so I had another question do medications

slow down your keto and intermittent

fasting results okay let’s just kind of

look at some of the top medications

number one if you’re a diabetic you’re

taking either metformin or insulin or

other drugs that increase insulin okay

now both of these right here will

definitely slow the results because the

goal is to lower insulin okay and this

is kind of acting as a crutch to help

insulin resistance but it’s not

correcting it it’s kind of like

temporarily kind of patching him then we

have steroids like in prednisone or

cortisone injections for inflammation or

skin problems this is an adrenal hormone

this will definitely block your keto

results in fact this will greatly

stimulate insulin and that’s why one of

the side effects of taking

corticosteroids or prednisone is

diabetes antidepressants will also slow

your results actually one of the side

effects is weight gain because it

increases insulin statins also increase

insulin resistance it worsens the result

but here’s the thing what you want to do

is you want to continue the medication

get with your doctor as you improve

because these two actions right here

keto intermittent fasting will decrease

the need for these medications your

blood sugars are going to improve your

incident resistance is going to improve

to the point where you need less and

less of these okay and because you tell

when intermittent fasting greatly

improves inflammation the need for

steroids will go down as well if you’re

taking it as an inhaler for asthma the

need for that will go down as well and

you can get with your doctor to make the

adjustments so you’ll take less and then

the results will speed up

antidepressants one of the great

benefits of keto within a minute fasting

is elevated mood I’ve seen so many times

someone who is depressed and anxiety ATD

any type of lower emotion greatly

improve when you do this because your

brain now can run on a different fuel

source so it’s wonderful for mood

elevation

so the need for this will go down also

make sure that you’re doing healthy

ketosis with a lot of good high-quality

foods very very key because you want

those nutrients to speed up the results

stands why do people take statins for

high cholesterol well that’s the easiest

thing to lower when you put someone on

keto and in the fasting so the need for

this will go down and as you get off

these medications the results go higher

and higher and higher but don’t just

come off the medications get with your

doctor and make the adjustments graduate

over time and but the goal would be to

eventually come off these alright thanks
