About this episode

Welcome to the Dr. Shawn Baker Podcast. In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. Andrew Koutnik, a leading researcher in the field of biomedical sciences with a strong background in exercise physiology. Dr. Koutnik shares his insights as a type one diabetic who has dedicated his career to researching this condition, particularly the effects of low-carb and ketogenic diets on exercise performance and diabetes management.

In this discussion, we dive into the controversial claims surrounding the potential for low-carb and carnivore diets to prolong the honeymoon period in type one diabetes. Dr. Koutnik provides a comprehensive overview of the current treatment landscape, including the promising developments in immunomodulatory drugs and their potential to extend the honeymoon period for patients.

We also explore the significance of glycemic control and its relation to long-term health outcomes for diabetics, comparing the roles of technology and diet in managing blood glucose levels. Dr. Koutnik shares his personal experience and knowledge, drawing on ten years of data from his own life to illustrate the impact of a low-carb diet on diabetic health over the long term.
