Did you know that a ketogenic diet can support immune health? Beyond its tried and true benefits of weight loss, fertility, and enhanced neurological health, keto has multiple mechanisms that reduce inflammation in the body. In fact, keto can reduce certain inflammatory chemicals including inflammasomes, it can enhance cell membrane health and can even reduce CRP by 35-40%. What’s more, there is a direct relationship between ketones and T Cell function including enhanced production and specificity of these long term players of the immune system. In this episode, we unpack the many benefits of the ketogenic diet on the immune system and get into the nitty gritty research of how a ketogenic diet can be used as a clinical tool for restoring and maintaining metabolic and immune health. We also unpack the taboo topic of n@tural immunitee (did you know it is a banned hashtag?!) Learn how to rev up your immune system using keto along with targeted supplementation and how you can make your terrain resilient to whatever viru$ comes our way next!

Do you know your Vitamin D level? Vitamin D plays an essential role in the human body but is most known for its role in the immune system. Unlike other vitamins, we get only about 10% of the Vitamin D we need from diet and the rest needs to be made by the body. Between genetic SNPs, lack of sun exposure, obesity and inflammation it is no wonder over 40% of the American population is deficient in this nutrient. Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss functions of Vitamin D from immune health to hormone balance to metabolic health and beyond. In this episode, Ali and Becki unpack the robust function of vitamin D as well as its role in the pandemic. Learn about ideal reference ranges for Vitamin D (deficiency is considered 20 ng/mL and below in mainstream medicine), how over 700 research studies provide data supporting the use of Vitamin D for DIVOC, and considerations of supplementation and sun exposure. We round things out with some discussion of the variants (dun, dun, dun…), changes to PCR testing and the case for natural immunity.

Are your prescriptions driving micronutrient deficiency? Want to know more about how prescription medications can drive imbalance? Curious how you can support the body while taking certain medications or avoid them altogether with strategic supplementation? Tune in to hear Ali and Becki discuss common drugs prescribed in the US from birth control to PPIs to statins to antidepressants and beyond.

This is only compounded by polypharmacy or the use of multiple medications with 70% of Americans on one medication and 20% taking 2 or more! While it can be tempting to prescribe a pill to fix an ill, functional medicine interventions can actually get to the root cause of dysfunction and support whole body health.
