By the way...I am proof that Ketones work! Memory was becoming a problem and brain image showed shrinkage more than normal for age. Within a few days of Keto and not taking statins, I got my brain back. Meaning my awareness, clarity, memory was available and noticeable. Grateful! Still have not had a visit with neurologist yet...
I work in dementia support in the UK - I have lost count of the number of care givers I have spoken to who have reported a raging sweet tooth experienced by the people with dementia they care for. Brains craving energy! I believe this is such important work.
My dad has Alzheimer’s and all he wants is sweets. He’s in a care center and hates the food. (3rd center- he hates them all) my sister brings him candy and other sweets.
@@amandacoatesthat is the same with my dad. Even three years ago he would not listen to me. Now he’s in a center, hates the food, and only wants the candy and other sweet my sister brings.
Same with my husband. I've talked to him about doing the Ketogenic diet several times but he always caves when it comes to giving up his ice cream and Dr. Pepper. I got him to watch this video with me and he has agreed to try the diet. Hopefully I can keep him to it.
Thank you both. This needs to be addressed in aged care facilities where 6 high carb meals are still given followed by the daily concerns of poor bowel function. The potential of improved cognition, reduction in painful stiff joints and lethargy is all possible!!
@@aurelius1964 It is in the United States too. It's disgusting that they feed the same thing to diabetics as they feed to healthier patients (physically) and still label it diabetic. Here ... have some pudding and pears in heavy syrup. They'd be better off with a cheeseburger being smuggled in.
I have seen and heard a good number of videos about how ketones could help dementia like Alzheimer's, so this doesn't surprise me, but it is great news for hard evidence! My mom has early-mid stage Alzheimer's (not yet diagnosed but pretty obvious) and I have tried to encourage her to go low carb if not keto -- even buying low-carb foods and preparing such meals whenever we eat together (or for her leftovers). But she is now 79 and it's been hard for her to give up her favorite simple-carb foods and food brands. No matter how many times I've told her about the benefits of low-carb, keto, and time-restricted eating (IF), she doesn't seem interested, or doesn't remember any of it anyway. So if someone already has short-term memory loss and short attention spans, what tactics can work to get them on board with keto, IF, or other beneficial changes? Are there experts on health motivation for elderly, forgetful, and/or stubborn people? If so, can you interview them for your show?
My mother has late stage Alz and was diagnosed as such over a decade ago...we saw signs of slippage, so we tested her thru a simple online test, the results of which advised a meeting with an MD, which she did also. Once she was diagnosed she had to face/admit/accept that she had Alz and then she easily accepted the treatment from the Dr. (Unfortunately it wasn't the keto diet.) I would recommend getting her tested soon as that may be a sole motivator for her to take action with treatment. Maybe she can even get tested at a more keto-friendly/alternative health care facility, so you could avoid the mainstream treatment approach, which did not help my mother. Caring for a loved one with the progression of dementia/Alz is nothing I would wish on anyone. Wishing you good luck!
Please do that I love to read your unser on this ladies question Thanks I am grateful Happy New Year to you and to your family you are such an amazing person God Bless
Dr. Ken Berry has a video on u tube where he recommends using the extra ketone products ONLY for the older folks who can't understand Keto diet or fasting. Please try to find it. He has others on the same subject so you'll have to look for the one that says something about "the only folks who should be taking the extra ketone products" Hope you can find it.
Very informative...thank you. Wish our family had known this when our mother was first diagnosed with alz 15 yrs ago. My brothers and I would have gotten her onto keto asap. She is still alive but in a home care facility and extremely advanced stage now. It was incredibly sad and difficult to watch the disease strip her of her verbal eloquence and her agile, well read mind and reduce her to a mental shell of what she used to be. My hope is that with this new research others won't have to suffer thru watching (and caregiving) of their loved ones diagnosed with Alzheimer's. (And as a form of both better health AND prevention, I am glad to be on the healthy version of the keto diet myself...thanks to a guy named Dr. Berg here on youtube.
Hi Joel! You are so good to be so caring of your Mom. My sister was diagnosed w/early onset Alzheimers in her 50's. She is now 65 and has been on a memory care unit for 3 1/2 years. Her husband is still working...Their youngest daughter is just out of grad school at age 26. Sadly, my sisters original neurologist was not innovative and was opposed to things like coconut oil. I've followed Dr. Perlmutter (and others, Dr. Bredesen) to educate myself. Lots of my family (my brothers) just were not interested. I am also on Keto, I also follow Dr, Berg! God bless you, your Mom, and all your family! I do believe "Food is Medicine" and hope more will come to believe it & eat accordingly.
When I started ketogenic diet I felt worse for at least 12 weeks but knew I was doing the right thing and now 4 years later. 12 weeks is only part of the adjustment period and someone really needs to go for years to continue to reap the benefits. Hope they all went keto after the study.
I can relate to the long period of adjustment. About 12 weeks in, I have lost 12 pounds, 3 inches around my waist, and stabilization of blood sugar. But I still suffer from significant fatigue. I have faith that i will improve with time.
@@thomasjefferson8939 You're in the right direction but we all can tweak it along the way. I personally have reached my goals so am more liberal about eating carbs but as careful as ever about avoiding omega 6 vegetable oils and related products.
Congratulations Drs Perlmutter and Philips on your groundbreaking work to blaze this important new “trail” on prevention of metabolic and mitochondrial disease. I’m following your trail as closely as I can, and only ask that you just keep pressing on.
Loved this so much! Complete with Serendipity!!❤ I am an ER doc. I specialize in the un-blazed trail so very often. Excellent communication saves lives. Less than courageous doctors often endanger them. Ultimately, it is up to Mother Nature.
Oh My Gosh you gentlemen are incredible. Thank you for what you are doing. It is a privilege to listen to the knowledge and information that you continue to share with all of us. I have firsthand experience working with this diet for my late husband. It had amazing results while he was able to maintain it.
What a fabulous discussion! Much inspiration from both of you for those of us who feel the key to good health as we age is a low-carb diet combined with at least a bit of IF. Thank you both for sharing your work, its results, and your advice based on facts!
@@laylagibson8489 Watch the documentary called 'the magic pill'. It's about keto and it follows two autistic kids (among other ppl in the film who are suffering from obesity, diabetes, etc.). One kid with autism is treated with a keto diet, and the other with a similar diet called the 'carbohydrate specific diet' (or something similar) both with good results. Blessings for your son and for you for continued guidance. ❤
It would seem to make sense that a way of eating that helps heal or improve the brain, as in Alzheimers, Parkinson, AND Epilepsy, as the Ketogenic diet or Modified Atkins Diet (which is a version of the keto diet) does, would be healthy for the whole body.
Great video, it is time to step outside of previous conventions to correct our metabolic syndromes. Imagine the future for the overfed sugar generations of today? Not good at all, keep going but I feel the big money pharma Co's will try to rubbish this as keto can be done without resorting to food companies that made people less able to fight off issues or indeed created the diabetes epidemic for their profits. Great talk again thank you both!
Medical industry needs a huge make over. Shifts happening as we speak, doctors leaving the field. Why? They have not had the ability to make the impacts by following alopathic medicine alone. Also, patients have access to more information than the doctors have or are allowed to follow. Just pills are not going to heal anybody.
Since the typical Western diet is so heavily centered on refined sugar it would have been interesting if there had been a third group in the study where participants were asked to remove all added sugar products from their diet but otherwise eat as normal including foods like whole fruit. Perhaps the results for that group would have had also registered a meaningful improvement in quality of life. Does refined sugar damage the mitochondria more so than any other substance we ingest? (Pete)
@@DavidPerlmutterMD I'm looking at your website. As a mother of an adult daughter who is 50 years old this year, I'd really appreciate the keto forms of diet studies for epilepsy. Shannon's neurologist says it fine to follow what he prefers to call it, the Modified Atkins Diet, but if Shan moves to an adult family home, then I want her neurologist to prescribe this way of eating as she chooses so the people managing the home won't give her the cheapest, high carb food as many do. Thank- you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge on You Tubes and books!
I am prediabetic as of this year and have only been sick twice since the pandemic started, but no Covid- as far. My bf got it and he’s at a good weight. Covid seems very random to me and unpredictable
I want to get my sister out of a facility so I can feed her a ketogenic diet however there’s such behavioral problems but I can’t deal with her is there a medicine she can get that will help the behavior problem and still allow us to make her better on a ketogenic diet please
For the same reason they don't try Keto in nursing homes. Because those kinds of dietary changes would cost more & make people ealthier. Prisons & nursing homes aren't there to improve health.

People should stop promoting the keto diet, it's not a diet anyone should adhere to without doctor supervision. Everyone should eat a diverse diet and that includes carbs. For me, the Agoge diet plan worked wonders, I no longer have visible cellulite and lost significant amounts of fat.
How about we eat fresh, seasonal, organic fruits and veggies, fermented veggies, and herbs, and ALSO eat locally sourced animal products from regenerative farms(: I am a former vegan of 6 years and recently realized that the diet is not sustainable for me long term and does not have as many health benefits as they say it does. Meat is healing and dairy is okay sometimes when it is tolerated, organic/grass fed, or raw. But also I don't intend to ever tell people what they should be eating since our bodies are all unique!
No way, people better be careful with this diet. I have two people who developed cancer from this diet. This guy doesn't have a clue about Alzheimer's.
If your friend got cancer in Keto please send their names, so we can study it, and expand the case studies, that would be the first case please send their details.
Thank you for the comment - I admit there is a lot I do not know about Alzheimer's, but I think it is important to try and develop testable theories to see if we can improve our current treatments for it. That is all I am doing really. So far, from what I see in my own patients, the data seems encouraging. But if I find out later on that the ketogenic diet is harming my patients, I will be the first person to admit it. Hope that makes sense and if we still disagree, that is ok. Very best, Matt.
