In this episode of the YogiOnline podcast I interview Maia Sutherland, a Keto Diet expert and an enthusiastic advocate for its wide-ranging health benefits.
Keto is a very high fat, moderate protein and very low carb diet, gaining popularity and interest across the wellness world.
Maia is an ambassador for the British Public Health Collaboration group, a collaboration of doctors and other clinicians who use a low carbohydrate approach to healthcare in their practices to help patients reverse health conditions such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, and more.
Interestingly I was feeling VERY peri-menopausal when I recorded this interview: full of brain fog, headache, achiness and fatigue - and in this interview Maia talks about her experiences with similar peri-menopausal symptoms and how she managed them through this revolutionary dietary approach. She shares her knowledge and experience of eating for ketogenesis for 14 months now and the amazing benefits she is getting.
Maia throws down a CHALLENGE - out of the blue - in this interview - to try the Ketogenic diet for a month! Find out if I take her up on it...!
Maia has provided some really extensive notes and links in the show notes for further study (see below):

Everything about ketosis and fasting especially in reference to diabetes, but not exclusively. One of the best people to begin with for information.
