Jenna Jameson's keto diet may have affected her Guillain-Barré symptoms: dietitian - New York Post

Jenna Jameson’s keto lifestyle may have worsened her Guillain-Barré symptoms, according to a registered dietitian.

While the former porn star remains hospitalized as she recovers from the rare autoimmune disorder, Brigitte Zeitlin told The Post that living on a mostly high-fat, low-carb diet as Jameson is wont to do could have played a role in her severe symptoms that left her unable to walk.

“I do think it does play a role in how severe her symptoms are because she is likely undernourished given a severe keto diet,” Zeitlin said.

Given that meat and poultry are a large part of Jameson’s keto lifestyle, the BZ Nutrition founder said it could have been what caused the former porn star’s infection.

Zeitlin advised that a healthy lifestyle includes “all the food groups” because they “give your body a variety of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that you need to keep up a strong immune system to make sure that your nerves are communicating properly to each other.”.

According to the CDC, Guillain-Barré is a “rare, autoimmune disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages the nerves, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.” The symptoms can last from weeks to several years but most make a full recovery
