ACNE? The Keto Diet To The Rescue!

[@DarthVeers2]

I’m 22 years old and its quite admirable to see your son, a 15 year old, take such attention to his health. Having a high level of self-discipline and conscientiousness at his age is simply awesome!

[@grannaboo03]

Wow! What a handsome young man. I’m so glad he doesn’t have to suffer with acne, that destroys young people’s confidence. Good job Walker....GOOD JOB MOM!

[@barbrasse4944]

Thank you for sharing! My 15-year-old has struggled with acne and would get awful hormonal breakouts once a month. I had her watch this video with me and had her start eating keto (her dad and I have been doing keto for a while but she would eat horribly whenever she wasn't in our presence...). After a month of complaining and grumbling and declaring that she couldn't eat anything (and sneaking in junk a couple of times a week), it was time for her monthly hormonal breakout - and it never happened! She also noticed that her constant forehead whiteheads had diminished! Needless to say, she rolled her eyes at me when I declared that keto really DID work, but she also smiled and agreed.

[@watergirl4547]

Great job Walker!! I have a granddaughter who is 15 and she struggles with acne. I will be sharing this with her and her parents. Thank you!

[@billleach3396]

What a delightful young gentleman! While he is obviously an individual in his own right, he is also a fine example of the importance of family and good parenting! I'm trying to express that his input on this video was indeed a valuable contribution!

[@themightydodge3862]

Thanks Walker. You're the 1st youngster I have seen in ketosis. You likely will help quite a few youths with this vid. Wish I knew about keto when I was young.

[@neatoketo6238]

Walker has his Mama's good looks! ;) I also have a 10th grade son, Grant, who struggles with acne (as well as ADHD.) He's done keto off and on for the past 3 years, because that's how I cook and the food I provide at home. But outside of home, he's sometimes keto, sometimes not. School is challenging. He usually skips breakfast and sometimes lunch. We've recently done gut testing (GI map), and discovered he had C Diff (toxin A and B), which he was totally asymptomatic for, but which was definitely causing inflammation. We've treated that holistically, as well as leaky gut, and removed many foods he was sensitive to (wheat, dairy, beef, eggs) for awhile. His skin got much better, but still not completely clear. We've been debating the dreaded Accutane, because it did work for his older brother, and we want to avoid more scaring. I'll have him watch this video and hopefully he'll agree to trying strict keto, with adding your ketone supplement (which coincidentally I just received a few days ago!) Grant has stated many times that he feels better when on keto, but for all the obvious reasons, it's hard for him to continually stick with. (Also, casein & whey might still be an issue.) Hopefully the exogenous ketones will make the difference. Thank you doc and Walker for this helpful video! It gives us a direction to move in next.

[@audrey3042]

Thank you Dr. Boz and to your son Walker for such an inspiring video. My daughter is the same age as Walker and is testing the keto waters from watching me have so much success. I suffered from acne for years and keto and intermittent fasting changed everything. I think it’s so important to lead by example. Mama bear is proud! Way to go Walker!

Great video! My 15 year old has acne so after many creams (and expense!) I’m convincing her to at least try the ketogenic diet. She is sour with me tonight (it’s her first night!) so I gave her MCT oil to kick start her. Hopefully diarrhoea won’t ensure or I’ll be blamed for everything wrong with the world! 🫣😅😅 but I’m hopeful she’ll stick to it and get cleaner skin. Thank you for this great video. It’s inspiring! ❤🎉

I love your videos. Easy to follow education. I wish i knew about this when i was a kid growing up.

[@shellyeasley7402]

Oh my goodness Walkers skin is amazing! I wish I knew all of this when I was a teenager. I am 59 years old and still battle with horrible acne. This was so incredibly helpful to me although I have been doing IF now for almost three months which has helped and I have gone back to Keto and my acne is just about gone. I will look into exogenous ketones to keep it under control. I found your videos last week and bought your book which I absolutely love (not quite finished) Thank you so much for making this understandable for me 💞

[@neatoketo6238]

You might have leaky gut and some food sensitivities that are contributing. Life Extension Foundation has a food sensitivity test that's on sale (April only) for around $150. Also screens for yeast overgrowth. I've used it many times over the years and found it to be helpful. Or you can try an elimination diet (like AIP protocol) to figure out which foods are problematic. After removing the troublesome foods for 2-6 months, and treating leaky gut, you can often slowly add back in the foods to your diet without problem.

[@shellylucas2835]

Great video again! We have three people in our household on strict Keto. My mom who's 78 and is dealing with cancer, I'm 47 and dealing with perimenopause and one of my daughters who exhibits some signs of insulin resistance. We've gotten some great results from the keto diet and are trying to learn and absorb all we can to turn these situations around. Your doctor Boz ratio has been invaluable!! Thank you.

Great content! Thanks for boiling this down to a short video. My mom has beaten lymphoma 4 years ago and just kicked butt on rectal cancer, but the treatment took a toll on her bone marrow and she is still not producing blood cells. She carb addicted but now open to anything to help. I talked her & her SNF doctor into skipping breakfast/intermittent fasting to boost stem cell production. I am now inspired to add exKetones to her water and this video is short and informative enough to share with our family to help explain the concept. Thanks for the inspiration. Many blessings to all.

They obviously have no one guiding them to make healthy choices with their foods. I'm hearing that he mixed the Exogenous Ketones in a liter smoothie type container and drank it throughout the day.

Three of our four kids are trying the Keto diet, of their own volition. I must have done a good job hyping it .. Our oldest is 12 and is developing some acne, so I suggested it (before seeing this video actually), so he's been on the diet for more than a week. We haven't measured their ketones yet, but I do use a meter for myself (first to start it) and my dear wife (who actually had a higher ketone measurement this morning than me!). I'm trying to do essentially 'keto on steroids' due to some epilepsy and the underlying cause which is likely either autoimmune or cancer... Your video inspired me to order some exo-BHB and try that out to keep my ketone levels high. (BTW, I finished hearing the audiobook copy of Anyway-you-can and I really appreciated it.)

Bravo Dr. Boz. Its One thing to get them on a Keto diet in their very early youth, quite another as teenagers, after they have sampled all the carbs/sugar out there. School is FULL of them. OH how I wish I had known so as not to suffer through the agony of acne as a teen. I currently have Rosacea. I have been Keto for 7 months and my face and neck are less inflamed and very few of those Rosacea bumps peek out. I have heard that skin tags will begin to fall off the longer you are Keto? Can you confirm this? Looking forward to that as well. Thanks Walker for putting yourself out there and helping to spread the news.

[@-myatlanticblue-3636]

I can see the biohacking benefits of taking exogenous keytones as a shorter term keytone-boosting practice for healing purposes, but are there any negative outcomes from taking exogenous keytones long term? Over time, could your natural endogenous keytone production system decline due to the body adapting to rely more on the exogenous keytones? Could this long-term use create a form of "keytone production resistance" where the body naturally adapts to the presence of higher amounts of keytones and thus generates a homeostatic response which results in lower amounts of endogenous keytone bodies being produced? Enjoy the videos you produce, keep up the great work. Cheers

[@DoctorBoz]

The good/ better/ best part of the information shows you part of the answer. It is best to make them. ... but I could not have started the process in Walker. He was STUCK. There are no longterm problems reported. BUT I find that once their brain gets used the ketones ... they want less sweets. That was the cool transformation for me to witness.

[@-myatlanticblue-3636]

@@DoctorBoz So, maybe the exogenous keytones open pathways to a more natural affinity toward going and maintaining a ketogenic dietary lifestyle. Thank you for the reply. Cheers!

[@billleach3396]

I suggest that it is highly likely that long term exogenous ketone supplementation would ultimately suppress endogenous production since it is very likely that the body establishes "a control setpoint" for the amount of ketones in the blood. I doubt that there is any actual harm done by that condition however (unlike is known to occur for some long term hormonal supplementation). The difference is probably because the mitochondria that can produce ketones apear not loose that ability no matter how long the have not been doing that task. They may (and likely will) a bit sluggish to restart but restart they do.

[@billleach3396]

As a matter of biology, mitochondria that can use ketone as opposed to glucose will use ketones if they are available. I would suspect that high reading such as above 2.0 will show ketones in the urine. However, the therapeutic effect is that an abundance of ketones in the blood encourages mitochondria (that can use) to use ketones. While originally Dr Boz objected to using exogenous ketones she now supports their use because they help start (or-restart) ketone use by the body.

[@rhondawilliams9449]

[@billleach3396]

@@Susiesam1950 Remember, if you are keto-adapted and have been for awhile then 1.2 is a great ratio. Getting numbers like 5 and above essentially means that you are either over supplementing with exogenous ketones (which is appropriate under the right conditions), or you are not yet keto-adapted. When you are fully keto-adapted, ketone regulation will be similar to the regulation of all other homeostatic processes. That is the body will tend to produce the amount of ketones actually needed. The 'setpoint' seems to run around 1 plus or minus a few tenths. When you're seeing blood glucose levels in the 50's and lower, and your ketones are 0.6 to around 1.2 you are likely really functioning great.

It seems that my greatest success at both weight loss (which at the time was not a consideration) and health (which was the concern), I was really NOT eating to the keto guidelines. I was generally eating about 50-60% fat calories, roughly 30-40% protein, and 10-20% carbs. At that time I had a glucose meter but not a ketone meter so I have no idea of what ratios I was running. Loosing about 70 lb in roughly 5-6 months was a shocker since I had not been paying any attention to my weight. It was when I realized that I ran out of belt holes that I checked my weight.
