And this brings us back to the value of the human experience.

You know for yourself if you change your diet and it changes your life, like you have vitality you haven't had in like 20 years and your symptoms, inflammation, right, is gone and you have clarity of mind you've never had.

I've met several people now who've had this kind of life-changing energetic shift happen when they go on a ketogenic diet and when they install intermittent fasting.

Life-changing shit.

So they know that this is real, right?

And then you do an RCT.

Randomized control trial.

Yeah, thank you.

You do a randomized clinical trial.

And then what you do there is you feed everyone the same thing, ketogenic diet or standard Mediterranean diet or whatever diet as usual.

And then people are on this diet for X amount of time, 12 weeks.

And then at the end, you compare whatever outcome you determined you decided was the right outcome.

And then you have, let's say, 50 people here, 50 people here.

And then you ask, did the ketogenic diet improve mental health?

Or did it reduce inflammation?

Or did it do that?

And then often in RCTs for dietary interventions or drugs, what you find is

Not really.

Maybe a little bit, right?

And then if the study was adequately powered and there's like an 8% shift in your primary outcome, then it becomes P less than 0.05.
