Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Let's talk about the five reasons why people may need more salt.

Number one, low adrenals.

Your adrenal glands may acclormones that control the amount of salt in your body.

Now, if the adrenal glands are low, let's say you're not producing sufficient quantity of adrenal hormones,

as in Addison's disease, you're going to be losing a lot of salt.

It's like your body has a hole in the bucket and the salt's going right through.

And this is very dangerous because if you run an assault, your heart can't work correctly.

Your fluids are not balanced correctly.

Your blood pressure drops to low.

There's all these serious side effects that can happen.

Everyone's focused on too much salt, but not assault deficiency.

Then we have blood pressure being too low.

We mentioned that because the salt actually holds the fluid to maintain the volume of blood in your body.

So if you don't have enough salt, there's not the volume to maintain the blood pressure.

Low back pain would be another symptom of low adrenals.

And by the way, as a side note, 77% of people with Addison's have serious low vitamin D deficiencies.

And one of the top causes worldwide for Addison's, which is an autoimmune disease, is TB.

And the interesting thing about this microbe is that it has the ability to block the vitamin D receptor.

And it's a strategy that certain microbes use to survive because vitamin D gives the immune system protection

against certain microbes, especially the Epstein bar virus and even the HIV virus.
