so today I’m going to talk about what’s

different between the ketogenic diet and

intermittent fasting as far as their

benefits okay

they’re not actually the same let’s

start with keto so when you drop your

carbs you produce ketones from fat when

you’re do in a minute fasting well guess

what you’re dropping your carbs so

you’re also going to produce ketones but

you’re also doing something else you’re

not stimulating a hormone in your small

intestine called the GIP hormone which

will increase ketones even more because

when you eat you do trigger this GIP

hormone and that increases insulin so

when you do intermittent fasting you’re

going to produce more ketones than you

would if you’re just doing the ketogenic

diet and this is because the combination

of not doing carbs and not stimulating

that extra insulin alright let’s talk

about cancer cancer lives on glucose and

glutamine that’s an amino acid so when

you do keto you actually starve the

cancer cell of glucose and the tumor

cells cannot live on ketones

so that’s good right but here’s the

problem cancer can also live on

glutamine but doing in a minute fasting

or periodic prolonged fasting can less

than the amount of glutamine that that

cancer can live on so you basically

starving the cancer cell alright next

difference is when you keto hopefully

you’re doing the healthy version of keto

you’re not doing the dirty keto okay

you’re providing nutrients essential

trace minerals vitamins minerals

building blocks like amino acids

essential fatty acids to build the body

within a minute fasting you’re not

eating

so basically you’re not providing

nutrients now it is true when you do

them in fasting you’re recycling these

nutrients more in the need for them goes

way down but in a minute fasting itself

does not provide any nutrients it does

by the way increase more antioxidants

which is another benefit alright next

one is something called the tofu Jie a

toughie Jie is a condition where your

body is recycling old damaged

proteins okay it’s cleaning up all this

old stuff and it’s bringing into a new

state so it’s really important in repair

you’re getting way more tough OG when

you do in a minute fasting then when

you’re eating okay so for all practical

purposes you’re really not getting any

major etapa G winger even when you’re

doing low carbs okay but when you’re

doing it a bit fasting you are so that’s

one huge benefit especially when you get

into anti-aging now in addition to that

you have something really cool that

happens there’s actually longevity genes

that get expressed or activated when you

do fasting so actually you live longer

when you do in a minute fasting all

right the next one is you drop

inflammation significantly now with

lowering your carb you’re also going to

drop inflammation but imminent fasting

you’re going to drop inflammation even

more and inflammation in general is

really a key thing in so many chronic

illnesses autoimmune diseases all the

arthritis diabetes neurodegenerative

diseases like Alzheimer’s and

Parkinson’s and even in atherosclerosis

which is people think about the heart

disease is just plaquing but that

plaquing starts after you get

inflammation and you get a lot of extra

damage when there’s inflammation in the

body and there’s also a lot of

inflammation in cancer as well so

dropping this inflammation is really a

key factor next benefit with

intermittent fasting is you get a

massive spike in growth hormone

now you also get a spike of growth

hormone when you do a little carb but

not near as much as when you do in a

minute fasting it could be between 1300

up to 2,000 percent more and the last

point which I already mentioned your

body actually starts building up more of

your antioxidant reserve the

antioxidants can come from your diet but

your body can also make them so when you

do in a minute fasting you actually are

strengthening that system which is

really important in preventing damage to

your genes to the DNA to the

mitochondria

okay I’ll show you one more thing okay

let’s talk about the brain for a second

your brain prefers ketones if you have a

damaged brain let’s say you have

dementia Parkinson’s Alzheimer’s are you

starting to forget things and by the way

Alzheimer’s takes like 15 to 20 years to

develop so it starts off small and then

they gradually gets worse if you have

any type of damage in your brain you

need to be aware of this fuel source key

chance because your your brain loves

ketones and ketones can bypass the

damaged nerve cells which by the way the

damaged nerves are not getting the

glucose and that’s what’s starving them

so you can bypass that whole thing and

feed the neurons ketones and they can be

very very happy so there’s two things

you need to know about this number one

it’s the level of ketones in the blood

that determine if the what the brain is

going to use is fuel if you have a lot

of ketones in the blood despite having

even a lot of glucose in the blood the

brain will eat up these ketones in

preference to the glucose so that’s good

news right and then we also have the

level of glucose in the blood so let’s

say for example you go on the ketogenic

diet and you cut down the glucose then

your body will start making ketones

raise ketones then your brain will be

happy but what happens when you consume

too much glucose because you’re in a

high carb diet well you’re gonna run

your brain on glucose the problem is

you’re gonna have insulin resistance

eventually and the cells are not going

to get the fuel and then they’re going

to die so you’re gonna starve off the

brain cells when you do a high carb diet

and there’s one last really important

thing I want to tell you if you have

brain damage okay and you start keto an

intermittent fasting and it’s taking a

while to adapt to ketosis and you may

not have the level of ketones that you

really want in this situation I would

highly recommend taking MCT oil okay

that will provide a lot

more ketones to jumpstart the engine

I would also recommend you take

exogenous ketones now I normally don’t

recommend those but if you have

Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s I would

definitely recommend that because that

would give you just more ketones to work

with and satisfy the fuel part of the

brain anyway thanks for watching I will
