Keto is not a diet. It should be a lifestyle!

[@DK-pr9ny]

Better yet, it should be called a proper human diet.

[@kenadams5504]

Ketosis is a metabolic State , reachable with differing eating methods like vegan ,carnivore, ketovore etc . The common denominator is the minimal or absent amount of carbohydrates .

[@JasonBuckman]

Keto is a diet.

[@NewEarthBlog]

A part of a healthy lifestyle.

[@JasonBuckman]

@@kenadams5504 Which is done through diet. Restriction carbohydrates is a restriction diet.

[@Mrs.TJTaylor]

Ketosis got me on my feet again after two years of being bedridden and in the care of my family from a brain injury. Going on 5 years now and making progress that my neurologist told me would not happen for me. Ha!

[@papaarnie]

What a powerful presentation! Having been on low carb for almost 8 years now, I can attest to all that you've stated. It's not a diet, it's therapeutic and prescriptive!

[@guief7978]

Keto helped me with migraines. I am completely 100% free from migraines. It paralized me for 13 years, now free after practicing IF and keto diet.

[@kenadams5504]

Ketosis feels undescribably good , and allows for intermitting Fasting without food pre-occupation .Weight loss is possible with Fasting while in ketosis.

[@AnorExit]

Thank you for an inspirational presentation. "Therapeutic nutritional ketosis intervention" drives home the power of this medical treatment. Beyond my wildest expectation I witnessed my wonderful daughter return to sanity within 2 or 3 months of getting into moderate ketosis after 15 years of severe and chronic anorexia. We tried every medical intervention and modality available to pull her out of this nasty disease, and nothing made a dent. It is so important that the word gets out about this powerful intervention. Thank you!

[@Rebecca-je6qf]

I avoided keto flu by slowly, decreasing and cutting out things, and now I am barcode free.

[@heypauly2002]

Keto flu, turned out to be pretty easy thing for me to solve. All I did was start adding more salt to everything. It's all the symptoms went away in one day.

[@kenadams5504]

Keep an eye on your blood pressure... (sodium can elevate it ).

[@mattm1686]

That’s funny complete opposite for me. Low sodium diet made my blood pressure skyrocket normal to moderately high sodium made my blood pressure come to normal.

[@PalinaZ]

Most people don't necessarily lack just sodium but potassium

[@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline]

90% of people want a pill or pills so they can keep eating their addiction food😢. Only 10% have the self control to do these diets. That is the elephant in the room. This needs to change somehow.😮.

[@1timbarrett]

Our species is in for tough times. Eventually we may pull through, but how many folks will die from before we finally get it? 🤔

[@bouffon1]

Yes, 'run 5K and you can eat five muffins' kind of view.

[@HAL-1984]

Yup and the medical industrial complex is geared up for this in entirety starting with what they don't teach medical students all the way to the top of the chain. They want you to take the 💊 forever.

[@lasal134]

All TRUE! When I finally achieved Ketosis my life changed. I felt that I had been insane for most of my life. I was depressed, getting stupider and meaner all the time. This is such a powerful therapy that I hope it is recognized and used to help heal everyone in mental pain.

[@radar5464]

Why iscit so hard to understand brain and body are connected. Amazing. Of course what affects brain affects body and vice versa.

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! Therapeutic nutritional ketosis!

[@ZX9RDan]

Moving in the right direction but... Working WITH one's doctor remains a challenge and sometimes, a big roadblock, and it will not change unless the standards of care are updated.

[@kerinski1009]

Bravo...let food be thy medicine!

[@luannianke8110]

Excellent talk. Nutrition / teaching in general takes EXTRA time. Most appts allow only 15 min. I don't think practitioners have time to LISTEN to what patients are saying or FEELING. Often I feel practitioners poo poo what patients learn on the internet. Lots of bad stuff on YT but there is lots of GOOD like this talk. Makes us THINK. thank you

[@ericcomfort6228]

Thank goodness that more and more physicians are recognizing the benefits of practicing functional medicine instead of just writing a script

[@ActivateMission2ThisTimeline]

Great idea to prescribe this ketonic nutritional intervention with meal plans, customization towards what people like to eat, calls to help support and answer questions, and a ketone glucose monitor to check progress. A CGM script would also be nice to verify glucose levels all day long.😊. I'm doing this diet and after 2 years it does have it's challenges.

[@marzymarrz5172]

As an old person I find this very interesting. I'm not diabetic but I have mitochondria and why not try to optimize the way my brain works for the rest of the journey.

[@BritGirlJay]

5 years of TNK for me (reversed my pre-type 2) - not on any medications and have no real health issues (sometimes I get allergies/headaches) I'm almost 50. Staying on it forever.

[@KnackFarmer-theanswerismeat]

Well now. Here's a path forward for the world's Doctors in their quest to benefit their patients.

[@IonTrone]

excellent presentation! this must be shared with mental health professionals and patients and parents and loved ones of those who may benefit from it!

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

He should look at the study that Great Ormand Children's Hospital did with children, after 2 years they concluded that the epileptic children there were in the High Protein, Low Carb group had stopped having epileptic seizures. That study was carried out 20+ years ago.

[@Rebecca-je6qf]

Thank you so much, Dr Scher! I love you

[@lorettadillon-ham1574]

Thank you Dr Scher for this presentation.

[@petercyr3508]

Yes, returning to our normal state of fat burning and ketosis will solve many problems. The crap we eat that destroys this normal state is a "diet".

[@marynayna6327]

Drugs are never the long term answer.

[@paulaalinsangan6435]

Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation. I have been on low carb for almost 20 months now and it has given me PEACE - in my gut and in my well-being. In my country (the Philippines), I still have to meet a doctor who incorporates nutrition with medical practice. With all these info going on for years, it is rather sad that practicing doctors here remain unaware, or they are but choose to be so.

[@openbutterflies]

What are you up to now, Dr. Scher? I ALWAYS learn so much from you but don't know how to follow you these days!

[@scottstevens6380]

Thank you.

[@karenohanlon4183]

20:17 We need to not start young children on what used to be known as occasional treats. Kids are weaned on to sugar. My own grandchildren go to minimal twenty birthday parties usual kid rubbish food served. When you add on holidays and outings its a constant diet of rubbish. Being overweight and obese is a contributing factor to poor mental health. Keto is something that Doctors have very little understanding of.

[@marynayna6327]

Yes and often we are the (drug) sugar pushers as grandparents,no more sweets juices or cakes in this Oma’s house.

[@1timbarrett]

My very own grandson is currently being weaned onto processed edibles. It is heartbreaking. ❤️‍🩹

[@karenohanlon4183]

I feel your pain. I try not to add to the problem by having sugar in. The other granny is a Baker and they get over dosed. I paint with them and colur in by silly puppets and try and amuse them . We explore bug motels out my back garden. Ideally I would love to take them to the beach collect shells or to the theater to watch musicals. But their mother is a bit of a controlling person and does not want me to bond. I took the older boy to his first panto five years ago and he still chats about it. To me food especially cakes and rubbish does not equal love.

[@marynayna6327]

@@karenohanlon4183 I’m so lucky in that regard I do live on the beach and can open my front gate and walk straight onto the beach,my 10 grandkids love coming here and food isn’t that important and they bring their own bottles of water.

So powerful talk

Let me tell my story. I am a vegetarian. Type 2 since 2000. I eat veggies, fruits, some eggs (3/week), some yogurt, legumes, lentils, NUTS. annual physical all these years. NEVER EXCEEDED a1c 6.5. Total chol~170-189, HDL-50, LDL~120. Trigly-50s-60s, Apo B ~100, SmLDL- 30 mg/dl (0r ~300 in number of particles(limit is 527), BP -115/70. Hovering a1c ~6 from last 5 years. I am a FULL BLOWN DIABETIC and yet my a1c numbers are ~6 for 23 years simply by using FOOD AS MEDICINE. Walk 10,000 steps 5 days/week, BMI~23. I will NEVER use the WORD REMISSIOn since glucose can shoot up to 250 with in 1/2 hr of eating high carb meal (ex:RICE, PASTA, etc). If I do it, I wll EXCERCISE for 45 mins to bring it down to

[@1timbarrett]

You sound like a thoughtful person. Best wishes for your health journey. 🤞

[@sunwm2003]

Ever thought about adding meat and reduce fruits? As long as you stay on vegetarian, your health won’t be optimal.

[@kenadams5504]

As long as healthcare can profit from ignoring what you do for your condition , then other diabetics will not be advised (properly) that they can also do what you do. Theres no profit in cures.

[@kelleemerson9510]

Maybe, if you made the base of your diet eggs, dairy, cruciferous vegetables, leafy greens you wouldn't have to be so diligent. Both sides of my family had diabetics. I feel great doing ketovore and have no worry (like I did) of becoming diabetic.

[@thalesnemo2841]

MANY pharmaceuticals do NOT metabolize as designed when in Ketosis. And yes, raising my hand to ever worsening insomnia as a week of ketosis became a month. Had to quit. (Female, low weight, over 60yrs)

I get tired of hearing the term 'weight loss diet' in reference to Keto. Only dishonest or ignorant people seem to use it.

[@shezarkhani3180]

Hi dear I will be grateful if you answer my question I started seven weeks ago for keto diet the first two weeks I last 3 kilo after another two weeks I last one kilo and for the last two weeks I didn't have any weight loss although I continued exactly the same with maximum of 50 grams carbohydrates. Would you please let me know what I maybe did wrong. Your advice is very helpful for me With thanks shary

[@gerlachsieders4578]

for a minute there, I was reading the title as 'ketosis as a medieval intervention'....

[@vli2000]

Are there long term studies of nutritional ketosis for type 2 diabetes? Patients have to be in ketosis the rest of their lives, right?

[@sunwm2003]

Very well said❤

[@theskyehiker]
