Dopamine, Serotonin, and the Keto Diet | Dr. Rubén Ancona Bolaños - E410

Dr. Rubén Ancona Bolaños is a Metabolic Health Practitioner from Mexico who has been having incredible success using ketogenic therapies to help his patients reclaim their metabolic health! He has a special interest in the interplay between diet, metabolic health, and hormones like dopamine and serotonin. From this episode… "One of my hypotheses is that insulin resistance could start at a young age — with dopamine resistance in the brain's reward center." "We need to stop seeing the body and the brain as separate—hormones affect the brain, and neurotransmitters affect the body." "Kids today are constantly hyper-stimulated, always releasing dopamine, which desensitizes their brain's reward system and raises their threshold for feeling pleasure."

In this episode, Drs. Tro and Rubén talk about…
