More Than Just Keto

A special hour long episode.

What began as an episode titled, Weightloss Is Hard, that we were recording 2022, for Season 2 ...became a special that we decided needed to be aired in Season 1.

We discuss our experiences as we navigated through the pandemic. We had very different experiences.

We do NOT speak of mandates, masks, vaccines nor politics. This is not what our podcast is about.

This podcast is about our experience with our health - mentally physically and emotionally and this is what this episode is about. How we handled 2020 mentally, physically and emotionally.

Balance.... we love it! Why do we love it? Because we KNOW what if feels like to be off balance AND we know what it feels like to be balanced. We both learned how to create it for ourselves.

Join us as we share out experiences turning chaos and disorder - to balance and healthy behaviors.

Our special guest, Ashley's mom - Dianna, has been living with type 1 diabetes for over 30 years. She began living the ketogenic lifestyle just over 4 years ago.

Listen to her tell her story about her experience with taking control of her own health despite what doctors/nutritionists were suggesting to her.

Spoiler alert - they recommended the standard American diet along with insulin. Dianna did that for many years until she decided to be her own health advocate, which started with her own personal research.

This is definitely a favorite episode of ours. We highly recommend you listen in and gain a WEALTH of information.

We are back with part 2 on the topic of how food can heal - and can hurt.

More stories about how we found that limiting sugar and chemicals in our diet has increased our health and reduced ailments we once had.

Some say - don't demonize sugar.

Some say - sugar is the enemy.

We have had this discussion and for us, it is ALWAYS going to come down to this with ANYTHING - how is it going to leave me feeling?

Is it going to contribute to my well being?

Is it contributing to my discomfort.. be it physically, mentally or emotionally?

Tune in and hear our experiences and views on sugar.

These are situations that will likely come up for you at some point if you are sharing your journey on social media...and you will make a decision as to what you will do.

Social media can be AMAZING. But also, social media can feel like pressure and can cause you to go a different route than what you intended. It will always be up to you how you handle social media.

In this episode, Ashley and Molly share their experiences on social media and how they handle these types of situations that come their way.

To exercise or not to exercise when living a ketogenic lifestyle. What do you think? Well, we have thought a lot about it. We are both fans of exercise NO MATTER what way of eating one chooses. And we have lots to share on the topic.

Are you on a diet? Are you living a lifestyle?

There could be a time for a diet - #sweatingforthewedding or a vacay coming up - and if one wants to diet and shed a few pounds for those occasions, it's their prerogative. It's also a realistic idea.

If, though, you are one with more than 20 pounds to lose, perhaps you want to begin living a healthy lifestyle. There is a difference in the two.
