Summary
Over 20 years ago, Dr. Jeff Volek was taught that high-carb, low-fat diets were the key to optimal nutrition.
But, as Dr. Volek soon realized, this diet had just the opposite effect on health.
Instead of promoting a better quality of life, high-carb diets have led to incredibly high rates of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
It’s even contributed to a national security crisis, as you’ll learn in this podcast episode.
As a possible solution, Dr. Volek and his team of researchers started studying nutritional ketosis and they haven’t stopped two decades later.
You’ll hear what the latest low-carb diet research supports, where the future is heading, and so much more in this episode.
If you’re not familiar with Dr. Volek’s work, he’s a New York Times best-selling author, with five books under his belt.
He also has over 300 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and has given 200 lectures across the globe on this topic.
As a pioneer in this space, Dr. Volek is a wealth of knowledge and continues to study how nutritional ketosis and exogenous ketones can be beneficial to health.
And he shares his latest findings in this episode, which means you don’t want to miss it.
