My boyfriend and I have both used keto and food to heal ourselves. While he was dealing with IBS and sibo, I had precancerous cells on my cervix, we both wanted to try a holistic path over western medicine. Two years later I'm no longer on a strict keto diet, but my relationship with food has become a lot healthier. My boyfriend still has chronic health issues, but his IBS and Sibo are gone and we're on the right path to getting him fully healthy. It's challenging to change eating and grocery shopping habits, but overall it is so worthwhile in terms of mental fatigue and energy.

Although I didn't go into it for weight loss, I ended up loosing over 20 pounds (my end-of + post-college booze and pizza weight). It's been an interesting journey, and learning how my body functions differently based on how I choose to fuel it has been enlightening, fascinating and at times depressing (bc I'm such a carb fiend) but definitely worthwhile. Especially if you have a health condition and need to help kick your body into self healing mode.
