Ketosis
The Metabolic State of Fat-Burning
Ketosis is a natural metabolic state where your body burns fat as its primary fuel instead of glucose. When you restrict carbohydrates enough (typically below 20-50g per day) or fast for extended periods, your liver converts fat into molecules called ketones, which your brain and body can use for energy. This is a normal, healthy process that humans have relied on throughout evolution during times of limited food. Nutritional ketosis produces ketone levels of roughly 0.5-3.0 mmol/L—high enough to provide the metabolic benefits but nowhere near the dangerous levels (over 10 mmol/L) seen in diabetic ketoacidosis. Being in ketosis often brings mental clarity, stable energy, reduced hunger, and easier blood sugar management.

The standard approach treats high blood sugar with medications while ignoring what caused it: chronically high insulin. A different approach—addressing the root cause—achieves remission rates up to 46% in real-world settings. Here's the evidence most doctors never see.
