Chapter 9: The Ketogenic Diet (coauthor)

This chapter builds on the key concepts from the preceding booklet, adding a concise history of the ketogenic diet alongside practical tables outlining its potential benefits and mechanisms of action. It also includes guidance on initiating a ketogenic diet and features a useful food reference table.

Doug tells an incredible story about his childhood in Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia), his family's move to South Africa, and, finally, his move to the US. His dedication to metabolic health advocacy using nutritional (and other) lifestyle interventions comes from his own personal story. A road traffic accident as a young man left him with a traumatic brain injury. Lucky to survive, his journey resulted in the discovery that a ketogenic diet could help his recovery. His passion for helping others drives everything he does, and through organising conferences, among other things, he has been instrumental in seeing TCR adopted by patients and practitioners alike. Get the science and the adventure; it's a riveting read!
