050: Dr. Anna Cabeca - How Keto Affects Women’s Hormones, Benefits of A Keto-Alkaline Approach, and More Strategies for Achieving Hormonal Balance

Are you a woman in perimenopause or menopause and have tried a low-carb ketogenic diet only to find that it made you irritable and gave you a case of the “keto crazies?” If this has happened to you, it doesn’t mean that keto is the wrong tool to use here. Rather, you may just be missing one huge component: alkalinity. Contrary to popular belief, becoming more alkaline doesn’t involve eliminating all acidic foods for alkaline-only ones. Instead, it means finding the right balance while striving to reach and maintain ketosis. Fortunately, thanks to this podcast episode with triple board certified physician Dr. Anna Cabeca that won’t be so hard to do since she’s sharing her top principles for becoming more alkaline on a ketogenic diet. This style of eating helped Dr. Cabeca reverse perimenopause so she could successfully have a child at age 41, and she continues to use these principles with success in thousands of women at her practice. Tune into the episode now to learn how to balance your hormones naturally so you can finally reap the positive benefits that come with a ketogenic diet.

046: Diane Sanfilippo - Keto & Paleo, Why Ketosis Isn’t About Fat Loss, and How a SAVVY Nutritional Approach Can Help

You may have heard of Diane Sanfilippo from one of her best selling books, Practical Paleo or The 21-Day Sugar Detox, but did you know she’s been using ketosis as a tool the entire time? Does that mean she’s switched from her paleo roots to full-time keto? As you’ll learn in this podcast episode, Diane’s approach is different. For one, it removes diet labels and encourages flexibility and finding the right diet to support your lifestyle at this stage in your life, even if this changes over time. She also uses a SAVVY way of eating and tracks her food in another more effective format instead of subtracting from an arbitrary budget of 1,200 calories per day. Diane shares her knowledge on these topics in an easy-to-digest format in this episode, where we also discuss why ketosis is not about fat loss and what else people get wrong about a keto diet. Check out the episode now to learn more about Diane’s concise approach and simple framework.
