Keto doesn’t have to be complicated. Yep, you heard that right.
Nutritionist and author Amy Berger joins us to unpack the chaos of keto culture and how a once-simple metabolic switch has turned into a jungle of macros, misinformation and food fear. Amy cuts through the noise and brings keto back to what it was always meant to be: a simple, flexible, effective way of eating.
Together with Ben, she covers the realities of weight loss stalls, hormonal shifts, fasting fads, the rise of ultra-processed keto products and what the science says about vegetables, carnivore diets, GLP-1s and calories.
We cover:
🥩 Carnivore vs Keto - what’s happening metabolically
💊 GLP-1s, weight loss drugs & long-term risk
📉 Why weight loss might stall (and what to do about it)
🧃 Keto vs processed “keto” - marketing vs metabolism
🥬 In defense of vegetables (yes, really)
📊 Fasting: myth, magic, or just misunderstood?
Whether you're new to low-carb or neck-deep in macros and metabolic rabbit holes - this one’s for you.
