Wait a minute, low fat keto? Have we lost our minds? Nope! We’re simply talking about how you can adjust your macros to still include whole real food nourishing fat choices but selecting more protein and encouraging the body to use its own fat as fuel vs. over-feeding it!

 

If you’ve tried keto without success or suspect you have leptin resistance, this episode is for you! We discuss the signs of leptin resistance, main drivers, and how to reverse it to yield sustainable weight loss outcomes. Learn why leptin matters, how to assess it, and which antioxidants and superfoods that can boost leptin sensitivity.
