I do it for weight management. I have heard Dr Fung talk about brain benefits, but more along the lines of preventing dementia. I値l listen again and report back if I have it wrong.

The most important thing I致e heard is a ketogenic diet has benefits for bipolar, just like it does for epilepsy. I found this fascinating because anticonvulsants treat both disorders.

Ketogenic or even just plain old Atkins diet is known for resolving seizures in children.

Fasting would operate on the same principle if you fast long enough to burn fat stores, and even better-go low carb between the fasts.
How do you find following the Keto diet when you池e unwell? Any tips?
I知 ok when I知 well but I知 constantly having an episode and I forget the principles and then forget how to actually do the diet. Takeaway then becomes the go to for dinner.

To clarify I do IF but on my eating days my Keto diet goes out the window when I知 unwell.
