Over 50yo male. I’ve been on keto for almost a year, OMAD, with monthly 90hr fast. It took almost 4 months before all sugar, junk food cravings absolutely stopped. The 1st thing I noticed was decrease in joint pain, which occurred after about a week into keto. My mind is so clear. I can read for a long time without my mind going off on its own. My workouts at the gym has increased in intensity. BP is always slightly below normal 110/70. No mental issues, but I have noticed being more calmer and increased ability to deal with extreme stress
A case of fructose intolerance in a tiny child: I was recently called upon to think what might be 'wrong' with a little girl, not yet 4 years old, and her 2 year old sister. The bigger girly was experiencing bowel problems, diarrhoea, bleeding, tummy ache, and also behavioural oddities, like rocking herself. The younger toddler was having similar symptoms and signs, but to a lesser extent. I asked about food, of course, and the diet was already grain, dairy and nut free as the whole family has major food reactivity, but what struck me was when the keenness on blueberries. The bigger girl couldn't get enough of them! I suspected fructose intolerance, and asked them to stop all fruit for a week and report back, and provided them a vitamin C supplement. All her symptoms resolved, immediately. Behaviour as well as gut disruptions, normal again. I have written to their GP and they are going to be investigated for the various fructose issues that can be present. It's hard on this family as they already have a very narrow diet, but, with plenty of meat, fish, eggs and vegetables I think they will do fine. In time they'll experiment with small amounts of fruit, depending on what the investigations reveal.
Great information! Thank you for sharing. I have been on Keto and doing Intermittent Fasting for 9 months now, and have never felt better - emotionally and physically. I lost 50 pounds, and normalized my blood glucose readings. The inflammation in my body is gone; even my hands and feet are smaller. My sleep apnea vanished, and my GERD is gone, too. My skin looks and feels amazing! I look at least 5 years younger, as I was mistaken recently for my younger sister. Eat the foods our ancestors ate, those are the ones your body knows how to digest, and you can flourish again. Keto for life!
The carnivore diet has eliminated my chronic daily headaches and migraines after nothing else worked, even being on two different migraine medications. I’m so elated to be pain free, I can’t tell you! I had been feeling depressed, stressed, anxious and despair all from being in chronic daily pain. I had thoughts of offing myself it was so bad. Now I’m happy again, back to working out by riding my bike and I can laugh and have fun with my friends and family. Thank god I kept searching and stumbled upon the carnivore way of life! I hope more people find it too!
Dr. Eades, It’s CRITICAL to get this out to our young. Whilst my daughter 19, is very open to ‘hearing me’ she just cannot wrap her head around the mind/food connection. So much of this information is geared towards those whom are already open to hearing this information often a mature audience. -I’m 53. May I ask, no BEG, for this information to be put into an ANIMATION format that our young people (teens/20’s) will be receptive to hearing. For instance there is a great TH-cam animator named Swooze who would be perfect because he has ‘street creed’ with the kids. Anyone would work, just putting the information out there is one thing but getting young people to listen to it is another. Thank you so much!
This is so important, I see it in all my grandchildren…my daughters think like me but it is impossible to get their children to go against their peers. An excellent post.
In minute 18:12 Dr. Ede starts to speak about the subject of food addiction. I am very appreciative that she emphasizes the reality of this situation and how food addiction can be just as difficult an addiction to overcome as other widely acknowledged addictions, like drug or alcohol addiction. So many people still deny that food addiction is an addiction, and instead think that ones compulsive eating of food is simply a lack of willpower or a defect in ones character. They are dismissive, or are completely ignorant of how food can have a pronounced effect on the biochemistry of the brain. This is why you will see relatives and friends try to push someone who is attempting to change or has changed their diet to just "try a little bit of cake", and this is socially acceptable. They fail to realize that this "little bit of cake", while they can handle it, will lead to out of control binging in some people. Then these family members and friends will berate the person they tempted when they see them gain or regain weight. Conversely, these same relatives and friends would never compel their friend or relative who is a known alcoholic to have a little sip of scotch. I am glad to see more highly esteemed psychiatrists, like Dr. Georgia Ede and Dr. Chris Palmer lend more credence to food addiction being treated as a real addiction.
@Li Lu you may rarely hear about them, but people who will addictively eat ANY kind of food do exist. Any substance or behavior that induces dopamine response can be addictive.
I don't think it is so much that people deny food addiction exists, it is more that the mainstream media refuses to shine a spotlight on it (as the MSM protects the food and pharma industries who pay the bulk of their advertising revenue). If you are familiar with the patterns of addiction, you can clearly see the same patterns in people who are obese and have poor health. But most people either don't see it or figure it isn't real because the MSM would have said something etc. And Patricia is right, it is all about stimulating that dopamine response. You can see the same patterns in people who drink a lot of caffeine, or people addicted to attention seeking on social media etc. We are a society of addicts. People who are addicted to those dopamine highs are very likely deficient in serotonin (usually the result of poor nutrition), so they replace the long term feelings of satisfaction they would normally get from serotonin with short term feelings of satisfaction from dopamine. So it makes sense that a dietary change to improve nutrition (such as more red meat for additional minerals such as iron etc) would improve serotonin levels and reduce the dependence on dopamine.
Agreed. In fact, food addiction can be the most difficult because one cannot simply abstain from eating and we have to eat to stay alive whereas an alcoholic or drug addict can stop drinking or using altogether. I’m a recovered alcoholic, drug addict and food addict and the food part is very hard.
You are a treasure Dr. Ede. Thank you for having an open mind to follow whatever works for your patients. I have learned a lot listening to your presentations.
I suffered from general anxiety disorder for my whole life. It looks like I inherited it and passed it to my children. 12 years ago, I crashed and Klonopin saved me. I was up to 2 mg a day until a year and a half ago when I stopped the carbs. I have been off of Klonopin now for a while and I just fired my drug dealer, my psychiatrist which became necessary as GPs quit prescribing.
When i first started Keto, i had what I call a Super-Manic episode. I heard stories about increased mood and clearer thoughts, but i literally felt 'high' all day, every day...for a few months lol I went from a lazy sloth, sitting around all day, over weight, watching tv and eating donuts and ice cream every day to waking up early, doing 45 minutes HIIT workout, then 30 minutes ballet stretches or yoga, then i would go out kayaking for 2 hours every day lol. I crashed after about 5 months, lost ~50 pounds and all metabolic measurements are great now, yay. The depression after the crash was less deep, and was short-lived compared to previous depressive episodes i've had in the past. Sounds bad, but i really wish i could have more Super-Manic episodes :)
@@shelbyb9965 Dietitians are basically a kind of religious group posing as a scientific one. Read ‘The Dietitians’s Dilemma’. Don’t stop there and take that authors word for it though. It’s verifiably true. Undeniable even.
Thanks for sharing on this crucial topic! To add to this, Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause depression. Also, a person may eat lots of animal products (which contain B12), and still may not be adequately absorbing B12. Reasons for this malabsorption can include: history of having part of the intestine removed, having Crohn’s disease and associated intestinal inflammation, bacterial or yeast overgrowth, low stomach acid, taking meds that suppress stomach acid, and genetic predisposition!
Its pretty much impossible to binge on carnivore. The only exception to this is maybe dairy, like heavy cream. I could drink cups of stuff no problem. Meat cooked in fat? Not so much.
Dr. Ede what an awesome, informative, well deliered presentation. I have been following your work for years now. I think this just might be the best talk you've given on how diet affects brain chemistry. I especially like that your patients allowed you to share their stories. I will share this one with those in my life who are struggling mentally. Thank you
I think it is so awesome that you’re making this information available to help people. I have heard several great success stories about handling mental health problems...sometimes completely... with the carnivore diet. Thanks 🙏
Amazing information, just wonderful 🥰 I practice Plain and Simple Keto. Was able to leave my antidepressant medicine in the past ... I haven’t had any for a long time it must be 3 years by now.
This is a truly excellent lecture - concise, interesting and absolutely packed with vital information for those who wish to embark on their mental health wellness journey. Thank you so much for posting!
Thanks to keto, i have been off antidepressants for 8 years. I have had to add B vitamin supplements though. The core of my mental health problem seems to be an inability to digest B bitamins.
I found it helpful to think of carbs like I thought of nicotine when I quit smoking years ago. Instead of thinking of carbs as food, I think of them as very addictive, poisonous drugs which will kill me if keep using them. Carbs really are as addictive as nicotine, and just as deadly.
A number of 20th-century doctors wrote about the connection between diet and mental health. For more info read: “An Alternative Approach To Allergies” by Dr. Theron G. Randolph, MD - “Brain Allergies” by Dr. William Philpott, MD - “These Can Make You I’ll!” by Dr. Richard Mackarness. Books are available on Amazon.
I wish the “features of psychiatric conditions” had been known 25 years ago when I started down the rabbit hole of antidepressants and struggled with fatigue, poor immunity, allergies, and a myriad of digestive issues. And now? I just eat keto!!
You are definitely correct about food addictions. I'm almost carnivore now and I am struggling tremendously with a previous sugar addiction. I am down to using sweeteners but have found it practically impossible to just not eat something sweet after I have my carnivore meal. I know I can beat it but man is it tough.
I loved the presentation. I myself have lost over 60 kgs (down from 153 kgs to 93kgs) and am off insulin, metformin, etc. using low carb principles and regular exercise. As a community mental health worker I do not have the expertise to recommend strict keto diets but do encourage people with mental health issues and other people I know to cut out the "carbage" or at least reduce it somewhat. However living an Australian Country town access to medical services revolved around standard psychiatry reviews which means a nutritional referral is often not considered as part of the review. Please keep up the good education and possibly look at how front line workers (eg. Via Low Carb Down Under) could be trained.
This is Brandon William Combs, a prisoner of the insidious Oregon State Hospital in Junction City Oregon. We are forced on medications here and fed a high carb, low protein diet. We need help. Thank you.
I am so sorry Brandon. Word to others viewing this... Brandon's case is why we all must fight to stay out of the 'belly of the beast' in the first place. I hope you can escape Brandon.
the limit of talking about keto is that keto could be chicken breast and margarine as well as liver and grass fed butter (just to give two extreme examples). quality matters above all.
Actually, margarine would not be acceptable on any ketogenic diet as it is made of seed/vegetable oils. But certainly people who do not have large food budgets can still see enormous benefits from following a ketogenic (or carnivore) diet that fits within their budget. Dr. Ken Berry is a General Practitioner in a small town in Tennessee and he has many videos in which he discusses the benefits of ketogenic diets even if one can't afford to live on grass fed grass finished filet mignon.
@@debraengland3827 dear Debra, I well know margarine is not acceptable on any diet. Mine was just a way to say that we have to eat quality food. Here in Italy, for example, high nutritious food like liver and kidney, is the cheapest meat you you can find. I well know Dr. Berry as well, I really appreciate his videos. Have a nice day.
I stopped valproate after 20 years. Been medication free for nearly 3 years now.. No seizures and feeling balanced and clear headed. No more highs and lows. Thankyou this is very valuable information. My brother is in supported accommodation as he has schizophrenia. I would love to get him off his meds and on keto but I fear most drs just dont understand this and are reluctant to give it a go . God bless xx
27:55 When I was first diagnosed with hypoglycemia in the mid-1980s, the first diet sheet handed to me advised me to eat fats and proteins and avoid sugars; apparently, they were a little behind the times. Ah, if only I'd followed that first sheet and not gotten caught up in the sugar-is-fine-fat-is-evil thinking that was sweeping the country!
I ha e found more recently people advised to stop eating sweets, chocolates, cakes, biscuits, processed junk foods including sweetened yoghurt. They were advised to cook fresh meals every day. However they weren’t advised not to eat pasta, rice, bread and potatoes, or really cut down on them. This was for TTD
Thank you Dr Ede. Great talk. Any further information that you can give to why you list pregnancy as a absolute contraindication to being on a keto diet? Some notable partners of TH-cam Keto advocates (Janae Cywes - partner of Robert Cywes, Neisha Salas-Berry - partner of Ken Berry) have both recently been through keto pregnancies and have lovely little bubs. It does seem to me that if Keto was a natural ancestral diet then it likely didn't do any harm way back when..
Yeah, loads of people have had ketogenic pregnancies. Kelly Hogan has had three, and three smarter, cuter children you will never find. Many people can't even get pregnant at all until they go keto, which suggests to me that it's the healthiest diet for reproduction.
Ketosis is not nearly as important as getting linoleic acid out of your diet (omega six seed oils). Which basically steers you down the path of 1) no processed food (almost all have poly-unsaturated fats), eating more saturated fat (try adding stearic acid to your diet and watch the weight drip off of you), and eating much more cholesterol, which is a precursor for our hormones and is in every cell of our bodies (it also is used to make gall that breaks down dietary fat to be used as energy).
Keto and a reduced eating window has helped me feel so stable, lose weight back to healthy weight range, come off so many meds and reduce pain in my body. Carbs(like cereal, bread, rice, pasta) just make me starving. I don't miss them at all. The sugar high lows nightmare is over (No pasta bread rice for 2yrs) EAT real food, grassfed meat, freerange eggs, wild fish, low carb vegetables and AVOID processed food, sugars and cheap oils! Our health is our priority! Eating like my Grand Parents! PS got off antidepressants this year after being on them for 20yrs. I can feel again. Learning skills (ie emotional regulation) using DBT skills is better for long term health than meds. I feel "me" again! 💕🧘♀️ i just say "NO" to processed food, restaurant food and takeaway junk. They are not good enough to go in my body. "NO"✋👊 I have plenty of "YES" foods to choose from🙌 I enjoy Lindt 90% drk choc. It is higher fat(good for keto) and lower in sugar than 95% . It has about 4 ingredients. Check how many ingredients are in your fave choc. Experiment with yourself.
I found out I was sensitive to gluten and dairy by going on the ultimate elimination diet, carnivore [if going on carnivore doesn’t eliminate your symptoms after 4 weeks, try beef-only carnivore (the cow has a 4-chambered stomach, so processes it’s food better than other animals)]. Add 1 food back at a time. If you go on a carnivore diet you must supplement with potassium, magnesium and salt. I also take vitamin D and drink a cup of bone broth daily (made without any vegetables if you’re sensitive to them). I also found I couldn’t tolerate many vegetables due to plant oxalates and lectins. All my symptoms went away. Also many prescription meds and supplements have a starch or rice filler; if you’re gluten sensitive this can precipitate all your symptoms.
Very informative. However I am skeptical of the so-called contraindications she lists. I think in such instances it's important to gradually ease into keto as Dr. Eric Berg suggests by beginning with 3 meals a day
I wish i had known this before all the pills 💊 that is a painful journey if you make it through. Keto, intermittent fasting, no gluten, no sugar, no chemicals in cosmetics, gut health, no bad oils, and meditation may seem to much for alot of people but if you work on this one step at a time. You will feel alive and well. Pills will rob your very life. Thank the God's for for keto and intermittent fasting
Lorne, I don't have a link to that study. But Dr. Ede has a website with specific pages directed to different conditions. You might find some useful info there -- or perhaps even locate the study. She also offers online consultations on her website, so that might be an option for your relative. Here is the link to her Bipolar webpage: www.diagnosisdiet.com/blog-parent/category/bipolar-disorder
Have you considered the possibility that paleo is healthy, even therapeutic, for you and me, but not for everybody, who may be better able to digest and metabolize certain grains and beans ? Could the ABO blood type be a factor ? For more on this, see publications by Drs. D'Adamo and Mozzi.
That's usually only an issue for vegans or high oxalate diets. Keto flu describes the low energy state that occurs after removing carbs and before the body has time to optimize it's ability to oxidize fat . High carb will push enzymes required for fat metabolism down and they take time to increase. High fat of course does the exact opposite, handicapping ones ability to metabolize carbs requiring a some what similar transitioning.
@@dana102083 keto flu can be treated by increasing magnesium, potassium, salt & water in your diet. Oxalates dumping can cause pain (see Sally Norton). Also some people are sensitive to lectins in fruits and vegetables (see Dr. Paul Mason)
This is true for me. I was a raw food vegan for 10 years or so and continued with the smoothies etc well after resuming meat. But fasting or going keto or carnivore means you stop consuming oxalates and the body will then start to try to unload this stored up toxin. For me this feels like keto flu or whole body aches like a flu. It can also include some lower back pain and random shooting pains. Other people may have other symptoms like joint pain and old injury flare ups and specific tissue pains. Fyi, I have been on a very low oxalate diet for most of this year now. I experience oxalate dumping keto-flu like symptoms for a few days monthly right before my menstrual cycle. It is worth it to me to know I am getting rid of these toxins. Taking mineral supplements and extra lime water helps. Good luck folks!
Its electrolyte imbalance after lowering high glucose and lowering high insulin and lowering prediabetes and lowering diabetes... So taking none carb electrolyte water completely prevents Lego flu symptoms
This answers my question about milk. I love it. I know it has lactose. I'm addicted to it. I'm crazy about ice cream too. But that has loads of extra sugar. All I have to do is not buy it. But I like drinks. So milk especially. I've been trying goat milk. I love that too. I can go through a gallon of cow milk in two days, easily. Grass fed tastes better. Goat milk tastes wilder. I like un sweetened flavored seltzer water. I don't drink alcohol and recently eliminated cheese. I relieved terrible reflux I was having. Food, glorious food.
Some advice on the "people with depression got worse on keto" as someone who had/has depression keto did make it worse but not becouse keto was a problem, tasty food is extreamly addictive and gives me great joy, so when you kinda take out the junk food out i obviosly took a massive hit in negativity, but yeah i allready did weight loss with no sugar diets before so if you push trough 1 month it they go away and you can chill and stabilize
Oh wow, you give us hope .... a few year ago a lady came in to a nutrition clinic and was crying ... I asked her why she was crying .... She said .... I am in pain all over and my blood is wnl ... so the doctor wants to sent me to a psychiatrist ... Wow ....
All eliminate soy, corn amd wheat. Many paleo ppl are lower carb but can still eat starch veggies below the ground and fruits but no dairy. They may get into ketosis but it osnt primary goal amd not everyone does (coconut sugar is paleo but is high glycemic). Keto you can have dairy if you want, many choose to eliminate due to inflammation. Keto is a state of ketosis, meaning your blood sugars (and insulin) are low enough to use fats for fuel, so must restrict carbs enough to get to ketosis (usually less than 50g carbs for active people, 20g for sick or inactive people). The only fruits you can have on keto are berries, coconut, avocado, tomatoes, etc. Some choose to eat processed foods and stay below 20g carbs but generally they both existed to be nature whole food lifestyles but people will eat dirty keto and eat anything as long as it fits in their carb. I dont recommend that for anyone everyday but ok as a tool to better things, say passing thr keto flu or high stress times. Getting into ketosis is more beneficial due to the specific effect of ketones on hunger and on the brain which is important to correct eating habits for eating problems but also to access another form of energy when sugar isnt working well (insulin resistance). I have a "keto for chronic disease management" fb group for more resources if you like. Paleo is a great stepping stone to keto :)
@Rhysington Proost, I'm going to spell it out to you just to be pedantic. The context of that statement is that there are certain things you can eliminate from your diet -alcohol, sugar, seed oils. But you can't eliminate all foods from your diet. You have to eat something. Just like you have to breathe. You can't decide to stop breathing to prevent oxidation of the body. That was the point. BTW, it's why some people think that food taxes are unethical. Everyone has to eat. (just like everyone has to breathe) And, poor people typically end up paying more tax compared to their income and food intake.
@@martinirving3824 Yes, taxes on voluntary optional or luxury goods is ethical... or maybe also on foods that directly lead to disease like refined seed oils, sugar and artificial chemicals and candies etc... but agreeable not on healthy whole foods.
I have been unable to find professional help in B.C. Canada relating to keto in relation to mood disorders, binge eating and insulin resistance issues. I’ve been doing keto on my own for 4 months. It’s not easy.
Dr. Ede has a website full of resources and she also offers online consultations. Here is a link to the Mental Health webpage on her website: www.diagnosisdiet.com/blog-parent/category/mental-health. If you just need help with the ketogenic diet generally to improve your metabolic health, Dr. Ken Berry has a playlist of videos on Ketogenic Diet 101 bit.ly/KETO101 and a playlist on the Carnivore Diet 101 bit.ly/Carnivore101. He also has a couple of videos discussing Keto vs Carnivore: Which is Better. Many of the doctors who promote Keto diets have themselves shifted to the Carnivore (or Ketovore) diet because they feel best on it: Dr. Ede, Dr. Berry, Dr. Paul Mason, etc.
Why would pregnancy be a contraindication to a Keto diet? I'm sure you are aware of people like Kelly Hogan who were able to become pregnant through switching to a carnivore diet.
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 you don,t need as much food because keto/carnivore is the proper human diet. your body instinctually stops being hungry when you have all the nutrients that is required.
Liability. It certainly is helpful to regulate hormones to benefit but "dieting" is stressful on the body and not advised while fetus is growing. Most will say its best to become fat adapted for 3-6 months first so its less stressful during such an important time. From babys perspective, its best to have lower insulin and low blood sugar for its development and future risk for obesity and diabeted. I know many people myself that became pregnant amd stayed pregnant from ketosis and never stopped, not even for breastfeeding. She was always thin but had the acne amd messed up hormones.
I know this is long after the discussion but note people that Kelly Hogan does not eat keto. She eats a carnivore diet, only meat and a LOT of it and eats whenever she’s hungry until she is satisfied. I think most women that have problems on carnivore are making one or more of the following ‘mistakes’...1) Not eating enough. 2) Not eating enough fat. 3) fasting too much. 4) Working out too much. These same mistakes could also apply to men but the latter two are less of a problem for men it seems. Also, some women seem to ‘need’ some carbs at strategic points in their cycle, which, in my opinion may be evidence (since some are fine with zero carbs like Kelly Hogan) that they have not completely adapted perhaps. I think some people never really properly adapt (esp to keto), most often because they give up, but perhaps their fat metabolism is just too broken? It is known that full keto adaptation can take a very long time. In terms of pregnancy I don’t know, but suspect, that FULL and thorough keto adaptation would likely need to occur BEFORE pregnancy. I would think that while pregnant, that would be a dangerous time to go through adaptation to keto with a baby on board. Full adaptation may not even occur before the baby is born! Just seems fraught with potential problems. Which explains why there is literature advising against it - probably from women trying keto while pregnant or getting pregnant while still not fully adapted to it.
When we read on one slide this horrible anti-natural way of eating, no wonder that this poor teenager of 15 gets a sick brain. Some get neuro- mood problems with a far better diet - like me.. i started LCHF with TRE two years ago for weight-management (in fact no problem only my fancy) to discover that the great impact was neurological: I have become calmer with more patience less moods and less burstes of anger. I stick to the diet (bio whole foods: only vegetables proteins and nuts + very dark choco my addiction) because of this astonishing impact (had PTSD BPD no medicines. Behavioral T). I suppose that prior to that change I got with the "carby whole foods" some phytochemicals or proteins that under cover caused a kind of auto immune reaction, attacking some neurons colonies in my brain. We know NOTHING in the science about these phenomena.... The diet is very expensive a big problem..
Think about it all medications come from plants, people say that age care food taste bland because the herbs are not in there food and the herbs are actually medications years ago. The herbs effect or the same as the medication they are on .
2 years since this video was made and mental health problems in the West have sky rocketed. And it's all about diet.

About 15minute : Absolute Contraindications (Keto diet) - is Pregnancy????? 🤔 For me - no way to be pregnant and feed on carbs mostly! I am over my pregnancies but I have no doubt that keto diet is beneficial also for pregnant women.
Salicylates are chemicals in vegetables that can do people damage. Vegetables can't run away but the do have defenses that most people don't even know about.
We all need to boycott factory farms and unethical animal foods. Plants scream when threatened or damaged (per EKG readings). And carnivore foods can and should be produced with animal wellbeing and environmental health at the forefront of our thinking. Next step, we need to ascend out of polarity to a higher dimension where the lion can lie with the lamb, the dolphin with the fish and we can stop consuming things all together. Until then, most of humanity are obligate carnivores (to some degree) for proper health. We need to be compassionate to both ourselves and the rest of the planet.
Let's learn from the quokkas, the happiest animals on earth. Upfront, they are herbivores. An excellent way to battle insulin resistance is to switch to a healthy plant-based diet (see PMID: 29948369). It frequently ends the need for low carb diet. By reducing insulin resistance, cells will absorb the carbs from blood serum, resulting in more energy. PCRM has free delicious recipes. Also, eating meat and dairy does result in subconscious guilt, as consumers well-know the extreme suffering the animals are subjected to. Therefore, I strongly discourage a carnivore diet. The Ketogenic Vegan Diet is worth considering in this case.
Keto and paleo are fads. I'm shocked an MD is suggesting these diets when the benefits are inconclusive/controversial at best when it comes to the general population. Keto has benefits to certain people with specific ailments but it shouldn't be extrapolated to the broader population.
Considering our ancestors ate very much a keto equivalent for hundreds of thousands of years, it's completely illogical to call it a fad. The fad is the Standard American Diet that has only been in existence for 50-60 years. Less than a drop in the ocean on the historic timeline.
A state of ketosis is a natural part of metabolic flexibility that humans evolved to utilize. Fat metabolism, when one is fat/keto adapted is a more fuel efficient, higher energy-producing, mitochondrial performance-enhancing state compared with carbohydrate metabolism. Historically carbohydrate is the least environmentally-available macronutrient. Grains are a new fad relative to our evolution. Fruit used to be much lower in carbohydrate and higher in fiber and also very limited in quantity and duration (seasonality). So being adapted to go in and out of ketosis is a normal and healthy human capacity. What is a fad is having grains and unhealthy processed and carbohydrate-rich foods available 24-7-365. The movement for people to restore historic fat/keto adaptation into their metabolic capacities (while retaining carbohydrate adaptation as well) is well supported in the scientific literature. Since this is not taught in medical schools, and doctors get an hour of nutrition that programs them with limited and outdated misconceptions about nutrition and weight loss, you are right to notice that it is the rarer MD who is critically thinking and takes the time to research and explore outside of the sick-care medical model.
Let me tell y'all that waiting till you are 64-plus is foolish, but it is better than not doing it at all once the facts smack you in the face. Look, I was born in the fifties, a time when high carbohydrate processed foods came to become king of the mountain. I ate all the shit real or not. I had the mentality that they wanted me to have, that mentality being carbohydrate intake was good. Unfortunately I married a female... well, that ate aplenty once married... (sigh)... I found out that she definitely liked carbohydrates. Now totally away from the entrapment of a relationship of a female I am free to not be insane. Yes, LCHF is great, but for a man, not associating with a female (that including mothers and sisters), is very much part of the equation.
I’m pleased you have discovered a low carb way of eating but blaming women for what you put in your mouth is delusional. Heading down a misogynist route will do you no favours. May I remind you of the sex of the Doctor that you’re endorsing in this vid 🤷🏽♀️
Anyone can blame their relationship for influencing them to eat wrong for themselves. You sound like most women complaining about their less healthy husband. Probably good to drop the gender stereotype since it goes both ways (or all directions these days lol). Glad you are feeling better now though!

BUN is not the same thing as kidney stress. My calc GFR was over 90 when I was a year into LCHF. IGF1 is important for muscle growth. You get no dispute on cortisol. I have had cortisol issues being ketoish.
Over 50yo male. I’ve been on keto for almost a year, OMAD, with monthly 90hr fast. It took almost 4 months before all sugar, junk food cravings absolutely stopped. The 1st thing I noticed was decrease in joint pain, which occurred after about a week into keto. My mind is so clear. I can read for a long time without my mind going off on its own.
My workouts at the gym has increased in intensity.
BP is always slightly below normal 110/70.
No mental issues, but I have noticed being more calmer and increased ability to deal with extreme stress
I have gotten of all my meds including an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer for BP2 after a year on Keto!
*off of all your meds, and congratulations!
Robert That’s fantastic Robert. Well done you👍🌟
Can you message me so we can talk about this ?
Robert. Wow. So happy for you.
That sounds grate!
A case of fructose intolerance in a tiny child:
I was recently called upon to think what might be 'wrong' with a little girl, not yet 4 years old, and her 2 year old sister. The bigger girly was experiencing bowel problems, diarrhoea, bleeding, tummy ache, and also behavioural oddities, like rocking herself. The younger toddler was having similar symptoms and signs, but to a lesser extent. I asked about food, of course, and the diet was already grain, dairy and nut free as the whole family has major food reactivity, but what struck me was when the keenness on blueberries. The bigger girl couldn't get enough of them! I suspected fructose intolerance, and asked them to stop all fruit for a week and report back, and provided them a vitamin C supplement. All her symptoms resolved, immediately. Behaviour as well as gut disruptions, normal again. I have written to their GP and they are going to be investigated for the various fructose issues that can be present. It's hard on this family as they already have a very narrow diet, but, with plenty of meat, fish, eggs and vegetables I think they will do fine. In time they'll experiment with small amounts of fruit, depending on what the investigations reveal.
Great information! Thank you for sharing. I have been on Keto and doing Intermittent Fasting for 9 months now, and have never felt better - emotionally and physically. I lost 50 pounds, and normalized my blood glucose readings. The inflammation in my body is gone; even my hands and feet are smaller. My sleep apnea vanished, and my GERD is gone, too. My skin looks and feels amazing! I look at least 5 years younger, as I was mistaken recently for my younger sister. Eat the foods our ancestors ate, those are the ones your body knows how to digest, and you can flourish again. Keto for life!
The carnivore diet has eliminated my chronic daily headaches and migraines after nothing else worked, even being on two different migraine medications. I’m so elated to be pain free, I can’t tell you! I had been feeling depressed, stressed, anxious and despair all from being in chronic daily pain. I had thoughts of offing myself it was so bad. Now I’m happy again, back to working out by riding my bike and I can laugh and have fun with my friends and family. Thank god I kept searching and stumbled upon the carnivore way of life! I hope more people find it too!
Did you ever go to a chiropractor?
Dr. Eades, It’s CRITICAL to get this out to our young. Whilst my daughter 19, is very open to ‘hearing me’ she just cannot wrap her head around the mind/food connection.
So much of this information is geared towards those whom are already open to hearing this information often a mature audience. -I’m 53.
May I ask, no BEG, for this information to be put into an ANIMATION format that our young people (teens/20’s) will be receptive to hearing. For instance there is a great TH-cam animator named Swooze who would be perfect because he has ‘street creed’ with the kids. Anyone would work, just putting the information out there is one thing but getting young people to listen to it is another.
Thank you so much!

This is so important, I see it in all my grandchildren…my daughters think like me but it is impossible to get their children to go against their peers. An excellent post.
In minute 18:12 Dr. Ede starts to speak about the subject of food addiction. I am very appreciative that she emphasizes the reality of this situation and how food addiction can be just as difficult an addiction to overcome as other widely acknowledged addictions, like drug or alcohol addiction. So many people still deny that food addiction is an addiction, and instead think that ones compulsive eating of food is simply a lack of willpower or a defect in ones character. They are dismissive, or are completely ignorant of how food can have a pronounced effect on the biochemistry of the brain. This is why you will see relatives and friends try to push someone who is attempting to change or has changed their diet to just "try a little bit of cake", and this is socially acceptable. They fail to realize that this "little bit of cake", while they can handle it, will lead to out of control binging in some people. Then these family members and friends will berate the person they tempted when they see them gain or regain weight. Conversely, these same relatives and friends would never compel their friend or relative who is a known alcoholic to have a little sip of scotch. I am glad to see more highly esteemed psychiatrists, like Dr. Georgia Ede and Dr. Chris Palmer lend more credence to food addiction being treated as a real addiction.
@Li Lu you may rarely hear about them, but people who will addictively eat ANY kind of food do exist. Any substance or behavior that induces dopamine response can be addictive.
I don't think it is so much that people deny food addiction exists, it is more that the mainstream media refuses to shine a spotlight on it (as the MSM protects the food and pharma industries who pay the bulk of their advertising revenue). If you are familiar with the patterns of addiction, you can clearly see the same patterns in people who are obese and have poor health. But most people either don't see it or figure it isn't real because the MSM would have said something etc.
And Patricia is right, it is all about stimulating that dopamine response. You can see the same patterns in people who drink a lot of caffeine, or people addicted to attention seeking on social media etc. We are a society of addicts. People who are addicted to those dopamine highs are very likely deficient in serotonin (usually the result of poor nutrition), so they replace the long term feelings of satisfaction they would normally get from serotonin with short term feelings of satisfaction from dopamine. So it makes sense that a dietary change to improve nutrition (such as more red meat for additional minerals such as iron etc) would improve serotonin levels and reduce the dependence on dopamine.
Agreed. In fact, food addiction can be the most difficult because one cannot simply abstain from eating and we have to eat to stay alive whereas an alcoholic or drug addict can stop drinking or using altogether. I’m a recovered alcoholic, drug addict and food addict and the food part is very hard.
You are a treasure Dr. Ede. Thank you for having an open mind to follow whatever works for your patients. I have learned a lot listening to your presentations.
I suffered from general anxiety disorder for my whole life. It looks like I inherited it and passed it to my children. 12 years ago, I crashed and Klonopin saved me. I was up to 2 mg a day until a year and a half ago when I stopped the carbs. I have been off of Klonopin now for a while and I just fired my drug dealer, my psychiatrist which became necessary as GPs quit prescribing.
Carbs are evil.
As a retired adult educator, I must commend you on the quality of your slides.
Dr. Ede is a genius.
When i first started Keto, i had what I call a Super-Manic episode. I heard stories about increased mood and clearer thoughts, but i literally felt 'high' all day, every day...for a few months lol
I went from a lazy sloth, sitting around all day, over weight, watching tv and eating donuts and ice cream every day to waking up early, doing 45 minutes HIIT workout, then 30 minutes ballet stretches or yoga, then i would go out kayaking for 2 hours every day lol.
I crashed after about 5 months, lost ~50 pounds and all metabolic measurements are great now, yay.
The depression after the crash was less deep, and was short-lived compared to previous depressive episodes i've had in the past.
Sounds bad, but i really wish i could have more Super-Manic episodes :)
Hey help me with the diet my sister is having schizo
We all love the highs but unfortunately they’re really dangerous and destructive to the brain 😮 Wish you well getting back on track. Blessings 🙏🏽
Everyone with mental health problems should try this for a few months. What do you have to lose?
I guess the biggest problem is that most people Are severely addicted to sugar and carbs
Exactly
I have 36 minutes to potentially lose, so would you mind telling me exactly what you want me to try for a few months?
Keto is incredibly hard on the kidneys. Without guidance from a *registered dietitian* (which Ede is not), it can be pretty dangerous.
@@shelbyb9965 Dietitians are basically a kind of religious group posing as a scientific one. Read ‘The Dietitians’s Dilemma’. Don’t stop there and take that authors word for it though. It’s verifiably true. Undeniable even.
Thanks for sharing on this crucial topic! To add to this, Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause depression. Also, a person may eat lots of animal products (which contain B12), and still may not be adequately absorbing B12. Reasons for this malabsorption can include: history of having part of the intestine removed, having Crohn’s disease and associated intestinal inflammation, bacterial or yeast overgrowth, low stomach acid, taking meds that suppress stomach acid, and genetic predisposition!
True about binge eating!!!
After 17 years of binge eating l started keto a year ago, now carnivore. Zero binge episodes since carnivore.
Its pretty much impossible to binge on carnivore. The only exception to this is maybe dairy, like heavy cream. I could drink cups of stuff no problem. Meat cooked in fat? Not so much.
@@XXXmar123
Don’t you feel satiated after a good drink of cream?
@@fainitesbarley2245 Of course but 20 mins later im going for more. Same with cheese. There no off switch for me.
Dr. Ede what an awesome, informative, well deliered presentation. I have been following your work for years now. I think this just might be the best talk you've given on how diet affects brain chemistry. I especially like that your patients allowed you to share their stories. I will share this one with those in my life who are struggling mentally. Thank you
You are fantastic Georgia Ede! I do hope that Australian Psychiatrists can adopt your strategy also.
victoria Pun intended?
I think it is so awesome that you’re making this information available to help people. I have heard several great success stories about handling mental health problems...sometimes completely... with the carnivore diet. Thanks 🙏
I used KETO and now carnivore to get off my depression meds. I'm actually off all meds, even otc. Feel amazing!🥩
Thank you, Dr Ede. I wish I'd had a role model like you whilst I was a teen. It would be an exciting field to enter.
Amazing information, just wonderful 🥰 I practice Plain and Simple Keto. Was able to leave my antidepressant medicine in the past ... I haven’t had any for a long time it must be 3 years by now.
I love Georgia Ede. Thank you for the video.
This is a truly excellent lecture - concise, interesting and absolutely packed with vital information for those who wish to embark on their mental health wellness journey. Thank you so much for posting!
Thanks to keto, i have been off antidepressants for 8 years. I have had to add B vitamin supplements though. The core of my mental health problem seems to be an inability to digest B bitamins.
Have you heard Carrie Brown's story?
I just saw a video on high intensity health on b vitamins with gut dysfunction. Highly suggest it!
Watch out for pernicious anaemia. You may need Vit. B injections
Do you eat beef liver? Nutritional yeast?
Awesome video. Thank you Dr. Ede for compiling the research and for the anecdotes
Thank you, so well presented, especially warning of addiction difficulties, that I recommend your talk to everyone
I found it helpful to think of carbs like I thought of nicotine when I quit smoking years ago. Instead of thinking of carbs as food, I think of them as very addictive, poisonous drugs which will kill me if keep using them. Carbs really are as addictive as nicotine, and just as deadly.
Yeppers!!
A number of 20th-century doctors wrote about the connection between diet and mental health. For more info read: “An Alternative Approach To Allergies” by Dr. Theron G. Randolph, MD - “Brain Allergies” by Dr. William Philpott, MD - “These Can Make You I’ll!” by Dr. Richard Mackarness. Books are available on Amazon.
Thank you
I wish the “features of psychiatric conditions” had been known 25 years ago when I started down the rabbit hole of antidepressants and struggled with fatigue, poor immunity, allergies, and a myriad of digestive issues. And now? I just eat keto!!
great info from a pioneer in nutritional treatments!
You are definitely correct about food addictions. I'm almost carnivore now and I am struggling tremendously with a previous sugar addiction. I am down to using sweeteners but have found it practically impossible to just not eat something sweet after I have my carnivore meal. I know I can beat it but man is it tough.
Dr Georgia is Amaaaaaaazing on all fronts. Ty so much. God bless you.
I loved the presentation. I myself have lost over 60 kgs (down from 153 kgs to 93kgs) and am off insulin, metformin, etc. using low carb principles and regular exercise. As a community mental health worker I do not have the expertise to recommend strict keto diets but do encourage people with mental health issues and other people I know to cut out the "carbage" or at least reduce it somewhat. However living an Australian Country town access to medical services revolved around standard psychiatry reviews which means a nutritional referral is often not considered as part of the review. Please keep up the good education and possibly look at how front line workers (eg. Via Low Carb Down Under) could be trained.
This is Brandon William Combs, a prisoner of the insidious Oregon State Hospital in Junction City Oregon. We are forced on medications here and fed a high carb, low protein diet. We need help. Thank you.

This is Fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing this very important information with us all. Take care, stay safe & healthy too everybody. ❤🙂🐶
This was so wonderful - thank you so much!
the limit of talking about keto is that keto could be chicken breast and margarine as well as liver and grass fed butter (just to give two extreme examples). quality matters above all.
Actually, margarine would not be acceptable on any ketogenic diet as it is made of seed/vegetable oils. But certainly people who do not have large food budgets can still see enormous benefits from following a ketogenic (or carnivore) diet that fits within their budget. Dr. Ken Berry is a General Practitioner in a small town in Tennessee and he has many videos in which he discusses the benefits of ketogenic diets even if one can't afford to live on grass fed grass finished filet mignon.
@@debraengland3827 dear Debra, I well know margarine is not acceptable on any diet. Mine was just a way to say that we have to eat quality food. Here in Italy, for example, high nutritious food like liver and kidney, is the cheapest meat you you can find. I well know Dr. Berry as well, I really appreciate his videos. Have a nice day.
I and thank you. Are you able to share what medications can work against ketosis please. My daughter takes an SSRI.
I stopped valproate after 20 years. Been medication free for nearly 3 years now.. No seizures and feeling balanced and clear headed. No more highs and lows. Thankyou this is very valuable information. My brother is in supported accommodation as he has schizophrenia. I would love to get him off his meds and on keto but I fear most drs just dont understand this and are reluctant to give it a go . God bless xx
This video covers a lot of angles not covered elsewhere in Low-carb discussion.
27:55 When I was first diagnosed with hypoglycemia in the mid-1980s, the first diet sheet handed to me advised me to eat fats and proteins and avoid sugars; apparently, they were a little behind the times. Ah, if only I'd followed that first sheet and not gotten caught up in the sugar-is-fine-fat-is-evil thinking that was sweeping the country!
I ha e found more recently people advised to stop eating sweets, chocolates, cakes, biscuits, processed junk foods including sweetened yoghurt. They were advised to cook fresh meals every day. However they weren’t advised not to eat pasta, rice, bread and potatoes, or really cut down on them.
This was for TTD
Thank you Dr Ede. Great talk. Any further information that you can give to why you list pregnancy as a absolute contraindication to being on a keto diet? Some notable partners of TH-cam Keto advocates (Janae Cywes - partner of Robert Cywes, Neisha Salas-Berry - partner of Ken Berry) have both recently been through keto pregnancies and have lovely little bubs. It does seem to me that if Keto was a natural ancestral diet then it likely didn't do any harm way back when..
Probably because it can be too difficult to eat enough for modern humans who have evolved some.
Liability
Yeah, loads of people have had ketogenic pregnancies. Kelly Hogan has had three, and three smarter, cuter children you will never find. Many people can't even get pregnant at all until they go keto, which suggests to me that it's the healthiest diet for reproduction.
Ketosis is not nearly as important as getting linoleic acid out of your diet (omega six seed oils). Which basically steers you down the path of 1) no processed food (almost all have poly-unsaturated fats), eating more saturated fat (try adding stearic acid to your diet and watch the weight drip off of you), and eating much more cholesterol, which is a precursor for our hormones and is in every cell of our bodies (it also is used to make gall that breaks down dietary fat to be used as energy).
@Li Lu That guy seems obsessed with oils, while ignoring the even larger increase over the last century in refined carb, meat and dairy consumption.
carbs make my brain unhappy even if I avoid seed oils
yeah its quite difficult to take actual advise from someone who's name is "sidfor911truth". lol
Keto and a reduced eating window has helped me feel so stable, lose weight back to healthy weight range, come off so many meds and reduce pain in my body. Carbs(like cereal, bread, rice, pasta) just make me starving. I don't miss them at all. The sugar high lows nightmare is over (No pasta bread rice for 2yrs) EAT real food, grassfed meat, freerange eggs, wild fish, low carb vegetables and
AVOID
processed food, sugars and cheap oils!
Our health is our priority! Eating like my Grand Parents! PS got off antidepressants this year after being on them for 20yrs. I can feel again. Learning skills (ie emotional regulation) using DBT skills is better for long term health than meds. I feel "me" again! 💕🧘♀️ i just say "NO" to processed food, restaurant food and takeaway junk. They are not good enough to go in my body. "NO"✋👊
I have plenty of "YES" foods to choose from🙌
I enjoy Lindt 90% drk choc. It is higher fat(good for keto) and lower in sugar than 95% . It has about 4 ingredients. Check how many ingredients are in your fave choc. Experiment with yourself.
Thank you so much for this video!
I found out I was sensitive to gluten and dairy by going on the ultimate elimination diet, carnivore [if going on carnivore doesn’t eliminate your symptoms after 4 weeks, try beef-only carnivore (the cow has a 4-chambered stomach, so processes it’s food better than other animals)]. Add 1 food back at a time. If you go on a carnivore diet you must supplement with potassium, magnesium and salt. I also take vitamin D and drink a cup of bone broth daily (made without any vegetables if you’re sensitive to them). I also found I couldn’t tolerate many vegetables due to plant oxalates and lectins. All my symptoms went away. Also many prescription meds and supplements have a starch or rice filler; if you’re gluten sensitive this can precipitate all your symptoms.
Great presentation!
Very informative. However I am skeptical of the so-called contraindications she lists. I think in such instances it's important to gradually ease into keto as Dr. Eric Berg suggests by beginning with 3 meals a day
This is working for me
Anyone have a link to the study with the 2 bipolars getting off meds with keto? I ha e a family member who needs convincing
🙏🙏🙏
I wish i had known this before all the pills 💊 that is a painful journey if you make it through. Keto, intermittent fasting, no gluten, no sugar, no chemicals in cosmetics, gut health, no bad oils, and meditation may seem to much for alot of people but if you work on this one step at a time. You will feel alive and well. Pills will rob your very life. Thank the God's for for keto and intermittent fasting
Lorne, I don't have a link to that study. But Dr. Ede has a website with specific pages directed to different conditions. You might find some useful info there -- or perhaps even locate the study. She also offers online consultations on her website, so that might be an option for your relative. Here is the link to her Bipolar webpage: www.diagnosisdiet.com/blog-parent/category/bipolar-disorder
Have you considered the possibility that paleo is healthy, even therapeutic, for you and me, but not for everybody, who may be better able to digest and metabolize certain grains and beans ? Could the ABO blood type be a factor ? For more on this, see publications by Drs. D'Adamo and Mozzi.
Blood type is not a good indicator of one's optimal diet. The blood type diet has been well debunked.
Very informative.
I heard some on the other day that "keto Flu" may have to do with Oxalate dumping
That's usually only an issue for vegans or high oxalate diets.
Keto flu describes the low energy state that occurs after removing carbs and before the body has time to optimize it's ability to oxidize fat .
High carb will push enzymes required for fat metabolism down and they take time to increase. High fat of course does the exact opposite, handicapping ones ability to metabolize carbs requiring a some what similar transitioning.
You hear oxalate dumping more in the carnivore community going from plants to no plants.
@@dana102083 keto flu can be treated by increasing magnesium, potassium, salt & water in your diet. Oxalates dumping can cause pain (see Sally Norton). Also some people are sensitive to lectins in fruits and vegetables (see Dr. Paul Mason)
This is true for me. I was a raw food vegan for 10 years or so and continued with the smoothies etc well after resuming meat. But fasting or going keto or carnivore means you stop consuming oxalates and the body will then start to try to unload this stored up toxin. For me this feels like keto flu or whole body aches like a flu. It can also include some lower back pain and random shooting pains. Other people may have other symptoms like joint pain and old injury flare ups and specific tissue pains. Fyi, I have been on a very low oxalate diet for most of this year now. I experience oxalate dumping keto-flu like symptoms for a few days monthly right before my menstrual cycle. It is worth it to me to know I am getting rid of these toxins. Taking mineral supplements and extra lime water helps. Good luck folks!
Its electrolyte imbalance after lowering high glucose and lowering high insulin and lowering prediabetes and lowering diabetes... So taking none carb electrolyte water completely prevents Lego flu symptoms
Keto is very safe, even optimal for pregnancies but you want to be fat adapted BEFORE the pregnancy.
This answers my question about milk. I love it. I know it has lactose. I'm addicted to it. I'm crazy about ice cream too. But that has loads of extra sugar. All I have to do is not buy it. But I like drinks. So milk especially. I've been trying goat milk. I love that too. I can go through a gallon of cow milk in two days, easily. Grass fed tastes better. Goat milk tastes wilder. I like un sweetened flavored seltzer water. I don't drink alcohol and recently eliminated cheese. I relieved terrible reflux I was having. Food, glorious food.

What is the mainline separating a paleo diet with keto?
All eliminate soy, corn amd wheat. Many paleo ppl are lower carb but can still eat starch veggies below the ground and fruits but no dairy. They may get into ketosis but it osnt primary goal amd not everyone does (coconut sugar is paleo but is high glycemic). Keto you can have dairy if you want, many choose to eliminate due to inflammation. Keto is a state of ketosis, meaning your blood sugars (and insulin) are low enough to use fats for fuel, so must restrict carbs enough to get to ketosis (usually less than 50g carbs for active people, 20g for sick or inactive people). The only fruits you can have on keto are berries, coconut, avocado, tomatoes, etc. Some choose to eat processed foods and stay below 20g carbs but generally they both existed to be nature whole food lifestyles but people will eat dirty keto and eat anything as long as it fits in their carb. I dont recommend that for anyone everyday but ok as a tool to better things, say passing thr keto flu or high stress times. Getting into ketosis is more beneficial due to the specific effect of ketones on hunger and on the brain which is important to correct eating habits for eating problems but also to access another form of energy when sugar isnt working well (insulin resistance). I have a "keto for chronic disease management" fb group for more resources if you like. Paleo is a great stepping stone to keto :)
18:30 "you have to eat every day"
no you dont
Perhaps she might have said "you have to eat periodically"
"you need to have 7 days worth of energy and nutrients in 7 days"
@Rhysington Proost,
I'm going to spell it out to you just to be pedantic.
The context of that statement is that there are certain things you can eliminate from your diet -alcohol, sugar, seed oils. But you can't eliminate all foods from your diet. You have to eat something. Just like you have to breathe. You can't decide to stop breathing to prevent oxidation of the body.
That was the point.
BTW, it's why some people think that food taxes are unethical. Everyone has to eat. (just like everyone has to breathe) And, poor people typically end up paying more tax compared to their income and food intake.
@@martinirving3824 Yes, taxes on voluntary optional or luxury goods is ethical... or maybe also on foods that directly lead to disease like refined seed oils, sugar and artificial chemicals and candies etc... but agreeable not on healthy whole foods.
I have been unable to find professional help in B.C. Canada relating to keto in relation to mood disorders, binge eating and insulin resistance issues. I’ve been doing keto on my own for 4 months. It’s not easy.

Dr. Ede has a website full of resources and she also offers online consultations. Here is a link to the Mental Health webpage on her website: www.diagnosisdiet.com/blog-parent/category/mental-health. If you just need help with the ketogenic diet generally to improve your metabolic health, Dr. Ken Berry has a playlist of videos on Ketogenic Diet 101 bit.ly/KETO101 and a playlist on the Carnivore Diet 101 bit.ly/Carnivore101. He also has a couple of videos discussing Keto vs Carnivore: Which is Better. Many of the doctors who promote Keto diets have themselves shifted to the Carnivore (or Ketovore) diet because they feel best on it: Dr. Ede, Dr. Berry, Dr. Paul Mason, etc.
Why would pregnancy be a contraindication to a Keto diet? I'm sure you are aware of people like Kelly Hogan who were able to become pregnant through switching to a carnivore diet.
Difficult to eat enough
@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 you don,t need as much food because keto/carnivore is the proper human diet. your body instinctually stops being hungry when you have all the nutrients that is required.
Liability. It certainly is helpful to regulate hormones to benefit but "dieting" is stressful on the body and not advised while fetus is growing. Most will say its best to become fat adapted for 3-6 months first so its less stressful during such an important time. From babys perspective, its best to have lower insulin and low blood sugar for its development and future risk for obesity and diabeted. I know many people myself that became pregnant amd stayed pregnant from ketosis and never stopped, not even for breastfeeding. She was always thin but had the acne amd messed up hormones.
I know this is long after the discussion but note people that Kelly Hogan does not eat keto. She eats a carnivore diet, only meat and a LOT of it and eats whenever she’s hungry until she is satisfied. I think most women that have problems on carnivore are making one or more of the following ‘mistakes’...1) Not eating enough. 2) Not eating enough fat. 3) fasting too much. 4) Working out too much. These same mistakes could also apply to men but the latter two are less of a problem for men it seems. Also, some women seem to ‘need’ some carbs at strategic points in their cycle, which, in my opinion may be evidence (since some are fine with zero carbs like Kelly Hogan) that they have not completely adapted perhaps. I think some people never really properly adapt (esp to keto), most often because they give up, but perhaps their fat metabolism is just too broken? It is known that full keto adaptation can take a very long time. In terms of pregnancy I don’t know, but suspect, that FULL and thorough keto adaptation would likely need to occur BEFORE pregnancy. I would think that while pregnant, that would be a dangerous time to go through adaptation to keto with a baby on board. Full adaptation may not even occur before the baby is born! Just seems fraught with potential problems. Which explains why there is literature advising against it - probably from women trying keto while pregnant or getting pregnant while still not fully adapted to it.
When we read on one slide this horrible anti-natural way of eating, no wonder that this poor teenager of 15 gets a sick brain.
Some get neuro- mood problems with a far better diet - like me.. i started LCHF with TRE two years ago for weight-management (in fact no problem only my fancy) to discover that the great impact was neurological: I have become calmer with more patience less moods and less burstes of anger. I stick to the diet (bio whole foods: only vegetables proteins and nuts + very dark choco my addiction) because of this astonishing impact (had PTSD BPD no medicines. Behavioral T). I suppose that prior to that change I got with the "carby whole foods" some phytochemicals or proteins that under cover caused a kind of auto immune reaction, attacking some neurons colonies in my brain. We know NOTHING in the science about these phenomena.... The diet is very expensive a big problem..
Eh I wouldn't put pregnancy as a complete contraindication. You just have to make a few adjustments

what about the horror these beautiful creatures go thru for you?
We all need to boycott factory farms and unethical animal foods. Plants scream when threatened or damaged (per EKG readings). And carnivore foods can and should be produced with animal wellbeing and environmental health at the forefront of our thinking. Next step, we need to ascend out of polarity to a higher dimension where the lion can lie with the lamb, the dolphin with the fish and we can stop consuming things all together. Until then, most of humanity are obligate carnivores (to some degree) for proper health. We need to be compassionate to both ourselves and the rest of the planet.

keto carnivore is the only way I can survive, even just a few bites of onion is too much plants

Let's learn from the quokkas, the happiest animals on earth. Upfront, they are herbivores. An excellent way to battle insulin resistance is to switch to a healthy plant-based diet (see PMID: 29948369). It frequently ends the need for low carb diet. By reducing insulin resistance, cells will absorb the carbs from blood serum, resulting in more energy. PCRM has free delicious recipes. Also, eating meat and dairy does result in subconscious guilt, as consumers well-know the extreme suffering the animals are subjected to. Therefore, I strongly discourage a carnivore diet. The Ketogenic Vegan Diet is worth considering in this case.
Yep, works for autism!
Keto and paleo are fads. I'm shocked an MD is suggesting these diets when the benefits are inconclusive/controversial at best when it comes to the general population. Keto has benefits to certain people with specific ailments but it shouldn't be extrapolated to the broader population.
Considering our ancestors ate very much a keto equivalent for hundreds of thousands of years, it's completely illogical to call it a fad. The fad is the Standard American Diet that has only been in existence for 50-60 years. Less than a drop in the ocean on the historic timeline.
A state of ketosis is a natural part of metabolic flexibility that humans evolved to utilize. Fat metabolism, when one is fat/keto adapted is a more fuel efficient, higher energy-producing, mitochondrial performance-enhancing state compared with carbohydrate metabolism. Historically carbohydrate is the least environmentally-available macronutrient. Grains are a new fad relative to our evolution. Fruit used to be much lower in carbohydrate and higher in fiber and also very limited in quantity and duration (seasonality). So being adapted to go in and out of ketosis is a normal and healthy human capacity. What is a fad is having grains and unhealthy processed and carbohydrate-rich foods available 24-7-365. The movement for people to restore historic fat/keto adaptation into their metabolic capacities (while retaining carbohydrate adaptation as well) is well supported in the scientific literature. Since this is not taught in medical schools, and doctors get an hour of nutrition that programs them with limited and outdated misconceptions about nutrition and weight loss, you are right to notice that it is the rarer MD who is critically thinking and takes the time to research and explore outside of the sick-care medical model.
Its not a fad if you stay on it and never stop
Let me tell y'all that waiting till you are 64-plus is foolish, but it is better than not doing it at all once the facts smack you in the face. Look, I was born in the fifties, a time when high carbohydrate processed foods came to become king of the mountain. I ate all the shit real or not. I had the mentality that they wanted me to have, that mentality being carbohydrate intake was good. Unfortunately I married a female... well, that ate aplenty once married... (sigh)... I found out that she definitely liked carbohydrates. Now totally away from the entrapment of a relationship of a female I am free to not be insane. Yes, LCHF is great, but for a man, not associating with a female (that including mothers and sisters), is very much part of the equation.
WTF are you talking about?
I’m pleased you have discovered a low carb way of eating but blaming women for what you put in your mouth is delusional. Heading down a misogynist route will do you no favours. May I remind you of the sex of the Doctor that you’re endorsing in this vid 🤷🏽♀️
Are you sure you're not latently homosexual?
Anyone can blame their relationship for influencing them to eat wrong for themselves. You sound like most women complaining about their less healthy husband. Probably good to drop the gender stereotype since it goes both ways (or all directions these days lol). Glad you are feeling better now though!

Mic the Vegan
🤪🤪🤪 Mike the vegan ! From ancient language meaning BAD HUNTER!
BUN is not the same thing as kidney stress.
My calc GFR was over 90 when I was a year into LCHF.
IGF1 is important for muscle growth.
You get no dispute on cortisol. I have had cortisol issues being ketoish.
Too much protein and not enough fat can stress the kidneys.
Nice video but it would only be 10 minutes long if you didn't day UMMM every other word....
Well, factually you're wrong. I counted 4 instances of more than 15 words in sequence without an 'umm' in a less than 5 minute segment of the video.
On the 3 dots rt upper corner of the video,you can click and speed up to play fast ...put the settings from normal to 2x
Idiot
Good lord, then skip the video. It's not about you.
