The ketogenic diet is often seen as a “radical” approach but in actuality ketosis is a natural metabolic state that is necessary for survival. Not only that, ketosis enhances quality of life and whole body health via its neurological, inflammatory and metabolic benefits. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki break down their approach to real food keto and how you can use ketosis as medicine to achieve optimal health.    In this episode, Ali and Becki discuss the polarizing nature of the ketogenic diet and break down why keto is NOT a new or novel approach. In reality, getting into a state of ketosis is an adaptive mechanism and human beings are designed to be hybrids in order to survive in times of lack of food. That said, not all ketogenic diets are created equal and the use of keto products riddled with non-caloric sweeteners and GMO corn derivatives have no place in a real food diet. Learn about new research in the application of the ketogenic diet for neurological conditions, mood disorders and beyond and how our balanced approach to keto can support your health goals!    Also in this Episode: Virtual Food As Medicine Ketosis Class - Starts January 8th - GRAB YOUR SPOT NOW!
