💪 Muscle is more than strength. It’s critical for metabolic health, functional independence, and long-term well-being. As we age or lose weight, maintaining muscle becomes essential for protecting strength, mobility, and metabolic health. In our latest blog post, we share five key strategies to help preserve lean mass on a ketogenic or low-carb diet, including optimizing protein intake, incorporating resistance training, and supporting muscle health with key micronutrients. 🔗 keto-mojo.com/blog/preservin… #HealthyAging #MusclePreservation #KetoLifestyle #MetabolicHealth

🧠 Can ketogenic diets or fasting support brain health and improve quality of life in people with multiple sclerosis (MS)? In a new 18-month randomized controlled trial, researchers compared three dietary approaches in people with relapsing-remitting MS: a standard anti-inflammatory diet, a ketogenic diet, and a fasting regimen combining time-restricted eating with periodic 7-day fasts. While none of the diets reduced new brain lesions on MRI, the ketogenic and fasting diets showed meaningful benefits: ✅ Improved cognitive function (ketogenic group) ✅ Reduced depressive symptoms (fasting group) ✅ Improved cardiometabolic markers, including blood pressure, body fat, and insulin levels (ketogenic and fasting groups) These findings support the idea that ketogenic and fasting approaches may complement standard MS treatments, particularly for cognitive and metabolic outcomes 💡 — Bahr LS, Bellmann-Strobl J, Koppold DA, Rust R, Schmitz-Hübsch T, Olszewska M, Stadlbauer J, Bock M, Scheel M, Chien C, Multmeier J, Krannich A, Michalsen A, Paul F, Mähler A.

Can nutritional ketosis reduce inflammation in people with type 2 diabetes, beyond its effects on blood sugar and weight loss? In a 2-year study, adults with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes either followed a remote continuous care intervention (CCI) focused on carbohydrate restriction and nutritional ketosis ((β-hydroxybutyrate 0.5-3.0 mmol/L) or received standard diabetes care. Among participants with type 2 diabetes, 19 of 21 inflammatory and immune markers improved after 1 year in the CCI group, with most improvements maintained at 2 years. Key findings included reductions in: 🔹 hsCRP (−32.1%) 🔹 IL-6 (−18.6%) 🔹 IL-18 (−13.8%) 🔹 TNF-α (−13.4%) 🔹 E-selectin (−29.6%) Higher ketone levels were independently associated with improvements in several inflammatory markers, while greater weight loss was linked to additional reductions in inflammatory cytokines. By contrast, the usual care group showed little to no improvement over time. These findings suggest that nutritional ketosis may help improve multiple inflammatory pathways involved in type 2 diabetes and metabolic disease.💥 — Athinarayanan SJ, Phinney SD, Adams RN, Volek JS, Thurmond DC, McKenzie AL, Roberts CGP, Ratner RE, Krauss RM, Fonseca VA.

🧠 Targeting cancer metabolism may offer a promising way to complement standard treatment for glioblastoma. In a clinical trial, 18 patients with newly diagnosed IDH-wildtype glioblastoma, underwent standard chemoradiation with a metabolic program that included repeated 5-day fasts, daily time-restricted eating, and a modified ketogenic diet. The patients monitored bedtime blood glucose and BHB levels daily at home to calculate the glucose ketone index (GKI). The researchers reported the following: 🔹 83% of patients maintained the target glucose ketone index (GKI ≤6) during chemoradiation 🔹 Mean GKI reached 1.88 during chemoradiation and 2.53 during chemotherapy 🔹 Exercise activity and quality of life improved significantly 🔹 Median overall survival was 21.5 months versus 14.7 months in a contemporary control group 🔹 Three-year survival was 27% versus 7% in controls The authors concluded that this intensive metabolic approach was feasible, maintained a low glucose ketone index (GKI), and was associated with improved quality of life and longer survival. Larger randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm these findings. — Phillips MCL, Thotathil Z, Bin Haji Mohd Yasin NA, de Groot C, Tan A, Kuper-Hommel M, Creagh L-A, Ji E, Naidoo N, van Essen M, Ziad F, Moon BG, Frampton C, Jameson MB.

🧠 Can a ketogenic diet improve both metabolic health and psychiatric symptoms in people with psychotic disorders? In the first randomized controlled trial of its kind, 58 adults with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders or bipolar I disorder with psychotic features were randomized to a ketogenic diet or their usual diet for one month. Participants then had the opportunity to continue the ketogenic diet for up to four months. They received prepared ketogenic meals and weekly dietary support, while a subset also monitored daily blood ketones at home. Researchers found: ✔️ 89% completed the one-month ketogenic intervention ✔️ Daily blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) averaged approximately 1.3 mmol/L, indicating sustained nutritional ketosis ✔️ Body weight, HbA1c, and insulin resistance improved after one month ✔️ Participants who continued the ketogenic diet for four months also showed improvements in psychiatric symptoms and cognitive performance ✔️ Greater ketosis – not weight loss – was associated with larger improvements in depressive symptoms and HbA1c The authors concluded that a ketogenic diet was feasible and associated with improvements in metabolic health, psychiatric symptoms, and cognition in people with serious mental illness. 💥 — Abram SV, Kyner JM, Vu A, Naeem Z, Sethi S, Jacob MS, Fryer SL, Mathalon DH, Ford JM.

⚡️ Why do some people easily switch between burning carbs and fat, while others seem stuck in “sugar-burning mode”? This article explores how a ketogenic lifestyle can help restore metabolic flexibility, the body’s ability to efficiently use both glucose and fat for fuel. It also explains what happens when carbs are reintroduced and why deciding whether to test carb tolerance should be a highly individual choice. 🔗 Read the article: keto-mojo.com/article/metabo… #MetabolicHealth #KetogenicDiet #MetabolicFlexibility #LowCarb

Can a whole-food #ketogenic diet with modest calorie reduction match a very-low-calorie, meal-replacement approach for weight loss and other metabolic benefits? A 3-month prospective study compared a VLCKD (600–800 kcal/day mainly from meal replacements) with a whole-food Mediterranean ketogenic diet (MedKD) containing 1200–1500 kcal/day in adults with obesity. Despite major differences in calories and food quality, results were similar among the 55 participants (27 VLCKD, 28 MedKD) who completed the study: ✔️ ~33 lb (15 kg) average weight loss (~15% body weight) in both groups ✔️ Waist circumference and central adiposity decreased significantly in both groups ✔️ HOMA-IR improved in both groups, with greater reductions in the MedKD group ✔️ Triglycerides decreased, and lipid profiles improved similarly in both groups ✔️ No serious adverse events; both diets were well tolerated Notably, the MedKD group started with worse metabolic profiles, which may have influenced the magnitude of improvement. These findings suggest that a whole-food ketogenic approach may offer a more flexible and practical alternative to formula-based protocols, without compromising short-term outcomes.

For decades, athletes have been told that carb-loading is essential for optimal performance. Yet new research suggests that endurance metabolism may be more flexible than previously thought. Recent studies on fat-adapted athletes, carbohydrate supplementation during prolonged exercise, and exercise metabolism suggest that carbohydrate needs may vary widely between athletes and situations — as discussed in our new article. 🔗 Read the article: link in bio. #SportsNutrition #MetabolicHealth #EndurancePerformance #LowCarb #Research #KetogenicDiet

Heart disease is the #1 killer of men. This Men's Health Month, we're amplifying voices doing the work to change that. Dr. Ovadia of Ovadia Heart Health, author of "Stay Off My Operating Table," shares his journey from heart surgeon to metabolic health advocate. His message is clear: Diet, not drugs, should be the first line of defense. "As a heart surgeon, I always say, it doesn't matter how good a heart surgeon I might be, you're never going to be as good after I operate on you as you would have been if you didn't need that operation in the first place."
