We are pleased to welcome Stephen Phinney, MD, PhD to present at Mountain Minds Monday: The science of low carb diets: reversing diabetes and enhancing sports performance
While low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets have recently
gained popularity, problems with proper formulation and adherence have
overshadowed the scientifically-supported improvements shown for both health
and sports performance.
Dr. Stephen Phinney, MD, PhD, co-founder and Chief Medical
Officer at Virta Health, will explain how when well-formulated ketogenic diets
are combined with virtual continuous care, compliance is high and the risks and
expense associated with type 2 diabetes can be reduced.
He’ll also discuss how the research supports the use of the
ketogenic diet for ultra-endurance competitive athletes who do not thrive on
the traditional carbohydrate-loading approach to the sport.
Dr. Phinney has spent 40 years studying diet and exercise, has
published over 80 papers and 4 books. He received his MD from Stanford
University, PhD in Nutritional Biochemistry from MIT, and did post-doctoral
training at the University of Vermont and at Harvard.
Mountain Minds Monday will be held on Monday, July 9th
from 6-8 pm at Pizza
on the Hill, in Tahoe Donner located at 11509 Northwoods Blvd.,
Truckee. Pizza and salad is available and we use a pay-what-you-can model ($5
minimum). Before and after the presentation, there will be time for networking.
The event will also be livestreamed and available online as
it happens on YouTube: bit.ly/YouTubeTSM
This month’s event is sponsored by New Leaders, Holland & Hart LLP, Molsby & Bordner,
