My top lessons learned in 2020.

Keto, carnivore, fasting and one meal a day (OMAD) have taken the dieting world by a storm for the last few years. In 2017-2018 I was all over the ketogenic, fasting based diets. These diets work and they can provide easy weight loss for many people. 

But over the last few years I started seeing negative side effects from these diets. Including weight gain, thyroid problems, adrenal issues, anxiety, insomnia, hair loss, loss of menstruation and more!

I had to come up with a way to utilize these diets for their benefits without the negative side effects. 

In this episode I break it all down for you. 

  • why these diets work in the beginning
  • what does the research show when it comes to the best diets
  • how I use keto, fasting and carnivore in my own practice
  • what I started to witness in my own practice and membership groups
  • what the negative side effects are and why they happen
  • what I discovered that could allow women to get the benefits of these diets with the negative consequences
  • the evolutionary purpose of being able to produce and survive off ketones but what long term production signals to our bodies
  • what it does to our hormones and metabolism
  • what OMAD really is

and much more!
