The ketogenic diet has become a massive practice, all thanks to its evidence-based effects on weight loss. If you want to transition into a state of ketosis, Dr. Dominic D’agostino shares how fasting can help speed up the process. Dr. D’agostino is an associate professor and a research scientist with a laboratory that is currently focused on developing and testing metabolic-based strategies for the treatment of seizure, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. In this episode, he discusses the relevance of nutritional ketosis and fasting that goes beyond weight loss. He reveals science-based facts on how fasting and ketosis are playing major roles in combating these neurodegenerative diseases and aiding in the treatment of cancer patients.
“It’s important to maintain a ketosis state because it’s really turning down many of the drivers of cancer growth.”

| 0:34.5 | but before we jump in, |

| 1:16.9 | They make some of the world's best health products. |
| 1:20.0 | And I really love their Essential C Complex, which is one of the only immune-boosting products on the market that's made from whole food sources of |
| 1:28.2 | vitamin C that your body can effectively absorb. You see, most vitamin C products only contain |
| 1:34.7 | a fraction of vitamin C called acorbic acid. This is the synthetic form of vitamin C and it's often |
