Episode 406: Keto as a Cure

Can keto be a cure or reverse disease in the body? Curious about the therapeutic benefits of keto beyond weight loss? Want hard scientific evidence to help you back up your keto lifestyle? Tune in to hear us define what it means to use ketosis as medicine for weight loss, regulation of neurological conditions and reduction of inflammation. Learn WHY keto works for conditions like diabetes and obesity, anxiety, infertility, and beyond and how to tweak your keto approach to achieve maximum benefit!

In this episode, we cover some of the most important mechanisms of a ketogenic diet when it comes to disease prevention and even reversal. From muscle sparing and fat burn to reduction of cravings to antioxidant activity and neuroregeneration, ketones can do some pretty amazing things. Learn about how a real food approach along with high quality supplements and lab testing can take your keto to the next level!
