Metabolic Freedom With Ben Azadi Eric Reynolds aka Keto Five-O | How The Ketogenic Lifestyle Helps With PTSD KKP: 414
Today, I am blessed to have here with me Eric Reynolds. He uses a meat-based carnivore diet with minimal herbs and spices to recover from PTSD and drop the last of his extra body weight.
Eric was a cop with the Boynton Beach Police Department near West Palm when he got shot in the foot by an armed bank robber they were chasing, and he ended up killing the suspect in the process. The whole incident left him in a pretty bad way, and he started to display many signs of PTSD. He discovered the keto diet, and not only did his health improve drastically and all the excess weight melt away, but he found peace and tranquillity began to return to his life, and his symptoms of PTSD start to fade.
He has since retired from the force and is now committed to helping other police officers get their health back and help them deal with similar problems to his. He has established an organization called Keto-Five-0.
In this episode, Eric opens up about the shooting that changed his life while working at the Boynton Beach Police Department. As a cop, Eric was overweight, unhealthy, and experiencing signs of PTSD. After learning about a ketogenic lifestyle, Eric lost weight, increased his energy levels, and improved brain function. Tune in as Eric speaks about the inpsprition behind his Keto Five-O resources and how he helps improve the lives of active and retired police officers.
