Listeners can find Matt and
Megha at ketoconnect.net, on Instagram @ketoconnect.
KetoConnect provides a global
hub for people looking to transform their lives using the ketogenic
lifestyle. Matt and Megha are committed to publishing helpful
resources, developing delicious recipes, and offering friendly
advice to people striving to live healthier, happier lives. They
founded KetoConnect in 2016 after they realized their results from
the keto diet were too good not to share.
In this episode, we talk about
keto experiments, nutrition during pregnancy, strict keto vs.
metabolic flexibility, training your taste buds, and
more!
“That would be my major
perspective change - totally shifting the paradigm of what’s
normal. Because what’s normal now, isn’t what’s really
normal.” Matt
“When really, nothing’s
going to do it for you...you have to do it for
yourself.” Matt
“If we go on a vacation, if
we go out to eat, if I want to continue to live my life...then
metabolic flexibility has more of a place than being strict keto
ever will.” Megha
