JIMMY AND DR. ADAM NALLY’S KETO LIVING SUPPLEMENTSIn Episode 1238 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we bring you an interview with Psychiatrist Dr. Georgia Ede as our interview guest featured today. Dr. Georgia Ede is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist whose areas of expertise include low-carbohydrate and pre-agricultural diets, food sensitivity syndromes, and college mental health. Dr. Ede was the first psychiatrist at Harvard University Health Services to offer nutrition consultation as an alternative to medication management, and is now at Smith College in western Massachusetts. She writes about nutrition and the brain for Psychology Today and explores how food affects the human body on her website DiagnosisDiet.com.Dr. Ede first became interested in nutrition after discovering a new way of eating that completely reversed a number of perplexing health problems she had developed in her early 40’s, including Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, and IBS. This experience led her on a quest to understand why the unorthodox diet that restored her own health is so different from the diet we are taught is healthy. Listen in today as Jimmy and Dr. Ede talk about the connection between brain chemistry and diet, changing the the way we treat mental illness, and alternatives for disease management.YOUR GO-TO PLACE FOR KETO FOODSUse coupon code KETOTALK for special discount NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship“The most powerful way to change brain chemistry is through food because that’s where the brain chemicals come from in the first place.” – Dr. Georgia EdeWORLD’S 1ST READY TO ENJOY KETO KOOKIEUSE PROMO CODE LLVLC FOR 15% OFF NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorshipThere are three ways you can listen to Episode 1238:1.

Click here to download PDF of this transcript Dave:             Today’s cool fact of the day is: your brain has a hard time distinguishing between metaphors and reality. That’s why if you do something as simple as clipping your resume to a heavier clipboard, when someone looks at your resume they’ll actually assume that its’ more serious because, subconsciously, we think of serious situations with gravity, or as weighty issues. They’ve actually done studies with identical resumes on different weighted clipboards and found out that it’s a meaningful, impactful variable on how people read the resume itself. Hey, everyone. Dave Asprey, Bulletproof Executive, here with Bulletproof Radio. Today’s guest is Dominic D’Agostino. He’s an assistant professor of molecular pharmacology and physiology at USF Health Morsani College of Medicine and one of the guys I really look to for knowledge about ketosis: that fat burning stage that we try to be in the Bulletproof Diet most of the time, but not all of the time. We’re going to pick his brain today about how it actually works, the benefits of ketosis, the risks of ketosis, etc. He’s presented at TEDx and done a ton of different studies looking at metabolic disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, muscle wasting, cancer, oxygen toxicity, all kinds of cool stuff that you might not think applies to you if you just want to feel good all the time, but it turns out the things we’ve learned by looking at the corner cases really help us know more about what’s going on on our end. It looks like you work out a bit. I’ve seen some pictures of you; I’d say you’re a little more muscular than the average guy. Would you say that’s true? Dominic:      Maybe, yeah, I guess so. I work out; it’s part of what I do, although I don’t have a whole lot of time nowadays. Powerlifting was a big part of my college days and I do network pretty closely with the natural body building world and have a few close friends that are tied to that community – so definitely an interest there. Dave:             At the same time, you’re into the keto diet, or different ways of going into ketosis. Are you in ketosis all the time? Dominic:      I think so. Pretty much, unless I sleep on my diet, unless I eat something out of the ordinary, but generally, yeah. If you measure my blood ketones it would show that I am in ketosis 95% of the time or more. Sometimes I overeat on protein or occasionally I’ll go out to the movies and have popcorn, but that’s pretty rare. Special events. Dave:             GMO popcorn, nooo! 95% of the time. Dominic:      Yeah, pretty much. Obviously it’s my research field. I do it for practical reasons too because staying in ketosis keeps me from getting hungry. I eat two meals a day spaced roughly about 12 hours apart. I come from a background of eating like six meals a day and I can’t imagine going back to that pattern of eating or having the time or patience to do all the food preparation and the shopping and everything involved in eating multiple times a day, which a lot of people feel that they need to for performance – but I know that’s not the case. Dave:             You and me both. The idea of many meals a day is exhausting and just why would you? Can you summarize your research? I did my best; I mentioned some of the fields. Dominic:      You did good. Dave:             But for people listening, imagine they’re driving; imagine that half of them have heard of ketosis. The other half may be interested in just how do they perform better or how do they lose weight. Little bit of an explanation of ketosis, how you enter it, and also why you care about it at the levels where you’re doing research. Dominic:      I got into this research because I was intensely looking into an anti-seizure strategy. I kind of exhausted all options and then I discovered that the ketogenic diet – I thought it was used primarily for weight loss – but I discovered the real function of the diet, how it came about, was for controlling drug resistant seizures, and it has roots back in the 1920s and earlier. That was essentially what I was being paid to do, to develop an anti-seizure strategy for oxygen toxicity which can happen while breathing a high oxygen with a special unit … Special ops guys use a closed-circuit rebreather and it can create seizures if they dive too deep. The diet interested me; the evidence showed that it was probably better than most drugs out there, and obviously it didn’t have side effects associated with anti-seizure medication. I became interested in that but more importantly interested in how to mimic this with a ketogenic agent. The ones that were out there are like MCT oil, but I wanted to develop a ketone ester, which if taken orally can put you into starvation level ketosis in 15 minutes to a half hour and sustain it for hours. In the process of developing that and testing that, we demonstrated that it has very strong anti-seizure effects and that ketosis has the broad range applications for neurological diseases and even cancer, we’re studying now. From a performance enhancement point of view, ketones function as an alternative fuel for your brain and for your muscles, too, so we are looking at the application of a ketogenic diet and also supplemental ketones to enhance cognitive performance and also physical performance. Dave:             I’m working on some studies of my own given that I make MCT oil and some of the even more filtered versions like my Brain Octane stuff. I’m interested in the cognitive performance aspects of it so I’ve done some limited experiments with EEGs and it’s kind of amazing what mental endurance does when you have ketones in the body. Where can I get some of these ketones esters that you’re talking about? Sign me up. Dominic:      They’re pretty new, actually – at least in our lab. The military has been working on these things for a while. Maybe the last ten years, but probably only in the last few years have they been able to be produced in a way that’s safe and that can be applied to humans. Ketone esters probably won’t be available for a while as a nutritional supplement. Maybe it’s a medical application. They taste horrible; stomaching them is really a hard thing. There is a product- Dave:             The quote I’ve heard is that they take like ass, like worse than glutathione so far. Is that true? Dominic:      Yeah, they do. There’s not a whole lot of people who have consumed them so I probably know the person you’re talking about, because there’s a very limited amount of people who have used these – maybe some advanced athletes and military guys. Dave:             This [crosstalk 07:56] a connection. Dominic:      Okay. Patrick Arnold, he’s a chemist, he has a company called Prototype Nutrition and he sells a product called KetoForce and that is kind of like a poor man’s version of a ketone ester I think and it’s essentially ketones that can be absorbed and rapidly assimilated and used for fuel. Our lab has found that that’s a very effective way to elevate ketones but it’s even more effective when it’s combined with MCT oil. We’re testing this right now and the application for this for cognitive function and performance is very real. I think it would be best used in athletes that are already keto-adapted, meaning that their systems are already used to utilizing ketone bodies as an energy substrate. When we’re in a keto-adapted state the mechanisms for utilizing and transporting ketone bodies to muscles in the brain are up-regulated. I have a hunch just based on our research that a person wanting to enhance performance would be best suited to use this in combination with a low-carbohydrate diet. Dave:             This has been an ongoing question. Dominic:      I think I know- Dave:             I use a lot of Brain Octane, which is the shorter chain MCT is extracted from plain MCT oil. I use both of them but I get a lot less of the GI problems when I use that, and I use it primarily for cognitive enhancement. I’m doing probably four tablespoons of that stuff a day, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. I can use ketones for energy all day long, I feel great, but I do eat carbs, probably 50 grams, sometimes 100 grams, and sometimes I go deep into ketosis. Am I going to be able to burn ketones and use those at the same time there’s some glucose in my body if I have an extra-normal amount of ketones because I’m taking all that oil? Dominic:      Yes. Recently Joe LaManna, who’s a top ketogenic diet researcher, gave a talk here at the University of South Florida and his research has shown that ketones spare glucose in the brain. The brain will preferably use ketone bodies over glucose. I get this question a lot: are ketones the preferred source of energy for the brain? I get this question no less than 50 times, I think. I always said “Well, we don’t know that.” The emerging research that’s just starting to come out and will come out in the next year will demonstrate that ketone bodies are in essence a preferred fuel that the brain will use them in place of glucose and spare glucose. We know from the work of Richard Veech and several others that ketones are very efficient metabolic fuel, probably more so than glucose. You have an alternative fuel that can potentially enhance metabolic efficiency and ATP production, and that can spare glucose. In part, the big advantage of the ketogenic diet is that when you’re following a ketogenic diet and you’re exercising, you can tap into your fat reserves and mobilize fat as a fuel source more efficiently and thereby preserving glycogen stores. The ultimate determining factor in how long you can go is the preservation of glycogen stores. Once they’re depleted you basically bonk. If you’re on a carbohydrate-restricted diet … Your diet sounds like it’s carbohydrate-restricted- Dave:             It is. Dominic:      50 to 100 grams is, yeah. You’re essentially in ketosis. You’re bounc

ATTEND THE FIRST KETOGENIC CONFERENCE OF 2017 In Episode 1176 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore,” we present to you a lecture from Assistant Professor in the Department of Health Sciences and Human Performance the University of Tampa Dr. Jacob Wilson as our special 2016 Metabolic Therapeutics Conference guest speaker. The research looking into the various health and metabolic effects of the low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat, ketogenic diet is gaining in momentum as the evidence continues to pile up in favor of this way of eating for a variety of reasons that go well beyond weight loss. The very pathophysiology of virtually every chronic disease is now forcing researchers to take a closer look at therapies such as nutritional ketosis as a viable option for healthcare providers to get their patients healthy again. The 1st Annual Conference on Nutritional Ketosis and Metabolic Therapeutics took place earlier this year in Tampa, Florida featuring the best of the best cutting-edge researchers and practitioners from around the world engaging in the science and application of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets for use in optimizing wellness, exercise performance, resilience, and more. These are exciting times and we are on the cusp of seeing some phenomenal breakthroughs coming in the next few years.“People ask us if when they start on a ketogenic diet whether they should back off on their training. But we say if you deplete (glycogen stores) faster, it’ll cause you to (keto) adapt faster. It’s a great way to get it over with…drive yourself into keto-adaptation.” — Dr. Jacob WilsonCOME TO TAMPA, FL FOR THE FEBRUARY 1-4, 2017 EVENT Get FULL DETAILS at MetabolicTherapeuticsConference.comListen in as you will hear various lectures from that conference on “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show” podcast through early December to give you a taste of what is happening and what’s to come.

Listen (60 minutes) Dr. Steve Phinney — I can ride continuously for three hours and go 60 miles without any hunger or food cravings or drop off in performance.  And I ride as well in the last 20 miles coming home as I do going out. Steve Phinney, can you tell us who you are? I’m a medical doctor and have my training in internal medicine.  Early in my career developed an interest in nutrition and got a PhD in nutritional biochemistry.  That was 30 odd years ago, and since then my primary interests have been in weight management, ie, obesity, exercise and the human economy of the various fats we either put in our mouths or make in our bodies. You’re a star in a Canadian documentary called My Big Fat Diet, because you helped a whole group change their eating habits to reduce insulin resistance and lose a lot of weight. you’re the co-author of a book about the Atkins Diet that’s been updated by you and two other clinician scientists. Partially correct.  I had a bit part in My Big Fat Diet.  The star is Dr. James Wortman, a Canadian physician.  And yes, I’m a coauthor of the updated, new Atkins book which came out last March. You’re also in the process of creating a new book that’s more technical about high fat diets. That’s correct.  Dr. Volek, who’s one of the coauthors on the Atkins book felt, like me, that we needed to offer more information for people who are interested in the medical side of low-carb diets, with a more detailed explanation of the workings of the human body when carbohydrates are restricted.  It’s readable by both a health care professional and an interested, educated lay person. Are you an athlete? I’m physically active.  Though after high school, I’ve not been involved in competition athletics. Do you eat a low-carb, high fat diet? Yes, guilty as charged. How low carb and how high fat? I stay between 25 and 50 grams of carbohydrate a day.  I eat a moderate amount of protein.  It’s not a high-protein diet. I eat 2800 calories a day, and so if moderate protein is 500 to 600 calories a day and carbohydrate is around 100 calories a day, I’m eating over 2,000 calories of fat to maintain my body weight.  I run in the 70 – 80% of energy intake as fat. From what most experts say about physical exercise, your muscles must be in shreds.  You’re not eating food that puts big stores of glycogen in your muscles.  Are you constantly sore and fatigued. No, and one of the most fascinating things about switching from a high carbohydrate diet, which I used to follow, to a low carb diet, which I did six years ago . . . My primary form of purposeful exercise is bicycling, and my distances range from 20 to 60 miles, and I”ll do two or three rides a week. I used to classify my rides as one banana rides, or two banana rides or three.  If I rode 60 miles, I had to take three bananas with me and had to eat one every hour.  Otherwise, I would be running out of power and dragging my tail home, or ordering a taxi. That’s because my body would run out of carbohydrate fuel, and even though I had tens of thousands of calories of body fat, I couldn’t use it efficiently for exercise.  That’s where the concept of needing carbohydrates for exercise came from. If a person goes through a few weeks of giving the body time to adapt to carbohydrate restriction–you do have to go through this gauntlet of forcing the body to adapt to a low carbohydrate diet, meaning let the cells alter their enzyme levels to efficiently burn fat for fuel, then, when I set out for a ride, I have 40,000 calories of body fat, and that’s accessible to me. I carry no food now on my bicycle rides.  I carry water, but nothing that can raise my insulin levels, and now, I can ride continuously for three hours and go 60 miles without any hunger or food cravings or drop off in performance.  And I ride as well in the last 20 miles coming home as I do going out. Maybe you’re riding more slowly than when you were doing the three banana rides. No.  I ride as fast now, and I’m six years older now than I was when eating carbs.  And I’m at that point in life where my performance theoretically should be dropping off because of age, and I can ride 18 to 20 miles an hour still, and if some young person tries to speed up and go by me on a ride I can jump on their wheel and stay with them, just as well as I did ten years ago. So you don’t need to have carbs to keep you going?  You don’t hit a wall the way you did when you were eating carbs? That’s correct.  My gas tank got a lot bigger when I gave up carbs.  Because we can only store maybe 1500 calories as carbs.  If I burn 600 – 700 calories per hour, and I depend only on glycogen, that’s about two hours of fuel.  But if I have 30,000 to 40,000 calories of fuel in my fat, I can ride for days. If you have that much fat on your body, does that mean you’re fat? Body fat is in cells and there are cell membranes and cell nucleus and so on, and if you take that into account, then one kilogram, which is 2.2 pounds, contains about 7,000 calories of fat.  So if I have 40,000 calories of fat on my body, then I have about 6 kilograms of fat, meaning 12 to 14 pounds of fat on a body that weighs about 165 pounds.  I probably have more than that.  But my percentage of body fat . . . So around 15%.  Pretty lean for a guy my age.  A highly trained male marathon runner might be 8% fat, and if he weighs about 150 pounds, that’s about 12 pounds body fat, or about 40,000 calories of fat. Are you the only person who uses a low carb diet and succeeds as an athlete? Many people do, and they anecdotally note that their performance is as good or better than it was on high carbs.  Dr. James Wortman, for instance, the star of My Big Fat Diet, discovered in his 50s that he was a Type II diabetic, a disease that runs in his family.  He switched to low carb eating and his diabetes is completely controlled. He’s an avid skier, and I have personally seen him do a non-stop in a 5,000 foot descentof Whistler Mountain in British Columbia.  Obviously he’s not impaired by the way he eats. But many sports physiologists warn that it’s not possible to be an athlete on a low carb diet.  They say that glycogen gets impaired on a low carb diet.  Glycogen is a starchy substance that’s made from sugar and stored in our cells. Glycogen does go into the muscle and liver.  The muscle glycogen gets burned only in  that muscle.  The liver glycogen can be released into the bloodstream which is necessary to keep the brain happy.  The body’s energy economy includes not only fueling the muscle but fueling the brain.  If the brain fuel supply drops, you don’t feel well.  That’s called hitting the wall by runners and among bicyclers, it’s called bonking. But the studies looking at carb dependency were all done for less than two weeks.  No study that went longer than two weeks has demonstrated the benefits of a high carb diet.  I personally put highly trained bicyclists on an Inuit diet for four weeks.  That’s the people who lived in the Arctic who ate a very low carb, very high fat diet.  For the first two weeks, the bicycle racers reported that their training was impaired and they didn’t feel well.  They were struggling with keeping up their training schedule.  But after two weeks, they reported feeling well and their performance, on tests, came back. and I knew this was true because I had to ride with them to keep them from stopping and eating something they shouldn’t.  We measured their peak aerobic power and their endurance time to exhaustion.  We did before and after performance, Same power curves on the indoor stationary bicycle at a set wattage over a period of time.  There was no reduction in performance after they had adapted for more than two weeks to a ketogenic diet. As I did that project I became curious about people who had lived on that kind of Inuit Diet.  I read the journals of Arctic explorers.  One of them was a US army surgeon named Frederick Schwatka.  In 1881, he set out from the west coast of Hudson’s Bay.  He traveled the Arctic, overland with Inuit families, in search of a lost Royal Navy expedition that meant he traveled 15 months, over 3,000 miles on foot, in excellent health. In his journal, he wrote, When first thrown wholly upon the diet of the native, one is ill-disposed to travel.  There is a weakness of the legs.  But this passes away after a few weeks and then long sledge travel are possible. So it’s not just me.  It wasn’t just my bike racers.  It’s many people who find that when the body is given time to adapt, it’s remarkable in its ability to switch from dependency on carbohydrate, which is a very small fuel tank to the ability to access fat reserves without impairment of aerobic power and performance. Steve Phinney, when you say adaptation takes two to three weeks, could someone be adapting by eating a low fat diet one day and a high fat diet another and gradually ease into this? We have not studied that.  But informally, when people try that, they just feel lousy.  It’s a roller coaster ride, where you have a huge surge of insulin.  Then you deprive your body of the carbohydrate fuel.  The process of adaptation requires a consistent period of time for the body to make its peace with not having carbohydrates.  Most of the adaptation occurs in the first two weeks, but some of the fine tuning is going on four to six weeks after that. What if someone’s afraid of fat, but they understand they need to cut back on carbs.  So they eat a 14 ounce steak at night to get energy from the protein in the steak.  Are they doing what you recommend. The Inuit were not a literate culture, meaning they didn’t write down what they ate.  But people who lived among the Inuit and, I think, accurately recorded it, pointed out that the Inuit avoided actually eating lots of lean meat.  They had a name for an illness that happened if they ate too much protein and not enough fat.  The English translated the name of that s
