Diet Affects the Brain
- What is the state of mental health, and how did we get here?
(5:00)
- The number of cases has skyrocketed in recent years.
- Do we have an idea how or when mental issues start? (16:00)
- How much does genetics play in mental health?
- Epigenetics can be a factor as well.
- Today, we have a chronic disease epidemic. (23:00)
- The rates of depression and anxiety disorders were already
increasing even before the pandemic. (28:00)
- Other conditions like ADHD and autism have increased as well.
- Whatever is driving poor metabolic health is also driving poor mental health. (30:00)
- How do we fix this? (32:00)
- The first step would be to get rid of processed foods.
- Microplastics can be another concern.
- How does a medical ketogenic diet help with mental health and
brain issues? (46:00)
- Dr. Palmer refers to a medical ketogenic diet as having a specific, high ketone level.
- This often requires strict monitoring and rigor, as opposed to kind of “winging it.”
- You are more likely to get and sustain results with a rigorous approach.
- Taking exogenous ketone esters may be helpful for some people,
but not all. (51:00)
- Sticking to an actual ketogenic diet is much more effective. (53:00)
- They discuss cholesterol and brain health. (55:00)
