About the webinar:

In this presentation you will learn how a WFKD causes physiological changes at the systemic and cellular levels that reverse the root cause of most chronic disease – what I call the “Axis of Illness”: insulin resistance, inflammation, and obesity. The results of our studies indicate that a WFKD is a safe, effective, drug-free way to improve cancer outcomes. Furthermore, these same mechanisms address the root causes for other chronic diseases because they cause significant and enduring improvements in overall metabolic health.

By the end of this lecture, the clinician will be able to:

• Health and therapeutic benefits of a well-formulated ketogenic diet and the “Axis of Illness” for chronic disease
• The metabolic basis of cancer and general principle for a WFKD as an adjunct therapy
  - Cellular mechanisms for efficacy of a WFKD
• The KetoCARE study 
  - Design and methodology
  - Results and conclusions
• General conclusions
  - How to safely adopt a ketogenic diet (including appropriate supplementation)
  - Benefits for other chronic diseases
  - Metabolic commonality of chronic and neurological diseases.

David G. Harper, PhD

As a health educator and cancer researcher, David G. Harper has studied the impact of diet on human health for many years. The culmination of that extensive work is the BioDiet, a ketogenic food regimen that he created in 2012. The significant weight loss and health improvements he experienced led Harper to counsel hundreds of people on the BioDiet, in clinical trials and on a personal basis, with consistent, impressive results. BioDiet, released in 2019, has become an international best-seller. Harper is an Associate Professor of Kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley and a Visiting Scientist at the BC Cancer Research Center, Terry Fox Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in comparative physiology at the University of Cambridge. He is on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Canadian Clinicians for Therapeutic Nutrition and a member of the Institute for Personalized Therapeutic Nutrition.
