i’m sooo delighted you’re doing this! i started keto a few months ago because i was drifting into diabetes and have found it really effective. the absolute biggest thing that happened was that chronic - i mean chronic - headache went away and hasn’t returned. i’m hoping your series will include effect of exogenous ketones on the brain, because an old brain like mine needs all the help it can get!
That’s wonderful news, Hellie. This particular series is only focused on blood sugar, but I can certainly cover the brain effects in the future. You can thank subscriber ‘Little Voice’ for this topic recommendation. :)
@@Physionic yes please do cover effects of ketones on cognitive function and inflammation as well. It's hard to trust studies presented by some keto influencers since they are sometimes sponsored by the "health" industry. also wondering if keto diet raises stress hormones chronically and if that's a bad thing. Thanks!
I think there is no benefit of supplementing ketones for blood sugar control when compared to simply eating less carbohydrates. The best case for supplementing ketones would be for Alzheimer's patients whose brains need the ketones but due to their situation is almost impossible for them to follow a ketogenic diet.
Ahhh the NO. ONE topic I've been looking out for since discovering exogenous ketones. I heard of research combining exogenous ketones with a carb meal and it reduced blood sugar spike independent of meal composition.
I am not sure if it was the alcohol or the fasting that did it, but I fasted about 10hours. My blood sugar was 160, which is on the high side. But my Ketones were at 2.2. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I thought my blood sugar had to be low to be making ketones.
Hi! This is an unrelated question but do you still maintain the cognitive effects of creatine supplementation during the maintenance portion of a creatine cycle where you're supplementing between 5g a day opposed to the 10-20g during the loading phase; the phase where participants, in a study you discussed a while ago, saw cognitive effects at doses of 10 to 20 grams.
@@randyhollier Hey. My son is on the spectrum, albeit high functioning. Did taking the creatine have a profound impact for you personally? In what way did it help you the most, as it relates to your Autism? I'm really looking into anything and everything I can, that's science based, that can help him.
Great topic! I'm not really willing to spend the time to get "fat adjusted" to keto, but I have considerd taking a supplement to see if it has any mental effects.

I'm afraid I know the answer
@@GuidoDePalma me too
This whole channel is so awesome. I love that this is all research-based and not some guru opinion!!!!
Thank you

Did it for you, LV!
@@Physionic wow really!? For me?
Thank you so much. 😇
I have been wondering if they have any value at all in the absence of a ketogenic diet. Good to find out.
can you define "long-term" as it relates to blood sugar?
Do they lower A1C? Seems like that would tell you if long term net effect on blood sugar. And a super easy and cheap thing to test.
Thank you very much great Information
You are very welcome, Justin.

Did you get that from my book, Mokaiesh?
For brain benefit, you would need to consume 20g continuously.

I'd need to look at the mental effects, but this is one step toward that reality, David.
