Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast

In this podcast, I’m going to tell you how to have more energy every day without using stimulants like coffee or energy drinks! Coffee doesn't give you energy. It gets rid of the fatigue molecule so that you don’t feel tired. Glucose and sugar might seem to give you an energy boost, but they actually make you tired! Here are 7 ways to raise your energy levels naturally without a crash. 1. Magnesium Magnesium is a cofactor to make ATP, which is like the battery source for the body. The #1 symptom of low magnesium is fatigue. Magnesium-rich foods include spinach, almonds, avocado, and fish. 2. Sodium-potassium pump The sodium-potassium pump in your cells allows you to generate an electrical charge that powers your muscles and your nervous system. Adequate sodium and potassium intake is crucial for healthy energy levels. Electrolyte powder can help if you’re not consuming enough sodium and potassium from your diet. 3. Mitochondrial biogenesis Creating more mitochondria through consistent exercise can boost energy levels. Fasting, intermittent fasting, cold therapy, and polyphenols can also increase mitochondria. Polyphenols are found in certain vegetables, herbs, berries, and dark chocolate. 4. Ketones If you follow a keto diet, you can get your body running on ketones. Ketones produce more energy than glucose. 5. Carnitine Carnitine is a compound that can help transport fat into the mitochondria. Carnitine helps increase exercise endurance, delays the fatigue factor, and acts as an antioxidant to decrease damage in the muscles. Red meat is the best source of carnitine. 6. Apple cider vinegar Apple cider vinegar can be used by the mitochondria as fuel. Add one tablespoon to a glass of water each day. 7. B vitamins B vitamins are intimately involved with every part of your mitochondria that generates ATP from your food. Nutritional yeast is one of the best sources of B vitamins.

This podcast explores how nutritional deficiencies can stunt growth. Zinc deficiency can make you shorter, while issues with the pituitary gland control growth hormone release. Growth hormone helps bones and muscles grow. Amino acids stimulate growth hormone, and lack of protein can diminish it. Insulin-like growth factor-1, triggered by amino acids and zinc, also influences height. The Republic of the Congo has the highest rate of zinc deficiency due to a diet high in phytic acid. Vitamin D is essential for growth.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about the health benefits of cheese and the best cheese to eat. Cheese is a great protein source, has probiotic properties, and is low in lactose. The best cheeses are goat cheese and sheep cheese. These cheeses contain A2 casein, which is easier on your digestive system than lactose. Surprisingly, the oldest people in the world consume sheep cheese and goat cheese! Cow's milk is around 4% lactose, while cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese vary from 1% to 4% lactose. Goat cheese and sheep cheese are only about .5% lactose. Goat and sheep cheese are higher in protein, vitamin A, vitamin E, folic acid, B vitamins, calcium, and CLA than cow's milk cheese. CLA helps with exercise performance and weight loss. Around 20% to 30% of the fat in sheep and goat cheese is MCT fat, which is converted directly into ketones. Sheep cheese and goat cheese generate quick energy with little stress on your digestion. Cheese from animals who graze at higher altitudes is higher in polyphenols. When you introduce these polyphenols to your mitochondria, it triggers an uncoupling effect. This means it generates extra energy, which is effective if you’re trying to lose weight. Polyphenols also stimulate mitochondrial biogenesis. Research has shown that people who live longest have more mitochondria uncoupling. Other ways to stimulate mitochondrial uncoupling include exercise, cold therapy, fasting, and consuming other polyphenols like sulforaphane, turmeric, and green tea.

Today, we’re going to talk about some of the common signs of diseases. You can use your symptoms as indicators to understand what your body needs. 1. Heart attack/cardiovascular disease Symptoms of heart disease include chest pain, left jaw pain, left shoulder pain, and pain that goes down your left arm. You might also feel dizzy or out of breath when walking upstairs. Vitamin E in the form of tocotrienols and vitamin K2 can help support the health of your heart and arteries. 2. Stroke Early warning signs of a stroke involve issues on one side of the body. You might also experience slurred speech. If you think you’re having a stroke, get to the emergency room quickly! 3. Infections If you have an infection, you may experience a tickle in your throat, a cough that won’t go away, sneezing, or a runny nose. Take 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 and consume zinc, vitamin C, and echinacea. Don’t suppress your fever! 4. Fatty liver disease If you have a fatty liver, you’ll have feelings of fullness, tightness, or tenderness under the right rib cage. You might experience referred pain in the right shoulder or right rhomboid. Intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet may help reverse a fatty liver. It’s also important to avoid alcohol. 5. Gallstones Warning signs of gallstones include dark urine, stool that floats, light-colored stool, and constipation. Gallstones are the result of low bile salts, so increasing bile salts may help. 6. Kidney stones Pain in the abdomen on one side or flank pain can signify kidney stones. Try drinking 2 ounces of lemon juice with water. Take magnesium glycinate and avoid foods high in oxalates. 7. Ulcers If you have an ulcer, you might feel burning stomach pain that typically feels better after eating. Wheatgrass juice powder with water and zinc carnosine may help improve your condition. 8. Diabetes If you have diabetes, you’ll find it very difficult to skip a meal. You’ll likely experience carb cravings and need a nap after eating. Keto and intermittent fasting may greatly help improve your symptoms. Sun Tzu Technology of War Book

This podcast discusses candida overgrowth and its causes, symptoms, and remedies. Antibiotics, pH balance, and dietary changes play a role in this fungal infection. Sugar is the primary fuel source for candida. Other conditions and a vitamin D deficiency can contribute to its development. To address candida, it is recommended to take vitamin D, eliminate sugar from the diet, and consume probiotic foods.

The podcast discusses the increase in autoimmune diseases and the role of inflammation. It highlights the impact of leaky gut and how chemicals in the environment contribute to gut inflammation. The importance of vitamin D in preventing autoimmune diseases is emphasized. The podcast also mentions the role of ultra-processed foods and medications in autoimmune diseases. Stress-induced autoimmune diseases are common, and the podcast offers dietary recommendations to alleviate symptoms.
