This is a clip of a sit-down interview with Nicholas Norwitz, PhD that was recorded during Metabolic Health Summit 2024. It can be watched in its entirety on our CME-centered medical education platform, The Metabolic Initiative: https://membership.metabolicinitiativ...

Here's what he covers:

After developing inflammatory bowel disease in college, he embarked on a dietary exploration that concluded with remarkable improvements in his symptoms upon adopting a ketogenic diet.

This experience not only shifted his perspective on nutrition science but also led him to focus his career on making metabolic health mainstream.

Nicholas discusses his unconventional experiment comparing the effects of Oreos versus statin therapy on LDL cholesterol levels, showcasing surprising results that Oreos significantly lowered his LDL cholesterol by 71% in 16 days, outperforming statins.

He explores the phenomenon of lean mass hyperresponders and delves into the lipid energy model to explain this and initiates a broader conversation on the implications for metabolic health.

By challenging conventional approaches and pushing the boundaries of nutritional science, Nicholas aims to foster a greater understanding of metabolic health's importance and how diet, exercise, and lifestyle are fundamental to maintaining it.
