Emerging Science of Carbohydrate Restriction and Nutritional Ketosis
In-Person Event
Aug 16 - 17, 2018
Columbus, Ohio, USA
OVERVIEW
Emerging Science of Carbohydrate Restriction and Nutritional Ketosis is organized by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (OSUMC) and will be held from Aug 16 - 17, 2018 at Blackwell Inn, Columbus, Ohio, United States of America. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Description :
An impressive body of scientific evidence over the last 15 years document long term benefits of carbohydrate-restricted, especially ketogenic, diets. We now understand molecular mechanisms and why they work. Popular books and articles now challenge the advice ‘carbohydrates are good and fats are bad.’ Circa mid-19th century urinary ketones were identified in diabetics sealing their toxic label for the next 150 years. Despite work 4 decades ago showing ketones were highly functional metabolites, they are still misidentified as toxic byproducts of fat metabolism. The vilification of fat by regulatory and popular dogma perpetuates this myth. But the nutrition-metabolic landscape is improving dramatically.
The last 15 years of science has vindicated dietary fat. A mass of scientific evidence now links ketones to proven positive outcomes. Carbohydrate restriction and nutritional ketosis have known chronic and acute health benefits. The planning committee identified 5 major professional practice needs for understanding of:
• Basic mechanisms of carbohydrate restriction and ketones.
• Clinical management of type-1 diabetes, type-2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia with low carb and ketogenic diets.
• Clinical applications of low carb and ketogenic diets in cancer.
• Clinical applications of low carb and ketogenic diets in neurology.
• Applications of low carb and inducing ketosis for boosting human performance and resilience.
Conference Objectives are :
At the conclusion of this activity, learners should be able to:
• Define the key components of a ketogenic diet and basic terms such as nutritional ketosis, ketoadaptation, ketoacidosis, ketogenesis.
• Explain how betahydroxybutyrate functions as both a metabolite and a signalling molecule.
• List molecular targets of ketones that relate to expanded healthspan and improved health.
• Describe how keto-adaptation affects diabetes management.
• Identify how carbohydrate restrictions affects circulating lipoprotein profiles.
• Describe the status of preclinial and human data supporting a role of nutritional ketosis in the management of cancer.
• Relate how brain metabolism changes during nutritional ketosis and it's application for managing neurological disorders.
• Describe various responses to carbohydrate restriction that may improve human physical performance and resilence.
• Compare and contrast use of exogenous ketones versus keto-adaptation resulting from a ketogenic diet.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
