Dr. Annette Bosworth

And I asked her the other day if she was doing something.

She wanted to go to the church with me, which means she left the house.

And she was at the church, and she was giving her instructions to do this, go around here, and put it over there and give her a little job.

And she said, do you understand?

And the girl replied, I understand.

I said, what's the big deal?

And the mother said she had never said a three-syllable word in her whole life.

Two syllables is all her brain could ever put together for the first time in her whole life, three weeks onto a ketogenic diet.

And this Alzheimer's diagnosed patient who had Down syndrome

now had a brain that was not only working great, it was doing the best mom had ever seen it.

And on a ketogenic diet, not only did she lose about 15 to 20 more pounds, but her world opened up again because her brain, which had Alzheimer's, no longer had that diagnosis.

right so how do i measure my blood ketone levels is that what these devices are here yeah i mean when i look at um uh giving patients the freedom to say don't don't come to me for the things that i that you can do at home first thing is be willing to check data okay so blood way better than any other way to measure this we're going to be able to see should we have a contest which one's better yeah okay so you want to go first

And so we're going to look at that at the same time as your blood sugar, which is how you can measure insulin.

It's the best proxy for saying how high is his insulin.

So put both of them in there before you go because then you don't have to prick yourself twice.

A blue one is going to measure the ketones and a brown one is going to measure your glucose.

Yeah, I think there's a kit that comes with about 50 strips so you can have ketones and glucose at the same time.

I'm guessing it's around $70 or maybe it's $60 to $70.

They have quite the, yeah, put it all in.

There you go.
