The Truth About Carbs and Your Brain - with Dr. Bret Scher
Blanket statements like "carbs are good" or "carbs are bad" are misleading. In this video, Dr. Bret Scher delves into the question: Are carbs bad for your mental health? Join Dr. Scher as he explores the complex relationship between carbohydrates and mental health, particularly focusing on the potential benefits of ketogenic therapy for serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression.
Key Highlights:
-Introduction to Carbs and Mental Health: Unpacking the myths and truths about carbohydrates and their impact on brain function.
-Ketogenic Therapy: An in-depth look at how ketogenic diets can serve as powerful treatments for mental illnesses, providing an alternative energy source for the brain, decreasing neuroinflammation, and improving mitochondrial health.
-Scientific Insights: Detailed discussion on the metabolic processes involved and how they can affect mental health conditions where glucose metabolism is impaired.
-Personal Tailoring: Thanks to technological advancements, like Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs), people can get a clearer picture of their individual metabolic health and glucose response, allowing them to pick the appropriate diet accordingly.
By the end of this video, you'll have a clearer understanding of the nuanced role that carbohydrates play in brain health and how ketogenic therapy can potentially benefit individuals suffering from psychiatric conditions.
