Dominic D'Agostino

So I think it's going to open up a whole new field of research.

I think Steve and Jeff are keen to do that, along with Dominic D'Agostino and several others.

I'm going to end it up with, I think a lot of more trees are going to fall, but thanks to everybody in this room, I think people are going to start to listen.

They're going to be forced to.

I've never been to Vegas, but I'm super excited.

We've got Nadir Ali, Dr. Nadir Ali, Dr. Ben Bickman, Ph.D., Dr. David Diamond, Ph.D., Dr. Dominic D'Agostino.

I

always say his name wrong.

And we're not against it.

Dominic D'Agostino is our Paleolithic man in modern society.

He's from Florida.

He's a big shot.

So the majority of the lipid in, or, or the cholesterol in a lean mass hyper-responder with low insulin is coming from their diet and they're all eating a high amount of fat, or the majority of them are, coming from their diet, not production in the liver.

And Dom D'Agostino, who I certainly love and have tremendous respect for-

Absolutely

...

Um, There are many, at least theoretical reasons to think that ketogenic diets, um, will, uh, help with, uh, inflammation and cardiovascular disease.

Uh, we have the, uh, what has now been shown by Dom D'Agostino and others, uh, the anti-inflammatory cardio protective potentials of ketone bodies themselves.

So being in ketosis and having ketone bodies is probably anti-- it is anti-inflammatory and beneficial.

We have the anti-inflammatory and cardio protective effects of eliminating sugar, which I think, um, uh, we would all, uh, certainly agree with.

And in terms of craniotomies, it actually reduces the death rates from craniotomies and reduces the neurological harms post-surgery as well.

Dominic D'Agostino did a great meta-analysis on that.

But also, you know, this concept of benign, coming back to benign and malignant, I really dislike it because people think benign, there's no big deal, it's benign.

I mean, a benign lymphoma here that can actually crush your heart and stop it from working, not so benign if you ask me.

What happens when a brain is broken, and using a lot of that, you know, shock trauma kind of, um, framework and drive to want to understand how to c- heal a brain.

And as I was journeying through and doing well, 2012 hits and I h- or 2014 hits, and I hear an interview between Dom D'Agostino and Tim Ferriss, and they're talking about a protocol that they were using to heal brains for, um, divers in the Navy.

So Navy SEALs who were using non-rebreathers, and they were having seizures underwater because of the non-rebreather, and the non-rebreather doesn't let the little bubbles flow, so there's some, uh...

And it was that conversation mixed with the brain injuries from NASA, so astronauts.

I got kicked out, and I found a different way.

And, and then you find the, you know, the, the, the stray sheeps outside the flock because you do need a tribe in medicine.

I, I, I can remember the f- [laughs] in 2017, Dom D'Agostino had his first little, uh, conference for, um, research that was being done on the ketogenic diet.

It was at University of South Florida here in Tampa.

I'll show you my numbers next week.

probably next week when I get my labs done of what Zetia did, because Dom D'Agostino, some of the good researchers are taking it themselves when they saw their LDL and they go, you know, I don't think it's a badge of honor that like some people are like, if I get my LDL over 400, that's great.

I'm like, eh, we don't know that yet.

Especially if you have high triglycerides.
