When you take your cat or dog into the vet, the first thing they ask is "What are you feeding him/her?" When you see your doctor, this is not even discussed (unless you tell your doctor you're doing Keto)

[@brianmoran8998]

Trouble is, the Vet will suggest you feed your pet kibble & processed pet food. Not Raw Meat

[@jeanniedreemer1944]

Your right but when you do tell them as I did,they weren’t happy and wouldn’t agree to take me off the meds because “big Pharma owns the medical field!

[@TheRealDoctorNelson]

Ain’t that the truth! The wolves and the lions eat meat…what do the dogs and cats eat? It’s a mystery! If you let the cat out, do they ever bring home broccoli or kale? Or birds and mice?

Georgia was one of the early influencers in my journey to the Ketogenic diet. After two years on Keto I transitioned to carnivore right after Ken Berry went carnivore. Keto resolved many issues but a lifetime of various levels of depression remained until I went carnivore. I am 78 and will never eat any other way! I am on no meds, and at my age that is crazy😂❤🙏

did u used to take meds ? do u eat two meals a day, still strict carnivore ??

[@TomBrown-ij3jk]

@@Amanda_downunder I used to take meds for depression 35 years ago but soon realized that I was one of the 20 percent that did not respond to antidepressants. So, for the last 25 or so years I’ve just dealt with it until I discovered the ketogenic diet and ultimately the carnivore way of life.❤️ PS. I eat one or two meals daily. It depends on changes in routine and interactions with friends 🙏🏽

I started keto in 2018 after watching 'The Magic Pill'. I had no idea who much it would impact my ability to make connections, concentrate and problem solve. I just felt giddy, like this was something I'd been looking for my entire life. Had I been able to do this way of eating in college, my life would have turned out much richer, still grateful.

[@chrisavetrano]

Dear Abby printed a letter today from a neurologist who was asking for volunteers to take a drug they were testing to prevent Alsheimers. The plan was to give medication to people and have them take it for twenty years PRIOR to the usual age when the disease appeared. Maybe we can send him a copy of this book instead?

[@therealstuweinstock]

Beautiful video Eric! There is hope for folks that have mental health disorders and they need to seek assistance navigating the medications as they thrive on Keto and Carnivore. Can't wait to obtain Dr. Ede's book. We need to assist folks that have mental health disorders and just being prescribed medications by the psychiatric community in most cases don't work as intended with related side effects that side tract weight loss. There needs to be grass-roots involvement to overturn the trends of over-medicating patients. Change your food, change your life .......😀

It’s refreshing that you both collaborate on research that helps to alleviate or eradicate medical issues instead of just pumping more money mindlessly into the prescription machine. We need more preventative medicine. I can’t wait to read this book!❤

Thank you, Doctors. This was so good to hear. Mental health medication is a hit-and-miss process, and causation is rarely the goal of treatment. We can only hope that those who write the protocols and fund the research, will listen.

How do you put a schizophrenic on a diet when they don't want to be on that diet? My nephew developed schizophrenia in college. His parents say he won't go on a ketogenic diet.

[@kata6966]

I am dealing with the same issue with my son. He is doing low carb and low sugar but doesn’t believe in the concept of constant ketosis for healing. He needs a doctor to tell him, face to face, rather than me or KZbin videos. I worry for him. He has a chance at recovery but his stubbornness may land him in a worse place. He is also experiencing physical pain. We think it’s from the medication and we’re struggling to find someone who can help us with the taper.

[@fredsmit3481]

Dr. Ede, talks a lot about a “ketogenic diet” but she never defines it. I would be interested in how she defines the diet. At 15:00 in the video, Westman talks about the medical community labels, but he is imprecise (and wrong) in his labeling of a keto diet. A keto diet is not the same as a very low carb diet. A keto diet is a diet that induces ketosis in a particular person. It is very stupid to assume ketosis based on the amount of carbs. Many people (me included) do not go into ketosis on a zero carb diet. The reason is because protein produces an insulin response. It is not smart to ignore the effects of protein preventing ketosis. At 28:46 Westman finally mentions that measuring ketones is important. This is the first time I’ve seen that and I’m glad that he is learning the importance of measuring ketones.

[@kenadams5504]

His name is Doctor Westman ,and he speaks about low carb eating inducing ketosis because (excepting anomolies) it always does .

@@kenadams5504 It's important to be accurate and saying that very low carb eating induces ketosis is definitely not accurate.

​@@kenadams5504 It's important to be accurate and saying that very low carb eating induces ketosis is definitely not accurate. What is accurate is measuring ketones. If someone produces ketones then they are on a keto diet no matter what they eat.

I've worked with her She advocates for "whatever works for you," which for some people can include lower ketones, but if you follow her protocols she'll likely be recommending being above 1.0 MM @@fredsmit3481

[@Slammer12]

Her comments about taking things out of the diet being more effective than adding things in only makes sense if you already know what a person is eating. Otherwise it’s taken completely out of context

Type 1 always need insulin, of course. Dr Westman has been bringing type 2 diabetics off medications using a ketogenic diet for years - always medically supervised.

[@standom2390]

It’s hard to listen to Dr Westman, as he can’t produce a sentence straight without way too carefully picking words. This prudence is redundant. Feels like superficial uncertainty. I believe this is circumlocution. It affects listener’s experience negatively. Hope that could change, as the content is valuable. Thank you.
