Should you "Go KETO"?

Join me while I pick the brain of our favorite Nutrition PhD, Dr. Adrian Chavez to shed light on the controversial topic of Ketogenic Diets. We get real about the differences and benefits among popular dietary trends today, talk about the scientific caveats, and even explore the dangers of some of the "over correction" of High Fat, Low Carb diets.

I'm excited for you to learn whether Keto may be a tool that could work for you!

Brain derived nuerotrophic factor increases when you exercise regularly (essentially keeping your brain young)

Your cerebellum density declines with age resulting in dimensia and alzeimers disease. The decline is slowed and even halted by exercise.

Exercise meets all levels of maslow's hierarchy of needs on the road to self-actualization. Very few things do that!

Exercise is one of the few things you can do in a day that exemplifies agency (making your life happen) rather than subject-hood (letting life happen to you)

Exercise makes you more resilient to stress at a cellular level by clearing out free radicals and increasing mitochondrial density.

Exercise makes us more insulin-sensitive and therefore better able to burn fat as a fuel source all the time.

Improved body composition lowers our risk for chronic disease and exercise plays a role in that.

Muscular atrophy is a fact of aging and exercise can slow and/or hault that keeping you younger longer.

Exercise can be a fun way to keep your family engaged, interacting, and alive together in a world where many are missing out on that connection.

Exercise when periodized properly can increase serum Human Growth Hormone which is essentially the biological fountain of youth.
