So, I just listened to this podcast, and overall it was great. I really enjoyed almost all of what Amy had to say. She clearly knows her business. Then she said, “I’m going to write a book for men… because heart disease is a big killer, but it’s the number one killer of men…” As a WHNP this make me want to pull my hair out. Heart disease is also the NUMBER ONE KILLER OF WOMEN, and is much more of an insidious killer for us because it presents differently in women and is often discovered too late. Keto, as we know it, is designed based on men’s physiology. What we need more of is how it impacts female physiology. I don’t really know why, but this one section of the podcast infuriated me.
I just had to get that off my chest. Overall it was a great podcast, but this just struck me in a visceral way.
