Note to myself: No need to review these videos again. Not that helpful to me.
Today, I review and link to five of Dr. Nick Norwitz’ videos on the ketogenic diet:

Are BHB-Amino Acids the Missing Link to Keto Weight Loss?
No actionable information.
Breaking research has identified a new class of anti-obesity biomolecules, the BHB-amino acids, that reduce appetite and contribute to weight loss. We will walk through the data together, elucidate why these data are so exciting, and ask the hard question, “are you a keto responder?” Chapters 0:00 – New Anti-Obesity Metabolite Discovered 0:42 – What are BHB Amino Acids? 2:38 – High Level Points about New Metabolite, BHB Phe 3:08 – Digging into the Data 5:23 – Quick Summary 5:37 – Are You a Keto Responder? Reference: A β-hydroxybutyrate shunt pathway generates anti-obesity ketone metabolites. Cell. 2024. PMID: 39536746
Hidden Ketones: A New Story of Neuroprotection and Gut Health
Ketogenic diets show promise in clinical trials and case series for multiple neurological diseases, including epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Multiple Sclerosis. Now new data shine a light on how ketones can improve the signs and symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis through modulating the Microbiome. I’ll walk you through the data and highlight broad points to ensure this video is value to every curious scientist watching, not just those with interest in multiple sclerosis or neurological diseases.
