look up real milk.com

it’ll like 43 states you can you can

actually

get raw milk and um you can get the

cream you can get butter you don’t have

to get the milk

and um so these farms are now

you you have to do it like you might

have to do cow sharing and things like

that but there’s a way to do it and

i’m a little spoiled now with my

raw

cream in my coffee in the morning i

can’t go back to anything else because

i’m

once you have that it’s like wow it’s

like over the top wow sounds delicious

okay uh we are short on time but corey

is going to demonstrate how we can get a

question

in 30 seconds so corey unmute yourself

you’re on with dr byrd

sure i can do that hey zuckerberg um

great to be on you’re so i’m

knowledgeable really appreciate it

um

so i had a hip pain for the last like

year and a half

and i watched some of your videos and

just kind of wanted to maybe get some

first hand you know advice from you

what to do like what the most important

things to do

and um how long it might take to fix it

is it is it the right hip or the left

hip

my left hip

okay um is it right in the socket or is

it uh

the front part or the back where the

sacroiliac joint is like where exactly

is it

you know it kind of travels so sometimes

it’s more in my groin

and then sometimes it’s kind of like on

my thigh and then definitely kind of

towards the back right on that hip bone

uh the side back i guess i know the

definition

okay

you know um when someone would come into

my office with that i would i would just

the first thing i would do is i would

check the range of motion just to see

um if there was a

a tightness like in your psoas and the

or your hamstring on that side or

to look at the imbalances

yeah

so so there is some loss of uh

uh there’s some loss of or

asymmetrical type

motion in that hip with the other one

yeah and i know my body is very very

tight

okay

you know honestly i i would um

the

the structure of your muscles um are

dependent on those muscles um

and so i would honestly start getting

involved either in um

some pilates stretches which i really

like they’re they really put the

symmetry back in there and the

flexibility

or the yoga stretches

you know you can do the acupressure

which is fine and do that on the

opposite hip but that has limited

uh relief because as soon as you start

walking again

i’ll give you an example if you do any

type of uh

sport or whether golfing or riding your

bike where you’re doing um this

repetitive motion or asymmetrical

type activities or even just like

sitting

over time that can just you can lock up

that

that psoas on the right side so

you really need to um start doing

stretching type things and to keep

things symmetrical

um

so i would i would

evaluate some of the pilate exercises

and start to put that back into your

lifestyle because that’s probably what

you need and you might find that

like your right quadricep might be

extremely tight when you test it

and as soon as you loosen that thing up

all of a sudden the pain completely goes

away so

um i used to have a lot of stiffness and

so

um i i can relate to what you’re going

through right now

but you got to isolate which one it is

first

go ahead

okay

um i have started some of that and i had

i think i did notice that my right thigh

is very very tight

that’s usually the strength i do where

my left leg is

yeah it’s um you know some people find

that oh yeah you have a short leg and

wearing a heel lift and like no no no no

first check the um

the the thigh muscles because the thigh

muscles

one of them is going to be very very

very tight

the quadricep and then that

will throw off the whole dynamic

of your hip the sacroiliac joint on that

side

and so

if you take your

foot

backward and you do that stretch on the

thigh muscle and you also hit these

psoas on that side

um it’s going to give your

your hip and back tremendous relief

that would be like a simple thing to do

well that’s great corey thank you so

much for coming on love to hear if that

helps you and marianne has been so

patient with us poor thing has been

waiting we’re going to stay over to make

sure we get to her marianne would you

tilt your camera down a little bit we

just see your chin right on the top

there there we go that looks lovely and

marianne you’re on with dr byrd

i wanted to say hi dr burke and thank

you for your time and all that you try

to help everybody with my pleasure thank

you

welcome and my question is kind of like

a statement and then you can take it

from there i’ve tried keto before i

didn’t lose hardly anything

so my doctor had some concerns recently

about like blood sugars and high

cholesterol and i have a little bit of a

big tummy so

i just wondered what would be your

suggestions where do i start

yeah um the the stomach weight really is

related to um visceral fat which

actually is a kind of a spill off of

from liver liver being fatty and so um

and and that really just tells you tells

um tells you what’s going on with your

insulin levels the insulin levels are

just too high and that that’s going to

cause the cholesterol the metabolic

syndrome and a whole series of other

things so

the goal that i would recommend for you

would be to

do what you can to lower insulin and

that way

you cannot just fix the um this

belly fat but you can also

remove

fat from your liver like over 50 of it

within 14 days so you’ll

i think if you uh get on keto but even

more importantly

is that intermittent fasting the

combination of both of those are going

to be

very powerful um

now intermittent fasting what do you

mean by that if you don’t mind

like you don’t want to do snacks anymore

you want to do um like just two meals a

day and then even go to one meal a day

and don’t even worry about your calories

just

do the infrequent eating so you’re not

having these small meals for the day

because when you fast you force your

body to convert

over to you burning your fat and so you

really drop insulin

which is the kind of like the

in the presence of insulin you can’t

lose weight it’s impossible so we want

to actually keep the insulin low

by doing two things lowering the carb

and eating less frequently now when you

first do this you’re going to find that

you might think wow i’m going to be

hungry all the time but not when your

body after three days of doing it we

show you how to do it on the website

you’ll switch over

to your a different type of metabolism

where now you’re burning your fat

between the meals and your hunger goes

away your cravings go away and now it’s

a lot easier to stick with it

so i don’t have any problems with hunger

or cravings i’ve done fasting before so

maybe i just need to restart my sour

start up again

yes restart it and go one meal a day and

you should start seeing change

pretty quick

yeah because i don’t have any health

issues per se they’re just wanted to

prevent them so they don’t happen

i love it okay great plan

on that note i really appreciate all of

your wonderful questions and your

attentions and the comments on the

videos that i’m released releasing

recently i’m reading all your comments

they’re amazing have a wonderful weekend

stay tuned for some fascinating

data this next week i’m going to release

all right have a good one

[Music]

you
