Everyone is different. I don't argue with anyone blaming banana for their problems. But as for me the banana does wonders in my stomach. After suffering from IBS for years of constipation, bloating, indigestion, gastritis, etc. but now I'm relieved thanks to these bananas others scorn! I tried different fruits and always had to take laxatives before bowel movements. A poop once in a week was even difficult. But now thanks to banana i poop everyday. Hallelujah!!!! Bananas are too good!

Hello there I read about your constipation, and eating bananas which is perfectly fine. May i suggest one more thing I do every day, which you may know already. As soon as you wake up in the morning and with out brushing your teeth (which is important) drink one full litre of water, a little more if you have bigger body. Don't drink all at time but pour it into a glass and drink each glass every 3-4 minutes. You will have very free poop movement. All the toxins in your body comes apart from the poop. Please do not stand and drink water always be seated while drinking. This I'm saying on any occasion don't stand while drinking water, this brings a lot of negative energy to the body as per Ayurvedic science. Good luck

Well done, Dr Berry. Good info, well presented

bulk supplements potassium citrate powder. mix 1 teaspoon into your food. twice a day. this equals the rda of 4700 mg. extra from food is a bonus. also, i mix 1/4 teaspoon salt (~500 mg sodium), twice a day. this gives 4:1 potassium/sodium ratio.

All true. I had several of the symptoms as described after 4 months on the KETO diet. I now make sure that I eat more of the potassium vegetables to stay healthy. Thanks for the video...

Lo-sodium tomato juice and lo-sodium vegetable juice (small cans ) have approximately 600-700 mg of potassium per serving, and 30 calories per serving.

Did you take the popular injection? We are still uncovering the side effects that have been hidden from us. You are describing one of the scenarios. I don’t know how much weight you are carrying, but overtime that can push people over the edge into symptoms as well. Sometimes the body holds onto fat as a protective measure, so if you are very toxic and your fat cells are protecting your body by storing it, your body may not want to let go of that unless you have something in your body to help detoxify it. That is a huge topic to start exploring. While calories in/calories out has been disproven as being too simplistic, if your leptin is out of whack, calories definitely do matter. Doing a little food tracking might be valuable. Obviously, supplementing with electrolyte drops or taking “snake juice“ that has a little bit of sea salt and potassium salt in it are non-caloric ways of getting more potassium and other electrolytes into your body and normalizing your fluid balance. Look into correct in your light environment, that can play a huge role in the electrical signaling in the body which obviously affects the heart. Complicated science that is simple to apply in real life (not necessarily easy, but simple and inexpensive for most people). Dr. Jack Kruse is the go to guy for that but more and more people are learning about it and sharing it in more Laymans terms. Jack can be found on KZread as a guest on many different health talkshows. I hope you get to the bottom of things!

Thank you, Dr Berry!

I totally agree with the idea that foods are a good source of minerals, at least they used to be, but with prevalence of "modern" farming, or crop production methods, most farms have soil so depleted in them that they simply can not be in the crops they produce... Add to that the profound affect Roundup has on the availability of those same minerals to be used by the plants... Roundup ties up those minerals so they aren't available to the plants... that's why they die... They're starving for the minerals needed for cell growth... the same way our cells starve when we don't have those same minerals...

Dr Westman, I just wanted to say that I LOVE your approach to this lifestyle in terms of the simplicity you lay it out with. When I worry about Macros and all of the other ratios when I listen to too many ketogenic vlogs, I am bound up once again with a different set of chains, in that I wonder if I am doing this right or not, regardless of the weight loss I have achieved and how well I feel. When people ask about my weight loss, I send them to your videos due to the simplicity of your message. A chronic yoyo dieter does not need more rules to bind them up in their already obsessive/compulsive dieting mode or way of eating, hence the reason I point them to your videos. Unfortunately, my cholesterol is hyper at a total of 6.16 and my LDL is at 0.77 mml (Canadian measurements) lower than the recommended >1.19. My doctor would like me to be on 40 to 70 mg of statins. I refuse! He keeps telling me he worries about me stroking out. I continue on in the ketogenic way because I feel so good, and I have quit obsessing about food. Thank you Dr. Westman, and to all of the team who contribute to this wonderful way of life.

Not expert, but taking in low pottasium for kidneys sounds like a bad idea. All your cells need potassium to use water properly. If friend takes less potassium, there will be more sodium and kidneys can swell and other tissues can swell with fluids. Kidney will not work as well if friend has too much sodium and not enough potassium. It is all about balance. I think doctor has misunderstanding.

@margomoore4527

Kidney disease can damage the kidney’s ability to process potassium. I discovered this in a pub med article, because my own kidney numbers are not ideal. You don’t say why your friend lost a kidney, or what kind of shape his remaining one is in. You say it “works fine”, but have you seen his bloodwork and know how to interpret it? There might be good reason for his doctor to restrict potassium, at least in supplement form, because it would be easy to overdose. That one remaining kidney is precious and needs to be handled with TLC! Probably adding a couple of food sources might be fairly safe; just wouldn’t want to go hog wild.

Also once diagnosed, what is gluten, what grains have gluten, what ingredients are made from gluten, and how does a person prevent cross-contamination so that the person doesn't get glutened. About 5 years ago, I went gluten free at the instructions of a nutritionist. After 10 months, my sense of smell started coming back after being pretty much dead for 20 years. As the weeks and months passed, I stopped having allergies, tinnitus, eczema, constant and lowgrade fatique, etc. In all over a period of 2 years 4 months, I had 18 health problems solved. CD and NCGS are common and are chameleons that get misdiagnosed as all kinds of other diseases. Also, I think you said that your wife is a nurse. Can she do a video presentation by herself, please? Nurses have a lot more education than some people give them credit for. Also, they are very focused in on emotional support of patients and their relatives. So, she could give some very useful info.

Keto is gluten free, unless you choose to use flours or grains that contain gluten. Which would kick you out of ketosis.

@@wormwoodbush3537 , when doing keto, there's still the possibility of getting glutened due to cross-contamination or using foods that contain an ingredient that is made from gluten. Sometimes, ingredients, that are made from gluten, have names that don't indicate they are made from gluten. Those ingredients can sometimes be "vegetable protein", some kinds of vinegars, etc. Also when eating out, the kitchen staff need to know so that they don't cross-contaminate your food or use an ingredient made from gluten. Cross-contamination is as easy as not changing gloves, using the same cutting board, etc.

@@kimberlycooper4170 yeah sorry, I do know all that stuff, I should have been more clear. It's really late at night here in Australia, I'm a bit tired, but I'm a YT addict lol, plus I'm still learning keto, so lots of research. What I was taking about was strict keto at home, using only raw ingredients. I understand the cross contamination thing, and the restaurant thing, I've got a latex allergy, and you'd be surprised where that crap pops up! Just like many non allergy sufferers, or people without friends with allergies, wouldn't know what contained gluten. It's a bit like latex actually, it's hidden in so many places, cause it's cheap to produce. I hope you have success in keto, you never know, in a short while, your body might recover to a point that you can handle minor gluten exposure without symptoms. I'm kind of hoping for the same miracle with latex, but I'm not holding my breath lol.

@@wormwoodbush3537 , yay! An Aussie. I love Aussies, even when you make me search online for definitions for Aussie dialect words. I've been gluten-free for 5 or 6 years. When I eat even a little gluten, I get eczema, the kind that has water blisters. I can now eat cheese, nuts, peanuts, etc. because I no longer have food or pollen allergies. I got rid of 18 health problems when I went GF.

@@kimberlycooper4170 that's awesome that you've fixed so many issues. Your vet sweet about living my Aussies lol. I like everyone, unless they're rude or mean to me (which you have NOT been, just to clarify lol). Although I do have a weakness for French men, but that's probably because I have a mate on YT who's french and we talk often, he's married and I'm in a relationship, so it's just friends, but we do say some naughty stuff sometimes, all in good fun of course. I have cured my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome with keto, so I'm a bit like you in that respect. Anyway, I better get to sleep, it's 3am! Have a great day, lots of love from down Under 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

What about Molasses? I know it has a lot of sugar, but it also seems to have a tonne of potassium and magnesium along with a good dose of iron.

I just want to say THANK YOU so much for all the info you give to us and the doable advice on how to improve issues.

Great job

I’ve done that muscle cramp dance 😬😆

Can you make more videos on carnivore diet please. You opinion is very important to me.

What about Dr. Berg's Electrolyte Powder? Has waaaaayyyy more potassium and no sugar or maltodextrin etc.

Yeah, it has way too much potassium though.

No it doesn’t. You can not take too much because you will just pee out the excess. Besides Dr. Berg says we need 4700 mg of potassium a day, and it has only 1000 mg.

Thanks Doc.

Thanks for the information. I didn't know some had Potassium.
