Dr Paul Mason obtained his medical degree with honours from the University of Sydney, and also holds degrees in Physiotherapy and Occupational Health. He is a Specialist Sports Medicine and Exercise Physician.
Dr Mason developed an interest in low carbohydrate diets in 2011. Since then he has spent hundreds of hours reading and analysing the scientific literature. For a number of years Dr. Mason has been applying this knowledge in treating metabolic and arthritis patients who have achieved dramatic and sustained weight loss and reductions in joint pain.
Dr. Mason is also the Chief Medical Officer of Defeat Diabetes, Australia's first evidence-based and doctor-led program that focuses on the wide range of health benefits of a low carb lifestyle, particularly for those wanting to send into remission pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and other metabolic illnesses.

Wonderful insights Dr Paul.
24 seconds on youtube this pops up… thanks YouTube algorithms that be 馃檶馃悙

Intravenous Dimethyloxisuphate (DMSO) should be used right away when then concussion occurs. My husband had a concussion last year but I didn’t know about this amazing therapeutic at the time. It is best used intravenously, but putting the liquid on the head works too. With it, the brain doesn’t degenerate thru lack of oxygen due to brain bleeds. It preserves the brain. Luckily my husband had been on a carnivore diet for 3 years and the damage has been mitigated by this diet. It was a very deep inoperable bleed. He still has some issues but considering how bad the damage was and the fact he is 78 years old he is doing really well.
So glad … and

I only wish I’d known this forty years ago.
15:30 THANK YOU for mentioning those GI side effects from Coconut oil products! I thought I was just an outlier!
20:10 De novo lipogenesis is the clearance pathway for excess serum glucose. Insulin resistance is the diminished capacity for de novo lipogenesis. The common hypothesis of insulin resistance focuses on the wrong clearance pathway.
Ketones are trouble unless you introduce them very slowly.
Perhaps it would be better to fast intermittently.
Getting concussions should be avoided at all costs.
I boxed so got a few concussions but suffered no debilitating cognitive losses. Now I know why because I ate a high fat animal diet my whole life. I’m now 74 years old. Carnivore is the proper human diet.
Since I learned about the neuroprotective effects of ketones and their role in TBI I’ve had my ‘Brain injury protocol’. Which is basically every time myself of my kids have a meaningful head impact I’ll immediately eliminate carbs, give fishoil and MCT and if the impact is significant I’ll include some fasting.
I feel like I’ve even seen research that suggests the brain will make it’s own ketones (in astrocytes) in response to stroke or brain injury.
Its great to see a full presentation on the idea.
Fascinating talk. Dr Mason seemed to be (quite understandably) having to overcome some degree of visible frustration (20:45) with regards the continued and mistaken “blaming” of dietary saturated fats (by health professionals) as the cause of raised Palmitic Acid serum levels. Rational knowledge can so often result in “Banging head against brick wall Syndrome” (BHBW)…thus resulting in concussion!
My son had a concussion, I put him immediately on a ketogenic diet with MCT oil. Within two weeks he was fully recovered.
Awesome, juicy presentation. Thank you. 馃檹馃檹
Thanks Dr. Paul!
I’ve tried & still occasionally try to have conversations with friends that take meds for mental disabilities.
Until this information becomes mainstream treatment for them & their doctors start suggesting that diet & lifestyle can improve or reverse their conditions it seems futile to even try to have discussions anymore.
This is apparently going to take a very long time for the old paradigms to change.
Well-wishes
I had a TBI through a D/Violence assault 20 years ago & have suffered seizures ever since. I have tried keto but it did not stop them & I have been trying Carnivore for 2 – 3 months but that has not stopped them either.
Since it appears that some forms of long Covid can mimic a concussion would a dietary intervention be useful?
