0:04 Are ketones normal for a baby?
0:25 Ketones are not meant to be an alternative fuel 
0:37 Babies brain development 
1:52 Babies on formula vs. breastmilk 
2:32 If we started out on ketones, why would we change anything?

In this video, we’re going to talk about why babies thrive on keto. 

When a woman is pregnant, especially during the last trimester, 30% of all of the energy fed to that baby is from ketones. Once the baby is born, for the first two hours, they’re running off of lactate. But, after that, they convert to ketones again.

Ketones are not meant to be an alternative fuel. In fact, breast milk is loaded with MCT fats, which then turn into ketones. 

A baby’s brain makes up between 11-12% of their entire body weight, as compared to an adult brain, which only makes up 2% of the weight. With a newborn, 75% of all of the energy used is for the brain. An adult uses 20-25% of energy for the brain. 

Ketones not only provide a good amount of fuel for an infant’s brain, but they also provide the building blocks for the lipids of the infant’s brain. Ketones also supply the brain with 90% of the carbon to make the white matter. 

Babies are born with extra fat because that fat can help supply more ketones. But, formulas are like giving a baby a high carb diet. The glucose and carbohydrates will prevent the ketones from being used as fuel. Consider trying to breastfeed as long as possible. In the process, make sure you’re eating foods with all of the ket nutrients. That way, the child has the best chance of optimizing their IQ, bone formation, the reduction of risk of different diseases, and their longevity. 

If we started out on ketones, why would we want to go to a high carb diet?

0:06 How does cryotherapy work?
0:36 The genes that you activate
1:32 Cryotherapy benefits

In this video, we’re going to talk about the incredible benefits of cryotherapy. 

Since the Stone Age, our bodies have adapted to various things like starvation and freezing. A little bit of freezing occasionally is very beneficial to your body. It creates something called the hormetic effect. It induces a small amount of stress to make your body stronger. 

There are certain genes, proteins, and enzymes that become activated when you put yourself in colder temperatures. You can use a cryotherapy chamber to get this effect, or just take a cold shower. 

Cryotherapy:
• Increases satellite cells (turns into a muscle cell)
• Increases kinases cells 
• Suppresses certain genes that regulate inflammation 
• Increases mitochondria

The 10 benefits of cryotherapy:

1. Decrease muscle soreness and repair muscle damage
2. Improves the immune system 
3. Decreases inflammation
4. Increases mood
5. Promotes better sleep
6. Improves metabolism 
7. Increases the antioxidant network
8. Fights oxidative stress
9. Improves herniated discs 
10. Decreases pain/spasm

0:08 Should you eat only vegetables or only meat?
0:15 What people ate 780,000 years ago
1:13 Vitamin C 
1:28 Digestion 
2:47 Vitamin B12
2:55 Omega 3 
3:26 The summary 

In this video, I’m going to talk about the paleo diet. People have asked me whether or not they should be more of a vegan or carnivore. I personally believe you should consume a diet with a combination of plants and animal products.

Several archeologists found direct evidence at a site in northern Israel of what people ate 780,000 years ago. It was a combination of plants and animals. In other places around the world, people would eat pretty much whatever they could get. 

Based on this article, the archeologists found that these humans ate a large range of plants, including:

• Thistle seed
• Water lilies 
• Acorns 
• Water chestnuts
• Olives 
• Some fruit (Fruit was very different then, it was much less sweet and was seasonal.)

These humans also consumed:

• Elephant brains 
• Whole animals 
• Insects

A few interesting points: 

• A lot of animals can make their own vitamin C, whereas humans can’t. Humans are dependent on food to get vitamin C. Vitamin C also comes from plants. 

• If you look at the structure and function of our digestive system, you can see that we need both animal and plant type foods. 

• B12 mainly comes from animal products indicating that we need animal products.

• Humans also need omega 3 fatty acids, primarily DHA and EPA, which mainly come from fish. 

I believe it’s best to consume foods that satisfy the body’s nutritional requirements. That’s why I think a balance of both animal products and plants is a good combination.
