Bestselling author Dr Joseph Mercola shows you the profound and achievable health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined.
We all know that food is medicine - yet going without food is one of the single best things you can do for your health. Short, doable fasts, when strategically timed, are an incredibly powerful metabolic intervention, dovetailing perfectly with a ketogenic diet to activate your body's fat-burning mode. This in turn can ward off insulin resistance, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, optimize brain function, prevent neurological problems, support weight loss and more.
In this in-depth yet accessible guide, Dr Joseph Mercola explores the health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined. Topics include:
how our food is making us sick and what we can do about it
the physiology and mechanisms of fasting, including stem cell activation
how regular one-day fasts support fat burning and detoxification while minimizing hunger and side effects
how to monitor your progress with lab tests
'This will be an exciting journey for you,' Dr Mercola writes. 'I am beyond excited for you to implement what I consider to be one of the most powerful physical strategies to help you not only recover your health, but also improve it to levels you likely never believed were possible.'
'KetoFast combines the insulin-lowering effect of the ketogenic diet with the time-tested healing power of fasting. This revolutionary approach promises to deliver unprecedented health benefits.'
