hey guys I wanted to create a short

video from this woman who wanted to know

how to handle the situation because she

went to a doctor and told the doctor

that she was in ketosis and the doctor

says oh my gosh don’t do that it’s

life-threatening ketones are poisons

okay so she wanted to know how to

respond to that so I want to talk about

that yeah so I’ve done a lot of videos

on this but I’m going to do one more and

it has to do with this one confusion of

thinking diabetic ketoacidosis is the

same thing as nutritional ketosis

they’re not the same there is a

condition when you’re a type 1 diabetic

when you don’t you run out of insulin

you don’t have any more insulin so

therefore your ketones go up and up and

up and up and you you become very acidic

and that’s dangerous okay so that’s one

thing if you’re not a type 1 diabetic

you’re going to produce insulin so there

is no risk of getting ketoacidosis if

your pancreas makes insulin because what

you’re going to do is go into ketosis by

just dropping your carbohydrates so your

body can then turn your own fat and the

dietary fat and Nick ketones so the

truth is that ketones can be very

therapeutic to your body they are not

poisons okay and there’s a lot of

research being done right now on using

ketones on brain injury ok because

here’s the truth ketones are more

efficient fuel they need less oxygen

they produce less waste than glucose

they’re neuroprotective they protect and

help recovery nerve damage from glucose

so when you switch from glucose to

ketones by going on a ketogenic diet

it’s called keto adaptation you can

actually recover damaged brain cells and

nerve tissue ketones give you more ATP

that’s the energy currency of the body

so your energy will go up your need for

sleep does go down it can actually

increase your blood flow by 39% and

that’s why there’s actually research

being done right now on all sorts of

conditions involving low oxygen like

using ketosis after a stroke

after brain injury after damage to the

lung for example so running the body and

ketone can actually just increase oxygen

in general and also can prevent protein

from accumulating in the brain and the

tissues because when you run your bite

in glucose you can start developing

amyloid plaquing which is a little piece

of protein in the brain and that can

actually lead to Alzheimer’s dementia

and a lot of other problems

so the real poison is excess glucose

high blood sugar because that can

actually shrink the brain cause you to

retain fluid decrease your memory and

cause dementia bring you down

emotionally cause oxidative stress which

then your body has to come in there and

patch it with cholesterol cause

glycation which is the binding of

protein and sugar or fat and sugar

together and that clogs everything up

and creates damage and create fatigue

decrease oxygen so as you can see anyone

actually telling you that ketones are

dangerous just doesn’t understand what a

ketone is thanks for watching
