@GavinNewsom @SenAlexPadilla I didn’t see what happened. Was he paddle boarding without a mask on? That would make sense then.

@SecKennedy @FDA How will endogenously produced products that are currently sold as supplements be affected. Beta-hydroxybutyrate is currently self certified as GRAS but is clearly safe based on existing evidence. What will be the mechanism to ensure that compounds like this are kept available?

[Jacob Torres PhD @therealjacobt]

@SecKennedy Regarding changes to self certification of GRAS ingredients. There are many natural products produced by the body that are self-certified GRAS but are clearly safe based on existing data. How will these products be affected?

@drjasonfung Can you propose your model that is in disagreement? How is @foundmyfitness incorrect in her assertion? Thank you.

Come meet Dr. Thomas Weimbs, Founder of Santa Barbara Nutrients, and receive a free KetoCitra® sample at our SBN booth at the NKF Spring Clinical Meeting 2024!

The Santa Barbara Nutrients team returns to NKF Conference this week!

Dr. Weimbs, a molecular biologist, has run the Weimbs’ PKD Research Lab for over 20 years at the University of California. The lab which focuses on the molecular mechanisms which underlie PKD has led to several significant discoveries regarding the disease. Our product, KetoCitra®, was born out of the Lab’s research.

We look forward to meeting you there!

@CitizenFreePres The cost of childcare is worse. Buying a house assumes that the income is going to a mortgage payment and not also 2k$ a month for raising kids. This issue needs to be addressed so families can thrive and think about buying a home.

We just wrapped up a wonderful weekend at the Metabolic Health Summit in Santa Barbara, CA!

During the summit, we were grateful to have Glenn Frommer stop by our booth! Glenn is a huge advocate for the Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) community.

@KetoCarnivore @dramerling @Mangan150 @drjasonfung @KetoDocCLT @lowcarbGP @DrDanMO I never looked at CPT deficiency. We talked about CPT at AHS ‘17 waiting in line for wine. 😀
