@@imsupermattt It is pretty amazing from my POV. It's like having a whole new life. I just wish some research could get done in this area so I wouldn't keep getting the clapback of "that's just an anecdote". It could save so many people from going through what I've been through for decades.
@@MatthewJohnson400 I eat ruminants, eggs, seafood with occasional dairy (a treat not a staple). I add some minor things for flavor such as spices and I drink non-caffeinated teas. Another occasional treat is low-zero sugar fruit such as avocado and berries. I eat once a day and I only get hungry once a day so this is not hard.

Fascinating research. He seems incredibly humble and approachable for his vast knowledge. Really appreciate this interview and any future ones with him.

This is an area where science is really being dragged along..If you start from an assumption that burning glucose is as primary fuel you will lag behind of reality. The human body like most other species was never meant to have glucose as an abundant food source unless you're a bee. People are supposed to be in ketosis much of their lives. Grains and easy access carbs are all from domesticated plants that should only be used to get you through times of lack of proper food. Get everyone on ketogenic diet and then see what's left to solve. Get the obvious toxins out of your diet glucose fructose and omega 6 fats. Eat an animal products based diet and most of everyone's health problems will be gone.
One of my Heroes. 🤍 8:43 So disappointed that he's not pushing into the human trials for other types of Cancer. Precisely because there _isn't_ enuf science already on it. This just insures that our relationships with our Oncologists stays really cynical and non-productive. 😧😥😭
@@DarkMoonDroid only a few small cancers dont use sugar for fuel. When I looked them up a few yrs ago most first few pages had references to cancer improvements with ketones. Id just search "ketones cancer" in google scholar.
At the 12m13s mark, Dom says in epilepsy/TBI, the ratio of glutamate to GABA goes down... but did he mean to say it goes up? i.e. glutamate is an excitatory amino acid and a keto diet can DECREASE glutamate by converting to GABA a inhibitory neurotransmitter (via glutamic acid decarboxylase)?
My brain doesn’t have the glucose spike/crash so much, but I have to say my memory, cognition motivation, enjoyment of life is not too there anymore. It’s hard to stick to as there’s no motivation to it apart from some pounds lost, after weeks with IT and keto, even a yoga workout can bore me rigid.
Is this sarcasm? I'll suggest a couple of things. First, coffee as it contains caffeine which is one methyl group from theophylline and the latter is said to cause hair loss so this maybe true of its chemical cousin (the former) ;-) Second, years ago I tried topical minoxidil and it advanced my hair line towards a younger me. Currently, I am thinking of using it again. I eat a low carb but not keto diet. I am not saying I am right rather I am just too tired or too lazy.

@@robinbeers6689 Hi Robin,
Are you still seizure free with this mostly carnivore approach?

Did it help you regain mobility?

Yes it’s helped my overall ability to move around and transfer to from my wheelchair . With less pain . Very helpful for ne
Currently recovering from stroke here I got multiple infarct
May I know what caused your tbi?
Thank you so much for talking about the anti-catabolic effect of ketones even during a fast.
I gotta start listening to this at work! Ur podcast is so awesome! Thank u for sharing!!
Dom always provides such interesting information. Thank you for this interview.
It’s great knowing that how I live is backed by science and not a money grab or ideology.

Well said!
It been a dream of mine for you to spend time with him and interview him.
Carnivore diet stopped my seizures. I wonder if this diet would help people with head injuries ie hockey
Dom is a class act
Great to hear from DOM again!
Combinning ketone salts or ester with mct oil makes ketone production more efficacious; sounds good.
One of my Heroes. 🤍

@F Rogers Are these Nof1? Cuz I need something that my Oncologist will consider "real science".

Are you sure you are in ketosis? Like being under 50 grams of carbs a day
@ 20:10 Ketones can be muscle-sparing...
So amazing
Amazing!! Cool! Statutory Warning??????
In other words, when natural bodybuilders are getting ripped, if they fast and take exogenous ketones, they'll lose less muscle. 😃 😎
Dom D’Agostino seems to have reversed his hair loss. I wonder what he’s doing...
