Keto for Healing: From Epilepsy to Energy

The Power of Keto: A Revolution in Health

What if I told you that everything you thought you knew about food, energy, and healing was only part of the story?

What if I told you that deep within your body is a powerful, ancient mechanism—a metabolic switch—just waiting to be turned on? One that can help you burn fat effortlessly, stabilize your blood sugar, and even fight neurological disease? That switch… is ketosis.

The ketogenic diet isn’t just a trend. It’s a revolution. A rediscovery of what our bodies were designed to do when fueled properly.

💥 It started over a century ago—not as a weight-loss gimmick, but as a medical therapy. In the 1920s, when children with epilepsy had no hope, doctors at the Mayo Clinic turned to a radical idea: mimic the effects of fasting by shifting the body's fuel from sugar to fat. And it worked. Seizures stopped. Hope was restored.

But here’s the tragedy… many doctors today have forgotten this.

I was coaching a woman who had suffered from epilepsy since birth. Her life was ruled by seizures. She couldn’t drive. She couldn’t work. She couldn’t live like a normal adult. Her doctors—some of the best in their field—kept using her as a test subject for one experimental treatment after another. Expensive surgeries. Harsh medications. And yet, not one of them ever told her about the ketogenic diet.

I was appalled.

How could they ignore a therapy that’s been working for over 100 years?

When I finally shared this safe, effective, time-tested option with her, it changed everything. For the first time in her life, she had hope. She had control. She had a path to healing that didn’t require another pill or another procedure.

And she’s not alone.

Fast forward to today: millions of people across the globe are waking up to the incredible benefits of the ketogenic lifestyle.

They’re shedding pounds—yes—but they’re also reversing Type 2 diabetes… lowering inflammation… eliminating chronic medications… and even fighting cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and depression.

People like Lisa, who lost 80 pounds and reclaimed her joy. Like April and her husband, who dropped over 100 pounds combined—and dropped their blood pressure, too. And like Iain Campbell, who overcame bipolar disorder symptoms through keto—sparking new clinical research into mental health and metabolism.

That said, I want to be clear: I don’t recommend the ketogenic diet for everyone, at all times.

Like any powerful tool, it must be used wisely. Keto is incredibly effective for reaching certain health goals—especially for weight loss, blood sugar regulation, neurological conditions, and metabolic healing. But it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.

Some people may need to cycle in and out of ketosis. Others may need to address underlying gut or thyroid issues first. And for some, especially those with certain liver or kidney conditions, this diet should only be pursued under supervision.

I always encourage people to listen to their bodies, work with a holistic practitioner, and approach keto not as a permanent extreme—but as a therapeutic phase or lifestyle reset with incredible healing potential.

This isn’t just about skinny jeans. It’s about energy. Clarity. Confidence. Control.

Imagine waking up with stable energy all day long. No more crashes. No more cravings. No more sugar rollercoasters hijacking your focus and your life.

Imagine eating foods that fuel you—delicious, satisfying fats like avocado, coconut oil, wild salmon, nuts, and pasture-raised eggs—while watching your waistline shrink and your brain come alive.

👉 It’s worth noting: keto wasn’t invented as a weight-loss plan—it was created as medicine. The weight loss is just a side effect of restoring your body’s natural balance.

Even ultramarathoners use it to fuel their races, relying on fat for long-lasting endurance. And celebrities like Halle Berry, Tim Tebow, and LeBron James have credited keto for helping them look, feel, and perform at their best.

That said, as powerful as keto is, it’s not without challenges. Some people experience what’s called the “keto flu” during the first week—headaches, low energy, or digestive changes as your body shifts into fat-burning mode. And because keto restricts certain fruits and grains, it’s important to be intentional about getting enough fiber, minerals, and hydration—or you might face constipation or nutrient imbalances.

Now, if you want a deeper dive into this way of living, I highly recommend the book Keto Diet by Dr. Josh Axe. He’s one of my teachers and mentors—I had the honor of being in a MasterMind group with him that met weekly online and annually in person. I’ve learned so much from him—not only about nutrition, but also about building a purpose-driven health business that empowers people to heal. His book is especially helpful for beginners, with over 80 delicious recipes that make it easy to get started and stay on track with the ketogenic lifestyle.

While we may differ on a few things, I deeply respect his work and highly recommend the Ancient Nutrition supplement line that he co-formulated with another of my mentors, Naturopath Jordan Rubin. Their products are clean, effective, and rooted in both modern research and ancient wisdom. One of my personal favorites is their Women’s Vitality supplement—carefully designed to support hormonal balance, energy, and overall well-being for women. If you're looking for trusted support along your health journey, this is a powerful place to start.

So if you're ready to take back your life—your mind, your mood, your metabolism—
Then maybe it’s time to go keto.

Not as a fad. Not as a quick fix.
But as a lifestyle. A healing journey. A return to how your body was created to function.

Join the revolution. Light the fire within.
Because fat isn't the enemy. It's your secret weapon.
