“The ease of following a ketogenic diet varies from person to person, depending on several factors, including fitness level, overall health, and lifestyle. Liberalizing the diet by altering protein, fat, and fiber intake may make the diet more tolerable.”

“Research shows that it mimics fasting by inducing metabolic switching – the capacity to shift from metabolizing glucose to metabolizing fatty acids. Ketogenic diets are now a widely accepted therapy for people with epilepsy or other seizure disorders as well as other chronic health disorders.”

“When Tim Ferriss contracted Lyme disease, he drew on his familiarity with the ketogenic diet to regain his health. While consuming a ketogenic diet, he observed that his cognitive function returned to where it was before his diagnosis.”

“In addition, a ketogenic diet may be designed to incorporate anti-carcinogenic phytonutrients and fiber. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino discusses the implications of adding a ketogenic diet to cancer treatment protocols.”

“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.”

“In fact, preclinical studies have shown that ketones increase the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA, a chemical which has a calming effect on the brain. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino describes strategies to incorporate other fasting modalities into a ketogenic lifestyle diet.”

“Interventions such as fasting or the ketogenic diet alone are not sufficient for cancer treatment, because some cancer cells can adapt. However, the triad of the ketogenic diet, a fasting-mimicking diet, and standard of care treatments (such as chemotherapy or immunotherapy) holds promise for particularly aggressive phenotypes, such as gliomas.”

“Ketones measurable in the blood, urine or breath signal whether a person is in ketosis and metabolizing fats instead of glucose. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino details the macronutrient ratios that make up the broad spectrum of ketogenic diets.”
