Summary: When you hear the term keto you probably think of weight loss, but there are also many therapeutic and cognitive benefits of ketones. Today we have an amazing leader in the keto community, Eric Alber, who is a registered nurse and integrative holistic health expert. He is also a special needs parent and advocate for families with special needs children. One of Eric’s 5 daughters was born with a rare syndrome called Smith Magenis (SMS), which shifted his life and career path to finding solutions for his daughter and other families facing SMS. On this episode we discuss: - What Smith Magenis Syndrome is - How to find balance as a parent of a special needs child - Natural therapies for SMS - Biohacking cognitive disorders - Applying lifestyle medicine for epilepsy - Strategies for behavioral problems - Biohacking sleep - Exogenous ketones vs the keto diet - Therapeutic applications for ketones - Self-care for care takers - Innovative solutions for families with special needs children - Building communities for SMS families - And how to divorce yourself from expectations to live a more joyful life!
