Summary
Hello my friends! This special holiday episode is about how the hormone Insulin traps fat inside our fat cells, and serves as a primer for Monday's episode with best selling author Gary Taubes! We specifically talk about one research team featured in the book who uncovered a threshold for insulin in the body and how above this threshold, fat is trapped in our fat cells, and below this threshold, our fatty acid turnover or fat burning is high. I hope you enjoy the episode! π

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].
