if you have a brain you definitely need  to fast let’s talk about why your brain  

loves ketones and when you don’t eat your body is  actually eating your own fat and it’s converting  

into ketones and it’s feeding your brain if your  brain has a choice between glucose in the blood  

or ketones in the blood which is a byproduct  of fat it will always go after the ketones over  

glucose there’s a there’s a lot of magical things  that happen to your brain when you start fasting  

especially when you do periodic for long  fasting you get neurogenesis now what is  

that that is the regrowing of neurons and that’s  wild you also get a spike in this protein bdnf  

brain derived neurotrophic factor and that  protein stimulates the regeneration of cells  

in your hippocampus that’s the area where you have  like a relay between your your database like your  

memory database and also it’s involved in learning  and many other things also the regeneration of the  

cortex of the brain and the forebrain i mean only  certain parts of your brain can be regenerated and  

thank goodness we can regenerate these parts right  here so you have improved learning improved memory  

and alertness you also have another interesting  thing you get a spike in plasticity what the heck  

is plasticity that has to do with your neurons  connecting adapting and being more flexible and  

less rigid which is actually a good thing the  other thing that happens is that your brain  

cells start resisting stress it’s called neural  protection so if there’s some type of insult  

whether it’s a chemical like chemotherapy or  whatever your cells just start surviving better  

you also get something called neuronal  autophagy autophagy is the recycling of  

damaged proteins but when you’re fasting the  body is clearing out these damaged proteins  

out of the neurons in the brains it gets rid of  damaged mitochondria in the brain so it actually  

makes your brain younger which is very very  cool and it helps your existing neurons survive  

better now in our bodies we have friendly bacteria  we have unfriendly bacteria there’s a friendly  

e coli that we have that does not create  any problem for us and that e coli helps to  

combat the unfriendly uh strain and what’s  interesting is when you stop feeding these  

microbes they actually can live four times longer  than if you feed them go figure also yeast survive  

twice as long when you put them on a fast and  so fasting is very beneficial for your brain  

before you go if you have a question about a  product or you’re new to keto and you want to  

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you  need to debug because it’s not going as smooth  

i have a keto consultant standing  by to help you this is just for the  

people in the u.s hopefully in the future  we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
