In this video, Dr. Berg talks about higher levels of BUN (blood urea nitrogen) on a ketogenic diet. When you get a urine test, BUN is one of the tests that you will see. This represents the protein waste (urea) that is not being dealt with properly by the liver. There are a few common causes. And of course, there are rarer causes too, which I am not going to talk about. But this video is about developing higher BUN right after doing keto.

CHECK FOR THESE ISSUES:
1. Excessive exercise without recovery
2. Not enough vegetables (dandelion greens are great)
3. Low thyroid
4. Damage to the kidneys
5. Damage to the liver
6. High protein diets
