When should you lower your fat intake on keto? Here’s everything you need to know.

In this video, I’m going to answer a question I get over and over—when do you lower dietary fat on keto? There are a few things you need to know about this topic.

A high-fat diet is only bad if you are also consuming a lot of carbs. Keep in mind that the keto diet is not primarily a high-fat diet—it’s a low-carb diet. A diet that is high in fat and high in carbs is not a keto diet.

I’ve also found that low-carb and low-fat diets are hard on the liver (especially with lean protein), which causes a lot of digestive issues.

What if you have familial hypercholesterolemia? If you go on keto and cut down on carbs, some people are able to lower their cholesterol—others do need to cut down on their fat consumption. This is something you want to talk to your doctor about.

You may want to lower your fat temporarily if you have gallbladder issues or a bile deficiency. Bile is vital to fat digestion. Taking purified bile salts, choline, or lipase can help with fat digestion.

Another reason why you may want to lower your fat is if you’ve been on keto and your weight has plateaued. In this case, you can lower your fat to 75 grams per day. This will allow your body to tap into your own fat reserves.

Here’s what you need to know about autonomic neuropathy—especially if you have a blood sugar issue.

1:07 Causes of autonomic neuropathy
1:57 Autonomic neuropathy symptoms 
3:45 What to do about autonomic neuropathy

Today we’re going to talk about a very common yet under-diagnosed condition called autonomic neuropathy. Neuropathy means nerve damage. With autonomic, we’re dealing with a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system, which controls things automatically. It works on its own. 

The autonomic nervous system is a combination of:
• The fight or flight (stress response)
• The parasympathetic nervous system (rest or digest)
• The enteric system (another system that can control your digestive system) 

The #1 cause of autonomic neuropathy is diabetes. But, you don’t end up with diabetes overnight. It’s a gradual condition that starts with high insulin, which leads to insulin resistance, then prediabetes, and finally, diabetes. Autonomic neuropathy is also a condition that gradually occurs. You could have one or more symptoms, which are really the beginning of this condition. 

Just because you haven’t been diagnosed with diabetes doesn’t mean that your autonomic neuropathy isn’t related to a blood sugar issue. But, other causes of autonomic neuropathy could be an autoimmune condition to part of the nervous system, or a virus. 

Symptoms of autonomic neuropathy:
1. Urinary retention 
2. Hypertension
3. Abdominal pain 
4. Malabsorption 
5. Gastroparesis 
6. Constipation
7. Sleep apnea 
8. Abnormal sweating 
9. Orthostatic hypotension (POTS) 
10. Arrhythmias 

As far as having autonomic neuropathy of the genitals, you could experience symptoms ranging from pain to lack of function of those organs. 

What you could do about autonomic neuropathy:
1. Benfotiamine 
2. Alpha-lipoic acid 
+ Keto and intermittent fasting

Today we’re going to talk about the nine things your skin can tell you about your liver.

1. Yellow skin 
This could be jaundice, which is a liver condition. If your skin is slightly orange, it could be jaundice, or it could be that you’re drinking too much carrot juice. 

2. Red palms 
This could be something called palmar erythema, which could point to a problem with your liver. 

3. Spider veins
Spider veins or spider angiomas in the upper part of the body are dilated blood vessels. This could happen because the liver is not able to break down estrogen. Really, this is an estrogen dominance problem.  

4. White growths on the eyelids 
This could be cholesterol build-up. Having a liver problem could create this build-up. 

5. Purple flat bumps 
This could be something called lichen planus, which could be an indication of a liver problem. 

6. Purple/red spots 
This could be on the lower part of the legs or arms and is called ecchymosis. 

7. White scaly plaquing scalp 
This is also known as dandruff. This could be a symptom of a liver problem and could be caused by a deficiency in B2 and B6. 

8. Chicken skin 
This looks like little red bumps on your hair follicles and is called hyperkeratosis. This could be a symptom of a liver problem, which is causing a deficiency in vitamin A and vitamin E. 

9. Darker pigment on the knuckles 
This could be happening because of a liver problem that’s causing a B12 deficiency.

Intermittent fasting isn’t the only way to enhance autophagy. Here’s how coffee and herbs can help.

0:00 What is autophagy?
0:47 Autophagy benefits
1:02 How to induce autophagy
4:13 Final thoughts

In this video, I’m going to talk about how you can increase your autophagy with coffee and herbs. Autophagy means “self-eat.” This is the state in which your body begins to recycle damaged proteins and pathogens.

When proteins become damaged, they can wreak havoc on your body. To prevent this harm, your body breaks down damaged proteins with enzymes and creates new healthy proteins.

Autophagy is vital for:
• Reducing inflammation
• Increasing your lifespan and health
• Preventing cancer
• Slowing the aging process

There are several ways you can promote autophagy naturally:

1. Fasting – Fasting is a fantastic way to induce autophagy. It’s my opinion that fasting for 16-18 hours is ideal for autophagy—although few studies show an exact length of time for peak autophagy.

2. Exercise – Exercise is another excellent way to promote autophagy.

3. Coffee – Drinking coffee may help induce autophagy to some degree. I don’t recommend having much more than one cup of coffee each day. Way too much caffeine will affect your sleep, which can actually reduce autophagy.

4. Sulforaphane – This compound is a phytochemical that has health-protecting effects, including the ability to induce autophagy. You can get sulforaphane from fresh cruciferous vegetables or cruciferous supplements. You should be consuming plenty of vegetables (7-10 cups) every day.

5. Green tea (EGCG) – EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, is a powerful autophagy-inducing compound found in green tea. Additionally, EGCG is great for reducing inflammation and fighting off cancer cells.

6. Curcumin – Curcumin is a potent autophagy-promoting compound found in turmeric. Turmeric is often found in Indian foods like curry.

7. Resveratrol – This compound is primarily found in the skin of black grapes and red wine. Resveratrol has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and autophagy-promoting properties.

There is an interesting connection between vitamin D, bile, and your gallbladder. Here’s what you need to know.

3:48 VDR agonist 

Today, we’re going to talk about the interesting connection between vitamin D, bile, and your gallbladder. 

Vitamin D is probably one of the most important vitamins, yet it’s one of the most common vitamin deficiencies. 

Vitamin D is important for:
• Bone growth 
• Sleep 
• Blood sugars
• Immunity 
• Inflammation
• Cardiovascular health 
• The brain 

It’s almost impossible to get enough vitamin D from your diet. You can get vitamin D from the sun. But, you may not get enough vitamin D from the sun if you’re older, you have certain health conditions, your skin is darker, or during the winter months. There can also be issues with absorption that can cause you to not get enough vitamin D. 

Absorption of vitamin D:

• Certain nutrients can help support the absorption of vitamin D (magnesium, B6, and K2).

• If you have malabsorption, you could have a difficult time absorbing vitamin D. Issues like damage to the inside of the colon, inflammatory conditions, an issue with the gallbladder, or a lack of bile could cause malabsorption. 

• Certain viruses have a strategy of downgrading the vitamin D receptor. This can make it difficult to absorb vitamin D. 

• Cortisol, which comes from stress or certain medications, can block the vitamin D receptor. 

• Polymorphism is a mutation in the gene that is a part of the vitamin D receptor. 
 

A VDR agonist is something that connects to make everything work. A few examples of a VDR agonist would be:
• Vitamin D (in higher amounts)
• Benicar 
• Bile salts

1:05 The benefits of vitamin K2
2:36 Foods high in vitamin K2
3:11 Final thoughts

In this video, I’m going to talk to you about vitamin K2 and some of the functions that go way beyond bone health.

When we talk about vitamin K2, most people associate it with strengthening your bones and removing soft tissue calcium from the joints and arteries. Vitamin K2 does so much more.

The health of your bones is important in the production of immune cells—white blood cells originate in the bone marrow. Your bones also act as endocrine glands. They create a hormone called osteocalcin. Vitamin K2 triggers osteocalcin, which can affect blood sugars.

Here are some of the many benefits of vitamin K2:
1. Improves insulin resistance
2. Increases insulin sensitivity
3. Suppresses inflammation
4. Decreases fat accumulation
5. Increases energy capacity
6. Increases testosterone

The best food sources of vitamin K2 are:
• Natto
• Butter
• Egg yolk
• Goose liver
• Pepperoni
• Salami
• Sausage
• Sauerkraut
• Grass-fed cheese (muenster, gouda, brie, edam, and hard cheeses)

The reason why these are mostly animal products is that animals consume grass, which contains vitamin K1, and they convert it into vitamin K2. The vitamin K2 found in natto and sauerkraut are formed by bacteria in the fermentation process.

Could you be causing a heart problem by trying to prevent a heart attack? Check this out.

2:55 What to do if you’re on warfarin 
3:27 What to do if you’re on a diuretic 
4:00 What to do if you’re on a statin 

Today we’re going to talk about the problems with trying to prevent a heart attack. 

Let’s say you have hypertension,f and you’re on a diuretic. Well, the side effect of diuretics could potentially increase your insulin and create more of a problem within your arteries. 

What if you’re on statins for high cholesterol? Statins could potentially increase the risk of calcification in the arteries. It could also shut down testosterone, and it could decrease CoQ10.

Anti-clotting medications like warfarin could increase the risk of calcification, not just in the arteries, but systemically. 

Out of all of these issues, I believe the most important thing to focus on is making sure you do not build up calcium plaque in the arteries. The amount of calcium in the arteries is the biggest risk factor for mortality from a heart attack. 

A CAC test can help give you a lot of information about what’s going on inside of your arteries. The test score should be zero, but it could go over 1000. If you find out you have a high score and there is a high amount of calcium plaquing, there is something natural you could try. You may want to try taking vitamin K2. Vitamin K2 is a very important vitamin that could potentially remove the calcium from your arteries. You could take the MK7 version between 200 and 300 micrograms every day. 

If you’re on warfarin, you may want to check with your doctor and see if there is another medication you could take that would do the same thing but also allows you to take vitamin K2. You could also see if you could take vitamin K2 and, at the same time, take more warfarin. 

If you’re on a diuretic, you may want to research and speak with your doctor about taking 40,000 IUs of vitamin D3 while also increasing potassium. To get the potassium you need, you could try consuming 7-10 cups of vegetables per day. 

If you have high cholesterol, you may want to get on a healthy keto diet as well as start doing intermittent fasting.

In this video, I want to talk about a good remedy for leg cramps—especially at night.

The best remedy for leg cramps at night is quinine bark. Now, I’m not talking about the synthetic version that you need a prescription for. I’m talking about the natural bark, which contains a lot less of the active ingredient, quinine.

People have been using quinine bark as a remedy for numerous health issues for hundreds and hundreds of years. This natural bark was forgotten about for a while when the synthetic version came out. However, quinine bark has made a huge comeback recently.

Quinine bark has been used for:
• Malaria
• Parasites
• Viruses
• Fever reduction
• Pain reduction
• Heartbeat regulation
• Digestion

Quinine bark works by blocking sodium channels.

One of the biggest benefits of quinine is its ability to prevent leg cramps at night. Now, personally, I would only try this remedy after I’ve tried increasing my potassium and magnesium—which are electrolytes.

You can find quinine bark at your local health foods store or online.

Fasting and Chronic Inflammation:

3:06 Frequent eating and chronic pain 

In this video, we’re going to talk about how to help get rid of chronic pain by fasting. The influence of fasting on chronic pain is huge. Doing a prolonged fast, or doing intermittent fasting on a regular basis may help you achieve these benefits. 

How could fasting potentially help with chronic pain?

1. You’re going to generate ketones 
Ketones are an alternative fuel source that has antioxidant properties. Ketones also have anti-pain properties, and they protect neurons. 

2. It releases and helps recycle serotonin
Serotonin is involved in a person’s mood. It can help reduce neuropathic pain and reduce fibromyalgia. Low amounts of serotonin can cause pain.

3. It stimulates neurogenesis 
Neurogenesis is the regrowing of nerve cells. If you have nerve damage that’s causing pain, and you have more ability to grow that nerve, then your pain could go away faster. 

4. It releases endorphins 
This will not only help increase your mood, but it could also help decrease your pain. 

5. Neurotransmitter receptors 

6. It increases BDNF 
This is almost like miracle grow for the brain. It could help the brain grow back much better if there’s damage. 

**Frequent eating or overeating could create a lot of oxidation in the vascular system that feeds the nerves.

0:00 Apple cider vinegar vs. white vinegar
1:30 Which is better 
3:33 Benefits of vinegar

Today we’re going to talk about apple cider vinegar vs. distilled white vinegar. Does it matter which one you take? 

Apple cider vinegar:
• 5-6% acetic acid
• Source: raw apples
• 1 tbsp has 11mg of potassium 
• Certain types have the “mother” which has a tiny bit of bacteria, fiber, and enzymes 

White vinegar 
• 4-7% acetic acid 
• Source: barley, corn, sugar, potato, milk whey, grains
• Great cleanser 

Which is better? It relates to the source. Organic apples are much better than the sources of white vinegar. Apple cider vinegar also has additional benefits that white vinegar doesn’t have. But, the effects of distilled white vinegar and apple cider vinegar are going to be very similar. However, because the sources of white vinegar are low-quality, I would say that apple cider vinegar is a better choice. 

Major benefits of apple cider vinegar:
1. It’s a digestive aid 
2. It can improve insulin sensitivity

0:00 The worst type of fasting
0:10 Alternate day fasting
0:23 5:2 fasting pattern
0:38 Why are these fasting patterns bad?
1:35 Good fasting patterns
2:49 Two important takeaways

Today we’re going to talk about the worst type of fasting you could do. I’m going to touch on two fasting patterns in this video.

Alternate day fasting is when you would fast for one day, and then the next day, you would eat whatever you wanted. There is also a version of this pattern where you’re actually still consuming about 500 calories on the days that you’re fasting.

With the 5:2 fasting pattern, you can eat whatever you want for five days, and then you fast for two days. This pattern also allows you to have about 500 calories on the days that you’re fasting.

These two patterns of fasting are bad because it takes 3-7 days to get into ketosis. Fasting for 1-2 days is not long enough to get into ketosis, especially when you’re actually still consuming 500 calories.

With these fasting patterns, you won’t generate enough ketones for your brain to feel good. You could end up miserable, hungry, grouchy, and you could have cravings.

Fasting patterns that I believe work are the:
• 18:6 — Fasting for 18 hours with a 6-hour eating window.

• 20:4 (even better) — Fasting for 20 hours with a 4-hour eating window.

These fasting patterns can produce a lot of benefits. You also:
• Won’t be hungry
• Won’t have cravings
• Won’t be grouchy

Something else to note is that it only takes a small amount of carbs to knock you out of ketosis for a good amount of time.

Choline:

What can you do if you’re postmenopausal and you’ve started to develop a fatty liver? Find out.

Timestamps:
0:00 Eggs for postmenopausal women
0:05 Egg yolks and choline
0:55 Why is choline good if you’re postmenopausal?
1:27 Taking estrogen
1:40 Choline and a fatty liver
2:00 Choline dosages and sources

Today we’re going to talk about why eggs are especially important for a postmenopausal female.

Egg yolks are loaded with choline. Choline is a vitamin that may help strip fat off of the liver. It could potentially prevent a fatty liver. If you’re deficient in choline, you could be more susceptible to getting a fatty liver. Choline also helps dissolve lipids and supports bile salts, which also break down fats. A choline deficiency could even cause constipation and affect memory.

Choline may be helpful for postmenopausal women because, during this time, a woman will have less estrogen. Estrogen actually protects against the loss of choline.

Some postmenopausal women will start taking estrogen. But, this can have some complications, such as an increased risk of cancer and stroke.

Choline could be a really good supplement for a woman who is postmenopausal if she has problems digesting fat or if she begins to develop fat in the liver. Choline may potentially help reverse a fatty liver.

Having a fatty liver could set a person up for having cirrhosis. Choline may help stop that process from occurring.

In my opinion, it may be beneficial for a person to have about 425mg a day. Your body actually makes some choline, but not nearly enough. A few good sources of choline are egg yolks and organ meats.
