The Importance of a Keto Green Diet with Kristina Hess

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On this week’s episode of The Girlfriend Doctor, we had a conversation with Kristina Hess, a premier health coach and licensed clinical nutritionist who’s passionate about a ketogenic approach to treat inflammation and restore metabolic health. She’s also the host and founder of Keto Symposium, the first low-carb conference in New York City.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adapting a ketogenic lifestyle can prevent diabetes, heart disease, cancer, menopausal symptoms, brain fog and mood swings. It can also help with weight loss and autoimmune disorders. Having a keto green diet is mandatory for brain health and cognitive function. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A keto green diet promotes a metabolic state where you’re burning fat preferentially over sugar. Eating a lot of protein is key, along with lots of greens and other vegetables. Once you reach a state of ketosis, you no longer experience hunger cravings for carbs and sugar. It’s also important to drink lots of water between meals and keep your grain intake high as well.</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[3:22] Bio-individuality and the importance of keto for menopause</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[6:39] Auto-immunity and the keto diet</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[8:13] How to handle carb cravings</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[9:21] Details about upcoming low-carb conference in New York City</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[22:34] How to build muscle with a keto diet</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[26:10] The importance of staying hydrated</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[41:43] How the keto diet can reverse diabetes</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>HOW TO CONNECT WITH OUR GUEST</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Affiliate Links:</span> <span style="color: #8e44ad;"><a style="color: #8e44ad;" href= "https://n
