Doctor states that the comorbidities linked with cytokine storms (the worst situation for Covid patients) all have a root factor in common: elevated leptin andr leptin resistance.

Recommends if you have elevated visceral fat levels (most commonly associated with "apple shape" or "beer belly" like I have) , you need to diminish your leptin levels through diet immediately.

High fat
Moderate Protein
Low Carbs

Basically meat, fish, eggs, and nutritious veggies. Leptin levels take time to regulate to desired levels but can be cut in 1/2 in a day or two. No processed foods.

Says the advice will not be popular because no drug companies stand to make $$$ off of dietary changes.

Hmmmm...... Ivor "The Fat Emperor" Cummins

so the advice to lower Leptin is go Keto immediately ?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But I don't think there is any plausible scientific evidence there is any truth to this. From my brief look.

Which is why I put hypothesis in the thread title. I mean at some point doctors ruined the life of the man who thought washing hands between surgeries would be a good idea, so to start a discussion I see no problem kicking things off with calling this a hypothesis.

I think before this is all said and done, we are going to hear all kinds of scientific wild ass guesses.

Why the hand? I get it. Not criticizing you. Just my opinion about his hypothesis.

Keto has been berry berry good to me, but I'll be the first to admit that a lot of keto advocates are obnoxious and full of bs with their claims.

none of which would make sense for China.

Don't trust China, China is *******. Not saying this guy is right, but China data is absolutely the Russian judge of Covid data. Throw it all out and adjust accordingly.

Sounds like anti-carb zealot BS.
