Course Description:
The presentation will focus on past and present research on nutritional ketosis and how we can harness this physiological state to improve brain health and systemic biomarkers of metabolic health. The presentation will emphasize how nutritional interventions alter metabolic physiology and how ketones beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate influence cellular bioenergetics and confer protection through specific signaling pathways associated with neuroprotective function, suppression of inflammation, and epigenetic regulation. Implementation strategies will be discussed in pre-clinical animal studies and human clinical trials.
