Once again Dr. Boz, I think you are sharing things that are so foreign to all that understand the food pyramid...the insight into the causal wisdom and corrective insight is just so fun to grasp, you are a great teacher and I appreciate your work!
Great video dr Boz! Glad you put all the brains together, that was helpful..or leave a control brain beside changes would be super helpful. Sending this to my family xo
Dr. Boz, I'm loving your content. One suggestion: Create or edit out shorter 3:00-5:00 segments that contain the essential information on just one specific subject.
I find certain parts of this video quite confusing. Firstly, is there a study that was done, from where you are deriving this information from? Secondly, what kind of study was it and what was the sample size of patients involved? Most importantly, if the alzhemer's patients were Keto-adapted and had widespread ketone burns, was there any improvement in their condition? From what I understood, both the patients in the control as well as the one with injected ketones had some form of alzheimer's. What then, was the rate of improvement, if any?
Listen to This Doctor Ya'll Her Knowledge Will Change Your Life ...Don't Listen to the add b4 the video starts. I'll be 55 in May . I've gone from a 52 inch waist to a 32 inch waist in 19 months. I've watched 10k hours on RUclips. Boz is The Incredible KETO OZ !!!!!!
Hi Dr. Boz, oh how I love your videos and am devouring them. Pretty close to binge watching. Ha! It's 2023 and I realize no one from your group may be reading comments on this particular video anymore. The slide where you explain where glucose comes from, the word "dessert" is misspelled. It's the "desert" on the slide. On the slide where you explain where ketones come from the word "mayonnaise" is misspelled. It should have two "n". Thanks again for all you do!
My glucose was 300+ a year ago, put myself on Keto against Dr's advise. I am now off of insulin and no inflammation! I still have fbs for 110 to 125 but I feel so much better. Now I need to work on getting over the fbs hump.
If the brain is starving from glucose energy then why force the brain to use ketones? Just eating heigh complex carb diet produce good amount of glucose right? Please explain why use ketones when brain naturally prefers glucose?
Because of insulin resistance. The cells in the brain have become insulin resistant and the glucose in the blood cannot get into the brain cells. Eating more glucose would jus cause insulin resistance to get worse. Switching to burning ketones and using ketones for fuel instead reverses insulin resistance and the brain cells can use the ketones for fuel instead.
Okay, here's my question. I get it that insulin resistance causes the brain to be energy deprived which is when it starts using ketones. But, could it be that in healthy brains and bodies which are not insulin resistant, the brain prefers glucose? That it only uses ketones when it can't process glucose and is basically starving? Very interested to hear your take. Thank you!
This video comes to the conclusion that healthy brains will always prefer beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB -ketone body) over glucose. That's the point of this video.
Great question. I was wondering the same thing. I hope she, or someone, can answer this. Dr. Joseph Mercola is now saying that "While ketones are generally known to be good for your brain and lower inflammation, your brain cannot function on ketones alone. It requires glucose. If you do not consume enough carbs, your body will sacrifice muscle tissue to make the glucose it needs." Also, that "Your body activates the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline in order to produce ketones. And this is dangerous long term." He claims he is now consuming 500 to 600 grams of carbs a day, mostly from fruit! I've been strict BBBE carnivore for over 7 months now and doing great. I hope Mercola is wrong, but I'm now a bit concerned.
I'd be careful with chicken wings. Most times the sauces they come with are loaded with sugar. On the other hand, I love low glycemic vegetables. I cook them with a little butter. They fill me up and they keep me regular. Just sayin....
What I've learned is a great YT channel and LowCarbDownUnder of course and Robert Lustig's videos. So many now! Also...check out the new film on Amazon Prime, called "FAT FICTION". It's very well done!
Also note latest research on Alz showing of two brain glucose receptors one may be faulty, so having an alternative fuel like ketones could be a big plus to Alzheimer’s patents, would be good to see research on this.
Why are there no nuts or seeds for the diagram for the ketones associated foods? This type of diagram is what makes people think Keto means meat diet. It's misleading.
16:36 is the key message that needs to be reinforced as to "Why?" before you even move to the "adding ketones" phase. As you said, the bloodstream continues to provide adequate (and even excess) glucose for people with Alzheimer's, but their brain cells are no longer using it. This is the key point of Insulin Resistance that needs to be explained here. I like to compare a young healthy brain cell to a corn flake (yea, I know) and an aged Alzheimer's brain cell to a sugar frosted corn flake. I think that this analogy can be useful to help others visualize how new glucose may have a harder time making it through the sugar coating (glycation) on the brain cells and over time lead to Advanced Glycation End-products (AGE) effects.
My mother has dementia and lives in a care home. Their meals are all extremely high carb, very low fat. I've attempted to tackle them on this but no joy yet. (I've no legal powers there.) She's put on many kilos but it's okay because 'Doc says she's not diabetic.' Is there something I can take her regularly that will help? Some MCT oil, perhaps? Thank you for all your amazing videos, I've just bought your book today!
How can I be in ketosis in the morning, and eat nothing all day except for coffee with HWC and have my ketones go down? Or be in the high carb range on my breathylzer after fasting 16 hours? Im struggling to get into ketosis at all after a full month of carbs under 20g. and then I get kicked out without even putting anything in my mouth:(
Interesting excellent video. Another video I watched told me the the brain 🧠 can survive with no glucose at all!! Doesn’t look like it, I’d say. I fast a lot and after 3 days my blood sugar gets very low (less than 3!)
lahut that is what I have learned as well . Our body is self sufficient in this case as it can't rely on us to supply the crucial elements for survival .
👍👍👍💪💪💪Great sharing, Guess you are like me, using mmol/L. Yes, I have gone that low w/o understanding I was most likely on ketosis - about 20mths ago. Just couldn't eat properly after my heart-bypass and almost ended up in kidney dialysis. Those not able to eating might have played a role in saving my kidney. Of course, most importantly its the Good Lord & I give thanks & all Glory to JESUS. Not knowing better, I religiously swallow pure sugar to "get it up"😅, if tt doesn't work... god speed to Emergency Dept. What an ordeal needlessly. Thx for sharing your experience, it helps a ton😊!
The brain can’t run entirely on ketones. This study they supplemented with ketones. That’s not the same as being on a Keto diet, and the brain has no glucose other than gluconeogensis. Which is probably why studies have shown the dangers to the liver and kidneys from the constant strain on them to keep the blood sugar levels from being too low. I would not recommend putting children on Keto diet unless have seizures. You are risking damage to the liver and kidneys for the reward of brain health when there is not enough information to be conclusive for what you are concluding. It’s also been shown cannabis can combat epilepsy/seizures and promotes brain health. I wouldn’t recommend keto unless someone has brain damage or some kind of brain disease, and even then it’s more of using ketones as supplement vs keto diet
Babies are born in ketosis, and small children go to ketosis way easier than adults. Like overnight, even if they ingest carbs during the day. Keto is as natural as sun rising in the morning
Dr Boz I’m a little confused you say that it’s healthier to train your brain to use ketones but the most unhealthy brain that has Alzheimer’s is using the most ketones per glucose ratio so why then is that causing all the issues?
That unhealthy brain (the one that had Alzheimer’s) got it by ONLY USING Glucose. When ketones were returned to the options, that diseased brain was successful in using the ketones within 4 days from exposure to the ketones.
@@DoctorBoz👍👍👍👍👍 yes, was also confused & believe I must hv missed the point. A friend of mine has been discouraging me to do low carb b/c she said prolong period of low carb WILL FRIED my brain & human brain & body is made to be fueled by Carb & only by ketone when needed in an emergency. So it is unnatural and damaging for health to be in prolong ketosis & I am IF too often. I didn't know how to refute her, but IF & low Carb has kick me off Diabetic meds, reduced 24kg to date since mar2023. First time feeling more alive & younger since I was diagnosed with diabetes since 1999. If our medical system has not been misled into the wrong direction, I would not have developed multiple complications: Retinopathy, Neuropathy, Nephropathy & tripple heart-bypass (likely calcium & metformin) and other minor related health issues. Thank you very much for equiping us with the knowledge to reign victorious over this nemesis. May the good Lord JESUS bless you & all your beloved family. L❤ve in Chris✝️.
Theres lots of causes to diarrhea amd inflammation is a big one. Make sure you tryit for a few months minimum to see of you cam start healing the got. Keep an open mind that your doctors could be wrong.. A lot of people on keto were told onething but symptoms disappeared on keto.
Start by intermittent fasting on your current diet and over a month, lower your carb intake and quit soda, candy and cakes etc. After a month, throw in a 24-48hr fast and when you break your fast, go full on Keto... don’t over eat proteins. I’d quit all dairy immediately.
My diarrhea causes 1. Certain medications, e.g. glyburide 2. Milk, at 50 years old, I became lactose intolerant 3. Certain artificial sweetners, e.g., xylitol. The diet has never been the cause for me, but the cure
@@rickharms1 well antidiabetic meds are known for diarrhea, and polyols like xylitol, sorbitol, erithrytol, are known to cause gastrointestinal upset. But ketosis can significantly reduce insulin and blood sugars for a diabetic, which is the state a fast puts you in as well as eating a ketogenic diet. Please see videos by dr. Fung. The obesity code is great but ling and he is the fasting guru. Eat food to heal the diabetes. Not changing anything wont get you change..
I don’t eat animals and everything on your list is an animal product. I don’t believe you have to eat an animal to get the ketones there has to be another way.
Hmm... Perhaps intermitten fasting & low carb might be something you could look at. If you need carb, Avocado is what I eat for my OMAD IF. Olive oils & Coconut MCT oil & >85% Dark chocolate also on my list. I am not after ketosis but Autophagy, though ketosis might help me reach tt Goal.😊

Really good video but it seems like a repost. Oh well, doesn't hurt to be reminded.
Hi, is it since ketones increase brain function. Does it mean If I do Keto my schizophrenia will be better and I mean the symptons
Also note latest research on Alz showing of two brain glucose receptors one may be faulty, so having an alternative fuel like ketones could be a big plus to Alzheimer’s patents, would be good to see research on this.

Would love more like this! Wish I would have known all this when my mom had Alzheimer's.
Is there some way i can ask a question to Dr.Boz? Help:(
Terrie Krzysik , save your own brain, change your genetic expression. Start early .
Christine Karklins , take the cream away, add MCT.
Switch to carnivore diet for few weeks , add some endogenous ketones ...
Good luck !

She always sounds confusing I think
I heard that epilepsy patients will stay seizure free on Ketogenic diet
Only if they keep their #dbr (Dr Boz Ratio) under a certain number. Usually it is less than 40
Can you please add a link to the actual study??
