In this podcast, Dr. Berg answers the question, "Should you do keto if you have hypoglycemia?" Low blood sugar comes from high blood sugar and the spike of insulin pushing it down – hypoglycemia is high insulin.
Don’t we need sugar to balance it?
• The actual cause of hypoglycemia is high insulin so by adding more sugar to balance it, it raises more insulin.
Insulin resistance is also caused by too much insulin. When you have insulin resistance, the body is making 7x the amount of insulin that you need compared to a normal person.
How to keep insulin normal?
• Keep sugars low.
• Don’t do frequent meals.
• Consume Magnesium + Potassium + Vitamin B1 (nutritional yeast)

| 0:00.0 | So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting, |
| 0:04.4 | whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product. |
| 0:10.5 | Call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 5405.7. |
| 0:29.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So the question is should you do keto if you have hypoglycemia? |
| 0:50.0 | Take a look at this. |
| 0:52.0 | Low blood sugar comes from high blood sugar |
| 0:57.0 | and the spike of insulin pushing it down. |
| 1:02.0 | So in reality, hypoglycemia is high insulin because it's |
| 1:09.2 | actively pushing you down into a lowered state. |
| 1:12.6 | The next question is, well, don't we need sugar |
| 1:15.1 | to balance it, to bring it back up? |
| 1:18.4 | Well, the problem is, the actual cause of hypoglycemia is high insulin. |
| 1:24.1 | By adding more sugar to balance it, we raise more insulin, to lower it. |

| 1:34.6 | diabetes all the time, especially type 2, and also in type 1 as well, is caused |
| 1:42.2 | by too much insulin or chronic exposure to insulin as well. |
| 1:45.0 | But when you have insulin resistance, which so many people do, |
| 1:48.0 | your body is actually making seven times the amount of insulin that you need than a normal person. |
| 1:56.1 | So it's not just about you eating candy, but your body is actually making it by itself without eating any carbohydrates. |
| 2:05.2 | You're just making tons of insulin, creating more insulin resistance, and that high |
| 2:10.0 | level of insulin is just going to drive it down and cause the hypoglycemia in certain people. |
