Top 7 Benefits of a Ketogenic Lifestyle

Today's episode is sponsored by LMNT, my go-to electrolyte drink mix that I recommend to anyone who wants to stay hydrated.  Everyone needs electrolytes to function and when you sweat, adopt a low-carb diet, or practice intermittent fasting, your electrolyte needs increase. If electrolytes aren’t replaced, it’s common to experience headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue. LMNT replaces these essential electrolytes with NO sugar, NO coloring, NO artificial ingredients, or any other junk. And it tastes absolutely delicious! I really love all of their flavors, but my favorite is raspberry. As a member of our community, you can claim a free LMNT Sample Pack - you only cover the cost of shipping.
