Top 5 Keto Diet Considerations for Women

Dr. Brooke Kalanick, ND, is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and functional medicine practitioner. Today she talks with us about the ketogenic diet, specifically for women. The Keto diet has taken the world by storm, and is one of the most popular diets right now. There are different ways to implement it into your diet, whether you are vegan, vegetarian, plant-based, etc. there is a way to be keto. The benefits are great, and Dr. Brooke talks with us today about what women need to look out for.The top considerations for women are things like thyroid, estrogen levels, cortisol levels, and insulin resistance. To put it simply, we are not all created equally. Our bodies do not respond the same way to certain diets as others do. That's why Dr. Brook wrote her newest book, Hangry: 5 Simple Steps to Balance Your Hormones and Restore Your Joy. We have to get to know our bodies and what works for us before starting a diet. The keto diet is great! But, does it work the same for everyone? No. Listen in to hear Dr. Brooke break down these 5 considerations and how to know if a ketogenic diet is right for you.

The Hardest Part of Keto

Cody Myler is the owner and operator of NXT Rep Fitness, as well as the staff’s lead instructor. We talk with Cody about what the hardest part about a keto diet is. Cody talks about how he witnessed his parents join the keto movement a few years ago, and it seemed their diets consisted of merely bacon, eggs, and cheese. In his head, this did not seem like it could work or be healthy.Then he did his own thorough research on the diet and figured out there were healthy ways to do it. We talk about things like protein intake, ketosis, and knowing how much to eat for your body size. We are not scientists or nutritionists, and there is a plethora of information out there. Figuring out what information is verified and safe for you is tricky. That's why we have guests like Cody on the show, to break it down and simplify it for us.
