Ketogenic diets are increasingly used by individuals at risk of diabetes, yet questions remain about their long-term safety and impact on cardiovascular health, immunity, and overall nutrition. Providing clinicians with clear, evidence-based guidance is essential to support informed, patient-centered dietary counselling.
To address this need, PLP partnered with the Office of Lifelong Learning and the Department of Endocrinology at the University of Alberta to deliver an online learning event on ketogenic diets. Held on November 23, 2023, the session featured Drs. Cathy Chan, Caroline Richard, and Rose Yeung, and explored current evidence related to cardiovascular health, immunity, the impact of inflation on food choices, and considerations around saturated versus unsaturated fats.
