Thomas Weimbs

Professor Thomas Weimbs from UCSB joins to discuss breakthroughs in polycystic kidney disease (PKD) research. He reveals how dietary interventions, particularly ketogenic diets, profoundly impact kidney health and may even reverse disease progression. Insights into the dual role of beta-hydroxybutyrate and the significance of personalized dietary approaches emphasize a shift away from traditional treatments. Weimbs also highlights the importance of community support and ongoing trials in reshaping patient care and dietary guidelines for kidney health.
