In today’s episode, we uncover the truth about keto’s effectiveness for long-term health, beyond just weight loss.Yes, cutting out carbs helps with blood sugar stabilization and helps you lose weight, but is this approach to health really sustainable? Or is it just another diet that ultimately harms our relationship with food?

Plus, we’ll look at how keto compares to more holistic approaches that focus on overall health and not just weight loss.Conclusion:Diets like keto promise quick results, but they come with trade-offs that can affect your health in the long run.
