Welcome to Fast Keto. I'm your host, Ketogenic Girl.

Did you know that your body can actually be either a sugar burner or a fat burner?

On this podcast, we talk all about how to make your body a fat burning fat-fueled machine

and engaging your full metabolic flexibility. I'm Vanessa Spina. I am a

sport nutrition specialist, a biomedical science student at U of T, and I am the author of the

best-selling cookbook keto essentials available on Amazon and creator of the Ketogenic Girl Challenge

program. And I am obsessed with

optimizing our health through all these different biohacks, ketogenesis, intermittent fasting,

all of these amazing tools that center around making the body a fat-adapted, fat-fueled machine.

With this in mind, I present interviews to you with biomedical scientists,

physicians, and people from all around the world who have experienced remarkable results from

following a low-carb or ketogenic diet and getting their body into ketogenesis. So I hope you

guys enjoy these interviews with this goal in mind.

Welcome, everyone.

I am so excited for today's episode.

I had the honor of having Dr. Ben Bickman back on the show with us today.

And I so, so enjoy getting to have him on.

I think this is probably his third time on Fast Keto. And every time we get to go a little bit deeper. Today we are starting off talking a little bit about some of

the incredible theories that he presented in his new book. We talk about the connection between

insulin resistance and some major diseases out there, such as heart disease and sort of diseases that we don't usually connect and diseases that we don't usually connect with insulin resistance.

We talk about some of the most controversial topics in the low carb space because as usual,

I love to ask my guess about high protein versus high fat, gluconeogenesis, what spikes insulin.
