Welcome to my personal blog! I’m Angela Akinpelu, PA-C, and I’ve spent years working as a healthcare provider and co-owner of RejuVe Medical Group, helping patients take control of their health. Throughout my career, one approach that has truly stood out to me is the ketogenic diet. I’ve seen it transform lives—both my patients’ and my own—and that’s what inspired me to write Navigating Keto: A Comprehensive Wellness Guide.
I wrote the book to serve as a practical resource for anyone looking to embrace the ketogenic lifestyle, whether for weight loss, better energy, or managing chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes. Through my work, I realized there was a need for clear, science-based guidance on keto that could be easily applied in real life. This guide provides exactly that—simplifying the process so anyone can take steps toward a healthier, more vibrant life.
Breaking Down the Ketogenic Diet
For those who may be unfamiliar, the ketogenic diet focuses on high-fat, low-carb meals, shifting your body into a state called ketosis. In ketosis, the body burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, which can result in significant benefits such as weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and enhanced mental clarity.
What sets the ketogenic diet apart is how it encourages your body to efficiently use its fat stores as fuel. When carbohydrate intake is minimized, insulin levels drop, allowing fat to be broken down for energy. This metabolic shift not only supports fat loss but also helps reduce inflammation, boost cognitive function, and stabilize blood sugar levels.
In Navigating Keto: A Comprehensive Wellness Guide, I explore the science behind these processes and offer a step-by-step approach for anyone who wants to give keto a try, whether for health improvement or personal wellness goals.
My Passion for Keto
As someone who has spent years helping people regain their health, I’ve seen the ketogenic lifestyle work wonders. It’s not just about losing weight—it’s about feeling empowered and gaining control over your health. Watching my patients’ lives improve, and experiencing the benefits firsthand, has driven my passion to share this information far and wide.
Through this blog, I’ll be sharing insights from my book, as well as practical tips for anyone at any stage of their keto journey. From common myths to meal planning strategies, I’ll cover a wide range of topics to help you stay informed and motivated.
What You Can Expect in Future Posts
In the coming weeks, I’ll be diving into more specific topics, starting with the basics of ketosis and how to successfully achieve it. Whether you’re new to keto or looking to refine your approach, there will be plenty of valuable information to help you along the way.
Stay tuned and thank you for joining me on this journey toward better health through the ketogenic lifestyle!
