In this podcast episode, epileptologists Aatif Husain, MD, and John Stern, MD, have a conversation about rescue therapies and how they fit into the spectrum of epilepsy management. Their discussion begins with sharing what they consider the utility of rescue therapies to be in the overall spectrum of epilepsy. As the conversation goes on, they address the role of rescue therapies in more specific patient populations, such as the newly diagnosed patient, a patient experiencing seizure clusters, and patients who may be experiencing either very few or relatively many breakthrough seizure events. In all scenarios, the experts relate the use of rescue therapies as “insurance”—hoping that the agents don't have to be used, but having them available as coverage in the worst-case scenario. The podcast goes on to discuss rescue therapies in terms of available routes and mechanisms of action and practical strategies for talking to patients about these agents. Rounding out the episode, Drs Husain and Stern express their hopes for future developments in epilepsy management.Presenters:Aatif Husain, MDProfessorDivision of Epilepsy, Sleep and Clinical NeurophysiologyDepartment of NeurologyDuke University Medical CenterDurham, North CarolinaJohn Stern, MDProfessorNeurologyGeffen School of Medicine, UCLADirectorEpilepsy Clinical ProgramUCLA Department of NeurologyLos Angeles, CaliforniaThis content is based on a CE/CME program supported by an independent educational grant from Neurelis, Inc.For additional activities in this program, visit https://bit.ly/3GiLlu4.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Nutrition and mental health interact intimately and even causally in some casesProcessed foods rich in fat, carbohydrates, and sugar are the worst for metabolic health and mental healthInsulin resistance is impaired in people with chronic mental disordersA ketogenic diet has shown beneficial effects in the treatment of chronic depression, PTSD, Alzheimer's, alcohol use disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, epilepsyThe beauty of the ketogenic diet for intervention is you can measure with objective biomarkers“Once you understand the science of mitochondria, you can actually connect all the dots of the mental health puzzle.” – Dr. Chris PalmerCalorie restriction, ketogenic diet, and carbohydrate restriction are inducing metabolic changes in the brain and body that can be beneficial to brain health – it's not just about villainizing sugar or carbohydrates aloneJust like medication, dose the diet: for some people, symptoms can be reduced without fully being on a ketogenic diet; just cutting highly processed foods rich in carbohydrates, fat, and sugar is sufficientThe obesity epidemic is really a mystery though we want to believe it's diet; it's not as simple as energy balance or food – we had junk food and highly processed diets in the 70s – it's likely mitochondrial health deficits Sleep disruption, stress, trauma, drug and alcohol use, tobacco, and THC impair mitochondria and mitochondrial dysfunction“I see obesity as a symptom of metabolic derangement in the body or brain…and if we're really going to get anywhere we need to identify what is causing metabolic derangement.” – Dr. Chris PalmerExogenous ketones or supplementing with ketones while on a standard diet isn't enough The ketogenic diet isn't just about ketones, people on the diet are also lowering glucose levels, improving insulin signaling, ramping up mitochondrial biogenesis (particularly in the liver), gut microbiome changes, hormones are repaired, etc.  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest this episode is Chris Palmer, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He explains the important connection between nutrition, metabolism and mental health and his pioneering work using the ketogenic diet to successfully treat patients with various mental illnesses, including depression and schizophrenia. Dr. Palmer explains how the ketogenic diet is an evidenced-based treatment for epilepsy, mimics the fasted state and can offset the cognitive decline in Alzheimer's. He describes the key roles of mitochondria in mental health, how certain conditions likely arise from mitochondrial dysfunction, and how low-carbohydrate diets increase mitochondrial turnover to improve mental health. He also explains how low-carbohydrate diets positively impact the gut microbiome and weight loss, important risk factors for mitochondrial health such as marijuana and alcohol, and the best way to increase circulating ketones depending on individual needs.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Nutrition and mental health interact intimately and even causally in some casesProcessed foods rich in fat, carbohydrates, and sugar are the worst for metabolic health and mental healthInsulin resistance is impaired in people with chronic mental disordersA ketogenic diet has shown beneficial effects in the treatment of chronic depression, PTSD, Alzheimer's, alcohol use disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, epilepsyThe beauty of the ketogenic diet for intervention is you can measure with objective biomarkers“Once you understand the science of mitochondria, you can actually connect all the dots of the mental health puzzle.” – Dr. Chris PalmerCalorie restriction, ketogenic diet, and carbohydrate restriction are inducing metabolic changes in the brain and body that can be beneficial to brain health – it's not just about villainizing sugar or carbohydrates aloneJust like medication, dose the diet: for some people, symptoms can be reduced without fully being on a ketogenic diet; just cutting highly processed foods rich in carbohydrates, fat, and sugar is sufficientThe obesity epidemic is really a mystery though we want to believe it's diet; it's not as simple as energy balance or food – we had junk food and highly processed diets in the 70s – it's likely mitochondrial health deficits Sleep disruption, stress, trauma, drug and alcohol use, tobacco, and THC impair mitochondria and mitochondrial dysfunction“I see obesity as a symptom of metabolic derangement in the body or brain…and if we're really going to get anywhere we need to identify what is causing metabolic derangement.” – Dr. Chris PalmerExogenous ketones or supplementing with ketones while on a standard diet isn't enough The ketogenic diet isn't just about ketones, people on the diet are also lowering glucose levels, improving insulin signaling, ramping up mitochondrial biogenesis (particularly in the liver), gut microbiome changes, hormones are repaired, etc.  Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guest this episode is Chris Palmer, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist and assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He explains the important connection between nutrition, metabolism and mental health and his pioneering work using the ketogenic diet to successfully treat patients with various mental illnesses, including depression and schizophrenia. Dr. Palmer explains how the ketogenic diet is an evidenced-based treatment for epilepsy, mimics the fasted state and can offset the cognitive decline in Alzheimer's. He describes the key roles of mitochondria in mental health, how certain conditions likely arise from mitochondrial dysfunction, and how low-carbohydrate diets increase mitochondrial turnover to improve mental health. He also explains how low-carbohydrate diets positively impact the gut microbiome and weight loss, important risk factors for mitochondrial health such as marijuana and alcohol, and the best way to increase circulating ketones depending on individual needs. We also cover how a ketogenic diet impacts mood, sleep, and fertility.

The doctor coldly asks her to google it.07:40: Jay and Eric discuss how some people don’t understand or communicate with you about your pain during tough times. Eric shares a personal experience about how he felt when doctors don’t show any empathy.09:54: Jay points out mental health crisis is not just for the parents or children; doctors also deal with the same situation. There should be an awareness about the same.13:23: Hermione had a 10% chance of survival when she was born. Autumn discusses the privileges that they got from the government and family members.14:54: Eric puts an important question “What are the options available to those people who don’t have such kind of privileges?”16:58: Jay stresses that the issue should be addressed so that, privileged or not, no child should be left out to get proper care and service.17:56: Autumn shares about Hermione’s seizures; at times, they were for 2 hours.19.24: Autumn confesses that before this tragic incident, she had no idea about Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).22:30: Autumn takes the listeners to an emotional ride when she narrates Hermione’s last moments.25:01: Jay respected the fact that Autumn did not put Hermione under heavy medication but instead tried her best to give her a normal childhood.28:27: Eric talks about his personal experience with epilepsy and how he jokes about it.32:18: Autumn jokes about how her other two kids took things lightly and made seizure faces.35:20: To help parents who have special needs children, Autumn points out that it is essential to talk about it. There is nothing to be afraid of about it.37:24: Funding is also missing for special needs child welfare.48:00: Eric and Jay discuss that “The importance of discussing how it feels to go back to the house post a tragic loss. This discussion is something that has to happen.”49:32: Jay talks about the importance of meditation.53:57: Family with special needs child tends to isolate from the society, it is important to invite them and make them feel welcome.55:15: Jay asks, “Do you think society is becoming more understanding towards special needs children?”58.31: Jay and Eric motivate Autumn and appreciates that she talks about Hermione. They acknowledge that she is making a change.59:55: Jay points out that the entire situation is more about miscommunication; hence it is crucial to talk about it.01:01:06: Autumns stresses that she is not ashamed to talk about Hermione or her disability.3 Key Points:Autumn knows about life with and without a child with a disability, and she shares how life was like Hermione.Autumn explains the difference between controlled and uncontrolled seizures. She also shares about the percentage of survival. Autumn shares the challenges she faced as a single mom of 3 kids and how society, friends, family, or neighbors can help take the pressure off.Resources Mentioned:www.c22c.org | https://www.purpleday.org/C22C Videohttps://autumnkaren.compurpleday.org

Associate Professor Chris Reid was working as a hospital pharmacist when he saw a series of patients in a neurological ward who were not treatable. “I thought well I can only do so much as a pharmacist. I would like to actually do something at a more fundamental level,” says Associate Professor Reid, Principal Research Fellow, member of Faculty and Head of the Neurophysiology of Excitable Networks Laboratory at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health. “I’ve been very fortunate to be part of the genetic revolution which was started by Professor Sam Berkovic and Professor Ingrid Scheffer from the University of Melbourne. I joined Professor Steve Petrou’s lab at a time when that was very new. “Things have moved incredibly quickly over the last 25 years, which is when the first epilepsy gene was discovered, to a point now where gene therapy is becoming a reality.” Associate Professor Reid is currently developing a new treatment for epilepsy. His research project is part of BioCurate, an independently-operated venture catalyst jointly formed by the University of Melbourne and Monash University. “We do need alternative approaches as well – which is really the program that I’ve been driving with BioCurate. What we’ve done is actually identified a channel in the brain that’s in a hotspot that causes seizure generalisation. That’s when seizures cause the big tonic-clonic seizure that we mostly associate with epilepsy,” says Associate Professor Reid. “We have a small molecule program to design drugs to that target with the view of treating a larger population of epilepsy people. So it’s a two-pronged approach, both of which have their risks, but both of which are moving forward particularly well.” Episode recorded: August 6, 2020. Interviewer: Dr Andi Horvath.
