Welcome to the Shaline Show. Shaline is a New York Times best-selling author, celebrity fitness trainer, and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

Hey there, welcome to this edition of the Shaline Show. I know you've been hearing a lot about going keto or the ketogenic diet or ketosis.

And wondering what the heck it's all about. What is ketosis? Why is it that everyone's going crazy for this especially lately?

And isn't it just an updated version of the Akinz diet? Well, I know you have these questions and this is a really important topic and that's why today I wanted to share with you one of the experts who I've relied very heavily on in creating the 131 method.

Now just for clarity sake, I want you to know that the 131 method is not a diet and it's not a ketogenic diet but we do explore different approaches for you to figure out what is the best dietary approach to give you optimal results.

The 131 method is specifically a program designed to help you break the diet cycle and find a way to eat. That's it's really designed for you. To learn more about that, you can go to 131 method dot com.

Now, ketosis has incredible health benefits but the ketogenic diet sometimes gets a bad rap. People tend to go about it in all the wrong ways just like they do any diet craze.

You know, loading up on low quality meats, low quality proteins and fats and you know, there are people who do a ketogenic diet and do it by driving through drive-droids.

Like there's a good way to do these things and then a not so healthy way. But in this episode, what I wanted to do was break down the science and the research behind ketosis and what it is you need to know about ketosis.

So I bring to you one of the most renowned experts on the subject, Dr. Dominic Diagostino. He's a tenured associate professor at the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida.

He is also a renowned researcher and scientist at the Institute of Human and Machine Cognition.

It's Dr. Dom who top notched nutritional companies go to to help them develop metabolic and also ketogenic supplements.

He also happens to be a crew member of NASA's Extreme Environment Mission known as Operation 22. Doesn't that sound like the next Tom Cruise movie?

Well, Dr. Dom's experience and expertise is not a matter of fiction or movies. In fact, his research and expertise is supported by the US Office of Naval Research, the Department of Defense and private organizations and countless foundations.

When it comes to hardcore facts, the ketogenic diet and ketogenic supplements, Dr. Dom is the go-to expert.

In this interview, Dr. Dom will answer for you what is ketosis? What's the ketogenic diet all about? Where did it come from and how can this help people and who can this help? What facts are truly essential? How do you get into ketosis? Are we supposed to be in ketosis? What's the difference between fasting and nutritional ketosis?

And what are the effects on hormone imbalance like PCOS, anxiety and depression when people are following a ketogenic diet?

That and so much more. Dr. Dom is a brilliant researcher and he's devoted to human performance. So I know you're going to love this episode.

Well, Dom, thank you so much for joining me. I really appreciate you being here today. Thanks for having me, Shulian.

Yeah, this is exciting. It was a long wait because I've been stalking you for months and months and apparently you were underwater in a submarine or something.

I hadn't had received that reply back from anyone up until now.

Yeah, actually that was, I was a crew member on what was called the NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations and NEMO for sure.
