In this week’s podcast, we discuss the keto diet in detail. 

We first start with a discussion on what the biochemistry of ketosis really is. We then finish with a discussion of some of the reasons your cholesterol, specifically LDL, can increase on a ketogenic diet and why that’s a good thing.

To learn more about the benefits of the ketogenic diet, check out this week’s podcast.
