“00:34:09 - Tips for easing into dietary ketosis, potential pitfalls to look out for, and biomarkers to keep an eye on for further tailoring after the early adaptation period. 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.”

“00:29:20 - Organs shrink during fasting and then regrow after refeeding. Study. 00:29:45 - Fasting stresses healthy cells so they increase their stress-response pathways, including heat shock proteins, antioxidant production, and anti-inflammatory.”

“Participants were in nutritional ketosis on most days, with average fasting blood ketone levels of 0.7 millimoles per liter. Average weight loss was 5.0 kilograms (6.2 percent of body mass). Cognitive performance improved in several areas.”

“Subgroup analyses of depression trials pointed to stronger benefits when it was confirmed that participants were actually in ketosis, when diets were very low in carbohydrate, when control groups did not follow high-carbohydrate diets, and among participants without obesity.”

“We talk about fasting, ketosis, unlocking the mysteries of blood glucose by actually testing your response to foods, eating seasonally, ketosis, natto, and finally... 10-day, intense vipassana meditation retreats.”

“Surprisingly, no evidence suggests that higher levels of LPS leak into circulation during a ketogenic diet – likely due to the profound metabolic changes induced during ketosis. In addition, beta-hydroxybutyrate, a ketone produced during a ketogenic diet, may travel to the colon and nourish colonocytes.”

“This invites speculation that certain forms of intense exercise, which promotes lactate uptake and utilization throughout the body, or nutritional ketosis may improve nerve regeneration; however, this theory has yet to be tested experimentally.”

“But implementing a ketogenic diet is challenging. In this Aliquot, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino explains how to avoid side effects on a ketogenic diet, provides valuable pointers for success, and explains how the diet might help preserve muscle mass.”

“And one potential strategy for mitigating our risk for Alzheimer's disease as we age is a "cognoscopy" – a battery of assessments that measures some of the key biomarkers associated with the disease and can inform the trajectory of treatment.”
