At the start of the shut downs I signed up to a 6 month journey on AIP diet with the help of Dr. Cole.

I wanted to heal my leaky gut and try to get back to "normal" weight. I started out ay 220lbs 5'9" and age 65. I was able to get to 170 in 2 years on AIP. gradually starting back on one food item at a time to see how my gut reacted. After 2 trial runs at adding back foods, and in the middle of a 5 day water fast, I started gaining weight regardless of the fact I was in ketosis.

That freaked me out and combined with stressing over my daughters health issues, I just dumped the diet. I went back up to 205 and after listening to Jordan B. Peterson 's account of how he and his daughter conquered their serious health issues by eating only beef, water, salt.

So after deliberating for a while I decided to jump in. That was around Thanksgiving 2023. So far I've lost 24 pounds down to 176. I feel good, just trying to keep up with electrolytes as I am extremely fatigued and everything hurts if I don't consume enough Redmond salt and water.

I'm hoping to get my daughter on a very restrictive diet for her MS. We are in very different states right now. I'm planning to get her with me permanently. Because of her issues she cannot even cook for herself anymore. Her father (my ex) is with her most of the time. I truly think this will benefit her if she will trust my judgement. She has primary progressive MS with seizures the last 2 years (after 3 Moderna vaccines- against my advice).

Ketogenic diets can be particularly helpful for brain disorders like MS.

I'm very concerned that she began having seizures after getting 3 Moderna vaccines 2 years ago. Before that she was getting on pretty well, able to drive, care for her 6 year old daughter, cook, etc. Now she can do much of anything. Maybe wash clothes and do a bit of cleaning. Her father has basically moved in with her to help out. The seizures cause severe aphasia and memory loss. She's 40 and was diagnosed with MS age 26.
