Today we’re going to cover why, in some cases, weight loss causes gallstones. The fat cell is composed of triglycerides and cholesterol. When a person starts losing weight, the cholesterol is going to come out. This is why some people have higher cholesterol when they first start keto.

But, bile salts help control cholesterol, especially excess cholesterol. A lack of bile can actually cause a gallstone. High insulin and a low-fat diet could also increase the risk for gallstones because they can contribute to a bile deficiency.

Action steps to help minimize the risk of gallstones:
• Go on a low-carb diet
• Take purified bile salts

Can Losing 5 Pounds Per Month Be Normal?

How much weight is it normal to lose per month? Here’s what you need to know.

Let’s talk about weight loss on keto. Is losing 5 pounds per month normal? It depends. Some people would say that it’s not normal and that you should be losing a lot more.

When you evaluate anything, you’re comparing what’s normal and what’s going on with you. So, it’s very important for you to know what is normal and what’s not.

Someone with a healthy fast metabolism could lose about two pounds of fat per week. If a person is fasting for a week, they might lose about 3.5 pounds.

But, you might have a slow metabolism, which means you might only lose one pound per week. Normal weight loss for someone with a slow metabolism is half a pound to one pound of fat per week. So, four pounds of fat loss per month isn’t bad for someone with a slow metabolism.

It’s important to keep in mind that it only takes a tiny amount of carbohydrates to block fat burning for two to three days. There are different factors like this to look at, so you can know what normal actually is and so you don’t get frustrated and give up when it’s actually working.

A few things that can affect weight loss:
• Alcohol
• Carbs
• Poor sleep
• Stress

There are also things you can do to help improve your weight loss. Fasting is a big one. If you’re at two meals a day, you can try one meal a day. If you’re at one meal a day and you’re not hungry, you could try eating once every other day. Fasting may also have a lot of health benefits that go beyond weight loss.

Lard or Coconut Oil: Which has More Saturated Fat?

In this video, we’re going to talk about lard and coconut oil—which one has more saturated fat?

Coconut oil has 90% saturated fat, while lard has 40% saturated fat (50% monounsaturated).

The question is, why would you be concerned about saturated fat? For the last 5-6 decades, people have been afraid of saturated fat based on a lie. A scientist in the 50s omitted information from a study, which led to a false conclusion. This then started a campaign to get millions of people to stop consuming fat.

Recently, the new dietary guidelines finally changed their viewpoint on cholesterol and fats. It now says that increased cholesterol does not increase the risk of heart disease.

The problem with seed oils is that when you cook them, you create trans fats. When you reheat them, you also create more trans fats. Trans fats can cause some serious damage.

When you combine trans fats with heat and with carbohydrates or starches, you get another toxic chemical and other things that cause proteins to become very sticky. This can potentially lead to certain health problems.

3:39 Bulletproof your immune system *free course!

Let’s talk about the health benefits of cacao and dark chocolate. Cacao is the raw bean that’s fermented and processed into chocolate. Cacao and dark chocolate are both loaded with phytonutrients (polyphenols and flavonols). They actually have higher amounts than blueberries or açaí berries.

There is a small amount of caffeine in cacao and dark chocolate, as well as a good amount of theobromine (a stimulant). So, if you have cacao or dark chocolate later in the day or before bed, it may keep you up.

I consume a little bit of chocolate on a regular basis, but I always consume chocolate that is organic and doesn’t contain sugar. A few brands I like are Lily’s Sweets and Choc Zero.

Cacao and dark chocolate are high in oxalates. So, if you’re at risk for kidney stones, you may not want to consume either one.

Potential health benefits of dark chocolate and cacao:
1. Decreased blood pressure
2. Increased HDL and decreased LDL (especially oxidized LDL)
3. Decreased risk of heart disease (decreased endothelial dysfunction)
4. Decreased cortisol and adrenaline
5. Decreased risk of certain cancers
6. Decreased insulin (may improve insulin resistance)
7. Decreased risk of strokes
8. Better mood and increased serotonin (it can act as an antidepressant)
9. Increased physical performance
10. Increased skin circulation, texture, hydration
11. Decreased metabolic syndrome

Ways to clear sinuses:
1. Use a combination of echinacea oil and tea tree oil as a mist. You can put a couple of drops of this in a hot bath, a nebulizer, or a neti pot.

2. Take garlic pills, oregano oil pills, and clove pills orally.

3. Drink apple cider vinegar on a regular basis. Dilute two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, and drink. You can also add ginger or lemon juice.

Diet Soda can Cause a Fatty Liver

April 20, 2021

Can diet soda be as bad as regular soda on your liver? The truth will surprise you.

In this video, we’re going to talk about why diet soda can cause a fatty liver.

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener in most diet sodas that can cause many health problems.

The byproducts of aspartame in the body are phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. Methanol then turns into formaldehyde. Together, methanol and formaldehyde deplete your glutathione.

Glutathione is one of the primary antioxidants that protect your body. It protects the brain and liver and promotes detoxification.

The depletion of glutathione when drinking diet soda happens in your liver, red blood cells, and brain. In turn, many problems can happen, including:
• Increased liver enzymes ALT and AST
• Hyperglycemia
• Liver lesions
• Liver inflammation
• Liver necrosis
• Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Additionally, diet soda can alter your gut microbiome, which can lead to many other health issues on its own.

In summary, if you are drinking diet sodas with aspartame, make sure you switch to a healthier sweetener like stevia.

Postmenopausal Women Need More Butter and Egg Yolks

April 20, 2021

Dr. Berg’s Vitamin D3 & K2: https://www.drberg.com/d3-k2

Postmenopausal women need more butter and egg yolks. Why? Because they’re at risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia. Their hormones have shifted, and they’re in a situation where they need to build bone.

Most postmenopausal women go straight for the calcium supplements, like calcium carbonate, to build bone. But this is a mistake. This could potentially increase the risk of heart attacks. The vitamin they may really need more of is vitamin K2. It’s also important not to go on a low-fat diet.

Great sources of vitamin K2:
• Grass-fed butter
• Egg yolks
• Organ meats
• Cheese
• Dark chicken meat
• Fish eggs
• Natto
• Breast milk
• Lard
• Tallow

Benefits of vitamin K2:
• It binds calcium with protein
• It controls calcium into the bone
• It decreases calcification in the arteries
• It strengthens the bones
• It can support healthy blood sugar levels
• It can decrease the risk of kidney stones
• It can decrease the risk of cancer
• It can decrease the risk of dementia
