My Ketogenic Diet Story
I had been living a secret life. I'd started following a
ketogenic diet. But why was this a secret? I'm a
nutritionist and we are trained to believe that we need
to eat a balanced diet of proteins, "healthy" fats (but
not too much), and "healthy" carbohydrates. We are
trained to believe that whole grains are part of a
healthy diet and we need them in order to get all our
vitamins and other essential nutrients. And that a really
high fat diet is only a fad that will soon be proven to be
harmful to us. And I've been trained that mindful eating,
intuitive eating, and the Health at Every Size model are all you need in order to
achieve a healthy weight and maintain a healthy body. But after my amazing
health transformation, I had to come out of the closet. Hey everyone, I'm
running on ketones (ketone bodies) and feeling fantastic!
Why did I start a ketogenic diet?
I was very sick. I was in a car accident on March 4, 2014, that was pretty
devastating to me physically, emotionally, and financially. Initially my legs were
the worst of my injuries and I spent a couple of months in bed from the pain. As
my legs began to heal, I started experiencing neuro-endocrine symptoms. The
symptoms became so bad in January of 2015, I was again bedridden for nearly
3 months due to exhaustion and extreme lightheadedness and had to shut
down my nutrition private practice. I went to doctor after doctor after doctor
with no real solutions. Due to frustration, and having all that time on my hands, I
began searching research literature to see if I could figure out what was causing
all my symptoms. I finally landed on Post Traumatic Hypopituitarism (PTHP).
My symptoms of PTHP: hypoglycemia, low anti-diuretic hormone, low cortisol,
mental fogginess, cognitive problems, memory problems, constant
lightheadedness, extreme fatigue, amenorrhea, insomnia, and clumsiness with
my hands, among many others. Additionally, I had chronic pain and
hypersensitivity in my legs. And then I developed gastroparesis (my stomach was
not digesting food and it would just keep getting fuller and fuller all day), GERD,
and diarrhea. I was also prone to week-long migraines with no known cause.
Being stuck at home (mostly in bed) for so long, my metabolism was also in
terrible shape. I had gained 25 pounds in a little over a year; my inflammatory
markers, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides were not great. My
waist measurement exceeded the 35-inch mark and my blood pressure was
making doctors consider putting me on meds. I had Metabolic Syndrome. Part
of this I can blame on the accident, part I can blame on genes, but I have to
admit looking back now, I hadn't been taking the best care of my metabolism
over the last 7-8 years. I had been embracing the modalities that I had learned
in grad school and taught to my clients. But they weren't working. The intuitive
food choices I was making were more and more full of refined carbohydrates,
that I very mindful ate (and enjoyed!). (What I know now is that once this level of
glucose intolerance is achieved, it actually perpetuates appetite, cravings, and
overeating, so much so that willpower and mindfulness can't overcome it.)
These poor food choices plus inactivity, when you have the genetic code for
metabolic syndrome, leads to a ticking time bomb. And my bomb was ticking.
In addition to all this, my family history was staring me in the face. Two
grandparents had died with dementia. My other grandparents had just been
placed in assisted living due to dementia with another one headed there soon.
And I have family members with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. If I
didn't do something drastic, I was headed down the same road.
After I thoroughly researched ketogenic diets, I knew it could help reverse my
Metabolic Syndrome, but I wondered if it could help heal my brain and provide
me with a better, more stable energy source since my adrenal fatigue was
contributing to the frequent energy dips and hypoglycemia and likely my
mental fogginess. Could it be the answer to all my health problems?
Improvements at 2.5 weeks:
 Pain and swelling in my legs is nearly gone

 Cognition is nearly as good as pre-motor vehicle accident
 Gastroparesis gone
 Heartburn gone
 C-RP (inflammation marker) dropped 62%
 Hypoglycemia symptoms gone; energy stable all day
 No more migraines
 Menses returned
 And appetite normalized
At the one-month mark:
 Blood pressure normal

 5 inches gone off my waist
 18.5 pounds gone
 Even more improved mental cognition; no more hand clumsiness
 Appetite greatly reduced, no hunger between meals. Normal.
 No headaches or migraines
 Dramatically improved energy that is stable all day
 Lightheadedness improving (I still seem to have adrenal fatigue
symptoms, but improving)
 Even more reduction in pain, swelling, and sensitivity in legs
 Sleeping better and my clock is getting reset. Whereas I used to stay up
late (until 2, 3, or 4 am), now I’m tired by 11 pm or midnight and getting
up by 9 am with no alarm clock.
 Steady energy all day. No hypoglycemia dips, no crashes, no problems! In
fact, I was able to go to an event and hadn't eaten lunch, and I didn’t
get hypoglycemic, no headache, not ravenous, nor irritable, nor food
obsessed; I could have gone all night without food. It was extremely
liberating.
 And for the first time in my life, I'm WANTING to walk for exercise every
day; and when I go for a walk, I feel like I have enough energy that I
could walk forever.
 Additionally, I'm saving lots of money on food. This is the cheapest way
I've ever eaten.
6 Months Later
Along with all the benefits that I

experienced above, my health just kept
getting better and better. Including:
 A nearly 60 pound weight lost

 10 inches off my waist
