| 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. |

| 0:29.0 | 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. Hey Dr. Berg here, I'm sitting in my massage table here about ready to do a little |
| 0:50.1 | instruct on this subject called pH. I want to explain exactly what it is, all |
| 0:57.7 | the myths. There's so much misinformation on the alkaline acid levels like everyone is too acid and all diseases |
| 1:06.4 | come from being too acid and you need to alkalizer die. Let's get into the |
| 1:12.0 | truth of what pH is and the simplicity of how to understand it. |

| 1:57.0 | And the thing to know is that when you go from a seven to an eight, |
| 2:02.0 | it's by a power of a 100. |
| 2:05.0 | So it's very, very, it's not just going up at one number, it's like magnified by 100. |
| 2:12.0 | For example, the reference point that we use for pH is in the blood. |
| 2:17.0 | In other words, the body will do whatever akin to keep the blood at a certain constant level. |
