Episode Notes
The conversation emphasizes the benefits of short-term ketosis for improving mitochondrial function and energy production, while also cautioning against long-term adherence to a ketogenic diet. Azadi stresses the importance of incorporating healthy carbohydrates to achieve metabolic flexibility and avoid potential negative impacts of prolonged ketosis. He also delves into the mitochondrial uncoupling process during ketosis, highlighting its unique role in increasing energy production while lowering free radicals.
Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Energy Levels
Mitochondria play a crucial role in energy production and overall health by detecting and responding to stressors in the body. Dysfunction in mitochondria has been linked to various diseases, highlighting the importance of maintaining mitochondrial health for optimal energy levels.
Short vs Long Term Ketosis
Short-term ketosis can improve mitochondrial function and energy production, promoting metabolic flexibility. However, long-term adherence to a ketogenic diet may have potential drawbacks, emphasizing the importance of incorporating healthy carbohydrates for overall health. Transitioning to a more flexible approach after a period of ketosis can help maintain optimal health and well-being.
The Benefits of Ketones
Ketones act as signaling molecules that communicate with mitochondria to promote the creation of new mitochondria, enhancing energy production. The production of ATP from ketones is significantly higher than from glucose, resulting in a 400% increase due to the creation of new mitochondria. This process, known as mitogenesis, upregulates the system and optimizes energy production.

Episode Notes
Dr. Clayton emphasized the need for removing specific foods known to contribute to inflammation and highlighted the benefits of following the AIP protocol for at least three to four weeks to support the body's healing process. Dr. Clayton also stressed the importance of addressing stress and emotional well-being, shedding light on comprehensive approaches to improving your overall health. This episode provides a wealth of information on the importance of an anti-inflammatory diet, the impact of mold toxins on the body, and the interconnectedness of the immune system, gut health, and stress response.
Discover the benefits of the Autoimmune Paleo Diet
 The autoimmune paleo (AIP) diet is specifically designed to reduce inflammation in the body and improve overall health by eliminating pro-inflammatory foods. Following the AIP protocol for a minimum of three to four weeks allows the body to heal and reduces inflammation significantly. This diet has shown promising results in individuals with autoimmune diseases seeking to improve their health through dietary changes.
Avoid anti-inflammatory foods
 Certain foods, such as wheat, corn, soy, dairy, eggs, shellfish, and nightshades, are known to contribute to inflammation and should be avoided in an anti-inflammatory diet like AIP. Nourishing herbs and gut-recovery protocols can aid in repairing the gut lining and addressing bacterial overgrowth. Removing these inflammatory foods and incorporating healing herbs can significantly reduce inflammation and improve overall health.
Learn effective strategies for overall health
 Stress management and emotional well-being play a crucial role in promoting overall health and reducing inflammation. Incorporating stress-reducing techniques like brain retraining and relaxation practices can help lower cortisol levels and support immune system recovery. By optimizing structural, chemical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of your life, you can live a vibrant and healthy life.
