[00:00] Dr. Gundry Gives His Definition of Ketosis
Generating ketone bodies is done by free fatty acids entering the liver from circulation.
The liver can convert free fatty acids into ketone bodies.
Ketone bodies are short-chain fats that are water-soluble.
Ketones have a distinct benefit in getting to the brain, which free fatty acids can't because they're too big to get through the blood-brain barrier.

[03:50] Uncoupling To Survive: How The Mitochondria Release Pressure
Dr. Gundry recommends reading Uncoupling To Survive: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11053...
When you're starving to death, mitochondria have to save themselves at all costs.
Making energy is hard work; it’s very damaging to mitochondria.
Mitochondria have to have ways of protecting themselves, and one of the ways they protect themselves is to release pressure.
There are five pressure release valves for the mitochondria.
We couple oxygen and protons to make ATP. If we uncouple the burning of oxygen from making ATP, that’s how we release pressure.

[21:05] The Reason, Most People, Cannot Get Into Ketosis Right Away
Most people can not get into ketosis by following a high-fat diet because they lack metabolic flexibility.
Many people are insulin resistant. Their cells no longer listen to insulin, so insulin keeps rising and rising.
It can take three to four weeks to liberate fat from fat cells on a ketogenic diet because insulin levels stay high for so long.
The ketogenic diet came about to treat childhood epilepsy.
If you put kids on an MCT oil-based diet, with only about 50% of their calories coming from fat, they would get the same benefit as the full-blown ketogenic diet.

[38:40] Calorie Restriction Is A Non-Starter, and It Doesn’t Work
The best way to expand lifespan and health span is calorie restriction.
A study found that the animals with time-restricted eating lived 11% longer than the animals who ate the same amount of food but ate throughout the day.

[47:05] The Major Health Benefit of Taking MCT Oil or Powder
30% of sheep and goat dairy is MCT.
MCTs are an excellent fat that goes directly to our liver, where they are automatically converted into ketones.
You can have insulin resistance, take MCTs, and generate ketones.
A tablespoon of MCT oil will have you generating adequate amounts of ketones to begin uncoupling mitochondria.

[53:35] You Have Melatonin All Wrong: It May Have Nothing To Do With Sleep
Pistachios actually have the highest melatonin content of any food.
The Mediterranean diet gets melatonin from olive oil, red wine, and mushrooms.
Melatonin isn’t there to put you to sleep. Instead, it’s there to repair mitochondria.
Dr. Gundry has cancer patients on up to 100 milligrams a day of melatonin.
