What he discovered was a community of medical experts, thought leaders, and regular folks gathered around the keto diet: a much-reviled “fad diet” that is in fact a proven, 100-year old medical treatment for epilepsy and other brain disorders.In this book you’ll learn: How current dietary guidelines don’t serve the health needs of most Americans. To embrace food and lifestyle choices as part of an empowered, health-oriented lifestyle. To advocate and think outside the box for medical treatment. By interviewing the top authorities in the field, along with regular people who are using diet and lifestyle to improve their health, Robinson discovers a set of principles that anyone can use to maximize their wellness and live their best lives.Note: Please seek the advice of your doctor before making any changes to your diet. Review "Where do you find humor in epilepsy? In My Unremarkable Brain David Robinson has shown the way. Interspersed with his own personal experience with epilepsy and the ketogenic diet is much of the history, science, medical opinion, anecdotes and-some very much appreciated laughs. I would say that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, but that would seem wildly inappropriate." Jim Abrahams, Co-Director Airplane! Director The Charlie Foundation For Ketogenic Therapies "Warm and engaging... funny and inspiring, My Unremarkable Brain takes the latest research in nutrition and brain health and makes it relatable for the average reader with real-life stories and examples. The world needs this book!" Anna Vocino, Author Eat Happy and Eat Happy, Too "With wit and determination, David Robinson takes readers on a deeply personal journey into the 'diet-industrial complex.' Along the way, he explores the fascinating truths and pervasive myths around food and health, and offers hope for anyone living with a disorder or chronic disease." Nina Teicholz, Author The Big Fat Surprise
