In this Metabolic Mailbag episode, Dr. Bret Scher and producer Erica Gerard answer viewer questions about ketogenic therapy, type 1 diabetes, Parkinson’s medications, omega-3s, fasting, protein intake, metabolic rate, and why some protein foods are more filling than others. They cover: The association between type 1 diabetes and serious mental illness Why ketogenic therapy may be possible for some people living with type 1 diabetes, but only with careful medical supervision How Parkinson’s medications can interact with protein timing Whether cooking salmon changes the benefits of omega-3 fats How intermittent fasting can affect protein intake and ketone levels Why MCT oil in coffee may change the meaning of a “fast” What basal metabolic rate means and how ketogenic diets may affect it Why a protein shake may feel less satisfying than meat, even with the same grams of protein From medication timing to protein needs, this episode explores why metabolic therapies work best when they are personalized, measured, and guided by the realities of each person’s health goals and daily life. 🔎 Have questions about how to apply metabolic therapies effectively?
