let’s talk about why babies thrive on

Kido now when a woman is pregnant

especially during the last trimester 30%

of all the energy fed to that baby is

from ketones and then once they’re born

the first two hours they’re going to be

running off of lactate that’s milk sugar

but then they’re gonna convert it right

to ketones so ketones are very normal

for a newborn ketones are not supposed

to be an alternative fuel in fact breast

milk is loaded with MCT fats medium

chain triglycerides which are then

turned into ketones a baby’s brain makes

up between eleven and twelve percent of

their entire body weight as compared to

an adult brain which only makes up two

percent of the weight yet in a newborn

75 percent of all the energy that they

use is for the brain if we compare this

to an adult we use 20 to 25% of our

energy for our brain so as you can see

this brain is very very important for

survival it’s very important to allocate

the majority of fuel because it is going

to be the organ that runs the entire

body but here’s the fascinating thing

ketones not only provide a good amount

of fuel for the infant’s brain they also

provide the building blocks for lipids

of an infant’s brain I’m talking about

the cholesterol and the myelin sheath

that surround the nerves in the brain

ketones supply the brain with 90% of the

carbon to make the white matter so it’s

not just about the fuel it’s about the

building blocks as well and this is also

another reason why babies are born with

extra fat because that fat actually can

help supply more ketones unless someone

screws it up by feeding them the

formulas which is basically the high

carb diet because all that sugar and

glucose and carbohydrate will completely

prevent the ketones

from being used as fuel so if you’re

going to get pregnant or you are

pregnant try to breastfeed as long as

possible and in the process make sure

you’re eating foods with all the key

neutral

I’m talking about the trace minerals I’m

talking about the B vitamins and vitamin

C from actual nutrient-dense foods that

way that child has the best chance of

optimizing their IQ their bone formation

their reduction of risk for certain

diseases and overall longevity my last

point is this if we started out on

ketones why would we want to go to a

high carb diet and why would someone be

hesitant of going on a ketogenic diet

after being on high carb diets for many

years it doesn’t make sense to me other

than the fact that they just might not

understand this basic data right here

but for more information on how to grow

a very healthy baby check out this video
