Can the ketogenic diet help manage certain health challenges?
Written by Josh Morley
Absolutely. Obesity and insulin resistance are at the root of several diseases, including type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and the fact that both can be improved on a ketogenic diet may suggest that the diet can help with those situations. Additionally, there is very strong evidence that the ketogenic diet benefits conditions such as epilepsy and GLUT 1 deficiency. Further research is exploring how the diet may help with conditions like type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, multiple sclerosis, depression, PTSD, and cancer. However, please consult your primary care doctor and physician before making any changes in your diet for therapeutic purposes.
