[@KenDBerryMD]

What should we talk about next time???

[@ketokaren-everythingketo8716]

KenDBerryMD would love to hear the research on exogenous ketones. I had brain trauma in 2009 and did Keto diet for year over two years with only slight improvements I added exogenous ketonesand bam felt so much better. I have tried carnivore and everything. I can’t imagine life without them.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Can't wait!! Message me and we will setup! :)

[@margolucas3793]

How does zero carb carnivore affect gut bacteria? Have seen things on KZbin stating that gut bacteria will change & you will no longer be able to tolerate vegetables.

[@GypsyFeet316]

I had a serve head trauma 4 years ago and have found on bad brain days the exogenous ketones are beneficial. I would love to hear about reversing autoimmune disorders and success stories, and menu ideas as I get so bored with food.

[@jdmosaics]

KenDBerryMD love this vid...kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnq1pqWCo7ZrpdE and I would like to know your thoughts on oils in general. Dr Berg has Palm Oil as a “good oil”! I have always boycotted Palm Oil...because of the devastation done to the rainforests due to the cultivation of this insidious product. Thank you for sharing anything on this topic.

[@catherinebrown7941]

Thanks for finally setting it straight about how alcohol will interfere with the healthy benefits of keto!

Thanks!

Not only are Ken and Maria the two nicest people, they are Keto verifiable👍

[@margaretoconnor896]

So glad I found this today. Went keto 20 mos ago, lost 50 lbs and have stalled and regained 8-10 lbs. Found out why today- alcohol. Thanks guys. It’s going! Love what you guys do for all of us!

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thanks!

[@karenburgess5534]

Love listening to both of you and teaching people not to spend there money on Keto products. Keep teaching us about eating real food.

[@MariaEmmerich]

[@peterbeyer5755]

I lived in the northern China for a year and ate traditional Chinese food almost all the time, it included a lot of spices, chilli, animal fat, chicken feet (read calcium), beef and pork tendons, pickled pigs ears, dried and fresh sea cucumbers (similar to a huge slug or trepang) and a huge amount of various greens including mustard greens and preserved cabbage similar to polish sourcroute and a lot of other food I didn't recognise. A Chinese dietician, which by the way is a very rare occupation in China and the role of which isn't understood by many Chinese, was a good friend and was bemoaning the demise of the traditional Chinese diet and the huge increase in child and adult obesity and diabetes in China in there last 15 years mirroring and surpassing the United States in some areas. This she claims was due to Amercianisation of the Chinese diet. i.e. no natural fat and lots of sugar. I would have to agree looking at class photos of Chinese students and teachers 20 years ago there was never even an overweight student. Your message needs to be shared and spread in China to combat the ravages of the SAD that is occurring there.

[@Rubbersidedown2020]

Dr Ken Berry you are spot on. My plait has changed now that I am on Keto diet. Food I didn't like as a kid or even a month before. Are so good now .

[@davidatscp]

Tests to get done to get a baseline of your current health (see video timestamp for more info): 1. Complete blood count 0:29 2. Lipid panel - focus on Triglycerides and HDL 0:29 3. Complete metabolic panel - checks for Fatty Liver. Keto diet best for fixing Fatty Liver. 0:29 4. A1C 0:30 - best for early detection of Type 2 Diabetes 5. Full Thyroid Panel 0:33 If you have fatigue, this test is best. Tests for Testosterone and Progesterone too 6. C Peptide - even if 1/10th of a point high, it shows you have Insulin Resistance 0:35

[@cleanintermittentfasting]

What a great duo to listen to! I learned a lot! Metabolic priorities is a great topic. I'm glad to be sober.... no debate about it with that! Thank you, Sarah

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thanks!

[@acquiresimplicity]

Maria really enjoying this video and looking forward to seeing more

[@scotishcovenanters]

This was so much fun! I could have listened to you two for another hour at least! Thank you so much. This is the first time I got to meet you, Maria, and I just love you, girl! You remind me of myself when I was young. I want to get your cookbook. Nice that Dr. Berry mentioned it otherwise I would not have known! I love KETO, it has freed me of food cravings for the first time in my life, however, for some strange reason I have reactive hypoglycemia on this clean keto life. I just about pass out a couple of hours after eating a meal, my blood sugar tanks, and this NEVER happened before I went on Keto. I wish I could understand this. God bless you, Maria... and your homeschooling as well. I'm a veteran myself.

[@mrsmartini214]

higher ketones do not mean higher fat burning! Thank you!!

When I asked for labs, that’s the exact answer I got. The second time I asked for labs , a C-peptide, he ordered something different, reactive something….

My liver enzymes were 10 times the normal! Fatty liver diagnosed by ultrasound. Gastroenterologist said, “Portion control.” Have now been keto for 20 months. Sixty pounds gone, & liver enzymes are NORMAL! Gastroenterologist called for “follow up.” I said, “No thank you,”

[@MariaEmmerich]

Great job!!

[@ellek7233]

I've lost 50 pounds, my liver enzymes are back to normal, to however my fibroscan still shows moderate fatty liver, with mild scarring. You need to follow up.

Oh yes, definitely get the follow up, just to prove the improvement you’ve had in your health. Documentation is so important! And absolutely with another doctor, it’s your health after all!

One of the best interviews so far

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thanks!

[@KerryLang]

Just had my annual physical last week, and I told my doctor I'd like to have my hormone levels checked. He literally laughed and said "Why? You are so young! There's no need for that unless you're having problems." I'm 36... He also didn't even review my blood work with me. I had to ask him about it, and he said, "Oh, everything's fine." I'm in the process of looking for a new doctor.

[@marlenegold280]

Ask for a copy of labs and look at them yourself to see the actual results.

[@KerryLang]

@@marlenegold280 I always get copies of my labs. Hormone levels weren't on my labs because a doctor has to order those tests. This comment was over a year ago. I've since found a doctor that ordered the tests I asked for.

Thanks!

[@bgregg55]

a little butter or coconut oil during fasting is my strategy to tamp down any hunger pangs. it works great.

[@MariaEmmerich]

And that will break your fast. Fats raise insulin enough to break your fast.

[@bgregg55]

not according to Dr. Fung or this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3LZXmSLfa2dm8k

[@makingyoufit]

Take home point: high ketones does not mean high fat burning!

[@MariaEmmerich]

Exactly!

[@kathleengrant4341]

I saw somewhere recently, where inuits do fine on a no carb/carnivor diet because their DNA is different somehow. Have you ever researched this claim, and is it true?

[@calotcha108]

Many ppl do fine on a zero carb carnivore diet, and i don't think the DNA has anything to do with it, but maybe other factors.

[@ravenswoods177]

My god...thank you to you both for sharing your knowledge! I am a medical student and completely agree with you about how doctors can misdiagnose and dismiss patients with no solution....its absolutely shocking

[@MariaEmmerich]

Thank you! 💖💖💖💖💖💖

I don't drink alcohol of any kind. I love black coffee, water or unsweetened tea. I don't go to bbq's. I eat keto. A swig of MCT oil with my morning coffee. A stir fry of peppers, avocado, shrooms, walnuts, sometimes an egg, bacon grease. Mmm why am I not losing?

Dr Berry, I’m 61 and I’m seeing a Functional Medicine Doctor. I’ve had numerous tests and she has me on compound hormones . I do believe they are good for me and make me feel better. She says I should take them the rest of my life. They are very costly each month and I worry about the cost in my future. Retirement. Is there anything else I can do or any supplements that can help me so I can discontinue buying these hormones each month?

[@MariaEmmerich]

I would be honored to help you with a health assessment to get you on some natural supplements to help you balance your hormones. :) mariamindbodyhealth.com/supplement-plans/

[@kathyperry9208]

Hi Guys. You’re both the best. So smart and so generous with your amazing knowledge. Please advise me- when should I have an HbA1C test . While fasting ? Or at any normal time ? My fasting blood glucose is usually low but I understand now from this video that I could still have “ diabetic “ issues that are hidden. Many thanks

[@MariaEmmerich]

You can get that anytime. Doesn't need to be fasting:)

[@henriettahenson]

Friday !!!!its wednesday in England ...what sort of time line is this ?

[@MRS.SammeK]

Are they saying no because the insurance companies won’t cover it? And then the doctors stuck with the bill or billing the patient.

[@carmaela2689]

I went to my doc and asked them to check my hormones (female, 40, overweight) and they wouldn't do it and said it would only show them if I was ovulating or fertile.

Great talk, thanks! Maria, I am having "keto rash", right now, its without the rash, just itching all over. I am taking cell salts, and benadryl, and it worsens the lower carb I go, and during extended fast. I do IF and try to keep my carbs below 8. I have heard bile salts help, but my health food store did not have them, so I got cell salts. Anyway, would you do a video on the why, reason, and cure for this crazy itching? Some say to carb up, NO WAY! I have been on strict KETO for over a year now, and I've had this itching many times on an off and when I started extended fasting, it worsened and intensifies! I just cant understand, what could possibly cause this! HELP!!!

[@MariaEmmerich]

It should pass soon. Sorry.

Hi. Thank you for answering that question. The question I'm wondering about is if both your appendix and your gallbladder have been removed will this affect fat digestion in any way.

[@MariaEmmerich]

Just the gallbladder will effect fat digestion and the ox bile can help if needed.

[@beverlybough3738]

Ok. Speaking of not needing expensive potions...Is there an inexpensive, natural substitution for the very expensive JayRobb egg protein packs that have been in most recipes that I have watched from you?

This info is the direct opposite of Casey Durango of Go Keto With Casey says. She has alcohol nearly every evening. Now I am thoroughly comfused

I suspect she doesn't drink a large amount. One glass of dry white wine has about 5 grams of carbs. I'm a fan of Casey because she makes keto simple.

It is just biology. Oxidative Priority. I have a presentation here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWjdnn6Yqa5_qrM

Drinking alcohol daily is worrysome as it's habit forming. Im a nurse and working with alcoholics that had a glass a day with supper...would never endorse this. Moderation of all things is a good thing. Be safe.
