| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr. |
| 0:07.7 | Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:22.3 | We're going to talk about steroid trucks. They're a double-edged sword. And I'm talking about |
| 0:27.4 | the cortical steroids. I'm not talking about antigens or testosterone. Now this drug is used mainly |
| 0:34.2 | for anything connected with inflammation, like rheumatoid type conditions, rheumatoid arthritis, |
| 0:41.5 | lupus, vasculitis. That's inflammation of your vascular system, asthma, hay fever, allergies, |
| 0:48.7 | hives, psoriasis, COPD. That's a chronic lung problem, IBD. That's irritable bowel disease, |
| 0:57.1 | MS, and all the other autoimmune conditions. Here's the problem. When I was in my 20s, |
| 1:03.8 | I think it was like 25. I got poisoned. I got really bad. And I took steroids. Every year after |
| 1:12.8 | that, probably for 15 years, I had to get a series of steroid injections to handle this darn |
| 1:19.8 | poison ivy that I would keep getting every single year in the fall. But as the years progressed, |

| 1:37.8 | live with it, and wait for this poison ivy to go away. And so my allergy to poison ivy has |
| 1:42.1 | gotten pretty bad. Where if I touch my eye, it just swells up. So if you do some searches on YouTube, |
| 1:47.7 | you might find me doing a video with these dark glasses because I'm trying to cover up this |
| 1:52.3 | severe poison ivy reaction that actually went into my eye. So it's pretty, pretty major |
| 1:58.4 | allergy. But the steroids that I took really messed me up with my sleep cycles and my immune system. |
| 2:06.0 | But the two big effects that this steroid cortisol has on our body are number one, |
| 2:13.2 | suppression of the entire immune system. Now that's your army to follow pathogens. So it's very, |
| 2:21.5 | very dangerous to suppress your entire immune system. And the second effect is to suppress |
| 2:28.9 | inflammation. Another dangerous thing, especially in the healing process. So steroids |
