Summary

I'm so excited to share this interview with Dr. Will Cole! Dr. Cole is a functional medicine doc whose new book, Ketotarian, offers a mostly plant-based approach to the ketogenic diet that's much healthier than the traditional bacon and bunless burgers regimen.

I've been on the ketogenic diet for a few years and I value Dr. Cole's approach -- it's compassionate, research-driven,and balanced. Plus, it was a real treat for me to bounce all of my keto questions off of someone! I got to ask Dr. Cole -- Is the ketogenic diet really suitable for everyone? What's the science and history behind it? What's his advice for balancing the strict aspects of keto without going overboard into orthorexia? If you're in overall good health, how can keto be beneficial to you? We also talk about soy, lechtins, fancy cows, and the importance of self-compassion when approaching any eating plan.

0:00.0	Hey everyone I'm Andrea Ferretti and this is episode one 23 of Yoga Land.
0:04.4	Today I'm so excited to welcome Dr. Will Cole to the podcast.
0:11.8	Will Cole is a doctor of functional medicine and he is the author of the new book
0:16.0	Kedotarian which combines the ketogenic diet with a mostly plant-based approach.
0:23.6	I actually discovered this book probably six to eight months ago
0:27.4	when I was sitting on my couch one night
0:30.2	looking for a ketogenic cookbook on Amazon and I just couldn't find anything that looked
0:38.8	palatable to me and then I found his book and it was sort of it was like a pre-release, you know, this book will be published on this date.
0:48.0	Click here if you want to order it and I was really excited because it looked great and if you are at all familiar with the
0:56.7	ketogenic diet you know that that in some ways it feels really anachronistic
1:01.4	because it's there's a lot of emphasis on eating a high
1:06.6	amount of fat which makes sense that is an integral part of the diet but there's
1:12.0	also because of that, a lot of high-fat meats are encouraged.
1:18.6	So his approach to me is just much more in line with a yoga lifestyle and much more in line with

1:31.5	body, being conscious about the long term.
1:34.0	I've mentioned my own experience and reasons for doing the ketogenic diet in previous
1:39.0	podcasts just briefly. I will tell my own story at the end of this podcast in case you are interested in hearing it.
1:46.2	I won't I won't front load it too much because I want to get to the interview.
1:50.4	But I will say just right up front that I started doing the diet for very specific health reasons and I've always kind of wondered as it's gained momentum and become really really popular and everyone's
2:04.0	sort of talking about it and people always ask me about it if they know I do it as it's
