Did you know that the ketogenic diet was originally used to treat epilepsy in children? Being in ketosis provides an alternate fuel source to the brain in the form of ketones, which help the person maintain stable energy and experience fewer seizures. Epileptic patients who've gone keto have actually managed to cure themselves of the disease completely after being on the diet for a while. What's more, they can then return to a different way of eating without getting remissions. That's quite crazy and magnificent! Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast I’m your host Siim Land and today our guest is Michel Lundell. Michel is the founder and CEO of Ketonix, which is the leading ketone breath analyzing device in the world. He’s treating his own epilepsy with the ketogenic diet and is innovating the science of ketosis by helping people understand this mysterious metabolic state a lot better.  Timestamps: Why Michel Decided to Treat His Epilepsy with Keto 03:05 Different Ways of Measuring Ketosis 08:03 Difference Between Blood Ketones and Breath Ketones 19:25 What Michel is Eating for His Epilepsy 22:14 Why Does Ketosis Help with Epilepsy 31:42 How to Interpret Your Ketone Readings 36:50 And Much More...

When it comes to health, are you more motivated by the fear of getting sick or by the benefit of being vigorous and health? That's the difference between health optimization medicine and disease treatment medicine. The traditional medicine focuses solely on how to treat the sicknesses people have already got instead of thinking about how they could be prevented in the first place. They also try to fix the symptoms not the root causes of disease. Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast. I'm your host Siim Land and our guest today is Doctor Ted Achacoso. Doctor Ted is a health optimization doctor who experts in clinical metabolomics, chronobiology, epigenetics, neurointerventional radiology and so much more.

How does fasting affect your body in the long term? Are the health benefits of time restricted eating and fasting really true? Or is it just short-term rapid weight loss strategy? Welcome to the Body Mind Empowerment Podcast, I'm your host Siim Land and I've been doing intermittent fasting in some shape or form for 7 years. I haven't eaten breakfast for 7 years and based on conventional wisdom, I should be hospitalized. Yet, I feel stronger, healthier, more vibrant and youthful than ever before.  Intermittent fasting really is one of those things I wished I started sooner and it's one of those things I'm not planning to quit. Thanks to fasting, I feel confident enough to live a very long and robust life. In this episode, I'm going to walk you through how I started IF and what are the biggest lessons I've learned.
