Hello, my friend. It's episode 364 of the keto diet podcast. My name is Leanne Fogel. I blog over at healthfulpersuute.com.

I'm also the best-selling author of the keto diet and the keto diet cookbook keto for women. Oh, I'm a busy cowl.

And I'm so glad that you're hanging out with me today. We're going to talk about one of my most favorite topics and has been

for about a year and a half. We're going to be talking about parasites. And before you're like,

well, you already saw the title of today's episode is parasites. So probably you're here because

you're like, oh, gross. Maybe I have this. And one of my teachers says, if you have a pulse, you have

a parasite. So basically most of us have these things. And so I wanted to just go through

what they are, why they show up, who's at risk, and then how to know if you have them testing and

that sort of thing. And then protocols you can use to clear your body of these things and why.

I've put together a free download that you can use to kind of follow along with some of the items

that I'm sharing today. If you just go to healthfulpersuute.com slash parasites. Okay, I'll include that

link in the show notes today so that you can click there. But again, it's healthfulpersuute.com

slash parasites. And it will just take you through some of the options, symptoms, and things,

just like a really good guide on how to know if you have them and then what to do about them.

So before we get into all the details, I just want to preface that generally at this point,

if you feel like you have parasites, I would highly suggest chatting with a practitioner about

helping you with this, specifically a knowledgeable practitioner. It doesn't need to be me,

although I would love for it to be. I'll share a little bit of my story as we get into things about

how I found out I had a parasite, all the mistakes that I made, so that you don't make them too.

And sometimes it can be really, really, really helpful to have somebody alongside you.

Just because as you start to go on some of these things, having somebody who's knowledgeable

understands this stuff is never a bad thing unless you're a total nerd. And you love learning
