Episode 03 - the insulin360 podcast: this is the second part of my interview with Marek Doyle where we talk about some of the solutions in improving metabolic health: the benefits of the ketogenic diet, when to use it and when it may not be appropriate, some of the issues that people encounter when starting out and why some people experience issues when reintroducing carbohydrates. We also talk about some of the most common herbs that Marek uses in practice, the benefits of C8 MCT oil to aid in ketogenesis and more broadly the need for an individualised approach to healthcare that takes into account not only statistical, scientific advances but also the context of the individual and their own personal situation.
