| 0:10.6 | call one of our keto consultants. They'll be able to help you. Call 540-299-1557. That's 540-299-1557. |
| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast. Now your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level. Dr. Eric Berg. |
| 0:35.9 | All right. So some of you, when you're doing keto and in an intermittent fasting, you are having |
| 0:41.3 | problem with sleeping at night. Also, what you're telling me is that during the day, |
| 0:46.3 | you have all this energy. You're just not tired anymore. And that's simply because in the |
| 0:50.7 | transition phase, it's called keto adaptation, you're switching over to fat burning. |
| 0:55.9 | And fat has more than double the potential energy storage mechanism, more than double. |

| 1:22.1 | could sleep is consuming a pint of Ben and Jerry's ice cream. And that would put me out like a sugar, |
| 1:28.2 | and that's why when you have blood sugar problems, you want to take a nap after you eat, right? |
| 1:33.0 | So it's just the opposite. Now you can't sleep. So just realize it's going to be temporary. |
| 1:39.6 | And what you can do to resolve it is there's just three things. One is to start adding more minerals, especially potassium. |
| 1:47.0 | The next one is a lot more B vitamins, okay? |
| 1:49.4 | Because B vitamins directly relate to the metabolism in the mitochondria, and that's going |
| 1:56.0 | to actually help you make this transition faster. |
| 2:00.2 | And I would do nutritional yeast, you can give in tablets, |
| 2:03.6 | but just double the amount and have more of that. That will greatly help you. And then the last thing |
