What can you tell me about this? Well, if you look at the science, it's enhancing cognition. We've seen a 50%
00:00:06
improvement in how individuals were able to read and absorb information of better
00:00:10
decision-m and also we did a study and showed that it delayed the progression of metastatic cancer. And I've actually
00:00:17
taken this a number of times because having been in research for the last 15 years and having lived with multiple
00:00:23
chronic diseases, one of which I reversed. Some of the most powerful strategies like this were not being told
00:00:28
to me when I went to the doctor's office. So, let's dig deeper. I went through some pretty dramatic moments in
00:00:33
my childhood. You know, I did everything I was told, right? I exercised all the time. I ate what I was supposed to eat,
00:00:38
but I still became obese. You weighed about 255 lbs. Yep. And I had no idea how damaging that
00:00:46
actually was to my body. And I think the vast majority of people also don't. But
00:00:50
over 20% of children have obesity. That's quadrupled over the last 30 years. And a big part of that is when it
00:00:56
comes to food, what looks healthy isn't always healthy. And it's not by accident. And then I ended up getting
00:01:01
diagnosed with a chronic irreversible disease that obesity puts you at risk for. And that immediately turned into a
00:01:07
journey to understand how to be healthy. And I came across this diet a little over a decade ago called the ketogenic
00:01:13
diet. So then I went into the science of this diet and found positive impacts on
00:01:17
things like diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's, serious mental illness, chronic diseases. And I was like, "Oh,
00:01:22
wow." Cuz a lot of people don't realize that many of these are not just preventable, but also reversible. So let
00:01:28
me tell you all about it.
