Brain Power Ice Cream
My grandma Rosemary suffered with Alzheimer’s. She passed 5 years ago, but oh, how I wish I could have made her ice cream like this! She loved desserts so this would have been a great way to help her brain.
HOW TO MAKE BRAIN POWER ICE CREAM
To make my delicious brain power ice cream, I used Perfect Keto MCT Oil! Not only does it add a wonderful flavor, it also adds brain benefits! ]
What Is MCT Oil?
MCT oil is a supplement made from medium-chain triglycerides—fatty acids with a carbon chain length of 6 to 12 atoms. Unlike long-chain fats found in olive oil, nuts, and meats, MCTs are:
- Rapidly absorbed in the gut
- Transported directly to the liver
- Quickly converted into ketones or ATP for immediate energy
The most common forms include:
- Caproic Acid (C6)
- Caprylic Acid (C8) – fast and highly ketogenic
- Capric Acid (C10) – slightly slower to metabolize
- Lauric Acid (C12) – has antimicrobial properties, but behaves more like a long-chain fat
Benefits of MCT Oil:
Cognitive Support and Brain Health
MCTs may enhance cognitive function, particularly in those with impaired glucose metabolism—a hallmark of aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
In a randomized trial published in Neurobiology of Aging, adults with mild cognitive impairment experienced improved memory performance after consuming MCTs, likely due to increased ketone availability.
Why it matters: The brain can use ketones as an alternative fuel source when glucose metabolism is impaired, supporting clearer thinking and memory retention.
Gut Health and Antimicrobial Properties
MCTs—especially caprylic acid (C8)—have natural antimicrobial effects. Research has shown that they can help combat certain pathogens while supporting a more balanced gut environment.
One study published in Journal of Medicinal Food found that C8 and C10 fatty acids inhibited the growth of Candida albicans, a common gut yeast that can become problematic in excess.
Why it matters: MCT oil may play a role in supporting gut microbial balance and immune health, especially in those with dysbiosis.

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
I’m probably the ONLY woman who loves it when 1/2 naked women send photos to my husband 
“So something amazing happened and I am in total disbelief. I got on the scale a few days ago, my weight was 135.7. I figured it was off or wrong so I weighed myself yesterday morning and it was 135.2.
Still thought maybe I need a new scale. As I was packing for our family’s upcoming cruise I tried on a size medium swimsuit(top and bottom) and it fit so comfortably it wasn’t pinching me anywhere.
So I bit the bullet again this morning and got on the scale because in my head there’s no way.
I was wrong, I weighed 134.8. I now weigh less than I did on my wedding day 23 years ago!!!
The help, support, advice and tips I received from @mariaemmerich and @craig_emmerich has all led me to this victory.
Thank you all so very much. You are so kind and helpful and it didn’t go unnoticed. Sw 3/7/22 was 207lbs. Cw today 134.8” – Tracy
