The Truth About Keto and Why I'm Not a Fan

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #28! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women’s hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel “off” but no matter what you do, you can’t seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life. 

In today’s episode, I’m covering a controversial topic: the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting for women. In this show, I cite credible medical sources, most notably Dr. Stacy Sims. We discuss for whom the keto diet was originally intended, what issues typically arise for women who follow this regimen, and what the research looks like on cycling females.
