ANECDOTE

Ketogenic Diet Put His IBD Into Remission

  • Nick Norwitz struggled with severe inflammatory bowel disease and found remission on a ketogenic diet when conventional treatments failed.
  • That personal recovery motivated his focus on metabolism and patient education.
INSIGHT

RCTs Can't Capture Individual Physiology

  • Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) struggle to capture individual variability and responders vs non-responders.
  • Medicine is shifting toward N=1, physiology-driven approaches using AI and longitudinal data.
ADVICE

Build Longitudinal Multi‑Omics Profiles

  • Use multi-omics plus longitudinal monitoring to build personalized treatment plans.
  • Combine those data with AI diagnostics and education to empower individuals to act on their health.
