Ketogenic: The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health has been selected as one of Doody's Core Titles® for 2024 in the field of Nutrition. This book presents the most up-to-date and evidence-based science and research available in the field of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction (TCR), with the purpose of training medical and allied healthcare professionals on the effective therapeutic use of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic nutrition in clinical practice.
The book explores the appropriate, safe, and effective use of TCR to improve patient outcomes in a broad range of chronic metabolic conditions and aims to promote health. Focused on lifestyle management, health support, and the treatment of diseases rooted in poor nutrition, this book explores the role of food and lifestyle modification as medicine, making it a valuable resource for nutritionists, dietitians, and medical professionals who provide diet-related counselling, as well as those researching or studying related areas.
One of the key features of the book is the presentation of new best-practice guidelines for using TCR to treat, improve, or reverse nutrition-related metabolic conditions and diseases that were previously thought to have a chronic, irreversible progression. This information is crucial for healthcare professionals looking to implement effective, evidence-based strategies in their clinical practice.
Additionally, the book provides an overview of the most recent evidence outlining the biochemistry and physiology pertaining to human nutrition and health, offering both evolutionary and historical context to human nutrition. This comprehensive approach helps readers better understand the underlying mechanisms and the rationale behind the use of TCR.
The book also contains clinical practice guidelines for the implementation of TCR from medical practitioners who prescribe TCR in their practices, allowing readers to understand real-life concerns and challenges in the field. This practical information is complemented by case studies that provide examples of how to assess, monitor, and intervene with patients that practitioners encounter in their practices.
Lastly, the book explains the physiology and biochemistry of the normal and pathophysiological state for each condition and links these to the application of TCR. This approach helps healthcare professionals gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which TCR can be effective in the management of various metabolic conditions.
Overall, Ketogenic: The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health is a valuable resource for medical and allied healthcare professionals, researchers, and students who are interested in the therapeutic use of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic nutrition in clinical practice. Its comprehensive and evidence-based approach makes it a must-read for anyone seeking to stay up-to-date with the latest developments in this rapidly evolving field.
