South Africa is facing a diabetes crisis; more than 4 million people are living with the condition, and most aren’t getting the care they need.
A recent study by the University of Pretoria’s Diabetes Research Centre highlights serious gaps in diabetes management and calls for a shift toward personalised, proactive care.

First ever peer-reviewed low-carb/keto food pyramid!!
🔥New paper addresses all the myths vs. FACTs on these diets. i.e, they are not nutritionally deficient, not a "fad" diet, do not have harmful side effects, do not cause heart disease, and more. Link below.
If you haven’t yet picked up a copy of @DougieReynolds’ brand-new book, “The Road to Metabolic Health,” you can find it by searching his name along with the book title. Help us spread this important message to more people who need it!
2nd Women’s Health Day Panel at the 9th Annual Boca Symposium for Metabolic Health, featuring @JodiNishida, @AnnetteBosworth & @KackleyMLPhD
The entire first day of this incredible conference focused on Women’s Health. Such an amazing day!
Next up low-carb wine & low-carb dinner!
How does a ketogenic diet uniquely affect women?
It’s a hotly debated topic. Some women say keto balanced their hormones and restored their menstrual cycles, while others claim it disrupted their hormones and halted their cycles. Why the conflicting experiences?
In this episode, Dr. Madison Kackley (@KackleyMLPhD) from the SHE IS Lab at @OhioState discusses the science behind these differing outcomes and shares her research on ketogenic therapies for PCOS, postpartum depression, perimenopause, and women’s health overall. Dr. Kackley was also involved in a Baszucki Group funded study of ketogenic diet for depression in college students that is completed and awaiting publication, with impressive results.
Throughout this interview, Dr. Kackley highlights many impressive outcomes. One of the most remarkable findings was women reporting the return of their menstrual cycles after being absent for over a year—results that couldn’t be explained by weight loss alone.
Hormonal health isn’t just about menstrual cycles or sexual health though. It’s also deeply intertwined with mental health. This connection may help explain why women often experience significant cognitive and mental health shifts during different life stages and phases of their menstrual cycles.
While more research is needed, Dr. Kackley’s findings highlight the potential of ketogenic therapies as a promising option for women seeking to support both hormonal and mental health. If you’re curious about how keto might impact different aspects of women’s health, this episode is a must-listen.

“I’m extremely excited for this symposium, especially the Women’s Health Initiative,” Dr. Madison Kackley said. “Women’s health research is incredibly complex, and it’s a field that’s been neglected for too long.” @KackleyMLPhD

Increasing ketones in the blood through a keto diet or supplements may help put irregular menstrual cycles back on schedule or even restart a period that appears to have stalled for good, new research suggests. @OSUehe https://t.co/afnpthY0B9
