Why do so many people believe a keto diet causes heart disease when there’s actually no evidence for that? I explore that in my latest Metabolic Mind video!.
There is NO evidence that a keto diet increases the risk of heart disease. What there IS emerging evidence for is the potential metabolic & mental health benefits of #TherapeuticNutritionalKetosis. These alone merit future studies on its use as a medical treatment.

There’s tremendous potential for Ketogenic therapy for traumatic brain injury, including associated seizures, anxiety and depression. Could be vital for military, contact sports, accidents, etc. Great talk by @DominicDAgosti2

What does grass have to do with our chronic disease epidemic?? A lot, as it turns out. Healthier ruminants with healthier grass and soil can help make healthier humans. @GrassBased is leading the way at Low Carb San Diego

It’s a bit of a joke that they define high protein as 20 to 30% of calories, but aside from that it’s good to see that getting adequate protein can actually benefit heart failure. It’s time to reframe how we see protein for healing, recovery and health optimization.
