Steven Gundry
In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry reveals the biological mechanism behind keto diets, focusing on a cellular process called 'mitochondrial uncoupling.' He explains that ketones are not the sole fuel source and that a very low-carb diet can lead to muscle wasting and poor cognitive health.

The book is grounded in cutting-edge science and includes food lists, hacks, and new recipes, making it accessible for those who have tried and failed on traditional keto diets, as well as vegetarians and vegans.
