Key Takeaways:

  • People have more food sensitivities than they do allergies. So just because you’re not allergic to any food, it doesn’t mean you’re not sensitive to that food. And vice versa, just because you are sensitive to the food, it doesn’t mean you’re allergic to it.
  • A lot of times bio-identical hormones are used as a band-aid without looking deeper into what’s going on with your body. It’s supplementing what your body is not doing on its own instead of finding out why it’s not doing that on its own and working to heal that.
  • We really all should know our fasting insulin level because it’s one of the reasons why we struggle with keto even when we’re doing keto 100%. The reason why we don’t see weight loss or energy gain or mental clarity and other supposed benefits of keto is that even though our blood sugar levels are fine, our insulin levels are not.
  • Ketone production is amazing for the immune system, which is what will heal your autoimmune disease.
  • A lot of anxiety and depression and mood issues are tied to blood sugar response and caused by blood sugar swings. When our blood sugar balances out, our mood balances out, too.

Action Steps:

  • Closely monitor your hormone levels if you are taking bio-identical hormones. If you don’t test frequently enough, you could get way overdosed.
  • Get as much testing done when you visit your doctor and get someone to read your results from a more functional medicine perspective.
  • Test your insulin level every six months.
  • Eat when you’re hungry and make sure to eat enough food.
  • Be intuitive with your workouts and your exercise.

Shawn said:

“You can get all the tests in the world, but if you’re not seeing the right person that’s going to look at it from a different lens to let you know how you’re actually doing before it gets too bad, then they’re kind of pointless.”

“One of the best things about going keto is to calm the sugar dragon and get your need to binge or your cravings or any sort of having this attraction to carbs and sweets… but when you get off of that, it’s really, really nice. It’s very freeing.”
