Sports nutritionist and best-selling author, Vanessa Spina, comes on the show to share why it pays to increase your protein intake on keto, not fat, and how this can benefit you both in terms of better health and body composition.

Vanessa also dives into what she learned getting her degree in sports nutrition, the misconception with cholesterol that’s still being taught in that course, and why she chose this speciality.

You’ll also hear about the biggest mistake women make when it comes to weight loss, how she transitioned out of a carnivore diet, who she recommends can benefit from a carnivore diet, and why our recommended protein intake is too low.

Vanessa was also nine months pregnant at the time this episode was recorded so she chats about what her pregnancy has been like and what she focused on nutrition-wise during this time.
