Are you curious about the ketogenic diet but overwhelmed by conflicting information? This episode explores the truth behind the keto diet, separating fact from fiction and dispelling common myths.
Key Points:
The ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet that puts your body in a state of ketosis, using fat for fuel instead of glucose.
Contrary to popular belief, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach and should be adapted to your individual needs and health goals.
While some demonize it, others hail it as a miracle cure. This episode aims to provide a balanced and nuanced perspective.
The episode covers:History of the keto diet, dating back further than the 1920s.
How ketosis works and its potential benefits for various health conditions.
The importance of metabolic flexibility and tailoring your keto approach.
Common misconceptions and mistakes to avoid, like focusing solely on macros or relying on processed keto products.
Tips for formulating a personalized keto plan, including real food choices, tracking macros, and electrolyte balance.
The keto diet as a tool for healing and achieving long-term health, not just weight loss.
What to Do:
Consider adding the ketogenic diet to your toolbox, but prioritize individual needs and listen to your body.
Seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional if needed.
Remember, a healthy body releases weight naturally, and the keto diet can be a supportive tool in that journey.

Join me as I welcome Kim, co-founder of Functional Fitness Solutions, to discuss the importance of functional movement for overall health and well-being. Kim shares her insights on how to avoid injuries, improve stability, and alleviate common pains like lower back and shoulder discomfort.
Here are some key takeaways from the episode:
Functional movement: Focuses on exercises that mimic everyday movements, strengthening muscles and improving stability for better function in daily life.
Start small: Consistency is key, even if it's just 5-10 minutes of exercise snacks like bodyweight exercises or yoga stretches.
Listen to your body: Don't push yourself too hard, especially when starting out. Modify exercises as needed and gradually increase intensity and duration.
Address pain: Pain is often a sign of muscle imbalances or movement dysfunction. Functional movement can help correct these imbalances and alleviate pain.
Common trouble areas: Shoulders, hips, and lower back are susceptible to pain due to repetitive motions and lack of proper strengthening.

Are you searching for an "easy button" for your health and weight loss journey? I totally get it! As the new year approaches, we often seek a quick fix to start it off right. 
 
All the posts of others' achievements have us feeling a bit lacking? But let's take a step back and remind ourselves not to compare our journey with others'. 
 
In this episode, we dive into the importance of focusing on the efforts we put in rather than the outcomes we desire. Life throws us curveballs, and while we can't control everything, we can control the effort we give. 
Listen in as I lay out the things needed to build a solid foundation for long-term success, there are a few key habits. 
Remember, there's no "easy button" when it comes to health and weight loss. But by focusing on these foundational habits and approaching your goals one step at a time, you'll make lasting progress. Let's support each other and make this year our best yet!
