Carnivore Diet for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: New Source of Hope? With Nick Norwitz, PhD @metabolicmind

Metabolic Mind | Carnivore Diet for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: New Source of Hope? With Nick Norwitz, PhD @metabolicmind | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this episode, PhD researcher and fourth-year medical student Nick Norwitz returns to Metabolic Mind to discuss his recently published case series featuring ten individuals who have successfully managed their Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) using a carnivore ketogenic diet. This promising approach is challenging conventional dietary norms, particularly when it comes to managing chronic inflammatory conditions.

Nick delves into why this dietary intervention may offer significant therapeutic benefits for those suffering from IBD. We also explore the broader implications of how we interpret dietary studies and the impact of IBD on mental health.

Join us as we examine this hopeful new frontier in metabolic health and what it could mean for those battling severe IBD symptoms.

Keto, Microbiome, and Depression: A New RCT led by Dr. Timur Liwinski

$Long-Term Safety of Ketogenic Diets - with Dr. Bret Scher In this video, Dr. Bret Scher addresses common misconceptions and concerns surrounding the long-term safety and nutritional adequacy of ketogenic diets. Dr. Scher emphasizes the importance of weighing potential risks against known benefits. For instance, psychotropic medications, despite often worsening overall physical and metabolic health, are considered beneficial because they can alleviate symptoms of serious mental illnesses. In contrast, many patients experience incredible benefits from ketogenic therapy without harmful side effects. In numerous cases, a medical keto diet can even put psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression into complete remission. What Youll Learn: ▪️Long-Term Safety: Is it safe to maintain ketosis over an extended period? ▪️Nutritional Adequacy: Can a ketogenic diet lead to nutrient deficiencies or disordered eating habits? ▪️Fiber and Phytonutrients: Are fiber intake and phytonutrients compromised on a ketogenic diet? ▪️Heart Disease Risk: Is there an increased risk of heart disease with long-term ketosis? ▪️Short-Term vs. Long-Term Outcomes: Is ketosis only effective for short-term outcomes? There is a lot of information circulating online touting the risks of long-term ketogenic diets that is completely unfounded. Dr. Scher tackles these prevalent questions, analyzing scientific evidence and dispelling myths surrounding ketogenic diets.

Many non-communicable diseases can be traced to metabolic dysfunction, and medical keto is a powerful intervention that can repair metabolism and restore health. As awareness of the therapeutic potential of a medical keto diet grows, more patients are increasingly interested in exploring this type of metabolic therapy. However many clinicians may not be familiar with the nuances of implementing a medical keto diet. This video aims to provide insight into - The difference between a keto diet and ketogenic therapy - The distinction between ketosis is not the same as ketoacidosis - Over a hundred years of research on medical keto for epilepsy, demonstrating the neurological impact, safety, and efficacy of ketogenic therapy Join Dr. Scher as he explores these topics and more to better support patients with this promising therapy that has a growing evidence base for both physical and psychiatric conditions.
