Weight Plateaus, GLP-1s & Why Keto Got So Complicated | Amy Berger, MS, CNS


Listen Later

Keto doesn’t have to be complicated. Yep, you heard that right.


Nutritionist and author Amy Berger joins us to unpack the chaos of keto culture and how a once-simple metabolic switch has turned into a jungle of macros, misinformation and food fear. Amy cuts through the noise and brings keto back to what it was always meant to be: a simple, flexible, effective way of eating.


Together with Ben, she covers the realities of weight loss stalls, hormonal shifts, fasting fads, the rise of ultra-processed keto products and what the science says about vegetables, carnivore diets, GLP-1s and calories.


We cover:

🥩 Carnivore vs Keto - what’s happening metabolically

💊 GLP-1s, weight loss drugs & long-term risk

📉 Why weight loss might stall (and what to do about it)

🧃 Keto vs processed “keto” - marketing vs metabolism

🥬 In defense of vegetables (yes, really)

📊 Fasting: myth, magic, or just misunderstood?


Whether you're new to low-carb or neck-deep in macros and metabolic rabbit holes - this one’s for you.
