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 male version of PCOS, what is PCOS, stands for polycystic ovarian

syndrome. PCOS is a condition in females where you have these follicular cysts like things

growing on the ovary, and there is an excess amount of allergens being produced. And these

allergens create facial hair, loss of hair on top of your head, weight gain, deeper voice,

and a very stubborn metabolism. Now PCOS is driven largely by chronically elevated

insulin. This is called hyperinsulinemia, too much insulin in your blood. Now what causes

that? Too many carbs. This is why the ketogenic diet is essential for PCOS. But in a male, if

we're going to talk about the equivalent of PCOS in a man, we're going to get three symptoms.

One is androgenic alopecia. This is male pattern baldness. Number two, erect out this

function. Why? Because insulin destroys circulation in the vascular system. And the last

one is benign prostatic hypertrophy. Your prostate is getting too big. And that is because

insulin is a growth promoting factor. It makes things get bigger. So if you have any

one of these and we'll call them symptoms, you know you have too much insulin. And the

most important test that doctors never do is a fasting insulin test. And there's another

one called home IR, which measures as a part of that fasting insulin. So if you have

valve pattern baldness, erect out this function or an enlarged prostate, definitely get the

blood test, home IR, or even a fasting insulin test. And in the meantime, if you want to see

some amazing improvements, I would recommend doing the healthy version of the ketogenic

diet as well as in the fasting. If you're new to my channel, I put a link down below

exactly how to do it.
