Healthy Ketogenic Diet and Intermittent Fasting:

Today I want to share a protocol to potentially help undo calcification in the arteries. 

What you could do for calcification in the arteries:
1. Allicin 
This is a phytonutrient in garlic. There is some interesting research on the association of allicin and decreased artery calcification in animals. 

2. Butyrate 
This is a compound that the microbes in the gut make when you feed them fiber (vegetable fiber). It’s a type of fat, a small-chain fatty acid. Butyrate has been associated with a decreased risk of artery disease. 

3. Lycopene 
This is a phytonutrient in certain vegetables. There is some interesting data showing how lycopene can decrease the thickness of the wall of the arteries and decrease the stiffness. 

4. Omega-3 fatty acids 
You can find this in cod liver oil or fish oils. Omega-3 fatty acids may help decrease inflammation.

5. GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) 
This is a type of omega-6 fatty acid that is actually friendly to your arteries. A few examples would be borage oil, black currant seed oil, and evening primrose oil. GLA may help decrease inflammation, decrease the thickness of the arteries, and decrease plaque formation in the arteries. 

6. Vitamin K2 (MK-7 version)
You may want to consider consuming 300mcg of vitamin K2 every day. Vitamin K2 can activate a certain protein that inhibits calcium from forming in the arteries. 

7. Tocotrienols 
This is one form of the vitamin E complex. Tocotrienols can greatly decrease inflammation in the arteries. 

8. Decrease insulin resistance 
Do whatever you can to decrease and reverse insulin resistance. There is a direct relationship between having insulin resistance and having calcification in the arteries. A lot of these other remedies may not work unless you also fix insulin resistance. You can help fix insulin resistance by doing the healthy keto diet and intermittent fasting. 

The most important combination:
• Address insulin resistance 
• Tocotrienols 
• Vitamin K2 
• Allicin 
• Omega-3 fatty acids 

Secondary:
• Butyrate 
• Lycopene 
• GLA

I asked my cardiologist if we could do a calcium scan and they denied me and said I don’t have enough symptoms to make it worth it. Then they tried to prescribe me statins. Then it was my turn to deny them.

[genaderibeaux]

I show Dr Berg videos to my patients while I hold them captive in recovery... I am a cardiovascular procedure nurse and his videos are the best!

Had my CAC test yesterday 8-3-22 and came back zero. 59 yrs old been lifting for over 30 years. Also had a CMIT test in 2019 which also came back good. I still don't take life for granted. God is good.

[lornahowerton]

I had a CAC score of 1600 in 2919. Started Keto and IF under your guidance.Lost 15 lbs and 8" off my waist 1" off my hips and reversed my Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease and returned my Fasting Insulin to below 1 which is normal for a Native American heritage.Had a normal Nuclear Medicine Score which showed normal ejection fraction and NO blood flow restriction in 2023. Been taking garlic, berberine, K2, and Vitamin E as you previously suggested. Hoping to see the results of my followe-up CAC score. Thank you Dr. Berg, all my family died of heart disease and were not overweight.If I hadn't seen your video on Metabolic Syndrome I wouldn't have had the CAC scan as I have never been everweight. Even If I had no heart trouble I would stay Keto and IF because of how I feel with thus lifestyle. God bless you.

Took the calcification test and got a zero. Started taking K2 a couple years ago. Thank you! Dr. Berg for all your much appreciated information! You are never too old to start learning about proper nutrition! I am 70!

[bryantaustin]

I'm so grateful for the knowledge I've gained this past year through your videos. I lost 35 lbs and wasn't even trying to lose weight; just wanted to have more energy and improve longevity. I'm in my 50s and am in the best health and fitness that I've ever been because of your content. Thank you for all of your prolific work!

[kaymyers]

I reside in the uk 🇬🇧 and would be eternally grateful and thankful Dr Eric Berg if you could email me some further info regarding this subject.
I recently had a heart attack with pneumonia. I spent 18 day in hospital and finally returned home on Sunday
I have been following you while being treated. Insomnia allowed me to find and follow you on my journey of well being.
I trust you and Our Lord Jesus Christ., for revealing this vitally important info. pray

[riversavage]

Thank you for this video. I started every day with your videos. I am a retired biology teacher and I am still learning. I love it.

[hermosasons]

Dang this Dr is phenomenal. I'm gonna live healthy

[DawnDrifterAU]

Been following Dr Berg for a while now. 5 months doing keto and IF and I'm down 13.5kg (30 pounds) and feeling much better. It works. Slowly but no doubt it works. So blessed to have been able to find the doc.

[csaconsulting]

I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for me and many people around the world. I now have a better understanding of what is needed to be done, and more importantly of the limitations of my GP, whilst still being respectful of their skills.
well done again you are a champion person.

[bonnieanderson]

Dr. Berg you will go down in the books for giving from your heart. God Bless you.

[Bhatmann]

My CAC score is 123 overall. It has motivated me to make my health top priority.
Thank you doctor for covering this topic.

Dr. Berg, after being diagnosed with early stages of atherosclerotic heart disease ( today is 7-10-2023 ), I immediately had the CT Calcium Heart test. My score is a wonderful Zero. I am almost 79. However, my diagnosis says I Do have early Atherosclerotic heart disease. So, I have just learned by doing my own research that……calcium buildup and PLAQUE buildup are two separate issues. And that even though both can be diagnosed with a CT…….they are TWO DIFFERENT CT’s. I am not sure if the title of your video is simply clickbail, or if you are not aware that Calcium and Plaque are two separate things, because the title of your video says “ Plaque “ yet your speaking on the video is saying “ Calcium “. Please don’t mislead anyone. Today I am requesting the OTHER CT scan……for the PLAQUE. I am like a tiger when it comes to getting to the bottom of health problems. Warmly, Carol, from Atlanta. Again, today is 7-10-2023.

Hi Doc, I saw your video with Charles Dowding yesterday, been watching him over 2 years, I grow no dig because of him, saw a video on the vitamins and minerals in veg, they compared to 60 years ago, an old French study.

Basically hybrid types pushing volume at the expense of quality (the plant can only give so much, and they double the size at expense of quality) and dead soil

Looking forward to your experiments, while growing heritage varieties in pure compost, well at least the top 6".

Loving your work, I have been mainly watching for diet and low carb stuff, trying to get off my last pharma pills

[josscollins]

I started going to see him 2016 I believe..I'm very grateful for him tho he has no idea...I share his information and my experience all the time..I was able to change my eating habits moving forward never looked back. He's the real deal.

Been doing keto with OMAD for more than 5 months now I lost 74lbs so far but still got about another 40-50lbs yet to go but I am borrowing a blood sugar meter from a friend now and I've been testing my whole blood with it and I can't believe how stable it is now. I first tried it when I was on a 20hr fast and it was at 83 then after I ate I tested it again at 2hrs and it was at 87 then when I woke up it was about 23hrs into my fast it was at 74 then I ate and withing 10 minutes after I ate it was 90 then I checked it again at 30 minutes it was at 83 and at 2hrs after eating it was still at 83. I have to say this keto and fasting sure works but I've been doing healthy keto. All grass-fed grass finished beef and even my pork products are grass-fed and not fed hormones or anything unnatural and have no nitrates or sugars in them. I buy soy free eggs pastor raised and I cut out all grains and everyday I make a lettuce smoothie with 153g of romaine lettuce that is made through hydroponics and is natural as you can get it with unsweetened almond milk and 8 grams of chocolate protein powder for just the flavor. I would assume with the numbers I'm reading I would have to say my liver is on a good track to healing and my insulin resistance must have fixed itself. Definitely feel calm all day long. Thank you Dr Berg.
