In this podcast, we’re going to talk about keto and pulse rate. I’m going to answer why you might experience a high pulse rate on keto.

What causes high pulse rate on keto?

1. Low potassium

This can happen if you:

• Are not consuming enough vegetables

• You’re consuming too much sugar

• You’re taking diuretics

* Take electrolyte powder

2. Low vitamin B1

This can happen if you:

• Are consuming too much grain

• Are consuming too much sugar

• You’re on metformin

*Take nutritional yeast

3. Gallbladder

This can happen if you:

• Are still adapting to consuming fats and oils on keto

* Cut down on some of the fats you’re consuming

0:00.0	So if you guys have any questions whatsoever about keto or in a minute fasting,
0:04.4	whether you're starting keto as a new person or just need to debug your program or we have a question about a product.

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. I wanted to create this quick video on a question someone had, why did Kito spike my heart
0:50.0	rate?
0:51.4	So let's just go through this. Normally if your pulse rate is higher, it's because you have low
0:56.4	potassium and that could come from eating too much sugar or actually taking too much salt,
1:02.4	which indirectly lowers the potassium because
1:04.5	potassium calms the heart down or let's say you're taking diuretics that could
1:10.5	deplete your potassium or you're not consuming enough vegetables.
1:14.7	So potassium is like the most important thing for regulation of heart rate.
1:18.8	The other thing is if you're deficient in potassium, it can cause the heart to work harder and it can make a pounding sound you can even
1:25.7	hear it in your ear and that usually comes from consuming a lot of carbohydrates or sugar
1:30.8	or something like that so this could be the reason why your heart rate is low and
1:34.8	then you would just want to take electrolyte powder, consume more vegetables, stop the sugar.
1:40.6	You could consume more salt as you have more potassium, but if you have low potassium, you don't want to eat a lot of salt because you want to look at the ratio.
1:49.6	Those ratios are actually more important than even the total amounts.
1:53.0	And of course, the diuretics, you have to get with your doctor on that point.
1:57.0	The next reason is you have low vitamin B1, because you're consuming too much sugar or grains, or you're on that form in which depletes B1 by the way,
2:06.0	in which case you need to take nutritional yeast and that should bring the heart rate down.
2:11.0	There's one last thing, the gallbladder.
2:13.9	When you start keto, you're doing more fats.
