COVID-19 & Metabolic Syndrome - How Can Keto Help Our Global Pandemic? with Dr David Harper
In today’s episode we are joined by Dr. David G Harper, who I’m very excited to share will now be appearing on the show as a regular guest. We discuss COVID-19 and metabolic syndrome, and how keto can help our global pandemic. We explore insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, inflammation and the additional comorbidities that increase your risk of COVID-19 by 12 times. We take a deep dive into the mechanisms behind ketosis, the relevance of this for inflammation and immunity, the cell signaling role of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), how this impacts the cytokine storm and so much more. David is an absolute wealth of knowledge and I’m sure you will listen to this episode multiple times and help us spread this critical knowledge far and wide.
