Carnivore Diet for Inflammatory Bowel Disease: New Source of Hope? With Nick Norwitz, PhD

Video Description

In this episode, PhD researcher and fourth-year medical student Nick Norwitz returns to Metabolic Mind to discuss his recently published case series featuring ten individuals who have successfully managed their Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) using a carnivore ketogenic diet. This promising approach is challenging conventional dietary norms, particularly when it comes to managing chronic inflammatory conditions. Nick delves into why this dietary intervention may offer significant therapeutic benefits for those suffering from IBD. We also explore the broader implications of how we interpret dietary studies and the impact of IBD on mental health. Join us as we examine this hopeful new frontier in metabolic health and what it could mean for those battling severe IBD symptoms. *Featured Paper* _Case report: Carnivore–ketogenic diet for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease: a case series of 10 patients_ https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/nutrition/articles/10.3389/fnut.2024.1467475/full *Experts Featured* Nick Norwitz, PhD X: @nicknorwitz https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicknorwitz/ https://www.youtube.com/@nicknorwitzMDPhD https://staycuriousmetabolism.substack.com/ Resources: Metabolic Mind’s Families & Peers page: https://www.metabolicmind.org/families-and-peers Clinician Directory: https://www.diagnosisdiet.com/directory Follow our channel for more information and education from Bret Scher, MD, FACC, including interviews with leading experts in Metabolic Psychiatry.
