Eating a ketogenic diet has changed our lives! I am a practicing family nurse practitioner with an undergraduate degree in nutritional science from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. My husband is an excellent cook! We still live in paradise on the central coast of California. We work hard and work out harder. While at Cal Poly I worked as a personal fitness trainer and tried to eat “healthy” following the food pyramid.

It wasn’t until I turned 40 that the weight crept up despite regular exercise and counting calories. The food pyramid which was not working for me AT ALL!

I have discovered through extensive research that what we have been taught all this time is WRONG and DANGEROUS! Eating mostly carbohydrates is making our country obese. It doesn’t matter if they are whole grains or not.  With the increasing amount of GMO foods we are seeing more gluten intolerance. Eating a hunter/gatherer diet is the key to optimizing health and getting rid of unwanted pounds, especially the stubborn abdominal fat!

We advise watching The Magic Pill on Netflix for an eye opening documentary on the benefits of ketogenesis.
