028: REVERSING Chronic KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD): A KETO BREAKTHROUGH! (with Prof. THOMAS WEIMBS, PhD)

028: REVERSING Chronic KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD): A KETO BREAKTHROUGH! (with Prof. THOMAS WEIMBS, PhD) We feature Professor Thomas Weimbs, PhD, a pioneering kidney researcher from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) and Vice Chair of Graduate Studies at the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology (MCDB). The ketogenic diet (ketogenic metabolic therapy/KMT) is showing promise in reversing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), a condition widely considered irreversible. This approach, backed by clinical trials and research, improves kidney function and reduces kidney size in patients with conditions like Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and type 2 diabetes. The key is a ketone body called Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), which acts as a kidney-protective hormone. As research continues, nutritional ketosis is emerging as a powerful tool to manage and potentially reverse CKD, offering new hope to patients. *PMIDs of Cited Papers: 31631001, 38095025, 36432618, 35664270, 337935200, 337935200, 40547366, 34468402, 38946781 *Weimbs Lab @ UCSB: https://labs.mcdb.ucsb.edu/weimbs/tho...
