Well, hello there. I hope you're having a wonderful day. This is episode 305 of the Keto diet podcast and today we're chatting about a lot of things.

I have my very dear friend Vanessa Spina on. She's a sports nutrition specialist who recently completed a two-year biomedical science program, the University of Toronto, and the best-selling author of Keto Essentials.

She is an international speaker, host of the popular fast Keto podcast and founder of Keto Genic Girl with online audience of over half a million.

Vanessa and I go way back. She's brilliant. I love that she was like, I don't understand this. I'm just going to go back to school and figure it out.

I just, she's so inspiring. I love the work that she does. And today we're just talking about diets, like how to know when it's time to change, signs that we look for, and really understanding that what worked for you a couple of months ago,

a couple of years ago is probably not what your body needs now and just pushing those limits, whether it be carnivore or keto or strength training or reverse dieting or understanding carbohydrates as fuel.

And what I really, really love is last time I saw Vanessa in person, she was eating a very, very strict ketogenic diet and very minimally, you know,

carbohydrates and all that stuff to kind of see her evolution, talking about reverse dieting and training and eating a whole bunch.

It's just so crazy to see how much can change when we just allow our bodies to, to navigate for us.

So if you really, really enjoy this conversation, Vanessa has been on the show before episodes 83 99 and 182.

So this will be her fourth time on the podcast. I love hanging out with her. I think you're really going to enjoy the show also.

Vanessa, how are you?

I'm so good, Leanne. It's so nice to see you. It's, it's really been way too long.

It's been a really long time. I don't even know what you've been up to. So why don't you share with us who you are, what you've been up to and we'll take it from there.

Sure. So I'm going to see Spina. I'm an author like you. I wrote a book about keto and I've been doing my podcast for I think just over two years now.

It's kind of my favorite thing that I get to do every week is talk to awesome people like you and geek out about this keto and all this stuff.

And I've been running a keto program for several years and I never thought I'd end up doing this. I used to work in finance as a news anchor and I totally switch gears.
