While I do believe that eating good quality foods is so important, it is not always the answer to great health.  In fact - you may be eating some of the best quality foods on the planet (nutritional wise) but it could be a horrible food for your body.

Curious what I mean? In this weeks episode, I dive into allergies and intolerance, specifically how the body and the immune system forms an antibody-like response to certain factors (including foods, environmental factors, animals, etc.)

It is truly fascinating to keep digging for answers and find a simple answer in the way you feel may be from the foods you eat.

It is my honor to be joined by Dr. Robert Kiltz this week to chat all about how what you eat impacts your health.  Dr. Kiltz is a renewed fertility doctor who talks about how diet makes a huge impact on your fertility and overall health.  In this episode, we debunk myths about beef and butter, and if they are really to blame for health issues.  We chat about why plants are toxic, the benefits of fasting and even why we should love fat.

Be sure to tune in to hear all that Dr. Kiltz has to share and connect with him on his platforms.

About Dr. Kiltz

Dr. Kiltz is a renowned fertility doctor featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Parents Magazine, The Today Show, and more for reducing the cost of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) to 1/3 the National Average and helping shape the future of reproductive medicine.  Dr. Kiltz is a Diplomat of the American
Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Fellowship trained and Board Certified in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. 
 
Dr. Kiltz is the founder, director, and practicing physician at CNY Fertility. He is a previous clinical faculty member at UCSF Medical School and a current clinical faculty member at University of Syracuse Medical School. Dr. Kiltz is a passionate advocate of the ketogenic/carnivore diet for fertility and overall health and wellness. Through decades of clinical practice, hediscovered that infertility (and virtually all other
diseases we humans suffer from) are caused primarily by the foods we eat and the frequency at which we consume them.   
 
Dr. Kiltz believes that optimal human nutrition is obtained from eating a carnivore diet centered around fatty animal foods. Eating this way provides optimal nutrition while avoiding unhealthy carbohydrates, vegetable oils, and plant toxins. Ideally, this is combined with intermittent feasting, eating one meal a day (OMAD). 
This has inspired him to share how eating the B.E.B.B.I.S. diet and evolving one's lifestyle habits can vastly improve fertility and overall health through his keto carnivore support community,  Kiltz Mighty Tribe. 
 
Dr. Kiltz has a prolific blog in the keto carnivore space and has published several different books on a variety of topics including his most recent cookbook collaboration with Maria Emmerich, the Keto for Fertility Cookbook.  He also launched his own line of grass-fed, pasture-raised, nutritional supplements, Doctor Kiltz Nutritional Solutions. 
 
Dr. Kiltz hosts an interview series, Carnivore Conversations, which is broadcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast platforms.  Carnivore Conversations is a radical and enlightening examination of how the keto/carnivore diet can help to improve a wide range of complex health and environmental issues contributed to by the Standard American Diet (SAD).
 
In addition to his own media channels, Dr. Kiltz appears regularly on numerous popular blogs like DietDoctor.com and social media outlets, has shared his views as a speaker at TEDx, and is a frequent speaker at fertility and dietary conferences.

WeNatal's formula is composed of 100% clean ingredients, carefully chosen to include nutrients that others may overlook, such as choline.
