Take Charge Of Your Health: Keto and Blood Type Diets: Personalized Nutrition for Hormonal Balance and Brain Health
Description
In this episode of Take Charge of Your Health, Corinne Furnari and Carol Petersen have a dynamic discussion on personalized dietary strategies. They delve into the ketogenic (keto) diet, describing it as a powerful metabolic tool that shifts the body’s energy source from glucose to fat—an approach shown to support cognitive health, particularly in conditions like Alzheimer’s, where insulin resistance in the brain is a key concern. The conversation also explores the blood type diet, encouraging listeners to consider how genetic individuality might influence nutritional needs. A significant portion of the episode focuses on the challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause, including stubborn weight gain and fatigue. The hosts link these issues to hormonal imbalances—such as elevated cortisol and adrenaline, low thyroid function, and declining progesterone levels. The show’s message: that lasting health comes from eating whole, natural foods and tailoring nutrition to each person’s unique biology—not from one-size-fits-all commercial diet plans.
