Overview of Ketosis

What is Ketosis?

When carbohydrates are not available for use as energy, the body enters a state of ketosis to transform stored fat into ketone bodies to use for fuel instead.

How do we use Ketosis?

By reducing the calories consume through fasting, limiting your daily carbs and exercising more, you can dramatically increase your ketone levels and hence, the fat you burn.

Is this real?

Mounting scientific evidence is emerging to show that the fat burn achieved through ketosis is a powerful way to improve your health in many critical aspects

How Ketosis helps with DKA

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a serious problem that can happen in people with diabetes if their body starts to run out of insulin. DKA is the leading cause of mortality among children and young adults with type 1 diabetes, accounting for ∼50% of all deaths in this population. DKA is also increasingly found among type 2 diabetic patients, which poses a significant threat for 415 million population who suffer from diabetes worldwide. (CDC, USA)​

How Ketosis Helps with Obesity

Ketosis is a natural metabolic state where your body utilizes stored fat as energy instead of carbohydrates. During this process, ketones are produced from fat stores which serve as an energy source when there are no more carbohydrates to burn.

​

You can increase the amount of ketones (and hence, fat burned) by reducing calories intake, fasting, limiting carbohydrates in your diet or increase physical activity through exercise. Regularly entering ketosis can result in numerous health benefits such as weight loss, reduced inflammation and improved mental clarity

How Ketosis Helps with Type 2 Diabetes

Ketosis is a metabolic state in which your body utilizes fat as fuel instead of carbohydrates. During this process, ketones are produced from stored fat which serves as an energy source when there are no more carbohydrates available. By reducing caloric intake, fasting, limiting carbohydrates, or increasing physical activity, you can dramatically increase your ketones and the fat burned.

​

Regular engagement in ketosis has numerous health benefits including weight loss, reduced inflammation and improved mental clarity. Additionally, maintaining a state of ketosis has been shown to reverse, treat, and even prevent type 2 diabetes.

​Epilepsy is a neurological disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that are caused by an excessive and abnormal discharge of electrical activity in the brain. Seizures can manifest in a variety of ways, ranging from brief lapses of attention or muscle twitching to loss of consciousness or convulsions. Epilepsy is a chronic condition and can impact individuals of all ages, but it is most commonly diagnosed in children and older adults.
