Keeping it 100, the last thing I 'wrote' were edits to a novel I self published 3 years ago to fix small errors.

Trying to jump back into my WIP but struggling to feel the spark to keep going.
Could use some encouragement...
🚨 New Paper: Could the Carnivore Diet Revolutionize Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Treatment?
https://t.co/ZQ57EutNIN
👉 In a case series of 10 patients with IBD, either ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, all 10 saw major clinical improvements on a carnivore-ketogenic diet.
👉 Patients exhibited a mean increase in IBDQ-32 score (higher is better) from 95 to 216 out of a possible 224 points, indicating clinical remission.
👉 Patients are off all medications for IBD.
🌟 The Biological Plausibility 🌟
Ketogenic and carnivore diets increase ketone levels, which is linked to reduced IBD activity in prior studies.
There may also be positive effects on the stem cell niche, in the intestines.
Finally, low-fiber diets may therapeutically impact gut microbiota metabolism, also as shown previously.
Sample patient quotes…
👨 Patient 1: “A keto-carnivore diet let me forget that I have Crohn’s. No drugs, no surgery… The decades that I dealt with Crohn’s are like another lifetime.”
🧑Patient 3: “Within days my bowel movement changed from loose to normal! And within two weeks I had more energy than I did the past 10 years. When I last spoke with my doctor he said that if I'm feeling incredible he does not want to put me on the medication. And that was so encouraging! Especially since he has been really skeptical of the diet.”
👨Patient 6: “Carnivore seems limiting at first, but it’s actually freeing.”
🧑Patient 10: “My carnivore-ketogenic diet healed it all! After over 20 years, I’m disease and medication free! I was told that diet could not help me, but I guarantee you it helped. I lived it. I will never buy another candy bar again. And that’s something because I love sweets, but not as much as I love feeling this way.”
🤔 Could this be the future of IBD treatment? We need to invest in more research to find out. Let’s do that!
For more, read the study and watch the video abstract on YouTube.

P.S. People will strawman this work. I encourage you to read the paper, including all patients’ powerful stories, and watch the video abstract to hear what arguments are actually being made.
This isn’t about diet tribalism… it’s about pursuing curiosity and progressing research to help suffering people.
Finally attempted a 13.1 mi training run this morning (half marathon race is in 2 mo). Developed a stress injury in my foot & had to quit at 9mi when I couldn't walk on it. I'm bummed. Really hoping a few days rest clears it up.

SAVE THE DATE! Oct 13th in DC will be the first-ever rally for metabolic health. Be there!
I'll be speaking along with @RobertLustigMD@GeorgiaEdeMD@drericwestman@ChrisPalmerMD@VinnieTortorich and more.
Organized by Metabolic Revolution, a new grassroots group. It demands that:
-->The next President develops policies to address the severe problems of chronic disease, including mental disorders.
-->The U.S. Dietary Guidelines should heal, not harm, our health
-->The healthcare system be reformed to do more than provide band-aid solutions for symptoms and instead address the root causes of disease.

The time to demand change is now!

@bigfatsurprise@garytaubes Nina & Gary, so happy @Gladwell cited you both for his McDonalds episode. Still disappointed he didn't dive deeper on this dire revisionist issue. He should follow up on historically bad science on seed oils, sat fat & how we can fix our food supply.
