The human body was never designed for the sugar and carb consumption levels common to many diets.
Beans are our common carb. They have a GI in the 30s. A GI below 55 is good. Below 40 is great.

this article on tbi and Keto talks about ketones as a fuel source and the benefits. Many of the items discussed I've heard Dom Dagostino mention in his podcast about the glut3 transponder being damaged in patients with TBI and is a cause of neuro-inflammation.

I'm seeing doctors right now at Mayo and getting imagine done but will be starting Keto in the next month and post results. My headaches and brain fog/head pressure are horrible so will be good barometer for anyone else who has this as their main symptoms.
