🩺 Understanding Malnutrition & Ketosis

Malnutrition isn’t just about not eating enough — it’s about the body not getting the right balance of nutrients it needs to function properly. In some cases, the body enters ketosis, a state where it burns fat for energy due to a lack of carbohydrates.

While mild ketosis can be part of a healthy diet plan (like in some weight-loss programs), prolonged or severe ketosis due to malnutrition can lead to muscle loss, fatigue, and other serious health problems.

✅ Tip: Eat a balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables. If you’re losing weight unintentionally or feeling weak, it’s time to get checked.

Dr. Shelton and the team at Shelton Hospitalist Group provide expert evaluation and care to help restore your body’s nutritional balance.

🌿 Understanding Alopecia: Hair Loss Awareness & Care 🌿

Alopecia is a condition that causes hair loss, which can affect the scalp or other areas of the body. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, leading to thinning or bald patches.

While alopecia can be emotionally challenging, there are ways to manage it and promote hair health:
✅ Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and protein
✅ Reduce stress through relaxation and self-care
✅ Discuss treatment options with your healthcare provider — from topical solutions to advanced therapies
✅ Stay positive and seek support; remember, you’re not alone

At Shelton Hospitalist Group, we’re dedicated to helping patients understand their health and find the right care approach for their needs.

🩺 Understanding Ketosis: What You Need to Know

Ketosis is a natural metabolic state that occurs when your body doesn’t have enough carbohydrates for energy—so it burns fat instead, producing ketones as fuel. Many people achieve ketosis through low-carb diets like the ketogenic diet.

Potential Benefits of Ketosis:
✅ Supports weight loss by using fat as the primary energy source
✅ May improve blood sugar control and insulin sensitivity
✅ Can increase focus and energy for some individuals

Important Tips:
⚠️ Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting a ketogenic diet—especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or other medical conditions.
💧 Stay hydrated and replenish electrolytes to avoid fatigue and cramps.
🍃 Choose healthy fats—like avocados, olive oil, and nuts—instead of processed fats.

At Shelton Hospitalist Group, we’re here to help you make safe and informed health decisions that fit your unique needs.
