Introduction
Dismantle your toxic load. I mean that literally. It’s your Livers responsibility to take Xenobiotics (toxins) and convert them into a different chemical structure to be eliminated from the body. This vital mechanism is being constantly bombarded with a modern day lifestyle. Most people are exposed to over 100 different chemicals before even leaving the […]
Overview of the Ketogenic Diet
Introduction The ketogenic diet, or keto for short, is a high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate diet. Its primary goal is to promote the body’s ability to burn fat for fuel instead of carbohydrates. The ketogenic diet has been used for decades as a therapeutic intervention for certain health conditions, such as epilepsy, but has gained more […]
The Concept of Toxicity
There are over 80,000 chemicals registered for use in the United States and that number is estimated to grow by 1000 chemicals each year. As a result, numerous studies are not only demonstrating just how toxic our environment is, but how toxic we are, too. In fact, samples of blood, urine, and adipose tissue taken […]
How Does Keto Work?
Carbohydrates are usually the preferred source of energy production by our cells. When net carbohydrate intake is limited to less than 50g per day, insulin secretion is reduced and our glycogen stores become depleted, forcing the body to adapt to a different metabolic state. This new metabolic state works by shifting the body’s metabolism from […]

Understanding Macronutrients
Macronutrients are the nutrients that our bodies need in large amounts to maintain optimal health and functioning. The three primary macronutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and they play important roles in providing energy, building and repairing tissues, and regulating metabolic processes. Let’s discuss some of the basics of these macronutrients. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates, which serve […]
Low Carbohydrate Intake
The key principle of the ketogenic diet is to induce a state of ketosis, in which the body shifts from using glucose as its primary energy source to using ketones, which are produced from the breakdown of fat. To achieve this state, it is important to limit carbohydrate intake to a specific range. Carbohydrate Intake […]
High Fat Intake
Why Fat Intake is So High in the Ketogenic Diet One of the defining features of the ketogenic diet is its high fat intake. The macronutrients are often divided in the range of 60-80% fats, 20-30% protein, and 5-10% carbohydrates depending on the specific version of the ketogenic diet. This macronutrient composition is in sharp […]
