Ketogenic diets and mental health with Dr. Chris Palmer - Diet Doctor Podcast

[@erikahollister]

After a lifetime of struggle with depression, I went gluten free, then grain free, then very low carb. My depression evaporated and has never returned. I'm so grateful to have found this. I will be low carb for the rest of my life! Only after my discovery, did I begin to find affirmations like this interview. I did read about a parole officer who had great results with parolees who agreed to eliminate sugar and junk food. They lost their aggressions and anger, and basically they were able to live normally. Halleluja!

My mother has schizoaffective disorder (diagnosed in 2008) and dementia diagnosed beginning of 2017. Three years ago I became a health coach and helped her change her diet to a ketogenic diet and fasting lifestyle. Her Hemoglobin A1C came down from 9.9 to 8.2 within 2 months and now it’s 6.6 (last checked this October), her head scan is inconclusive as far as dementia compared to 4 years earlier, she’s lost weight, she’s off insulin shots (since the very beginning). Her kidney doctor insists in keeping her on low dose blood pressure meds. although her markers are doing so well. She’s more energetic, not forgetful or depressed as before. She continues to take her psych meds . She’s had no crisis since 2018 (when I started her on this diet and lifestyle).

I have suffered with winter depression “all my life.” Been on meds for 30+ years. This is the first year I forgot to start my med protocol. I started keto in April 2021 after I survived Covid, to recover from damage done by that disease. I took in no nutrition for 2-3 weeks while ill (not hospitalized as there was no room unless I was near death) and all meds were stopped. My blood sugar and hypertension came down and stabilized at a “normal” levels even while I was ill! I was prescribed carbs by my doctor to “regain my energy” but my BG and HT returned so I found info online why not eating may have helped those symptoms; which led me to keto diets. I decided to refeed that way. I have 1 long Covid symptom left. After watching this video the first time, when I look back, I realized that winter didn’t agree with me when I was 7 years old! Over the decades the depression was lingering into the rest of the year and I was getting ready to change medications again and adjust the protocol. Thank you so much for this video!! What a revelation for me! No signs of any depression this year!! My psychiatrist is watching me very closely this winter. (And, off all other prescriptions with blood test results in the normal range after six months ketovore.) Feels like a miracle.

Since i started living a keto lifestyle couple years ago i definitely felt like i could handle stress immensely better than before which usually had me depressed to a certain level. I was also constantly using pain killers coz of bad joints. Today i feel so much better and i do not need any pills to get me thru the day. Love it. Will not go back to the way i used to live.

I, too, have to give my testimony. I have literally been living in depression for the past 10+ years. My emotions have been an exhausting roller coaster! I listened to another one of his podcasts and decided to give the Keto a try for my mental health. And so far, it's been almost a month and this is probably the most mentally stable I have ever been in my entire life. My eyes have brightened up and I feel so light and free. My cravings are practically gone because I would not trade a piece of cake for my peace of mind ever again in my entire life. Im going to stay on this path and by the grace of God, I am set free for good! This may not be a solution for everyone, but if you are curious and at your wits end, I say give the low-carb life a try!

[@liznichols4916]

I was on 2 different SSRIs in June of this year. I have completely come off of these meds on the keto diet. I did have the help and guidance of my doctor. This was my idea not his but he helped me titrate off slowly. I feel better now mentally than I did on both meds. This works well people.

[@Fannullone]

I had binge eating disorder for over 15 years. Tried every diet, nothing worked. Triggers were all high carb foods. I felt like an alcoholic and feared this would never end. Three years ago I started keto eating and transitioned to carnivore diet. I feel like a huge bag of potatoes was lifted off my shoulders. There are no cravings and, luckily, I eat all the foods I really like but previously avoided (because they "cause cancer"), for example, beef and pork and offal. When I was binge eating my whole energy and thoughts were focused on when and what to eat. All the time. I could not manage my thoughts, they were persistent and obsessive. I thought I needed "stronger will" to overcome them and eat like, say, my husband, who is able eat just one biscuit, but I had to finish the pack and continue with something else. I tried to practice my "strong will" but failed miserably each and every time until I changed the food I was eating. I have NO FOOD RELATED THOUGHTS at all. I eat when I am hungry, and it happens twice a day. I do not salivate at the sight of a cake or sweets, and my brain is like re-programmed. However, whenever, and it happens now very very rarely, may be twice a year, I eat some carbs, even vegetables, the "thoughts" reappear. I don't follow them any more but know that if I returned to my previous way of eating, the binge eating cycle would definitely return.

[@boondoggle4820]

One of the biggest surprises since going keto and doing intermittent fasting are their effect on depression and anxiety. It’s been a profound mood stabilizer, and it’s probably due to a variety of factors including increased gaba in the brain, the stabilization of energy from eliminating spikes and drops in blood sugar, and the effects of ketones themselves which blunt hunger and appetite which likely makes you feel more calm in general. I didn’t think that it was even possible for me to have stable moods, but it’s been a surprising side effect of adopting a ketogenic lifestyle.

[@skippy7208]

How are you now, have you been able to stick to the diet?

I really appreciate how this doctor stayed true to the idea that we need more clinical trials before we can prescribe it as a first line attempt to treat some conditions. After being fooled by the food industry and its shoddy science for most of my life, I'm only going to follow the gold standard science for my own health. I feel like we have the concrete evidence of low carb diets helping with weight loss and metabolic health which is why I switched to Keto/low carb to help me with those issues. If this turns out to be preventative for Altimeters and other mental illness, that would be great.

Re: client cannot afford keto eating. Dr Ken Berry and nurse Neisha dedicate part of their Monday night KZbin Q & A sessions to suggested purchases of animal products for the impoverished. Canned meats, cheap eggs, hot dogs and bologna, sardines, 10# tubes of ground beef are their suggestions. They say that the cheapest, lowest grade animal products are always better than processed starches and junk food. I can get 2,000 calories of animal products at my local dollar store for for under $4. No shame!

used this diet to recover from anorexia, myself. lemme say, was way better than trying to eat grains and veggies and nuts and shit people tried to push down my throat. was rough as hell and took 3 years, though. the hardest part was i had no idea i was storing calories and didn't start gaining till i worked out. it took 4000-6000 calories, though, because I was in starvation for years.

[@elizabethlavet7528]

The reduction of inflammation, improvements of hormones and neural transmitters, with the ketogenic diet seems to help improve mood, thinking, energy, and reduces pain. It is a healthy way of eating. It seems to me, even if a doctor feels compelled to treat with conventional evidence based medicine, to fail to mention the possible benefit from ketogenic, reduced refined foods, exercise, along with the standard firstline of defense seems to me to be wrong. Dietary intervention or information should not be totally ignored just because a patient is not asking for help to lose weight or does not need to lose weight. We know too much, even if only through experiences, to withhold the information. Granted, patients may not change their way of eating without support; however, the first step could be awareness, they deserve that.

McDonalds burgers are cooked in HIGHLY inflammatory oils, so ordering a burger 🍔 without the bun is not as simple/safe as it sounds.

Eating out anywhere is difficult, but sometimes necessary. Things happen. I avoid it most of the time. I carry gluteneze which helps with cross contamination. It does not work perfectly. Just because they say it is gluten free does not mean it is. I ordered real cheese. The knife they used to cut it had crumbs on it. However, thanks to the gluteneze I was not sick for a week. Just uncomfortable a few days. The crumbs were face down on the plate. Hidden. Took a bite and had wheat in my mouth. I also carry ox bile that I find helps with the lamp oils.

❤️ Please read this whole thing. Mental health problems, brain fog, depression, and even full blown psychosis can be helped greatly if they get CORRECTLY treated for B 12 deficiency. ( VERY IMPORTANT VIDEO FROM EXPERTS BELOW) Almost all doctors are making mistakes in diagnosing and treating this problem. They were never trained properly in the details of this nutritional deficiency, and are missing critical information. Failure to diagnose this or treat it correctly ( correct protocol is described in the video below ) can result in severe injury to the patient because of ongoing NERVE DEMYELINATION.. B12 deficiency causes a cascade of *seemingly unrelated symptoms* because it affects the entire body ) Almost all Doctors and nurses don't understanding how to *correctly* Test for it, they're doing several things incorrectly, testing, parameters, treatment protocol, necessary things that work together.... treating it incorrectly can HURT YOU. Besides getting rid of grains ( grain brain / wheat belly / brain fog and inflammation) This is so important : B 12 deficiency can cause severe depression, miscarriages, brain fog , forgetfulness, confusion, difficulty making decisions, progressing to full blown dementia/ Alzheimer's, painful neuropathy, pins and needles, feeling electric shocks, imbalance, stumbling, falling, worsening fine motor control, dropping things, clumsiness, worsening handwriting, these are all signs, progressing all the way to being wheelchair bound or bedridden and unable to walk, Incontinence, blurred vision all the way to blindness, and mood swings, depression, crabbiness to anger, mental health disorders, all the way to full blown psychosis. Most doctors misdiagnose these symptoms and try to treat them all SEPARATELY, by giving more and more prescriptions for drugs that have a huge list of negative side effects.... while the Methylcobalamine deficiency continues to get worse and worse, and more and more symptoms develop because the NERVES ARE BEING DE-MYELINATED. Healthy nerve signals are needed for *EVERY* organ and function in the body to work. If Nerve demyelination progresses , the person can end up wheelchair bound, bedridden and in diapers . Full body collapse, *multiple organ failure and death.* It looks like rapid aging or M.S. -- In fact many people who are in a nursing home, could have their symptoms reversed if treated quickly enough. Treating this quickly is important because some symptoms like blindness are irreversible. If you know anyone who has any of those symptoms, should listen to this KZbin video by medical experts and take lots of notes --- It's called " DIAGNOSING AND TREATING VITAMIN B-12 DEFICIENCY." That title exactly, and take lots of notes, because almost no doctors or nurses are trained properly in this area of nutritional deficiencies, and they don't test it properly and don't treat it correctly at all. Many people have a problem with methylation because of a gene, And a very high percentage of people have difficulty processing the cheap, synthetic version of B12 ( cyanocobalamin, don't use that because it takes ten complicated conversions in the body, which is VERY difficult and most bodies aren't able to properly convert it into the usable form. We need Methylcobalamine specifically *PLUS* other important specific nutrients* described in the video that are needed together with the B12. This book is excellent also : "COULD IT BE B-12 ? AN EPIDEMIC OF MISDIAGNOSIS." COCONUT OIL FEEDS THE BRAIN. See also " NURSE CURES HUSBAND'S ALZHEIMER'S WITH COCONUT OIL" But that's not enough. You need the correct treatment for B12 or things continue to get worse. . ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ .

Your comment and from a lot of videos I have watched over the years of doing this diet change under a GP's supervision. I live in Australia and my journey from 100kg down to 83kg at present and now 4 weeks into Carnivore has been one of self education. Trying to talk to my GP is a non starter. They look at you as being bonkers, that you would consider diverting from THE HEALTH GUIDELINES is reckless. It is people like you and dozens of others on u-tube that have changed my life. I think trying to change the health guidelines is a waste of time when big pharma and the refined food industry has such a big input into what is healthy.

It's depressing Dr Palmer is more concerned about litigation than being able to help patients. What has the medical field come to for that to happen?

The bonus for me was my deep depression practically disappeared and I now have a positive outlook on life.

Where do you live that bread is more expensive than meat?

[@montycora]

Nope, not where I live. Here in Brazil junk food is super cheap compared to healthy alternatives...

Every 3 years my depression meds stop working so I have to get a new Rx. Does this work because the brain runs on ketones instead of glucose?

Jesus said: There are some evil spirits that can only be defeated by prayer and fasting". What he should have said: "People with epilepsy can be helped by the ketogenic diet and prayer" [which is a powerful placebo].

[@valeriegriner5644]

I thought that the whole treatment diet for epilepsy was HIGH FAT/low carb. Maybe I'm confused, but I know that FAT is GOOD! Ketosis is GOOD!

Go for vegan keto .. eat very low glycemic carb can give us ketosis.

"Guidelines" ...? Would you mean guidelines set by same authorities that told us to fear cholesterol? Same authorities that are now mandating mass population vax? Quite dangerous to conform in situations of potential harm & put faith in those same "authorities "

[@wendyscott8425]

No one is "mandating mass population vax." And btw, I've had 4 shots, and, amazing as it seems, I haven't grown two heads. Billions of people have been vaccinated against covid, with few if any serious side effects.

Big Pharma. 👿 Greatest victory #Died Suddenly# They give a s_it as long as billions keep flowing in.

Wait keto and ketamine? Thats basically what I do for fun.

If the first-line treatment he recommends over dietary change includes SSRIs, then this guy is not worth listening to. I hope that is not what he meant.
