Keto synergy

I recently posted my latest presentation about Parkinson's and nutrition here youtube.com/watch?v=W7kT4Oo.... I call it a ketogenic lifestyle. I combine a ketogenic diet with MCT oil and sufficient exercise. (The presentation is in Dutch. Most here will not be Dutch speaking and can use subtitles in their own language).

Now I recently saw this video by Professor Stephen Cunnane youtube.com/watch?v=qFype3q.... The title is Keto Celebration 3 - Stephen Cunnane - Brain fuel metabolism in Parkinson's disease. He also points out the synergy between reducing carbohydrates, exercise and supplementation, but of course he substantiates this much better than I ever could. In this video, Cunnane shows that the problem with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease is that less glucose is absorbed by the brain cells. However, ketones are absorbed without problems and used as alternative energy. Moreover, it appears that glucose absorption also improves somewhat when using ketones.

Fasting is of course also part of it.

hi Peter good to hear. I posted something very similar a week or two ago - also covering ketone supplements and in particular Ketone esters.

Hello Peter,

Anyone here use ketone salts? Are they completely worthless? (Yes I know the esters are better but they taste too horrible.)

I add a scoop (the mg salt) to my morning coffee. (Along with about 500 other supplements. My coffee is like sludge.)

I should mention, I also eat a ketogenic diet AND take acarbose, so it's not like I have a lot of carbs to fight but I figure it can't hurt. Still, is it doing anything???
