Ally Houston - Metabolic Mental Health - (Ancestral Health Today Episode 037)
On this episode of Ancestral Health Today we welcome Ally Houston. Ally was trained as a physicist but switched to researching ketogenic diets in 2016, and started a paleo and keto food business in 2017, then health coaching in 2021. He and Dr. Rachel Brown started MetPsy in late 2022.
He was ill from childhood, struggling with weight, anxiety, seasonal depression, and ADHD. He was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult in 2015 when all symptoms were at their worst. The drugs helped a little but they wore off, and he was disillusioned again. He had started a physics PhD at the time and was underperforming. However, his professor, Ken Strain, noticed that he wasn't performing well. He had healed his MECFS using a ketogenic diet - he went from being told he'd never work again to running 10k in six months on keto. He showed Ally where to read about this and Ally decided to have a go, in March 2016. Within weeks many problems had cleared up. Ally has spent the time since trying to understand all he can about why this worked for him, and so many others.
At the time, there was no ecosystem for metabolic mental health. Dr. Georgia Ede was one of the only voices on this in 2016. When Baszucki Group came into the field and stimulated the research in the area in 2022, Ally and Dr. Brown decided it was time to start MetPsy.
Next year in Oxford, Ally will be leading a study on ketogenic diet plus MetPsy for ADHD with depression. He'd like to focus on the crowdfunding campaign for this. Baszucki Group will very kindly be matching the first £10,000 in donations. If you are interested in donating and following along, go to bit.ly/adhdketo . Ally also provides mental health coaching at metpsy.com . Ally is also the host of the "Ally Houston Transforms Podcast"
We hope you enjoy this episode.

    🎯 Key points for quick navigation: 00:44 *🧂 Different dietary contexts like ketogenic and carnivore diets influence salt needs differently.* 03:01 *🔄 High salt intake is controversial; ketogenic diets now argue for its benefits.* 05:36 *🥤 Misconceptions about salt causing obesity are based on outdated beliefs.* 09:00 *🌍 Historical and geographical variations show diverse salt intake across cultures.* 13:36 *🍽️ Ketogenic diet advocates recommend increased salt intake for adaptation.* 16:09 *📉 Sodium excretion during fasting differs significantly from a low salt diet.* 20:22 *🧬 Evolutionary perspective suggests human adaptation to varying sodium levels over time.* 23:18 *🥤 Fasting without water increases fat burning significantly in some animals, suggesting potential benefits for fasting humans.* 24:30 *🧂 High salt intake may not increase thirst but can promote fat and protein breakdown, leading to increased metabolic water production.* 25:52 *🚰 Sweating in athletics may increase salt needs due to hypotonic sweat, affecting electrolyte balance differently than commonly believed.* 26:20 *🥩 The historical influences of Arctic explorers and carnivore diet advocates like Vilhjalmur Stefansson and Inuit lifestyles shaped early perceptions on salt avoidance in the carnivore community.* 28:13 *🧂 Individual salt needs vary widely; some feel better with high salt intake, while others benefit from low-salt diets.* 29:21 *🌍 Salt intake varies across cultures and diets, with implications for understanding dietary needs and practices worldwide.* Made with HARPA AI
