Simply put, “ketosis” is a normal metabolic process that your body executes to keep working at optimal levels. When the body doesn’t have enough carbohydrates from food for cellular metabolism, it burns fat and in this process makes “ketones.” Proper use of ketosis in the body can help people with metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and even type-2 diabetes. In order to leverage any ketosis protocol, we recommend focusing on the liver-bile duct area.
A ketogenic diet, or nutritional ketosis, is a high-fat, very low carbohydrate--or sugar--consumption diet with moderate protein. The physiology of dietetic change assumes that the body needs to be prepared to effectively handle that change. If you’re body is releasing higher-fat foods from the stomach to the small intestine, the body needs bile to neutralize the stomach acid and emulsify the fat. More fat? You’ll need more bile. In order to ensure proper function and to avoid digestive stagnation, your body needs support.
