After providing an overview of the environmental and dietary influences that affect
brain function
in Part I,
in Part II the book, Dr. Hyman takes us on a tour de force journey through the seven core systems — nutrition, hormones, immune function, digestion, detoxification,
energy metabolism, and mind - body — that not only deeply answers this question, but enables effective individualized treatment as each chapter opens with a quiz to help identify where the patient is out of balance.

energy metabolism and norephinephrine, while reducing the blood flow
in the
brain and decreasing serotonin levels.75
Because of these high
energy demands, Abolhassani et al (1) suggest that,
in the AD
brain, disturbances
in glucose
metabolism and mitochondrial function co-exist:
Aβ is believed to penetrate neuronal plasma membranes, where it leads to lipid peroxidation.10 It has also been implicated
in deactivating a subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, thereby inhibiting conversion of pyruvate to acetyl CoA and the eventual production of cellular
energy as ATP.32 Another way Aβ affects glucose
metabolism in the
brain is that fragments of Aβ disrupt insulin signaling by binding to neuronal synapses, which alters their shape and function.15, 38 Insulin receptors are abundant at synapses, so if the integrity of the synapse itself has been compromised, the receptors won't function effectively.
Energy metabolism and the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (very small molecules that can result
in significant damage to cell structures, of which include oxygen ions, free radicals and peroxides) are thought to underpin many nuerodegenerative disorders, and creatine is thought to enhance the
brains ability to survive the metabolic and physical trauma associated with these conditions.
It effects every tissue
in your body including the uterus, cervix, and vagina, the endocrine (hormonal) system,
brain cells, fat
metabolism, thyroid hormone function, water balance, peripheral nerve myelin sheath synthesis, bone cells,
energy production and thermogenesis, the immune system, survival and development of the embryo, and growth and development of the fetus.
The fundamental changes
in brain metabolism under ketogenic diet lead to increased
energy production and reduced radical formation.
Truth be told, our
brains can function on ketones, fat -
metabolism byproducts and key
energy sources
in low to very low carb diets, which some say may be even healthier yet for our noggins.
