What was said

"In fact, especially on low carb diets, you'll hear people talk about the keto flu or low carb flu where they feel like terrible. It's because they need more sodium. Has nothing to do with the low carbs."

An unidentified Mind Pump host argues that dizziness or feeling unwell in a calorie deficit, especially when carbs drop, may be eased by increasing sodium. He claims so-called “keto flu” symptoms are caused by low sodium rather than low carbohydrate intake.
