Summary

Today I want to share some important information for those of you who experience seizures.


Common triggers of seizures:

• Fever

• Head injury

• Brain infection

• Choking

• Alcohol

• Drug withdrawal

• Extremely low blood sugar

• Drugs

• Toxins

• Stress

• High blood pressure


Data shows that keto is effective in eliminating seizures by a factor of 50 to 70 percent. But it's important to be on the healthy version of the ketogenic diet. The keto diet for epilepsy also includes more fat than protein.


Ketones are a byproduct of fat. Fat and ketones are the primary fuel source that our bodies should run on—not glucose. It's also the preferred fuel source of the brain.


Top potential benefits of ketones for seizures:

• They have anticonvulsant properties

• They stabilize the excitability of the neurons

• They modulate neurotransmitters

• They support the brain, including the hippocampus

• They increase the hippocampus's mitochondrial biogenesis

• They protect the brain and neurons against oxidative stress

• They increase the ATP in the neurons to allow them to function better


In my opinion, one of the best natural alternative options for seizures is to get on the Healthy Keto® diet.


Natural ways to potentially help prevent seizures:

1. Get on the Healthy Keto diet

2. Start intermittent fasting

3. Take ketones

4. Consume foods higher in fat with moderate protein

5. Consume cod liver oil

6. Consume nutritional yeast

7. Exercise

I want to give you some really good information to hopefully end seizures, okay, if you have them.

What is the seizure? It's an uncontrollable shaking motion of either your whole body or one part

0:14.4

of your body with different levels of unconsciousness. So with some people, you can go completely

0:19.8

unconscious. Other people, you can go completely unconscious. Other people,

0:22.0

you can go partially unconscious. And a seizure is in a single episode of that event. And epilepsy

0:28.7

is a condition where you have multiple or ongoing seizures. Now they're triggered by various things,

0:35.2

fever, head injury, infection in the brain, choking,

0:38.8

alcohol or drug withdrawal, extreme low blood sugar can trigger them.

0:44.4

Certain drugs and toxins can trigger them.

0:47.8

And by the way, as a side note, since we're talking about toxicity in relationship to triggering

0:53.3

a seizure, B6 is an effective remedy to

0:56.8

help lower the toxicity. And then, of course, you have various types of stresses or even high

1:02.5

blood pressure that can trigger a seizure event. And there's many theories in what causes a seizure,

1:08.8

but typically it's a hyper excitability of a nerve.

1:12.6

And if you look up seizure and Wikipedia, you'll have a lot of great information, all

1:17.9

describing what it is and the various medications that you can use, unfortunately with a lot

1:22.7

of side effects. And then when you get to this thing called the ketogenic diet, you'll see that there's low

1:28.2

quality evidence to show that the ketogenic diet is effective, but you can use the ketogenic

1:35.8

diet for a very specific type of epilepsy, which is called drug-resistant epilepsy. So if the drugs don't work, then you can use the ketogenic diet.

1:47.5

I found that very interesting.

1:48.8

In fact, it's a great marketing strategy to position the ketogenic diet is some side thing

1:54.5

that you might want to try if the drugs don't work first.
