Description: 

Low-carb and keto diets can help people lose weight and improve their metabolic health. However, many clinicians are concerned with that amount of fat and lack of carbs in low-carb diets and fear they will raise LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk.

However, studies show that, on average, those starting a low-carb or keto diet for weight loss or for treating type 2 diabetes do not see a rise in their LDL. Instead, they see an increase in HDL, decrease in TG, and an improvement in blood sugars and insulin sensitivity. The net result is a decrease in calculated cardiovascular risk. 

That being said, a minority of people following low-carb diets do see a rise in their LDL, especially the leaner, more physically active individuals. It may be important to approach these individuals differently than a metabolically unhealthy individual on a high-carb diet. Putting the LDL changes into the context of their overall health progress can help reframe how to address their cardiovascular risk.

In the end, if a clinician wants to help their patient reduce their LDL while still following a low-carb diet for metabolic health and weight loss, numerous strategies exist that may be helpful. These include nutritional changes, supplements, and prescription medications.

Obesity and sleep have a complicated relationship. Disrupted sleep is a risk factor for developing or worsening weight problems, and overweight and obesity are well-known contributors to sleep problems. Because of the potential for the development of a cycle of weight gain and sleep deprivation, understanding and identifying the link between weight and sleep is essential for those treating patients with obesity.

Are you new to obesity medicine and wondering how to treat obesity first in a primary care setting? Learn from Thomas George, DNP about implementing the Obesity Algorithm in a busy, rural, ten-provider family medicine-obstetric clinic. This webinar discusses the process, pitfalls, and practical application of establishing a "practice within a practice" to provide evidence-based, patient-centered care for clients with pre-obesity and obesity. What began as a process improvement project quickly became a valuable resource for our community and a viable revenue line for our clinic.
