(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.
