Summary

In Episode #94, I sat down with Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, for a second episode – this time for a deep dive into the plant-based ketogenic diet and whether or not it’s a good option for people with insulin resistance and diabetes. We talked about why a low-carb diet is popular for diabetics and frequently recommended by doctors, and Cyrus and Robby shared the philosophy of the high-carb Mastering Diabetes program. We also discussed a new 2019 study looking at a traditional ketogenic diet, whether a ketogenic diet can truly reverse diabetes, who may be suited to a plant-based ketogenic diet, and much more. Whether you have diabetes or not, I think you will still find this episode interesting. Plus, with the rates of diabetes skyrocketing (particularly prediabetes and type 2 diabetes) it’s highly likely that most people listening will know someone who is affected by this disease. Stick around until the end for my summary where I bring together the take-home messages. For more insights and reflections, visit The Proof website for the full show notes. Enjoy, friends.

0:53.1	fatty acids in increased your intake of unsaturated fatty acids from both mono and
0:57.4	poly, meaning moofa and poofa, then does that improve your insulin sensitivity or does
1:04.2	that preserve your insulin sensitivity?
1:06.5	There's multiple pieces of evidence that actually demonstrate that, in fact, yes, that
