Harnessing Ketogenic and Carnivore Diets for Metabolic Health

This episode is brought to you by the Primal Tallow Balms.

Dr. Andrew Koutnik is a metabolic scientist who has completed a study on a high-fat ketogenic diet over a 10-year period in a high-risk patient population (type 1 diabetes). This patient population has a 10x higher cardiovascular risk compared to non-diabetics.

The question proposed in this 10-year-long high-fat, low-carb study was to assess end markers including glycemic control and advanced cardiovascular markers, while keeping other variables consistent. The results were surprising, showing notable outcomes in both glycemic control and LDL cholesterol.
