Unlock the secret weapon of the ketogenic diet 🔓👇 If you have insulin resistance (which most of us do!) your brain has trouble burning glucose for energy, so it's not firing on all cylinders. The secret weapon of a well-formulated ketogenic diet is that it lowers insulin levels, which switches fat-burning on and produces ketones to bridge that energy gap. Many of my patients experience welcome improvements in mental clarity, mood, mental stamina, memory, and productivity within days of starting a properly formulated #ketogenic diet. Learn more in Chapter 9 of my book, Change Your Diet, Change Your Mind.

Ketogenic diets in the ICU? The research is beginning to explore it. In a randomized controlled trial of 40 patients with sepsis, investigators tested a medically supervised ketogenic diet during critical illness. All patients in the ketogenic group achieved stable nutritional ketosis, with no serious adverse events attributed to the intervention. After day four, none of the ketogenic patients required insulin — compared to 35–60% of patients in the control group on any given day. The ketogenic group also experienced: • More ventilator-free days • More vasopressor-free days • More dialysis-free days • More ICU-free days Researchers observed signals consistent with reduced immune dysregulation and lower inflammatory signaling — a meaningful finding in a condition defined by metabolic chaos and systemic inflammation. This was a small, early-phase trial. It does not establish standard of care. But it adds to a growing body of evidence that metabolic therapy may have applications beyond chronic disease — including critical care.

Ketones work, and they fuel performance. But so does glucose. So why not have both? The BYU men’s and women’s cross country teams both won the national championship and the lone variable they shared is supplementing with exogenous BHB. Pretty wild. The issue is people think ketone supplementation is just for those on a ketogenic diet, and this couldn’t be further from the truth. While it does help in that application, my thought is that it’s true magic is when added to a non-ketogenic diet. This full podcast with Benjamin Bikman is on the tigerfitness YouTube channel and will blow your mind!

A ketogenic diet doesn’t just help with weight loss. It can drastically increase your odds of surviving one of the world’s deadliest cancers. By “drastic,” we don’t mean a modest improvement. We mean an eight-fold increase in survival. Dr. Shawn Baker explains: “There was a study published last year on brain tumors. About 20 patients. Half did a ketogenic diet, half did not.” “Over three years, 8 percent of the people that did not do the ketogenic diet survived, and 68 percent survived in the keto group.” That’s an eight-fold increase in survival. Baker explains that the mechanism traces back to Otto Warburg’s research: cancer cells preferentially absorb glucose. They feed on sugar. A ketogenic diet deprives cancer cells of their primary fuel source while providing ketones as an alternative energy source for healthy cells. Healthy cells can function just fine, whereas cancer cells starve and die. Dr. Thomas Seyfried of Boston College has been advocating ketogenic diets for cancer patients for years for this very reason. If you or a loved one were diagnosed with cancer today, would a ketogenic diet be part of your plan?

If your parent is showing signs of Alzheimer's and you want to do something about it, put them on the ketogenic diet. This diet puts their body into a state of ketosis, where instead of their brain burning sugar for fuel, it burns fat and produces something called ketones. Ketones become an alternative fuel source for their brains. Most people with Alzheimer's have brain cells that are insulin resistant. It can no longer efficiently pull glucose from the bloodstream for fuel. Even though glucose is available, the insulin delivery system is broken. Brain cells are starving and can no longer power themselves properly, causing brain fog, memory loss, cognitive decline, and even depression. Ketones bypass this broken system entirely. They cross the blood-brain barrier without needing insulin, feeding your brain cells directly. They produce less cellular waste than glucose. And even act as natural antioxidants exactly where your brain needs them most. Here's Dr. Dale Bredesen's ketogenic protocol from his latest clinical trial on Alzheimer's: • Cut simple carbohydrates. • Fast for at least 12 hours overnight. • Plant-rich diet high in healthy fats (a mildly ketogenic diet - best if starting out) 90% of his patients improved following these rules. Some went from impaired cognitive scores to perfect ones. And results were 7x greater than the leading Alzheimer's drugs. The ketogenic diet is one of the protocols families use to treat their parent's Alzheimer's in our online community. More on this in the comments below.

Dr. Annette Bosworth revealed she didn't give her mother chemo when she had cancer. She put her on a strict ketogenic diet instead. And six weeks later, her mother's cancer markers dropped by 70%. Her mother's oncologist was baffled: "How did you get her numbers to drop by 70%? There's no drug on the market that would do that." The science behind it is ketones from the keto or "low-carb" diet. Cancer cells rely heavily on glucose for energy. When you drastically cut carbohydrates, the body switches to ketones for fuel. Healthy cells can use ketones efficiently. Many cancer cells cannot. In Dr. Bosworth's words: "She went from a 70-year-old that looked 100 to a 75-year-old who looked 40." Her mother went back to volunteering, teaching Sunday school, and living her life fully - until COVID took her years later. The ketogenic diet didn't cure her cancer. But it gave her back the years that mattered most. — Dr. Boz on Steven Bartlett's (Steven Bartlett) DOAC podcast

6. Ketogenic Diet. Seyfried advocates for a ketogenic diet: • High-fat • Moderate-protein • Low-carbohydrate This diet shifts the body from using glucose as its primary energy source to burning fat & ketones. Since cancer cells primarily rely on glucose for growth... Limiting glucose starves cancer cells & supports metabolic health. Foods you'd consume on this diet: • Nuts • Olive oil • Avocados • Low-carb vegetables • Lean proteins (Ex. fish)

Cancer’s fuel is glucose + glutamine. Starve both → tumors choke and die. Thomas Seyfried: “We have not found a single tumor that can survive without glucose and glutamine. Put the body into nutritional ketosis (low sugar, high ketones/fatty acids) and the cancer cells get hammered. Metabolic therapy should be first-line for every patient.” At the end, maybe a small touch of radiation/chemo/immunotherapy to mop up stragglers—but the foundation is metabolic. Tumor cells are metabolically inflexible. Normal cells thrive on ketones; cancer cells cannot. Transition the body’s fuel source → cancer suffocates. If metabolic therapy (ketogenic diet + glutamine targeting) is this powerful, why isn’t it standard protocol? What’s your take—would you push for metabolic therapy first if diagnosed? Or have you seen / tried keto in cancer contexts? Your thoughts 👇

Since there’s been discussion about Colon Cancer over the past few days, I’ve decided to release my video covering new data on a ketogenic diet for colorectal cancer early. Below is a 79 second teaser. 🚨Some Key Considerations: 👉Epidemiology will never truly reveal cause-effect relationships between lifestyle and colon cancer. It’s fine for hypothesis generation, but not sufficient to make causal claims. 👉Animal model studies are limited insofar as they are non-human. That's true. However, have the power to provide insights into causal connections and mechanisms. In this study, to improve human relevance, the researchers used microbiome-humanized mice (see clip). *Don't disregard data because "oh, it's just animals." Sometimes, those are the most insightful and information data available on a given topic* 🚨Key Findings 👉Ketogenic diet reduced colon cancer tumor size and overall tumor burden 👉The mechanism appears to be due to the ketogenic diet altering the microbiome so as to increase the production of endogenous stearic acid, an 18 carbon saturated fat rich in cocoa butter, tallow, and shea butter. 👉Fecal transplant and exogenous stearic acid feeding experiments reveal the importance of the microbiome shift and anti-cancer potential of stearic acid 👉The stearic acid reduced inflammation and killed off cancer cells by apoptosis 🥓On Red Meat 👉As I review in the video briefly, red (and processed) meats are complex foods. They’re not just stearic acid. I will not rule out the possibility that meat, and particularly processed meats, could be a net negative for colon cancer risk given factors iron overload and/or chemical additives including processing. 👉However, I think it’s essential to keep in mind (1) dietary patterns and overall metabolic health matter MUCH more than any single food or ingredient. Effect size matters. (2) Given healthy user bias and food ‘lumping’ in epidemiology, it’s easy to draw misleading conclusions, e.g. red meat = universally bad for colon cancer risk. cc, with respect Dr. Rhonda Patrick 👉 As I review in the video (🔗 in first reply): “It’s entirely possible that a fatty ribeye steak [rich in stearic acid] could promote colon cancer when eaten with a side of fries by someone with obesity, while that same fatty ribeye steak could suppress cancer when eaten in the context of a clean ketogenic diet and by a healthy individual” ... CONTEXT MATTERS. Food for thought. cc Dr Shawn Baker 🥩 Joel "Heart Prevention" Kahn MD, FACC Meat Head Viva Longevity!

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2008. The first picture was taken in 2018. Back then I was taking 60 mg of geodon, 5 Xanax a day, and Cymbalta. I didn’t have the best results on meds & they completely stopped working in 2023. Prior to starting a ketogenic diet I could only drive 15 minutes away from my house. I experienced delusional beliefs that my food was being poisoned, uncontrollable anxiety despite meds and my cognition was terrible. I couldn’t calculate my age despite knowing my birthdate. I struggled daily with everything. Side effects from meds were overwhelming and I thought I was going to die. So much changed for me after starting medical keto, intermittent fasting, and daily exercise. Those metabolic therapies drop my glucose and raise my ketones. My brain runs more efficiently on ketones. I wore a CGM for 2 years and also used a keto mojo reader. I can still have symptoms today if my ketones drop too low. Diet absolutely matters. I wish I knew about metabolic therapies when I was first diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2008. Please check out more information at Metabolic Mind Georgia Ede MD
