“00:16:14 - Comparing the differences and similarities of daily time-restricted eating with 5:2 weekly intermittent fasting. 00:29:37 - Comparing the different effects of a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting on the brain.”

“These findings demonstrate that the longevity gene klotho is necessary for neurogenesis and that intermittent feeding may be beneficial in promoting memory retention in humans. A ketogenic diet also improves memory in mice.”

“The authors of this important work concluded that polyunsaturated fats may be an effective add-on treatment to complement pharmacological therapies for cancer. Link to full study. Watch Dr. Valter Longo discuss the use of a ketogenic diet and the fasting mimicking diet in addition to chemotherapy to treat aggressive cancer.”

“Interestingly, the researchers found that severely restricting the TXNIP-deficient animals’ glucose intake by feeding them a ketogenic diet for five weeks mitigated the stress-induced deficit in mitochondrial function and reversed the detrimental changes to the polyunsaturated fat content of their mitochondrial membranes.”

“The authors of the report posited that if the carbohydrate-insulin model is accurate, dietary modifications that limit carbohydrate intake, such as a ketogenic diet, may alter hormonal responses and promote fat oxidation and weight loss.”

“The four-week crossover trial involved 20 healthy men and women (average age, 30 years). Half of the participants ate an animal-based, ketogenic, low-carbohydrate diet that provided about 10 percent of its calories from carbohydrates and about 75 percent from fat and high calorie foods.”

“They tested how diet and enzymes involved in glycogen breakdown affected brain cell health, analyzed molecular changes through metabolomics and genomics, and examined how tau protein interacts with glycogen inside cells.”

“Then they performed fMRI scans on 12 young adults (average age, 28 years) to assess how different energy sources – glucose versus ketones – alter brain function. Each participant underwent three scans under different dietary conditions: a normal diet without fasting, a normal diet with overnight fasting, or a ketogenic diet for one week.”

“Researchers evaluated the findings of randomized clinical trials and open-label trials that evaluated depression symptoms among patients diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses or major depressive disorder after receiving psilocybin therapy.”

“00:37:16 - Some of the improvements seen in rodent research in terms of healthspan, but also memory and brain function, from a cyclical ketogenic diet. _See the episode with Dr. Eric Verdin for a discussion on this research.”
