The Revolutionary New Science of Keto That Offers More Benefits Without Deprivation
Keto diets have been getting it wrong all along, contends renowned cardiologist Steven R. Gundry – and that’s why so many people fail to see results.
Conventional wisdom about the keto diet makes out ketones to be a super fuel.
In reality, ketones work by causing mitochondria to uncouple and waste calories.
The Keto Code program aims to stimulate mitochondrial uncoupling via ketones and nutrients that promote uncoupling.
A balanced gut microbiome produces postbiotics that also trigger uncoupling.
The Keto Code program emphasizes plant-based foods, whole foods, healthy fats and moderate amounts of protein.
To maintain gut and mitochondria health, avoid certain foods – including excessive protein.
Intermittent fasting stimulates ketone production – regardless of what you eat.
