And I just could not conceive of a world where a high fat, very low carbohydrate diet was a healthy diet.

Yeah, yeah. So I had a very negative perception of it. Now, how I ultimately found my way to it is after a couple of years of trying standard therapy for ulcerative colitis, I just, I wasn't getting better.

All the regular stuff, you know, first line therapies and then steroids for flares. And, you know, like I'd exit a flare and go into remission and then I just relapsed. which is obviously incredibly frustrating. It was just tearing at me from the inside. I just, I couldn't be a reliable person.

I couldn't say yes to offers that I wanted to say yes to because I just didn't know what would happen to me. I got very desperate and I started experimenting with things. I didn't think diet would help, but I had nothing to lose. So I started experimenting with diet because, you know, on a superficial level.

I tried paleo, I tried Mediterranean, I tried vegan, I tried, you know, pescatarian. Anything you can imagine, I've probably tried, along with the standard things like low FODMAP, specific carbohydrate. And I'd try them pretty rigorously for like a month or so. And then eventually I came to a ketogenic diet. And I just thought I'd try it because what the heck.

And what happened for me was my inflammatory markers dropped to the lowest they'd been. My disease started. I started feeling so much better, getting my energy back, getting my mind back. And then the next time I got a colonoscopy, I was in biopsy for permission. which was stunning. And I was forced to reconcile with the fact that this was my lived experience.

This has been my lived experience, despite the fact that it's not a quote, evidence-based approach. So a lot of what I've been thinking about with respect to metabolic health- The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
