Elena Gross: 我从14岁起就遭受严重的偏头痛折磨，这直接促使我投身神经科学研究，致力于寻找有效的偏头痛治疗方法。我的偏头痛非常剧烈，对光、声音和气味都极其敏感。我尝试过各种治疗方法，包括药物治疗和替代疗法，但收效甚微。在攻读博士学位期间，我偶然发现禁食模仿饮食对癫痫患者有效，这启发我研究酮类饮食对偏头痛的影响。我发现酮类饮食显著改善了我的偏头痛症状，但严格的酮类饮食会对身体造成一些负面影响。因此，我开发了一种医疗食品Brain Ritual，它包含外源性酮体和多种微量营养素，可以帮助改善大脑能量代谢，从而缓解偏头痛。Brain Ritual的服用方法取决于个人的胃肠道耐受性，可以空腹服用，也可以在饭后服用。目前尚不清楚外源性酮体与碳水化合物的最佳摄入比例，以及最佳服用时间。我建议在服用外源性酮体时，搭配低血糖指数的全食物饮食。我个人需要每天服用Brain Ritual来控制偏头痛，但持续服用两年半后，我的身体已经适应了，不需要每天都服用。Brain Ritual的最佳服用方案因人而异，需要根据个人的耐受性和反应进行调整。许多使用者需要逐渐增加Brain Ritual的服用量，以适应其成分。许多人需要时间来适应外源性酮体，因为他们的身体可能多年没有接触过酮体。Brain Ritual适用于代谢性偏头痛患者，但不适用于所有偏头痛患者，例如激素性偏头痛患者。患有某些疾病，例如I型糖尿病、先天性代谢疾病或严重肾衰竭的患者不应服用Brain Ritual。服用Brain Ritual前，建议咨询医生，特别是对于正在服用其他药物的患者。Brain Ritual中的成分是人体自身可以利用的，因此对肝脏负担较小。高浓度的酮体可能会抑制内源性酮体的产生，但Brain Ritual的剂量不会产生这种影响。外源性酮体很难过量，安全性较高。大多数偏头痛患者需要两到三周的时间才能感受到Brain Ritual的效果。Brain Ritual可能对癌症患者有一定的益处，但不能作为单一疗法。酮体与葡萄糖在细胞内的吸收和代谢存在竞争，酮体优先被大脑利用。酮体可以抑制肝脏的糖异生作用，从而降低血糖水平。对于健康人群，建议在每餐都摄入少量酮体，以保持代谢灵活性。保持代谢灵活性对健康至关重要，这可以通过周期性地摄入酮体和碳水化合物来实现。 Richard Jacobs: 作为访谈者，Richard Jacobs主要负责引导话题，提出问题，并对Elena Gross的回答进行总结和补充。
