The Golden Age of Keto Genesis

The Emerging Science of Carbohydrate Restriction and Nutritional Ketosis 

On August 16-17, 2018 outstanding physician and scientific thought-leaders convened at Ohio State to highlight remarkable progress in the science of low carbohydrate nutrition. This symposium was concieved by the leadership team of Dr. Ken Ford, Dr. Ken Lee, Dr. Stephen Phinney and Dr. Jeff Volek. It was professionally run by Ms.Julie Manning and hosted by this Food Innovation Center. These must-watch videos were sponsored by Virta Health.

This comprehensive program ranged from basic molecular mechanisms of ketones as signaling molecules to practical treatments for cancer, metabolic, heart and neurological disorders. Scientists and journalists explored public policy and health guidelines that inhibit ketogenic treatments and examined the practical role of ketosis in ultra-endurance and professional sports. 

We post minimally edited videos to retain full content and intent. Click on any below or visit the Virta Health Blog. Four presentations are newly available as of 23 February 2019: Dr. Andrew Mente; Dr. Ron Krauss; Dr. Jake Kushner; and Dr. Tim Noakes keynote on The Lore of Nutrition. We thank you for your patience and acknowledge the great team effort that enables the golden age of ketosis.
