Awakening Aphrodite 178. Doing Ketogenic Right: Secrets to Customizing Holistic Nutrition and Making It a Lifestyle with Maria Emmerich
Have you heard of the ketogenic diet or ever considered trying it for yourself?
The keto diet is widely ostracized for misconceptions about what it means and how it impacts the body. Today's guest will address those misconceptions and fill you in on how to fill yourself for high energy and radiant health without giving up on the foods you enjoy the most!
I have the honor of presenting Maria Emmerich, one of the biggest names in the ketogenic diet space. She struggled with her health and weight throughout childhood which led her to become a passionate nutrition expert. Maria specializes in brain neurotransmitters and how food can improve mental wellness – which is one of the things I love about her because that’s one of my favorite topics! Her expertise has sent her around the world speaking about ketogenic diets and I was fortunate enough to accompany her on a group trip to Italy in 2017 where we instantly hit it off.
Maria has helped thousands to not only lose weight but also get healthy and reduce and eliminate medications, normalize hormonal issues, heal diabetes, mood problems, high blood pressure, autoimmune disorders, skin problems, anxiety, depression and even MS. She has also cooked with Halle Berry and writes for Halle’s website and is one of the most prolific authors I know with over 20 cookbooks!
