Diet Affects the Brain

  • What is the state of mental health, and how did we get here? (5:00)
    • The number of cases has skyrocketed in recent years.
  • Do we have an idea how or when mental issues start? (16:00)
    • How much does genetics play in mental health?
    • Epigenetics can be a factor as well.
  • Today, we have a chronic disease epidemic. (23:00)
  • The rates of depression and anxiety disorders were already increasing even before the pandemic. (28:00)
    • Other conditions like ADHD and autism have increased as well.
    • Whatever is driving poor metabolic health is also driving poor mental health. (30:00)
  • How do we fix this? (32:00)
    • The first step would be to get rid of processed foods.
    • Microplastics can be another concern.
  • How does a medical ketogenic diet help with mental health and brain issues? (46:00)
    • Dr. Palmer refers to a medical ketogenic diet as having a specific, high ketone level.
    • This often requires strict monitoring and rigor, as opposed to kind of “winging it.”
    • You are more likely to get and sustain results with a rigorous approach.
  • Taking exogenous ketone esters may be helpful for some people, but not all. (51:00)
    • Sticking to an actual ketogenic diet is much more effective. (53:00)
  • They discuss cholesterol and brain health. (55:00)

This is NOT Progress

  • Vinnie welcomes Mary back to the show and they chat a bit about writing books. (2:00)
  • Vinnie brings up how he recently noticed how many drugs were advertised during football games. (5:30)
    • So many of the ads are ridiculous!
    • For example, rosacea is not deadly, but the side effects of the medication can be!
    • Why are these drugs being pushed? This is not progress!
  • Health insurance companies should offer CGMs to people at a discount—even for free—so people can see what certain foods do to their blood. (11:15)
    • Mary agrees: it’s the perfect way to see what they are doing wrong with eating.
    • Monitors that track blood sugar and glucose simultaneously are now available and worth the investment.
    • They often can be used for as little as two weeks to a month to get an idea of what affects your body.
  • The effects of society getting heavier and unhealthier are having a ripple effect. (15:45)
    • For example, two airlines are starting to weigh passengers before boarding to avoid overloading the plane’s weight capacity.
  • Mary reveals that 75% of people are diabetic or pre-diabetic by age 75; however, young children are suffering from it as well. (17:45)
  • They discuss the nutritional guidelines and how they still do not address real health issues.
  • She discusses infant nutrition and the benefits of breast milk compared to formula. (19:00)
  • Formulas often have ingredients like seed oils and starches that are harmful.

Fighting Alzheimer’s Disease

  • Mary shares what this third edition of her book includes.
    • There’s been even more information added.
  • Alzheimer’s is a scary disease with many challenges; however, she shares some wonderful examples of the benefits of ketones.
  • Vinnie and Mary discuss how people hesitate to try variations on diet; the reality the only thing they are doing is experimenting with food.
    • Things like coconut oil are not a miracle—but with consistency, there can be a marked improvement in health and longevity. (40:00)
  • They also discuss ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and a protocol named The Deanna Protocol.
