Ketogenic diets show promise in clinical trials and case series for multiple neurological diseases, including epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, and Multiple Sclerosis. Now new data shine a light on how ketones can improve the signs and symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis through modulating the Microbiome. I’ll walk you through the data and highlight broad points to ensure this video is value to every curious scientist watching, not just those with interest in multiple sclerosis or neurological diseases.
