Listen in today as Jimmy talks with Charlotte Ivey from IveysCulturedKitchen about how she used fasting and keto to get her health back in Episode 32. “I realized I could fast naturally when increasing my fats and not having to worry about my body weight if I was nourishing myself well enough with good quality protein, healthy fats, and vegetables which are mostly above ground and nothing too starchy.” – Charlotte Ivey GET THE BESTSELLING FASTING AUDIBLE AUDIOBOOK Here’s what Jimmy and Charlotte talked about in Episode 32: – As a child having a sweet tooth – A sugar addict when young, even though she was thin – Health deteriorated at age 22 – Lost her dad to cancer very suddenly at 20 and the stress & shock of it along with poor diet led to irregular periods, phases of depression, bad skin, poor digestion and a general weakened immune system – Got to a point where she felt like she was dying – Home from work for a week and prayed to God that she would not die – Soon came across the paleo diet and began learning about Candida and the effects that toxins, sugar, and lifestyle can have on the body – Giving up sugar/carbs was probably one of the hardest things she had to do in her life but from feeling so sick she knew her health was the most important thing – had a lot of body fat compared to bone mass having slowly crept up from UK 6 to size UK 10 by the time she reached 23/24 – Discovered fasting and began to get her health back – realized that with fasting, especially for women it's important to keep your body fat within a healthy percentage for your frame. I also – Realized she could fast naturally when increasing her fats and not having to worry about body weight if I am nourishing myself well enough with good quality protein,  (i.e. Fully pastured meat) healthy fats and vegetables which are mostly above ground and nothing too – If nourishing well enough with good quality protein,  (i.e. Fully pastured meat) healthy fats and vegetables which are mostly above ground and nothing too starchy I still eat carbs every now and then i.e. Blueberries / sweet – Still eats carbs every now and then i.e. Blueberries / sweet potato but from understanding her body so much now she needs very little – Within just 6 weeks of switching to a ketogenic diet, her menstrual cycle returned and has been on time ever since.
