Join us as we explore the cutting-edge science behind Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) and their potential to rescue the energy-starved brain. Whether you are navigating Alzheimer’s disease, recovering from Long COVID, or simply looking to optimize mental clarity, this podcast breaks down how nutritional ketosis can serve as a vital alternative fuel source for your neurons.
In this series, we will uncover:
• The Energy Crisis: Why conditions like Alzheimer’s, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and even Long COVID are characterized by “glucose hypometabolism”—a state where the brain struggles to use sugar for energy. We explain how MCTs bypass this blockade by converting into ketones (like β-hydroxybutyrate), offering an immediate, alternative fuel source for mitochondria to generate ATP.
• Beyond Alzheimer’s: We examine the emerging hypothesis that MCT supplementation may help mitigate post-COVID-19 neurological symptoms, such as “brain fog” and fatigue, by refueling neurons and supporting mitochondrial repair. We also share compelling anecdotal evidence of recovery, including improved hearing and cognition in seniors.
• Not All Oils Are Created Equal: Discover why coconut oil is not the same as MCT oil. We review data showing that pure C8 (tricaprylin) induces a ketogenic response over 300% higher than coconut oil and significantly higher than C10 (tricaprin). We also discuss the unique benefits of C10, which may directly support mitochondrial function and inhibit seizure activity independent of ketone production.
• The Genetic Factor: Learn why your DNA matters. We analyze clinical trials suggesting that MCT supplementation may be most effective for individuals who are ApoE4-negative, reversing cognitive impairment in specific genetic populations.
• Practical Protocols: From avoiding “disaster pants” (gastrointestinal distress) to finding the right dose, we provide evidence-based tips for supplementation. We discuss why emulsifying MCTs or taking them without high-carbohydrate meals can maximize their brain-boosting effects.
