Despite advanced healthcare systems, those with type 1 diabetes face reduced lifespans of 11-18 years. More research is urgently needed in this area, as there is currently only one seven-day Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) examining ketogenic therapy for type 1 diabetes management.Key Highlights
- Personal Journey: Andrew Koutnik’s experience with type 1 diabetes and how it led him to discover the benefits of ketogenic therapy.
- Ketogenic Therapy: An in-depth look at how ketogenic diets can normalize glucose levels, reduce complications—particularly in heart and brain health—and improve the quality of life for individuals with type 1 diabetes.
- Mental Health Connection: An exploration of the association between type 1 diabetes and mental health disorders, highlighting the impact of blood sugar dysregulation on mood, cognition, IQ, and neuroanatomy.
- Case Studies and Publications: Dr. Koutnik’s recent publication of a 10-year case study on using ketogenic interventions to manage type 1 diabetes, showcasing long-term benefits and practical applications.
Join us for this enlightening conversation with Dr. Andrew Koutnik as he shares his decade-long experience with ketogenic therapy and its profound impact on his life and research. By the end of this video, you’ll have a deeper understanding of the potential of ketogenic diets to transform the management of type 1 diabetes and improve physical and mental health.
