Chapter 4: The Keto Paradox The Keto Paradox is just another way of asking why does Keto work so well for men and not for women? This question is the main reason this book intrigued me because for so long no one was asking the question, let alone looking for an answer to it. WhichContinue reading “Review of “Women, Food and Hormones” by Sara Gottfried, MD (3/17)”

Review of “Women, Food, and Hormones” by Dr. Sara Gottfried, MD (3/3)
The Final Two Principles from Chapter One are 1. Because of their hormones, women react differently than men to keto and 2. Women can follow a ketogenic diet but they do better with a hormone balancing version such as the Gottfried Protocol. Because of their hormones, women react differently than men to keto. Three ofContinue reading “Review of “Women, Food, and Hormones” by Dr. Sara Gottfried, MD (3/3)”
Review of “Women, Food, and Hormones” by Sara Gottfried, MD – Chapter 1 (3/1)
Why I am even interested in this book and trying Sara Gottfried’s protocol: Let me give you a little of my back story. In 2014, my son Jake, who was then 3 years old, began to experience seizures. We immediately got him an appointment to the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Being new to this wholeContinue reading “Review of “Women, Food, and Hormones” by Sara Gottfried, MD – Chapter 1 (3/1)”
Day 16-20 Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/20-2/24)
“Rotational Fasting While Traveling Across Country” The last few days have been a blur to say the least. I flew out of PA to visit family on Wednesday afternoon (21st) for Wyoming. It took most of the day, between driving the 3 hours to Pittsburgh International Airport and the 5-hour layover in Minnesota. We finallyContinue reading “Day 16-20 Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/20-2/24)”
Day 10 & 11 Rotational Fasting Challenge – 2/14-2/15
When I meet with clients, I like to always start by asking them what is new and good in their lives. I do this because it’s human nature to focus on what’s not good. In turn, I feel like I need to ask myself the same question. So, what IS New and Good? Count myContinue reading “Day 10 & 11 Rotational Fasting Challenge – 2/14-2/15”
Day 8- 25 Day Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/12)
Well, I’m back to work this week which means I have a little less control over the timing of my meals. I broke my fast this morning at 6 a.m. and went for a 3-mile run followed by 30 minutes of weightlifting. The run was pretty sub par. I felt super tired, and energy deprived. I was almost 1/2Continue reading “Day 8- 25 Day Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/12)”
Day 7 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/11)
My eating window was from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. today. I fasted from 8:00p.m. on the 10th until 1:00 p.m. on Sunday the 11th, for a total of 17 hours. I did not exercise today. What I ate in my eating window today: clean protein bar, chicken breast stir fry, (cabbage and stir fry veggies) 1/2 cup OikosContinue reading “Day 7 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (2/11)”
Day 4 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (Thursday 2/8)
Well, Day three (yesterday) didn’t go as planned, but it wasn’t an epic failure either. I needed to get my 5-mile run in around 8:30 a.m. and I just had zero energy. Hence, I decided to make an adjustment to the fasting routine. Which, in hindsight, is what this experiment is all about, adjusting a fasting challenge toContinue reading “Day 4 – Rotational Fasting Challenge (Thursday 2/8)”
My 25-day Rotational Fasting Journey
I try to make a point with my clients to let them know that I’m human just like they are. And just like them, occasionally I need to do my own health and wellness reset. The business of life creeps in, the weight creeps up, and despite the fact that we keep it pretty clean I’ve recentlyContinue reading “My 25-day Rotational Fasting Journey”
