all right so we want to talk about

headaches in relationship to doing Kido

and intermittent fasting okay this is

really a hypoglycemic type issue it’s a

low blood sugar situation your selves

have not yet adapted to running on

ketones you’re still running on glucose

and so if you implement in a minute

fasting and you try to go for a period

of time it drops the sugar okay now the

problem is that low blood Sugar’s add a

tremendous amount of stress to the brain

the central nervous system and the

nerves overall so it’s a tremendous

amount of stress in fact the brain is

the first organ to be affected by low

blood sugars okay because they depend on

glucose now there is an alternative fuel

called ketones but if you don’t know how

to do it you’re gonna run on glucose and

if you implement in fasting you’re gonna

crash and burn

okay now headaches are a very common

symptom of hypoglycemia but to really

know if your headaches are connected to

low blood sugars all you have to do as

soon as you start getting this headache

is to consume some protein because that

should instantly improve your headaches

if it doesn’t then it could be another

source all right and there’s other

videos that I have that explain that

I’ll put a link down below but the

solution to the headaches is to realize

that it’s a blood sugar thing and go

into this more gradually so for example

if you’re doing this at twice a day

you’re eating twice a day and you’re

getting headaches well add another meal

because you’re not ready to go to two

meals a day okay if you’re doing three

meals a day maybe you need to really add

a little more protein but again here’s

the problem because medically speaking

what they’ll do for hypoglycemia is they

will tell you to add more snacks like

five six meals a day which is a big

mistake even though you’ll feel better

you’ll never correct the problem you

might go wow I had some fruit I had some

protein I feel better but if you’re not

working towards running your body and

ketones you’re still going to have the

blood sugar situation because as soon as

you eat you’re going to spike the

insulin it’s going to come down

primarily because it’s the frequency of

eating that keeps the insulin

very high and if you’re trying to fix

this problem you want to work towards

going longer longer without snacking

okay so snacking is just a very quick

fix it’s a temporary situation but we

want to go longer without eating in

general and the other bad advice would

be to add some candy I’ll show you this

right here

mercs manual this is a medical book

under hypoglycemia first of all it says

the sign and symptoms headaches are a

big symptom of hypoglycemia now in this

next page they’re talking about

hypoglycemia and diabetes which is a

little different than this but I wanted

to mention what they recommend diabetic

patients taking insulin should always

carry sugar lumps or candy with them and

the patients family and friends should

instruct in recognizing these symptoms

of hypoglycemia and in giving an

emergency treatment mentioned above now

I do understand that if it’s an

emergency low blood sugar situation to

get it up pretty fast but there’s no

real questioning on what’s gonna correct

this problem how do we stop getting in

this situation because if you’re taking

a certain amount of insulin and you’re

ending them with low blood sugars then

why don’t we take less insulin so it

doesn’t drop so far okay I’m gonna do a

whole video on that but the point is

that if you get headaches when you do it

in a minute fasting or keto program

realize that it’s a usually a blood

sugar situation you haven’t adapted yet

and yes if you snack or eat protein

you’ll feel better but you have to

really get the big picture and realize

that unless you adapt your body to

ketones

you’ll never fix this issue alright
