If you’re on keto, you’re probably doing it for health reasons or weight loss. But if you’re not on keto, what motivates you to eat?  It’s dangerous to ask your body what it’s in the mood for because you’re really asking what’s going on with your blood sugars. If your blood sugars are low, your answer will likely be refined carbohydrates.  Some people eat to try to raise their mood. Others eat just because there’s food there. It’s best not to have junk food available in your house because if it’s there, you might be more likely to start eating it without even thinking about it.  Our bodies have a mechanism to crave sodium foods. We do not have a mechanism to crave potassium foods. Our bodies retain salt, but they cannot really retain potassium. This gets people in trouble because they will ask their body what they’re in the mood for, and they will think they want something salty. They will start consuming a lot of sodium and not potassium, which will alter the correct ratio and can cause fluid retention and even more cravings.  What to do:  • When you eat, start with your vegetables first, and then have your salty protein.   • Find keto-friendly healthy foods that give you a lot of pleasure.  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about why you’re sleepy after eating, or you feel like you really need an afternoon nap. The main reason you feel tired after eating is because of carbohydrates. There are many countries that take a siesta, such as: • Mexico • Italy • Philippines • Vietnam • Certain Mediterranean countries • Southern Europe • Spain Is feeling sleepy after a meal normal? No. There is actually a name for feeling sleepy after eating. It’s called postprandial somnolence. Basically, this refers to the food coma you get every day. This is a common feature of diabetes. When you have the combination of refined carbohydrates and the volume of calories, this can cause a blood sugar spike and an insulin spike. Both of these can make you tired. Why does this cause you to be tired after eating? There are several things going on: • You activate the parasympathetic nervous system. • You decrease the blood to the brain. • You decrease the arousal pathways of the brain. • A high carb diet causes you to absorb certain amino acids but not others like tryptophan, which will be absorbed through the blood-brain barrier. Tryptophan will then directly turn into serotonin and melatonin (the sleep hormone). If you live in a country where people typically take a siesta, consider trying not to consume carbohydrates with your lunch for one week. At the end of the week, see if this little experiment has helped you feel less sleepy after eating.

Saturday & Sunday 9 am to 5 pm EST. USA Only. Take Dr. Berg's Free Keto Mini-Course! Today, we’re going to talk about the seven things that can help increase insulin sensitivity. To understand insulin sensitivity, you need to understand insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a situation where the receptor for insulin in your cells is blocking insulin. It’s not allowing insulin to go into the cells. You don’t have the function that insulin should have normally. Because of this, the body starts putting out more insulin.  Insulin is very important to help regulate the blood sugars and to help with the absorption of nutrients. But, the more insulin resistance you have, the more insulin you’re going to have, and the more problems you’re going to have. For example, in the presence of insulin, you can’t lose weight.  We want to improve insulin resistance by making insulin more sensitive. Help improve insulin sensitivity naturally by doing these things: 1. Resistance training  2. Fasting  3. Decrease inflammation  4. Reduce glucose (do healthy keto) 5. Increase sleep 6. Decrease stress (cortisol) 7. Consume more vegetables (fiber) A few additional things to help increase insulin sensitivity:  • Apple cider vinegar  • Cinnamon  • Omega 3   • Vitamin D Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

When you eat carbs, you lose potassium. Low potassium can cause symptoms such as:  • Fatigue  • Weakness   • Paralysis  • Leg cramps   • Abnormal heart rhythm   • High blood pressure   • Tremors  There is something called insulin-induced hypokalemia. Hypokalemia is low potassium. When you stimulate insulin because your carbs are high, you block an enzyme, which is a pump. You have millions of these in all of your cells.  This pump basically keeps the potassium inside of the cell and the sodium outside of the cell to form an electrical gradient so it can act as a battery. 30% of all of the energy in the body is allocated to this pump. If you inhibit this pump, more potassium stays outside of the cell, and you start losing potassium. There are more causes of a potassium deficiency such as:  • A spike in insulin  • Not consuming enough potassium foods  • Loss of fluid   • Steroids   • Alkalosis   • Diuretics   • A decrease in magnesium  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the downfall of high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup has been a very popular sweetener for the past 30 years. In 1980 an average American was consuming about 20 pounds of high fructose corn syrup. The consumption of high fructose corn syrup spiked in the year 2000 to 61 pounds, and by 2015 it was down again to 39 pounds. Many different companies have been making the shift from high fructose corn syrup to other forms of sugar.  The problem with high fructose corn syrup is that it is 53% glucose and 42% fructose—the rest is different types of sugars. The fructose can do some serious damage to the liver. All of your cells have receptors for glucose, but not fructose. Only your liver can break down fructose. If you consume a lot of fructose, you can overload the liver and create all sorts of health problems.  High fructose corn syrup is also made in a lab with cornstarch. Corn is GMO, so you’re getting that added glyphosate. Thankfully, high fructose corn syrup and even sugar are becoming less popular. I think it has something to do with the awareness of the keto diet.  Consumption of different products in the 70’s versus present day:  • Milk — down 44%   • Beef — down 33%  • Cheese — up 193%  • Yogurt — up 1600%  • Grains — up 12.7%  • Corn — up 180%   • Corn sweetener — up 300%   • Chicken — up 110%   • Vegetable oil — up 270%   • Soy — up 190%  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

Unfortunately, it’s inevitable—your ears and nose will grow and grow. While your bones stop growing in your early 20s, your cartilage doesn’t. Your nose and ears are made up of cartilage, which is why they don’t stop growing. At the same time, the connective tissue that holds the cartilage together decreases. This can lead to drooping and sagging.  Men also have a problem with something called DHT. DHT is a powerful type of testosterone that is created from testosterone and a certain enzyme. This leads to hair loss. Interestingly, though it stops the growth of hair on your head, it also increases the growth of nose, ear, and eyebrow hair.  There are certain natural enzyme inhibitors that help prevent DHT called 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors. This happens to be found in pumpkin seeds.  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

Saturday & Sunday 9 am to 5 pm EST. USA Only. Take Dr. Berg's Free Keto Mini-Course! In this podcast, we're going to talk about how ketones affect hormones and the endocrine system. 1. Insulin Lowered insulin triggers the production of ketones. When you have high insulin, you can't get into ketosis. Carbohydrates and frequent eating are what mainly trigger insulin. Lowering your insulin and running your body on ketones can have a lot of health benefits.  2. Glucagon  Glucagon is a hormone that helps mobilize and burn fat. Glucagon is stimulated by a moderate amount of protein, intense exercise, and reduced insulin.  3. IGF-1 This is a hormone that works very similar to growth hormone. IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1) mobilizes fat fuel when you're not eating or when you're keeping your insulin low. When you eat, IGF-1 goes down, and insulin goes up.  4. Growth hormone  Growth hormone is an anti-aging hormone, it helps make proteins in the body, and it's a fat-burning hormone.  5. Cortisol  This is an adrenal hormone. If you go through a lot of stress, typically, your cortisol levels will be elevated. This elevated cortisol can eventually lead to a spike in insulin.  6. Thyroid hormones  When you're on keto, and you start to make ketones, you might see a drop in T3 (the active form of thyroid hormone). This is not a problem because ketones are a much more efficient fuel than glucose, so the thyroid does not have to work as hard. Even though your T3 might be down, you should feel just fine and have lots of energy.  7. Estrogen  Estrogen can increase the sensitivity to insulin. If you have low estrogen levels, you may find that you have more symptoms of insulin resistance. Some women with extra weight after menopause may actually be more estrogen dominant because fat makes estrogen. The healthy keto diet may help.

Overview of Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMZfy...  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBqpa...  Today we’re going to talk about postmenopausal estrogen. Before you go through menopause, the ovaries are working and producing estrogen. But, after menopause, when your ovaries go into retirement, you’re going to get it from other places. You can actually get it from your fat cells. If you have a lot of body fat, you could start making excessive amounts of estrogen. You can also convert some of your adrenal hormones into estrogen as well, but it’s not as much as your fat. There is an enzyme called aromatase that helps you convert fat into estrogen. This is one reason why some women end up with an estrogen dominance situation after menopause that can lead to other issues.  Potential symptoms of a postmenopausal estrogen dominance situation:  • Cancer  • Hot flashes  • Night sweats  • Vaginal dryness  • Depression  • Irritability  A fatty liver issue can also cause a woman not to be able to clear out estrogen properly, and it can build up even more.  There are 3 types of estrogen:  • E1-Estrone (produced by the adrenals)   • E2- Estradiol (made from the ovaries, fat, adrenal hormones)   • E3-Estriol (you have pretty much only during pregnancy) One thing you can do is take a natural aromatase inhibitor, such as:  1. White button mushrooms  2. Stinging nettle root 3. Grape seed extract 4. Maca 5. Quercetin 6. Licorice  7. Genistein 8.

A lot of people are taking a good amount of vitamin D because of all of the amazing benefits of vitamin D, but high doses of vitamin D can deplete magnesium, which isn’t good. Vitamin D is important for:  • The immune system   • Keeping calcium in the bone  • Decreasing inflammation If you have large amounts of vitamin D over time without enough magnesium in your diet, this could intensify a magnesium deficiency. Vitamin D and magnesium work together. If you increase vitamin D, you could potentially decrease magnesium.  Magnesium has a very important function of keeping calcium from accumulating inside of the cells, kidneys, arteries, and joints. Magnesium is similar to vitamin K2 in that vitamin K2 helps keep calcium from building up in the soft tissues, but magnesium does that as well.  When you take high doses of vitamin D3 without magnesium, you could potentially end up with:  • Kidney stones   • Calcium buildup where it should not be If you consume a good amount of vegetables every day, or you take a good magnesium supplement, you don’t have anything to worry about. Vitamin B6 is also very important and helps both vitamin D and magnesium work. But, again, if you’re doing healthy keto, you shouldn’t have to worry about this.  Possibly the biggest danger is if you’re a stone former and you take a lot of vitamin D without getting enough magnesium because this could potentially increase your risk of kidney stones.  Consuming at least 7 cups of vegetables per day will help you get the magnesium you need. Leafy greens and certain nuts are rich in magnesium.  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

I want to clear up some of the confusion around carbohydrates and sugars.  What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are made up of sugars, starches, and fiber. The biochemical name for a carbohydrate is a saccharide. Carbohydrates are a compound of saccharides, and carbohydrates are classified by the number of saccharides. The Greek word for saccharides is “sugar.” Monosaccharides—Mono means “single” or “one.” So a monosaccharide would be one saccharide. Monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, or galactose. This would be considered a simple sugar.  Disaccharides—Means two monosaccharides. An example would be table sugar or sucrose. Sucrose is composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. Disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides make up complex carbohydrates.  Oligosaccharides—These are 3-9 monosaccharides. Polysaccharides—Poly means “many.” This would be about ten or more monosaccharides. A few examples of polysaccharides would be starches like potatoes, rice, wheat, and corn.

I want to cover the fasting effects on a diabetic's eyes. In a study done on mice, researchers found that fasting had a protective effect on the retina and other nerves. The retina is nerve tissue. They found that fasting improves the microbiome (your friendly bacteria). It causes the microbes to change bile salts to a compound called TUDCA, which then gives protection to your nerves.  If you're a diabetic, you could have problems with the vascular supply to the nerves. The nerves can start to die in the fingertips, toes, eyes, and kidneys. TUDCA counters the damage to the nerves not just in the eyes but in other nerves as well.  What causes this problem originally is the high levels of sugar that a diabetic is living with. Sugar is very corrosive, and it can destroy the nervous system. When you're fasting, you're cutting out sugar and normalizing your insulin levels. When you fast, your microbes improve.  With fasting your microbes:  • Start to increase the resistance to oxidative stress  • Diversify   • Live longer   • Tolerate pathogens better Making your microbes stronger can also:  • Help you produce certain byproducts that help your blood sugars and improve insulin resistance  • Make more vitamins   • More immune protection Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

What is rancid oil? This is the incomplete or complete oxidation of fat or oil. Fats and oils have antioxidants to protect from this oxidation. But, if it has been exposed to light, oxygen, heat, or processing, the antioxidants can start to be destroyed, causing the oils to break down.  This can especially happen to unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids don’t typically turn rancid because they’re more preserved.  A few oils/fats that are more susceptible to becoming rancid:  • Soy oil   • Corn oil   • Canola oil   • Olive oil  • Nuts Signs that that fats or oil is rancid is if it smells or tastes:  • Musty   • Sour   • Bitter  • Metallic  It can actually be toxic to your cells or genes to consume rancid oil or rancid fats in somewhat large amounts. But, even a small amount can irritate certain parts of the body. Your gut health can especially become affected. The rancid oil or rancid fat can cause a lot of inflammation in the body as well as free radical damage.  So many people are actually consuming large amounts of rancid oil without even knowing it. If you eat at a restaurant, and afterward, you feel a little sick or bloated, it could be because of rancid oil.  A few things you can do:  • Buy fresh nuts   • Refrigerate and germinate the nuts   • Don’t consume soy, corn, or canola oil (GMO)  • Buy fresh olive oil  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.

Professor Thomas Seyfried’s Discussion on Cancer: (Layperson’s Version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yyt3D...  Professor Thomas Seyfried’s Discussion on Cancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ylTp...    DATA: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/... In this podcast, we’re going to talk about ketones and cancer. I want to answer the question, “can ketones feed cancer?” I actually contacted professor Thomas Seyfried to help me with this question, and this video is based on what he told me. Professor Thomas Seyfried is an expert on cancer and ketones.  Ketones and fatty acids might be used in some slow-growing tumor cells that have retained some level of respiratory capacity.  What does that mean? There is one big difference between a cancer cell and a normal cell. That difference is how that cell is using its fuel. In a normal cell, you have this machine called the respiratory chain that basically takes fuel and turns it into something the body can use to run all of the different metabolic processes. Oxygen is the key thing in this process.  When this system is damaged, there is no oxygen. So, how do the cells turn oxygen into energy? They have a plan B. They convert over to a different mechanism where they ferment glucose and glutamine, which is a specific type of amino acid. So, cancer cells ferment glucose and glutamine. This alternative mechanism doesn’t need oxygen.  Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional & natural methods.
