MCT oil to your plan. We're going to talk about why. So kido has been around for quite a few

years and they use it for children when they had something called drug resistant epilepsy. So if you're treating

epilepsy with drugs and the drugs don't work then they would go to the keto

diet. Now why wouldn't they go to the keto diet first? Well because there's not a lot of profit in the keto diet, but the ketogenic

diet lowers the carb, increases ketones, and what's unique about that is ketones can supply energy to damaged neurons.

So if there's some type of short-circuiting going on in the brain where there's an

epileptic seizure,

there's obviously damaged neurons.

So apparently if the nerve cell is damaged,

glucose is not the right fuel.

Ketones are. But MCT oil, which is usually from coconut oil, turns into ketones pretty fast.

There is a six monthmonth randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled trial done on dogs,

and it was shown that MCT oil is very effective for seizures.

Now, there's also some interesting studies on doing fasting for

epileptic seizures as well. I mean I don't know why you wouldn't want to combine fasting with the ketogenic diet and

MCT oil. I would do that if I had seizures. Now there's something else I want to explain to you

that's very important. Your brain prefers ketones as fuel. If given the

choice between glucose or ketones, your brain will always use ketones as a priority fuel because
