#69 Treating Epilepsy With the Ketogenic Diet - Michel Lundell from Ketonix

Did you know that the ketogenic diet was originally used to treat epilepsy in children? Being in ketosis provides an alternate fuel source to the brain in the form of ketones, which help the person maintain stable energy and experience fewer seizures. Epileptic patients who've gone keto have actually managed to cure themselves of the disease completely after being on the diet for a while. What's more, they can then return to a different way of eating without getting remissions. That's quite crazy and magnificent! Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and today our guest is Michel Lundell. Michel is the founder and CEO of Ketonix, which is the leading ketone breath analyzing device in the world. He’s treating his own epilepsy with the ketogenic diet and is innovating the science of ketosis by helping people understand this mysterious metabolic state a lot better.  Timestamps: Why Michel Decided to Treat His Epilepsy with Keto 03:05 Different Ways of Measuring Ketosis 08:03 Difference Between Blood Ketones and Breath Ketones 19:25 What Michel is Eating for His Epilepsy 22:14 Why Does Ketosis Help with Epilepsy 31:42 How to Interpret Your Ketone Readings 36:50 And Much More...
