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 weight.

Hey guys, I'm back in this video.

We're going to talk about headaches and keto-adaptation, okay?

Now, in some of the other videos I talk about the transition from sugar burning to ketosis

or fat burning requires certain nutrients, like B vitamins and potassium, right?

Some people take these vitamins, but they don't fully adapt.

So I'm going to talk about why that could be.

There's another reason.

And it's basically withdrawal symptoms, because if you have been consuming breads, pastasurio,

whatever, for a long period of time, or junk foods, or just sugar, and you come off them,

it's going to create some symptoms, just like coming off coffee or coming off alcohol.

And what happens is there's a neurotransmitter in your brain called dopamine.

And when you have a dopamine deficiency, that's when you're going to start feeling these

weird symptoms right here, and one big one is headaches.

So there's two things that I'm going to recommend.

Number one, slowly start increasing a little bit more carp, okay?

Maybe like five grams at a time, until these symptoms go away, because a lot of people

really suffer, not just with headaches, but they just feel really funky.

And number two, you can take something called phenylalanine, which is a natural amino acid,

which will then help build up more dopamine in the system.

So then there'll be less of these withdrawal symptoms, okay?
