Prior to beginning a ketogenic diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a ketogenic diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a ketogenic diet[, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A ketogenic diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet].

and engaging your full metabolic flexibility. I'm Vanessa Spina. I am a

0:23.4

sport nutrition specialist, a biomedical science student at U of T, and I am the author of the

0:31.5

best-selling cookbook keto essentials available on Amazon and creator of the Ketogenic Girl Challenge

0:37.0

program. And I am obsessed with

0:38.9

optimizing our health through all these different biohacks, ketogenesis, intermittent fasting,

all of these amazing tools that center around making the body a fat-adapted fat-fueled machine.

1:48.1

on seizures, the neuroprotective effects, and inducing really stressful environments like

1:55.1
