Putting Epilepsy Into Remission and Losing 80 Pounds with Keto | Jen Winkler

The Evolving Wellness Podcast with Sarah Kleiner Wellness

Think only prescription medication can put epilepsy into remission? Think again.

In this episode of The Evolving Wellness Podcast, I chat with Jen Winkler about her personal experience with going on prescription medication to get her epilepsy under control, only to end up being put into remission and losing 80 pounds naturally with the keto diet. Jen explains how little time it took for her body to experience relief from seizures and how long she’s been following the keto diet. In addition to relief from seizures, she explains how her thyroid numbers are looking like and what her blood sugar is like since going keto.

Jen also explains how she got over the fear and anxiety over eating carbs when she thought for so long this is what caused her to gain weight in the past. Through carb cycling and fine tuning her diet and exercise routine, carbs no longer scare her nor should they scare other women either.

Jen is a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Her credentials are: Primal Health Master Coach through Primal Health Institute (PHMC), Functional Blood Chemistry Specialist through Fundamenta Wellness (FBCS), Medical Practices Specialist (CMP) and currently completing her Hormone Coach Certification through Fiat Institute. Jen’s goal is to help exhausted women who struggle with blood sugar crashes, insulin resistance, PCOS, PMS, hormonal imbalances. She helps women using either a low-carb, ketogenic, or carnivore approach to eating and tailoring it to each individual woman, their health concerns, and what works for their lifestyle and budget.
