Welcome to the sardine challenge. So, the only thing on the menu for the next 3 days is sardines. I challenge you to
00:00:06
try and eat three of those cans in a day because that's a hell of a tool to help
00:00:09
you get into a ketogenic state. And when you're in a ketogenic state, it helps burn fat. Muscle mass gets higher
00:00:15
preserved. I've seen patients that have reversed their gray hair and that brain performance, concentration, and energy.
00:00:20
All of those things improve. Sorry, the sardine juice has gone on my iPad. Good luck getting that off. Anyway, I'm
00:00:27
going to teach you how to do an advanced ketogenic diet because most people have
00:00:31
been making buckets of insulin without knowing it. But when you have excess insulin, it's a chronic disease maker.

00:00:42
depression, brain fog, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. And so to reverse the high insulin state, I really push my patients
00:00:48
to do the ketogenic diet. And what unfolds is your best life ahead within a year. Like I really rescued my mom from

00:01:00
excessive production of insulin. The next thing, keep the carbs low. Put the fat up. More eggs, beef, brisket, ribs,
00:01:06
pork belly. But then people often say when you talk about the ketogenic diet that it's not
00:01:10
sustainable. So, you have this idea of this keto continuum consistently keto for life.
00:01:15
Yeah. I mean, I've been on a ketogenic diet for 10 years and there's 12 steps for it and you're not going to have to
00:01:19
try very hard. So the first step is
