00:00:00
What can you tell me about this?
00:00:02
Well, if you look at the science, it's
00:00:03
enhancing cognition. We've seen a 50%
00:00:06
improvement in how individuals were able
00:00:08
to read and absorb information of better
00:00:10
decision-m and also we did a study and
00:00:12
showed that it delayed the progression
00:00:15
of metastatic cancer. And I've actually
00:00:17
taken this a number of times because
00:00:19
having been in research for the last 15
00:00:21
years and having lived with multiple
00:00:23
chronic diseases, one of which I
00:00:25
reversed. Some of the most powerful
00:00:26
strategies like this were not being told
00:00:28
to me when I went to the doctor's
00:00:29
office. So, let's dig deeper. I went
00:00:31
through some pretty dramatic moments in
00:00:33
my childhood. You know, I did everything
00:00:35
I was told, right? I exercised all the
00:00:36
time. I ate what I was supposed to eat,
00:00:38
but I still became obese.
00:00:40
You weighed about 255 lbs.
00:00:42
Yep. And I had no idea how damaging that
00:00:46
actually was to my body. And I think the
00:00:48
vast majority of people also don't. But
00:00:50
over 20% of children have obesity.
00:00:52
That's quadrupled over the last 30
00:00:54
years. And a big part of that is when it
00:00:56
comes to food, what looks healthy isn't
00:00:58
always healthy. And it's not by
00:00:59
accident. And then I ended up getting
00:01:01
diagnosed with a chronic irreversible
00:01:02
disease that obesity puts you at risk
00:01:04
for. And that immediately turned into a
00:01:07
journey to understand how to be healthy.
00:01:09
And I came across this diet a little
00:01:11
over a decade ago called the ketogenic
00:01:13
diet. So then I went into the science of
00:01:14
this diet and found positive impacts on
00:01:17
things like diabetes, obesity,
00:01:18
Alzheimer's, serious mental illness,
00:01:20
chronic diseases. And I was like, "Oh,
00:01:22
wow." Cuz a lot of people don't realize
00:01:24
that many of these are not just
00:01:26
preventable, but also reversible. So let
00:01:28
me tell you all about it.
