I never thought I’d be able to get through a single day of OMAD. I did 4 days! Need to work a little more on electrolyte balance, but very happy with 4 days on the first run. 😁

We talked about insulin resistance at the time of a migraine, but many migraine sufferers also have issues with their blood sugar. Eating low carb or keto can help keep this balance in check.

Glutamate is a neurotransmitter, which can cause h

Glutamate is a neurotransmitter, which can cause headache and seizures. Those of us that suffer from migraine or epilepsy tend to have more glutamate. Too much glutamate promotes hyperexcitability and contributes to migraine. Interestingly, ketones block glutamate. More than this though, keto increases levels of GABA, which is the neurotransmitter that acts in opposition to glutamate, it has a calming effect, and can reduce migraine.

Interestingly, many of the medications used to treat epilepsy target and block glutamate. This is why those medications are also often used to treat migraine.

There is no denying that keto can be a restrictive

There is no denying that keto can be a restrictive diet. By nature of this, you will have removed some foods that are considered as some common migraine triggers. Basically, it could be the removal of specific foods that could make a positive impact, irrespective of if you are on keto or not. If you are not ready or can’t do keto, an elimination diet might be a good way to go.

We’ve talked about the gut brain connection quit

We’ve talked about the gut brain connection quite a big recently. Did you know that it is common for those with migraine to have increased gut issues? This likely links back to inflammation and leaky gut, or increased gut permeability, which keto can beneficially impact. Further though, keto can also help to normalise the gut microbial composition to a health level.

Have you tried keto? How did your gut health change?

Energy deficit refers to the ability of our body t

Energy deficit refers to the ability of our body to extract energy from the food we consume. In order to be used by our bodies, that food needs to be metabolised. If what we consume can't be metabolised properly, this will result in an energy deficit in our central nervous system. This causes irritation to our nerves, which could potentially bring on a migraine.

So, how does keto help with energy deficit? Our cells become insulin resistant or struggle considerably in processing insulin, before migraine onset, and during an attack. This means that if we eat a higher carb diet, our cells will not be nourished in the way that they need and this ultimately leads to the energy deficit. That said, I understand this to mean that the migraine might have already been in motion. The migraine was not necessarily caused by the energy deficit that relates to our inability to metabolise glucose in the carbohydrates, but it goes to show how eating higher carb before and during a migraine can impact our bodies ability to counteract it.

If we are in fact insulin resistant before and during a migraine, being on a keto diet provides our brain and body with an alternative fuel source, and this is crucial if we do have an impaired energy metabolism in the brain.

What’s your favourite thing about keto?

One of my favourite things is that hunger just feels different. It feels more genuine. It’s not like a desperate ‘hunger’ that it used to be. To be honest though, that’s probably because they were actually cravings, not true hunger at all. I don’t really crave specific foods like I used to. It feels, more than ever, like I’m treating food as fuel. Even when I am hungry, if I’m out or busy I can wait, because those cravings don’t consume me. I don’t find myself thinking about food all of the time.

Do you experience this too?

If you don't know the origins of the keto diet, you should know that its not just the latest fad diet. Its history stretches over 100 years and was originally used to stop seizures in people with epilepsy. This works because starving the body of glucose resulted in fewer seizures. This is called therapeutic keto. It’s important here because there are actually many similarities between migraine and epilepsy. Keto has gained renewed interest in recent years because of its potential benefits for numerous neurological disorders, such as migraine.

Think you can’t have avocado toast on keto? Think again.

Don’t think of keto as overly restrictive, think of positive modifications you can make so that you can still enjoy your favourite foods.

I’ve been using Macro Linseed & Sunflower Low Carb Loaf bread.

It does contains wheat gluten, which is the protein extracted from wheat, so not suitable if you are gluten free or are avoiding gluten. It is however affordable, widely available in Australia, and low carb at only 3.2g net carb for 2 slices.

AND of course delicious to satisfy that desire for avo toast.

Migraine is commonly associated with inflammation,

Migraine is commonly associated with inflammation, which interestingly could be a protective feature for our brain. It is thought that migraine might be the brain's attempt to restore balance.

Think about the reason we might have a fever; it's the bodies attempt to kill of the infection. Once the fever breaks, balance is restored. Remember though, both migraine and fever can be incredibly dangerous.

That aside, a lot of carbohydrates are naturally more inflammatory in our body. Ketones however are far less inflammatory, and this is one reason why keto could help to reduce migraine.

Now, I want to stress that not all carbs are bad, but we should be aware of how our bodies respond to different carb sources. We all have our own triggers. We all have our own limitations and tolerance levels. For example, what do you think is going to cause more inflammation, a bowl of low carb green vegetables or a sandwich?

Evidence shows that beetroot is beneficial for neurological health. Cool right! Why though?…They help to dilate blood vessels, which allows for better blood flow to the brain, and they also have anti-inflammatory properties too.

Beetroots high fibre content also means that it is a great prebiotic and will improve your gut health, and digestive system.

Want an athletic boost? Try beetroot juice!

Overall beetroot is a wonderful low carb vegetable, packed with vitamins and minerals with some impressive health benefits.

What do we know about parabiotics?

They’ve been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and a positive immune response.

It’s proven that Parabiotics improve sleep quality for people under stress.

It’s also been shown to alleviate IBS symptoms and help to normalise bowel habits.

It helps to prevent impaired barrier function in the gut which is great for those concerned about leaky gut.

There was one study that showed kids who took parabiotics had increased butyrate production, which is one of the best postbiotics for gut healing.

Another study showed that parabiotics alleviated anxiety and depression, again in individuals under stress. It is interesting that parabiotics could be used as a natural aid to alleviate anxiety, stress and depression symptoms.

There is increased focus on how parabiotics impacts cognitive function and neurological diseases because of the gut brain connection.

They are also showing positive effects on cholesterol reduction.

Why are parabiotics getting more popular?

Like postbiotics, parabiotics are considered safer to produce because they don’t need to be refrigerated, giving them a longer shelf life, they are easier and cheaper to transport and more practical for the user.

Keep an eye out, because you will soon see parabiotics getting added to functional food, medicine and supplements.

Need a butyrate boost? Foods high in pectin like apples might be your answer.

Apples help to increase microorganisms in your gut, in particular clostridiales and bacteroides, which help to strengthen the intestinal barrier and promote metabolism.

The reason why prebiotics and probiotics are encou

The reason why prebiotics and probiotics are encouraged, is to boost postbiotics. This means that the end goal IS postbiotics.

It’s always best to consume nutrients from food sources, but if you want to directly boost postbiotics, you’ll need to supplement. Ideally a supplement with butyrate. Unlike pre and probiotics though, research on postbiotics is relatively new, and many studies are currently in motion. That said there is some research that is starting to suggest that many of the health benefits we attribute to probiotics, may actually be the benefit from postbiotics.

If you choose to supplement it’s worth knowing the benefits of postbiotic supplementation over probiotic supplementation.

Probiotics are live microorganisms. Some people don’t tolerate probiotics well as it can cause mild stomach discomfort. This is not an issue with postbiotics as there is no live bacteria introduced to your system. Making it a better option if you do experience stomach discomfort, are immune compromised, have an immature immune system or if you have a leaky gut.

Therefore, “postbiotics could potentially be a way to send anti-inflammatory signals to the immune cells of your gut, without introducing bacteria,” says Jessica Blanchard, Registered Dietitian.

Nuts like almonds are a great prebiotic, which provide a boost of good bacteria in the gut and of course good for your overall health too.

The skin of the almonds is rich in fibre due to the presence of polyphenols - so keep those skins on!

That said, if you have trouble digesting them you may need to try soaking them or and/or consuming them without the skins.

Almonds are also a significant source of vitamin E and magnesium, and a bonus calcium boost.

What’s your favourite way to have almonds? Snack? Milk? Smoothie? Butter? Etc…

Grapes have been called out in a new clinical stud

Grapes have been called out in a new clinical study in the scientific journal, Nutrients, as playing a special role in maintaining good gut health. It was shown that grapes increase the diversity of bacteria in our gut, and promote overall balance of our intestinal flora. Not only are grapes packed with fibre (prebiotic), but they also contain polyphenols, which help to reduce inflammation.

The bulk of the nutrients from grapes are in their skins, so it’s probably no surprise that the dark red varieties pack an extra punch. Always wash them though as grapes are often on the dirty dozen list.

Are parabiotics as good as probiotics?

So, I hear you… if the cells are no longer alive (parabiotics), do they still provide us with the same benefits? Fortunately, research is indicating that they do. Recent studies have proved that bacterial viability (whether they are alive or not) is not a vital requirement for health benefit. Meaning both live and dead cells produce a biological response. This is called the ‘probiotic paradox’. It is likely explained by bioactive compounds that are released when bacterial cells dissolve in the digestive system.

Prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics are all vital for good gut health.

Postbiotic supplementation can provide a much needed boost to stimulate a healthy gut, particularly if you have leaky gut or are immune compromised. That said, if you are able to maintain good gut health without supplementation that is best. Even if you do choose to supplement though, it’s not like you can take it, forget about it and continue with a terrible diet. You need to feed the good bacteria to keep them thriving.

Supplements should always be consumed along with a healthy diet packed with prebiotic and probiotic foods.

Did you know that postbiotics lower ph levels making it more suitable for good bacteria to thrive… but at the same time, this environment prevents the growth of bad bacteria.

The bacterial fermentation of fibre in the gut creates short chain fatty acids, which are beneficial for things like maintaining the lining of our gut (which we’ve talked lots about recently), reducing gut inflammation, improving immunity, better sleep, reducing weight loss resistance, help with allergies, and much much more.

Looking for easy non-dairy probiotic foods to incorporate into your next meal?

Sauerkraut is mostly made of fermented cabbage and minimal other ingredients. It helps to promote a balanced gut and reduces inflammation. If you are looking to take advantage of the probiotic benefits, opt for unpasteurised because heat destroys the good bacteria. The best sauerkraut can be found in the fridge section. Be careful with this one if you have a histamine intolerance.

Kimchi is much like sauerkraut but can contain various other vegetables, herbs and stronger spices like chilli.

Through the food we put in our mouths and other li

Through the food we put in our mouths and other lifestyle factors, we control the health and diversity of the microorganisms that live in our gut.

This means that the food we eat is the main energy source for the growth of microorganisms. Much of that food our bodies can digest, however, our bodies cannot digest dietary fibre. Prebiotics are a form of dietary fibre. This means that when we consume foods high in dietary fibre, the fibre travels through the stomach undigested, until it reaches the large intestines where the microorganisms live. Microorganisms feast on this fibre.

Garlic is a fantastic prebiotic… raw garlic if you can, but cooked is still good. Garlic is a special one, it’s actually been shown to increase microorganism diversity in the gut.
