* Minor corrections
– In the MetS pentad there is a typo where “low” TG should be “high” TG. Kudos to those who were paying attention and caught this. I could say, “it was a test and you passed,” but in truth it was just a typo introduced by the editor that I (we) missed.
– Nutritional ketosis threshold is 0.5 mM.
– “Blue whale” B roll doesn’t show blue whales. We couldn’t find Blue whale B-roll. But as a fun fact, they can grow up to 200 tons and their only natural predator is Orcas. Also, their latin name is Balaenoptera musculus, which means – roughly – winged whale and mouse, respectively… which may be a pun by Carl Linnaeus when he named the species.

Thank you for saying thank you to the participants. I wish there was to thank them with at least a pin or shirt or something. They provide a service for all of us and probably never get a shout out.
I m a Het.FH. I ate Statin more than 10 yrs until now . My CAC score 450 in 2018. Now I on baby aspirin too. Can I do keto-diet safely??
Low HDL is considered to be a marker for insulin resistence.
Another research that will prove that keto will soon be declared as optimum diet. Hope there will be RCT on how keto compared with other diets on effects to memory and learning with students
How can your subscribers help convince the government to support this important researches? We can flood the government with email and postal mail.
My sleep is a little fcked up on keto though, not sure why I’m thinking carbs would make me sleep like a baby
Bravo 👍👍👍👍
So excited about this. I started keto for depression and it has transformed my life as well.
I absolutely love keto diet, it cured me from my 3 year long anxiety period, not even the psychiatrist did.
Great advocacy, it’s really helping me.
I'm sharing this with everyone. Thank you!
Impressive improvements in serious conditions BUT listen to the public health authorities bemoaning the massive escalation in mental health morbidity across the population but NEVER asking "WHAT ARE THEY EATING??"
Share to your counties Mental Hospital. I wonder if this will help the rehabilitation of prisoners
Hope there will be more research on nth stage CKD with GKI of less than 2
Jordan Peterson says eating beef has fixed his mental problems,
BIG BEEF needs to be throwing money at metabolic/mental health research.
Are these results sustained even after stopping a ketogenic diet protocol? It would be valuable to know whether this approach is comparable to some of the other keto benefits when it acts as an elimination diet to let various systems of the body heal, or whether these benefits here are directly linked to ketosis.
💯
Excuse me – 21 participants is a nearly pointless sample size. You'd need to multiply that number by 10 – better 100 – to begin to make any kind decent correlations.
Personally I had depression since 16 I'm 59 now keto is the only thing that I can only describe as waking up with joy
Thank you so much for the work you do and for drawing people's attention to this incredible study. Very inspirational. 💜
I've been on the keto diet for 5 weeks now and dont feel any improvement. Im starting to doubt the hype
Amazing videos Nick
I noticed that when I went low carb and no sugar, I wasn't tired and I spoke more eloquent.
I would like to see a study done for mental health with a group of participants are doing keto and another group doing whole healthy animal based diet for healing mental health and see those results because what if it’s not keto healing but just the quality of nutrition
So the solution would be to increase blue whale population… 😛
So what I'm seeing is, if we get our Blood cleaned and only eat none poisoned organic foods, problem solved!!!
Since when are low triglycerides bad… when they were put next to low hdl, high sugar, hbp
Thank you for providing such an informative video; I truly appreciate it.
There are also randomized trials showing that moving towards a Mediterranean diet can significantly reduce depression & anxiety severity:
* SMILES (2017) by Felice Jacka et al
* HELFIMED (2019) by Dr. Parletta et al
* Brief dietary intervention study (2019) by Heather Francis et al
* AMMEND (2022) by Jessica Bayes et al
A keto diet may provide similar health benefits. I personally believe most of the benefit comes more from cutting out processed carbs (donuts, pizzas, muffins, sugary cereals, cookies, etc) than from cutting out all carbs. Cheers…
Gigachad ain’t got nothing on that jawline. 🗿
Please have a research on ketones and intelligence for Grade Schools and college students
