Sometimes something so cool comes out I can't wait until a Live Brain Fog Recovery Program Lesson to share some of the scientific reasons for doing the program! So here it goes... 🧵
In a recent study on the diet-microbiome-gut-brain nexus in acute and chronic brain injury, findings have shown that the microbiome is affected by neurodegenerative conditions and brain injury states.
While the specific changes to the microbiomes of people suffering from different neurological disorders vary, there is a theme seen in both acute and chronic brain injury. And that theme is that pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria increase and beneficial flora becomes depleted.
What they don't bring into this article is the research showing ketogenic diets alter the gut microbiome in the exact OPPOSITE way this article just described. It increases beneficial flora and reduces pathogenic strains.
I am no microbiome expert. But it seems to be this could be another one of the many mechanistic ways that ketogenic diets improve TBI and possibly other neurological diseases. #TBI #microbiome #ketogenic

Before you put your adolescents on antidepressants, let's have you make sure they are getting all the basic micronutrients they need for their brains to work. You can absolutely initiate nutritional therapies and feel good about that decision. 🧵
There is an extensive evidence base to support its use. "In the study of 478 young adults, it was found that 100 mg of vitamin B6 per day over just one month significantly reduced anxiety with trends towards reducing depression."
