"My foremost passion is to explore the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of metabolic therapies, particularly fasting and ketogenic diets, in creating alternative metabolic states that may lead to improvements in symptoms, function, and quality of life for people with neurological disorders."

"Metabolic Strategies in Healthcare: A New Era"

Abstract

Disease-centric Medicine
Modern healthcare systems are founded on a disease-centric paradigm, which has conferred many notable successes against infectious disorders in the past. Our disease-centric paradigm regards these disorders as distinct disease processes, caused and driven by disease targets that must be suppressed or eliminated to clear the disease.

Health-centric Medicine
Today’s leading causes of death are dominated by non-infectious “lifestyle” disorders, broadly represented by the metabolic syndrome, atherosclerosis, cancer, and neurodegeneration. By contrast, a health-centric paradigm recognizes the lifestyle disorders as a series of hormonal and metabolic responses to a singular, lifestyle-induced disease of mitochondria dysfunction, a disease target that must be restored to improve health, which may be defined as optimized mitochondria function.

Metabolic Strategies Restore Health
Seen from a health-centric perspective, most drugs target a response rather than the disease, whereas metabolic strategies, such as fasting and carbohydrate-restricted diets, aim to restore mitochondria function, mitigating the impetus that underlies and drives the lifestyle disorders.

Evidence in New Science
Substantial human evidence indicates either strategy can effectively mitigate the metabolic syndrome.

Preliminary evidence also indicates potential benefits in atherosclerosis, cancer, and neurodegeneration.

Given the existing evidence, integrating metabolic strategies into modern healthcare systems should be identified as a global health priority.

Link to the Science

Too few people read the science. It's not a mystery. Especially on topics that interest you, you can read enough to get important new understanding. Then you need to talk to your doctor, registered nurse, or perhaps your chemist. Here is the link to the science.

Matthew Phillips Talk on Parkinson's Dietary Study

Matthew C. L. Phillips (70 minutes)

Published by:Parkinsons New Zealand - January, 2019

Is there an “optimal” diet for Parkinson’s? This question has been debated for years. On one hand, low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets may increase brain dopamine, an important chemical deficient in Parkinson’s. On the other hand, a high-fat, low-carbohydrate “ketogenic” diet may enhance the brain mitochondria that produce energy for brain cells.

Mitochondria's Role in Alzheimer's - with Dr. Matthew Phillips

Dr David Perlmutter (28 minutes)

Published by:DavidPerlmutterMD -

As many of you are aware, the ketogenic diet has been demonstrated to enhance mitochondrial function. As such, it should be considered as a candidate for treating a disease like Parkinson's. In fact, this is the subject of a recent interventional trial in which actual Parkinson's patients were placed on a ketogenic diet, under the direction of Dr. Matthew Phillips.
