Dear ,
The health benefits of olive oil are well-known.
Even fat-phobic diet culture has embraced olive oil as a part of a healthy diet.
There are
just too many studies on its heart-healthy advantages to ignore.
But there’s a little-known benefit of olive oil that might make you drizzle a little more on your salad tonight…
As the world comes together to figure out ways to
strengthen the immune system naturally, experts are turning to foods and nutrients that can support your system throughout cold and flu season.
And olive oil might help.
We know that high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil is
packed with antioxidants that can help lower inflammation and battle metabolic disease.
Translation? Olive oil may help strengthen your immune system
That’s right -- inflammation and metabolic disease lead to lower immune function, making you more
susceptible to viruses, bacteria, and other infections.
But there’s a catch. You have to have the right kind of olive oil.
You need high-antioxidant oils to get those anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting
benefits.
And the truth is… most store-bought oils have already been sitting on the shelves for months, slowly losing their potency.
Not only that, many brands water down their product with cheaper oils.
Even when you’re paying for the real thing! And because of lax FDA guidelines, the manufacturers don’t even have to disclose it on the label.
The ONLY way to get the immune-boosting benefits of pure extra virgin olive oil is to choose a brand you
trust.
That’s why we highly recommend Kasandrinos Olive Oil,
straight from the ancient vines of Southern Greece.
Every bottle of single-origin Kasandrinos Olive Oil has a harvest date and lot number. That means you know exactly when and where your oil was harvest and cold-pressed.
With Kasandrinos,
you don’t just get a great-tasting bottle of olive oil -- you get the purest possible oil, harvested using Old Word methods from the land their family has tended for generations.
In fact, they don’t sell anything that’s been sitting on the shelf for more than one season.
If you want the health benefits of olive oil, you have to have the best.

Crash Course: Keto Diet 101
The ketogenic diet has become one of the world’s hottest
trends in weight loss, health and athletic performance. And that’s for a good reason...
Countless people have achieved better results on keto than any other way of eating. From better brain function, reduced cancer risk, more energy, fewer cravings, less hunger and rapid fat loss – the benefits of a keto diet can be profound.
Keep reading to discover exactly how the keto diet works... and how you can achieve the health and metabolic advantages keto can provide - while still enjoying ALL the foods you love.
The Path from Sugar Burner to Fat Burner
Your body is an amazing machine…
Like a hybrid car, it can use various fuels to power your muscles, organs and brain. Your two primary sources of fuel are
sugar (glucose) and fat. But there is a catch. You cannot burn both at the same time.
That’s because excess sugar in your bloodstream can be very damaging – even deadly. So when sugar is present, your metabolism is hardwired to burn it first. Fat burning is put on hold. And any sugar that remains after your caloric needs are met is converted
into triglycerides and stored as body fat.
When you consistently consume excess carbohydrates, your body has no choice but to burn sugar and store fat. And after a period of years or decades, you become very proficient at burning sugar… and very inefficient at burning fat!
But you are not meant to be a Sugar Burner!
Back to the analogy of a vehicle – sugar is a “dirty” fuel. Consuming and burning sugar creates widespread inflammation, oxidation and glycation – the three pillars of aging and disease. It’s also an inferior energy
source that burns out fast.
You also have a very small gas tank for storing carbohydrates (your glycogen stores). That’s why Sugar Burners need constant fill ups. Burning sugar puts your mood, energy levels and appetite on a constant roller coaster that revolves around when you can get your next carbohydrate fix!
Healthy fats, on the other hand, are your factory-specified fuel. They burn clean and slow, and produce FAR more energy than sugar. What’s more, the human body has almost unlimited capacity to store fat. Even a person of average weight has enough body fat to power their metabolism for months.
Your body is designed to be a Fat Burner!
The great news is that by adding the right fuel to your vehicle, you can transform your “metabolic machinery” back to its factory setting. And that’s exactly what the ketogenic diet can do for
you!
What is Ketosis?
The Ketogenic Diet is a way of eating that is rich in healthy fats… moderate in protein… and very low in carbohydrates. It is designed to put your body in a state of
ketosis.
Ketosis is the natural metabolic state where your energy needs are met by the healthy fats you consume and by the unsightly flab stored on your belly, butt and thighs. In fact, even the dangerous visceral fat that surrounds your organs is broken down and turned into energy.
The ketogenic diet is different from most diets, because it specifies the amounts and ratios of macronutrients (fat, protein and carbohydrates) you should consume. We call these the Magic Macros – and what’s magical is how quickly and effectively this way of eating can transform your body and health!
In general, on a caloric basis, the keto diet should be comprised of:
- 65% – 80% Fat
- 15 – 30% Protein
- 5% – 10%
Carbohydrate
That is a fairly wide range of flexibility. It reflects the fact that we are all unique. We have different responses to fat, protein and carbs. We all have different activity levels. And as we become fully fat adapted, we may be able to tolerate more carbohydrates – and still remain in ketosis.
You will achieve the greatest success and fastest results by limiting your carbohydrates to around 5% of the calories you consume. For most people, this means between 20 and 50 grams of carbs per day.
By restricting carbohydrates – and filling your plate
with healthy fats and protein – you compel your body to find another fuel source. Continue this process for a few weeks, and you can transform your metabolism from a lifelong sugar burner to a highly efficient fat-burning machine!
As fats are broken down, they are converted into clean-burning ketone bodies by your liver. Ketones are the highest quality fuel you can
burn. Not only do they produce long-lasting energy, they even help convert cellular waste, junk proteins and damaged or mutated cells into fuel!
Ketosis is like spring cleaning for your cells. It is truly the deepest form of detoxification – and can help to cleanse and renew your body at the cellular and mitochondrial level!
A Few Words for the Doubters: Ketosis is Natural & Healthy!
There is a good chance you’re familiar with the doubters and naysayers, who say that it is “unhealthy” to abstain from carbs or that “forcing” your body into a state of ketosis is unnatural.
What is truly unnatural is how the vast majority of the population eats – where more than half of their calories come from grains, starches and sugar!
It is important to understand that not only is nutritional ketosis the
healthiest metabolic state for most people – it is also perfectly natural.
Newborn babies enter ketosis within 24 hours after birth. And it is their mother’s fat-rich milk that helps them rapidly grow and thrive. Our ancient ancestors also thrived on ketones, during the winter months when high carbohydrate foods weren’t available.
In fact, ketones are what allowed our hunter gatherer ancestors to remain sharp enough to complete a successful hunt – even after days without food. In our modern world, many indigenous cultures consume diets that closely match the macronutrient ratios of keto… as they have for thousands of years, without experiencing any of the health complications so common in our
modern world.
The human race simply would not have survived without the ability to utilize ketones...
If you are already following a Paleo / ancestral framework, it should be very easy for you to transition
to a ketogenic diet. You will likely need to reduce carbohydrates, while increasing your consumption of healthy fats.
In addition to fatty cuts of meat like ribeyes and pork shoulder, I like to cook above-ground vegetables (like broccoli, cabbage, collards) with a healthy serving of butter, pastured lard, tallow or duck fat. This is a delicious way to
increase your consumption of satiating and healthy fats… without adding too many carbs to your diet.
Here at Healing Gourmet, you’ll discover how to achieve the metabolic state of ketosis as quickly as possible... how to maintain it with the least effort... and how to avoid common side effects experienced during the first few weeks.
To Your Health,
Kelley Herring
