Is the keto diet really right for everyone?

While some people thrive on lower-carb eating, others experience the opposite—more anxiety, restless sleep, thyroid issues, and even weight gain.

On today’s show, I break down why keto diets can be helpful for certain conditions in the short term, but also how they can be detrimental to your health—and why they’re not a one-size-fits-all approach.

So join me on today’s Cabral Concept 3505 to discover why keto diets don’t work for all body types and how to match your nutrition to your unique body type, activity level, and health needs.

Enjoy the show, and let me know what you think!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Keto Isn’t for Everyone While some people benefit from keto in the short-term, others—especially ectomorph/Vata types and many women—often see negative effects like anxiety, low mood, or thyroid issues.

2. Body Type Matters Ectomorphs usually need more carbs to support energy, mood, and sleep, while endomorph/Kapha types may do better with lower carbs and more metabolic stimulation.

3. Personalization is Key Carbohydrate needs depend on body type, activity, and current health. The healthiest diet is one tailored to your unique body and life stage.
