Short excerpt from a YouTube conversation (host Josh Trent and a guest) about potential synergies between exogenous ketones and plant medicines, specifically ayahuasca. The guest suggests ceremonies often involve fasting/purging that induces a ketogenic state, and that ketones can provide efficient brain fuel during intense neural activity in such ceremonies.

Are there other things that you can stack ketones with that are that'll be in harmony and synergy that'll amplify both results.
So I've heard very interesting combination synergy with ayahuasca, plant medicine with ketones.
Okay, now you just drop the mic.
My understanding is that oftentimes for a lot of these ceremonies there is some sort of fasting and purging and like a very clean diet.
Yeah.
And you're not really able to hold down food. So in some sense you're essentially getting the ketogenic state while you are on this, you know, multi day ceremony.
Yeah.
You are having a very efficient brain fuel in a plant ceremony. You're like all these neurons are firing and you need energy, you need substrate to fuel all that neurotransmitter release. Ketones are a very efficient fuel to power a lot of those synapse firing.
You just rocked my world with the ayahuasca and the ketones. I've never heard that before.
