Yeah this guy is the business. His Alzheimer's experiment was two groups 12 weeks on dietician designed low fat for one group and 12 weeks on keto for the other group

Then both groups go on normal diet for 12 weeks to clear any effects from the previous part

Then they swap. The first group does keto for 12 weeks and the second follows the dietician's low fat diet

So each person had both treatments

Note that there is no current treatment so you couldn't really compare to the current standard of care

Is dr Matt Phillips the one producing all those low carb papers? Motor neuron disease, MS, and the rest?

And yes he is that person, he talks about it about 10 mins in

One thing I like about his studies is they're not keto vs. standard diet, it's keto vs dietician designed perfect low fat diet

So everyone does better, and the keto people do best

Notes:

They speak about protective neuron health, via fatty acids and ketones.

Ketones produce more energy per unit oxygen and produce LESS free radicals and LESS oxidative stress in the brain. This oxidative stress may be contributing to neurodegenerative disorders.

Ketones are only one part, the main focus is on optimizing mitochondria biology. (The power house of the cell, cell free mitochondria)

Lifestyle disorders, and NDDs, metabolic syndrome - Mainly due to damaged mitochondria function.

From a mito centric point of view, our health is really about the health of our mitochondria.

Attacking symptoms leaves systematic causes in place. The standard of care for lifestyle and NDDs is not great, you almost have to be your own advocate and doing your own research.

Germ theory vs Terrain theory - If the host is healthy the germs don't have much of a foothold to make you sick. We don't need better medicine, we need better metabolic health.
