hi guys in this video I want to talk

about the relationship between low blood

sugars and your brain it’s very

interesting that normally your brain

will run on either glucose or sugar or

ketones which are the byproduct of fat

burning but not amino acids or fatty

acids okay now when you induce low blood

sugar healthily naturally using

ketogenic diet or in a minute fasting

you’re not going to have the problems

I’m going to talk about okay you’re not

gonna have these symptoms it’s actually

that’s a you want your blood Sugar’s a

little on the low side but to do it

naturally and gradually over a period of

time okay what I’m going to be talking

about in this little section is actual

hypoglycemia low blood sugar while

you’re still eating carbs and you’re not

fully adapted to the ketones okay so

you’re still running on sugar but you

have low blood sugars so so here’s what

happens well there’s a couple things you

need to know the brain does not store

sugar as glycogen that means it doesn’t

have a storage like the muscle or the

liver so it’s dependent on the sugar in

your blood so if there’s low blood sugar

this thing starves okay now when you

starve the brain of glucose you shut

down the oxygen to the brain so you

starve it a fuel and oxygen well guess

what’s gonna happen you’re going to get

a condition called anoxic irritability

which is basically starving the neurons

with oxygen which is very toxic and

irritating to the nerves so you actually

can kill the nerves you kill the brain

now if you have a chronic hypoglycemic

situation low blood sugars over a long

period of time you actually create

degeneration in the brain and all sorts

of neurological issues tremors and a

whole bunch of other issues okay so

again that’s if you’re doing it

unhealthily you do it naturally you’re

not going to have those effects now

there is a protective mechanism that

happens when your blood sugars go low

and that’s by the adrenal gland and some

other organs as well so you get this

kick in of the spike of adrenaline

when the blood Sugar’s go to a low and

there’s a whole bunch of symptoms that

can occur if that happens too quickly

but your adrenaline and cortisol are

trying to raise the sugar up there’s

other hormones too but I’m not going to

get into it at this point so here if

your adrenals are stressed and you have

hypoglycemia and you’re not changing

your diet you’re gonna have all sorts of

issues because the adrenals will not be

able to counter this efficiently so you

end up have with low blood sugars that

don’t seem to rebound at a nice

comfortable healthy level so it creates

a lot of strain on the nervous system

okay so the whole goal with this is to

correct the low blood sugar not by

adding more sugar into the diet that’s

never going to work it’s gonna always

make things worse and there’s so many

people that are recommending this six

meals a day and eat candy and it’s

that’s the worst advice what you need to

do is what’s behind the low blood sugar

or something called insulin resistance

there’s a whole bunch of things you can

do to correct that so it doesn’t become

a problem so eventually you can

normalize the resistance normalize the

blood sugar because insulin is now

healed and then the brain will do a lot

better cognitive functions mood issues

won’t clear up so I’m gonna put a link

down below exactly how to do that it’s

called the keto and intermittent fasting

eating plan alright thanks for watching

hey before you go definitely sign up for

my free keto course I put a link down

below it’s on messenger in Facebook but

it will give you all the basics it’s

very quick it’s like three or four

videos and it’s free check it out
