Ketogenic diets are all the rage these days, but what is ketosis? Should you try to achieve it? If so, how? Tina & Leah talk facts about the ketogenic diet, what it is and what it isn’t.
What does it mean to be in a state of ketosis? And, most importantly, does the ketogenic diet have anti-cancer effects?
There are studies out there on the ketogenic diet in people with cancer, and we stick close to the data in these studies. There is plenty of theory around why a ketogenic diet should be useful (and we love a good hypothetical), but the ketogenic diet is not to be taken lightly. There are even some cancers where it should be avoided completely.
Join Tina & Leah as they discuss the details of the ketogenic diet for cancer.
