| 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 this is a question that came up recently. Why are my |
| 0:47.5 | triglycerides high when I'm doing keto? Now normally they should be low. So if they're high, there's several reasons for this. |
| 0:56.0 | Now a couple things you need to know. Your fat is a storage place for triglycerides and when you do keto, guess what happens? They're |
| 1:05.4 | immobilized, they come out of the fat cell, they're there to be used as energy. |
| 1:10.0 | And by the way, you also have cholesterol stored in the fat cell as well and that has to come out too. |
| 1:16.0 | So before I kind of get into the nitty gritty of this video, there's some real basic things you need to know. |
| 1:24.3 | Unfortunately, certain doctors are no longer recommending fasting |
| 1:30.9 | before you get your cholesterol tested or your triglyceride levels tested. |
| 1:36.3 | So if you just consume a bunch of fat and you go get a test, I mean, you may have high triglycerides just from that. |
| 1:45.0 | So I would recommend fasting 12 to 14 hours before you get a test. |
| 1:52.4 | Very, very important. And I'm talking about when you fast not eating anything |
| 1:58.8 | except just drinking water. That includes not drinking coffee because sometimes when you drink too much coffee it can stimulate the release of triglycerides and create higher triglycerides temporarily. |
| 2:11.0 | Especially if you're drinking bulletproof coffee as well with the MCT oil. |
| 2:15.4 | So these are just things that you need to look at. |
| 2:18.5 | Now the other thing I want to point out is that if you consumed alcohol two days before the test or you went off |
| 2:27.0 | kido and you consumed a lot of carbs two days before the test that can also show up as higher triglycerides so I just want to bring |
| 2:35.8 | that up now a hypothyroid condition could also cause you to have high triglycerides |
| 2:41.2 | because it's slowing down your metabolism. |
| 2:44.0 | Having a problem with your gallbladder could also give you high triglycerides. |
