In this podcast, Dr. Berg answers the question "Can a frail senior parent do intermittent fasting?"

CONS

• If your parent is thin, you don’t want them to lose weight

PROS

• Neurogenesis

• Increase Stem Cells

• Extend Life

Do a version of intermittent fasting that doesn’t restrict the calories. Calculate the calories and push it into two meals or less frequent without reducing the calories. Make sure that the fat is high enough to prevent weight loss.

The key is to keep their calorie intake high which also means to keep the fat higher. Add fermented vegetables because it is very important for the elderly to start establishing the flora and getting the pH correct. Vitamin K2 is vital as well because it helps remove calcification as we age. It also improves and strengthens the output of the mitochondria.

Recommended K2: 100mg – 10,000IUs of vitamin D (MK7 version)

Stomach Support: Betaine Hydrochloride or Apple Cider Vinegar

0:29.0	Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Kito and Interminute fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So I'm reading through all my comments. I'm getting some great questions and I'm creating
0:48.3	videos based on the questions. So I had a question. Someone would know, can a frail senior parent do intermittent fasting?
0:56.0	Okay? So let's just answer that. There's some pros and cons, of course, if they're very, very thin,
1:02.0	the concern is you don't want to lose weight.
1:04.0	But what about all the amazing benefits?
1:06.0	Neurogenesis, you actually regrow your brain cells, increasing stem cell, extend your life. It's real simple. You do a version of
1:16.6	intimate fasting that doesn't restrict your calories, okay? So if you actually calculate how many calories your parent has, okay, and you
1:27.7	just push them to two meals less frequent without reducing the calories, maybe even making sure that the fat is high enough
1:35.8	to prevent any actual weight loss because then what will happen is the body is going to start

1:45.0	would prevent this okay but then we can get the benefits of this so I would work
1:51.5	towards having them eat the first meal at 11 o'clock in the late morning and the next meal at 6 and absolutely no snacks in between or at night.
2:02.0	That'll give you a nice fasting period to see some really good benefits and then go from there.
2:09.1	The key is keeping your calories high or the same as you were in the three meals and snacks, not dipping
2:17.5	down, which usually means you got to keep the fat higher.
2:21.1	I would also recommend fermented vegetables, okay? Very, very important for someone
2:26.7	that is elderly just to start re-establishing the flora and getting the pH correct.
2:31.6	Vitamin K2 is vital as well because as someone ages,
2:37.0	they tend to calcify.
