I’ve received many questions over the past year on the topic of keto, and being someone who hasn’t practiced keto or spent a lot of time researching it, I’ve been hesitant to share anything on this subject. When I saw Dr. Axe was coming out with a book on this subject, I knew he was the perfect guest to have on the show.

Live Simply Podcast: Keto Explained with Dr. Josh Axe

I personally don’t follow the keto diet, and don’t plan on doing so anytime soon. Keto is a variation of a real food lifestyle and one that can be followed for specific reasons, as Dr. Axe shares. I wanted to talk with Dr. Axe about this topic since it’s such a trending subject and there’s a lot of information out there and a lot of myths.  If you’re considering keto, I hope today’s episode helps you navigate this way of eating in a responsible and body-friendly way. Dr. Axe is a wealth of information on this subject.

  1. I am now at the end of my first week of Keto 360. I’m 50 and although active I weighed about 8 pounds more than I would like and fat has been accumulating around my midsection the last few years. I have eaten more vegetables everyday and I have healthy berries everyday. I am not hungry (probably because of the avocados), I have a lot more mid to late day energy, I’m sleeping great and I’ve already lost 4 pounds and my pants are already a lot looser. And I found out that an organic chicken with skin and avocado mayo is really, really good chicken salad!!

    I plan on doing this for 1 month and then start cycling. To me, losing weight is just a bonus. I’m particularly concerned with avoiding dementia, high blood pressure, cancer and diabetes. I’m going to have a checkup at the end of this and see where I’m at. Then I can start adding Einkorn flour recipes back in. Thanks for having Josh Axe on. I love what he’s doing!!
