so I had another question do medications slow down your keto and intermittent fasting results okay let’s just kind of look at some of the top medications number one if you’re a diabetic you’re taking either metformin or insulin or other drugs that increase insulin okay now both of these right here will definitely slow the results because the goal is to lower insulin okay and this is kind of acting as a crutch to help insulin resistance but it’s not correcting it it’s kind of like temporarily kind of patching him then we have steroids like in prednisone or cortisone injections for inflammation or skin problems this is an adrenal hormone this will definitely block your keto results in fact this will greatly stimulate insulin and that’s why one of the side effects of taking corticosteroids or prednisone is diabetes antidepressants will also slow your results actually one of the side effects is weight gain because it increases insulin statins also increase insulin resistance it worsens the result but here’s the thing what you want to do is you want to continue the medication get with your doctor as you improve because these two actions right here keto intermittent fasting will decrease the need for these medications your blood sugars are going to improve your incident resistance is going to improve to the point where you need less and less of these okay and because you tell when intermittent fasting greatly improves inflammation the need for steroids will go down as well if you’re taking it as an inhaler for asthma the need for that will go down as well and you can get with your doctor to make the adjustments so you’ll take less and then the results will speed up antidepressants one of the great benefits of keto within a minute fasting is elevated mood I’ve seen so many times someone who is depressed and anxiety ATD any type of lower emotion greatly improve when you do this because your brain now can run on a different fuel source so it’s wonderful for mood elevation so the need for this will go down also make sure that you’re doing healthy ketosis with a lot of good high-quality foods very very key because you want those nutrients to speed up the results stands why do people take statins for high cholesterol well that’s the easiest thing to lower when you put someone on keto and in the fasting so the need for this will go down and as you get off these medications the results go higher and higher and higher but don’t just come off the medications get with your doctor and make the adjustments graduate over time and but the goal would be to eventually come off these alright thanks for watching so I’m doing a survey for future videos on topics that you are interested in this one is going to be on your biggest keto difficulty if you wouldn’t mind filling out the survey down below I put a link in the description please fill it out thank you so much
