Dr. Dominic D'Agostino: Fasting and Oxygen Toxicity Seizures

What is it about fasting, ketones, and brain energy metabolism that can help prevent seizures in extreme environments? At Metabolic Health Summit 2020, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, PhD, discussed the application of therapeutic ketosis for its anti-seizure effect in the particular case of central nervous system oxygen toxicity (CNS-OT). CNS-OT seizures are a limitation of both hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and scuba diving, particularly among divers using closed-circuit rebreathers, such as Navy SEAL divers. Dr. D’Agostino is a Neuroscientist and Associate Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida. Part of his research is studying the effects of high-oxygen environments at the cellular and whole-animal levels. His lab uses advanced technologies that can simulate Navy SEAL dives, which allows for a deeper understanding of the biochemical and physiological effects of CNS-OT seizures, in addition to investigating the anti-seizure effects of both ketogenic diets and exogenous ketones.
