73. Why I'm Starting a Ketogenic Diet as a Proactive Cancer Protocol

  • Summary

  • In this episode of Strong Like a Mother, we dive into an honest and insightful conversation about my decision to embark on a ketogenic diet as part of a proactive cancer protocol. I share the details of my health journey, the reasoning behind this dietary shift, and the challenges and benefits I've encountered so far.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • Why my third abnormal pap smear and concerning blood work led me to explore a naturopathic cancer protocol.
    • What the ketogenic diet really is and understanding the science behind keto—how it creates an unfavorable environment for cancer cells by cutting carbohydrates and producing ketones for energy.
    • The short-term purpose of the ketogenic diet: Combining a five-day water fast with a month of keto to starve potential cancer cells of sugar.
    • The challenges of the Keto diet
    • The relationship between insulin resistance, sleep, and long-term health. How tracking macronutrients and ketone levels can help personalize the keto experience.
    • What’s Next After Keto: Exploring a return to whole foods, a Mediterranean diet, or a lacto-ovo-vegetarian lifestyle while maintaining a focus on holistic wellness.

    • Keto is not a one-size-fits-all diet and requires meticulous tracking of macronutrients.
    • Long-term, this diet may not be ideal for everyone due to challenges in meeting essential nutrient requirements.
