In the past few months since the world went on lockdown, many of us have spent more of our time in worry than ever before. Fear of our financial future, the health of our family or the grim prospect of never being able to find a partner has been keeping many of us up at night.

You can’t escape it! Everywhere you go lately, you are bombarded with ads and products for the ketogenic diet aka Keto. There is a large body of evidence supporting the use of the keto diet for diabetes, migraines, seizures, and cancer.
