#075: Intermittent Fasting, Keto and Thyroid Health

Show Notes

Intermittent fasting has become wildly popular, but are you doing it the right way? This episode is in response to recent Facebook live done by a prominent doctor. He promotes intermittent fasting (IF) and a ketogenic diet for thyroid health. All good, except for the fact that 80% of the participants GOT WORSE. In this episode I explain why:

What is IF?
How do most people do IF?
Transitioning from a standard diet onto IF
Thyroid function 101
The impact of IF on cortisol levels
The impact of cortisol on thyroid hormones
Cortisol, blood sugar and IF
How a ketogenic diet affects sleep
Blood sugar, insulin and melatonin
How to transition comfortably onto IF
