Did you know the ketogenic diet was originally discovered as a beneficial diet for patients with epilepsy? The therapeutic benefits of a keto lifestyle far outweigh the weight loss and fat loss. The mental clarity, anti-inflammation, increased energy and expanded cognitive function are just a few of the reasons people try and then adopt the keto diet. In this solo episode, Drew shares his thoughts on whether or not keto is a fad diet, the differences he saw in himself after adopting a keto lifestyle, and why no matter what your love of yourself and your health should always come first.
