Thank you so much for this video on treating Parkinson’s … my dear wife has kept her Ketones above 1.5 + through fasting and strict diet for last 8 months and the improvements have been a true miracle…. You gave me the love of my life back. If anyone is on the fence please try it … for us it’s been life changing.
Hello. I'm from Brazil and I need some help. I'm very familiar with the low carb diet and the ketone bodies, I've treated my grandmother's Alzheimer's for years with low carb diet and coconut oil with very good results. But now my father was diagnosed with parkisons, and I'm looking for these ketone esters, but I'm only finding BHB here in Brazil and I need to know if BHB would work exactly as D-BHB. Besides that, anything you can tell me how to do it right for parkisons I would very much appreciate. Thanks
Guys, HERE is The Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER (Genesis 1) HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
What a brave man, great interview. Thank you for bringing a voice to people like this. Fair play to him for making a change!! I have gone keto (well my own high fibre version) since may 8th 2023. I don’t have Parkinson’s but felt I was on a slippery slope to weight gain and physical break-down of “ageing” so I got going. Little did I know that it would TRANSFORM our lives, as in me, my oldest overweight son who lost all the weight and became a happy charming boy again from a moody angry boy, my second son, 14 who was transformed into non-moody happy spot and dandruff free guy, daughter who became nice! Second daughter who is more reasonable (she’s 11), and darling husband who lost all worry and work stress!!! We are a family transformed and feel armed for the white carb refined sugar future we were facing!! We do still have our food fun occasionally like xmas and birthdays etc, but honestly happiness and health are entirely possible!!! ❤🎉 we need more channels like yours, thank you!!
I know this was made long ago, but I am horrified that... I am involved as a participant of a large, long Parkinson's Study (I do not have the diagnosis). I regularly answer surveys that ask about everything from sleep to medications to exercise ... not ONE question about nutrition or diet.

That's because they don't want to cure Parkinson's disease or any disease for that matter. They want to understand how to better treat it with meds. Big pharma must make their billions no matter how many millions must suffer and die.
This is such an uplifting testimony and a life changer for all of to prevent PD, immune diseases even dementia. So grateful Keto helped William and that he’s sharing his success with us.
Profound thanks for this interview!! It gives me so much more hope for my family with PD & for my own brain health & longevity. 17 years & such vitality & impressive processing of the biochemistry involved with ageing, ketosis, protein folding, etc.! That's challenging for same-age & younger ppl with no health problems! And now an online site to discuss & disseminate this information - thank God!
Wow, is this man a science teacher? he looks as if he has our friend stumped with his true knowledge!.thank you for this video. God Bless you, your here for a reason sir, to spread your word and life story. Your very intelligent for a man who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's

Fascinating. Mike your interviews are top. You ask the right questions, you allow your guest to answer and explain. Very nice. Thank you for bringing your interviews to us.
My mom has had parkinsons for 13 yrs now. She has a major sweet tooth. I started noticing when she ate sweets, she would totally shut down. I have mentioned this to her docs and they said no it's not the suger, its protein. Thank you so much for putting this out here and thinking outside the box of the docs.
Manda Jo H All doctors will say this... I told my surgeon that sugar feeds cancer and he told me it was just a myth. That there is no scientific evidence. Well he’s wrong!! Sugar feeds the tumor. Maybe he’s more worried about his money!!!
@@Nascar4393 re: I told my surgeon that sugar feeds cancer and he told me it was just a myth 1) fire your surgeon 2) it because his jobs/livelihood depends sick patients. Sad..
I wish I knew about keto before , when my Dad had Parkinsons .No-one in the Medical profession told us about ketones . This information provision platform is priceless and the providers are helping people in a wonderful way ....thank you .
Mr Curtis knows more science than most scientists. Brilliant. And is able to explain the chemistry for the laymen. I will share with friends with PD. Some of us are taking NMN to increase NADH+ Recent research on this will probably help. Thank you for this!
This is insanely interesting! Bill is highly intelligent and I am so happy for him that he's found solutions to keep his Parkinson's from progressing. The younger guy who is interviewing him is kind.
My father suffers from Parkinson's and I am desperate to help. Not just for my father, but for my Mother who is his care giver. This is a ray of hope. Thanks so much.
My father too also suffers from Parkinson’s and I am looking al over for something like this. I am just starting. You have other insights on this diet as I am about to look into this?
Saeid Momtahan, the hardest part is I live half way across the country from my parents. I just spent 8 days with them trying to get his meds right and help them with nutrition. Unfortunately I think as soon as I leave they go back to cheap easy processed foods.
I've read that deep brain stimulation helps, but that's a pretty drastic costly surgical procedure. There's a thing called intra nasal photobiomodulation that doesn't require surgery but can still stimulate a deep region of the brain. It's not a therapy yet for Parkinsons, but one can do it for just general brain wellness.
Thank you Mike! I cried through most of this interview because my dad died of Parkinson's related issues a few years back. I cant tell you how he struggled. I just hope people will see this so it can help them at least cope. My dad also had Alzheimer's and I hate to say I was thankful sometimes because he could not remember how he suffered the day before. My dad died because he could not swallow anymore. I am intrested in this interview because it helps me be preventitive. I fast most days and eat low carb however I don't know if I am Keto because I eat vegies. I enjoy all your interviews so much!
Rhonda - I eat a lot of vegetables and my ketone levels are generally over 1.0 and most times closer to 2.5, and that's without MCT or other supplementation. Dr. Berg eats 7-10 cups of vegetables per day and he stays in ketosis. I found that the longer I stayed in ketosis the less vegetables kicked me out -- just my n=1.
Thank you so much You are so Educated about the parkinson , complexly different approach very impressive, Do please give the name of all You are taking; meds, supplements or nutritions you do take.What is Ketone Extra you are taking, and where to buy it,do please respond.
What an ahah moment!! I am diagnosed with LEMS. For years I have said that when I increase my exercise level, I am extra stiff the next day and Have terrible fatigue. I never considered that it could be lactic acid breakdown and increased blood sugar levels. Professionals tell me to keep exercising and it will improve. Every time I increase my exercise I feel terrible. Thank you !
My father was a neurologist. The only thing he was afraid of was Parkinson's. He never thought diet made a difference in neurological diseases and the recent developments in the last 10 years that are diet based is exciting. Wish my dad was here to see this. He would be amazed.
love this. And that's why patients know even more than their doctors. People want to learn the cause of it, treat the natural way more and not only treating symptoms with medication.
I sent this video to my cousin who has PD. I hope he watches and tries this method. I’m on a keto diet and doing really well. I just suffered a concussion so I’m please it can help that as well. Thank you, I have subscribed
This RU-vid video was sent to me by a friend. I’d already subscribed to the channel but missed this one. I was diagnosed last summer with PD with just mild symptoms and entered an Drug Research program. It pushed me from Stage One into Stage Two. I withdrew from the program and decided I needed to take responsibility for myself and this disease. I stumbled upon the Gut-Brain connection, started putting 2 and 2 together and started intermittent fasting with Bulletproof coffee and C8 MCT Oil. In 8 weeks I lost 20 pounds, down from 179 to 159. (I’m 5”8” and 66 years old). My symptoms have all but disappeared. I have a slight tremor on and off in my right thumb and my signature has returned to normal after 6 years. I take high doses of Magnesium Citrate for the leg cramps which have pretty much disappeared too and takes care of the constipation. I harvested stinging nettle roots, freeze dried them (I have a HarvestRight freeze dryer) then made a tincture out of it. I use an eye dropper full twice a day which solved the BPH prostate issues causing difficulty in urination. It suppresses the estrogen that causes BPH. The Germans use that over Flomax with no adverse side effects. Excellent video, now I need to find a Keto Dietician since this is too much for my wife to handle. This diagnosis has been harder on her than it has for me. Thanks so much!
That’s amazing! How are you doing now? My husband was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s and I’m desperately trying to find a way to show the progression without the levodopa.
Keto is pretty simple, it’s the old Atkins high protein , low carb way of eating. So u find the list of low carb veggies, like lettuce, celery, peppers, and many more veggies, and the protein is the primary food. Dr. Seyfried w/ Boston University is equally fascinating to listen to bc the same diet is what he and his team of scientists are using for the metabolic treatment and cure of advanced cancers. (They encourage fasting as well to starve the cancer.). He’s interviewed on many YT channels. What I wonder about re. The keto diet to heal PD is the intake of dairy. So expert advice is needed there, and I guess I better listen to this interview… got sidetracked w/ comments.
Im in England @ they need to get on board with this link .. we are so far behind ...i wish ....for keto to be taught on our NHS ..service gosh that would be great...my mum has dementia ...and i am at the age now when she started with it..a.i had major problems with my memory scared the life out of me ...I started Keto 5 weeks ago @ now my mind is super charged ..i imtermittant fast ..@ihave never felt better ....
I have lived with Parkinson's for almost 14 years. For the first 12 years I relied on meds only...no exercise and no diet strategy what so ever. I ballooned to 325lbs at 5'11" which made my balance and mobility problems more profound. I would be lucky to have the use of my legs for more than 3-4 hours per day. I decided that I wasn't going to simply lay in my recliner and give up. I started watching what I ate, and began exercising. After about a year and a half I have now lost 140lbs and counting. I have fine tuned my diet, including a keto approach and the introduction of mannitol. If you haven't done your research on mannitol, I suggest you look into it. This combination (keto & mannitol) has resulted in dramatic changes to my physical condition, and maybe more important, my outlook on life has drastically improved. And ask anyone who has the disease, the psychological fight is every bit as important as the physical fight PD wages on your body every day.
This is an awesome video and very inspiring. I also have Parkinsons due to agent orange exposure along with other medical issues. 3 years ago I had a cardiac event that put me in the hospital with a diagnosis of CAD. overweight and short of breath. At that point I decided that I had to make a change. I started walking early in the morning and eventually was up to speed walking 6 miles 5 days away. I started eating healthy and started losing weight . I decided to start zumba classes at 67 and now scheduled to become an zumba instructor. Last week I went to Costa Rica and was able to surf. Life is good. still exercising and eating right.
Your story is remarkable. My husband has Parkinson and is going down hill. The VA is now giving up to 30 percent disability for Navy that was in blue water. He is in process now applying. He had many symptoms. But still works on farm with our son. Will try get him listen to this video.
To oversimplified this,level 1: fasting 12 hours + bullet proof coffee. Level 2: low carbohydrate, low protein. Level 3: go total beserk on keto diet. Add esther ketone when weight lifting. Is it about right? More or less?
Amazing, what a blessing to us you are Mike! Thank you for finding these people and moving this information into our minds and hearts. May the Lord richly bless and multiply your efforts.
I'm liking your videos!! Mr. Curtis speaks like a chemist or molecular biologist, and if he is such it must be why he was intellectually able to dive deep into the science here, making it work in his life. Most people lack either the conviction, intelligence, or both to benefit from their own research.
Freaking amazing video... and holy guacamole at about 45 minutes in Mike he started to sound like you and I am so very impressed with him also... PS Mike I love your patience
We all should be. I fee like we should understand how something works before you use it Such as a computer but that usually isn’t the case Before you sit on a couch how was it built and could you rebuild it.
Jk, is that really all you have to say @ this incredibly helpful interview & what this man, not "guy", has been through, tested, observed & offers. At 17 years he's doing phenomenally well.
Thanks for your video! Can I suggest revising the statement "80 to 90% of your food as fat" since it gives some, who may not understand, the impression that a plate of food would appear to be 80-90% fat (rather than calories).
It's amazing seeing yet another testament to the power of diet! You should try getting Angela Stanton on the show. She advocates for a high fat low Carb diet to prevent Migraines! I just finished her book, "Fighting the Migraine epidemic" and she has a truly fascinating theory on the subject.
Losing body fat greatly reduces insulin resistance by reversing hyperinsulinemia. Eating the ketogenic diet reverses the hyperinsulemia cycle that ramps up when eating too many carbs. Not eating carbs & increasing fat intake burns truncal obesity & reverses fatty liver, which improves insulin sensitivity by reducing the fat storage.
Thank you for the link. It seems, they tried and know the benefits, but like usual, the false assumption keep them away to do it right. dehydration: is easy manageable low glucose: can only happen during adaptation kidney stones: don't overdo the proteins and add some lemon(juice) nutritional deficiencies: not existing if you eat veggies or add supplements
Solve the metabolic re:insulin resistance imbalances ..if PD is related to the varga nerve, then it is related to the gut, of course it will be influenced by diet ....been waiting for this video
When something like this drop into your lap like thiss run with it our doctor s don’t always have the answers because our DNA s are different what work for one person doesn’t work for another sounds like people with PD need to improve their microcondria and try nutrients because it’s seems the body is attacked from head to toe cause medication can’t always be the only solution I have a cousin who’s going through this and it hurts me to see her like this but some people are dead set on trusting their doctors I’m the kind of person if I’m on something and there’s no change I will make a change but that’s just me I’ve conquered diabetes and HP I did that on my own I suggest to everyone do your research learn as much as you possibly can knowledge truly is power we good luck people also prayer moves mountains!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m starting carnivore myself and noticing many benefits although I don’t have Parkinson’s. I have a step sister that does have advanced Parkinson’s that I will be passing this interview on to. Hoping she will be interested enough to try it.
Great video, I have been on and off keto for about 6 months as it is really hard to follow. I have pretty severe cervical dystonia, over the last few years it’s worked it’s way into my tongue. I’ve had this my whole life but it effecting my speech really makes life difficult. I do have better days and worse and thinking of the keto diet as a medicine I think will make it easier to follow. I get 600 iu of Botox in my neck and tongue at UNiversity of Florida movement disorder clinic every 8 weeks(that’s allot!). One thing I never do though is use caffeine or any type of stimulants. Doesn’t that very strong Bulletproof coffee make your tremors worse, or are you a lifelong coffee drinker and caffeine doesn’t effect you? I’m tempted to try it out if it will help me stay ketogenic longer. Another thing is according to Dr Rhonda Patrick, drinking coffee or anything but water kicks you out of Fasting, which would mean you would basically not be fasting(JRE podcast with her). Thanks for the video, very informative. Keep em coming.
Tom, there are many levels of benefits from fasting, a lot of contrary views on the topic, and a lot that we all yet have to learn about it. Dr. Patrick was of the view that taking even black coffee or tea (zero calories, but the caffeine needs to be metabolized) will potentially shut down autophagy, but having zero calories or even 100% fat (no carbs/protein whatsoever) in the morning would keep insulin and blood sugars low, and have other positive effects. So, it appears to be the case that water fasting alone may carry 100% of the benefits of fasting, while consuming other items (black coffee, bulletproof coffee, may provide some but not all of such benefits).
I fast 15 hours everyday, on an empty stomach. I cannot drink coffee or caffeine, I get nausea. As soon as I finish, I eat breakfast, salmon and bolied potato. I eat one meal and light meal a day. Low appetite, severe fatigue, constipation, nausea, lightheaded, depressed and anxious.
Can you interview someone with bi-polar or on a keto? My sister became disabled after her college vaccine and is on such high doses of drugs and shows signs of ataxia.
Your sister should try chelation first plus I’m guessing the keto diet could work as she gets rid of fat in her body, that’s where the chemicals from the vaccines hide. It’s certainly worth a try. Good luck to her.
Thank you so much for this encouraging testimonial! According to your recommendation l will charge my bullet proof coffee more, l used one tablespoon of butter and mct oil, now l will try your recipe. Thank you from the heart! Wishing you all the best, keep it rolllin‘🤗❤️
Thanks for this! It's comforting to see how much progress he's made. What do you recommend for butter alternatives in coffee? (My dairy allergy is pretty severe) Is just using the mct oil/coconut good enough? I would like to increase my fats but this seems to be my a biggest obstacle.
I do a lot of "bulletproof coffee" and for about a year I did coconut oil only in it to try to fix some gut issues. It worked fine for me, I just kind of got tired of coconut oil. You can also mix in some olive oil or avocado oil if you like the taste of it. Avocado oil can go rancid before you receive it so if you order/buy some and it tastes wrong, don't associate that taste with all avocado oil. The first time I bought avocado oil it was rancid and I thought that all avocado oil tasted like that. Not even close...
Have you tried coconut cream? My daughter is lactose intolerant so I make our own version of coffee creamer. I mix a can of full fat organic coconut cream, 3 tbsp MCT oil, 1 tbsp Ceylon cinnamon, 1 tbsp vanilla. Heat on stove over medium high, stirring constantly to get cinnamon to blend thoroughly. Cook to reduce and thicken for about 15 minutes, turn off heat, add 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, stir well to blend. Put in glass jar with a lid and cool, store in refridgerator, add to coffee to taste. We love it and it adds a little something to our coffee.
I'm doing keto and my elderly mum has Parkinson's but she's locked-in to her medications routine. She has to have breakfast, granola with cornflakes, to satisfy the tablet requirements - take with food. She loves chopped banana for tea, with greek yoghurt and honey. But she insists on cheap honey that's sugary. I'd love to enable her to reduce the sugary carbs.
Don’t know how this popped up, being that it’s a few years old-but I am so grateful I got to see it. I have a dear loved one with Parkinson’s, and am trying to learn all I can about the disease, in hopes of helping. ❤
Too clinically technical - needs to be distilled if possible, to functionally usable information for Parkinson’s patients. Among other things I heard that keto and exercise will work but too much exercise creates lactic acid which liver converts to glucose & throws you off again. Also too much protein is not good…More good fats.
Nice to hear this. I am from the Philippines, i have Parkinson disease since 2019 my only medicine prescribed is Levodopa no other means, but i am interested to know what is keto diet, i have not heard it in the Philippines. Thank you
Please research Dr. Berg in you tube, google and lots of Filipino are doing keto now. I am loving this lifestyle I’ve lost my indigestion, and my husband as well and his headache. My blood pressure are normal. Health are all good report from blood test. I wished I knew this 7 years ago cos my mum passed away from Parkinson’s and diabetes. I’m changing the history of my family background of diabetes, blood pressures, stroke and Parkinson’s and influence my kids to go low carbs/keto for a healthy happy life. Pls reply to this message that you are already doing low carbs too. Sending love ❤️ from Australia
I have 2 great friends with Parkinson's. I will share this with them. I was wondering about Keto and Parkinson's, but this is the first time I've seen a video on YT bringing the 2 together. Thanks.
I've always worried about my fillings, but I've had them in for about 32 yrs, with no symptoms of a neuro condition. I think I have 8. I've thought about having them removed, but I've heard that's risky too, and I'd probably have to foot the bill. How much was it for you?
Excellent information.. he talks about fasting in very short terms and ketone production dropping off as you get more fit. My question is what does longer term fasting (3,5,7 day and longer provide)if any?
