I’ve never encountered a surgeon with the amount of class and humility you express. The world needs mor physicians like you. The kind that truly heal and keep us healthy. Thank you, doctor!
Yup! I couldn't agree more with you. I spread the word on intelligent Doctors in the world and guess who is on the top of my list right up there with Dr. Eric Berg and of course Violet Reveira 'Health and Wellness' is, you've got that right! CarbAddictionDoc, Dr. Cywes #1!!
Thanks to the good doctor, more and more physicians are realizing that new data is coming in at a rapid pace. What they learned in school is no longer accurate or relevant.
“Stop blaming salt for what the sugar did” has been one of my biggest learnings on my journey to improve my blood pressure and psoriasis. I appreciate you so much!!!!
I’m just coming off a McDonald ways of eating. High carb. No oil. No salt. I am always with swollen ankles and puffiness all over. Always thought it was just because I’m hypothyroid. Thank you.
I have lived my entire life near Vancouver Canada. The water supply is from Coquitlam Lake . It is very soft water due to the huge amount of rainfall we get here. The WHO says it is the best drinking water in the world. They use very low amounts of chlorine compared to most water systems. The problem is soft water has very low mineral content. I started adding Keto Chow electrolyte drops three years ago and have notice much less water retention in old severe injury sites. Spot on Doc, thanks for all you do and be well.
I moved to alberta and grew up in the lower mainland as well. I think Capilano was the source. BC water is mostly snow pack. Alberta water is hard. I couldn't get used to it Had to install an RO and whole house carbon block. I now add a few drops of liquid aussie minerals now since carnivore.
My father warned me about drinking distilled water or giving it to animals. He called it hungry water because it pulled electrolytes out of you rather than regular water that supplied electrolytes.
I’ve been keto for over four years. Lately I learned more about electrolytes, so thank you!! I use LMNT electrolyte packets in my water. I also add a pinch of pink Himalayan salt and powdered potassium to almost all my drinks. Just a tiny bit. I never realized we need 4,700 mg if potassium daily. We get some from food but not enough, so adding it to my drinks helps.
I’ve started drinking chicken broth with collagen once a day to take the place of an evening cup of decaf. A little bit of “better than broth” in a steaming cup of water does the trick. Thanks Doc!
Outstanding info!!!! I’m keto…. I went on a cruise…. Ate carbs and got SO bloated. Now it makes sense! I lost the bloat in about2 days when I got back on track.
I'm originally from a very large farm in Alberta. I liked the water we had from a well. It was from a deep underground source. Very clean and pure tasting water. Cheers!
Growing up in South Florida, we had well water, and it was high in iron and sulfur among other things. As kids we would drink out of the hose in the backyard if we were playing and wanted a drink.
My coffee is barely coffee. 5g VitaCup Mineral coffee; 2 cups drip brewed. 20g Pure Bovine Gelatin powder. 10g Hydrolyzed Collagen; I to X. 10g Pure Heavy Cream Powder. Coffee is the only thing adding flavor. No sweeteners other than incidental carbs in the creamer.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the link between cortisol and insulin and how prolonged high stress can interfere with weight loss, even if eating 100% on plan.
I've bingeing your videos and I really appreciate the information. Will you pls quantify the "small amount" of electrolytes that you suggest adding to our daily water?
Thank you very much, and all natural doctors who are now becoming connected with patients, and not herding them into a corral.Thank you for the hours of research you inform us of!
Good advice. I grew up drinking water out of the hose and licking salt blocks in my horse's pasture because I thought it tasted good... Lol even with a little horse saliva dried on it
@@tracyd2598 Yes , my immune system has always been pretty solid despite having insulin resistance. I get a mild cold that last 36 hrs or less about every 5 yrs.
I don't buy electrolytes, I add salt to food and I buy only magnesium. For potassium I eat avocados. Also in the meat and fish, sea food that I eat there is some potassium. Electrolytes products are very expensive and the ingredients are usually low quality
I have wondered why our dog always liked licking the porch steps and patio when they were wet from morning dew or rain. We wanted her to drink "clean" tap water, but she wanted minerals, just as cattle go for a salt-lick.
I add 1 satchet salt to 1.5 litre Aldi mineral water, ( as I found the medication made me thirsty ,3 to 4 litres water )Most days ok, some days the salt enriched water seems to contribute to hunger hormone, but now I drink 1.5 litres with salt . I do OMAD , low carb, plus month 2 of 30 mg daily phentomine, lost 16 kg, 5 weeks. Started 114 kg, and consumed 30 cans 4.8% alcohol beer over every weekend. Now zero beer, only water.
Yes! I totally agree with your assessment of sugar taking in more volume of water into our tissues! Yikes! This also does the same thing to our brains!! Being a life time Diabetic has given me this experience! My doc has told me to stop taking any salt which I know is false! I feel like have to be one step ahead of my doctor all the time, as she doesn't believe in the carnivore way of eating and she doesn't believe that I can have normal glucose levels... In fact her direct quote was was, *that's impossible!, you're crazy to think that!" Then I told her how I'm part of a type 1 grit group on FB and that many people are accomplishing this very thing! She walked out of the room shaking her head ... She herself also is a type 2 diabetic and wears a glucose monitor yet doesn't know how to even treat herself. It's remarkable to me how doctors think they know it all, and hey, I get it! You have to be somewhat confident to enter into the medical field and you have to get your s*** together, and memorize and study, and research! The amount of work and money it costs to do this kind of work is remarkable! I myself wanted to become a doctor but I simply couldn't afford the cost and I found out that medical schools only use the, "Gold Standard" which if you go against this, then often one can lose their license to practice medicine, it's part of the deal, and that I had to follow what the medical schools taught even if that advice was poor or caused harm to the patient! I had many friends who are nurse practitioners, physicians, nutritionists, and they all said the same thing there's no way out of this crisis that the medical field teaches! Yet, I see you teach here and you really give out sound advice you've helped me out a lot I appreciate your work!! You're one of the best thank you! 😎♥️🦓
Hi Dr Cywes...I'd love your thoughts on Dr Berg's recent video on distilled water. The way he explains it doesn't sound like a bad thing, when you can just add the electrolytes back in yourself as you say.
I follow DR Cywes advice as strictly as possible and appreciate the advice immensely. Before carnivore I did a keto diet that included fruit especially lemons/juice. I then decided that carnivore would be even healthier. I believe lemon esp the peel is beneficial and pleased it is allowed according to this video. Is lemon ok to take diluted during my 16 hour fasting or does it need to be taken in my eating "window". Many Thanks.
Hi Doc… our family has a large Berky water filter … we add LMNT to our individual water bottles ( yeti stainless steel) no plastic …what’s your thoughts on that filtered water brand . Love you and your adorable family . Keep safe and healthy …☀️☀️☀️
@DR. CYWES Which type(s) of Magnesium do you recommend ? (as different types benefit different organ/funtions, and some have a higher absorption ratio than others) thank you for another great video and thank you in advance for your reply
I had really terrible leg cramps at night, and tried many things, but nothing worked. On a video, Dr. Westman from Duke Weight Loss Center, said for leg cramps, take a 1/2 teaspoon of milk of magnesia. I did. My leg cramps are gone. WOW!!! The label on the bottle says only take this for 2 weeks. In very small doses, can I take this longer than 2 weeks. The relief from cramps is amazing.
Your talk reminded me of when I was a boy and my father told my brother and myself that if we could see frogs or fish living in a spring or creek then it was safe to drink from. He must have been right because I have drank a lot of fresh spring water and a fair amount of crick water. I still have a shallow well and the water tastes a hell of a lot better than the over purified crap that most of the local municipalities have.
This makes me wonder why my mom was told to limit salt and she had congestive heart failure… same was told to my father-in-law… little to no salt. Both of them passed.
My Grandpa had rheumatoid arthritis and developed congestive heart failure over time. He was told no salt but never listened to his Dr on that because he knew he felt better when he ate it. He also raised excellent steak and always ate the fat. If only he had left the jelly and rolls and potatoes alone he may have had a much better quality of life. But he is in Heaven now where all of his ailments are gone! 😊
I've been drinking distilled water for over 10 years and it reversed my poor eyesight. I no longer need to wear eyeglasses. Distilled water is the only pure water we should be drinking. All the minerals in spring water are inorganic and can not be used by the body. I agree that salt / electrolytes are important and I do consume salt regularly.
I just started making and drinking distilled water about a month ago. I add a tsp of sole to it… which is basically salt water. I really like it so far.
I'm addicted to Coke Zero. From what I've read aspartame doesn't cause a blood glucose reaction but can cause an insulin reaction. There are conflicting opinions on this. It also causes kidney stones in ppl that are kidney stone producers, which I am. I only drink water and diet soda, not coffee or tea, so it makes it even harder for me to give up. My solution, and only time will tell if it helps, is to drink a glass of water before and after each diet soda to dilute it in my kidneys. Luckily for me I drink a ton of water so it's not difficult to consume this much. I have also read that aspartame is one of the most highly studied food additives and from what i can tell science has yet to find proof that it causes any type of cancer despite many ppl believing it does. Years ago my specialist, head of internal medicine at the hospital, said it breaks down in the body into 2 harmless parts. After bariatric surgery 7 years ago my surgeon told me the only thing they've found is that at the end of the day ppl who drink diet soda often consume more calories than those that don't. Good luck!
Artificial sweeteners are worse than the real stuff. Avoid high fructose corn syrup as well. Stevia, monk fruit and other sugar substitutes just prolong addiction. Go cold turkey with carbonated water if you care about your health.
I bought my first one gallon water distiller in San Diego almost 30 years ago from a Sears store. We are now on our second large distiller which is totally automatic in our garage. It's got a 12 gallon holding tank with a one gallon boiling chamber and that's all I drink or make coffee and other beverages with. YIKES. I'll be ordering my electrolytes today to add to my distilled water. Is this enough or do I ditch it?
Great video. I have access to get water from a spring. Do you have any opinions about whether I should purify this at all in some way or do testing on it? Thank you
Is there a type of electrolyte that won’t break ketosis? What is YOUR preferred brand/type? We have well water (which goes through a water softener) currently…
Don't fear that nonsense...eating some sand/dirt has benefits as well. Drink stream water with animal waste as well like our ancestors to get a really healthy gut biome.
Been carnivore for 5 mos, still dealing with chronic diarrhoea that pre-dates going carnivore. Can consuming excess salt and electrolytes cause colon to absorb water and lead to diarrhoea? I consume salt in all food. Any suggestions. Healthy otherwise
With reference to what you said at 10:52, just wanted to share that in our religion (Islam) it is said a person acquires and should acquire knowledge from cradle to grave. When getting knowledge age is not a factor, many times you get valuable information from someone who is years younger than you, or maybe when you consult with a younger person (even if he/she is a child) on any matter, you might get an answer to your query indirectly which might click something in your brain.
I have some electrolyte powder. It says to use one scoop. Now if I am drinking it throughout the day would it be all right to cut it down to i/4 of a scoop per glass?
I went carnivore cold turkey and after 1 month I ended up in the ER with severe dehydration.😬I was shocked because I drank plenty of water and I use salt (a lot in the opinion of some doctors) .What do you think that was a problem?Maybe because I did it cold turkey and I shocked my body?
I’m on carnivore now for about 2 weeks. I was looking into electrolytes and how to supplement or if I need to. I read that we need 3500-4700 mg potassium daily. And now that I’m not eating any vegetables, I’m not getting enough. And I have been eating just one meal a day. I calculated based on weight of what I ate and there’s not much potassium…not close to the 3500 mg. Is it safe to supplement potassium citrate up to the recommended amount?
I’d like to do more of a keto diet than carnivore as I am coming away from serious food addiction/plant based eating and bingeing. But my kidneys didn’t respond too well to the carnivore eating. Not sure what I did wrong. I want to keep some veggies in. Any suggestions so I can make it work?
I cannot have salt. I am on a water pill because I have so much swelling. Extra salt makes my hands ankles and face swell. I am carnivore and I use only salt hardly any other spices and I like electrolytes I just can’t do it. My face is so puffy the next day and my hands I would like to know what to do
@@robertcywes2966 ya. Tell me lol. I wish it wasn’t me. By the way I have occlusive dvt. It’s part of my issue. I’m 64. I was 49 when I got it. Due to birth control and a trip.
Thank you for this video! I've been trying to sort how much to drink and how best to get electrolytes.What is your recommendation on amount of water to drink? Love from Vermont
@@robertcywes2966 I don't always know if I'm really thirsty.I have a problem with leg cramps and I know drinking water is really important. How do I know if I am drinking too much or too little? Thank you for your help. Love from Vermont
I'm keto / carnivore for a while now.. I have hard stools.and take magnesium but also had palpitations one morning and thought it could be electrolytes imbalance. I bought some lmnt powder but it's so salty and makes me more thirsty . It has a lot more salt than other electrolytes. I'm also always very fatigued. I'm 59
Make sure it's ancient sea salt. Modern sea salt is one of highest sources of microplastics in the human diet. Unfortunately the sea is full of plastic. 😓
How much potassium do you suggest we take, Dr. Cywes? Another UA-cam doctor (chiropractor) says we need 4x as much potassium as salt in our diet and that, if we're doing keto, we should take 1 tsp of pink or sea salt per day. Thanks for all your videos.
Dr. Cywes, does it matter if I consume my allotted 1.50 teaspoons of salt all at once, or should I be spreading it out during the day? In addition, I drink one scoop of Relyte per day, as well. Best regards, an happy, grateful patient. ❤️
I'm not a doctor don't claim to be. I've been eating beef, butter bacon and eggs exclusively for six weeks. I'm going for ninety days. I check my blood pressure several times a day. I also consume at least four grams of salt per day. My salt intake has absolutely no negative effect on my blood pressure. Shortly after quitting eating all carbohydrates my blood pressure went to a average of 113/70
@@sneezingwithwetmascara8848 this may explain my issue. Every time I’ve had a glass of water with an individual packet of Re-Lyte on a day I’ve had a lot of salt on my steaks, I get diarrhea. I’m ruining my carnivore streak many times because if I have to leave house, then I have to eat some veggie carbs to slow down the diarrhea. Also get a headache when I use the Re-Lyte.
@@sandraolson8635 If you're new to carnivore... You just have diarrhea the first week. I don't know your situation, but i think it's common in the beginning and then goes to normal.

Since adding electrolytes, so many aspects of my body, functioning, brain, etc. have improved. I never thought that they could make such a difference.
I have lived my entire life near Vancouver Canada. The water supply is from Coquitlam Lake . It is very soft water due to the huge amount of rainfall we get here.

My father warned me about drinking distilled water or giving it to animals. He called it hungry water because it pulled electrolytes out of you rather than regular water that supplied electrolytes.
exactly
Well you get salt and electrolytes from your diet
When you make that pot of coffee sprinkle a little mineral salt over the grounds.
I do that too. My dad taught me that because he said it enhanced the flavor. He had no knowledge about nutrition.
Yes, it cuts bitterness in the coffee too. I do it every day.
Salted butter for me

Hi Just a word of caution to be careful with pink himalayan salt as it contains many harmful toxins, it is safer to use table salt.
I’ve started drinking chicken broth with collagen once a day to take the place of an evening cup of decaf. A little bit of “better than broth” in a steaming cup of water does the trick. Thanks Doc!

RO filter (to remove toxins such as PFAS/PFOS etc) then after the RO add a alkalinity filter that adds back magnesium, calcium and potassium.

hey Cheryl
I've been using Redmond Relyte. It has Stevia in it. I feel that Stevia is a trigger for me, making me want more and more. Possible?
Stevia is garbage. It's a common GI flare for alot of people
Very possible. It still affects your dopamine receptors giving you a “hit” so you crave another “hit”, carbs would quickly meet that addictive craving
Absolute trigger
Relyte makes an unflavored version if you want to try that.
possible, but no huge harm
I was literally just talking about you ! ❤️

testing if u can. bugs, heavy metals and electrolytes....the enjoy
@@robertcywes2966 Thank you!
What's the difference between electrolytes and Redmonds salt? Are they the same? Thx
Redmond salt is just salt, unless you get their electrolytes. Electrolytes have sodium, potassium, etc.
@@tracyd2598 Doesn't Redmond salt have sodium, potassium etc? It's mined from the Utah lake bed with all those minerals.
Distilled water is good to leech undesired elements out of the system and later use electrolytes to replenish the desired elements.
Well done doc! Usualy a surgeon ask the anesthesiologist how to handle water and electrolytes, not You! :)
Is there a type of electrolyte that won’t break ketosis? What is YOUR preferred brand/type? We have well water (which goes through a water softener) currently…
none break ketosis...redmond
My hubby and I love LMNT. It’s a high quality electrolyte packet that you dump into water. Yum
Be aware of sand in redmonds salt
Don't fear that nonsense...eating some sand/dirt has benefits as well. Drink stream water with animal waste as well like our ancestors to get a really healthy gut biome.
Sand is fine to consume in small quantities.
sand is fine
@@robertcywes2966 sleep is good for you too, doc
Been carnivore for 5 mos, still dealing with chronic diarrhoea that pre-dates going carnivore. Can consuming excess salt and electrolytes cause colon to absorb water and lead to diarrhoea? I consume salt in all food. Any suggestions. Healthy otherwise
How much electrolytes is a average amount to intake in a day ? “Small amount” is unclear to me ? I will watch Sheryl’s video too thanks
Needs differ. depending on ambient temp and humidity, exercise, bg etc. typically 3 to 5 g per day of salt
Hey doc what do you think or deterium in water and it's affect on the body?
deuterium depleted water...wallet biopsy imho
With reference to what you said at 10:52, just wanted to share that in our religion (Islam) it is said a person acquires and should acquire knowledge from cradle to grave. When getting knowledge age is not a factor, many times you get valuable information from someone who is years younger than you, or maybe when you consult with a younger person (even if he/she is a child) on any matter, you might get an answer to your query indirectly which might click something in your brain.
I have some electrolyte powder. It says to use one scoop. Now if I am drinking it throughout the day would it be all right to cut it down to i/4 of a scoop per glass?
I went carnivore cold turkey and after 1 month I ended up in the ER with severe dehydration.😬I was shocked because I drank plenty of water and I use salt (a lot in the opinion of some doctors) .What do you think that was a problem?Maybe because I did it cold turkey and I shocked my body?
Did you happen to have any muscle cramps or lethargy prior to that?
Distilled water will leech out bad stuff just like it does on a dialysis machine.
dialysate has lots of electrolytes on the other side of the membrane
I’m on carnivore now for about 2 weeks. I was looking into electrolytes and how to supplement or if I need to. I read that we need 3500-4700 mg potassium daily. And now that I’m not eating any vegetables, I’m not getting enough. And I have been eating just one meal a day. I calculated based on weight of what I ate and there’s not much potassium…not close to the 3500 mg. Is it safe to supplement potassium citrate up to the recommended amount?
I’d like to do more of a keto diet than carnivore as I am coming away from serious food addiction/plant based eating and bingeing. But my kidneys didn’t respond too well to the carnivore eating. Not sure what I did wrong. I want to keep some veggies in. Any suggestions so I can make it work?
Lots more water and higher fat.
reduce protein to 1.75 g / kg body weight
I cannot have salt. I am on a water pill because I have so much swelling. Extra salt makes my hands ankles and face swell. I am carnivore and I use only salt hardly any other spices and I like electrolytes I just can’t do it. My face is so puffy the next day and my hands I would like to know what to do
that sounds very upside down
@@robertcywes2966 ya. Tell me lol. I wish it wasn’t me. By the way I have occlusive dvt. It’s part of my issue. I’m 64. I was 49 when I got it. Due to birth control and a trip.
Thank you for this video! I've been trying to sort how much to drink and how best to get electrolytes.What is your recommendation on amount of water to drink? Love from Vermont
to thirst. watch Sheryl's video
@@robertcywes2966 I don't always know if I'm really thirsty.I have a problem with leg cramps and I know drinking water is really important. How do I know if I am drinking too much or too little? Thank you for your help. Love from Vermont
I'm keto / carnivore for a while now.. I have hard stools.and take magnesium but also had palpitations one morning and thought it could be electrolytes imbalance. I bought some lmnt powder but it's so salty and makes me more thirsty . It has a lot more salt than other electrolytes. I'm also always very fatigued. I'm 59
We use Keto Chow Electrolytes.
it's likeky more than just salt
Why potassium in a small quantity? If your adding extra salt in ketosis shouldn't the potassium be 3 to 4 times as much as whatever your sodium is?
yup
GO CARNIVORE, SIR!!
Brawndo.
What kind of salt, is Sea salt fine or Himalayan salt.
Pink Himalayan apparently
pink Himalayan is mined with explosives and slave labor. Use Maldon or Redmond
Make sure it's ancient sea salt. Modern sea salt is one of highest sources of microplastics in the human diet. Unfortunately the sea is full of plastic. 😓
Any of them available at Walmart, Aldi stores
@@daduyar5520 ask your phone...I get them from amazon
How much potassium do you suggest we take, Dr. Cywes? Another UA-cam doctor (chiropractor) says we need 4x as much potassium as salt in our diet and that, if we're doing keto, we should take 1 tsp of pink or sea salt per day. Thanks for all your videos.
about 3 to 5 g salt
@@robertcywes2966 Thanks very much for your reply.
Dr. Cywes, does it matter if I consume my allotted 1.50 teaspoons of salt all at once, or should I be spreading it out during the day? In addition, I drink one scoop of Relyte per day, as well. Best regards, an happy, grateful patient. ❤️
I'm not a doctor don't claim to be. I've been eating beef, butter bacon and eggs exclusively for six weeks. I'm going for ninety days. I check my blood pressure several times a day. I also consume at least four grams of salt per day. My salt intake has absolutely no negative effect on my blood pressure. Shortly after quitting eating all carbohydrates my blood pressure went to a average of 113/70
Too much salt at once can cause diarrhea... if you try it, do it on your day at home
@@sneezingwithwetmascara8848 this may explain my issue. Every time I’ve had a glass of water with an individual packet of Re-Lyte on a day I’ve had a lot of salt on my steaks, I get diarrhea. I’m ruining my carnivore streak many times because if I have to leave house, then I have to eat some veggie carbs to slow down the diarrhea. Also get a headache when I use the Re-Lyte.
better to spread it out
@@sandraolson8635 If you're new to carnivore... You just have diarrhea the first week. I don't know your situation, but i think it's common in the beginning and then goes to normal.
I drink water only when I'm very thirsty, and only a little. I think the body makes all the water it needs. I might be wrong.
