Eat raw honey before bed.
In this monologue, Alicia Mackey Huber explains why consuming raw honey before sleep can be beneficial, especially for those following low‑carb or animal‑only (keto) diets. She notes that raw honey, unlike honey heated in water, preserves its natural properties and raises liver glycogen stores, which are otherwise low on a plant‑free diet. Liver glycogen is preferentially delivered to the brain at night, supporting glial cells that rely on carbohydrates, while neurons primarily use ketones. Prolonged exclusive animal diets can starve glial cells, impairing brain pruning and repair. Huber proposes a “clean keto cycling” approach—maintaining ketosis 5‑6 days a week, then refeeding with raw honey (or other carbs) to replenish gut lining and liver glycogen before returning to ketosis. This strategy mirrors the Bulletproof diet’s cyclical carb intake.
