Vibrant Life - Living a Holistic Lifestyle for Optimal Health

Insulin resistance is a HUGE issue for many Americans. In fact many diseases and conditions that are on the rise can be directly linked: cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, fatty liver disease, infertility and more.

Let’s chat about some basics when it comes to how blood sugar and insulin work, plus how keto plays into it all.

We source from PNW farmers and send pasture raised chicken and pork and grass fed and finished beef (no added hormones or antibiotics) to your door!! Check out the FAQs to see if we ship to your state!

There are so many nuances when it comes to labels on meat: “organic” “natural” “pasture raised” “grass fed”...

What does all of this mean and how can it impact your health?

My podcast is sponsored by my family owned and operated business:

We are a PNW based business. Our meat comes from small local farms that meet our strict standards and our butchers are USDA certified. We sell pasture raised pork and chicken and grass fed and finished beef. All of our meat is free of antibiotics and added hormones.

Episode #5

We have been taught some very bad information on cholesterol over the years. Did you know that low cholesterol could mean depression and high risk of stroke? Did you know that most people who have heart attacks have low cholesterol?

Here is some information referenced in the video for you if you would like to dive in a little deeper!

First of all let's consider what makes each of these protocols what they are. Then let's chat about which one is best for weight loss vs which one is best for long term health (we will review a study for this part): A low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet versus a low-fat diet to treat obesity and hyperlipidemia: a randomized, controlled trial - PubMed (nih.gov)

Bottom line is always that there are NO COOKIE CUTTER APPROACHES; even when it comes to keto!

Paleo and Keto can really confuse people. What's the difference? In this episode I break it down for easy understanding. However, I also go into some of the black and white rules of both that DRIVE ME NUTS. Why? Because, as individuals with individual needs, there is no cookie cutter protocol that will work for all of us! 

Listen in for some better understanding on these two popular approaches to nutrition, but also gain some knowledge on what might be a good fit for YOU!
