Follow @ketogenicgirl on Instagram to see visuals and posts mentioned on this podcast. This episode is about Electrolytes, Water Retention, Protein & Ketones on Keto and Carnivore with Dr. Angela Stanton. Part 1 of 2 episodes, with part 2 coming out later this week. "My doctorate is in a field of neuroscience that incorporates several specialties with the focus on neurotransmitters associated with decision-making. Economic games and heavy mathematics are used in this field of research. My official degree is doctorate in Economics with dissertation in neuroscience. This field is referred to as Neuroeconomics. I now study how the brain and nutrition interrelate. I specifically focus on migraine as a channelopathy, where electrolyte imbalance induced by glucose sensitivity and carbs intolerance is causing havoc. My latest book "Fighting the Migraine Epidemic: A Complete Guide. How to Treat & Prevent Migraines Without Medicines" is available in paperback and e-book all over the world (https://www.amazon.com/Fighting-Migraine-Epidemic-Migraines-Medicines-ebook/dp/B076BZG2V3). I am currently working on a ketosis book (the various ways of eating, such as carnivore, ketogenic, and even the low carbs high fat, that can get a person into ketosis) that is custom tailored to migraineurs, because their reaction to nutrition is so different from others and because they need so different electrolytes. My focus is on the importance of electrolytes and nutrition for migraine-free (and medicine free) life."

Robert "Keto Savage" Sikes on High Protein vs High Fat Keto & More!
Hi friends! This episode is with Robert Sikes a.k.a Keto Savage! Robert & Crystal Sikes are EXPECTING! We talk about their news then dive into how Keto Brick has been expanding (watch the video link below here to see a new tour of the facilities!), then move on to High Protein vs High Fat Keto, how to get the optimal amount of protein for you, as well as what the macros and diet Crystal has been doing while pregnant! Robert Sikes, AKA Keto Savage, is a lifetime natural competitive keto bodybuilder. Using the ketogenic diet, he has seen consistent gains in building lean muscle mass, finding it to be much less stressful on the body than bulking and cutting the traditional way with carbs. Robert Sikes went from a 115-pound kid in high school to 230 pounds in college and started competing in 2010. A few years ago he began transitioning to a keto bodybuilding approach and found that his body recovered faster after competitions and that the ketogenic diet provided a much more sustainable and healthier way to building lean muscle. When not training, you can find Robert providing online coaching through his company Keto Savage. https://ketosavage.com/ Follow Vanessa on instagram to see her meals, recipes, informative posts and much more!
