Jimmy and Will answer your questions:

– Is there any research showing reversal of arteriosclerosis with keto and other lifestyle changes?

Hi Jimmy and Will,

I’m a big fan of the ketogenic diet and you guys consistently provide some of the best information about this way of eating online. I’ve been doing a lot of research lately on how to reverse arteriosclerosis since it seems most people have some varying level of this develop during their lifetime. I've seen people talk about things like taking magnesium and the MK7 variant of Vitamin K2, but these are only theoretical in nature. Is there any scientific evidence that this actually reverses the progression of heart disease? Is there any research that demonstrates keto and other lifestyle approaches help with this reversal of arteriosclerosis? Thanks again for your fantastic podcast.

– Is there any concern with an increased production of Acetyl-CoA when a Type 2 diabetic is eating keto?

Hey guys,

I have someone in my life who has a biochemistry background claiming that going keto is about the worst thing a person with Type 2 diabetes could possibly do because of excessive production of Acetyl-CoA and that it induces a state of ketoacidosis (which I know is flat-out wrong). When I inquired about the mechanism about how the higher Acetyle-CoA issue happens and what the end result would be from this, she responded with something about DNA damage being done on a neurological level. This doesn’t make any sense to me from what I know about healthy nutritional ketosis and I’d love to offer up a counterpoint to her arguments. She seems to be really confused and it would be great to help educate her on this. Thanks for your help!

– What is the best way to recover my gut health from three rounds of strong antibiotics?

Hello Jimmy and Dr. Cole,

I recently had a gastro event that my gastroenterologist put me on two strong antibiotics (Cipro and Flagyl) for. As a keto dieter, I was shocked when he recommended that I eat lots of pasta before having a colonoscopy. When I told him I eat for ketosis, he chided me by staying that diet is merely political and not actually based on any sound science. I’m almost sure I have leaky gut and declined having the colonoscopy since the antibiotics have surely almost entirely wiped out my gut flora. I’m now eating the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) and am doing well on it so far. I did have to take another anti...

Jimmy and Will answer your questions:

- What’s the solution to dealing with loose stools stemming from eating more calories and fat-based keto foods that normal?

Hi Jimmy and Dr. Vickery,

I’m a big fan of Keto Talk and I’ve listened to every episode since day one. I’ve been eating keto for the past four years and love this lifestyle. I’ve been constantly tweaking and refining what I’m doing to dial in the amount of food and macronutrient ratios that help me feel the best. So far so good.

But I will admit there are times on occasion that I overindulge in the amount of keto foods that I consume that puts more calories and especially fat into my body than my body would typically require. I can always tell when I’ve done this because I have very loose stools. I’ve listened to your show enough to know that is likely a result of eating more fat than I need or some gut health component.

The obvious solution is to stop doing that, but I’m wondering if there is anything I can do before, during, or after those times I have a bit more than normal to mitigate these side effects in my bowels. Thanks so much for your answer and keep up the great work!

– Does diabetic neuropathy ever get fully healed once blood sugar becomes stabilized from eating a ketogenic diet?

Hi Jimmy and Gus,

I have type 2 diabetes as a 51-year old male, 6’3”, 255 pounds (down from 326 pounds since starting keto seven months ago. My A1C has dropped from 7.8 to 5.2 and I came off all my diabetes medications four months ago. The only remaining physical effect I’m dealing with from my pre-keto days is a a slight neuropathy in my feet. Will this ever improve completely or is the nerve damage just too severe for even keto to help heal? Thanks for all you help on this journey because your show has been a real inspiration.

– Does taking an antibiotic cause the body to respond adversely during extended fasting?

Hey Jimmy and Dr. Vickery,

Thank you for being a sounding board for all things keto and fasting! It has truly inspired me in my own journey. I have been eating keto since the beginning of the new year and I’ve noticed this way of eating makes fasting for upwards of 24 hours very easy to do. I tried my first 72-hour fast this week to see how I’d do and the first 24 hours was a cinch. Day two was a challenge, but I already knew that from hearing Jimmy talk about this so much. I was anticipating the “euphoria” of day three, but at hour 58 I woke up feeling absolutely horrible. I took some salt, drank coffee, pounded water, and did my best just to walk on the treadmill for a mile tha...
