The keto diet is everywhere—celebrated by influencers, marketed by supplement companies, and even backed by some doctors. But is it really good for your body?

In this episode of the Restorative Longevity Podcast, Jimmy Yen, L.Ac., reveals what most don’t tell you about the ketogenic diet. Drawing from clinical experience—not lab studies—Jimmy explains why nearly 100% of his patients who tried keto ultimately sought help for unresolved health issues.

💡 What You’ll Learn:

🔹 The true origin of keto—and why it was never meant for weight loss

🔹 Why short-term gains can lead to long-term damage

🔹 The 7 dangerous side effects of keto, from heart and kidney issues to cognitive decline

🔹 How keto disrupts gut health, hormone balance, and immune defense

🔹 Why fat-burning doesn't mean brain-boosting—and may accelerate aging

📣 Key Takeaway: Keto may help you lose weight or reduce symptoms temporarily, but it’s not a sustainable or restorative solution. The risks outweigh the benefits—especially for those over 40.
