Fasting is one of the most powerful metabolic interventions there is--one of the single best things you can do for your health. Strategically timed and planned fasts dovetail perfectly with a ketogenic diet, as they activate your body's fat-burning mode. This in turn can ward off insulin resistance, reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, optimize brain function, prevent neurological problems, support weight loss, and more.

In this in-depth yet accessible guide, Dr. Joseph Mercola explores the profound health benefits that result when ketogenic living and well-planned fasting are combined. Part I of the book explains why this works, drawing on up-to-the-minute science as well as Dr. Mercola's decades of research and clinical experience. Part II shows how to put keto-fasting to work for your own health, with a specific protocol and practical guidelines to follow. Topics include:

  *  How our food is making us sick and what we can do about it

  *  The physiology and mechanisms of fasting, including stem cell activation

  *  How the cyclical ketogenic diet--with carefully timed meals--differs from the conventional keto diet

  *  How fasting can help treat diseases from diabetes to fatty liver to Alzheimer's

  *  And much more<
