In This Episode:
In this podcast, I am interviewed by Alzheimer’s and dementia expert Dr Heather Sandison and we discuss the role of ketosis and intermittent fasting and how it improves brain health, and we also go into unique exercises called neurobics and how they increase BDNF and optimize brain health.
Ensuring our brain’s health is pivotal for our overall well-being, and I’m thrilled to explore how the ketogenic diet can play a surprising role, thanks in part to the liver’s unexpected involvement. In our conversation, I’ll dive into this connection and more.
How the Liver Supports Brain Health
Let’s talk about the liver—a powerhouse organ with over 500 functions, including detoxification and nutrient processing. Poor liver health can manifest in symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and stubborn belly fat. I advocate for protecting and rejuvenating the liver with a formula containing proven herbs and nutrients.
Ketosis and Its Brain Benefits
Ketosis, where the body uses fat instead of glucose for energy, can significantly reduce brain inflammation and enhance crucial brain growth factors like BDNF. I’m excited to discuss neurobics exercises that stimulate brain function, including a simple yet effective technique like Einstein’s hallway pacing.
Nailing the Ketogenic Diet
Let’s simplify the ketogenic diet. I stress the importance of intermittent fasting and a balanced intake of proteins, healthy fats, and phytonutrient-rich veggies. I offer specific recommendations for protein and fat intake per meal and highlight the advantages of exogenous ketones like C8 MCT oil.
Our conversation is packed with insights on brain health, the ketogenic diet, and complementary practices like neurobics and strength training.
In Conclusion
I’m passionate about demystifying the ketogenic diet’s role in enhancing brain health and overall well-being. My holistic approach emphasizes nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness for optimal health. Ultimately, I’m a firm believer in our body’s remarkable capacity for self-healing and the transformative impact it can have on our lives.
