Scientist and expert advocate in this space Dom D’Agastino articulates just how and why ketones affect the brain. (The real horse power behind ketosis is its brain-based impacts.) Though, this shouldn’t come as a surprise; the diet has been used as a last-chance therapy for epilepsy for the better part of 100 years.

Dom also discusses how ketones affect the immune system, cancer-cell metabolism and even heart health. It’s a fascinating and very detailed discussion. I think you’ll get a lot out of it. Key Takeaways: 01:38 One of Dr. D’Agostino’s early experiments lead to researchers developing and using ketones as a mitigation countermeasure to prevent oxygen toxicity seizures. |

Today’s guest, neurologist and sleep specialist Stasha Gominak, MD discusses how vitamin D (from the sun) is needed to improve the stability of gut bacteria, which in turn help synthesize B vitamins necessary to facilitate deep sleep. Not only that, the repairs that deep sleep offers also appear to be mediated by B vitamins made by gut bacteria, according to Dr. Gominak. She refers to these bugs as “B vitamin factories.” Check out the show notes: http://highintensityhealth.com/203 Watch the video interview: https://youtu.be/74F22bjBmqE (Psst … this isn’t the first time we’ve heard this. James Adams, PhD, reported similar findings from his lab at Arizona State University and discussed them during the Autism Intensive.) Also, Dr. Gominak reveals another interesting finding about sleep: the brain stem paralyzes us while we’re sleeping (not all at once, but it’s a pulsatile paralysis needed to repair our tissues). This is why nose breathing while you’re sleeping is super important (a topic we talk about a lot here). 02:29 Hundreds of Dr. Gominak’s patients, children, teenagers and young healthy females, didn’t have REM sleep.
