Keto is all the rage!
One need to look no further than their local grocery store to find keto cookies, ice cream, and other keto delicacies.
Keto has skyrocketed in popularity due to its ability to work for weight loss.
Many people swear by the diet’s ability to work to shed those unwanted pounds when nothing else will.
Oddly enough, the ketogenic diet was first discovered by Dr. Russell Wilder in 9121 as a treatment for epileptic seizures.
He would probably be rolling around in his grave, if he knew people were flocking by the millions to his diet to lose weight.
Hmmm… maybe or maybe not?
There’s a huge difference in internet keto and therapeutic keto. Internet keto is wildly popular and can be found on any search engine by those wanting to shed a few pounds and inches.
Therapeutic keto, on the other hand, isn’t going to win a popularity contest. It requires the dieter to be more precise with protein, stingy with carbs and not overdoing it with the fat.
Therapeutic keto is, in a sense therapy for those searching for relief for conditions such as cancer, epilepsy, and metabolic syndrome.
Today, we delve into therapeutic keto and see how one woman saved her life using the ketogenic diet.
Who is Allison Gannett
Alison Gannett was diagnosed with terminal malignant brain cancer in 2013, and given 6.8 months to live with standard of care.
After a partially successful surgery, she found Dr. Nasha Winters, utilizing her metabolic approach and new treatments to reverse the root causes of her cancer.
The radical changes to her diet and lifestyle, produced stunning results that confounded her doctors.
Inside The Episode
I recorded this segment a year ago. The ketogenic diet is still going strong. There are still some people who don’t know the advantages of using the keto diet not only for weight loss, but for overall health.
I can still remember when I heard Allison’s lecture where she referred to low carb vegetables… I thought aren’t all vegetables were low carb? I found out the they weren’t and she explained exactly why.
