Summary
Are you a woman in perimenopause or menopause and have tried a low-carb ketogenic diet only to find that it made you irritable and gave you a case of the “keto crazies?”
If this has happened to you, it doesn’t mean that keto is the wrong tool to use here. Rather, you may just be missing one huge component: alkalinity.
Contrary to popular belief, becoming more alkaline doesn’t involve eliminating all acidic foods for alkaline-only ones. Instead, it means finding the right balance while striving to reach and maintain ketosis.
Fortunately, thanks to this podcast episode with triple board certified physician Dr. Anna Cabeca that won’t be so hard to do since she’s sharing her top principles for becoming more alkaline on a ketogenic diet.
This style of eating helped Dr. Cabeca reverse perimenopause so she could successfully have a child at age 41, and she continues to use these principles with success in thousands of women at her practice.
Tune into the episode now to learn how to balance your hormones naturally so you can finally reap the positive benefits that come with a ketogenic diet.
