“If you rapidly start a ketogenic diet, you are more likely to experience side effects including disrupted sleep and lipid abnormalities. Dr. D'Agostino asserts that transitioning to the diet by titrating carbohydrates down gradually improves adherence and tolerance.”

“Disruption of a person’s chronotypic schedule can influence mood, productivity, and disease risk because it may interfere with the duration of their REM sleep, which is essential for emotional well-being.”

“However, Dr. D'Agostino clarifies that it might not be optimal to ingest ketone supplements daily, and he describes his experience with elevated liver enzymes following high dose supplementation. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino discusses the supplements he thinks pair well with a ketogenic diet.”

“Adequate, quality sleep is essential for the body's recovery and repair, promoting optimal physical and mental health. Getting a good night's sleep can be challenging, especially in our modern world, but we can take steps to overcome those challenges.

“Dr. Patrick and Wim talk a bit about Wim's back story that culminated in him trying out cold water immersion, the 2014 scientific publication of the “Wim Hof Method” which includes cold exposure during training, exposure to bacterial endotoxin, Wim's breathing techniques, and meditation.”

“Ketogenic diets range from the exacting therapeutic diet used to treat epilepsy to a liberalized low-glycemic-index diet that is better suited as a lifestyle diet. These diets are high in fat and low in carbohydrates and can be tracked using an objective biomarker – ketones.”

“Exercise produces similar results by releasing anti-inflammatory cytokines that may contribute to an anti-depressant outcome. In this clip, Dr. Charles Raison describes how whole-body hyperthermia has the potential for real-world clinical efficacy as a tool in the fight against major depression.”
