I agree with you about all those benefits with exercise. Even if there is no proof, exercise alone improves my mood and if my mood is better I feel better all around and that definitely affects my epilepsy in a good way.

I know this is a late response but I lift weights 5 days a week and I take a lot of Glutamine, about 20 Grams a day, split throughout the day. L-Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid. Also,
I don't know the benefits of an L-Glutamine supplement in regards to epilepsy. You should post some links that show evidence of the benefits so that others can read about it. That would be cool.
I personally believe that lifting weights helps my epilepsy. I think that for me, it helps build a better connection between my nervous system and body. I haven't noticed any downside to lifting weights and being epileptic.
L-Glutamine not only helps repair tired muscle and injury but also boosts the immune system and we can all use that!
