Dr. Stephen Phinney on bennifits of Nutritional Ketosis

On November 25th 2014 Dr. Stephen Phinney presented this Workshop at Epworth Hospital in Melbourne to outline some of his research on Low Carb, High Fat nutrition and to give audience members the opportunity to ask questions.

Here are my Rough Notes:

What if you have your Gallbladder out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ATDvhZQo4A#t=901
The gallbladder stores bile and the bile is needed to digest and absorb fats it like having an income with no savings account. If you have a big fat meal 50-80grams of fat you can overwhelm your digestion tract which you’ll know from GI symptoms. The strategy will be to spread the fat out as it is much easy to absorb emulsified fats than than liquid oil. So making foods with emulsified fats like cheese rather than the oils will give you better absorption capability than just putting butter (luqid fat) which needs to be broken down and should be mixed into an emulation to be broken down. (Trial and Error approach)

Calcium by itself is a laxative If combined with magnesium slow down digestion and if in slow release matrix help.

Why humans don’t make Vitamin C
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q73pSx98Fc#t=856
Interesting how most animals in nature make their own vitamin c but humans don’t.

Very interesting about the Vit C not in Steve’s current books is about the benefits of against oxidative stress is turned on in a keotgenic state.
