Evaluation Basics Part 3

Take Dr. Berg’s Body Type Quiz: http://bit.ly/BodyTypeQuiz

hey it’s me again in this video we’re going to talk about evaluation this is another example of how to evaluate evaluation means to analyze the data to find a reason why something is occurring so this is a 71-year-old female she gave me all her data and we’re going to go through each piece of data and just kind of go up and down and see if we can make sense out of it see if it relates see if it Associates for the reason of finding the root cause um typically the mistake of evaluation is to treat effects individually and not try to understand the effects so number one she craves sweets that could come from a low potassium that can come from an insulin problem um many things but here’s number two drinks one and a half gallon of milk a week so that kind of jumps out that’s a lot of milk she drinks so and then we have urinary frequency um that can come from menopausal symptoms it can also come from other things which I’ll get to uh spider veins that is a um it’s a vitamin C deficieny but you can’t fix it by taking a scorc acid that’s what people think is Vitamin C that’s just the antioxidant portion you have to have the whole vitamin C complex uh especially the um B flavonoids okay so that’s because bof flavonoids that’s part of the vitamin C complex helps to maintain the Integrity of the vessel and the collagen but we’ll come back to that okay takes vitamin D and calcium probably because she has osteoporosis but she has bone pain here history of kidney stones that’s a calcium issue it could be other things too a pH issue uh Bright Lights bother her um that is a vitamin A deficiency so again I’m kind of thinking out loud as we go through this uh feet fall asleep all right that can be peripheral neuropathy that’s like a diabetic thing with a lot of insulin issues or it could be a circulation issue and there’s other causes as well and then we have anxiety osteoporosis high blood pressure okay hot flashes night sweats mood swings hysterctomy 1995 fibroids and then choose pear shaped so this is estrogen stiffness and terrible sleep so so here’s the first thing I’m going to do I’m going to scan and kind of see if two of these or more of these start connecting uh one of the things that stands out is this milk thing right here now that’s a lot of calcium so she’s getting a ton of calcium she’s taking calcium okay and vitamin D increases the absorption of calcium by 22 times so it increases calcium in the blood okay and then but she still has osteoporosis all right now one of the symptoms of falling asleep uh or numbness in the feet is something called hyper calcemia what does that mean it means a lot of calcium in the blood too much calcium in the blood so now this one does relate to high calcium that’s interesting so that’s one thing that it could be more associated with because this aligns with that now taking vitamin D and calcium that also aligns with too much calcium anxiety is another symptom of hyper calcemia high blood pressure now that could come from many things could be adrenal but let’s pretend that there’s high calcium in the arteries well what guess what that’s going to do it’s going to calcify the arteries arteriosclerosis plaing in the arteries boom that relates to hypercalcemia uh urinary frequency would also relate to hypercalcemia kidneys Stones would relate to hyper calcemia okay so now one thing about hypercalcemia there’s high calcium in the blood but it doesn’t mean that it’s going into the bone so of course she has osteoporosis because it’s not being directed to the Bone but bone pain is a symptom of hyper calcemia you could look it up so here’s what I’m seeing that she’s having she has a lot too much calcium when you take vitamin D and I didn’t ask her how much she’s taking but if she’s taking a lot of vitamin D and a lot of calcium uh she’s going to get symptoms of heart problems because that calcium is going to plug everything up what what she’s missing and what kind of stands out for me um is something to direct the calcium into the bone and that’s vitamin K2 so vitamin K2 is what I see that she’s missing the most of um one thing I noticed that I didn’t write down here is she’s on a she’s been on a low fat diet for years well Guess What vitamin K2 is it’s a fat soluble vitamin it comes from butter grass-fed butter grass-fed cheese grass-fed um chickens with the egg yolk grass-fed beef so K2 is what she’s missing so that’s one thing that I’m going to probably recommend to start taking this immediately and stop drinking this milk and the calcium start taking the K2 to start to drive all this calcium into the bone from the blood into the bone that’s the most important thing that she needs help with um now vitamin K2 also is a fat Cy of vitamin so the other thing that I would probably want to get more data on is number two uh does she have a gallbladder does she have n bile because another thing that’s in the back of my mind if she has bright light uh problems like at night that’s a vitamin A deficiency that’s a fat cyal vitamin so I’m like why does she have that that’s I don’t know why that is so I started asking about the gallbladder if she has enough bile because it could be if she doesn’t have enough bile that’s that could be why she’s not absorbing any fat CYO vitamin especially if she’s been in a history of a lowfat diet so we might want to give her little bios salts uh to absorb the vitamin fat cyal vitamins and get the K2 in there so she can start to drive out this calcium and then work with her doctor to uh adjust this medication because if she didn’t have calcium in the arteries the blood pressure is going to come Down the Bones will start getting solid these symptoms will start improving so that’s the thing that’s the most important uh hot flashes night sweats loot swings now this is interesting she’s had these symptoms since 1975 after she had the fibroid out so the other thing that I’m thinking fibroid if we take it back earlier fibroids um are a tumor and tumors grow with various hormones that are called anabolic hormones they make things grow uh two of the hormones is estrogen and Insulin so I would probably ask her history of her diet if it was like a lot of sugar in the past if it wasn’t I would ask her about estrogen and I already know based on her history that she’s been on premim which is an estrogen U replacement for a many many many years okay so that’s probably why she has the fibroid and then she removed it but see when you take out when you do a hysterctomy you have a backup organ that has to then do double the work and that’s the adrenals so these symptoms are really adrenal related so she really has two issues that have to be dealt with but this stuff here if supported with the adrenal support those will probably improve uh and then of course the parir shape that’s an estrogen thing and then one last thing well two things one is stiffness well that’s that’s calcium in the in the soft tissues terrible sleep well if you’re not going to get calcium you’re not going to be able to relax again that like everything here aligns with this one problem so that’s pretty much how I evaluate and how other people should evaluate and not just jump and start treating everything separately all right so I’ll see you in the next video
