It’s just an old 'wive’s tale’ so you thought. The fact that if you have a bacterial infection fasting (being in ketosis) might just save your life. On the other hand, if you have a viral (flu) infection you might want to have a good meal. Learn How auto-phagy and being on a low carb high fat ketogenic diet will probably mean you get far fewer colds & flus then ever before. Clearly something to know about before the flu season is upon us.

This sounds pretty esoteric...Oxidative Priority...But it really means the order in which your body (you metabolism) must burn it’s fuel.  Alcohol is number one. It must be burned off because it can't be stored...But when you are ‘burning your alcohol’ you are NOT burning anything else...Your carbs are being stored immediately. This will be a fascinating understanding of why you blood glucose levels go down with a glass of wine, but also how you can create outrageously intense Glucose-keto index numbers if you are having any MCT oil or ketones at the same time. In fact you can achieve a G ..read more

My wife did this first…It was interesting how it changed the nature of our conversations about blood glucose in our lives. Then I did mine. Yes, it does appeal to that narcissistic self interest…But boy did I learn a lot more than I ever thought I would. And then there are the readings from other people….This opens a new door in understanding the what my be the ‘root cause’ for some many disorders and conditions. Join the conversation…It will change you. —————————COME SAY HI!!! ——————————  Facebook Group about Keto:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/  BLOG: https ..read more

It’s been at least 9 years since we began our journey on the Ketogenic diet. Learned a lot that I didn’t know when we started and the technology has most certainly changed as well. Put both of those together and it is an entirely different world in which to start Keto. I think you’ll get some insight bits of actionable recommendations when you listen to the story. —————————COME SAY HI!!! ——————————  Facebook Group about Keto:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/  BLOG: https://ketonaturopath.com/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ketonaturopath Y YouTube channel ..read more

I’ve always thought that what the world is sorely in need of today is critical thinkers. Now I realized it is not that they are not there, it is that their perspectives have been kept from the mainstream due to their ideas being perceived as a threat to some ginormous corporate interest that has kept it out of the headlines. This is such a story that will definitely affect you personally. If you know your homocysteine levels or know that they are high than you better listen up. Besides it is a very interesting story to hear...And who knows...It may also save your life. The Fall and Rise Of Kil ..read more

The question I keep asking myself is why is it we always hear about that some people can’t or don’t get positive results with a Ketogenic diet (aka Low Carb High Fat). Whether it is the Virta Health study or any one of various Obesity and Lifestyle Clinics around the country. It is pretty much common knowledge that about 50 % will get positive results, which usually mean weight loss or reversing diabetes. However that also means that 50% of those attempting the LCHF diet did not find any positive benefit for their efforts.  WHY IS THAT THE CASE? This discussion is about exactly that. Goin ..read more

There’s two concepts that drive my passion for learning about and helping people implement the ‘Keto’ life style, and those are:  1. In order to be healthy in a progressively unhealthy world we need to think and act differently, and2. In order help people regain their health ( weight loss in this instance) one needs to look where where others haven’t looked in order to see, to understand, what others haven’t seen or don’t see. My point is that things have become more complicated today in terms understanding obesity and weight loss than it was 50 - 100 years ago. Today’s podcast is about t ..read more

For some, this is the long a waited topic, conversation, that many feel represents their experience most accurately.  It's for the people who have endured the often unnecessary work of getting started with the Ketogenic diet only to have it become a thoroughly frustrating time and effort. For others, this might be too ‘granular’ in terms of talking about the specific variables required to create a successful outcome. For me it has become a realization in my ‘quest’ of how to have Keto work for everyone (barring specific medical conditions). The realization is that living in a progressivel ..read more
