Dr. Berg's Wife Has Crazy High Cholesterol of 261.. — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00so you just start a keto and your cholesterol  is off the charts what do you do okay there's
2. 0:06a couple important things you need to know number  one and this was in 2018 the new guidelines about
3. 0:12the american heart association okay this  is brand new they said total cholesterol
4. 0:17is not significantly associated with heart disease  okay that's the new finding they just found out
5. 0:28looking at your total cholesterol doesn't  really give you a lot of information with
6. 0:32in relationship to predicting heart disease okay  that's number one number two your body makes 75
7. 0:4025 comes from diet why do we need  cholesterol why does your body make it
8. 0:45to make hormones sex hormones cell  membranes bile to help you digest fat
9. 0:53and vitamin d which is very very crucial  and this is why when people take cholesterol
10. 1:00drugs that block cholesterol as in statins  they have a lot of side effects relating to
11. 1:08these right here which we're not going to  get into now what i did is i took my wife
12. 1:14karen's report okay that i'm going to show you  i'm going to walk you through this this is an
13. 1:19actual report done 11 15 2019 and we checked the  total cholesterol the ldl the hdl triglycerides
14. 1:29and we checked several other things because i  always recommend when you get a cholesterol test
15. 1:35you get an advanced lipid profile an advanced test  that measures the two different types of ldl okay
16. 1:44which we're going to cover now check this out this  is what we found her total cholesterol was 261.
17. 1:51normal is below 200. so this is too high right  so immediately you're probably going to freak out
18. 1:59unless you understand that this total cholesterol  is not the cholesterol that's floating
19. 2:06through your arteries it can't it doesn't  mix well with blood it has to be packaged
20. 2:13in a protein so the total cholesterol is  really all these other things combined okay
21. 2:19so we have ldl which is low density  lipo proteins because you need a protein
22. 2:27kind of a sac to push it through the blood  and we have high density lipo protein okay
23. 2:34so really you know take the cholesterol and just  put it to the side right now all right so we know
24. 2:39the cholesterol is high we also know her ldl look  at that should be below 100 it's 195. it's more
25. 2:46than double where it should be hdl should be  greater than 50 because you want that higher
26. 2:52because that's the cholesterol coming from the  cells back onto the liver okay it's not the ldl
27. 2:59from the liver to the cells it's coming back the  other way hers was really good 71. triglycerides
28. 3:06less than 100 hers were 66. so this is where  it's coming from right here but thank goodness
29. 3:13we did a test that goes a little bit deeper and we  measured two types of ldl one is the large buoyant
30. 3:23type of ldl which is kind of large and fluffy  as it goes through the artery and number two we
31. 3:29measured the small dense ldl particles okay so i  want to focus on this one right here small dense
32. 3:39so the way it's worded on the cholesterol  test is this right here s d l d l dash c
33. 3:47standing for small density all right here  we go here's karen's report we have her name
34. 3:53we have the date and we have the total cholesterol  which is 261 right check that out right there
35. 4:00and the second one this high ldlc that stands for  ldl cholesterol it's 195. okay if we take a look
36. 4:08on the second page right here look at this the ldl  is 2128 right but let's narrow in on this one type
37. 4:20of ldl sd ldl dash c that's the small dense low  density lipoprotein this is one that's dangerous
38. 4:30and it's actually 26 within the normal range  it's optimal so guess what this means it means
39. 4:36that karen's high level of ldl is not the small  dense type it is the large buoyant type and it's
40. 4:46the small dense type that creates the damage  it's one of the better markers for predicting
41. 4:54heart problems it's one of the best indicators for  detecting inflammation deep inside of the arteries
42. 5:01all right so let me just explain the inside of the  arteries so i got this really good analogy from a
43. 5:05dr sanjay gupta on one of his youtube videos using  a frying pan right so it's a really great example
44. 5:13of what happens on the inside of your arteries so  here we have this non-stick frying pan okay so you
45. 5:20fry something on here you put some fat on there  and it doesn't stick right and you rub it or you
46. 5:26scratch this and you get rid of this layer the  fat will start to stick here's what you need to
47. 5:33know cholesterol is not going to affect the inside  of the arteries unless there's first some type of
48. 5:39lesion some type of erosion on the inside of the  arteries where the small dense type ldl can then
49. 5:46penetrate because they're small and start  developing plaquing so the question is why
50. 5:52did karen have such high cholesterol and  such high ldl and also why did she have
51. 5:58more of the large buoyant type versus the small  dense type and that's simply because of this this
52. 6:05comes from a high carb diet it comes from  consuming the wrong types of foods when you're
53. 6:11doing a healthy version of keto where you're doing  higher fats lower carb moderate protein guess what
54. 6:19you're going to get into ketosis you're going to  start burning fat and a fat cell is composed of
55. 6:27mostly triglycerides and cholesterol so that  cholesterol has to come out it has to be mobilized
56. 6:35so you can have certain times or transitional  periods where your cholesterol goes up and it goes
57. 6:39down but as long as you keep your carbs low you're  going to get more of this type of cholesterol
58. 6:47and this is why i always recommend doing an  advanced lipid profile not just your regular
59. 6:52test that doesn't tell you very much information  and so getting back to the arteries there's
60. 6:59various things that cause inflammation  in addition to the glucose in the sugar
61. 7:04which is a kind of a most people know that seed  oils a lot of corn oils canola soy cottonseed
62. 7:12oil and so many different foods mayonnaise salad  dressings going off to dinner eating fried foods
63. 7:20very inflammatory smoking creates inflammation  junk food creates inflammation and also
64. 7:26when you're deficient in vitamin e and you become  deficient in vitamin e when you start consuming
65. 7:31refined flour products and that would be in the  form of breads and pastas cereal crackers biscuits
66. 7:36things like that you start becoming depleted of  vitamin e which is the protective antioxidant to
67. 7:42protect the inside of the arteries and by the  way if you have any problems with the inside
68. 7:48of your artery the best vitamin e to take is not  tocopherols it's tocatrinals okay that's the one
69. 7:54that you would want to help protect the inside  of that layer so now let's take a look inside
70. 8:00the artery and get a visual of what can happen so  we're looking here at the inside of an artery this
71. 8:08tiny layer on the inside of the artery is called  the endothelium and this layer controls the tone
72. 8:16of your blood vessel it can increase the blood  pressure it can decrease the blood pressure
73. 8:21it can make the artery thicker or more  elastic but it's very sensitive to sugar
74. 8:28especially chronic sugar i'm  talking about chronic glucose
75. 8:32an average person in america consumes between 250  to 350 grams of glucose that is at least 13 to 15
76. 8:43times what is normal so when you expose the inside  of your artery to that much glucose what's going
77. 8:50to happen we're going to get this oxidation effect  it's like rusting out the inside of your arteries
78. 8:57now what happens next is the body's response to an  injury we're going to get inflammation we're going
79. 9:04to get calcium that's going to come in there  and start building up and start to to act as a
80. 9:09band-aid we're also going to get cholesterol that  actually mixes in there and acts as a band-aid
81. 9:14we're also going to get fibrous tissue that's  going to act as a band-aid altogether this
82. 9:18band-aid that's created from calcium protein  and cholesterol is going to start to form a clot
83. 9:25and as that artery becomes more obstructed  the blood flow backs up and you start getting
84. 9:31a diminished flow of blood so what does blood  do it carries oxygen and nutrition so now we
85. 9:39not only starve off oxygen to the tissues we  starve off nutrition and if that blood vessel
86. 9:45turns into a capillary and ends up in the bottom  of your feet you'll get peripheral neuropathy
87. 9:50numbness burning tingling if that artery is  the coronary artery that goes to your heart
88. 9:56your heart muscle will start to cramp as an angina  and eventually a heart attack if that clot breaks
89. 10:03off goes up to your brain and starts shutting  off oxygen into your brain you get a stroke and
90. 10:09so all of this can be completely prevented  just by getting the sugar out of the diet
91. 10:16hey before you go real quick i have  a course entitled how to bulletproof
92. 10:22your immune system it's a free course  i want you to take it and here's why
93. 10:28here's you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding
94. 10:38your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that's what's
95. 10:44missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate
96. 10:49and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put
