Keto without the crazy. Low-carb and keto-oriented nutritionist Amy Berger's goal is to provide information about the keto diet without the fuss of different apps, spending too much, or weighing every molecule of food.Her knowledge of low-carb diet started during her college years, thanks to Dr. Atkins and his book New Diet Revolution. She was already practicing low-carb diet when she took her master's degree in human nutrition. Already aware of its effects and benefits, it prompted her to delve deeper into its relation to different metabolic syndromes, Alzheimer's disease, thyroid, and depression. In this episode, she shares the life-changing information she got from her studies on Alzheimer's disease as her graduate thesis, the heartbreak of seeing people misdiagnosed for decades, and the tips she has on how to get lab tests even without a doctor’s consent.Quick Guide:01:10 Introduction05:49 Keto without crazy07:00 People may not need the same keto diet11:25 Cut the carbs15:39 Common symptoms that a low-carb approach can help resolve21:41 Symptoms that you’re getting insufficient fats24:17 The unconventional nutrition education27:43 The Alzheimer’s Antidote34:21 Diet and lifestyle affect the brain too36:53 Thyroid problems and depression47:36 Misinformation related to health and nutritionGet to know our guest: Amy Berger is a Certified Nutrition Specialist who offers private consultations and creates online courses about keto.
