Thank you for this video. I had a severe spike after a hysterectomy. I couldn't find any doctors who could or would help me. They all thought it was psychological. By accident I discovered while eating a Lindt Chocolate with Seasalt bar that my symptoms were significantly reduced. I thought it was the chocolate but eating plain chocolate bars did not help. I had a huge craving for McDonald's fries which I rarely ate - but that did not help (it was the salt on the fries I was really craving). Putting 2 and 2 together I started adding sea salt to my diet and all of my symptoms went away. My symptoms were: High blood pressure, severe anxiety, swelling in my legs, rapid breathing. I tried to share this information with. my doctors but no one would listen nor were they willing to refer me to an endocrinologist. Through self study I learned so much about my adrenal glands and the effect anesthesia has on them.
Why don't Hospitals have ccoks making chicken soups, bone broth and simple things like mashed potatoes, legumes, healthy and cheap from real produce? it needn't be highly spiced. I bet it would be cheaper than buying all the highly processed instant concoctions that are detrimental to ones health most people don't want or even eat? Most ends up in the garbage as you can see from the return trays. If sick people can't eat, fasting is better in any case
I had a painful medical procedure the other day, and I can tell you for a fact that my cortisol levels SPIKED! And we won't even talk about my major surgeries, they were *extremely* traumatic.
I had my fibroids surgery removed. While in recovery, I woke up and I felt throbbing in my upper back. I told my gyno surgeon and he told me to follow up with my primary. In respect, I known my adrenal were going crazy because of these stress of the surgery. I know now what to do if I ever have to have a surgery.🙌🏾
I visited one of my friends who had her breasts removed due to cancer. I was appalled by the putrid crap they presented to her as "food". (she ate it anyway, after all it came from a 'hospital') Sadness heaped upon sadness
That's so interesting. I had a hectic Emergency C section which was traumatic psychologically and physically. Any kind of abdominal surgery has to be one of the most brutal types - at least recovery-wise.
Yes, right at the core of your being. Then just when you needed deep rest, fresh air, sunlight & a dark room at night with open window & good silence for sleep, quiet time with the little one & time with God or soul time, you have to be "on" & talk with everyone, make decisions, enjoy all-night lights & noise, no fresh air, no natural sounds or breezes or feelings of earth. We've gotta change things for the kids. There's movement in that direction.
I don’t know I feel the C-section decision is made by doctors to have a well adhered to work schedule and reduce malpractice liability exposure. Everything now has to be done now and here on my terms including what is supposed to be a natural God designed process it’s heartbreaking. “Delivery on demand” Of course add in the extra cash for C-section which will benefit more medical staff and hospital officials and you see how the odds are against you and the baby.
@@brasilsoccer0 my OB is awesome. He encourages vaginal births, but cause of a previous emergency C-section, my chances of it being successful dropped a lot, so I had to choose C-section.
State of mind is also a significant factor. Fear, anxiety, and emotional stress, both pre and post op, can play a significant role in recovery. _"Perception"_ of a surgical procedure, indeed perception of anything, can directly impact the body's recovery.
Thanks for covering this. Surgery is traumatizing especially if you're really young and are going under. I was seeing a trauma therapist for a little while and he informed me that there's a correlation with general anesthesia (if you go in afraid, you will come out afraid) at a young age and addiction later in life. For example, if you drink til blacking out, that's the way you are compensating with that very early trauma that is trying to resolve itself by other means. It makes sense, when you drink until you blackout you are technically going under. I had eye surgery at the age of 4, came out of the anesthesia afraid and crying. I have other traumas, but that is definitely my earliest. I've been told I've always had anxious temperament (?), have dealt with addiction issues (heavy drinking), among some other things. Fortunately, I stopped drinking 4 years ago. This needs to be researched more.
I'm working with a mom who recovered from breast cancer and is about to undergo surgery for her heart. I've been showing her your videos and encouraging her to explore potassium and other solutions but would love advice on eating before and after heart surgery and other inflammation, too honestly. This is so helpful and I trust your opinion so much. I appreciate you being on here. Thank you!!!
Hi everyone Dr Berg is so kind providing all this valuable information for free to us all. Please remember to let the adverts play in full before watching his videos. It's a small thing we can do.
I had my gallbladder removed on Friday and I just naturally fasted out of fear of a gallbladder attack before my surgery. My family is surprised that I’m recovering so well. I think fasting and resting beforehand helped.
I am 72 years old, and never had any surgery. Had a baby girl in 1970. That's it folks. I have lived a Blessed life. But, I feel your pain. Hospitals are scary.
I did most of what you said pre-op. It was instinctive. BUT I still came out of it with bad results. The surgeon goofed and I ended up back in after 5 weeks in pretty serious shape. Now I am finally healing from they damage they did which left me with severe anemia and kidney damage. But I am so tired and worn out.
I'm having Knee surgery next Friday so, loading up on electrolytes, potassium, magnesium, sea salt. Then, start fasting on Thursday morning and won't eat again until Tuesday morning for a 5 day fast. Also, I have been intermittently fasting for nearly a year now. Hopefully, my recovery will be faster and less stressful to my body.
Good luck! I’m having reconstructive knee surgery tomorrow. I just finished a 14 day fast so I am only fasting for 1 day immediately going into surgery. I loaded up on my electrolytes the past few weeks.
I know it's a while ago, but how did you fast and take medication pills after as you can't take some on an empty stomach. Different op but same situation.
C-section rates are very high in the United States. How do we avoid it and how do we recover? Why is it also dramatizing? Please do a very good video on this subject.🙏💖
Boy...wish I'd known in all the surgeries I've had. It's true...I questioned everything on my plate the last time I was in and they told me I was prediabetic. Lasagna, fried chicken, fruit, some juice and a scoop of ice cream...??? 🤯🤯🤯
Sing it! Seriously. I'm walking into my surgery with a printed sheet of what they are absolutely forbidden to give me and have them sign it before the first needle goes in my skin. Thank God have have lifelong friends who are attorneys.
That makes so much sense. Thanks so much for some very timely info. I was accidentally doing the intermittent just before anaesthetic 2 days ago and have recovered the quickest ever! Im also thinking this may also be the case after my head injury. I still have many symptoms. I was trying everything I can including the alkalising formula. The early symptoms were very consistent with cortisol overload including hot flushes and sleep issues. Very interesting overall, the links to wellness and gaining the best possible outcome for whatever physical condition you are left to manage.
I hope you get good recover time & deep healing. A head injury is often conducive to spiritual growth but also is a solo journey. Nobody can see your condition physically. For general pre-op, post-op & daily healing, i find raw ginger, green tea, I F, mega vita d & c, beets, parsley, sunlight & inversions (feet in air, downward dog or head stands) or a rebounder can really get the life force back. Bless you in the wonderful journey of healing body, mind, soul and the natural world that we can also love & help at this time.
Wish I had this video 6 months ago. I had right shoulder surgery and ever since I have insomnia, more anxiety and was depressed for sure. I also got dandruff for the first time around a week after my surgery and the texture of my hair has changed. My skin also seems mottled especially on the surgery side and my finger tips have tingling sensations. I’ve been extremely fit all my life but I definitely gained some fat after my surgery and now I know why. Lol I’m having my other shoulder surgery in 2 weeks and I will definitely implement this into my regimen. Thanks for the help. 👍🏼
So happy I came across your post! I had my gallbladder removed 17 days ago. About a week after, I started to develop insomnia and now I wake up at around 2-3 am each night and can't get back to sleep. How are you treating your insomnia?
Thanks Eric.. I'm a Multiple Myeloma survivor and I've have also had many major surgeries both for injuries and Cancer but Keto has certainly helped me recover from those issues.. Last year in October I did an Autologous bone Marrow Transplant and broke all records for harvesting and Recovery post Transplant. I also had almost zero side effects from the heavy chemo..and also needed No blood transfusion at all!! I am currently helping others to deal with Cancer and Treatment using a Ketogenic Lifestyle.. Do you have any advise for me regarding patients with Brain Cancer and Breast Cancer! And what are your thoughts regarding Keto and MM.. Loving your channel! Stay well!! 🤙🏼 😎 🤙🏼 🇿🇦
You also need to share your story with the MD's in the Keto community, as they for 💯 will put you in a video. Ken Berry, Nadir Ali, Shawn Baker, Paul Saladino, and Peter Attia. Your story could help millions drastically improve their QoL & lifespan. Good luck and Congrats!
@@thorzyan Thank you for the reply.. I will definitely contact them and hope to help others get the right info and be reassured that they can also thrive and not only survive..
The Keto Surfer good luck! Make sure to let them all know you'd like to do the entire group circuit to spread the messages far as possible. This will enable them to each script their YT content appropriately. If you do find yourself on direct FaceTime with them, dress professional and film in a quiet neat room (and make sure others members of your household keep the ruckus down). While Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer are both awesome and popular advocates in the Keto community, I'm not sure they can legally interview a cancer survivor with the express purpose of promoting a potential medical cure. Dangerous legal waters.
Thank You Dr. Berg….I had Rotator Cuff large tear and Bicep tear surgery 3 weeks ago….I had no idea about all the possible affects….I am a devoted follower of you…Your presentations are Always Beneficial 👍👍👍👏👏👏…this one is most helpful‼️👍
Medications to control excessive production of cortisol at the adrenal gland include ketoconazole, mitotane (Lysodren) and metyrapone (Metopirone). Mifepristone (Korlym, Mifeprex) is approved for people with Cushing syndrome who have type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance.👍
There are many others that cause the same effects from their side effects and it goes unnoticed because doctors usually blame the patient and never their drugs.
Thanks for that video. Doc I've been hoping you would help me out I'm going in for minor surgery they say double hernia but I pretty much had the right idea you just confirmed it for me thank you so much you're awesome brother
I appreciate this information so very much! It explains why my body is reacting the way it is after oral surgery. I wasn’t even put under, but the procedure creates enough stress to create inflammation and water retention.
Where is the corresponding information about the trauma of surgery coming from the medical profession? People do think that if they are unconscious then what's the problem? Even dealing with walk-in, walk-out ambulatory surgery centers. Wonderful video. ❤️ I can also mention that I had a 7 hour dental work-up removing all metals and root canals that was done under conscious sedation. I was up and around in 12 hours including attending class. My last dental visit was for getting a tooth pulled under whatever drugs they are using now (the dentist couldn't tell me what drugs were used... he said he didn't know!). Plus he gave me no pain killers. I went home and couldn't sleep for 48 hours. This was a guy with fancy credentials and a glamorous office suite.
Had 4 hour cervical surgery 6 weeks ago. Was mostly on healthy keto/intermittent fasting. Hospital food at Yale was great but rehab (also a partial nursing home) was vile institutional. Staff & kitchen were kind their kids were vegans. Bought me organics from supermarket. I got eczema in 5 days. Hadn't had it in 55 years. Geez I couldn't keep my mouth closed about unhealthy fake food
I just had knee surgery. Been keto for 2 years and have difficulties w/ cortisol and stress. Now I know better what to look for and what to do. Gonna increase electrolytes right away. Thanks!
Thanks Doc! I am anticipating breast reduction surgery- recovery itself is surprisingly short (not to be confused with complete healing) & this will be helpful to keep in mind :)
thank you for this - I had a brain tumor removed in April and just cannot shake any weight - I just seem to be storing everything - was 10 hours on the table
I had two surgeries last year . One in July , and second one in December , both on the same knee . First surgery was to put a cadaver acl and clean my miniscus, and second one was a knee manipulation. Very painful, the anesthesia made me so out of it. I think some patches of my hair fell out possibly from side effects from anesthesia. This is great info doc, thanks 🙏 My ortho doc was great but I wish I would have known to do keto beforehand. This is why your amazing 👏👍 I just remember fasting and doing some of the electro lights after surgery and before .
Amen to the poor quality of hospital food. I’m in here and the liquid diet they serve you is despicable!! No nourishment at all. I seem to fall into lots of what you mentioned and any kind of moderate complaints you give them, they are ready with a drug! 😠. Had to suffer through a potassium drip that was horrible. Finally asked my daughter to bring me some of your supplements as I feel the hospital are compromising my health (and already had major issues before I came in) so I’m ready to be out of here and start the real healing at home. What a mess I feel like. ☹️. Thank you for the great video!!
For a moment I thought Dr Berg will draw on his shirt... 🤪 Week ago I had surgery and I can’t believe how lucky we are to get this. I did 24h intermittent fast before the surgery. I continued fasting. I made an error guys I did go into carbs and defo feel weirded out. So grateful for this as I have one more surgery in 2 weeks. What electrolytes do you recommend?
Biki keto chow's mineral electrolyte drops on Amazon. I don't drink water without it anymore, no cramps ever. Blood tests are perfect on sodium, potassium, & magnesium
Agree amazing video but fasting in hospital not a good idea for most are on medication, understand intermittent fasting and one meal in hospital perhaps if one finds themselves in the hands of hospital matrix bring in some great Protein Keto Shakes and lots of Arnica for Trauma
I had a colonoscopy 2 months ago and my cortisol levels spiked to 700, even 2 moths after surgery. The doctor was really bad, he perforated my intestine and my spline, I believe this is the reason my cortisol spiked.
I'm staring down shoulder and knee surgery, so I've been prepping my liver and body to hit the starting line at 100%. IF/Keto👍 Edit: having been in a constant state of ketosis for 8 months, it just dawned on me that the surgeon might give me an IV of glucose during the operation. I'll have to look into this more. Thanks Doc! 2nd Edit: and the post surgery Jello! Having had surgery once before, I know for sure they give you jello and Gatorade, which I'm sure I would've mindlessly consumed if not for this video. Can you imagine the insulin response I'd have after not consuming ANY sugar I. 8months? I went from Being a prediabetic 275 lbs to 215lbs with a washboard stomach (45m, 6'0")... zero sit-ups, just 20 minutes of swimming per day. I'm still losing around.25 lbs per day- no idea where it's going to end.
I’m having reconstructive knee surgery tomorrow. I’ve had 17 orthopedic surgeries. I decline the crackers, soda/juice etc. Normally I just do water so I can leave. But, tomorrow, I’ll be even smarter. I’m bringing Dr Berg’s electrolytes. I’ll be curious to see how I feel afterwards by consuming this vs all my other surgeries.
Rochelle Maly Good luck! Let us know in a few days please. Any glucose IV plans from the surgeons (that’s my biggest concern: a bag of iv sugar after being sugar free for 6 months; Yikes!).
Thanks! Will do! I have never received glucose solution so not expecting one today. Although, this surgery is scheduled for 3 hours and I haven't had that long of one since 80's/90's when I had my ACLs reconstructed. I will ask and update you. I had knee surgery in April and the anesthesiologist stated I was medically boring lol as I have no health issues so I wonder how much of that plays a role in what they administer during surgery.
I realize this video is almost two years old, but hopefully you still read these messages. Any tips on minimizing POCD? I've noticed that a family member who just had surgery is suffering from memory loss and is having a hard time keeping track of his medication as well as learning to do other things.
I just watched 20 minutes of a Netflix show: What The Health - could not watch any further, potentially very confusing. Dr Berg, could you please set them straight and give us your views?
I had two back to back major cancer surgery. To my surprise they ask that I eliminate all vitamins, zinc, C, anything that would keep the system boosted. It made no sense to me & so now I’m fighting to have the energy to fight. I feel so depleted & depressed.
I'm wondering how long the after effects of surgery last. I had emergency major surgery in mid-February, a minor surgery (unrelated) in mid-May, and then major surgery again in late June to reverse part of what the surgeon had to do during the first operation. I've only just started to feel more like myself again.
...🌻🍂🎃thank you for this informative info as it explains a lot; I was not on Keto at the time of a ‘major’ surgery and my body reacted negatively, particularly my legs got very swollen accompanied by brain fog and weakness; thank you for increasing our awareness of the negative impacts caused by surgery and some tips to help alleviate its side affects.
I,ve had 3 surgeries. I viewed them as calculated wounds to my body. I may need another surgery sooner or later. That's why I'm working on losing the weight.
I have high cortisol between 3 am and 4 am. I asked my Nutritionist if Intermittent Fasting would help my Adrenals and he told me to stop doing it because it will traumatize and make my Adrenal fatigue much worse. Is this true Dr. Berg or do I need to stop paying my Nutritionist?
Zee human beings existed for 100k+ years in a state of ketosis with frequent periods of intermittent fasting (i.e. Winter/ice ages). We could not have survived as a species if IF/Keto were bad for you. This simple undeniable truth is what will eventually sway the masses. It is unassailable. Yes, fire your new age nutritionist!
@@thorzyan Thanks ! I was confused when he said that. He probably have never heard of Intermittent Fasting. Why do you call him new age? It is Dr Lam who has experience with adrenal fatigue by the way.
Zee most nutritionists tend to be of the new age crystal variety, which gives the entire profession a bad name unfortunately. They are even more intractable than the standard medical community (lots of vegans sadly). Was playing the odds.
First of all I’m sorry don’t speak English well.. Now, I wish I could’ve known you and this video two years ago. I had a tummy tuck and breast surgery, two days later I lost my de ability to smell and taste maybe I got a virus. 3 weeks later I have liquid retention in my feet. Lastly, I gain 30 pounds, constipation, depression and run out of energy. I feel like a zombie. Watching your videos I realize that the cause could have been the stress event of going to surgery, then the virus affected my liver/kidneys function then my thyroid ( possible hashimotos). 3 months ago I started keto alone with your vitamins D, nutritional yeast, omega 3, sea kelp, bile salts, electrolytes, green powder juice, acv, lemon, Brazil nut, fasting and I think that’s all… my life and energy is back I’m living again I felt I was going to die before. I really appreciate everything you do. You save my life and many more for sure 🙏
Hello dg Berg. Does this also apply to viral infections? I was diagnosed with viral infection of cerebral spinal fluid. After that I got all sort of anxiety/insomnia/depression symptoms which last till now (after over 2,5 years). Don't know what to do
i fasted before my hair inplant surgery. It was a long one (10-12 hour).. my mood was great for the most part of procedure.. Just got a little bored like 9-12 hour cause, yeah, its hard, sometimes felt pain. But i was really greateful to the anesthetist who asked me to fast before surgery.
Hi dr Berg - I am a passionate follower. Just had surgery and was wondering if you fast after surgery, your systems are probably not going to return to normal as you need to pass fluid and a stool before being discharged. Whats the best practise to get those bowels moving without eating the unhealthy refined hospital food?
Every surgery I have had they were horrible... Like in a horror movie... Back then I didn't know about keto and IF😔 Thank you for the information Dr Éric Berg!!! I'm lucky, I couldn't eat anything 2 days before every procedure. In the hospital they give you high carbs and full of sugars meals +a tone of generic medications.. In hospital, they don't let u rest they permanently wake u up!!!!
I just had knee replacement surgery 3 weeks ago and just couldn't believe my eyes. It was like going to a cheap coffee shop. On one hand they were giving me anti inflammation medication on the other hand they were giving me pro inflammation food. Unbelievable!
Lena Friesen what did you do to mitigate? How much push back? I'm looking at knee and shoulder surgery within a month, and I've been carpet bombing this comment section collecting data🤣🤘🏻. Cheers on a speedy recovery
@@thorzyan I didn't expect them to understand my eating habits or reasons. I explained since I hadn't had grains in a couple yrs that I didn't have the enzymes to digest grains and they seemed to be fine with that explanation. I ordered from the menu what I could and my husband was kind to bring food in from home
Lena Friesen I like that response. I find myself trying to come up with short phrase answers to mitigate having hour long discussions about Keto with every person I interact with🤣. (For both our benefit)
Doctors killed my mom...she had a tumour in her brain and they rushed her to do a surgery scaring us by saying she might have a stroke and go into coma if they don't. After surgery her condition worsened...memory loss..unable to walk....it was shattering to watch. She passed away after just a few months.
Yeah... but at the icu, they'd feed my dad 24/7, through his nose, because "it's less stressfull to the body"... and it gets worse: he had a infeccious colitis, so his colon just couldn't ever get a rest...
So is anyone going to address the Indian actress that just died from the KETO diet. I can remember an Indian doctor telling me that anyone who is diabetic, SHOULD NOT EVER do keto. And I had doubted her, but I guess she was right.
The hospital wants me to drink Ensure Pre-Surgery carb drink, x 3 BEFORE surgery(bilateral TKR) : wo the day before, and one 3 hours before. This flies in the face of everything I understood about fasting/recovery. Can I refuse to drink it? Should I refuse?
Thanks for all information. I learned a lot from you. I have a question about Seborrheic dermatitis on hair line and eyebrows part , nothing is helping. if you can make a video about that , I will appreciate it,

I hope you get good recover time & deep healing. A head injury is often conducive to spiritual growth but also is a solo journey. Nobody can see your condition physically. For general pre-op, post-op & daily healing, i find raw ginger, green tea, I F, mega vita d & c, beets, parsley, sunlight & inversions (feet in air, downward dog or head stands) or a rebounder can really get the life force back. Bless you in the wonderful journey of healing body, mind, soul and the natural world that we can also love & help at this time.
Hey dr eric berg please make video about CBD oil! Love you ❤️
Dr berg could you please talk about brain health Thanks
Wish I had this video 6 months ago. I had right shoulder surgery and ever since I have insomnia, more anxiety and was depressed for sure. I also got dandruff for the first time around a week after my surgery and the texture of my hair has changed. My skin also seems mottled especially on the surgery side and my finger tips have tingling sensations. I’ve been extremely fit all my life but I definitely gained some fat after my surgery and now I know why. Lol I’m having my other shoulder surgery in 2 weeks and I will definitely implement this into my regimen. Thanks for the help. 👍🏼
So how does it go on your second surgery?
So happy I came across your post! I had my gallbladder removed 17 days ago. About a week after, I started to develop insomnia and now I wake up at around 2-3 am each night and can't get back to sleep. How are you treating your insomnia?
Thanks Eric.. I'm a Multiple Myeloma survivor and I've have also had many major surgeries both for injuries and Cancer but Keto has certainly helped me recover from those issues.. Last year in October I did an Autologous bone Marrow Transplant and broke all records for harvesting and Recovery post Transplant. I also had almost zero side effects from the heavy chemo..and also needed No blood transfusion at all!!
I am currently helping others to deal with Cancer and Treatment using a Ketogenic Lifestyle.. Do you have any advise for me regarding patients with Brain Cancer and Breast Cancer!
And what are your thoughts regarding Keto and MM..
Loving your channel!
Stay well!!
🤙🏼 😎 🤙🏼 🇿🇦
Congrats to you. BRAVO!
You also need to share your story with the MD's in the Keto community, as they for 💯 will put you in a video. Ken Berry, Nadir Ali, Shawn Baker, Paul Saladino, and Peter Attia.
Your story could help millions drastically improve their QoL & lifespan. Good luck and Congrats!
@@thorzyan Thank you for the reply.. I will definitely contact them and hope to help others get the right info and be reassured that they can also thrive and not only survive..
The Keto Surfer good luck! Make sure to let them all know you'd like to do the entire group circuit to spread the messages far as possible. This will enable them to each script their YT content appropriately. If you do find yourself on direct FaceTime with them, dress professional and film in a quiet neat room (and make sure others members of your household keep the ruckus down).
While Eric Berg and Thomas DeLauer are both awesome and popular advocates in the Keto community, I'm not sure they can legally interview a cancer survivor with the express purpose of promoting a potential medical cure. Dangerous legal waters.
The Keto Surfer YO! Ken Berry is live on YT & FB right now. Jump on the live stream and chat now!
Artificial light exposure to tissues during the surgery is one of the factors as well.
Eric Morrison just reminded me to buy a far infrared lamp before surgery. Tremendous healing benefits.
Doc can you do something on Caesarian sections. I’ve not been the same after having two.
Thank You Dr. Berg….I had Rotator Cuff large tear and Bicep tear surgery 3 weeks ago….I had no idea about all the possible affects….I am a devoted follower of you…Your presentations are Always Beneficial 👍👍👍👏👏👏…this one is most helpful‼️👍
Medications to control excessive production of cortisol at the adrenal gland include ketoconazole, mitotane (Lysodren) and metyrapone (Metopirone). Mifepristone (Korlym, Mifeprex) is approved for people with Cushing syndrome who have type 2 diabetes or glucose intolerance.👍
There are many others that cause the same effects from their side effects and it goes unnoticed because doctors usually blame the patient and never their drugs.
I thought Sugar put the Die
in Diabetes !
Yes, your body knows its been in a near death experience and reacts accordingly.
Thanks for that video. Doc I've been hoping you would help me out I'm going in for minor surgery they say double hernia but I pretty much had the right idea you just confirmed it for me thank you so much you're awesome brother
Very very informative
great episode!!
I appreciate this information so very much! It explains why my body is reacting the way it is after oral surgery. I wasn’t even put under, but the procedure creates enough stress to create inflammation and water retention.
Dr Berg could you do a break down on why the “ starch solution “ diet is not good? Or is it? For someone who is not a diabetic.
So that explains it! After I had surgery for a collapsed lung in 1989, I lost my memory for people's names. I still have trouble with this today.
Dr Aidin Salih also recommends fasting before a surgery and during a time of illness
Where is the corresponding information about the trauma of surgery coming from the medical profession? People do think that if they are unconscious then what's the problem? Even dealing with walk-in, walk-out ambulatory surgery centers. Wonderful video. ❤️ I can also mention that I had a 7 hour dental work-up removing all metals and root canals that was done under conscious sedation. I was up and around in 12 hours including attending class. My last dental visit was for getting a tooth pulled under whatever drugs they are using now (the dentist couldn't tell me what drugs were used... he said he didn't know!). Plus he gave me no pain killers. I went home and couldn't sleep for 48 hours. This was a guy with fancy credentials and a glamorous office suite.
Had 4 hour cervical surgery 6 weeks ago. Was mostly on healthy keto/intermittent fasting. Hospital food at Yale was great but rehab (also a partial nursing home) was vile institutional. Staff & kitchen were kind their kids were vegans. Bought me organics from supermarket. I got eczema in 5 days. Hadn't had it in 55 years. Geez I couldn't keep my mouth closed about unhealthy fake food
Crazy that hospitals give you the least healthy food, criminal really. Keep up the great work Dr. B 👍
I just had knee surgery. Been keto for 2 years and have difficulties w/ cortisol and stress. Now I know better what to look for and what to do. Gonna increase electrolytes right away. Thanks!
Thanks Doc! I am anticipating breast reduction surgery- recovery itself is surprisingly short (not to be confused with complete healing) & this will be helpful to keep in mind :)
Did you end up having the surgery?
دكتور بيرج انا اتابعك حقا
ولكن لا افهم اي شي لذلك سأحاول تعلم الإنكليزي
Thanks ✋,
😁🤭
دكتور بيرج عنده حلقات مترجمة باللغة العربية ، ابحث عن ( دكتور بيرج ) بالعربي .
@@uaebifvideo5472 شكرا جزيلا
thank you for this - I had a brain tumor removed in April and just cannot shake any weight - I just seem to be storing everything - was 10 hours on the table
I had two surgeries last year . One in July , and second one in December , both on the same knee . First surgery was to put a cadaver acl and clean my miniscus, and second one was a knee manipulation. Very painful, the anesthesia made me so out of it. I think some patches of my hair fell out possibly from side effects from anesthesia. This is great info doc, thanks 🙏
My ortho doc was great but I wish I would have known to do keto beforehand. This is why your amazing 👏👍 I just remember fasting and doing some of the electro lights after surgery and before .
adrenal stress causes alopecia too.
I developed short term GASTROPARESIS after a procedure that lasted a few years.
Amen to the poor quality of hospital food. I’m in here and the liquid diet they serve you is despicable!! No nourishment at all. I seem to fall into lots of what you mentioned and any kind of moderate complaints you give them, they are ready with a drug! 😠. Had to suffer through a potassium drip that was horrible. Finally asked my daughter to bring me some of your supplements as I feel the hospital are compromising my health (and already had major issues before I came in) so I’m ready to be out of here and start the real healing at home. What a mess I feel like. ☹️. Thank you for the great video!!
Thank you so much for this. I have a complicated oral surgery in 3 weeks; and then hernia surgery in a couple of months. This is perfect timing.
wow, interesting, never would have thought about this,
For a moment I thought Dr Berg will draw on his shirt... 🤪
Week ago I had surgery and I can’t believe how lucky we are to get this. I did 24h intermittent fast before the surgery. I continued fasting. I made an error guys I did go into carbs and defo feel weirded out. So grateful for this as I have one more surgery in 2 weeks. What electrolytes do you recommend?
Biki keto chow's mineral electrolyte drops on Amazon. I don't drink water without it anymore, no cramps ever. Blood tests are perfect on sodium, potassium, & magnesium
thorzyan thanks so much. I am so grateful you have no idea.
Biki welcome. Please reply back to this comment In a couple weeks (currently 10/4/20) so others can see your before/after. 🤘🏻
Straight blasted the hospital foods! Lol he is real and cares about people's overall health, avoiding disease rather than "treating" it
Thank you!! I appreciate this info as I have an upcoming surgery 💖💖
Very helpful information, hard to find elsewhere. Thank you, Dr. Berg
Agree amazing video but fasting in hospital not a good idea for most are on medication, understand intermittent fasting and one meal in hospital perhaps if one finds themselves in the hands of hospital matrix bring in some great Protein Keto Shakes and lots of Arnica for Trauma
Temarama Moonlight this. Go into the hospital with a plan and supplies cleared with your doctor and agreed upon. YOU are the boss, not them.
I had a colonoscopy 2 months ago and my cortisol levels spiked to 700, even 2 moths after surgery. The doctor was really bad, he perforated my intestine and my spline, I believe this is the reason my cortisol spiked.
Could you do a video about chlorella and spirulina please 💕💕 thank you so much
Doctor, translate this program about cortisol at Russian language please
I'm staring down shoulder and knee surgery, so I've been prepping my liver and body to hit the starting line at 100%. IF/Keto👍
Edit: having been in a constant state of ketosis for 8 months, it just dawned on me that the surgeon might give me an IV of glucose during the operation. I'll have to look into this more. Thanks Doc!
2nd Edit: and the post surgery Jello! Having had surgery once before, I know for sure they give you jello and Gatorade, which I'm sure I would've mindlessly consumed if not for this video. Can you imagine the insulin response I'd have after not consuming ANY sugar I. 8months? I went from Being a prediabetic 275 lbs to 215lbs with a washboard stomach (45m, 6'0")... zero sit-ups, just 20 minutes of swimming per day. I'm still losing around.25 lbs per day- no idea where it's going to end.
I’m having reconstructive knee surgery tomorrow. I’ve had 17 orthopedic surgeries. I decline the crackers, soda/juice etc. Normally I just do water so I can leave. But, tomorrow, I’ll be even smarter. I’m bringing Dr Berg’s electrolytes. I’ll be curious to see how I feel afterwards by consuming this vs all my other surgeries.
Rochelle Maly Good luck! Let us know in a few days please. Any glucose IV plans from the surgeons (that’s my biggest concern: a bag of iv sugar after being sugar free for 6 months; Yikes!).
Thanks! Will do! I have never received glucose solution so not expecting one today. Although, this surgery is scheduled for 3 hours and I haven't had that long of one since 80's/90's when I had my ACLs reconstructed. I will ask and update you. I had knee surgery in April and the anesthesiologist stated I was medically boring lol as I have no health issues so I wonder how much of that plays a role in what they administer during surgery.
Ooh that hospital food! I was about talking about it!
I realize this video is almost two years old, but hopefully you still read these messages. Any tips on minimizing POCD? I've noticed that a family member who just had surgery is suffering from memory loss and is having a hard time keeping track of his medication as well as learning to do other things.
That makes sense. I developed giant cell arteritis 1 day post surgery.
GCA is not developed that quickly. It was already there and someone missed the diagnosis.
I just watched 20 minutes of a Netflix show: What The Health - could not watch any further, potentially very confusing. Dr Berg, could you please set them straight and give us your views?
Netflix also promotes pedophilia. Cancel your sub .
Same thing happened to me. But was ankle. In jan this year, now fighting weight gain.
I had two back to back major cancer surgery. To my surprise they ask that I eliminate all vitamins, zinc, C, anything that would keep the system boosted. It made no sense to me & so now I’m fighting to have the energy to fight. I feel so depleted & depressed.
I don't want to remember my hiatal hernia repair surgery... such a nightmare.
I'm wondering how long the after effects of surgery last. I had emergency major surgery in mid-February, a minor surgery (unrelated) in mid-May, and then major surgery again in late June to reverse part of what the surgeon had to do during the first operation. I've only just started to feel more like myself again.
...🌻🍂🎃thank you for this informative info as it explains a lot; I was not on Keto at the time of a ‘major’ surgery and my body reacted negatively, particularly my legs got very swollen accompanied by brain fog and weakness; thank you for increasing our awareness of the negative impacts caused by surgery and some tips to help alleviate its side affects.
I,ve had 3 surgeries. I viewed them as calculated wounds to my body. I may need another surgery sooner or later. That's why I'm working on losing the weight.
I have high cortisol between 3 am and 4 am. I asked my Nutritionist if Intermittent Fasting would help my Adrenals and he told me to stop doing it because it will traumatize and make my Adrenal fatigue much worse. Is this true Dr. Berg or do I need to stop paying my Nutritionist?
Zee human beings existed for 100k+ years in a state of ketosis with frequent periods of intermittent fasting (i.e. Winter/ice ages). We could not have survived as a species if IF/Keto were bad for you. This simple undeniable truth is what will eventually sway the masses. It is unassailable.
Yes, fire your new age nutritionist!
@@thorzyan Thanks ! I was confused when he said that. He probably have never heard of Intermittent Fasting. Why do you call him new age? It is Dr Lam who has experience with adrenal fatigue by the way.
Zee most nutritionists tend to be of the new age crystal variety, which gives the entire profession a bad name unfortunately. They are even more intractable than the standard medical community (lots of vegans sadly).
Was playing the odds.
@@thorzyan Ok thanks
I had my gallbladder removed about 17 days ago. A week after surgery, I developed insomnia and wake every night between 2-3 am. Is that high cortisol?
I just got some Sauerkraut and after eating some l feel much better.
Dr. Berg, any video on this effect?
Thanks ! Keep it UP !
Thanks Dr. Berg it was informative.
Glad it was helpful!
First of all I’m sorry don’t speak English well.. Now, I wish I could’ve known you and this video two years ago. I had a tummy tuck and breast surgery, two days later I lost my de ability to smell and taste maybe I got a virus. 3 weeks later I have liquid retention in my feet. Lastly, I gain 30 pounds, constipation, depression and run out of energy. I feel like a zombie. Watching your videos I realize that the cause could have been the stress event of going to surgery, then the virus affected my liver/kidneys function then my thyroid ( possible hashimotos). 3 months ago I started keto alone with your vitamins D, nutritional yeast, omega 3, sea kelp, bile salts, electrolytes, green powder juice, acv, lemon, Brazil nut, fasting and I think that’s all… my life and energy is back I’m living again I felt I was going to die before. I really appreciate everything you do. You save my life and many more for sure 🙏
Hello dg Berg. Does this also apply to viral infections? I was diagnosed with viral infection of cerebral spinal fluid. After that I got all sort of anxiety/insomnia/depression symptoms which last till now (after over 2,5 years). Don't know what to do
i fasted before my hair inplant surgery. It was a long one (10-12 hour).. my mood was great for the most part of procedure.. Just got a little bored like 9-12 hour cause, yeah, its hard, sometimes felt pain. But i was really greateful to the anesthetist who asked me to fast before surgery.
Hi dr Berg - I am a passionate follower. Just had surgery and was wondering if you fast after surgery, your systems are probably not going to return to normal as you need to pass fluid and a stool before being discharged. Whats the best practise to get those bowels moving without eating the unhealthy refined hospital food?
Every surgery I have had they were horrible... Like in a horror movie... Back then I didn't know about keto and IF😔 Thank you for the information Dr Éric Berg!!! I'm lucky, I couldn't eat anything 2 days before every procedure. In the hospital they give you high carbs and full of sugars meals +a tone of generic medications.. In hospital, they don't let u rest they permanently wake u up!!!!
Please create video on cause of lipoma and how to cure it
Thank u for the information Doc
Thanks for the helpful info, Dr. Eric.
Yes the cheap nasty carby "food" at the hospital should be illegal/criminal. Really good points.
I just had knee replacement surgery 3 weeks ago and just couldn't believe my eyes. It was like going to a cheap coffee shop. On one hand they were giving me anti inflammation medication on the other hand they were giving me pro inflammation food. Unbelievable!
Lena Friesen what did you do to mitigate? How much push back? I'm looking at knee and shoulder surgery within a month, and I've been carpet bombing this comment section collecting data🤣🤘🏻. Cheers on a speedy recovery
@@thorzyan I didn't expect them to understand my eating habits or reasons. I explained since I hadn't had grains in a couple yrs that I didn't have the enzymes to digest grains and they seemed to be fine with that explanation. I ordered from the menu what I could and my husband was kind to bring food in from home
Lena Friesen I like that response. I find myself trying to come up with short phrase answers to mitigate having hour long discussions about Keto with every person I interact with🤣. (For both our benefit)
Doctors killed my mom...she had a tumour in her brain and they rushed her to do a surgery scaring us by saying she might have a stroke and go into coma if they don't. After surgery her condition worsened...memory loss..unable to walk....it was shattering to watch. She passed away after just a few months.
💔
Hey Doctor, do you know how long does that cognitive dysfunction lasts?
Thank you so much. The hospitals food usually are very inflammatory foods
Glad to help! Be well!
Yeah... but at the icu, they'd feed my dad 24/7, through his nose, because "it's less stressfull to the body"... and it gets worse: he had a infeccious colitis, so his colon just couldn't ever get a rest...
Very informative. Thank you !!
What kind of electrolytes do you recommend? Is BBL invasive surgery?
Pleasa make a video on how ro get rid of pigmentation and uneven skin tone
Thank you Dr.
So is anyone going to address the Indian actress that just died from the KETO diet. I can remember an Indian doctor telling me that anyone who is diabetic, SHOULD NOT EVER do keto. And I had doubted her, but I guess she was right.
What are our options for taking electrolytes as Dr. B recommends in this video?
The hospital wants me to drink Ensure Pre-Surgery carb drink, x 3 BEFORE surgery(bilateral TKR) : wo the day before, and one 3 hours before. This flies in the face of everything I understood about fasting/recovery. Can I refuse to drink it? Should I refuse?
Hi Dr Berg , What about when going in for a c-section? What tips is beneficial?
What electrolytes do you recommend?
Thanks for all information. I learned a lot from you. I have a question about Seborrheic dermatitis on hair line and eyebrows part , nothing is helping. if you can make a video about that , I will appreciate it,
What's best food to eat 48 hours after surgety. examples please.
