Summary

This episode of the Phoenix Helix podcast looks into the pros and cons of ketogenic diets, with expert guests Dr. Terry Wahls and Dr. Paul Jaminet. Ketogenic diets are an ongoing source of debate in the paleo community. Some people say they are the cure for all ills. Others say they are dangerous and should be avoided. Today, we take a balanced look. Are all ketogenic diets alike? What does the science really say? Who can benefit most from ketosis? What are the cautions? If you do decide to try it, what's the best way to make the transition? This episode will help you decide if ketosis is right (or wrong) for you.
