People just โ even if they want to try it, even if they're already addicted to it, now they are highly motivated to get off of it. Why? Because it's costing them an arm and a leg. Yeah, money hurts. And they realize that I just don't want this. We could do similar things with ultra-processed foods. If rebellion, education, whatever, I don't care what works. All of the above.

But we're all of the above. We're really fighting an uphill battle. So ultra processed foods, that's just one story. Vitamin, nutrient deficiencies. Do you want to go to ketogenic diet? You asked me about that and I got sidetracked.

The quick summary story for people who don't know ketogenic. So ketogenic diet is a 100-year-old evidence-based treatment for epilepsy. It can stop seizures even when medications fail to. We have... over a dozen controlled trials of ketogenic diets in children, in particular with treatment-resistant epilepsy. We have two Cochrane reviews that came out positive.

So Cochrane reviews are the gold standard in the medical field for meta-analyses, very rigorous, and they analyzed the data that exists and came to the conclusion that ketogenic diet, if somebody has treatment-resistant epilepsy,

Compared to treatment as usual, which is try another anti-epileptic medication, the ketogenic diet is six times more likely to result in seizure freedom than just trying yet another epilepsy pill. So the ketogenic diet is a powerful anticonvulsant treatment. We use anticonvulsant treatments in psychiatry every day in tens of millions of people. Lots of these medications are used.

So at this point, we now have... Over 50 published pilot trials, case series, case reports, other lines of evidence of the ketogenic diet for psychiatric disorders, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety. anorexia nervosa, surprisingly. These 50 reports represent over 1,900 people.

And on balance, the ketogenic diet appears to be an effective treatment, sometimes an extraordinarily effective treatment, like able to induce remission of schizophrenia or bipolar. in people who otherwise had treatment-resistant disorders. And they're going off medication simultaneously? Some of them are.
