In this episode we discuss:
  • Whether it’s stressful to be in a fat-burning, keto-adapted state

  • How blood sugar is regulated when we’re not eating carbohydrates, and how this impacts stress hormones and thyroid hormones

  • Whether having stable blood sugar levels on a low-carb diet is a good thing

  • The problems with elevated levels of glucagon, which occurs when someone is on a low-carb diet  

  • Why glucagon is a stress hormone and its impact on thyroid hormones
