What Exactly is Ketosis?
In the absence of carbohydrates the body begins to break down body fat and use it for energy. The result is an organic compound called ketones that is produced in the liver. The medical dictionary defines ketosis as the enhanced condition of ketone bodies.
What are the benefits of ketosis?
There are a few basic benefits of putting your body in the state of ketosis.
-Your body becomes highly efficient at burning fat. We have copious amounts of fat stored in our body. The obvious result is the ability to lean out and lose unwanted fat.
-Lower insulin levels. This allows highly beneficial hormones to be released in the body. An added benefit is more growth hormones
-Suppressed appetite. This is due to consuming higher levels of fat to keep your body in the state of ketosis. Fat has higher calories per gram than carbohydrates. This gives your body the added benefit of feeling full.
-Increase energy production in the body and mind.
-reduce oxidative stress, which assist with chronic inflammatory diseases.
-Ketosis may help mitigate the affects of diseases such as cancer and seizures.
Why did I choose to use the ketogenic diet?
First, I do not live in ketosis 100% of the time. After many years of dialing in my diet and making healthy food choices through new habits and behavior, I found that being a fat burner is the most optimum way for my body to function. Ketosis was easier for me to achieve after becoming fat adapted. I have also found most women that I work with (myself included) may have negative effects on their hormones after staying in a state of ketosis long term. This of course is not everyone, just my own observation.
Ketosis dramatically reduced my inflammation. I have had multiple concussions, whip lash, spinal injuries, nerve damage, you name it. There are times when it hurts to close my hands. Learning how to mitigate the inflammation through nutrition has been an incredible tool in my life. Ketoisis has been a huge factor in controlling the inflammation throughout my body.
The biggest reason I personal use nutritional ketosois is my new found mental clarity. I find that the energy production also increases my neurological responses & cognitive functions. I am able to make clear and precise decisions, faster with more rationale.
There is new research and data being unearthed every day. Dr. D’Agostino is a Keto Nutrition specialist and will be one of our keynote speakers at the Unbeatable mind retreat in December. Dr. D’Agostino’s research is focused on developing and testing nutritional strategies for promoting healthy weight loss and enhancing cognitive and physical performance. In addition, his research aims to develop and test specific metabolic therapies and supplements for neurological diseases and cancer. Dr. D’Agostino’s research is supported by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Department of Defense (DoD) and private foundations.
I choose ketosis to stay clean. I realized over the years that it was not only the drugs that was affecting my brain, but food as well. If you allow it, food can also be a drug. Navigating my way through drug addiction has been a long, slow road. Years of consistent abuse to my body and mind took its toll. My path has never been as clear as it is today. Ketosis is not a miracle that happened over night. It was another piece of my puzzle that enables me to have clarity.
There are always pitfalls when changing your diet. You must be tuned in to what works for you. There are many adverse reactions and dangers when you do not listen to your body and live in alignment to what best fits your needs. Do your homework and work with your practitioner before making any changes. What is your ultimate goal? Does Ketosis align with the demands and goals you have set for your body, mind and emotions?
The way we CHOOSE to eat, the community we SURROUND ourselves with and decisions we ALLOW to shape our path create our story. What does your story say about you? My story feeds my courage dog every single day. I lived life in a self-mutilating haze. I know what it feels like to feel unworthy, dark and dirty. I now know what it feels like to wake up every single day and feel like my life is on FIRE! Fuel your passions, fuel your fire!! Hooyah!
