Keto vs. Plant Based Diet

The ketogenic diet was developed for children suffering epileptic seizures it was never intended for optimum diet health but is a better alternative than having seizures each meal contained heavy whipping cream and basically replacing any carbs calories with fat and not lots of meat and protein
I find it strange that it's become so popular as a diet especially in America when most of the healthiest populations in the world follow a balanced diet but I guess it's easy for people to blame one macro nutrient than just be accountable for the over consumption and abundance of calorie
rich food available in the modern world
It's more of a hunter-gatherer type diet. Lots of fats, not too much protein and very low carb.

That's rather like saying "cowpox vaccine should not be used for smallpox" or "remdesvir should not be used for covid-19". A diet found to prove that a major macronutrient is totally unnecessary for human health surely may have other therapeutic benefits also? BTW, keto is also used for chemo patients, and a whole host of other syndromes involving brain chemistry. Namaste.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
