- In this video, Dr. Ayesha delves into the topic of MCT Oil and its impact on brain health, exploring whether it has beneficial or detrimental effects.
Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil has been gaining popularity in recent years, especially in the health and wellness community. MCT oil is a type of oil that is derived from coconut oil and contains medium-chain fatty acids, which are easily digested and metabolized by the body.

A bit of an oversight for a neurologist to forget to mention that MCT has been prescribed for managing epilepsy for 100 years... for cases where drugs aren't working well. The recent evidence and reviews strongly support the notion that MCT gets into the brain and works as fuel; in elderly people, glucose nutrition in neurons becomes weaker.
She’s sponsored by big Pharma…😡😡😡😡
What 'recent evidence'? Could you tell us what evidence you're talking about?
Stephan Cunname has published cognitive testing after 2 tablespoons MCT treatment for a few months, if I recall. Not much dispute these days that ketones are superior nutrition for brain cells in elderly people. MCT is one route to shift in that direction. Intermittent fasting (breakfast at noon) is another since the liver is depleted of glucose storage after 10 hours or so.@@GurungyNoHamuster
"More studies needed" means that there is probably no profit in this supplement.
Exactly!
If they need more tests, than why they don't do it?
Common, stop saying it needs more tests, just do it.
@@PModesto Studies cost money and people who sell this stuff certainly won't finance studies that might make their profit worse.
Sorry but that's a stupid point of view for lack of a better word. You just have no idea how the supplement industry works, how academia and research work, and how they Do not intersect. If I can easily convince millions of mothers of the virtue of spinach through sponsoring a cartoon, why tf would I fund scientific research?
Perhaps I have a better point of view than you...30 plus years of nursing, passing meds, many with no efficacy, many that were poison...like Serequel, Xanax... Not to mention accessing and reading hundreds of medicl charts and studies. And your qualifications? @@yudeok413
And you understand? By watching Popeye?@@yudeok413
I believe most people take MCT oil for a quick boost while on a ketogenic diet. From what I understand, MCT oil is converted into ketones in the liver and can enter the mitochondria directly increasing ATP. Since ketones can cross the blood brain barrier, it seems to clear any “brain fog”. If anyone here fasts for longer than 16-18hrs, build up to 1Tbsp of C8 MCT and take it near the end of your fast. Please report back and tell me how you feel.
I work two jobs and I've always had brain fog in the morning. Started taking MCT oil. Besides some mild stomach cramps in the first hour, brain fog is just gone. It's amazing and I feel full on less food. Absolutely amazing
What about Dr Newport who treated her Alzheimer’s husband with coconutmet oil dose for coconut oil was 2 tblsp daily .His brain function improved dramatically within a month .She advised to increase coconut oil slowly eg 1/4 tsp to start with . Hope it works for me . I am going to try it now , Praise the Lord
praise the lord for what?for puting us on this planet and
letting us suffer.
Hi Barbara, I believe we're in a time where knowledge is increasing about natural healing. The latest I heard is castor oil for cataracts. Haven't studied it too much yet. I hope you get success with the coconut oil. Praise the Lord for wisdom.
There's much joy to be had on this planet, really. Suffering comes at times, yes, it makes us stronger going through it. Nice people make the struggle worth it, find others to pour your love onto.
yes@jetfb. we we are not here to suffer. most of the time it what we do to ourselves.@@jefb2361
Good luck❣
MCT works. No debate no doctors needed
This so-called doctor can't be trusted---PERIOD
My opinion I didn’t know that MCT oil help” with memory but I have 3 days using it and my brain is flying to the sky . I feel new again. Now in this video I found out it help with memory. Well it does for me. So just my opinion
That is and will not be tested. Feeling well somehow doesnt count for these doctors.
Some people doesn't absorb fat properly because of lack of HCl and bile.in these case MCT works like miracles,it will help you to absorb fat soluble vitamin without need of bile.
How do I improve this?
Suspicious when they don’t quote the name of the studies or provide links to read ourselves.
This so-called doctor is a shill for Big Pharma
Thats the sort of answer you would get from a drugs company - we can't make any money out of it, nothing to see here !!!
Exactly
Exactly!
MCT oil is a miracle
I believe it's good, you are the first person that says the opposite 😮
She is not saying its not good. She just saying science doesnt now. Its not proven.
You probably prescribe medications that’s why you are putting doubts on peoples heads, I know tons of people that had amazing results taking the MCT oil, just have to find the real organic one
Yep! All who go into medical school go in brilliant and come out brainwashed. They want people sick so that people can depend on their industry. Anything natural is shun upon by them because they don’t profit off of healthy people.
Evidence is obtained from people living in coastal areas in East Africa,when they get older they don't forget their children like people living in the hinterland high in the mountains where there's no coconuts. People living in coastal areas have their food prepared with coconut milk.
Hey I’ve been putting MCT Oil in my coffee every morning ☕️ , and all of a sudden I’m remembering things that happened in MIDDLE SCHOOL that I totally forgot about so I don’t know but MCT oil is the only thing I added recently and it’s happening !! I’m definitely going to continue.
Bro . just bought myself natures way mct oil...and was concerned about the benefits..u sure it works as u saying.. i know we all get different blood system..but who knows..
The placebo effect is a quite strong effect. But if it helps with wellbeing , thats not tested at all.
And there is just not much reasearch in general to say a lot.
So pertaining to " brain fuel ", there needs to be " more data/ more studies". However, it's surprising she didn't mention the many known benefits. One in particular would be weight loss and digestion.
Perhaps if you mention these studies, more people will know. What are they?
@@GurungyNoHamusterever heard of google, pal?
Thank you for clarity!😊👍
No mention of Stephen Cunnane' s studies on the ability of ketones to counteract the aging brains energy gap. Yes, metabolic flexibility from a mildly ketogenic diet is probably preferable. It's early days, but still I wouldn't dismiss MCT as a useful tool to offset the glucose shortfall, until something better comes along.
Yes if there is someone who knows then there is Dr Stephen Cunnane. I have read dozens articles published in scientific journals, there is a lot more and it is now estimated he wrote more than 350 of them.
There are a dozen videos on youtube where he explains all about one needs to know to start taking MTC to help to counteract the 10% brain energy gap of asymtomatic aging brains which is refered as mild cognitive impairment which precedes the diagnosis of Alzheimer deseas. He patented a ketone drink, Nestle started to comercialized it 'under 'brainExpert'', 15 ml twice a day for mild cognitive impairment. 15 ml a day is not a lot, but it was necessary to be that low to avoid at all cost diahrea. It is stated that's useless if you don't exercise, if you don't socialise and have no support, A google search of University of Sherbrooke and Stephen Cunnane will lead you to see his research.
I'm not sure anything better will come out soon. MTC play an essential crucial role to nourish baby brain long before birth and years to untill he becomes an adult. Dr Cunnane explains this very clearly in a podcast video here on youtube.
Beside 5 millions for a study with 300 people, the major issues with MTC oil are to overcome risks of diahrea. I have a condition prone to diarhea following a surgery to remove the colon to avoid cancer. To avoid to have diahrea every hour I relied on soluble fiber, it really helped when applied.
10 years later I began to have severe symtoms of immediate memory loose before covid but could not take care of that because I had to take care of my wife who had cancer and died when Montreal was on a lock down. Things kept worsening for me, missing air plaines, loosing computer, cell phones and the list could go on and on. At the end of this summer, 5 years after the first time I talked to my doctor about my memory, it was impossible to book an apointment. She offered me to prescribe a memory pill.
I began to take MTC oil after seeing a video of Mary Newport in September. I had a brain scan done in Mexico on november 28th. The results were devastating. The radiologist took a good time to show me that I was in serious condition, he had never a brain so petrified prior a diagnosis of AD.
I brought with me from Canada three suitecas loaded with dietary soluble fibers proteins and very high grade Urolethin A and spirilina. I began to take 20 ml of MTC every 3 hours. Now I take 30ml, and I take half avocado to avoid stomac cramp. I will cut that in half by December 20. I hope that cut that down by another half by january first to around 100 ml a day. Today I went out to look for a litre of canabis oil. Memory improved a lot since I started that november 28.
It"s seems that most of the cells didn't die, but will the Mito Pure which is 500 mg of Urolethin A hold it's promise to recycle these starved old cells? I will have a scan done in April before leaving Mexico. I will go down to Sherbrooke University where Dr Cunnane has his laboratory and show him the 2 scans. I'm sure that my touting with fibers over a decade will trigger his curiosity. I probably over did it, but I managed to avoid diarhea. Will he be interested to see the glucose and ketones flow? If yes I stay in Canada for a while, if no, stay with my kids and step sons and grand kids for a while before I flying back to Mexico and wait for them to visit me for seasonal winter hollidays
So it's only actually good for jump starting ketosis until we get more information.
Thank you for the update. Always solid!
Much love!
Since I started my body and mind has been working together my words and thought processing started going hand in hand its like... now that I've found it I cannot stop it cause if I do within a week and a half I feel the effects where my speech becomes a bit more messy I feel more depleted but when I do consume mct in my morning cup of tea sometimes coffee it just.... lights me up makes me feel like a new person I do not recommend it to anyone because once you start you cannot stop because if you do you will feel the after effect but overall it makes me feel amazing its like a new found dopamine like a new found cocaine....
Not testable, doesnt count for this dokter.
It doesn't need a prescription or an office visit, so some people try to downplay its benefits. I only started using it to get back into ketosis quicker. I did not know of the other benefits when I started using it. I add a tablespoon to my coffee 2 times per day. (I use the organic with C8/C10 only) I have more energy and focus throughout the day and I am deeper into ketosis than ever before. My memory is considerably better.
Wow, prior to watching this video I did not know of MCT oil. Something new to study and explore! Let's hope the lipid does not suffer the same fate trans fats. Thank you. We love consuming the brain health information you put out.
It’s our pleasure.
Mitochondria decoupling. Thats what is the most important benefit of consuming MCT oil. In other words MCTs gives your Mitochondria a break and tells it that it's ok to waste fuel as heat, and repair and relax instrad. That is what Ketones does. According to doc Steven Gundry.
The most sensible thing you said was "instrad".
Im taking it
Dont listen to her *lies*
How can we trust you if you say mct oil is in the palm oil, but it is in the palm SEED oil?
I don't understand your logic.
Studies don't change the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of a substance.
The best study is a study of one, if someone starts eating some coconut oil in their diet and sees an improvement what then would be your recommendation?
If they start eating it and see no improvement what would be your recommendation?
I seem to recall reading studies years ago saying that when someone was functioning on ketones their brains had a longer time before damage occurred when having a stroke and the penumbra was possibly less, there was a longer time available to restore blood flow or oxygenation.
Is my memory faulty?
What about people who are already using coconut oil in their normal daily cooking?
Is not recommending it the same as recommending the stopping of use?
Or are you being neutral here?
Do you have any thoughts on ketones?
A ketone diet is known to be beneficial for people who have epilepsy, did you think about these studies?
In the studies you referred to, did they test for blood ketone levels or not? Did they restrict carbohydrates?
Did they keep track of their diet? Did they categorize people with high insulin levels?
Many questions.
Yes, doctors give SUCH bad advice these days, and the way they do studies it's like the institutions want you to be sick. This is the EXACT truth... the best studoes come from tests on MYSELF and people I KNOW personally and often fly in the face of doctors of "medicine".
If I followed their advice I would be worse. I started to get better when I questioned their b***sh*t and started looking into holistic health outside of the very controlled, often maliciously and artificially so, academic study realm of peer reviewed kedical journals.
People make entire long documentarylies on just how so this so-called "science" is actually corrupted, and often destroys the scientific method from even being used.
I say, if I want a study done... I do it myself!

Your comment brought me back to this video.
I watched it again and got a bad feeling the same as I did the first time I watched it.
Even with the 20 person study she talks about, most of them were helped but she then says "we" don't recommend taking it.
I have a play-list on dementia.

Shes says science doesnt know. I dont live forever. So I will test for a month, n=1 study. Intermittant fasting, low slow carb, 45g C8 MCT oil, no gluten, whole food plant based and vegan. Exactly defined foods I eat and quantities. Finished the first week.
I can see a case for a wee bit of the long chain fats like EPA and DHA

I am 64 years old and I was my own study (Guinea pig) for four months and can
definitely confirm that mct oil does not help for me. All it did was raise my total blood cholesterol count through the roof.
Helps me do the opposite of what it did to you. If u ate in excess all you did was add fat and calories to your diet
What was your problem?
@@mballercrickets! probably the CEO for some big Pharma company 🤣🤣🤣
You'd think they do the studies first to then sell a healthy product. But instead they just come up with something to sell and then others have to do the studies to see if it actually helps. There should be a law where all money has to be given back to the customer if something turns out useless afterwards.
It’s not made in a lab!
Is MCT oil safe for those with anaphylaxis allergies to peanuts ?

Tired of these clowns playing “doctor”
MCT is so expensive. I'd rather buy food for my household. I cook and put a bit of coconut oil in my coffee and tea. This gives me some MCT without the expense!
Instead of focusing on MCT, which has not been proven, as the video states, it would be good to focus on omega-3‘s instead. Coconut oil has more than 90% saturated fat, which has long-term potential for damage. Good luck in your journey and much love to you!
@@TheBrainDocs that's disingenuous, its like saying don't eat bananas due to potassium overdose, nobody is deep frying their food in cocunut oil so the amount they'd interest for any proposed benifits would be no more than a few spoonfuls at most in a entiree day and usually even just 1 so that would be negligible.
MCT is a specific strain of coconut oil.
Please challenge the claim that the keto diet is a legitimate way to manage MS. (Oklahoma study?)
We did a podcast on the subject and the video will be uploaded on RUclips soon.
I must say that MCT oils may have let me enter into a Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
You prepared your content with very narrow thinking aiming criticizing others. You must have visited larger area with coconut and where there's no coconut and come up with conclusion
You don't even break down which MCT is it is it number eight number 10 number 12 well number 8 is the one that works so he sound like you don't have very much information so I don't take MCTOL but I don't see where you bring any evidence either way
not for me MCT, but coco oil is very good
Since it is only for 20 people and not a year’s worth I would say much more research needed to be done determine either way.
Obviously, you're neurologists, but it may bear mentioning that there seems to be a link between MCT oil and, uh, bowel issues, if you follow posts on "keto" and similar groups, where putting this stuff into everything is super popular. Eek. Thanks for all you do!
you can say whatever you want I made a fast just drinking coffee and ct and taking vitamins and electrolytes and lost 50 ounds in 3 months, and my blood test go PERFECT... what it really doesn´t work is the horrible boring diets Public health doctors recomend.
mct oil has no profit like those drugs sold by big pharma😂
Just another sale for not eating WFPB❤
Please, telling the, Hindi
Then do big studies!!!
Dangeorus stuff MCT oil. Gives you heart palpatations and stomach aches and cramps. I really felt like one of my arteries to the heart was blocked
Where are you getting this that it’s dangerous????????
