Mindsip insights from this episode:
Leverage ketone production to protect liver health
The production of ketones by your liver is not just for energy but also allows normal fat metabolism to function, culminating in less fat being pathologically stored.
Recognize ketones as signals of liver injury, not causes
Although higher ketone production is associated with more liver injury, this is likely a protective response from the liver, not the cause of the damage.
Utilize ketogenesis as a pressure release valve for liver health
Ketogenesis acts as a 'pressure release valve' for the liver to metabolize and deal with an influx of fat.
Avoid blocking ketones to prevent worsening fatty liver disease
When the liver's ability to produce ketones is removed, the amount of fat stored in the liver significantly increases, worsening fatty liver disease.
Utilize fasting to induce ketogenesis for liver protection
For those that do it, fasting is the most potent way to induce the necessary ketogenesis that protects the liver.
Prioritize liver production of ketones for optimal benefits
You cannot simply increase ketones through supplements to get these liver benefits; the protective mechanism is the liver's *production* of ketones itself.
Implement low-carb diet to reverse fatty liver disease
A very low carbohydrate diet that raises ketone levels may be uniquely potent at reversing fatty liver disease, possibly more so than just calorie restriction.
