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.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the Optimal |
| 0:07.2 | Protein podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa Spina, and I am so excited for today's episode. We are talking |
| 0:12.9 | all about fasted exercise versus fed exercise when you are doing a low-carb diet. And the results may surprise you in terms of what you |
| 0:24.2 | can achieve while being in the fed state versus the fastest state. And it may not be that different |
| 0:30.2 | if you are actually doing a low-carb or ketogenic diet. We're also going to be talking about |
| 0:34.5 | some of the implications for women. If fasted exercise is too stressful for some women, including athletes, |
| 0:43.4 | and if it actually has a negative effect on hormones, |
| 0:47.1 | there's a lot of fascinating research and topics to get into. |
| 0:50.9 | So on today's episode, we are going to discuss what the science truly says about |
| 0:56.5 | fasted exercise and the benefits with regards to our mitochondrial health and overall optimal health. |
| 1:04.3 | So with a quick word from today's sponsor, let's get into the episode. |
| 1:09.0 | Hi, friends. I want to tell you about a very important nutrient that many of |
| 1:13.7 | us are deficient in and not even aware of it. And that nutrient is light and specifically red light. |
| 1:20.8 | I am so passionate and obsessed with the incredible amount of science behind red light therapy's ability to support our mitochondrial |
| 1:29.9 | health. Now, our mitochondria, as you probably know, are responsible for helping us to do pretty |
| 1:35.1 | much everything in our bodies at the cellular level. Now, when it comes to energy levels, our |
| 1:42.0 | immunity, our skin health and beauty, and even our metabolic |
| 1:46.8 | health and fitness, so much is connected back to our mitochondria's ability to function optimally. |
| 1:53.6 | Now, we talk on this podcast all the time about different strategies from exercise, intermittent |
| 1:58.7 | fasting, doing resistance training, and getting lots of autophagy, |
| 2:03.3 | and all the science behind mitochondrial biogenesis or the creation of new mitochondria. |
| 2:08.0 | But one of the best ways to actually support our mitochondria is using red light therapy. |
