My guest on today’s episode of The Dr. Gundry Podcast, Dr. Joseph Mercola, will separate fact from fiction and discuss how YOU can use fasting and ketogenic principles to start losing weight and improve your overall health today. Dr. Mercola has a brand new book out called KetoFast: Rejuvenate Your Health with a Step-by-Step Guide to Timing Your Ketogenic Meals and it is an absolute treasure trove of wisdom you won’t want to miss. On today’s episode, we’ll dive into the science behind fasting and the keto diet to show you why — and how — you should start incorporating these strategies into your everyday routine. We’ll also discuss the power of fasting, the “cigarette of the 21st century” (stick around for this one — it’s a doozy), and the two things you need to know about the popular “carnivore diet.” Mentioned on this episode: The Longevity Paradox http://www.harperwave.com/book/9780062843395/The-Longevity-Paradox-Gundry-Steven-R./ KetoFast: Rejuvenate Your Health with a Step-by-Step Guide to Timing Your Ketogenic Meals https://www.amazon.com/KetoFast-Rejuvenate-Step-Step-Ketogenic/dp/1401956793/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ketofast&qid=1557432939&s=gateway&sr=8-3 Satchin Panda and his work on intermittent fasting https://www.salk.edu/scientist/satchidananda-panda/ Mark Sisson on “metabolic flexibility” https://www.marksdailyapple.com/definitive-guide-to-metabolic-flexibility/
