How I break a 72 hr fish fast - spoiler alert: with more fish 😂

The thing is that if you want to live long and healthy, you gotta have fish in your life.

Keeping ketones over 2 and certainly over 3+ mmol/L for too long, too often, doesn’t buy you more of the benefit.

Past a certain point, your mitochondria can’t move electrons through the chain fast enough, so instead of burning clean — one of the real perks of ketosis — you start throwing off free radicals instead.

What is the optimal ketone range — where you feel your best?

Long term ketosis can be dentrimental to your thyroid, like a too aggressive calorie restriction can be.

But it’s not a given.

Free T3 is naturally lower on a ketogenic / low carb diet, this alone doesn’t mean that ketosis is bad for you.

I will be sharing about energy toxicity from long term ketosis next.

Somewhere after 40, something shifts.

We stop performing and start living.

There’s just less energy for pretending everything’s fine, and even less for shrinking ourselves so someone else feels bigger.

It turns out honesty feels a lot better than being agreeable all the time.

Low carb can drop your T3 and raise your TSH, this happens always on a ketogenic diet.
Unfortunately, many doctors never ask what you’re eating before they look at those labs.
That shift is often just your body adapting to less glucose, NOT your thyroid failing.

Most people have never heard of boron.

This trace mineral is the second most important mineral in your brain, small amounts of it have ENORMOUS effects on how your brain functions.

Boron DIRECTLY influences your brain’s electrical activity, your dopamine and serotonin balance, and your ability to form memories.

USDA research found that low boron caused significantly worse performance in attention, memory, coordination and perception — and brain electrical activity in boron-deficient people looked identical to patterns seen in malnutrition.

Western countries are spraying glyphosate on almost everything we eat.

Here’s a boron-gut-brain link:

Glyphosate makes your GUT leak.

A LEAKY GUT leads to a LEAKY BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER, and once that happens, ALUMINUM floods into your brain.

*** Boron’s job is to repel aluminum — but when aluminum levels rise, it pushes boron out. ***

Boron deficiency = your body cannot make high quality proteins.

That’s the physical mechanism behind dementia and Alzheimer’s.

A new review in Nature Reviews Neurology just pulled together decades of research on obesity and the aging brain.

Carrying excess weight through your 40s and 50s is tied to changes in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex — your memory and focus centers.

Plus inflammation and blood vessel shifts that work against your brain over time.

The elevated dementia risk shows up even in women who lost the weight later on.

Midlife weight is not just an aescthetics problem.
