71 - Keto Curious: Tool or Trend

Are you curious about the ketogenic diet but overwhelmed by conflicting information? This episode explores the truth behind the keto diet, separating fact from fiction and dispelling common myths.

Key Points:

The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that puts your body in a state of ketosis, using fat for fuel instead of glucose.
Contrary to popular belief, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach and should be adapted to your individual needs and health goals.
While some demonize it, others hail it as a miracle cure. This episode aims to provide a balanced and nuanced perspective.
The episode covers:
- History of the keto diet, dating back further than the 1920s.
- How ketosis works and its potential benefits for various health conditions.
- The importance of metabolic flexibility and tailoring your keto approach.
- Common misconceptions and mistakes to avoid, like focusing solely on macros or relying on processed keto products.
- Tips for formulating a personalized keto plan, including real food choices, tracking macros, and electrolyte balance.
- The keto diet as a tool for healing and achieving long-term health, not just weight loss.

What to Do:

Consider adding the ketogenic diet to your toolbox, but prioritize individual needs and listen to your body.
Seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional if needed.
Remember, a healthy body releases weight naturally, and the keto diet can be a supportive tool in that journey.

73 - Digging Deeper: Root Causes Vs. Symptoms

This episode delves into the crucial difference between treating symptoms and addressing root causes for optimal health. Host dives deep into why focusing solely on symptom relief often leads to recurring issues and emphasizes the importance of uncovering the underlying reasons behind your discomfort.

Key Points:

Symptoms: Manifestations of internal problems, easily identified but not the actual issue.
Root Causes: Fundamental reasons behind symptoms, often hidden and requiring investigation.
Examples:
- Skin tags around the neck (symptom) indicate insulin resistance (root cause).
- Acne treatment often focuses on topical solutions (symptom) instead of gut health, hormones, etc. (root causes).
- Arthritis pain relief (symptom) doesn't address immune system imbalance or inflammatory foods (root causes).
- Digestive issues treated with medications (symptoms) ignore food sensitivities, gut microbiome, etc. (root causes).
- Colds are symptoms, not the issue itself. Address with immune system support, not just symptom-relieving meds.
Takeaway: While managing symptoms is essential, digging deeper to identify and address root causes is crucial for long-term health and preventing recurrence.
Actionable Tips:
- When experiencing symptoms, don't ignore them but don't stop there.
- Explore and investigate potential root causes through self-reflection, research, or healthcare professionals.
- Consider dietary changes, gut health support, immune system strengthening, and addressing inflammation.
- Remember, finding true health is a journey, take it one step at a time.

This episode emphasizes the role of food in holistic health and encourages identifying and removing inflammatory foods while incorporating those that support your body.
