Can a Medical Keto Diet Treat Depression in College Students? - with Dr. Jeff Volek
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Can ketogenic therapy help college students living with depression? Jeff Volek, PhD, RD, is investigating this question in a pilot study at The Ohio State University, where he is a professor in the Department of Human Sciences. Dr. Volek has been a world-renowned expert in ketogenic diets for more than two decades. He has pioneered critical work raising awareness of how the keto diet can reverse diabetes and metabolic syndrome and enhance athletic performance and recovery.
In this interview with Dr. Bret Scher, Dr. Volek discusses his new work exploring ketogenic therapy for depression, including some of the challenges, especially for a college-age population, as well as the immense benefits. The study results so far are extremely promising, with students who maintain ketosis reporting a dramatic improvement in symptoms. Other topics they cover include how metabolic dysfunction underlies most chronic diseases, what a well-formulated keto diet looks like, and the importance of bringing ketogenic therapy into academic programs in dietetics and medicine. Dr. Volek shares that he is unaware of any academic programs that instruct on keto nutrition as a powerful medical intervention-this is a critical step to make metabolic therapies more mainstream.

Two of my biggest heros. (both geniuses I believe and both modest men).
I think Jeff Volek was a speaker on those fab cruises back in the day.
Thanks to you both gentlemen
I'm 75. Three-years ago I was about to lose my driver's license due to brain fog. Twenty-six-months ago, I switched to the carnivore way of eating. I am now happy to say that the brain fog (and numerous other metabolic ailments) are things of the past. I now drive with confidence and with quick reflexes. Zero carbs, zero plants, is what gave me an incredible improvement in my health, both mental and physical.
Love both of these men. Started my low carb keto journey reading Volek's work. What and when you eat matters for overall health. Drop the carbs and don't fear healthy fat - eat animal proteins - win win win
So glad to see that more and more studies are being done and all seem to be pointing in the same direction
Hello @Metabolic Mind,
I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on exogenous ketones such as DeltaG, KetoneAid, HVMN, etc. Do you believe they play a role in increasing ketone levels while following a ketogenic diet and potentially in the treatment of mental illness?
I often struggle to maintain a ratio of 2:1 for fat to protein and typically find myself closer to a 1:1 ratio. As a result, I have difficulty achieving therapeutic levels of ketosis even when limiting my carb intake to under 20 grams.
Additionally, I am curious about your perspective on the use of Keto in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Aspergers.
Thank you for your insights on these topics.
Thank you for affirming that a ketogenic diet can be not only sustainable but also enjoyable. I've been in ketosis for 6.5 years and I love it! Never felt better. Haven't been to a doctor in years. Rarely get sick. I mountain bike, hike, rock climb, do yoga, and workout regularly. I work in permaculture and landscaping, so I'm constantly taxing my body. And I feel amazing. I always have more energy than my colleagues. While the transition can be difficult, once settled in to a *well-formulated* (that's vitally important) keto diet, it is rather easy to sustain and highly enjoyable.
Hey man, what would you say would be well formulated?
Dr. Volek, thank you for your many years of work. You said, "What I was taught wasn't the full story." REWRITE: "What I was taught was absolutely the wrong story." Please don't sugar-coat the language. We need to get the truth out loud, proud, and with conviction!
Such an interesting interview as always on Metabolic mind!
I agree 👍 💯
I can tell you that it worked for me, I didn't have severe depression but only changing diet eliminated completely for me.
That's great!
How long did it take to see results?
Did you work with a Dr/nutritionist or just on your own?
All the best to you!
@@samwiseg7380 the effects on depr ession I'm not sure because I wasn't trying to solve that problem and it was probably 5+ years ago, it was a welcome unexpected side effect of just changing the diet, I didn't change anything else in my life.
Most nutritionist/MDs don't know anything about nutrition, they are not trustworthy or knowledgeable.
We should really begin to ask ourselves the effects of childhood trauma on glucose metabolism via chronic stress responses.
One of your best videos, which is saying something!
Great chat !!!
Aha! My elevated fasting blood sugar WHILE IN KETOSIS may be related to low sodium RAISING MY CORTISOL on top of my daily coffees.
23:55 "because the problem is you DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE SODIUM, it's a stress response in the body, especially on the adrenal gland. CORTISOL GOES UP, aldosterone goes up, all in an attempt to hang on to that sodium and fluid."
I'm going to start abiding by Dr DiNicolantonio PhD salt replacement strategy: "one cup of coffee would be 1/8 of a teaspoon, two cups would be a fourth, and then four cups would be a half of a teaspoon" ruclips.net/video/AUqNF8YCxHE/видео.htmlsi=S4b5XY0Kk-7v-PUe
When I first went KETO/low carbohydrate, my BG went all over the place, I even had some edema ! Weird "symptoms " coming off plant-based mostly vegetarian diet.
Things balanced out nicely after several months ... 👌
It was a very informative interview. Especially, there were good tips that Jeff provided regarding root causes of 'keto flu' and his explanation why it takes so long time to except ketogenic therapy as a valid therapy nowadays.
30yrs ago rewind The ninty's what a great decade never to be repeated again from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
😒👉 The drug and food industry will never let this go mainstream - they lose 💰💸 when people are healthy.
Therefore, we need a grass root movement.😊
@@AndreasvomBodensee ~ That very well may happen 👍
I wish he would have shared some anecdotes. He really said so very little about ketos effect in college students.
Is there a way for non-students of Ohio State to work with Dr. Vogel? I live in Cleveland but I spend part of my week in Columbus so I’m curious.
Unfortunately that wouldn't work for this study. But maybe there will be others coming.Keep an eye on our website where we list enrolling clinical trials. www.metabolicmind.org/research
Hey guys I am suffering from mental health issues. Do you know a metabolic health psychiatrist in pakistan.
I researched the directory on your website.
Kindly send me the name of the person who practices this in pakistan, lahore.
I dont want to be on meds due to side effects.
THE Ohio State University.
And autism? Obsessive thinking?
How does one join the study?
We arent aware of any ongoing studies for autism or OCD. But there are many anecdotal reports of benefits from ketogenic therapy. Hopefully research will catch up soon.
❤
A lot of American students could use a ketogenic diet right now 😜🤣
Too diplomatic. Time to call the sugar nuts what they are.
Also, it's time to recognize that keto works but often carnivore works even better.
🖐🇷🇺👍💯
Sorry diets have NOTHING to do with depression. Its all mindbody TMS and food has no connection. It's trauma or childhood issues unresolved
🤔 can't tell if cartesian bait
LOL. Rando on the internet!
Cite sources or provide a set of Google search terms or pointers to credible, recent, statistically valid studies.
Or go away ...
I have an trauma from when my parents die when I was very young.. when I was on the ketovore diet I felt like I was finally in control of my fears and emotions. Maybe it has something to do with blocking nlrp3 . When the body has a lot less inflamation it does have impact on the brain and also on trauma. ( my opinion) body and mind are always connected I guess . Greets
this must be sarcasm
Not mutually exclusive my buddy
