The Revero Method is a root-cause approach to treating chronic metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, as well as inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. It includes personalized nutrition therapy, biomarker tracking, and ongoing medical care.
For metabolic conditions, we treat type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, and primary hypertension.
For autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, we treat several gastrointestinal issues, skin conditions, and musculoskeletal listed below.
For gastrointestinal conditions, we treat Crohn’s Disease, Ulcerative colitis, Celiac disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).
For skin conditions, we treat Psoriasis, Eczema, Acne, Chronic urticaria, and Rosacea.
For musculoskeletal conditions, we treat Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Chronic back pain, Lupus, and Psoriatic Arthritis.
Revero’s approach is designed to address the root causes of metabolic and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, by reducing insulin resistance and inflammation.
Revero patients will receive continuous tech-driven remote support from Revero in coordination with medical providers who help to safely manage and potentially reduce medications.
Unlike the traditional model care, our patients do not have to wait a long time to get their providers to review their biomarker outcomes. Our clinicians continuously monitor patient’s daily biomarker inputs to provide a personalized clinical and nutrition plan based on individual demographics and health conditions.
Medical Supervision: A metabolic specialist provides continuing support, supervision, and safe reductions in prescription medications.
Coaching: A supportive health coach will guide patients on their journey toward better health by answering questions, helping to create healthy habits, and keeping the patient accountable.
Biomarker tracking: You’ll be recording your biomarkers using weight scales and possibly a glucose meter and blood pressure monitor, so that you and your care team can monitor the trend in your values over time.
Personalized nutrition: Revero’s nutrition therapy is designed to help stabilize blood sugar, improve gut dysfunction, and reduce inflammation.
Online telehealth clinic: You can talk to your healthcare provider or coach from the comfort of your own home on an on-going basis.
On-demand Resources: A precise online program with access to an extensive library of resources whenever you need it.
Everything you will need to educate yourself, create good habits and measure your improvements is available to you daily through a personalized online experience:
Personalized nutrition therapy: Our nutrition therapy is designed to help reduce inflammation, reduce insulin resistance, and restore health in an effective and sustainable way
Educational Content: You will gradually increase your education through video guides and learn the science behind the approach to Revero’s program.
Biomarkers Tracking: As a Revero patient, you will input your data consistently, which will help guide your care team to ensure your success and safety.
Chat With Care Team: You will have ongoing access and secure communication with your care team to troubleshoot, brainstorm, and discuss questions you have along your journey.

Revero is dedicated to helping patients understand metabolic, inflammatory, and autoimmune health, while making lifestyle changes in a sustainable way that reduces the need for medications. Revero’s clinical and nutrition protocols are designed to treat inflammation and metabolic syndrome, potentially reducing or eliminating their need for prescription medications under the supervision of our medical care team.
We want you to do this safely, achieve success, and implement our program in a sustainable way. We don’t recommend making changes to any of your medications on your own. While following a low-carb, ketogenic diet, you will need day-to-day monitoring. This is provided to you via the Revero app and by your Revero care team. Long-term success comes from understanding how our plan works and implementing it with our help and guidance.
Revero core nutrition therapy is a low-carb diet which is designed to help patients reduce inflammation and achieve nutritional ketosis— when your body primarily burns fat instead of sugar from carbohydrates.
Your Revero program is personalized based on your unique factors, and will be further fine-tuned by eliminating or reintroducing certain foods over time based on your demographics and health conditions.
Revero’s starter kit comes with the essential tools you will need to start your health journey:
If you’re a diabetic, your kit will include a glucose monitor, testing strips, lancets, and alcohol swabs. If you have high blood pressure, your kit will include a blood pressure cuff. You’ll receive a food scale, electrolyte packets, and urine ketone test strips.
You and your provider will have a telemedicine call upon enrollment and monitor your progress through the app as your health improves. This also includes check-ins and follow-ups as necessary.
Your Revero medical provider will manage your prescription medications that are related to the Revero scope of treatment. They will also monitor your biomarker inputs to look for trends throughout your Revero health journey, providing personalized care
Your Revero coach helps you find success in many ways:
Nutritional Expertise: If you are unsure about a certain food, need recipe ideas or are curious about the science behind low-carb nutrition, your Revero coach can answer those questions.
Building Good Habits: Knowing what to do is one thing, but incorporating good foundations into your life could leave you struggling. Your coach can help you create long-lasting positive habits by helping you fit this program into your lifestyle.
Support & Encouragement: Your Revero health coach is here to support, encourage and celebrate with you — from the beginning to your ultimate health goals.
Feedback & Accountability: Your Revero coach will review your biomarker inputs and work with you to troubleshoot any issues, keeping you on track and motivated.
Supporting Your Goals: Because everyone has different individual needs, your Revero coach helps you do what works best for your goals.

A low-carbohydrate, or ketogenic, diet is a way of eating that limits the intake of dietary carbs to less than 30 grams per day. It is higher in healthy saturated fats, primarily sourced from animal fats, and high in protein.
There are a variety of whole foods that are available to those following a ketogenic diet including meats, seafood, eggs, some vegetables and fruits, dairy and fats like butter, ghee, tallow, coconut oil, and avocado oil.
Each individual has a carbohydrate tolerance and therefore it varies but normally carbohydrates are limited to 30 grams per day or less. This limit will lead to nutritional ketosis within a few weeks.
Nutritional ketosis is when your body responds to a low-carbohydrate diet by mainly using fats for fuel, in the form of ketones. It has been shown to improve inflammation, blood sugar stability, and weight loss.
A personalized care plan, based on your individual biomarkers, is safe. If you are taking any prescriptions, your Revero medical care team will work closely with you and your primary doctor to ensure your safety as your need for those medications can change quickly.
Ketosis occurs when you significantly reduce dietary carbohydrates to under 30 grams per day, and your body begins burning fats for fuel, as ketones, instead of primarily using carbohydrates.
Yes. Among the physical signs of fat adaptation, ketone production can initially be measured by using urine ketone test strips at home. Once your body is very accustomed to ketosis, however, it will be using those ketones for fuel and you may not see them in your urine.
Revero uses a low-carbohydrate diet to treat the root causes of systemic inflammation by eliminating phytotoxins, allergens, processed foods, sugars, and seed oils, restoring gut health, nourishing the body with proper nutrition, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory compounds from insulin resistance, and providing the anti-inflammatory properties of ketosis.
Ketones are the primary fatty acid molecules — beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate — created by the liver by breaking down fats. Your body makes ketones when you restrict access to carbohydrates (glucose) or glucose stores (glycogen). Ketogenesis is the formation of ketones.
This is the process in which your body changes from running primarily on glycogen (glucose via dietary carbohydrates) to healthy fats as its energy source.
Becoming fat adapted is a long-term metabolic state in which your body has switched from burning glucose to using fats for energy.
While the human species is very diverse, eating an ancestrally appropriate diet is a great starting point for everyone looking to be metabolically healthy. A well-formulated low-carb diet has been shown to reduce inflammation and metabolic syndrome, which can be useful for patients suffering from chronic metabolic diseases.
Yes. A well-formulated ketogenic plan is safe and can help achieve success for metabolic health.
For most, a ketogenic diet improves cholesterol numbers but for some people there are temporary rises in cholesterol that occur during weight loss. These can be discussed with your Revero medical care team.
Yes. By following your Nutrition plan, an increase in your salt intake can be done modestly as it does not raise high blood pressure and you will be under the supervision of your Revero medical care team.
Yes. Well-formulated low-carb diets have been shown to help with weight loss and more importantly in your overall health. The rate of the weight loss is dependent on a few factors which you can discuss with your care team.
Saturated and monounsaturated fats from animal sources are best. Those include beef tallow, bacon grease, butter, olive oil and avocado oil. It is best to avoid oils that come from canola, soybean, cottonseed, corn, grapeseed, sunflower, and safflower. These oils are higher in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can lead to inflammation
The purpose of your gallbladder is to act as a storage vessel for bile. Bile helps with the digestion of dietary fat. If you’ve had your gallbladder removed, you may find that digesting high amounts of fat at one time is difficult. It is safe to eat fat, although many people in this situation tend to eat leaner meats or find that consuming fats is easier when they are spread out during the day.
The flu-like symptoms that many people suffer in the first few days or sometimes weeks of becoming keto-adapted are typical of someone who is restricting their dietary carbs. Symptoms can include lightheadedness, fatigue, headache, constipation, and nausea. This is also the phase in which many people experience rapid weight loss as the body switches from retaining salt and water to expelling it. While exciting, it is important to replace the salt and water to avoid the flu-like symptoms by making sure to consume plenty of salt and electrolytes (sodium, potassium and magnesium).
The recommendation is to take 3,000-5,000 mg of sodium and 2,000-3,000 mg of potassium as needed if following a low-carb diet. This will also help to avoid flu-like symptoms as well as limit muscle cramps.
No, it is not required. Because a ketogenic diet is based on eating whole foods it is not necessary to take supplements as the nutrients in real food are better absorbed than those found in supplements. If you live in a hot and humid climate, or exercise and sweat excessively, it may be beneficial to use an extra electrolyte packet an hour before perspiring.
While each individual differs, the recommendation for most people is to eat roughly between 1.5 to 2 grams of protein per kilogram of ideal body weight to maintain lean body mass. Your individual program will include a protein recommendation based on your unique factors. This information will be provided in your app.
It is possible, but difficult to follow a ketogenic plan catered to a vegetarian or vegan diet. Please consult with your Revero care team.
There can be benefits in consulting non-starchy, low-carbohydrate vegetables due to providing some fiber which helps during the transition phase as well as minerals. Homemade bone broth can also help provide additional potassium and magnesium.
While there are advantages for some people consuming a high carbohydrate diet to use fiber supplements, that isn’t the case for those eating a well-planned low-carb diet since it includes fiber from low-carb vegetables.
It is common for many people to suffer a bout of diarrhea. This can occur during the initial keto-adaptation phase while your body releases the toxins associated with the withdrawals from the standard Western Diet. Constipation is not a common side effect of eating a low-carb diet. The changes people experience stem from no longer needing to eliminate frequently or in large quantities.
Hair loss is not common when adhering to a well-planned ketogenic, low carbohydrate diet. Hair growth is cyclical during a 24-month period, including shedding. Rashes can occur as your body detoxes from the high-carb foods and processed chemicals standard in the Western diet. By adhering to a ketogenic diet, you will be constantly supplying your body with the required amino acids, minerals and vitamins through whole food sources.
There are pros and cons to supplementing with whey protein while on a ketogenic diet. Whey has essential amino acids, yet produces higher insulin secretion than other proteins like meat and eggs. It also is depleted in potassium, magnesium and phosphorus and not a complete protein like meat, fish, eggs, or poultry.
Sugar is highly inflammatory to human metabolic health. Blood sugar increases dramatically when you eat sugar, which triggers an insulin response by your body. Insulin, an essential hormone, moves sugar from your blood into your cells to be used for energy. It is then stored as glycogen or made into fat. When insulin remains high, it blocks your body’s ability to use stored fat — making it difficult to lose weight. High sugar diets have also been associated with chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart failure, strokes and high blood pressure.
It is best to stay away from foods that require added sweeteners on a ketogenic diet. There are some acceptable sweeteners such as liquid stevia, monkfruit, and Xylitol. Sticking to low-carb, low-sugar fruits like berries is a better option.
