<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-text-align-left"><blockquote><p>Recent studies suggest that keto could have promising results for patients with Parkinson’s disease, kidney disease, cardiovascular concerns, and migraines.<br></p></blockquote></figure>



<p>While keto isn’t anything new, more and more research continues to be done showing its benefits, and telling us more about how it works in the body. Let’s take a look at some recent studies and what contributions they’ve made to the growing field of keto research.</p>

<p>A recent case study published in the <em>Journal of Metabolic Health</em> found that keto led to improvements in non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s—including chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and more. The author (Melanie M. Tidman) recommended further studies to learn more about the impact of nutritional ketosis on Parkinson’s patients.</p>

<p>One study published in the <em>Clinical Kidney Journal</em> determined that keto has “clinical utility” in treating patients with kidney disease. It also went so far as to say that kidney health providers are typically not trained in dietary interventions, and their hesitance to recommend keto is “largely based on misconceptions and outdated studies.”</p>

<p>One of the old keto myths is that it is not very heart healthy. A recent study from <em>Frontiers in Nutrition</em> supported other research that shows this is not the case—stating that elevated LDL cholesterol in patients following a ketogenic diet does not place them at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease.</p>

<p>Just this spring, another study from <em>Frontiers in Nutrition</em> suggested that a very low carb diet (alongside adequate electrolytes) could support the hypersensitivity of the migraine brain. The author called for more studies to be done, pointing out that treating migraines with keto would be an especially beneficial way to treat migraines—touting its long-term sustainability and other benefits for the brain and body.</p>
