Want to Protect Your Health? Holistic Keto Can Help

March 21, 2020

“1) Skip dairy: The typical ketogenic-type diet includes too many inflammatory foods. In my “Holistic Keto for Gut Health” book, I have an entire chapter on the dangers of dairy — a food group that is “allowed” in a standard ketogenic diet. We aren’t designed to consume dairy products other than human breast milk, especially after the age of 5. There are also other inflammatory foods you should hear about, like nuts and eggs, that can cause nagging symptoms no one can figure out.

2) Focus on digestive health: Holistic keto differs from the typical keto-type diet in that it omits inflammatory foods and focuses instead on digestive health, which leads to healthier immune function and vibrant health overall. It does eliminate the same carbohydrates that a standard keto diet omits (i.e., grains, legumes, and starchy root vegetables), but then it gets even better by incorporating gut healing foods, supplements, and lifestyle recommendations.

3) Improve digestion: Typical keto never mentions how you’re supposed to digest all that fat and meat, but holistic keto for gut health goes into this in depth. You’re not only what you eat, you’re what you can digest and absorb. Most people have subclinical gall bladder issues (sludge in the pipes, so to speak) and low stomach acid, which blocks your ability to digest fats and other nutrients properly. If you don’t break them down well, you can’t absorb them and your entire body and mind suffer.

4) Whole-self wellness beyond food: What you eat, digest, and absorb matters, but those aren’t the only factors for vibrant health. Holistic keto incorporates other important variables such as hydration, exercise, sleep, self-awareness, healthy relationships, appropriate boundaries, honest and responsible communication, and inner peace. A holistic and individualized approach to health and nutrition will always offer the best results.

5) Rebalance your gut: Most people have some level of gut dysbiosis — an imbalance between the “good guys” and the “bad guys” in your gut. These imbalances can lead to diseases because of how they influence your immune system. Holistic keto can help you halt, heal, and prevent autoimmune issues by healing your gastrointestinal tract.”
