“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.”

“What might be a surprise is that the body's response to carbohydrate and other components of the diet is highly personal – influenced by not only a person's metabolic profile, but also their gut microbiome.”

“Rhonda discusses the effects of fasting on Parkinson's disease and which groups of people should not fast. Finally, she shares practical information about restricting carbohydrates, using caffeine, and when and how to break the fast.”

“The importance of making the correct carbohydrate choices, even and maybe especially in the context of a ketogenic diet, with a diverse variety of raw vegetables being the most favorable.”

“In this clip from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's appearance on The Diary of a CEO, she explains how carbohydrate restriction, fasting, and prolonged exercise can shift metabolism toward fatty acids and ketones. Beta-hydroxybutyrate can cross into the brain and provide an alternative fuel.”

“In a small randomized trial, 14 healthy men received carbohydrate with or without L-carnitine-L-tartrate twice daily for 24 weeks. Supplementation increased muscle carnitine and altered fuel use during exercise, although the substantial carbohydrate intake and small sample limit generalization.”

“In two large prospective cohorts, replacing 5 percent of energy from saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, or whole-grain carbohydrate was associated with lower coronary heart disease risk. Refined carbohydrates did not show the same benefit.”

“The body has elegant mechanisms that allow it to utilize non-carbohydrate substrates to generate glucose. Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which the liver produces glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates including glucogenic amino acids (from protein) and glycerol (from lipids).”

“The classic ketogenic diet, high in fat and low in protein and carbohydrates, is strict and difficult to follow. A liberalized version of the diet containing more protein and (proportionately) less fat may offer much of the therapeutic potency while being easier to tolerate.”
