this is the dr. Berg show live from the

nation’s capital it’s time to get

healthy lose weight and feel great call

now to speak with dr. Berg at eight six

six five six one four two nine two and

now dr. Eric Berg hi guys welcome back

it is Friday morning at nine o’clock

Eastern Standard Time and hey we’re

going to take your questions if you want

to call in the numbers eight six six

five six one four two nine two it should

be down below if you’re on YouTube but

I’m going to take Todd’s question first

from Florida Todd go ahead you’re on the

air yeah good morning dr. Berg huh I

have a one question that I can’t

understand I’ve read a lot about it and

basically it’s about the resistant

starches mm-hmm

if they don’t get broken down at a small

intestine but they get kicked out into

than a large one and then they get

cemented by bacteria does that mean that

they don’t raise our blood sugar as much

or at all or how’s that work thank you

that’s a very good question you have a

resistant starch which you know a lot of

people even in Aikido are taking that

especially if they’re athletes and in

the microbes in the large intestine

you’ll they’ll start to ferment that the

biggest thing that I see with this is

that people are getting gas they’re

getting digestive bloating it’s

overwhelming them now you could just do

vegetables and feed those microbes the

fibers that they need the problem with

resistance starch is there’s absolutely

no nutrients there’s no vitamins or so

minerals it’s just starch which is

basically a type of carbohydrate sugar

molecule stuck together honestly I just

don’t recommend it there’s too many

drawbacks but a lot of people are doing

it and especially if they’re doing

long-distance running you know so we’ll

find out the long-term effects of that

but hey thanks for your call hey Laura

you’re on the air you’re from Rhode

Island go ahead you had a question about

skin yeah I have some Seberg I have two

questions

my

first once out eczema what causes it

with the treatment besides taking

omega-3 is it related to hormone problem

and the other problem is the candida

rashes the you know under the breath the

belly is it it changed me like there’s

something more to it than you know some

doctors will say or people will say well

we have yeast on our skin and it’s skin

touching skin because that will happen

but I’ve been doing a program for 11

weeks I don’t know if it takes longer

I’m wondering if it’s more related to

liver is it glycogen stores being

released at this I tried oregano oil

which didn’t really do a lot but now I’m

taking mean which is better but it’s

still not doing it okay Lori quick

question did you get these skin issues

when you started the ketogenic diet no

okay so you had them yeah okay let’s

just talk first about eczema that that’s

a skin condition a lot of people have it

they’re not sure if you look it up it

always says unknown cause we don’t know

what’s causing it when you do more

research etc there’s a couple things

that are related to that issue and it’s

from my experience it’s related to the

digestive system the liver and the gut

there’s always some imbalance in the

flora on your skin you have about 400

different types of strains of microbes

that live that actually protect the skin

prevent lesions prevent rashes and all

these other things so and the same thing

with Candida

we have normally we have candida on our

body and when the imbalance a ship’s

when we have more unfriendly Candida

it’s like the kind of that you can look

at like the good bacteria bad bacteria

you start getting side effects from that

itchiness white tongue bad odor

reassures red things and things like

that

so again digestion I think what I would

do if I were you there’s a couple

to handle the internal part of the body

because in order to correct that it does

take a long time it’s not going to be a

matter of one to two weeks this could

take months if it’s systemic and that’s

the same thing with like toenail fungus

you know if this growing on the toe it’s

growing all throughout the body it’s

coming out from the outside so the best

absolute best thing to reverse both of

those conditions would be to take a

probiotic

that is very very complete and the one

that I recommend is called effective

microbes e/m effective microbes you can

look it up buy it online it’s not that

expensive and you can start taking very

small dosages of that right before bed

and maybe a little bit of kefir

unsweetened unsweetened kefir and just

take it before bed and what will happen

is over time that will build up the

floor up and your skin rashes and exam

will start kind of clearing up and so

will the candida so that’s number one

number two another remedy that is really

good for any type of eczema dandruff

flaking skin even candy to rashes is to

take one to two drops of oregano oil

okay and you put that at 1 teaspoon of

flax oil and you mix it up and you apply

that to the skin you rub it into the

skin so you have the benefit of the

essential fatty acids topically that are

really good for just reviving the skin

and then the oregano oil is the absolute

best antimicrobial thing on the planet

antiviral antifungal antibacterial it

just will heal the skin and actually

handle those microbes those growth

factors so you want to work on the

inside and then work on the outside all

right that was kind of a long answer but

ok Stacy you’re from Dallas Texas go

ahead your run on it Stacy are you there

I’m sorry are you there

this is dr. Berg yes hi hi I just had a

question about I had switched over to

the ketogenic way of eating since

February 22nd so and recently someone

posed the question that if you’ve had

your gallbladder removed that

could be an issue yeah good question

alright next question I was kidding let

me answer that question I actually have

a video on this but I’m just going to

explain what happens the gallbladder is

a sac that helps you concentrate bile bi

le bile is kind of like the detergent

that helps break down fats it helps you

concentrate the bowel to help you

extract fat side the vitamins from the

food that you’re eating so when you

don’t have a gallbladder what happens

now you just have a tube from your liver

to the small intestine so you’re never

going to have the ability now to

concentrate the bile which means you’re

going to be deficient in bile which

means that you’re going to have

incomplete digestion with fats essential

fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins so

you may eventually get symptoms of you

know fat deficiencies in the body with a

night vision problem skin issues down

the road I’m not saying you’re going to

have those right now but over time it

could have them so and you may have a

difficult time digesting fats because

you’re missing that so that it forces

the pancreas to produce more lipase

which is the fat enzyme to help break

down fats so it puts a little strain on

the pancreas so the best thing that I

would do Stacey is maybe support start

off with just one gallbladder formula in

the morning after you eat or with it

could be another meal to just take one

after you eat that will provide the

concentrated bile to start giving you

enough so you don’t run out so that’s

how I would solve it and that’s the

short answer

all right hey Lori you’re from Rhode

Island a skin problem

so go ahead you’re on the air hi um this

is my second shot I just have one more

question okay and I bought seed

probiotic TM I think it was called Pro

Am and is that it made it so much worse

because they use molasses and honey

yummy you know just seeds bacteria okay

so I mean it’s even that bad that that

that blew it up and um let me take that

let me talk about that Laurie so Laurie

already took it and she had a she had

almost had exaggeration of the symptoms

so Laurie just so you know they

do feed the microbes with molasses but I

will say that all that molasses is eaten

up already when you get it there’s not

there’s it’s less than 1 grams of sugar

it’s like hardly anything and there’s

not even sweet so there’s really it’s

not the carbohydrates that’s creating

the reaction it’s the microbes and I

should have pointed this out those

effective microbes are very effective

and they will initially stir up an

immune reaction so that being said you

want to take very small amounts I’m

talking like 5 drops before a meal

I’m before bed take that over a period

of time and then start gradually

increasing because the fact that it

turned on certain symptoms means that

it’s just working too fast that’s what’s

creating the reaction the other thing

that you may want to try in very small

quantities Lori is the colostrum because

that also is a good immune builder it’s

good for the gut good for wonderful pur

skin and increases growth hormone but

again take very small amounts before bed

and gradually work up alright hey Dale

you’re from Orlando Florida go ahead you

had a question

I got your bird thank you so much for

the abundance of information you provide

sure I am both a skill and thyroid body

type I’m about 60 pounds overweight and

I am now doing the Kino genic diet I’m

calling today to ask you about 3 health

issues I’d like to address the first is

that for as long as I can remember my

body cracks and pops all over it’s most

predominantly in my left hip and this

includes pain the second is that for the

last 4 to 5 years I have constant and

prominent muscle aches that started in

my right shin and has systematically

spread to my right thigh this ache is

deep and painful and it’s sometimes and

it is something I feel all the time the

last is about a year and a half ago I

developed a thyroid nodule it is benign

however I do realize this is a symptom I

need to address I have been diagnosed

with Hashimoto’s and I’m now taking

selenium

got okay great thanks alright so let’s

talk about the nodules first nodules

come from either estrogen dominance or

low iodine I think what I would do if I

were you I would take some seek help and

I would take that and that normally

should get rid of those nodules pretty

fast okay because that decreases the

estrogen in those areas okay the first

question cracks and pops on the left hip

that’s usually a sign of a b1 deficiency

so you can start taking b1 that

nutritional yeast might help but if it

doesn’t get rid of it and you have

problems in the left hip what you want

to do and I’m going to actually create a

video after we’re done and I’ll post it

probably within the next week you want

to work on the opposite hip okay you

want to do acupressure on the opposite

hip so you can take a foam roller take a

tennis ball okay and if your problem is

on the left tip you lay on the right hip

and you just work out those spots on the

right hip exactly where it’s popping on

the left you do acupressure on the right

okay that’ll stop the popping because it

balances it out now muscle aches on the

shin all the way up to the thigh I think

you sit on the right side okay is this

the same principle that you can use you

work on the left side so you want to

have someone maybe someone that does

massage or a body work or even your

spouse and start working up the mirror

image on the opposite shin on the

opposite thigh okay and that should get

rid of the achiness now the other thing

that causes a keenest is an electrolyte

deficiency so you might want to look at

that too especially on the ketogenic

diet a lot of people are taking the

electrolyte powder I have which is some

people say it’s too sweet there’s no

sugar in it but we just made a version

that’s not sweet at all so that’s the

version that’s currently out that’s

another thing you might want to try

especially if you have any type of

tightness cramping muscles weak muscles

that’s a potassium magnesium or calcium

issue and I just like to take it as

electrolyte powder alright hope that

helped

okay so let’s see it’s Arlene you’re

from Delaware go ahead you had a

question

hi dr. Berg hi how are you good okay I

have a question I had breast cancer in

2011 and they put me on an estrus oral

medication and it seems like throughout

the years my bones have really really

been aching sometimes it’s hard to sit

and sometimes it’s hard to stand Monday

I decided that well they said that they

wanted to keep me on it for another four

years I don’t think my body can take it

but I had decided to stop taking it

Monday and I started taking your b3 and

k2

do you think that’s a wise decision good

question and again I just have to make

one little point anything that I tell

people in this communication or all my

live videos is just for education I’m

not trying to I’m not trying to make

claims it’s going to cure anyone so

check with your doctor before taking my

advice okay yes if you have bone pain

that’s about it that’s about them in d3

deficiency and I do you know that

medication has a side effect of

depleting your d3 but when you take d3

you need k2 with it so yes you’re on the

right track as far as bone destruction

and make sure you have really good bones

whether it’s a pre osteoporosis which is

osteopenia or actual osteoporosis I

would highly recommend the d3 and the k2

combination okay that’s a given but the

other thing I think you may want to

consider taking is the estrogen balance

with dim doom is about 25 times more

concentrated than cruciferous vegetables

it’s a natural thing it’s really good to

support the immune system after

chemotherapy after radiation after

cancer so that’s something I would also

add to the mix because it’s very

protective okay thanks for calling all

right so let’s see here now we’re going

to go to Nydia from Virginia right down

the street

yes hi that’s a bit I have a question I

am NOT overweight I only weighed one

hundred sixteen pounds but I have a huge

boot I were sized

Triple D and then my doctor recommended

a breast reduction surgery so I don’t

know I know I am taking the seek help

but it’s not the only thing that I can

do to reduce the size anyway I don’t

want to do the surgery actually it’s a

really good question you’re taking the

right thing yes seek help does reduce

estrogen and basically Triple D I’ve had

women coming in their size H out of H I

didn’t even know it went that high

that’s estrogen dominance so I think the

best thing that you can also take

there’s something called estrogen

balance with dim di M because that has

specific properties to naturally balance

the estrogen in your body so you’re not

producing the wrong kind and that’s one

thing that I would recommend probably in

addition to that is the cruciferous food

those two together help balance estrogen

and that should be effective okay all

right Adrienne you’re from California go

ahead you’re on the air

yeah hi thanks for taking my call sure

I’m calling because I have a bone spur

my right ankle and I was wondering is

there a way I can get rid of it without

laser surgery and then also um we have

the issues over the past year where no

matter what type of pair of shoes I buy

because I’m like I have flat feet and

I’m please large size shoe my feet turn

inward so no matter how what good

condition the shoes are in there always

sloping down after two months after

talking again new pair and I’m thinking

it may be something chiropractic I need

to have done I’m not 100% sure

good question wonder what I can do about

it is the bone spur underneath your heel

or on the outer part of the heel where

it’s sticking backwards it’s actually on

my ankle it’s on my right side of my

right ankle okay

okay all right so let’s talk about heel

spurs I have a video on heel spurs and

flat feet you can go search it on

YouTube

but this Spurs are basically a calcium

deposit you’re you’re deficient in k2

vitamin k2 I would definitely go for the

k2 d3 combo to help balance the soft

tissue calcium that’s happening now for

immediate relief you can do acupressure

on your left ankle exactly mirror image

where the spot is on the right side

press in there you’re going to find a

tender spot that’s going to be so tender

just be gentle work that out that least

get rid of the pain part of the spur

okay work on the opposite side but the

other thing was flat feet I was born a

flat feet I mean I had my feet were like

pancakes all through sports my feet

killed me and I have every single

professional arch you could possibly

imagine

imagine you know form from my feet and

then I went into the military that was

like in the boots it was just terrible

so one day I got rid of my arch supports

and I’m like wow why it feels better so

what you want to do is the arch when you

when the arches fall and it’s flat what

you don’t want to do is massage the arch

it doesn’t work it will not work what

you want to do is massage the opposite

the top of the foot all the muscles on

the top of the foot and you want to

stretch the muscles on the top of the

foot as it goes into the shin okay I

would I would watch the video there’s a

great stretch you want to be almost like

kneeling on your couch or your bed where

your feet are flat down okay so you have

your feet stretched out so you’re

stretching all the front part of the

foot and the Achilles the enter tibialis

and the front part of the shin and then

if you do that twice or you know three

times a day you’re going to like you all

your feet pain is going to go away it’s

great for flat feet it’s just great to

balance the muscles because all day long

the arch muscles are just fighting like

crazy so this reverses the flow gives

your feet some relief and I never have

feet pain any more all right try that

out hey Brenda you’re on the air you’re

from New York oh yeah good

yeah I’m not overweight my height is

five three and I’m 130 so I don’t have

any medication in my body I walk every

day by five or six mile a day

my question is to you is like you said

it to consume egg is is good but I have

a problem with my gassy stomach if I

don’t eat too much festival is it going

to get a high colour shot or no okay is

that your only question I come like a

pre in the morning you said if you don’t

eat vegetables yeah I don’t I cannot eat

that my specimen I have a very gassy

stomach listen from you data okay apple

cider vinegar is good so I drink that

it’s helped me a lot but the thing is if

I consume it decrease the festival it is

going to be having a high quality or

next time or not yeah good question

here’s what you want to do you you can’t

do vegetables because it just gasses you

out so I would recommend doing fermented

vegetables and you don’t need as much if

you do that so you can ferment them like

sauerkraut pickles that type of thing

and try to find some vegetable that you

can consume like maybe like I said not

iceberg lettuce but like romaine lettuce

that might be okay in smaller quantities

and then you may want to supplement with

electrolyte powder so that has that has

the potassium because without those

vegetables you’re not going to get your

potassium so fermented vegetables are

the key and then I would just watch the

cluster I think you’re going to be fine

but if you have some of those fermented

vegetables that should do the trick and

this play it by ear and and if you still

the problem why don’t you you know get

in contact with me and I’ll take you to

the next level because there’s other

things you can do that take a little bit

more time all right thanks for calling

hey Nicholas you’re from Chicago go

ahead you’re on the air yes good morning

dr. Berg thanks for taking my call

I just had a question it was actually

kind of concerning last couple weeks I

just haven’t been feeling myself and

I’ve been getting a lot of cramps in my

arms leg

stomach and so it concerned me I went to

the emergency room

a couple times over less two weeks and

they did tests on me and all that my

calcium level was just slightly elevated

the first time the second time it was in

the normal range I’m wondering if I’m

just severely dehydrated or should I be

worrying about you know calcium being

too high that’s a really good question

because if you have too much calcium in

the blood hypercalcemia you could have

like a lot of soft tissue calcium

building up because it’s not being

transported into the tissues and it can

create a lot of problems for you muscle

cramps and weakness so the fact that was

slightly high is an indicator that I

think in you mentioned I think in on

your on the text right here vitamin D is

going to be the ticket so I would

definitely start taking more vitamin D

if that doesn’t help because vitamin D

deficiency is basically make your

calcium not work anymore in your body so

I would then go and acidify the stomach

because that could be other reason why

you’re not pulling that calcium in so in

that case you want to take pertain how

to chloride or apple cider vinegar to

acidify the stomach so you can start

pulling that those minerals back into

the tissue into the muscle but realize

the the muscle cramps could be other

minerals like potassium deficiency

because I don’t really know what you eat

so you probably better to just do the

electrolyte powder that I have because

that gives you a lot of potassium some

calcium magnesium and that should take

care of it especially if you just

started the ketogenic diet and then one

last thing I was going to mention any

time you take vitamin d3 you need k2

with it because they will both work

together so what will happen the d3 will

help you absorb calcium and then k2 will

stick that calcium all the way into the

bone or the muscle wherever it needs to

go alright thanks for calling hey Stacy

you’re from Las Vegas go ahead you’re on

the air well you go hi are you having

okay

yeah I can hear you perfectly okay great

so um

I I think I’m holistic and I don’t take

any medication and I’ve been constipated

for many years

plus I have psoriasis so that doesn’t

make it any better and probably about

three weeks ago I started taking try not

museum and whole psyllium husk and apple

juice and so now now I’ve got perfect

bowel movement twice daily but I notice

that I’ve got some spoilers like a small

lump on the left side of my throat and

like a mucous plug at the back of my

throat so it feels like there’s always a

pill stuck like in the back of my

trailer

first I thought it was poking Tribble

but now I’m thinking it my stomach is

overactive because it’s you know

digesting my food right right so

question you mentioned on your tax

acidosis do you feel any acid coming up

now I don’t okay so you have no gas oh

wait no I just always feel like there’s

like a lump in the back of my clothes

and so when I do take the China using it

feels like it’s stuck a little bit do I

drink extra water ah God okay so you

don’t really know what your pH is right

no I go okay

and but you’ve had constipation for a

long long time right yeah okay

so let’s just talk about that and I’m

just gonna I I kind of doubt that it is

the enzyme coming up from the stomach

that’s causing a the lump in the throat

it’s so rare to have that because you do

have a powerful protein enzyme pep taste

in the stomach that can go up through

Gurdon and start digesting your own

proteins I highly doubt that’s what it

is but when you try to eat food and you

swallow things and you feel that little

lump in the throat a lot of people have

that that is really more of a liver

thing the liver there’s something going

on with the liver now you could just get

a routine blood test to test

to make sure the enzymes are good but I

have known in the past the liver is

behind that symptom so I’m not sure

what’s happening with these changes but

I will say the best remedy hands down

for the liver would be milk thistle

because that actually has capacity to

repair liver function actually can fix

the liver and it’s great for hepatitis

inflammation and cirrhosis and a lot of

other liver issues so I would try that

first and if that doesn’t fully work

then I would see if I could do something

to support the gall bladder and see if

that doesn’t go away okay thanks for

calling Stacy hey Lisa

you’re from South Carolina go ahead

you’re on the air yes after work I was

wondering no you mentioned to always get

plenty of vegetables to kind of flush

out the fat and I’m 2 weeks into doing

the keto diet and I was tracking my

macros just because I’m in the beginning

stages I’m seeing that I’m getting

around 45 net carbs and all that’s

pretty much from vegetables I didn’t

know if I should try to get that lower

so I can stay in ketosis or that

shouldn’t matter because their carbs

coming from vegetables good it’s okay to

get a little extra yeah you know what

honestly I don’t even count the

vegetables as your carbs I don’t count

the car that’s okay

because especially if they’re like

greens and celery and stuff like that I

can see Tomatoes I can see carrots and

beets but these other vegetables I don’t

even count them so those will not affect

your ketosis in fact that will help you

so it sounds to me like you’re well

within the range that you need to be

because you’re just doing vegetables so

I think I think you’re doing great okay

no less that’s awesome to hear no thank

you so much I appreciate it

you’re welcome okay see ya hey Robin

you’re on the air you’re from

Connecticut yes I am thanks for taking

my call I have a two-part question

one is the long-term I’ve been on a

ketogenic diet for about two three weeks

now and I’m curious about long-term how

long can you stay on a ketogenic diet

safely and secondly other than you know

calcium magnesium and zinc which I take

along with a multivitamin

what other supplementation should I be

adding to my diet I eat about twenty to

thirty forty net carbs a day okay

all right so good question Robin let me

just handle that the question the last

question first if you’re on a ketogenic

diet there’s several vitamins that you

want to probably enhance one is the

potassium so the electrolyte powder has

a lot of potassium magnesium calcium and

and all the trace minerals so that’s

important and then the second thing is

the B vitamins you can get that from

nutritional yeast don’t get it from some

synthetic pills okay and then the third

thing is trace minerals just simply

because it’s hard to get so if you take

the liquid trace male minerals and the

electrolyte powder I think you’re going

to be fine with your your minerals okay

because everything else you can almost

get from your diet unless you have

weaknesses within the organs now here’s

talk let’s talk about long term how long

can you be in the ketogenic diet people

have this idea that the ketogenic diet

is just for weight loss it can create

some serious positive effects for your

health decreasing your risk for

Alzheimer’s memory problems heart

problems high blood pressure strokes why

because you’re running your body on that

field no longer on sugar fuel the damage

of running your body on glucose is just

off the charts so I look at it is like

it’s something like a maintenance that

you want to be on as long as you want to

be healthy and so you you may be able to

build up enough reserve once you hit

your weight-loss goal you can build up

enough reserve so you can you have

flexibility you can go off the program

and get away with cheating every so

often just as long as you have the full

knowledge of knowing how to get right

back on track

and that’s why I just hate the word just

your

diet it’s just a way of eating so you

could manipulate your own food because

now you can predict the response that’s

going to happen you know if you eat this

how you’re going to feel the next day so

you can just with your own awareness and

a judgement choose what foods you need

to eat because you have the knowledge of

how to use ketosis for example to

improve your health

so I always look at it a great

understanding of how food interacts with

the body and you know some people when

they say that oh ketogenic is dangerous

because you’re eating all this fat

that’s a lie you just basically you’re

reducing your cholesterol when you’re on

a ketogenic diet you’re running your

body on fat fuel I mean your body makes

3,000 milligrams of cholesterol every

single day so why would you want to

avoid cholesterol your body’s just going

to make less if you eat more so I think

I would play it by ear just keep riding

the wave see how you feel

hit your goal and then down the road

choose you know what you want to do but

I always I just recommend I tell people

hey go back to another or at start

adding carbs and see how you feel then

you’ll really know what is better that

way I don’t have to tell you you’ve

experienced it alright thanks Robin hey

James you’re from United Kingdom go

ahead you’re on the air hey dr. Berg

I’ve been on a ketogenic diet for the

last ten months I’ve lost about 125

pounds Wow my question is around

electrolyte balance yeah apart from just

feeling you know not feeling kind of run

down which is what I recognized you know

when I feeling low on salts is there

some sort of method I can use to

identify whether I have an imbalance and

then act upon it yeah good question

so the electrolytes go far far beyond

just low energy electrolytes are

necessary to build the the gradients

within the cells for transportation of

other nutrition from the contraction and

relaxation of muscle of the conduction

of nerve impulses through the nervous

system like for example let’s just take

potassium deficiency if you’re low on

potassium you will not be able to

transport the nerves

correctly so you’re good at your nerves

are going to be irritated and agitated

and weak potassium is necessary for the

formation of muscles it actually helps

you hold protein in your muscle

so without potassium you start getting

after free prematurely it’s hard to

build Bob muscle mass potassium is

necessary for the storage of sugar

called glycogen

so without potassium you can’t store

glycogen so you’re you store more fat

magnesium is necessary for the heart to

work right and so of potassium too so

without these minerals the heart rhythm

goes out of whack either a high pulse

rate arrhythmias fibrillation all those

things without calcium I mean you have

muscle cramps you have problems with

nerve channels it even increases your

risk for cancer believe it not because

calcium is the main commuter but

communicator between cells so you have

so many functions that extend beyond

fluid balance pH control so if you did a

search on electrolytes in with my name I

I cover all the function electrolytes do

so you can get a grasp of how broad

these are but if you’re doing all the

vegetables that you need I think you’re

going to get a lot electrolytes but

probably if you’re in a ketogenic diet

that tends to require a need for more

especially if you add on exercise all

right thanks James hey Jennifer you’re

from Houston Texas go ahead you’re on

the air yes my question is about casting

I have been fasting for the last four

weeks I know I’m insulin resistant but

my question is my sugar is still spiking

it’s still going up I mean even after 24

hours it’s still going over 200 what’s

going up though would that mean your

blood sugar like my sugar okay so does

that mean that I should fast longer to

try to get myself back into regular ARD

good good question Jennifer in fact I’m

going to go to the board and I’m going

to demonstrate

trait this to you okay so if I could

have the attention of the producer over

there a producer producer I’m going to

go to the board so just check this out

all right so right here we have this

thing called the pancreas and have the

liver okay

so insulin resistance is a situation

here’s insulin it’s resistance so the

body doesn’t like too much insulin it

rejection it rejects it it’s toxic to

the body it likes just the right amount

so if you take if you increase too much

insulin it will block it from the system

okay so now what happens in the cells in

the liver and other cells we’re going to

have low insulin low glucose now the

pancreas detects it because there’s no

more communication back here so you

actually the feedback is that it’s low

so the pancreas says oh really so let’s

make more so it starts to increase more

insulin by five to seven times so we

have a situation where your body is

starving of insulin and glucose yet we

have five to seven times more insulin

running through the body but not going

into the cells so it’s ineffective

insulin that’s where you have all the

damage and the runaway blood sugar

control so you mentioned in a minute

fasting because one of the problems with

insulin is that when you eat you

increase insulin right so what you want

to do is not eat for periods of time and

yeah if you could do it that’s the best

way to do it like two meals or three

meals a day without any snacking go to

two meals in fact if you really want to

be successful that will start lowering

the insulin and your blood sugars will

come down down down there’s other things

you can do to heal insulin resistance

okay chromium and I think you

if you’ve been watching my videos I have

something called insulin and glucose

support that has all these nutrients and

I’m gonna tell you but potassium

chromium apple cider vinegar magnesium

all these minerals B vitamins b1 all

that increases the receptiveness of this

right here so now that we cut out the

sugar cut out the junk food eat

infrequent add the nutrients this starts

working better we get the signals that

come back here to turn off this this

insulin so basically over time your

instant becomes lower lower and lower

and lower and then the need for the

pancreas to produce insulin becomes less

and you can start to heal then your

blood sugars will come down okay so let

me just plug this thing back in here

alright so that’s how I would give it

more time I would add those nutrients

and then see what else you can do by

maybe going to two meals instead of

three without any snacks and make sure

you add fat to that because that way

you’ll go longer without having to eat

thanks Jennifer hey Tim you’re from New

York City go ahead you’re on the air

hey dr. Berg thanks for taking my call

umm they also want to thank your wife at

a great recipes okay um alright really

enjoying it I’ve been following you for

a couple of months now I dropped 40

pounds Wow in probably about three

months that’s great yep yeah feels great

recently I get in some pains in the back

of my quads it’s a constant pain first

started out only when I was sleeping but

now it’s like in the day and everything

whenever I’m you know all day long

Oh calm I’m also doing your wheat grass

for about this about a month okay um and

my question is to end up doing apple

cider vinegar with the lemon and I’m

just curious is there possible to overdo

the apple cider vinegar okay can you get

too much ash good question well is it in

both hand strings yes okay it tends to

lean more constant on the left okay do

you or anybody comes back

good for the boat do you have any old

injuries to the hamstrings no I’ll cut

that I’m aware I mean oh okay

so yeah you can always over Dover do the

opposite of vinegar but if you’re just

taking like a teaspoon even with each

meal you’re not going to overdo it in

fact that should actually help get rid

of lactic acid in the muscle but the

cramps in the muscle you usually come

from either potassium deficiency but

you’re taking the wheatgrass so chances

are it’s not potassium so it can then

also be vitamin d3 vitamin d3 could do

it too so that’s one thing I would look

at and the last thing I would look at is

vitamin b1 because those are the key

nutrients that become depleted on the

ketogenic diet so if you took some

nutritional yeast that may help you

greatly

okay so b1 additional use of vitamin D

and you’re already getting the

wheatgrass so you should have enough

potassium so that’s what I would go

after last thing Tim you can actually

massage with a foam roller your

quadriceps on both side sides to

actually knock out any pain in your in

your hamstrings and the reason I’m asked

about the old injury is because the

question is why is it in your hamstring

why isn’t it all in all muscles okay

well there could be a pre-existing old

injury there I don’t know all right

thanks for calling Tim hey Jennifer

you’re from New Hampshire go ahead

you’re on the air hi dr. Berg I’m on day

six of keto which I decided to start

doing because I have dance Lyme disease

and I want to get rid of the

inflammation so I watched all of your

videos before I started to make sure I

did everything right the right macros my

potassium but since about day three or

day four I’ve had extreme bloating which

gets worse after I eat and really loose

stools so I’m very uncomfortable and I

don’t know what could be causing it or

what to do about it okay Jennifer quick

question did you change anything right

before you got the bloating I owe the

only thing I’ve changed I’ve been you

know at the 20 to 40 grams of fat and

the three to six ounces of protein for

about

to four months the only thing I changed

was reducing the carbs okay and getting

all those greens in that you say about

the cups yeah what kind of fad are you

eating um everything um you know olive

oils coconut oils MC ki egg I think I

think what’s happening Jennifer I think

when you start to ketogenic diet that

the very the the wild variable is the

fats people just aren’t used to

consuming that much oil and fat I would

cut that down

especially the MCTS which are extra oils

and some of the other oils because

bloating is really is a lack of bile so

we can add the gall bladder formula if

we want but I think the first thing I

would do is I would cut out some of the

oils and see how you feel and that

should take care of it because you are

consuming a lot of fat there that you

might not be used to you have to

gradually build up to it so I think that

should help you a lot Jennifer thanks

for calling hey Debbie you’re from

Ontario go ahead question hi doctor it’s

in regards to liver cleanse I’m 63 I

have IBS I have to go for colonoscopies

every three or four years because they

find polyps

I’m juice fasting right now with some

salads in the evening my doctor has

diagnosed gallstones and yet I do not

have any symptoms so I’ve been googling

golf stones and I’ve seen on on YouTube

where I could probably do a liver

cleanse to get rid of them and what’s

your opinion on this doctor who’ll de

Clark that’s online and she’s

recommending I mean she’s passed away

now but she’s always recommended liver

cleanses and stuff like that yeah are

they safe liver cleansers good question

Debbie I’ve done her cleanses they are

to the extreme

I’m talking like massively extreme I

couldn’t keep it and I’ve really been

into cleanses the problem

they’re too short term they don’t really

fix the real problem they do a short

cleanse and then BOOM

they don’t really go into the diet I

personally would just change your eating

I would not do a juice fast

why because regardless of what where

that juice comes from it’s going to

spike insulin which kales of the stones

okay

the best thing to do is believe it or

not you need to do things that increase

more bile okay one is the goal but a

formula to help dissolve the current

stones you have but think about bio what

it does without bio you develop stones

bio helps you break down fats and the

question is what triggers bile saturated

fats I’m not saying go crazy with it but

you don’t have to do a low-fat diet you

can start adding fats to the diet egg

yolks which are high in lecithin and

choline which help dissolve the stones

so I think personally the the ketogenic

diet would be the best thing long-term

of course you’re going to do a lot of

vegetables and this ketogenic diet

you’re also going to intermittent

fasting which will bring insulin down

and thereby get rid of the stones so

again I mean in my first and second and

third book I recommended a liver

enhancement or the cleanse don’t

recommend it anymore because it doesn’t

really fix the problem I remember doing

a cleanse once where I took epson salts

okay two or three ounces of epsom salts

12 ounces of olive oil beet tablets I

did that like three times a day for a

week and I’m drinking this stuff down

and laying on the right side I almost

died because those those things got

stuck in my throat and I couldn’t

breathe and I was I don’t want to get

into the details but it was not pretty

but again I had to I test at all these

cleanses out I’ve been cold emmos called

Kol Emma’s which is a combination

between an enema and colonic and then

colonics and enemas

all those are good I mean to some degree

but they didn’t really get to the heart

of it which is my eating long term they

didn’t correct that did a temporary

little flush but the amount of toxins

that are in our bodies

it’s astronomical so you have to do it

slowly over a period of time or

sometimes people even get sick hey carry

on you’re on the air you’re from Calgary

how are you doctor how are you this

morning

great thank you for taking my call my my

daughter and I have just recently

discovered you I have a 12 year old

who’s going to soon be 13 and at age

four and a half she was diagnosed with a

very rare condition and went through the

surgery and then the following year she

led to a very traumatic event again

something similar related to her anatomy

and then the third year when she was

sick

perhaps should we had a third surgery

and after that she went through her

parents divorce so she’s been through a

lot of trauma and she the surgeries were

on her tummy and so she’s carrying a

their significant amount of weight on

her tummy but also I think overall and

so I know that she would definitely be

an adrenal type I think she may also

have some tyroid going on as well it’s a

bit of so Kerry just to give me the real

quick summary as she right now she has a

bloated stomach yeah her coming like

she’s carrying a significant amount of

weight under tummy okay and I’m

wondering about the keto four kids got

it okay well first of all I want to say

I actually in college I went to Calgary

it’s a great city

yeah I was up there and had a great

adventure so that was that’s awesome

that you lived there so anyway yes okay

the ketogenic diet is really good for

kids amazing for kids you want to

definitely do make sure that she does

three meals a day because what’s going

to happen it’s going to lower insulin

and you can make all sorts of really

cool delicious pleasurable treats for

your child so it’s not going to be

depriving them of anything just without

sugar

but yeah I would do that because it’s

going to reduce insulin and insulin is

the number one thing that creates

inflammation in the gut and that’s why

even people like let’s say they wake up

the money with somewhat of a flat

stomach and then they at the end of day

they got this distended stomach that’s

insulin now it could be cortisol from

stress and it sounds like she’s been

through stress but by fixing the insulin

factor that will automatically decrease

the cortisol and she will do much better

with that bloating she probably would

also bend it for him from the what’s

called cortisol the adrenal and cortisol

relief which basically just helps

cortisol help stress relief helps her

sleep things like that so I would

recommend that highly recommend it for a

thirteen-year-old for sure and be

surprised how many conditions can go

away from that thanks Karen

hey Logan you’re from Texas go ahead

you’re on the air hey doctor hey so I’ve

been watching you for a long time and

you know I’ve been I’ve been on the

ketogenic diet for a year now and I was

diagnosed with the stage 4 gob of Stella

brain tumor in March of 2016 and what’s

happened now is been removed I’ve been

through radiation and I’m currently

going through my last round of oil chemo

and it’s been amazing how great this is

all been there’s been no reoccurrence

then some of the best result they’ve

ever seen and I’m still able to work out

at a hundred percent level six days a

week I’m fasting about 18 hours a day

and tracked my macros daily but I was

just wondering if you have anything else

that you think that I should potentially

add in basically say I’m asking what

would you do if you were diagnosed with

the stage 4 you know brain tumor what

would you do to prevent it from coming

back again yeah ok those two things I

would do very good question Logan

personally I think you’ve been through a

lot of than trauma after I guess they

took it out and then did everything else

so you want to repair the immune system

and what I would do I would buy the

highest

quality colostrum powder that you could

find and I would take that before bed I

would take a big huge beam tablespoon of

that stuff before bed why because that

basically will repair and build up your

immune system it’s wonderful to repair a

broken-down immune system sounds like

you’re doing really good but that’s one

extra step that will over time gradually

bulletproof you immune system the next

thing I would do and I talk about this a

lot a lot of videos as I would just

consume cruciferous on a regular basis

if you look at the textbook on Texaco

toxicology which is the study of poisons

and you turn to the chapter where all

the tumors are I mean it’s just like all

the chemicals it’s all the chemicals so

what you have to do is you have to do

organic everything non-gmo and I think

the SS the estrogen balanced with dim

would be probably one of the best

products and of course the cruciferous

combined with that but that’s what I

would do Logan if I were you but it

sounds like you’re on the right track

keep sugars down as low as possible and

I think it’s not going to return that’s

my opinion

hey Rob you’re from South Carolina go

ahead you’re on the air

hi dr. Burt thank you very much for

taking my call sure I appreciate it your

videos are great so I enjoy watching a

man every day Thanks

so my question is I started kind of keto

I started with Wheat Belly back in

January I’d done it before I’ve always

kind of been low carb I gave up bread

and grains about five years ago but I

lost a lot of weight I slowly integrated

potatoes again and french fries and

tater tots so I put on about 60 pounds

again so in January I started it again

you know I gave up all the grit of all

the carbs basically Aikido and then

watching your videos and you talked

about insulin resistance and how that

blocks fat-burning and I also have

anxiety disorder so that creates

especially with the diet change it kind

of increased what I would imagine

increase my cortisol though my fat

burning is blocked and I’m not taking in

carbs I haven’t been feeling that good

muscles get tired real fast

I can do Squatch it’s like the strength

is there but they seem to wear out so if

I’m not burning fat and I’m not burning

my fat and I’m not taking in sugar what

am i burning then well your your sounds

like you’re in the transition phase Rob

of adapting to the ketosis so what

happens is over time when you start

developing in some resistance it becomes

more stubborn more stubborn it takes

more and more time you could take you

know one two even two months to fully

adapt where you feel good and it sounds

to me like you have symptoms of you know

keto flu which is kind of weak muscles

kind of not as strong as possible and

for that you need potassium potassium

citrate I think you would benefit from

the electrolyte powder that I have

because that has all the electrolytes

with no maltodextrin no sugar and it

really will recharge the cells and knock

out these side effects from the

ketogenic diet that does tend to deplete

potassium and you’ll start feeling

stronger from that and you have minimal

damage the other thing you need to get

is the nutritional yeast and start

taking that that will give you the B

vitamin so if you have the minerals with

the B vitamins you should get into

ketosis a lot faster but I think you’re

in the you’re in the transition period

right now where the fact that you have

these symptoms and you have anxiety

means that you’re not fully there yet

you’re going to get there give it more

time but the anxiety will go away with

the B vitamins as soon as you take the

nutritional yeast take a tablespoon a

day and you’ll start feeling better

thanks Rob hey Leanne you’re from Ohio

go ahead you’re on the air hi dr. Burke

thanks for taking my call I called you

last week and I wanted to let you know

I’ve lost another pound and a half so

I’ve found five and a half pounds Wow in

three weeks right so but I thought I was

um my question is that I thought I was

like no sugars at all and then when I

was looking at some of my like my

I think it’s two G drinks and some of my

coconut macaroons they have organic cane

sugar organic coconut nectar organic

coconut sugar palm sugar and I know you

said to stay with stevia I wanted to

make sure if that those works not if

these were things that it wasn’t

supposed to be taking and also I have

one other question with a weak grass

I ordered it before I saw you and I got

it from Australia and you were talking

about how the trace minerals and all

that we don’t have here in our country

what do you think that would be a good I

don’t hate to throw it away yeah but if

I have to I will here’s a question is

that we crass powder or wheatgrass and

juice powder it a powder yeah I’m not

gonna say to throw it away but it’s

basically hey it’s the fiber without the

the real good things the juice is really

it takes a whole tray of wheatgrass to

make 1tsp of wheatgrass juice powder

what you’re getting is you’re just

getting the fiber part with a little

tiny juice so there’s a big difference

I’m not saying it’s bad for you it’s

fiber but the wheatgrass juice powder is

a is no fiber so you get just the

straight nutrients so use it up use it

up and then try mine I think you’ll like

it because it’s very high-quality and

getting a lot of response to that now as

far as the hidden sugars yes coconut

nectar coconut sugar is way too high you

want to do with your xylitol we through

tall or acedia yeah I wouldn’t do that I

would cut that up and that really brings

us to the situation you have to restart

really reading labels because it is

hidden in so many things and dressings

and sauces and and especially going out

to dinner forget it I mean it’s hard to

really go no sugar but that’s what you

have to cut out and you’ll lose even

more weight hey George you’re from

Toronto

go ahead mark good morning

it’s a great day yes it’s raining

outside but it’s still great I ask you

two questions first of all in your

videos you don’t have any forward

lymphatic system the wet system

lymphatic system lymphatic

yeah I do have a video on what is the

lymphatic system you can search that out

but you should find it okay next

question is about the kombucha tea and

overdosing I just did and I realized

hard way that is not good

even though kombucha tea is very useful

and very nice to drink right the next

question I have is what is your zodiac

sign well good question but what

probably won’t get into those signs or

whatever red in this conversation but

let’s talk about the kombucha tea yeah I

overdid it once because what happens the

kombucha tea really can put you into a

more acidic state which your pulse rate

starts to go up and you start showing

signs of acidosis I mean it’s not

dangerous but it’s just like then you

need to take some calcium calcium

magnesium to start to bring your pH back

into a balance but the point is that

yeah you can overdo it so kombucha is

very strong lactic acid at the very most

in one sitting you take a half of a jar

not the whole thing because you can

actually keep you up at night

a little bit will calm you down too much

can kind of keep you up all right

hey Debbie you are on the air from

Colorado okay first of all I want to say

thank you for all that you do and all

your research it has helped tremendously

and I I really believe in your program

and my question is is that I mean I’m

trying to keep my fat down because I’m a

very small person I’m very overweight

but I’m small I’m only I’m 49 and so I’m

trying to keep the fat down but I’m

having trouble getting into protein

without going over the fat got it

okay Debbie good question Debbie

honestly I would not try to go low-fat

if it’s naturally in the protein like

for example let’s say you had a

hamburger that’s 85 percent right eat

that don’t call low fat protein because

that’s going to spike your insulin I

think you just need to just not add

extra fat to the meal anytime nature’s

provided protein with fat eat it in that

combination like the eggs with egg yolks

it’s not going to put more weight on you

it’s not going to give you more calories

that’s going to cause more weight

especially if you’re doing three meals a

day with no snacks or even two meals a

day but I would not worry about that at

all you want to do more of a natural

fatty or protein all right good question

hey Bonnie

you’re from Pennsylvania go ahead you’re

on the air oh thank you for taking my

call I’d say a two questions my first

question is I have it all happened it

happened on one day um fatty deposits on

both sides of my eye there I mean like

my eyelid and you know they’re slightly

yellowish I I looked it up in his eye

condition like this with an axe

and they said it cholesterol deposits

and now it’s starting to happen

underneath my eye - and um I lost my

gallbladder six years ago and I’m 49 my

hormones are actually a mess right now

and I’m taking a lot of things but I

think I chose I chose the adrenal kit

and I think I’m probably the ovary kit

would have been better for me I’ve

already been through about a month but I

still don’t sleep well like you know I’m

yeah so I think I picked hormones so

Bonnie this is what I would get um I was

always thinking thinking gallbladder if

you cholesterol you get to cluster

deposit from the eye that’s really the

failure to process the cholesterol

because you don’t have enough bile

that’s the simplicity of it so basically

what we want to do is we want to have a

cool effect with my new lighting system

I have here

what we want to do is we want to just

add the gallbladder formula you have it

in the adrenal kit you have an adrenal

kit and just take probably one after a

meal or two after a meal and you’re

going to find that that should be enough

to handle it the other thing that you

want to do is take choline as a

supplement choline will help to thin the

bile so you’ll start to do well in that

but as far as your meals go probably not

going to have to add any fats to the

meal just consume the natural fats that

are in that protein you’re going to be

fine but the missing link is the bile

you just need a little bit more bile

Bonnie and that should handle it okay

hey Deborah you are on the air from

Ontario I think I already figured

another question or is this another

person from Ontario no is a different

person okay completely i am i was born

with something called congenital

nystagmus the left side of my brain and

it defects and as an adult

i’m like sorta grew out of some of the

that’s not my head wobbling and things

like that but it caused me to be legally

blind any other doctors is there

something wrong with my eyeballs the

eyes themselves and so i mean i’m sixty

but i’ve always because i’ve been

following a lot closer healthy lifestyle

and diet in nutrition and keeps doses

and it’s led me to wonder that whether i

could assess my vision or through other

means like could i i take hi GH dia a

fish oil like the high one

and magnesium all the things that will

calm my nervous system because the more

stimulated I am the more my vision will

the eyes will start to jump and I just

wondered your thoughts about you know

helping the brain - I don’t know maybe

correct some of the things that are

wrong there they don’t really tell you

because they just say it’s that in it

and I do have cousins but all of us have

a different type of symptom mine is this

God and down okay

great question Debra there’s a couple

things that come to mind to help what

you’re really talking about is

neurotransmitters in the brain which are

probably off so there’s a couple things

that you can take one is the the main

fat in the brain is DHA if you took that

that’s a healthy fat it’s in fish oils I

think you might be already taken but

take a real high-quality one like

extra-virgin cod liver oil okay so that

will give you that healthy fat there’s

two other things called

Sammy it’s called sa M then put a small

e Sammy is a a natural compound in your

body to help you make all the

neurotransmitters so if you were to take

that with vitamin b6 I think that would

help as a precursor to help build up the

neurotransmitters and help balance

things so you’re not overly excited in

the brain neurotransmitters so those are

some quick things and the last thing is

potassium you need a lot of potassium to

help the nervous system chill out so

you’re not too heavy on the flight or

flight mechanism so those are the things

that I would recommend but thank you so

much for calling okay Paula you are the

last caller from Connecticut go ahead

you are on the air

Hey you’re listening to your radio I

can’t you’re going to have to turn your

radio down and talk okay okay now I can

hear you go ahead oh yeah I can hear you

computer in the background or your radio

oh she clicked up okay cool so hey

listen guys thank you so much for tuning

in I’m going to see you next week at 9
