Thank you, doctor. I read eggshell powder was a great source of calcium as well. It's also very rich of collagen that comes from the membrane of the shell. That is very good for the cartilage on your joints.
For my gender and age, my daily calcium requirement is 1000 mg. I normally eat 1lb of 73/27 ground beef 100mg of calcium, 1 can of sardines 800mg of calcium, and 8 eggs 320mg of calcium. This puts me well over my requirement and I eat zero plants and nearly zero carbs (each egg has less than a gram of carbs).

Hi Dr Berry, I have clinically diagnosed ALS or in Australia motor neurone disease. After a lot of research including mostly your advice, I started my new diet of mostly C grade mice, sausages,lots of fish oil , ketone booster and k2 7. (We can only find k2 7 not k2 4). I also didn’t change any medication or stop smoking, I didn’t want to shock the body. The change in 2 and a half weeks has been remarkable. I am rebuilding the lost muscle fast. I hope one day to thank you in person for the gift you have given us 🇦🇺❤️. It’s early days yet but I feel and look like I’ve wound the clock back 6months already. Thanks again and forever grateful.
@@JYAN2852 it could be, to be honest I don’t really know why it’s working so far. It was mostly what have I got to loose. I had less than 2 years at most left at the decline I was having. It is mostly a guess you could say, I’m no doctor 😀
Well, This is the video I am on so I'll post it here. My wife has been low carb for a week, she has HepC. She just got out of the Dr and he said " your levels are dropping "naturally".

We recently made bone broth from deer bones. If you know a hunter, request that they save the bones for you. Important, ask that they keep the bones cold or frozen until you get them. We first broke the bone to expose the marrow, then baked the bone for about 3 hrs. We then transferred the bones to a large electric roaster, covers with water and brought the water to a simmer for 24 hrs. With about 3 hrs left on the clock we added carrots, onion and garlic. Made the richest, darkest, most wonderful tasting broth I’ve ever had. Long process but worth it. Thanks Dr. Ken for all your informative videos!!
Ruminant bones are too strong to release much calcium even after days of cooking. I've seen the data from experimentation. Chicken and fish bones are softer and will release more minerals into the water. If you can find a reliable source of bone meal (ground bones), that's really the only way you get a good amount of calcium from ruminant bones. The main reason I use bone/meat/connective tissue broths are for their collagen content. 50% of your bones is collagen anyway so enough protein is one of the keys to healthy bones. Edit: I see Dr Berry talked about it taking days to disintegrate the bones enough, which is good, but I think it can take a long time and by that time there are probably too many histamines in the broth for many peeps...
@@monroemusicnz Totally agree. Bone quality comprises of both rigidity (mineralization) and strength (protein matrix). We actually don't need that much calcium intake because more than 95% of filtered calcium is reabsorbed by the kidney. The current RDA is way off:( www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3894479/#:~:text=More%20than%2095%25%20of%20filtered,1%20(claudin%2D16).
What about oxalates in dark greens, especially if they taste bitter. It is one of the plant's natural defences against predation. Some experts say that oxalates in vegetables tie up several important minerals in the human gut especially calcium and magnesium which are insoluble.
Bone broth tips: vinegar is a must but the one that that changed our bone broth is using a real pressure cooker not the ones that are like instant pot or crock pot etc. those do not generate enough pressure and take longer to cook. When we cooked our bone broth in an instant pot we would cook it for the max time which is 120 mins. When we made it with instant pot it comes out like water after it is cooled. With a real pressure cooker 15 or 20 mins and you get much better results. When you make it with an old fashioned pressure cooker and after it is cooled, it comes out like gelatin.
I’ve been doing bone broth in the crock pot. But, I put it on high after adding the bones, onion, carrot, celery, parsley, water, salt and pepper is to place it on high then reduce to low when I go to bed. I leave it go all the next day also. When cooled it’s always like gelatin. Delicious.
I eat egg shells and softened chicken bones. Free calcium. I only buy canned sardines/herring/salmon in water. The ones in oil are already oxadized, including EVOO
@@JYAN2852 Please how do you prepare and how much daily do you take. I'd really appreciate your help. The above commentator says to disinfect them first but would that be safe to ingest? Thanks
@@saints82 Cleaning egg shells is a must mainly due to possible salmonella that's all. What I usually do is I rinse them only then I microwave the shells for about 45s-1m. Microwaving kills any bacteria so. I then munch on small pieces chewing it to a fine powder before taking a bite of the eggs to wash it down with. You could also boil the eggs/shells before pulverizing or consuming which will do the same.
@@saints82 I eat 1-2 whole shells but no more than thst at 1 sitting even if I eat more than 2 eggs. The shells are calcium carbonate so it's only 40% calcium. The intestines can only absorb so much anyway the remaining calcium will pass through and go out with the stool
To be fair i don't think that leafs greens are a very good source my friend . They sure are a source and contain a fair bit on paper . But they also usually contain oxalates that inhibit absorption .
@@kirstyphillips7876 High quality cheese is a very good source . Make sure to get enough D3 and vitamin K2 MK4 as well to be able to absorb and use the calcium . Regards :) .
Is it just me that thinks that the minerals in leafy greens are caught up in the fibre / fiber and most won't be absorbed ?? I think I'll stick with sardines which I've always liked, and full fat dairy products. I also love tahini. Thanks Doc for the video.
Having too much calcium in your body from either not absorbing it correctly or getting too much of it can also cause calcium deposits in your breasts and then you get a mammogram and right away they think you need a biopsy, which then disfigures your breast and of course then they discover it is benign because it was just a calcium deposit. I agree, get it in food. I use kefir a lot, and cheese, but I think I have issues with my skin because of dairy, so I am going to have to try harder to make myself try sardines, or make more stuff like salmon patties.
It's interesting that I just read an article about Mega doses of calcium in a person's diet. I was shocked to find out that if there is way too much calcium, the body will not be able to absorb it correctly and it will end up being deposited in very bad places. For years, I ate very large doses of calcium rich foods in Dairy form and I ended up having extra calcium deposits underneath my gums that are called Tori, I believe and they would push out of the skin until I could scratch them with my fingernail and pieces of calcium would just come off. If that was happening, then I can only imagine how it was affecting every part of my body including how my thyroid worked and my nervous system was misbehaving. Thank you for the straightforward and easy to follow information. You could really save someone from a heart attack. Sincerely, Carly
@@migueljordan100 Thank you for answering me. When I showed them to dentists and asked them how they got there, they always said they had no idea. Sincerely, Carly
@@simplyme7821 no problem 👍😊❤️ glad to help. Take a good brand and make sure that it's K2 MQ7 easy to find. Look up a few brands on the net and also you will find a whole lot of information about it. It's great I'm combination with vitamin D3. k2 can be found in dairy like cheese and high doses in Natto Natural Vitamin K2 food sources include butter and whole milk from grass-fed cows, egg yolks, liver and bacterially fermented foods like mature cheeses and curd, and the traditional Japanese dish “natto,” which is made of fermented soybeans. Small amounts is found in egg yolk and meat
Small intestines can only absorb a small amount of calcium at any givem time. So it's true that if you take too much in supp form most will just pass through you. Regarding soft tissue calcification, in the absence of vitamin D3 and K2 that will happen. A calcium deficiency will also result in the same scenario. Body regulates calcium very heavily so when serum calcium is low, the parathyroid hormones will actually leach (osteoclast) calcium from the bones (osteroperosis in the long run).
@@JYAN2852 This was all new to me. I just noticed all the changes to my body and the amount of fatigue and weakness that I had last year. I started taking a vitamin D3 and K2 combination melt about nine months ago and that's when I noticed the calcifications under my gums receded. I have no doubt that I am malnourished but, sometimes in life you have to do what you have to do. As I can't seem to stop saying, my husband went in the kitchen last year on his birthday and I found him on his knees and I laid him down and he looked into my eyes and he mouthed,I love... and he died with my hands on his heart. I went into the smallest room of my house because no friends or family came and all I could afford was bread and butter so, I survived on that and prayer. With the prices of groceries going up so quickly and the loss of $3,300 of income a month, I'm doing the best I can just to keep the roof over my head. It is amazing how much the body will adjust to all the things we put it through. I lost a lot of weight and muscle. But, that's what I have been working on building back up. Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I pretty much live in constant pain and a whole myriad of bizarre effects. Nobody truly knows yet what this is about but, I often hear myself blurt out from my subconscious, I have a broken central nervous system. It affects my eyes and my hearing and I have burning sensations on my skin and only enough energy to do what I have to in 3 to 5 hours a day. Then, I have to go lay in a cool dark place with no electricity running in the room for hours. I have read many papers including from the Mayo Clinic and other professionals and I have to say they are off the mark on this. I know this is too much information but, I haven't gotten used to not having my friend to talk to for a dozen hours a day. I married a genius and I miss that so much. Thank you for listening. Sincerely, Carly
i make in, from a small bottle to 1 liter, fermented milk with lactobacilus casei shirota. i dont know if it had much carbs because i dont know how much lactose the lactobacilus ate.
I have my own chickens. They are pretty close to organic and fed non gmo food. Could I bake and powder the shells for a calcium source? How would I calculate how my calcium they contain?
I do not get bloat if I remove oxlates and nightshades. I thought because of age, I should have more calcium so I had kale quite often. I got lump of calcium on each little finger. Now, I do nothing special except I added timed-release di-magnesium malate. I get enough calcium in food, as you say. No sardines, for me either. I take DHA for my fish oil. I don’t know that I need EPA. It seems like too much. I use organic light virgin olive oil, or ghee or grass-fed butter. ..butter is 3.4 mg per Tablespoon. I have a big salad when I can get fresh ingredients.
Stay away from any grain fed meat, the omega 3-6 ratio is way out of balance, too much 6, this is the result of animals eating corn. Corn is very toxic to begin with, contains 26 different mycotoxins AND 2 of them are carcinogenic ! Corn is the #1 largest grown grain in the world, that's why it's in everything, because it's cheap and can be mass produced. Soy beans are #2. Gotta read labels. Namaste
I am more paleo nowadays, i've been doing a tbsp of blackstrap molasses everyday, it has some calicum, a lot of potassium and some magnesium. If it didn't have the carbs i'm sure people would be using it en masse.
Dr Berry, after full Thyroidectomy I am on calcium supplements. Started at 600mg, then 1200, then 1800 and still way low. How much calcium is considered megadose? I heard our body really only absorbs 600mg at a time. Anything to help?

Hi Dr Berry, I'm slowly transitioning into ketovore diet for months now and just found out that my calcium is too high both in blood and in a 24hr urine test. I have a small kidney stone on my right kidney. I dont know what to do now. 😢 please help. Thanks
Guess you have heard this crap a million times......I am 73. Since i was under 10 we were told NO sat fat. As a result my Mom (dec.) took Tums every day for probably 30 years. I have always tried to eat/drink calcium rich dairy. 2% milk, oh how much have I used in 40 years? Am doing Keto, 3 months so far, down 20 lb. Bet I have watched 100 of your videos. I even convinced the husband to watch the mac. degen. one and believe it or not he is eating a cup of raw spinach a day. Many thanks to you Doc!
my calcium is too high, without supplementing. I came to your videos to see what i could find but have not found anything about too high of calcium in the body. My Dr has referred me to endocrinology. Any advice about when calcium in the body is too high?
Oxalates Oxalates Oxalates I see a lot of comments about oxalates that haven't directly been addressed in any Dr. Berry videos. Many of these foods are supposed to be "good" for Keto but seeing more concern by fans. Please address or link where you've done so previously.
There is one video he did where he touched very briefly on oxalates but not nearly enough. I'm assuming because he hasn't studied it. If you don't know about them do a search for Sally k Norton on RUclips and you'll come up with a bunch of interviews she's done about oxalates. Very interesting stuff and a lot of people getting better after lowering their oxalates.
Hi Dr Berry, my 33 year old daughter in law was just told she has high blood pressure and high cholesterol, she is slim and petite, what kind of diet should she follow?
Dr Berry said at his previous youtube, you should get enough sunlight everyday and eat greeny leaves to get magnesium. Those are the way to cure high blood presure. High cholesterol is fine. You don't need to lower it. That is also what Dr Berry and many cardiologists say.
Regarding plant-sourced calcium: what about the anti-nutrients (e.g. phytates and oxalates) that bind to or block absorption? Any concerns about the countless phytotoxins found in plants? Is grass-fed bovine bone meal a good source of the full suite of bone minerals including calcium, phosphorus, boron, magnesium, potassium, sodium etc.?
Excellent question, which I asked as well in a less well formed way. Never heard Dr Berry's opinion on oxalates and other plant defencive chemicals in any of his videos I've viewed so far and I'd like him to respond.
*Come on, Dr. Berry, admit it* - you either saw me commenting about this recently, or one of your carnivore youtuber friends told you someone was commenting about that (probably me), so that's what led to you wanting to do this video. :) And that's exactly one of the big questions I've had lately, how on earth carnivores can get enough calcium. Okay so you've covered calcium - but that still leaves *potassium and magnesium.* And on a side note, I heard in one video that we don't really need 1,000 - 1,500 mg a day of calcium, and that some people do fine with about 400, or something like that. I don't know. FYI folks - I use whole fat organic mozzarella sticks for it. Was also eating sardines for a little while after many years avoiding fish, but after only a short time can't stand them anymore for some reason.
Could you please explain the diet break/ refeed? Some people say we need it for metabolic adaptation. I’ve been on carnivore for 4 months . I only lost 8 pounds . I do OMAD as well. I’m stalled and not losing a pound. By the way I watched your video on why not losing weight on Carnivore . Any suggestions ?
I stalled too after a few months. Don't know of it'll work for you, but what I did was to adjust the fat/Protein ratio...more fat but kept protein about the same. Resumed weight loss within the week. Good luck.
@@annbrown3037 I eat 3-4 pound of lamb and 4 eggs daily. Sometimes I eat organ meat as well. Some days also I eat 1 to 2 pounds of steak with butter. I do OMAD daily too. How do I adjust the protein/ ratio in my case?😣thanks for your help
@@puertoricolife2893 well, that's a lot of meat to begin with. From all the info I've managed to find, a good guide for daily protein intake - dependant on activity (high performing athletes will need a lot more than me for example) and age + gender - sits around 1.5 - 2.0 gm protein per kilo ideal body weight. Personally I find it difficult to get in more than 2.0gm although huge body builders like Dr Baker gets throigh something like 5lbs + per day. On the basis that 4oz of lean beef contains about 30gm protein -slight differences for other meats - you may be able to lower your protein and up your fats to achieve different results. Full fat dairy is a good way to do this if you can tolerate them. Frying everything in butter is my fave way but also put good chunks of butter on everything. And in my coffee. We are all different physiologically and have different aims/goals. What I can say though - in the absence of carbs - more fat = more weight loss.
@@Janeoffools OK, thanks. I showed my kitty the video. He was not interested. I will eat sardines with bones tomorrow in his presence. Let's see if he will follow my example.
This is absolutely crazy (Not you Dr Berry). I've just stated Carnivore and all that you've said here with dairy doesn't apply to get calcium. Also I have previously been eating dark leafy greens for many years and feel I have high amounts of oxalates in my system, that could potentially cause a lot of health problems on carnivore. I'm confused on what is best.
Not trying to call you out...just that you mentioned that Kale isn't all that is touted(ie, not a 'super food'). Are you saying that the one thing it has going for it is calcium?
I'm confused, in another of your old videos you said calcium supplements are bad . In this one you said it's good ? Can you please clear up my confusion?
Calcium supplements are dangerous because are prescribed for people wih weak bones... But the main issue in not the deficiency of calcium, it is the vitamin k2 that delivers calcium from the blood to the bone, and the thus this passion that may be already getting enough calcium from their diet but low k2, end up having kidney stones, and clogged arteries with that access calcium in the blood, if they just ate more greens and salad 🥗 to get k2 they will not have to take calcium as a supplement at all. I hope that was helpful.
Most plants contain calcium depending on the soil where it's grown on. For parsely it's minimal I think bc it's an herb. You can google for nutritional facts
Hello, Dr. Berry. As one who suffered a kidney stone while supplementing calcium (and not drinking adequate water if I'm honest), I would like to know your opinion on Calcium, kidney stones, and dehydration. How much of a kidney stone is caused by dehydration vs. over-calcification? And on the subject of stones (kidney and gall) and their prevention, have you heard of chanca piedra, and do you have an opinion on it?
This is off topic but, I need some advice. I stopped consuming probiotics foods or anything fermented because of the crazy brain fog I get the next day. I’m pretty sure I have sibo but have not been tested. Does anyone else get brain fog with specific food?
sardines with the bones in salmon with the bones in full fat dairy full fat cheese full fat yogurt full fat kefir nuts and seeds herbs and spices dark leafy greens kale broccoli watercress collard greens turnip greens bone broth calcium is much better absorbed if it's blended with a protein source in the meal
I think this is a bit dated. There are no more sources of "bones in" canned fish. All I see in every grocery store are sardines without bones. The same for other types of canned fish.
Too much calcium supplement without D3 and K2 will cause calcium to deposit in soft tissues and arteries. But not enough calium will do the same as the parathyroid hormones will leach calcium from the bones to replenish the body's caclium needs (osteoperosis). We constantly pee and sweat out minerals, including calcium, thus why we need to intake it daily from most bioavailable sources

Having too much calcium in your body from either not absorbing it correctly or getting too much of it can also cause calcium deposits in your breasts and then you get a mammogram and right away they think you need a biopsy, which then disfigures your breast and of course then they discover it is benign because it was just a calcium deposit. I agree, get it in food. I use kefir a lot, and cheese, but I think I have issues with my skin because of dairy, so I am going to have to try harder to make myself try sardines, or make more stuff like salmon patties.
It's interesting that I just read an article about Mega doses of calcium in a person's diet. I was shocked to find out that if there is way too much calcium, the body will not be able to absorb it correctly and it will end up being deposited in very bad places. For years, I ate very large doses of calcium rich foods in Dairy form and I ended up having extra calcium deposits underneath my gums that are called Tori, I believe and they would push out of the skin until I could scratch them with my fingernail and pieces of calcium would just come off. If that was happening, then I can only imagine how it was affecting every part of my body including how my thyroid worked and my nervous system was misbehaving. Thank you for the straightforward and easy to follow information. You could really save someone from a heart attack. Sincerely, Carly
K2 will help bring that calcium to the correct places.
@@migueljordan100 Thank you for answering me. When I showed them to dentists and asked them how they got there, they always said they had no idea. Sincerely, Carly
@@simplyme7821 no problem 👍😊❤️ glad to help. Take a good brand and make sure that it's K2 MQ7 easy to find. Look up a few brands on the net and also you will find a whole lot of information about it. It's great I'm combination with vitamin D3. k2 can be found in dairy like cheese and high doses in Natto Natural Vitamin K2 food sources include butter and whole milk from grass-fed cows, egg yolks, liver and bacterially fermented foods like mature cheeses and curd, and the traditional Japanese dish “natto,” which is made of fermented soybeans. Small amounts is found in egg yolk and meat
Small intestines can only absorb a small amount of calcium at any givem time. So it's true that if you take too much in supp form most will just pass through you.
Regarding soft tissue calcification, in the absence of vitamin D3 and K2 that will happen. A calcium deficiency will also result in the same scenario. Body regulates calcium very heavily so when serum calcium is low, the parathyroid hormones will actually leach (osteoclast) calcium from the bones (osteroperosis in the long run).
@@JYAN2852 This was all new to me. I just noticed all the changes to my body and the amount of fatigue and weakness that I had last year. I started taking a vitamin D3 and K2 combination melt about nine months ago and that's when I noticed the calcifications under my gums receded. I have no doubt that I am malnourished but, sometimes in life you have to do what you have to do. As I can't seem to stop saying, my husband went in the kitchen last year on his birthday and I found him on his knees and I laid him down and he looked into my eyes and he mouthed,I love... and he died with my hands on his heart. I went into the smallest room of my house because no friends or family came and all I could afford was bread and butter so, I survived on that and prayer. With the prices of groceries going up so quickly and the loss of $3,300 of income a month, I'm doing the best I can just to keep the roof over my head. It is amazing how much the body will adjust to all the things we put it through. I lost a lot of weight and muscle. But, that's what I have been working on building back up. Eight years ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I pretty much live in constant pain and a whole myriad of bizarre effects. Nobody truly knows yet what this is about but, I often hear myself blurt out from my subconscious, I have a broken central nervous system. It affects my eyes and my hearing and I have burning sensations on my skin and only enough energy to do what I have to in 3 to 5 hours a day. Then, I have to go lay in a cool dark place with no electricity running in the room for hours. I have read many papers including from the Mayo Clinic and other professionals and I have to say they are off the mark on this. I know this is too much information but, I haven't gotten used to not having my friend to talk to for a dozen hours a day. I married a genius and I miss that so much. Thank you for listening. Sincerely, Carly
i make in, from a small bottle to 1 liter, fermented milk with lactobacilus casei shirota. i dont know if it had much carbs because i dont know how much lactose the lactobacilus ate.
I have my own chickens. They are pretty close to organic and fed non gmo food. Could I bake and powder the shells for a calcium source? How would I calculate how my calcium they contain?
is eggshell a good source?
I do not get bloat if I remove oxlates and nightshades.
I thought because of age, I should have more calcium so I had kale quite often.
I got lump of calcium on each little finger.
Now, I do nothing special except I added timed-release di-magnesium malate.
I get enough calcium in food, as you say. No sardines, for me either. I take DHA for my fish oil.
I don’t know that I need EPA.
It seems like too much.
I use organic light virgin olive oil, or ghee or grass-fed butter.
..butter is 3.4 mg per Tablespoon.
I have a big salad when I can get fresh ingredients.
Canned sardines twice a week. It could balance the omega 3:6 ratio too if we eat grain fed beef, pork and chicken.
Stay away from any grain fed meat, the omega 3-6 ratio is way out of balance, too much 6, this is the result of animals eating corn. Corn is very toxic to begin with, contains 26 different mycotoxins AND 2 of them are carcinogenic ! Corn is the #1 largest grown grain in the world, that's why it's in everything, because it's cheap and can be mass produced. Soy beans are #2. Gotta read labels. Namaste
Thank you.100+lbs down
Are you on carnivore ?
Where did you loose the 100?😱. What, they just vanished? Incredible 😲
Omgoodness that is so awesome congratulations
Congrats 🎊
Fabulous, Roz. Good job.
Good Morning 👋❤️💙💜👍
I am more paleo nowadays, i've been doing a tbsp of blackstrap molasses everyday, it has some calicum, a lot of potassium and some magnesium. If it didn't have the carbs i'm sure people would be using it en masse.
Dr Berry, after full Thyroidectomy I am on calcium supplements. Started at 600mg, then 1200, then 1800 and still way low. How much calcium is considered megadose? I heard our body really only absorbs 600mg at a time. Anything to help?
What's your advice for someone to have their nutritional needs met when they're not a big eater?
Liver and egg yolks are nature's multivitamin, except for calcium and a couple of minerals, you get a lot from just 100g of beef liver.
Liver, eggs (pasture raised), and supplement with Youngevity plant derived minerals. 60 essential minerals that are impossible to get even in liver and eggs
An excellent source of calcium is natural mineral water!
There's are some good bone broths (very slow cooked bones,) available.
Hi Dr Berry, I'm slowly transitioning into ketovore diet for months now and just found out that my calcium is too high both in blood and in a 24hr urine test. I have a small kidney stone on my right kidney. I dont know what to do now. 😢 please help. Thanks
Prunes has 75mg of calcium 5-6 prunes. Unfortunately really high in carbs. But great for bones. 😢
Guess you have heard this crap a million times......I am 73. Since i was under 10 we were told NO sat fat. As a result my Mom (dec.) took Tums every day for probably 30 years. I have always tried to eat/drink calcium rich dairy. 2% milk, oh how much have I used in 40 years? Am doing Keto, 3 months so far, down 20 lb. Bet I have watched 100 of your videos. I even convinced the husband to watch the mac. degen. one and believe it or not he is eating a cup of raw spinach a day. Many thanks to you Doc!
my calcium is too high, without supplementing. I came to your videos to see what i could find but have not found anything about too high of calcium in the body. My Dr has referred me to endocrinology. Any advice about when calcium in the body is too high?
Grounded egg shells from good quality ekological eggs?
Is mackrell good calcium?
Oxalates Oxalates Oxalates
I see a lot of comments about oxalates that haven't directly been addressed in any Dr. Berry videos. Many of these foods are supposed to be "good" for Keto but seeing more concern by fans. Please address or link where you've done so previously.
There is one video he did where he touched very briefly on oxalates but not nearly enough. I'm assuming because he hasn't studied it. If you don't know about them do a search for Sally k Norton on RUclips and you'll come up with a bunch of interviews she's done about oxalates. Very interesting stuff and a lot of people getting better after lowering their oxalates.
Does calcium inhibit the absorption of iron? Somewhere I've read about it.
Dr. Berrry, would grinding up organic egg shells be a good source of calcium ? And if so, how much daily ?
get about 800mg of calcium from
2 grams of dried eggshells
@@julianschweitzer5492 Thank you, in terms of mearurement, would that be somewhere around 1/8 to 1/4 of a teaspoon ?
Hi Dr Berry, my 33 year old daughter in law was just told she has high blood pressure and high cholesterol, she is slim and petite, what kind of diet should she follow?
Dr Berry said at his previous youtube, you should get enough sunlight everyday and eat greeny leaves to get magnesium. Those are the way to cure high blood presure.
High cholesterol is fine. You don't need to lower it. That is also what Dr Berry and many cardiologists say.
I have to avoid dairy, due to Hashimoto's.
Any absorption help?
Animal sources.
Is tripe soup ok to eat
Regarding plant-sourced calcium: what about the anti-nutrients (e.g. phytates and oxalates) that bind to or block absorption? Any concerns about the countless phytotoxins found in plants? Is grass-fed bovine bone meal a good source of the full suite of bone minerals including calcium, phosphorus, boron, magnesium, potassium, sodium etc.?
Excellent question, which I asked as well in a less well formed way. Never heard Dr Berry's opinion on oxalates and other plant defencive chemicals in any of his videos I've viewed so far and I'd like him to respond.
What about Polk salad doc?
Any advice for hypercalcemia?
See your doctor
No spinach, kale and other high oxalate vegetables.
*Come on, Dr. Berry, admit it* - you either saw me commenting about this recently, or one of your carnivore youtuber friends told you someone was commenting about that (probably me), so that's what led to you wanting to do this video. :) And that's exactly one of the big questions I've had lately, how on earth carnivores can get enough calcium. Okay so you've covered calcium - but that still leaves *potassium and magnesium.* And on a side note, I heard in one video that we don't really need 1,000 - 1,500 mg a day of calcium, and that some people do fine with about 400, or something like that. I don't know. FYI folks - I use whole fat organic mozzarella sticks for it. Was also eating sardines for a little while after many years avoiding fish, but after only a short time can't stand them anymore for some reason.
Sardines are the only thing I would eat as far as calcium.
Nope I can only gag on sardines...but i do love salmon...but no bones! I enjoy the full fat dairy n nuts....i also take D3K2..
I'm salt sensitive, so sardines have a ton of sodium unfortunately.
@@bluejean-1968 fresh sardines. 😁
Could you please explain the diet break/ refeed? Some people say we need it for metabolic adaptation. I’ve been on carnivore for 4 months . I only lost 8 pounds . I do OMAD as well. I’m stalled and not losing a pound. By the way I watched your video on why not losing weight on Carnivore . Any suggestions ?
I stalled too after a few months. Don't know of it'll work for you, but what I did was to adjust the fat/Protein ratio...more fat but kept protein about the same.
Resumed weight loss within the week. Good luck.
@@annbrown3037 I eat 3-4 pound of lamb and 4 eggs daily. Sometimes I eat organ meat as well. Some days also I eat 1 to 2 pounds of steak with butter. I do OMAD daily too. How do I adjust the protein/ ratio in my case?😣thanks for your help
@@puertoricolife2893 well, that's a lot of meat to begin with.
From all the info I've managed to find, a good guide for daily protein intake - dependant on activity (high performing athletes will need a lot more than me for example) and age + gender - sits around 1.5 - 2.0 gm protein per kilo ideal body weight.
Personally I find it difficult to get in more than 2.0gm although huge body builders like Dr Baker gets throigh something like 5lbs + per day.
On the basis that 4oz of lean beef contains about 30gm protein -slight differences for other meats - you may be able to lower your protein and up your fats to achieve different results.
Full fat dairy is a good way to do this if you can tolerate them. Frying everything in butter is my fave way but also put good chunks of butter on everything. And in my coffee.
We are all different physiologically and have different aims/goals.
What I can say though - in the absence of carbs - more fat = more weight loss.
@@annbrown3037 great info 👍🏻thanks for helping
I did too put i mark my weight for 7 days 🤸🏽♂️🔣
eggshells i thought would be number one...
Very good information. My cat eats canned sardines and salmon, but he does not eat the bones. How can I convince him to eat the bones?
Show him the video
You just gotta sit down with him and tell him it would make mommy and/or daddy very happy , if not ? NO MORE CATNIP ! Namaste
@@Janeoffools OK, thanks. I showed my kitty the video. He was not interested. I will eat sardines with bones tomorrow in his presence. Let's see if he will follow my example.
I was just about to buy Calcium D-Glucarate. Can I get this from my food please- enough to dump my extra estrogen?
Eat Ray Peat's carrot salad to dump extra estrogen.
I'd like to know what you think of Chia seeds, which has plenty of calcium.....
Chia seeds cause inflammation
@@julianschweitzer5492😂
I ate four cans' worth of sardines with bones (cartilage) in them for breakfast. Probably too much calcium to be an everyday thing.
This is absolutely crazy (Not you Dr Berry). I've just stated Carnivore and all that you've said here with dairy doesn't apply to get calcium. Also I have previously been eating dark leafy greens for many years and feel I have high amounts of oxalates in my system, that could potentially cause a lot of health problems on carnivore. I'm confused on what is best.
Calcium is a nutrient that all living organisms need, including humans. It is the most abundant mineral in the body, and it is vital for bone health👍
Not trying to call you out...just that you mentioned that Kale isn't all that is touted(ie, not a 'super food'). Are you saying that the one thing it has going for it is calcium?
I'm confused, in another of your old videos you said calcium supplements are bad . In this one you said it's good ? Can you please clear up my confusion?
yes that very confusing
Calcium supplements are dangerous because are prescribed for people wih weak bones... But the main issue in not the deficiency of calcium, it is the vitamin k2 that delivers calcium from the blood to the bone, and the thus this passion that may be already getting enough calcium from their diet but low k2, end up having kidney stones, and clogged arteries with that access calcium in the blood, if they just ate more greens and salad 🥗 to get k2 they will not have to take calcium as a supplement at all. I hope that was helpful.
Do your own research. But why take supplement , find natural source. Sesame seeds, broccoli, yogurt, green leaf . , Research
Can you drink coffee with milk?
I thought this information contradicts your info on Stop Taking that Calcium Supplement....
TAHINI SESAME BUTTER!!! 100 grams has about 1000mg of calcium!!
You dont mention minimum daily doses. What about post menopausal women with weakening bones - our needs are higher?
Yeah for Sardines
Best source for calcium - poppy seeds
Does parsley have calcium?
Most plants contain calcium depending on the soil where it's grown on. For parsely it's minimal I think bc it's an herb. You can google for nutritional facts
Goats milk/cheese has more calcium than dairy.
Hello, Dr. Berry. As one who suffered a kidney stone while supplementing calcium (and not drinking adequate water if I'm honest), I would like to know your opinion on Calcium, kidney stones, and dehydration. How much of a kidney stone is caused by dehydration vs. over-calcification? And on the subject of stones (kidney and gall) and their prevention, have you heard of chanca piedra, and do you have an opinion on it?
I would like to know that too but he won’t answer.
raw sesame butter one of the best,it's high fat rich calcium and low carb
What about RAW cow or goats milk from grass fed cows?
This is off topic but, I need some advice. I stopped consuming probiotics foods or anything fermented because of the crazy brain fog I get the next day. I’m pretty sure I have sibo but have not been tested. Does anyone else get brain fog with specific food?
What is sibo?
Only when I'm doing Ganja. Namaste
sardines with the bones in
salmon with the bones in
full fat dairy full fat cheese full fat yogurt full fat kefir
nuts and seeds
herbs and spices
dark leafy greens kale broccoli watercress collard greens turnip greens
bone broth
calcium is much better absorbed if it's blended with a protein source in the meal
cheese?
Only sardines with the bones in them r high in calcium
The bones are soft enuff to chew
Sardines themselves don’t have a lot of calcium at all
Egg shells
I think this is a bit dated. There are no more sources of "bones in" canned fish. All I see in every grocery store are sardines without bones. The same for other types of canned fish.
Im so confused. Aparently too much calcium causes heart attacks/strokes etc
Yes, too much of the wrong kind ie supplements and too much in the wrong place ie taking vitamin D without K2 and leptin signalling problem.
Too much calcium supplement without D3 and K2 will cause calcium to deposit in soft tissues and arteries. But not enough calium will do the same as the parathyroid hormones will leach calcium from the bones to replenish the body's caclium needs (osteoperosis). We constantly pee and sweat out minerals, including calcium, thus why we need to intake it daily from most bioavailable sources
What about eggshells?
@Steve Jameison who?
I eat them daily. So does Dr Paul Saladino 😁
