Read More »By now, most of us have either heard about or tried the keto (ketogenic) diet. In the past decade, the keto diet has become progressively more mainstream for the use of weight loss and glucose regulation. By nature, it is a metabolic therapy and was first developed in the 1920s by doctors at the Mayo Clinic to reduce epileptic seizures. After the 1970s, low carbohydrate diets increased in popularity for weight loss, insulin control, and other desired health outcomes. We can now learn from the large number of studies covering nearly 100 years and from first-hand experience gained by practitioners and patients on the advantages and disadvantages of keto. Keto can be stressful to the body, depending on your approach. Ideally, the keto diet is a positive acute stress that provides a health benefit known as hormesis. Many women can use the keto diet to achieve desired outcomes of fat loss and insulin regulation, which leads to positive benefits in hormone health. However, the advantages of the keto diet do not always outweigh the long-term effects for certain women. Premenopausal and perimenopausal women’s bodies are especially sensitive to dietary changes. Any signs that could indicate that food is scarce or produce nutrient deficiencies can influence women’s hormones even in the short term. In addition, specific health conditions or low nutrient status in combination with the keto diet can lead to adverse health outcomes.

Read More »The keto diet generally reduces total carbohydrate intake to 20-50 grams a day, utilizing an average of 70-80% fat from total daily calories, 5-10% carbohydrate, and 10-20% protein. By limiting carbohydrates, the body produces ketones from fatty acids and can burn these ketones for energy rather than burning glucose. Once in ketosis, the body will shift to using stored body fat for fuel. This process bypasses insulin production and the resulting issues many people have due to overconsumption of sugar and other highly processed carbohydrates. A ketone monitor can ensure that ketosis occurs. Emphasizing healthy fats and nutrient-dense foods is essential to the keto diet. In practice, it is common to see that some individuals achieve ketosis while consuming high levels of saturated fat or poor overall food quality. Ketosis can be achieved this way. However, there is a subset of people that do not utilize saturated fats very well and should be especially mindful of the type of fat they consume. Those with a polymorphism on the Apo E gene would do well eating primarily unsaturated fats (Mediterranean style keto). The keto diet is often combined with fasting and time-restricted eating to promote autophagy and potentially increase longevity. A cyclical approach and combining the keto diet with periods of slightly higher carbohydrate levels, including small amounts of healthy starches (ex. sweet potatoes, plantains, some grains), can help women optimize the benefits of ketosis while mitigating health risks.
