Congratulations to @SBNutrients Advisory Board member Dr. @GuidoFrank for publishing the first clinical study on ketogenic therapy for anorexia nervosa. The results are extremely impressive. A must-read for anyone treating patients with eating disorders.
New study offers hope for anorexia nervosa.
The first-ever pilot trial of ketogenic therapy for anorexia nervosa was just published.
Here's what @GuidoFrank and his research team at @UCSDMedSchool found. 🧵

12-Month Interim Clinical Trial Results Show Sustained Kidney and Liver Volume Reduction With KetoCitra® and Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy in Autosomal-Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease
Santa Barbara Nutrients (SBN) is pleased to announce the 12-month interim results from an ongoing clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of SBN’s medical food KetoCitra® in combination with a structured ketogenic nutrition and lifestyle program in individuals with moderate-to-advanced Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). The new results were presented at the World Congress of Nephrology (WCN 2026) and extend and reinforce the previous, highly encouraging three-month interim data reported earlier this year.

A major new trial just showed that dramatically lowering triglycerides didn't reduce heart artery plaque compared to placebo.
Does that mean triglycerides (TGs) don't matter for heart disease? Absolutely not, but it does reveal a flaw in how we're thinking about treatment.
Here's why. 👇

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Rayza, who recently completed the Ren-Nu™ Program with incredible success.
Rayza shares how she’s feeling better than she has in years, how her kidney function has remained stable, and—just as importantly—how she’s made these changes feel sustainable in her day-to-day life.
For anyone wondering if this approach is realistic or maintainable—this episode offers a grounded, hopeful perspective.
🎧 Tune in and hear Rayza’s story! https://t.co/IfAZ4QGEXB

What happens when someone commits to metabolic health for over a decade?
Maria’s journey started in 2013 with intermittent fasting—and evolved into a full metabolic approach including KetoCitra and the Ren-Nu Program.
Today, her eGFR has improved from the 40s to the 80s!!
This is the kind of story that challenges what we’ve been told is possible. Honestly, stories like this make me emotional—and so hopeful for the future.

#UCSB researchers are closer to uncovering the neural circuitry that translates stimulus to action.
These findings not only demonstrate complexities of the animal nervous system, they also have potential implications for robotics and biomimetic design: https://t.co/8DRX5ymifY
One-year interim results presented: KetoCitra and keto diet in POLYCYSTIC KIDNEY DISEASE.
--> significant decrease in total kidney volume and slowed eGFR decline after one year on KetoCitra and keto diet.

The challenge in nutritional therapy isn’t knowing what helps — it’s implementing it safely and sustainably.
Structured programs close this gap by providing education, monitoring, and accountability.
