I'm 75. Three-years ago I was about to lose my driver's license due to brain fog. Twenty-six-months ago, I switched to the carnivore way of eating. I am now happy to say that the brain fog (and numerous other metabolic ailments) are things of the past. I now drive with confidence and with quick reflexes. Zero carbs, zero plants, is what gave me an incredible improvement in my health, both mental and physical.
Two of my biggest heros. (both geniuses I believe and both modest men). I think Jeff Volek was a speaker on those fab cruises back in the day. Thanks to you both gentlemen
Love both of these men. Started my low carb keto journey reading Volek's work. What and when you eat matters for overall health. Drop the carbs and don't fear healthy fat - eat animal proteins - win win win
Thank you for affirming that a ketogenic diet can be not only sustainable but also enjoyable. I've been in ketosis for 6.5 years and I love it! Never felt better. Haven't been to a doctor in years. Rarely get sick. I mountain bike, hike, rock climb, do yoga, and workout regularly. I work in permaculture and landscaping, so I'm constantly taxing my body. And I feel amazing. I always have more energy than my colleagues. While the transition can be difficult, once settled in to a *well-formulated* (that's vitally important) keto diet, it is rather easy to sustain and highly enjoyable.
@@samwiseg7380 the effects on depr ession I'm not sure because I wasn't trying to solve that problem and it was probably 5+ years ago, it was a welcome unexpected side effect of just changing the diet, I didn't change anything else in my life. Most nutritionist/MDs don't know anything about nutrition, they are not trustworthy or knowledgeable.
Dr. Volek, thank you for your many years of work. You said, "What I was taught wasn't the full story." REWRITE: "What I was taught was absolutely the wrong story." Please don't sugar-coat the language. We need to get the truth out loud, proud, and with conviction!
Everyone has a different way of looking at the world and how they express that view. I personally don’t respond well to dogmatic and bombastic pronouncements. His way of talking about his transformation in knowledge works well for some, but apparently not you. Let people be who they are and don’t be critical of others, please.
Hello @Metabolic Mind, I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on exogenous ketones such as DeltaG, KetoneAid, HVMN, etc. Do you believe they play a role in increasing ketone levels while following a ketogenic diet and potentially in the treatment of mental illness? I often struggle to maintain a ratio of 2:1 for fat to protein and typically find myself closer to a 1:1 ratio. As a result, I have difficulty achieving therapeutic levels of ketosis even when limiting my carb intake to under 20 grams. Additionally, I am curious about your perspective on the use of Keto in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Aspergers. Thank you for your insights on these topics.
It was a very informative interview. Especially, there were good tips that Jeff provided regarding root causes of 'keto flu' and his explanation why it takes so long time to except ketogenic therapy as a valid therapy nowadays.
Aha! My elevated fasting blood sugar WHILE IN KETOSIS may be related to low sodium RAISING MY CORTISOL on top of my daily coffees. 23:55 "because the problem is you DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE SODIUM, it's a stress response in the body, especially on the adrenal gland. CORTISOL GOES UP, aldosterone goes up, all in an attempt to hang on to that sodium and fluid." I'm going to start abiding by Dr DiNicolantonio PhD salt replacement strategy: "one cup of coffee would be 1/8 of a teaspoon, two cups would be a fourth, and then four cups would be a half of a teaspoon" ua-cam.com/video/AUqNF8YCxHE/v-deo.htmlsi=S4b5XY0Kk-7v-PUe
When I first went KETO/low carbohydrate, my BG went all over the place, I even had some edema ! Weird "symptoms " coming off plant-based mostly vegetarian diet. Things balanced out nicely after several months ... 👌
Unfortunately that wouldn't work for this study. But maybe there will be others coming.Keep an eye on our website where we list enrolling clinical trials. www.metabolicmind.org/research
We arent aware of any ongoing studies for autism or OCD. But there are many anecdotal reports of benefits from ketogenic therapy. Hopefully research will catch up soon.
Hey guys I am suffering from mental health issues. Do you know a metabolic health psychiatrist in pakistan. I researched the directory on your website. Kindly send me the name of the person who practices this in pakistan, lahore. I dont want to be on meds due to side effects.
@@erwinrommel786 Aoa bro plz search Lauren Kennedy west chanel on youtube she has much info about what to eat in mental illness I think she said 60 percent fat 30 percent protein and 10 percent carbs shall be there in your daily diet and as per our cultural foods rotti and rice you should avoid

I have an trauma from when my parents die when I was very young.. when I was on the ketovore diet I felt like I was finally in control of my fears and emotions. Maybe it has something to do with blocking nlrp3 . When the body has a lot less inflamation it does have impact on the brain and also on trauma. ( my opinion) body and mind are always connected I guess . Greets
it's complex, but many people do feel worse on certain foods, due to effect on nervous system / brain. Many comments on the carnivore channels mention how depression improved on carnivore diet !

So glad to see that more and more studies are being done and all seem to be pointing in the same direction

Hey man, what would you say would be well formulated?
I can tell you that it worked for me, I didn't have severe depression but only changing diet eliminated completely for me.
That's great!
How long did it take to see results?
Did you work with a Dr/nutritionist or just on your own?
All the best to you!

One of your best videos, which is saying something!
We should really begin to ask ourselves the effects of childhood trauma on glucose metabolism via chronic stress responses.

Great chat !!!

self study. the best way to learn.

Is there a way for non-students of Ohio State to work with Dr. Vogel? I live in Cleveland but I spend part of my week in Columbus so I’m curious.
Unfortunately that wouldn't work for this study. But maybe there will be others coming.Keep an eye on our website where we list enrolling clinical trials. www.metabolicmind.org/research
I wish he would have shared some anecdotes. He really said so very little about ketos effect in college students.
And autism? Obsessive thinking?
How does one join the study?

Too diplomatic. Time to call the sugar nuts what they are.
Also, it's time to recognize that keto works but often carnivore works even better.

Therefore, we need a grass root movement.😊
@@Fröhlich1985 ~ That very well may happen 👍
A lot of American students could use a ketogenic diet right now 😜🤣
🖐🇷🇺👍💯
Sorry diets have NOTHING to do with depression. Its all mindbody TMS and food has no connection. It's trauma or childhood issues unresolved
