wasnt there a recent post, rebuking ketogenic diet is not much of difference.

also HEROIN damaged brain, who drove his family member to OD on it, plus cocaine, and decades of parasite exposure. and he resulted in 80+ somoan Dead children by advising them to not take the MEASLES VACCINE.

thats DR.OZs job.

Why would anyone take anything seriously from a man who had actual brain worms.

I do think it'd be interesting to do a real study on it. Keto can reduce seizures, and after study it might turn out the same mechanism of action that helps there helps with schizophrenia symptoms. I hope there's a more extensive study being planned out there.

I've suspected for a while now that a good chunk of common health issues might be caused by malnutrition. Like energy needs are being met and/or exceeded, but not necessarily the case for each nutrient.

Like I've started to recognize when I'm protein deficient. I get a headache and general unwell feeling. I'll have an appetite for things with protein but it doesn't just feel like hunger.

And personally, if I'm feeling depressed and unmotivated to do anything, even what's usually fun, I can resolve that with a vitamin b-complex supplement (usually I take vitamin D and K2 with it, so those could be playing a role), and if that doesn't have me feeling better (as in normal, not just "less depressed") within 15 minutes or so, I also take a magnesium supplement. This may or may not work for anyone else (it requires that your depression be caused by b and/or magnesium deficiency), but it has consistently worked for me since 2020, when it helped get over the exhaustion that might have been long covid.

Micronutrients are essential for many different body functions and I think it's easy to miss some if you don't have a lot of variety in your regular diet, especially if you mostly eat processed stuff where the process could inadvertently remove or change the nutrients into something we can't absorb.

I agree that one's biome can also play a big role, though I think nutrient intake (both what you consume and what you absorb) and gut biome health can end up in a vicious cycle because those microbes also need the right nutrients to stay healthy and can be exposed to substances that are fine for us but toxic to them. I haven't looked in a while, but this was my objection to all the studies that "showed" glyphosate was safe, as the ones I saw were mostly about how it doesn't react with any of our own bio-processes, but no information about whether that's the same for the bacteria we have a symbiotic relationship with.

He makes money off of stupidity, though; his and others.

It’s more insidious than that. In general, meat forward diet influencers are entry points into the conservative pipeline. You start out seeking to improve your health and very quickly end up exposed to jordan peterson types who will ominously warn you of the “normalization of inadequacy” among the general public and suggest progressively more conservative content as a pathway to achieving your full potential.

So in essence, though he may not seem to directly benefit, by highlighting these types of diets he knows plenty of people will hop on youtube or whatever and get algorithm’d right back into the broader MAHA/MAGA sphere

It's a brutally boring diet after awhile.

It's a treatment for people who don't respond to medicine.

It's pretty interesting! I listened to a medical history podcast about keto years ago.

https://maximumfun.org/transcripts/sawbones/transcript-sawbones-ketogenic-diet Apparently the diet started as a treatment for epilepsy. Way back in history people noticed that if you were inclined to have seizures and were starving, you had fewer seizures. In the early 1900s there were experiments to figure out how to reduce seizures without, you know, starving them to death. keto!

I wouldn't be shocked if keto had some kind of effect on the brain that helps with schizophrenia, but there's no real info yet.

I don't know what you're trying to say here
