Title: Nutritional Ketosis in Health and Performance

Description: Have you heard of the keto diet? Ketone supplements? Is there any scientific evidence that they really work?
In this seminar Dr. Little will highlight the latest evidence in the science of nutritional ketosis. Specifically, he will attempt to answer the following four questions:
1) Should everyone follow a ketogenic diet?
2) Should people with type 2 diabetes follow a ketogenic diet?
3) Do exogenous ketone supplements improve endurance performance? and
4) Can exogenous ketones improve cardiometabolic health?
