Low-Carb Dietary Intervention

One assisted living facility that adopted a real-food, low-carb diet reduced total prescribed medications by 47% across residents over nine months. Nine residents in the low-carb, real-food facility improved enough to be discharged home from assisted living entirely. Dementia patients in the dietary intervention facility showed measurable cognitive improvement on standardized tests including the MoCA and SLUMS, even those not well enough to be discharged. Standard assisted living facilities see medication counts only increase over time; the low-carb facility was the only one in the operator's experience where medications decreased. Dietary change as a primary intervention has over 8,000 documented success stories for chronic disease reversal, making it more than anecdotal.
