Your body has two fuel systems—and you've probably been stuck on the wrong one your whole life.

Ben Nordemann, founder of Go Keto, joins us to break down the ketogenic lifestyle in the most digestible way possible (pun intended). If you've ever wondered why you feel tired, foggy, or can't lose that stubborn belly fat, this episode is your metabolic wake-up call.

What You'll Learn:

1. The two fuel systems: glucose (from carbs) vs. ketones (from fat)
2. Why constant snacking creates "glucose poisoning" and insulin resistance
3. The magic number: Under 30g of carbs = your body switches to burning fat
4. Why your brain PREFERS ketones over glucose (and what that means for brain fog)
5. Keto flu is real—but it's temporary and manageable

Mind-Blowing Fact: Babies are born in ketosis. This isn't some trendy hack—it's how our bodies were designed to function.

The Metabolic Health Connection: High carbs → High glucose → High insulin → Cells close the door → Body stores excess as fat. Keto breaks this cycle.

Three Ways to Measure Ketones:

1. Urine strips (cheap, fast, less precise)
2. Breath meters (one-time purchase, no ongoing cost)
3. Blood testing (gold standard for accuracy)

In this new episode of ‘Narratives of Purpose’, Mariatheresa Samson Kadushi and Shamala Hinrichsen join host Claire Murigande to discuss the innovative app "SheHer" designed to advance women's health by providing accessible healthcare information and fostering a supportive community.

Both Shamala and Mariatheresa emphasise the importance of centring women's dignity in healthcare, highlighting the disparities that still exist in the industry.

They share their personal journeys into the health tech space and the biases female founders encounter when seeking funding, illustrating the broader societal challenges that persist even in progressive sectors like health tech.

By collaborating and leveraging their diverse backgrounds, Mariatheresa and Shamala, together with their three co-founders, aim to revolutionise women’s health and encourage others to join in this vital work.

This episode encourages a rethinking of how healthcare solutions are developed and delivered, advocating for a model that prioritises the voices and needs of women, particularly those from marginalised communities.

Are discounts and promotions helping your business thrive, or are they quietly cutting into your profits?

In this episode of Live with The Pricing Lady, we’re getting real about something many businesses struggle with—how to use discounts without damaging your bottom line or your brand.

Sure, discounts can drive quick sales and attract new customers, but are they really aligned with your long-term goals? I’ll break down how these tactics work in different industries—like retail and consumer goods, where they can really pay off, versus luxury brands or professional services, where they can do more harm than good.

We’ll also talk about some common traps—like discounting because you're unsure of your value or not analyzing profitability well enough. Don’t worry, I’m not just pointing out the problems. I’ll share practical tips on how to use discounts thoughtfully and protect your brand while maintaining profitability.

Ready to take control of your pricing? Tune in to the latest episode, and learn how to stop letting discounts drive your decisions. Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.

• 12:47 The Pitfalls of Discounting in Business
