Summary

"Stemming from her experience with how ketogenic dietary intervention dramatically improved her husband's early onset Alzheimer's disease, Dr. Mary Newport wrote this book as a practical approach for implementing ketones into our daily lives in order to improve the human condition ...this book provides a breakdown of the science behind ketogenics and includes personal testimonies from people who have experienced the benefits of practicing a keto lifestyle first hand. This book also provides strategies for increasing ketone levels, an overview of the different types of ketogenic diets and their benefits, a list of ketone supplements, keto-friendly recipes and ingredients, sources for finding specialty foods, and much more."--Back cover
