BMX led me to Keto.
After multiple brain injuries, brain tumor diagnosis, and childhood trauma, I’ve been led to the ketogenic diet and lifestyle.
In short, a ketogenic diet turns your metabolism over from sugar burning to fat burning. It’s by-products, “ketones”, are able to pass the blood-brain barrier to provide an alternative and superior fuel source for the brain.
Sometimes, trauma to the brain can led the brain to become glucose-impaired, which means the brain can’t successfully utilize glucose (blood sugar) for energy even when carbohydrates are consumed.
For me, my journey with keto wasn’t about weight or body composition. It was and is about the health of my brain. Of course, body composition, sustained energy, recovery, stress management, and other cognitive benefits have occurred from prioritizing the health of my brain because a ketogenic lifestyle is about prioritizing health.
One of the things this journey living with 4 brain tumors has taught me is that health is internal. Not numbers on a scale or outside appearances. I’m a walking example of that.
Had I continued down the path of calculating health solely via numbers and physical appearance, and not fallen and hit my head that day, I wouldn’t be alive today. For that, I’m forever grateful to have such adversities that I see as opportunities. 💚✌️
