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 Fast Keto. I'm your host, Ketogenic Girl. |
| 0:05.7 | Did you know that your body can actually be either a sugar burner or a fat burner? |
| 0:12.0 | On this podcast, we talk all about how to make your body a fat burning fat-fueled machine |
| 0:18.0 | 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, |
| 0:45.2 | all of these amazing tools that center around making the body a fat-adapted fat-fueled machine. |
| 0:52.4 | With this in mind, I present interviews to you with biomedical scientists, |
| 0:56.6 | physicians, and people from all around the world who have experienced remarkable results from |

I'm sure |
| 1:45.9 | it's going to be shut down again in the new year. But I've been running around doing errands before I |
| 1:51.6 | leave and getting some personal errands done. And it has been really hectic. So this episode this week is |
| 1:59.5 | coming to you guys on Saturday and today we're |
| 2:01.8 | going to talk all about insulin a little bit more and do a little bit of a primer to the episode |
| 2:06.7 | on Monday with Dr. Jason Fung. So I was so excited to finally have him on the show and when an episode |
| 2:14.5 | has a lot of information in it, sometimes I like to do these primer episodes |
