Show Topic: Ketogenic Diet- Understanding it with Thom King  

Co-Hosts:  Judy Gaman, Mark Anderson, Walter Gaman

Guest: Thom King 

Segment 1:

There are so many diets out there and the New Year is often the time when people decide to make changes to their diet. We decided to do a show today on the Ketogenic Diet and here in a bit, we’re bringing on Thom King author of the book Man Gone Keto

• Funny discussion about holidays in a home of mixed dietary restrictions
• Hosts discuss different diets they’ve tried over the course of their lives (best and worst so far)
• We chose the Keto diet because it is actually published in the medical literature and sometimes used as part of the treatment plan for neurological disorders, epilepsy and some cancers
• Ketogenic diet dates back to 1923 with Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic using it for the treatment of epilepsy
• Keto diets can vary, but they mostly stem from the classic Keto diet which rearranges the macronutrients: the fat, protein, carb ratio. In the Classic Keto diet 90% of calories come from fat in a classic Ketogenic Diet, while 6% come from protein, and 4% come from carb
• The purpose of KETO is to keep the body in a state of Ketosis, which in turn, enhances the ability of mitochondria, the power plants of our cells. This increases our energy and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.
• Types of Keto diets include: Classic, Modified Ketogenic, MCT oil Diet, Low Gylcemic Index treatment, and Modified Adkins

They have discovered a closed-loop system that can listen to and correct brain waves at the same time and in the same region. It’s like a pacemaker for the brain. Unlike some of the other brain stimulators, this is a smart system that learns the patient’s waves and responds appropriately and it’s also external.
