Dr. Berg’s Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast

Let’s talk about the best exercise for recovery. There are three main types of movements:

1. Isometric:

You’re holding a pose. You’re contracting your muscles, but you’re not lengthening or shortening the muscles. 

2. Concentric:

You’re shortening the muscle while contracting. 

3. Eccentric:

You’re lengthening the muscle while contracting. 

Eccentric motions can have a lot of benefits. There are actually more benefits of eccentric motions than concentric type motions. 

Benefits of eccentric motions: 

 • Eccentric motions may produce bigger, faster, and stronger muscles

 • There’s greater force 

 • You’ll get the best repair possible 

 • Eccentric motions are more efficient (less mitochondrial adaptation)

 • Eccentric motions may be good for people with sarcopenia, osteopenia, or tendon damage

 • Eccentric motions may produce more metabolic rate, more improvement with inflammation, and less inflammation

In this podcast, I want to cover what PCOS is and what can cause PCOS. 

Symptoms of PCOS:

 • Infrequent or prolonged menstrual cycle 

 • Excess male hormones (androgens)

 • Infertility 

 • Excess hair growth on the body 

 • Thinning hair on the head 

 • Acne 

 • Insulin resistance 

Most websites will tell you that the potential causes of PCOS are genetic or maybe environmental. But, I think the missing piece that you need to know is that high androgens can be caused by high insulin. And high androgens may cause many of the symptoms of PCOS. 

Unfortunately, insulin levels are rarely checked. You can’t really determine what’s going on with insulin by checking your blood sugar levels. You could actually have normal blood sugars and still have high levels of insulin. 

If you’re not sure what causes high insulin, I have a lot of other videos on that topic. Watch those videos and start the Healthy Keto Diet and intermittent fasting.

Today, we’re going to talk about how your liver could potentially cause stiffness in your body. If the liver isn’t working right, it may cause joint stiffness to the point where you feel like you have arthritis. 

Cholestasis is a condition where your bile is backed up and not flowing freely through the bile ducts. There is a combination of too much cholesterol and not enough bile, causing the bile to back up, which then causes inflammation. 

If there is a problem with the bile ducts, you can experience a lot of pain and stiffness, especially on the right side of the body. 

If you don’t have enough bile, you also won’t be able to absorb and utilize vitamin D, which is a powerful anti-inflammatory. Other fat-soluble vitamins will also not be available to you, which can lead to pain, stiffness, and other issues. 

The best potential remedies for stiffness:

 • Purified bile salts 

 • Get on the Healthy Keto diet 

 • Do intermittent fasting 

 • Eliminate omega-6 fatty acids from your diet

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about smartphone addiction in teens, children, and adults. 

In 2016, a study on 1240 parents found that…

• 50% of teens feel addicted to their smartphones

• 59% of parents believe their kids have a smartphone addiction

• 77% of parents feel their kids get distracted or lose focus when using a smartphone

• 72% of teens feel they need to respond to texts immediately

• 78% of teens check their devices at least hourly

It’s best to be fully invested in what you’re doing rather than constantly being distracted by your phone. This is why I try to only check my texts about two times a day. 

Smartphone addictions are similar to drug addictions in that they influence the size and shape of certain parts of the brain—specifically in the parts of the brain that involve emotion, speech, hearing, sight, memory, and self-control. 

Your phone emits EMFs, which can cause issues with your brain, heart, circadian rhythm, and fertility. 

How can you avoid the effects of smartphone use? 

1. Avoid contact with your brain/head

2. Don’t use your smartphone within 2-3 hours of your bedtime

3. Use an EMF protection case

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about an excellent natural remedy for inflamed eyelids.

Inflamed eyelids are known medically as blepharitis. This condition can cause your eyelids to become red, irritated, itchy, and crusty. Blepharitis typically appears at the ends of your eyelids, where your eyelashes grow. 

The root of this problem is often an overgrowth of bacteria, fungus, or viruses. 

The best natural remedy to help get rid of pathogens is colloidal silver. Colloidal silver has potent natural anti-pathogenic properties. It can help penetrate the eyelid, unlike other conventional solutions. 

Not only is this an incredibly useful remedy, but there are not any known side effects. Using conventional antibiotics may have unnecessary side effects. 

Give colloidal silver a try, and let me know how it works for you!

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about why fasting lowers your blood pressure. 

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is usually an asymptomatic condition. The only way to know for sure that you have high blood pressure is to test your blood pressure level with a blood pressure cuff. 

There are two types of hypertension: primary and secondary. 95% of all hypertension cases are primary hypertension. 

Primary hypertension is related to lifestyle choices. These are some of the things that may contribute to high blood pressure levels:

• High salt

• Obesity 

• Smoking

• Alcohol 

The problem is, many doctors recommend a diet that includes carbohydrates, such as fruits, whole grains, and simple sugars. In fact, their recommended diet allows 12 teaspoons (50g) of sugar per day. That’s a lot of sugar! 

Keep in mind that I am not recommending that you go off your medication without your doctor's approval. Instead, I want to show you the problems with what many consider a “healthy” diet for hypertension cases. 

A study called the sprint trial was done in 2015. This study found that those who are 50 years or old who take medications live longer when taking multiple medications for hypertension. 

This sounds pretty good—but, they also found a significant increase in kidney disease risk. 

There are many problems with this study. They only used those with severe hypertension and 

Another study on 174 people who were fasting found a 90% success rate of lowering blood pressure levels naturally.

A study I read recently talked about how vitamin D levels could be linked to depressed teens. A few symptoms linked to a vitamin D deficiency are sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest, loss of concentration, and even thoughts of suicide. 

Potential causes of a vitamin D deficiency in teens:

 • Not getting enough sun 

 • Not consuming enough vegetables (not enough magnesium)

 • Snacking (insulin resistance blocks vitamin D)

 • A high carb diet (fructose blocks vitamin D) 

 • Obesity (increases the need for vitamin D)

 • Darker skin blocks vitamin D absorption 

Other symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency:

 • Achy joints 

 • Low back pain  

 • Lethargy 

 • Insomnia 

 • Anxiety 

Natural remedies:

 • Vitamin D (10,000 IUs)

 • Magnesium 

 • Vitamin K2 

A few more things for teens to do:

 • Get out in the sun 

 • Consume more vegetables 

 • Stop snacking (do intermittent fasting)

 • Get on a low-carb diet (healthy keto)

Of course, dietary sugar can raise your blood sugar, but something else can do it too. In fact, it's pretty significant. It's called gluconeogenesis. 

Gluconeogenesis means that your body is generating new glucose from non-carbohydrate sources. Your body can make new sugar from fat or protein. High blood sugar is not just about dietary sugar. Your body makes sugar from other things. 

The amount of sugar in your blood is significantly coming from gluconeogenesis. Diabetics have enhanced gluconeogenesis. So, your liver and your kidneys are making a lot of sugar, which raises your blood sugar. 

It's important to keep in mind that the body doesn't need much sugar. There are very few parts of the body that are dependent on sugar. Everything else can live on other sources of fuel, like fatty acid and ketones. 

The body has the ability to make the sugar that it needs. We don't need to get sugar or carbohydrates from the diet. However, we do need dietary fiber, which is considered a carbohydrate. 

If you're a diabetic, your body is making too much sugar because insulin isn't working correctly in your body. Even though there might be high levels of insulin in the blood, the insulin is dysfunctional because of insulin resistance. Insulin isn't doing its job, which is to keep gluconeogenesis in check. 

The real problem is insulin resistance. This is what's causing the high levels of sugar in your blood. I believe the best thing to do would be to focus on fixing your insulin resistance. This could potentially help your body make less sugar and improve your blood sugar levels. In my opinion, the best way to improve insulin resistance is to do the Healthy Keto diet and intermittent fasting. 

What if you've already started the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, and you're seeing improvements, but you still have high blood sugar? Your body is likely still in the process of dealing with your insulin resistance. It takes time to reverse insulin resistance. The key is to not give up, stay consistent, and know what's really going on.
