Brain Energy Metabolism
Dominic explains how the brain's metabolic flexibility can be exploited through nutritional ketosis, which alters brain energy metabolism and the neuropharmacology of the brain. The elevated enzyme, glutamic acid decarboxylase, and the shift in pathways in favor of more glutamate to GABA, can help stabilize the cell membrane and neuronal activity in general. Ketones can readily cross the blood-brain barrier up to six or seven millimolar, which can help with neurological disorders.In this clip
