The Ketogenic Cure: They Don't Teach This in Medical School

For extra details and all references, see this newsletter: https://staycuriousmetabolism.substack.com/p/a-keto-diet-cured-my-inflammatory?r=40ekz2 Description: There was a time when I was dying from inflammatory bowel disease. It was my rock bottom. Out of desperation, I tried a ketogenic diet—and within a week, everything changed. My symptoms stopped, inflammation markers dropped, and follow-up testing showed no active disease. In this video, I unpack what may have happened biologically. We walk through human and animal data showing how a ketogenic diet reshapes the gut microbiome, suppresses inflammatory TH17 immune cells, and reduces inflammation not just in the intestines, but system-wide. We even look at fecal transplant experiments demonstrating that the ketogenic microbiome itself can transfer anti-inflammatory effects. This isn’t a promise or a prescription. It’s a personal story, grounded in real data, that explores the tension between lived biology and what medicine has—or hasn’t—caught up to yet. Sometimes biology doesn’t wait for peer review.
