A nutrient dense, ketogenic way of eating can be the foundation of your health and longevity. This lifestyle can help you alleviate chronic pain, lose fat while maintaining muscle mass, stabilize your blood glucose levels and lower inflammation.

What exactly is ketosis, and why do I want it?

At a very young age, we were taught all about the food pyramid, and we were convinced that we needed to eat so many servings of carbohydrates and so many servings of dairy in order to achieve optimal health.

Then we were told that fat was a villain and to replace real butter with processed margarine, among so many other fat-loathing misconceptions.

We were drawn closer to eating processed foods and farther away from naturally sourced and prepared meals.

We are designed to use different types of fuel for energy, but some fuels are more efficient than others. We are taught that glucose is the main source of energy in the body, but when we stop eating glucose, our body enters ketosis.

In ketosis, the body uses fat instead of glucose for fuel.
