Kidney Stones and High oxalate foods: https://youtu.be/LHn169caXDY, https://youtu.be/U9PJLekWSK0
Here are the symptoms and remedies for common keto side effects.
1. Brain fog - This could be a vitamin B1 deficiency or low ketones—use nutritional yeast and MCT oil.
2. Gout/high uric acid - Take a green drink, like wheatgrass juice or other leafy green vegetable juice. This will regulate your pH.
3. High cholesterol - This means you need more bile salts to break down cholesterol.
4. Kidney stones - This could be not enough water or potassium citrate. 2 liters of water a day is ideal. Also, avoid high-oxalate foods, like almonds, spinach, and chocolate.
5. Digestion issues - Adjust vegetable intake (could be too much or not enough), take bile salts, avoid lectins, and take betaine hydrochloride or apple cider vinegar.
6. Acne - Avoid dairy products.
7. Palpitations & muscle cramps - Increase magnesium, potassium, and sea salt.
8. Irritability - Use vitamin B1.
9. Gallbladder pain - Avoid nuts and peanut butter.
10. Bad breath - Increase leafy greens and lower protein.
11. Rash - Increase B vitamins (nutritional yeast).
12. Fatigue or keto flu - Sea salt and potassium.
13. Sleeplessness - Increase calcium (calcium citrate or calcium lactate) and sea salt.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights. |
| 0:28.2 | I'm going to show you how to avoid all the keto side effects in this one simple video. |
| 0:33.7 | There's many things that happen but can be prevented if you know what to do. |
| 0:38.7 | In the healthy keto program that I have, which I'm going to put a link down below, which will explain everything, if you do the correct eating plan from the very beginning, you shouldn't |
| 0:43.8 | have any of these out effects. It's when people try to do sort of keto and they don't do it |
| 0:48.9 | correctly that they end up having issues. Let's start at the top here, brain fog. That can be a deficiency of B vitamins, especially vitamin B1, |
| 0:58.5 | and also ketones. In the transition phase, when you're starting keto, it takes like three |
| 1:03.6 | days. And sometimes there's this transition period where your brain doesn't have enough fuel. |
| 1:09.6 | It can't generate the ketones as fast enough. And so you might |
| 1:13.3 | want to increase your ketones by taking MCT oil. Okay. And that can give you the ketones right away, |
| 1:22.6 | and the brain fog goes completely by-bye. Now also, nutritional yeast can also help. All right, uric acid, |
| 1:31.3 | okay, that's involved in gout. When you start fasting, certain people start having higher levels of |
| 1:36.6 | uric acid. Uric acid is an antioxidant, so it's trying to help you, but if you're prone to gout, |
| 1:43.7 | you can notice pain in your big toe. |
| 1:46.5 | Okay. |
| 1:47.4 | So a simple solution is to take a green drink, like wheatgrass juice powder, in your water, which will alkalize you and alter the pH to the point where your immune system doesn't have to create this inflammatory |
| 2:03.2 | reaction anymore. Really simple solution. You can also do potassium citrate that works, but a green |
| 2:09.8 | drink also works like magic. All right. Next one is high cholesterol. I've done a separate |
| 2:16.3 | video on this, but just so you know, |
| 2:19.2 | this might mean that you need some more bile salt, some more help with the gallbladder to help to |
| 2:24.4 | break down this cholesterol. But normally, it's not a problem. All right, kidney stone, if you're |
| 2:31.5 | prone to kidney stone, the most important thing to do is to drink |
