Making changes to your diet can cause a noticeable change in body odor, but can going keto really affect your vaginal health, and is keto crotch really something you should be concerned about?
#138 The Only Way to Track Macros
When I first started keto, I needed a way to know if I was doing it “right” — since I had never been aware of exactly what ketosis felt like in my body before, I wasn’t able to recognize the signs.

#133 How to Find a Keto Doctor with Dr. Lisa Koche
I get emails and Instagram messages almost daily asking how to find a good keto doctor, and while I don’t have connections in every city, I thought it would be great to interview a keto doctor that I love and respect and get some answers from a healthcare provider’s perspective.
