10:15 Learn more about your gut microbiome!
I believe the best diet includes both meat and plants. But I understand that some people can't consume vegetables. Let's talk about how to support healthy digestion if you can't consume vegetable fiber.
The worst type of diet is the one that many humans consume. This diet is technically an omnivore diet, but the plant products are really mostly grain products, and grain products can lead to gut damage. Gut damage can make it difficult to consume foods with fiber, like salad.
One of the benefits of fiber is that it feeds your microbiome. Your microbiome has many different functions, including fermentation.
During the fermentation process, the microbes make small-chain fatty acids, vitamins, other acids, and secondary compounds that support the immune system.
But, if your microbes don't have access to fiber, they can consume other things. If someone is on a carnivore diet, their microbes can adapt to digest protein. You're not going to kill your microbes if you avoid plants. The important thing is to avoid grains.
While some people have difficulty consuming any vegetables, other people may be able to consume fermented vegetables. This includes foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and pickled vegetables.
Fermented vegetables have additional microbes that may help support your gut. They also have prebiotics, vitamins, and other health benefits.
Tips to support your microbiome and overall gut health:
1. If you consume animal products, consume grass-fed, grass-finished animal products.
2. If you are vegan or vegetarian, don't consume grains.
3. If you have severe gut problems, try a carnivore diet with grass-fed, grass-finished animal products.
4. If you have less severe problems with digestion, try consuming fermented vegetables along with grass-fed, grass-finished animal products.
5. If you don't have any digestive problems, try consuming a combination of plants (not grains) and grass-fed, grass-finished animal products.

Grass fed beef is the way to go. Healthier and tastes better!

[@gutmicrobiomequeen]

The key 🔑 is that symptoms are NOT always an indication that a food is intrinsically BAD for you. Oftentimes, it is an indication that you have simply lost TOLERANCE to that food. I see many people who have lost tolerance to high fiber foods, but once they address the root cause(s) *voila!* they can not only tolerate more foods, but thrive on them again. I see this all the time with FODMAPs and fiber in general. (Fwiw, I agree with the basic premise of your nutrition advice in this video- limit grains and sugar, stick with grass-fed meats, and eat your veggies and healthy fats 😘)

[@user-qi3hf8ko3q]

so in order to address the causes we need to get probiotics right?

[@gutmicrobiomequeen]

@@user-qi3hf8ko3q not necessarily. Probiotics help some people, but not everyone. With IBS and SIBO (two big causes of bloating) I find that a lot more benefit comes from supporting motility and the gut-brain axis overall.

[@inphiknitfractal]

@@gutmicrobiomequeen Are you speaking of the gut-brain as the neurological capacity / functionality of the gut? Or the gut - brain communication? (determined by coherence or lack of, in the electrical curcuitry of the body, which in my opinion is a direct effect of s. a. d. combined with the stress of our western way of life in general )

[@gutmicrobiomequeen]

@@inphiknitfractal I don't think we can separate the two. Heck, I think there are more layers still- the gut-brain axis largely refers to the vagus nerve, which is part of the autonomic nervous system. The ANS also has strong ties into the HPA axis (so, what most people would call "adrenal" stuff) and stress chemistry. When I speak on the topic, I usually layer it all into a mishmosh- vagus nerve, HPA axis/adrenals, mental health, and nervous system health in general. Hope that helps (even though it may have made it more confusing LOL)

[@inphiknitfractal]

@@gutmicrobiomequeen helps ;) I heard a theory that was apparently from the Rig Veda (saying apparently because it needs a key / initiate to be properly deciphered) that head intellect, heart intuition could have discrepancies with the gut (instinct) brain that could cause discord / stress and disrupt communication between the 3 centers. Sounded plausible ;) (It was from an Oxford physics professor)

To almost any meat we eat a salad which consists of carrots, fermented cabbage, oil (in my country mainly sunflower oil, but in my family we use olive oil) and pepper to taste. We have also what's called "kapusta zasmażana" - fermented cabbage fried with bacon, carrots, onions, allspice, oil or butter and some scoops of flour (I know these are grains, but I think others benefits outweight it).

I love Dr. Berg's insight that we are all on a "digestive spectrum". Each person individually will discover what works best for them, and for some with severe gut issues, removing plants and fiber is a great way to start the healing journey back to omnivory.

[@noorjan3066]

If we remove plants what to eat instead?

[@DustinBiser]

Fat and protein. Paelomedicinia out of Hungry recommends 75-80% calories from fat, remainder from protein to heal gut permeability. Their protocol is called the PKD diet (Paleo Ketogenic), which is essentially a strict Carnivore Diet without any dairy or eggs in order to remove anything that could trigger symptoms. Then once symptoms improve, people slowly reintroduce plants again one at a time to make sure nothing is a trigger.

Yes i totally agree with Dr Berg I remember many years ago moving away from the standard diet to a Keto diet and quickly realised that the large amounts of plant fibres where causing me major issues about nine years ago when i came in contact with Dr Bergs KZbin channel. I remember one of Dr Bergs old videos about reducing the fibre content. I found the best diet for me is grass fed beef mainly (occasional other grass fed red meat) fresh fresh cod , salmon not farmed sardines etc and time to time good quality poultry. With vegetables only being fermented or pickled so like Kimchi, Spanish pickled garlic, Italian artichokes in extra virgin oil and pickled cucumbers. Good quality eggs and hard cheese .

Even our teeth resemble a cow's more than a canine's or feline's or alligator's. However, seeing as how we've all been deceived by the grain culture, we are sick through no real fault of our own and may have problems, due to gut damage, digesting these beautiful, healthful plants, which add so much color and diversity to our diet.

So difficult to talk about such subjects without including a degree-course in both biology and human-evolution to counter the usual pro-vegan or SAD muddle-heads. But one point I feel would aid understanding of a human-centric-diet that we generally follow here is that cats, dogs etc have a shorter digestive tract so are less prone to illness from raw-meat borne bacteria than humans and that we have adapted to survive from many food sources because of our opposing thumbs and the processing of food by washing, peeling cooking and fermenting prior to eating it.

About 2 and a half years ago I went to a clinic because I noticed a lot of abdominal bloating out of no where. It never really effected my life, but I would like for my own sake to have my thin abdomen back. No pain or discomfort, just a bit of constipation and lack of energy some days. It actually took me a few months before deciding to finally get it looked at. At the time, I was 22, 6' tall, and 150lbs (height and weight are still the same today, which hasn't changed since high school). I never really ate well, I usually eat very little and snack most of the time, drink a soda once a day, typical 20 year old stuff, right? I was told I have IBS and should change my diet to high fiber and even start taking fiber supplements to help reduce bloating and constipation, and was given a list of things to eat and what to avoid. After not even a week on that diet I found that the symptoms got way worse with more fiber in my system. I continued for about a month or 2 longer and still had the same thing. During this time period, I even stopped drinking sodas all together to really follow the guidelines and rule out every possibility that caused this issue. I then tried the total opposite, low fiber ("BRAT" diet). Again, after only a week, bloating decreased, constipation lessened, and I felt like I had more energy. This was not certainly not the solution, but it was just a test for myself to try and figure out what works for me. I tried a few other supplements, probiotics, prebiotics, cut different things out of my diet, and eventually found nothing that really made the symptoms go away. I ended up just going back to my old ways of snacking, soda, burgers, frozen pizzas, that kind of thing. As time went on, the symptoms lessened by about half, but are still there. Never found a solution, and I'm still like this 2 and a half years later, but this video was really interesting to help confirm my belief that high fiber was actually worse for me. I'll try eating more meats like steak (even though I'm aware red meat isn't the greatest, I'll take it over chicken any day of the week) and see if that helps since I used to eat more meats when I was younger and try to lessen the carbs as well. Thanks, Doc!

Yes. He explains this also in different ways in some of his earlier videos on gut issues. He explains how red meat (grass fed & finished) is a superfood. How a nutrients rich keto carnivore diet may be most helpful in the case of gut issues.

[@DannyDL1ght]

The problem with consuming too much meat is that it can increase uric acid and can cause all sorts of problems and diseases,i know this is not the case for everyone but many ppl are liable. I had this problem a few years ago and i had to cut animal protein, i had pain in my joints. Another friend had to cut meat because it caused liver problems and liver problems lead to gut problems, he had 2 surgeries and cut meat for a while.I guess it all depends on the quality of meat we eat and how our bodies respond to it.

[@emsyloulou2164]

Excellent concise information 👌 My only question would be if you had bloating and gut inflammation and intestinal dysmotility, assuming carnivore is preferable for these issues, where do you add for the fibre to counter the slow transit? 🙏

[@marymilo9916]

Yes great question. I'm like this too.

[@ybe7011]

I feel so much better upping my fat, lowering my protein on carnivore. I was doing too much muscle meat and was starving.

Interesting discussion as always Dr. Berg. I have been making my own sauerkraut for a few years and just started making Kefir as well. Very easy to ferment and great benefits. Many new veggie choices in the Philippines also.

[@SK-bb6ms]

Is making sauerkraut pretty easy? How long does it take to ferment?

[@denesk2794]

Went from strict vegetarian (20 years), then vegan (10 years) to Keto, then borderline carnivore. The less plant food I ate, the better I felt. Currently I am on mostly beef/bacon/butter/fish/chicken/eggs/cheese, and I eat some almonds and/or almond butter here and there. Some avocados sometimes and probably 2 slices of tomato and/or onion. Never felt this good. Grains cause instant bloating, cauliflower causes instant constipation. I just stay away from vegetables now, except "flavour quantities", like a thin slice of onion and tomato on a burger. That said, with the diet change I got rid of 15 kg in about 3 months (exercised before and do now, every day) .... and all my knee-back-wrist joint pains went away. That with mountain biking 5 days of the week at the age of 51. It's like someone replaced all the failing cartilage in me, and it literally happened in less that 3 weeks, that pains went away. On the "normal diet" I had days when I could barely tie my shoes or pick up something from the floor ... after a longer ride I could barely get out of bed due to back pain .... All that is gone ...

At 61 and right there with you. Currently OMAD/IF 20:4 and feel like when I was 19. Never went vegan but on a SAD for decades which wreaked havoc on my body. Really enjoy cycling again

Wow this is amazing journey. 👏 well done. I have mostly similar issues, bloating, constipation etc and I mainly eat plant based. Maybe time to change. By the way can you have wines on keto?

[@LunethAkumajo]

@@jenniesmith90 unfortunately not however... I find that the need for wine goes down with keto and intermittent fasting. GABA goes up naturally.

Now I understand why I feel bloated and a bit constipated despite eating mostly salads and fiber this whole week. I suffer from Colitis and Reflux :( Going to try to avoid fiber for now.

Eating fatty beef and lamb could help you with this.

Love making sauerkraut and watching it 'come alive' in the jar. The local grocery has great kimchi too but it sells out in one day. - Seems like a good sign if more people are buying up quality fermented keto foods.

[@Drberg]

That's great. Good job!

[@piss-n-vinegar8457]

Dr Berg has the most beautiful skin..aside from diet n lifestyle, I’m curious if he follows a skin care routine???

[@0626love]

skin requires vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin E selenium, zinc etc - for collagen synthesis these are a must. Also arginine is useful for collagen synthesis (glycine and proline does not have that much benefit - arginine is the precursor it requires). So seeds like pumpkin seeds, most other seeds, some nuts, are perfect for those contain these in a healthy profile. Pumpkin seeds are high in Zn, arginine, other micros, also highest in arginine (there is arginine in meat but the overall profile is not healthy if in large amounts, any meat, little is okay).

[@experimenthealthyketo83]

Well he does fast while having enough nutrients to nourish the skin despite fasting. Some of his videos on how to fast correctly answer some of that. He also uses his wheatgrass juice powder which I have noticed also improves my skin texture when I take compared to when I don’t take it for a few weeks ❤

As a big fan of Mr Berg it's sad to see his miss the mark on a few of these things, truly. He's helped me greatly in the past, but as I learn more I realise how much of what Berg says is just false. Quite disheartening.
