Teresa Rodriguez, RDN, IFNCP, LDN, CLT –
I love the course! It is an inspiration and a dream to see all the data and research in one book. The ketogenic diet changed my personal and professional life. I am sure this book is going to impact many dietitians and patients’ quality of life.
Temple Stewart, RD, LD, The Ketogenic Nutritionist, Owner & Private Practice Ketogenic Dietitian –
The course is exceptionally thorough, with up-to-date, evidence-based content that is both well-organized and easy to understand. It presents an unbiased overview of the ketogenic diet, covering both its benefits and potential limitations – essential knowledge for any medical professional aiming to deepen their understanding of this dietary approach.
James S. Stover, MS, RDN, LD, Elizabethtown, KY –
Fellow dietitians, listen to me! If you have any doubts about the use of the Ketogenic (Keto) Diet for any other health condition but epilepsy (including, but not limited to, diabetes type-2, obesity, & heart disease), or if you see the benefits of using the Keto Diet for such health conditions but fear employing it, then The Keto Diet and Chronic Disease: Fusing Research and Practice to Drive Results Course may help dispel your doubts and fears concerning the diet’s use. The Keto Diet and Chronic Disease Course thoroughly covers the following topics:
1.) The history of the Keto Diet’s usage and how the diet is to be employed therapeutically.
2.) The body’s [physiological and biochemical] mechanisms of action that take place in a person who consumes the Keto Diet.
3.) A “fair and balanced” explanation of the benefits and risks of employing the Keto Diet in practice.
4.) The use of the Keto Diet to treat the following conditions: Cancer, diabetes type-2, neurodegenerative diseases, obesity (weight management), autoimmune diseases, heart disease, autism, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), and acne.
“Furthermore, for ‘encouragement’s sake’, The Keto Diet and Chronic Disease Course also contain the testimonies of 6 fellow dietitians who employ the Keto Diet in their practice on a “regular” basis. This course is “science-based”, and it cites a total of 1,356 sources in its defense. (If it’s of any consolation, for example, 62 sources were used to explain the Keto Diet’s effectiveness against diabetes type-2 and 182 sources were used to explain the Keto Diet’s effectiveness in weight management). Finally, of the myriad of researchers who wrote the sources cited in this course, I personally know that 6 of them (5 MDs & 1 RDN) are major contributors to Diet Doctor (A highly popular “low-carb, high-fat” diet Website), and that 1 of them is a Professor of Medicine from the University of Newcastle [England] (the author of the DIRECT Study) who I deem to be the “King of Diabetes Research”.
“In conclusion, the Keto Diet and Chronic Disease Course is well worth taking, and I highly recommend it to EVERY fellow dietitian. (WARNING: If you decide to take this course, then prepare to “sharpen” your physiology and biochemistry knowledge!).”
