Introduction and Overview
As a board-certified physician with a specialization in integrative medicine, I have witnessed a significant increase in patient interest in ketogenic diets and their potential benefits for overall health and well-being. A well-formulated ketogenic diet, characterized by high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate intake, has been shown to promote weight loss, improve blood sugar control, and enhance cognitive function.
