Ketogenic: The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health, 1st Edition

Edited by Tim Noakes, Tamzyn Murphy, Neville Wellington, Hassina Kajee, Jayne Bullen, Sarah Rice, and Candice Egnos in partnership with Nutrition Network, Ketogenic: The Science of Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction in Human Health provides a comprehensive clinical curriculum across. Structured into four major parts spanning 11 chapters, the text grounds dietary intervention in evolutionary biology, human physiology, and nutritional biochemistry. It examines the mechanisms of physiological ketosis, energy substrate utilization, and the pathophysiological basis of insulin resistance across organ systems.

The volume details medical nutrition therapy for conditions encompassing endocrine disorders, cardiovascular disease, neurological pathology, cancer, musculoskeletal health, and gastrointestinal conditions. It further explores carbohydrate restriction for athletic performance, fasting protocols, and behavioral and ethical considerations in patient management. Illustrated with approximately 160 full-color figures, this first edition equips clinicians and nutrition professionals with evidence-based frameworks to treat chronic metabolic conditions.

Institutional Use

This title serves university medical schools, graduate dietetics and human nutrition programs, and academic health sciences libraries as a core reference for clinical nutrition, metabolic medicine, and lifestyle therapeutics. Hospital health systems, outpatient endocrinology clinics, and continuing medical education providers utilize the work for practitioner training in therapeutic carbohydrate restriction, diabetes medication adjustments, and metabolic patient management. Academic research facilities also acquire the text to support clinical trial designs in metabolic therapy.
