"It's about inducing a state of ketosis, which is mimicking the fasting state."
"One of the coolest things...about intermittent fasting is it's kind of a gateway experience...to ketosis."

"If you think of fasting as a way...what happens during those states, you get a little ketotic."
"Ketosis is the condition where are you using ketones as your primary fuel."
"Once you become fat adapted, the weight loss is more steady, your body's more efficient using the ketones."

"If you're making ketones, you're burning fat aggressively."
"And just, just for the listeners as well, like nutritional ketosis is very different to the ketoacidosis that leads people into hospitals and we have to give them fluids and all the rest of it. That's more of a diabetic type complication. Yeah."
"Therapeutic ketosis generally favorably shifts brain energy neurotransmitter systems and really important card metabolic biomarkers in the right direction."
"You're in ketosis if your urinary acetoacetate is 40 milligrams per deciliter or above."

"The elevation of ketones then are supplying an alternative energy to the brain."
"But instead it serves as an example of how therapeutic ketosis can improve brain function."
"Nutritional ketosis with multiple health benefits."
"When you start going on ketones, your heart starts beating better. Maybe that increases the rate a bit. Your heart gets used to running on rocket fuel now."
"Need a significant degree of ketones to get it there so for a lot of my patients, I find that somewhere between 1 and 3 Millo beta hydroxy butyrate on the Ketone meter that seems to be the sweet spot for a lot of people."
"Our normal cells actually seem to thrive in that setting when they're burning fat for fuel using ketone bodies."
"It feels really good to be in ketosis because I know that the way that I was feeling yesterday, I'm unlikely gonna feel that again."
"Ketosis and ketoacidosis are two completely different things"
"Ketones have been found to benefit numerous aspects of the body."
"Ketones are also produced when somebody is on a very low carbohydrate diet."
"Exercise during the fasting period will accelerate the onset of the elevation in ketones and accentuate the increase in ketones. This will give a boost to all the mechanisms activated by fasting."
"Once you're in ketosis, once you are insulin sensitive, more is not necessarily better."
"When you are burning ketones, it is a state of being uncoupled from the energy coming in."
"Intermittent ketosis is so important on a 24-hour basis."
"Fasting is a very safe and effective way to get into a low grade state of ketosis and it improves inflammation. It also increases resistance to stress."
"Anything that has calories in it is going to break that cycle of ketosis. So you can have green tea without sugar or cream. You can have black coffee which we've seen doesn't really break it as much. Just avoid anything that has calories."

"Fat should be used to satisfy your hunger and not just added to boost ketone levels for the sake of it."
"The natural state is a state of ketosis."
"We've known about the effects of ketosis on the brain for thousands of years." - Kellie Barnhill
"Children and babies are born into ketosis, you know. They're not eating carbs; they're actually in ketosis."
"Nutritional ketosis dramatically improves insulin resistance in this population."
"But when you stop eating foods rich in carbohydrates and instead replace them with foods rich in fats, the brain uses the ketones from that fat as energy."
"Insulin is the only major anti-ketogenic hormone in your blood."
"Glucagon is pro-ketosis, insulin is anti-ketosis."
"Well you know certainly there's at least in our world of brain related issues a lot of great information about being in ketosis in terms of stimulating brain-derived neurotrophic factor to enhance in the brain's case neurogenesis."

"The importance of being fat adapted in ketosis is not just for energy; it's primarily for tissue for healthy tissue repair."
"When you have ketones in your blood... then you know that your body is actually using fat for fuel as opposed to sugar."
