More Medication Is Not The Answer to Chronic Illness | Dr. Shawn Baker & Chris Gloude

Chris Gloude, APRN, has been a nurse practitioner for 6 years. Prior to that, he worked as a paramedic and nurse, with a total of 17 years of experience in the medical field. He currently practices in cardiology and also has experience in internal medicine. Chris has personally struggled with obesity since childhood. His journey with the ketogenic and later carnivore diet began after being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2015. He was initially prescribed oral medications, which only worsened his symptoms. It wasn't until a colleague introduced him to the ketogenic diet that he began to feel better. Over the years, he followed the diet intermittently but consistently felt his best while adhering to it. In addition to his physical health challenges, Chris also struggled with depression and anxiety, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, he was prescribed Lexapro and Xanax. It wasn't until he fully embraced the ketogenic lifestyle that he was able to successfully wean off these medications and achieve lasting improvements in both his physical and mental health. Chris is currently working in cardiology, a field where the ketogenic diet is often viewed with skepticism. However, he draws from his personal and professional experience to take a different approach. He incorporates knowledge of nutrition, stress management, and overall health to engage patients in meaningful conversations about the root causes of their symptoms. Rather than defaulting to testing or medication, he prioritizes lifestyle changes and shared decision-making to create a more personalized and sustainable path to wellness.
