Do you ever feel absent-minded let me showyou how to stop it what is being absent-minded it's basically a lapse ofawareness you're forgetful easily distracted and all of this occursbecause your neurons your brain cells are tired and they're basically starvingfor energy you see the neurons are usually dependent on
glucose or lactateokay these are fuel sources but what happens is when you consume those fuelsthey have a bit of a side effect because cognitive dysfunction as well asabsent-minded good thing that your body can use another type of fuel and thatfuel is called what was that umm let me
thinkoh that's right ketones that's right ketones suppress glucose consumption orutilization let me explain if there is ketones and glucose in your blood okayso here's your blood vessel you have ketones and glucose glucose will not beutilized by your brain because ketones prevent glucose from being utilized ifthere's ketones in
your blood now in the rest of the body it's the exact oppositeif you're trying to get into ketosis or you're taking ketones then you eat somecarbohydrate and you have glucose in your blood ketones will be suppressedand your body will be utilizing the glucose but if there's ketones andglucose
in their blood the body will prefer ketones but what happens when youhave cognitive impairments and you become absent-minded the actual nervecells whether it's from any gene or chronic consumption of glucose you startdamaging neurons in certain parts of the brain the prefrontal cortex hippocampusthen you start to what was
I just thinking become absent-minded the simplesolution to even bypass a damaged nerve cell is to start to increase yourketones the ketones will do a lot of thingsfirst of all they're going to feed the neuron whatneeds to function ketones also affect the potassium channels and thosechannels are intimately involved
in the communication process between neuronsnow we have way more communication and by the way don't forget to consume a lotof potassium from your foods or supplements to make sure you have enoughraw material also the mitochondria which is the energy factory of the cell whenit burns ketones there'll be
less waste product when the body burns glucosethere's a lot of garbage as residue but not with ketones it's more efficientyou'll be able to extract more energy from the calories that you're consuminghow do you generate ketones well it's very simpleyou just lower your carbohydrates below 50 for a lot
of people you need to godown to 20 or even less if you're older and you have a slow metabolism the otherthing that's really really important you want to increase the time of fastingokay so in a minute fasting is very very important to repair a damaged brain notonly will
you generate way more ketones you will also kick in certain genes thatstimulate the growth of neurons we get what's called autophagy autophagy isa state where you're you're cleaning up all the damaged proteins in the brainand the rest of the body so you're you're making the body really clean
soit can function very very well so fasting is very very important and youwouldn't want to go at least eighteen hours of fasting with a six hour eatingwindow combined with lower carbs to start to turn this thing aroundbut because ketones do suppress glucose consumption you may want to also
takeketones now exogenous ketones are a bit expensive and less expensive a veryefficient way to do it is just by adding MCT oil now some people actually use MCToil to supply like half of the dietary fats you can do that but if you're gonnastart MCT oil always go into
it slowly because too much too fast can causediarrhea or cramping so you start with one teaspoon and then onetablespoon and then more and more more gradually over that weeks but if you'reabsent-minded or you have cognitive issues you definitely need to do both ofthese together and if you want
to you know speed things up you can actuallyadd that and even spread it through the day so you're constantly having ketonesin your blood and so your brain will just pull it right in despite how muchglucose you have in your blood now there's definitely some other thingsthat you need
to do to get rid of this symptom and that's what it is it's asymptom it's not a disease it's a symptom of a damaged nerve self and theone is sleep okay if you are sleep deprived I guarantee you will beabsent-minded because the effects that this has on cortisol
and stress andblood sugars it literally will destroy your brain also number two stop thinkingso much it's very common nowadays with theamount of stress that people go through to be in a state of constant analysisokay or thinking or solving problems 24/7 even when they're sleeping evenwhen they're exercising even
when they're going for a walk in naturethey're not even kind of looking out in nature they're so stuck in their headanalyzing everything to death it's very vital to take at least a small portionof the day one hour a day okay and just stop thinking go out there in
nature andjust start getting your attention going out and it's hard though because yourattention is so stuck in this problem and that problem this problem it's hardto undo it but you need to do it to kind of reset and get your focus back andthen the microbiome and you've got
there's a huge connection between thestate of microbes in your gut and your cognitive function because thesemicrobes actually make amino acids that then turn into neurotransmitters and sothere's this whole freeway channel between your gut and your brain back andforth definitely make mental now that if your gut is notwork
on that take a probiotic get your diet straightened out and you'll findthat your cognitive function will be a much much better there's quite a fewconnections between even Alzheimer's and gut health so I'll put some links downbelow alright guys so that's a wrap on this video there's another one
on brainphysiology that's actually quite interesting I think you'll like thatone I put it right here
