hey guys Dr Berg here in this video I want to talk about the number one brain Focus tip if you have any lack of focus or brain fog this video is for you and has to do with something that’s related to blood sugars okay when the blood sugars go high you have a whole series of symptoms okay that relate to cognitive function in your brain when the blood sugars go low you have a whole series of additional symptoms that can occur let’s just kind of talk about the difference for so high blood sugar and that would be mainly diabetics or pre-diabetics um brain fog headaches loss of memory and focus Vision issues your vision starts going absent mindedness um things like um you go in a room and you’re like okay what did I go in here for drowsy that’s for high sugar mainly it’s going to be sleepy though you’re going to like want to take a nap and and uh try to go to school try to study when your when your blood sugars are high it’s almost impossible and then we have low blood sugars and even diabetics they can have high and low depending on if they’re taking their medication it drops too low okay low blood sugars forgetfulness anxiety from worry to panic attacks nervous irritable highly critical restlessness depression confusion OCD I would venture to say over 50% of the mental disorders that a lot of psychiatrists use are related to blood sugars but they never look at the blood sugar issue at all instead you put on a medication unfortunately but it really does affect the brain because the brain needs uh fuel okay it could run on sugar fuel it can also run on ketones we’ll get into that in a second but the point is this blood sugar issues are related to consuming too much sugar that’s one thing consuming too much refined carbohydrate um the worst advice for a diabetic or anyone for that matter is to have five small meals a day and spread out and have snacks because every time you eat you spike insulin so insulin is the issue and there’s a condition called insulin resistance if you watch my videos you you pretty much know all about it if you don’t click the link below because that’s very important but here’s a here’s an interesting situation you you see these commercials um uh people being tired and consuming a an energy drink or a Snickers bar all you’re doing is you’re temporarily for a minute spiking and then boom you end up with brain fog maybe five minutes later so what happens is over time when you do that is you have this this blood sugar that um the door that opens the blood sugar into the brain is insulin so that’s the hormone that regulates that sugar and over time that door becomes resistant to Sugar so it need it takes more and more and more sugar to create that effect and so in other words your body is resisting it so basically consuming sugar starves your body of sugar fuel over time okay and it takes 10 years for a pre-diabetic or insulin resistant client to turn into a diabetic so this can happen below the radar for many many years the problem in the medical community is that they don’t really recognize uh Hy glycemia for example unless it shows up on a blood test and they’re mainly using several tests like um a fasting glucose test well what they should do is check uh a fasting insulin test which is a lot better and that’s going to show the subclinical issues because we want to know what’s happening to that insulin okay now here’s the point the point is over time um your brain becomes um less sharp uh more foggy and it becomes more sensitive to sugar and you might not connect the dots at first you’re just going along and you’re eating the regular things and you’re you’re wondering why you’re just you’re losing your cognitive function so I’m going to show you what to do to get it back and fast it’s the simplest thing but you really need to realize that it is a blood sugar problem even though it might not show up on a blood test and and that’s probably why when you eat sugar you feel better temporarily but then then you crash and burn so we we constantly are trying to raise the sugar up when it’s kind of coming down um but your brain would be much better if it ran on a different fuel source and uh it’s called ketones and to do that you have to consume you actually have to drop your your sugars way way down as close to zero as possible actual added sugar and things like that um and you would cons compensate by adding a little bit more fat but over time the the consumption of excess sugar and refined carbs will decrease oxygen to the brain okay so that’s probably one of the reasons also why when you exercise you might feel better with your blood sugars because you got this surge of oxygen and also it helps to temporarily kind of adjust your blood sugars also the the brain becomes atrophied gets smaller over time with too much sugar I mean what do they feed you in the hospitals it’s all sugar right it’s just it’s insane um when I broke my shoulder when I fractured my shoulder uh I was in the hospital and you can’t eat before surgery um for a period of time so I was literally starving and uh so I get the surgery and then I am I wake up and I am just so hungry and of course what do they have Jello crackers yogurt with sugar I mean I just ate it and man did I have a crash after that blood sugar crash so I’m looking at this uh situation ation it’s just like no wonder uh people um have a lot of issues with going to the hospital and trying to get healthy right now um here we go atrophy and then starvation so basically sugar starves your brain of fuel of sugar over time because you’ll develop a condition called insulin resistance okay so that’s that is what what’s going on so what what you want to do is you you must do several things right off the bat you got to cut out the sugar you have to stop eating sugar okay anything sweet you have to cut it out including honey and agava nectar and all that stuff okay that’s number one number two um stop snacking between meals um so those two things are the most important regardless of what else you ate I mean if you just did those two things You’ probably do very well so what I like to do is in the morning um I don’t eat unless I’m hungry so like this morning I went till 11:00 before I ate breakfast why because if you eat when you’re not hungry you’ll Spike insulin and then all of a sudden it comes down and then guess what you’re going to be hungry again you’re going to be craving sugar again or or just be hungry in general so basically eating creates more hunger so uh 11 so um right now it’s probably around 220 and uh I’m not eating lunch and probably until 4: I’ll probably go till 4: and I’ll have my late lunch I’ll probably just have two meals a day day and my body can do quite well on that but the point is that you don’t want to eat when you’re not hungry and then when you eat have Protein healthy fat I’ll put some links down below with specifics and then you want to do um a lot of greens a lot of salad lot of vegetable things like that you don’t want to do frying grains um also what kills people is the going out to the restaurants too often you go to the restaurant and uh it’s really hard to find food without them bringing the bread last night I went to a restaurant and the first thing they brought was the bread okay and they put it right in front of your face well you’re already going in there a little hungry right so it’s really tempting for a lot of people the bread and then you have the dessert and you have the wine the whole thing uh the point is that it’s very dangerous to go to a restaurant unless your your blood sugars are in control and you don’t have a problem with blood sugars because look it when the blood sugars go low you’re not in your right mind you’re kind of um you’re not going to be as rational you’re not going to be as disciplined so that’s the the the danger of going to a r
