Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Low-Carb Diet Positives

There are many people doing low-carb diets that feel great on them for a short period of time. The reason for this is that it can increase norepinephrine and adrenaline while stabilizing glucose levels.

2. Low-Carb Diet Stress Over Time

When you continue a low-carb diet for a longer period of time it can cause stress on the body and create more cortisol. Over time this can result in breaking down muscle tissue, weakening metabolism, using up the body’s mineral storage reserves, and also affecting thyroid production.

3. What To Do Instead

We use low-carb diets in our practice but for a limited time. Low-carb diets work better on a cyclical basis and work best when you have a plan to add carbs back in and address underlying issues.
