Do you have questions since starting your keto journey? This podcast episode may have some answers for you. Tune in to hear a full keto breakdown now.
Guest
Dr. Anthony Gustin
Is it better for beginners to track their macros and calories when first starting out on keto?
What’s the best way to suppress your hunger without breaking your fast?
What is keto rash and is it possible to prevent it?
The feedback I’ve received on the last five Q&A episodes has been so great that I’m here to deliver a sixth one that’s jam-packed with questions like these and more.
Our environment has a ridiculous amount of chemicals in it. And a lot of that stuff gets stored in your fat. Share on XWhile Chris Irvin, our Head of Education, and I dive into a huge breakdown of topics for beginners, there’s plenty of other helpful questions for people further along on their keto journey.
For example, if you want to learn more about CrossFitting on keto or you’re having trouble with intermittent fasting, we may have some answers for you.
We also chat about how to make keto more of a lifestyle so you don’t feel like you can’t eat the things you love or have a social life.
I’ll even share a sneak peek into my workout routine, which you may have seen on my Instagram.
And if this is your first time here, welcome!

Since I transitioned out of my clinical practice, I’ve made it my mission to help as many people as possible achieve optimal health and well-being.
I do this by creating educational pieces — such as this podcast episode — and by developing high-quality, clean, keto-friendly products that make living low-carb easier.
When you tune in, you’ll find a special discount waiting for you in the episode and you’ll hear more about me and my keto journey so far, among other things.
