Then, Kristina dives into genes and how having genetic nutrition testing done can impact your lifestyle decisions.

[00:45] The First Keto Conference & Expo In New York City
- Kristina has a desire in her heart to bring the low-carb ketogenic message to more people.
- If you feel stuck or stalled, a keto conference can be just what you need.
- A keto conference can help you feel inspired!
- Whatever your story is, the Keto Symposium will help you.

[10:40] Genes vs. Lifestyle: Which Matters More When It Comes To Health?
- If you're eating too late at night, it's going to affect your melatonin production.
- In general, you are less insulin sensitive after 7 pm.
- One gene that Kristina likes to test for is MTNR1B, also known as melatonin receptor 1B.
- We have control over our genes. If you are not getting the desired results, you may want to test your genes.
- When you know what genes you have, you can empower what you are doing in your lifestyle.
[15:55] Time-Restricted Eating: Try Reducing Your Feeding Window For Weight Loss Results
- You should be done eating by 7 pm each night.
- The earlier you eat, the more insulin sensitive you become, the better your metabolic health markers, and the more weight you lose.
- If you struggle to lose weight, try eating breakfast and cutting your feeding window at 3 pm.
- When you are stuck, pivoting your mealtime will be essential to get the desired results.
[30:20] The Top Three Keto Meal Plans That Can Work For You
- Kristina recommends a Mediterranean-style keto diet with a focus on fish, olive oil, and lean protein, with some sheep and goat dairy.
- The Mediterranean-style diet works best for people who have APOE variants.
- Another keto diet that works well is paleo.
- The paleo diet includes red meat, no dairy, a lot of eggs, bacon, squash, and sweet potatoes.
- Lastly, a carnivore diet can work for you. This diet includes a lot of fatty protein!
[34:40] What You Need To Know About Genetic Nutrition Testing
- The test is $360.
- Your kit will come to your house, and you will provide a sample of saliva.
- Then, mail the kit back, and you will have results in about a month.
- Unfortunately, knowing what to do with the report is challenging once you have it.
- Luckily, Kristina will have a consult with you about your results!

[36:40] Is Counting Calories Good For Weight Loss?
- Weight loss is not as simple as counting calories.
- For instance, your sleep will affect your caloric expenditure.
- Also, gut health and mitochondrial health will change your caloric expenditure.
- The body is complex, beautiful, and intricate - counting calories doesn’t take that into consideration.
- The most important thing to remember is to eat real foods instead of processed foods.
[43:00] Many People Don’t Even Know That They Are In Ketosis
- Many very lean people out there are inadvertently in ketosis and then just have no idea.
- Lean people will bash the keto lifestyle without knowing whether they are in ketosis or not.
- If you struggle with your weight, then you need to work on getting into ketosis because your body is not naturally gravitating there.
- Remember, keto is not a high-fat diet; keto is a metabolic process.
