Pros and Cons of Ketosis, Fasting, and Metabolic Flexibility

Dear ,

 

Many people try a ketogenic diet for weight loss or energy, but there’s far more to ketosis than meets the eye.

In our latest blog, Dr. Martina Sturm explains how the ketogenic state affects blood sugar, hormones, and even cancer metabolism — and how to approach ketosis safely through a functional medicine lens.

You’ll learn:

• ⚖️ Why cortisol and stress can make your blood sugar rise on keto

• 🧠 How MCT oil and Keto-Mojo tracking can improve results

• 🔬 The metabolic theory of cancer and how ketosis may support healthy cells

• 💥 When ketosis backfires — and how to restore metabolic balance

• 🩺 How to personalize fasting and carb-cycling for thyroid, adrenal, and mitochondrial health

“Ketosis isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution — it’s a metabolic tool that must be applied intelligently.”
