My WHY for a ketogenic diet and lifestyle is the health, performance, and resilience of my brain.
Beyond grateful for this experience taking place April 16th, 2010, which was a blessing in disguise as a BMX crash that led to an MRI accidentally discovering the first tumor after a year of suffering and being told “you’re fine and just have headaches. Take these pain pills”. Surviving brain surgery for a large tumor along with multiple concussions is why I’ve become passionate towards a ketogenic diet. “Ketones” are the by-products of burning fat and can fuel the brain in a powerful way helping preserve, heal, and protect our brain and overall health.
When you shift from “sugar-burning” to “fat-burning”, you create less inflammation, oxidative stress, hormonal disruption, disease risk, weight/fat gain, and improve your energy, sleep, and recovery.
Some people, like @ketomammoth , use a ketogenic diet to help successfully manage his daily seizures and reduce them to just one a week or so.
Some like, Joe Curcuru, have used the ketogenic diet to drop 75lbs, get off his type-2 diabetes meds, and reduce his risk for disease.
There are a host of things the ketogenic diet may help if approached in a healthy manner and it’s my role as an advocate and a coach to guide and support my clients and all of you to become equipped with the tools to empower you and your success.
I contributed a blog for the @ketogeniccom website telling my story and sharing my WHY more in depth and that’s now live!
