In this video, I’m going to talk about why, on top of doing the keto diet, you should consider using MCT oil for seizures.

Keto has been around for a number of years now. It was used for a situation called drug-resistant epilepsy. This is when drugs wouldn’t work for epileptic seizures. When this happens, they are put on a keto diet. Why didn’t they try the keto diet first? Because there’s not a lot of profit there—medications can be sold at a high price.

The keto diet lowers the carbs and increases ketones. In turn, ketones can supply energy to damaged neurons. If there’s a short circuit, there’s typically some kind of damage. If a nerve cell is damaged, glucose is not the right fuel. Ketones are far more efficient.

MCT oil turns into ketones very quickly. There was a double-blind placebo-controlled trial on dogs that showed significant improvements when using MCT oil.

There’s also a lot of data that supports using fasting for seizures.

Your brain prefers ketones over glucose for fuel. If given a choice, your brain will always use ketones.

Ketosis is also good for hyperactivity and ADHD.
