In this video, we're going to talk about how stress could prevent full ketosis. If a person plateaus or they aren't progressing like they should on the keto diet, in many cases, they look at their carbohydrate levels, fasting, or fats. But, stress could actually cause this as well. Stress may actually prevent ketosis. 

A very interesting article by P.F. Slawson out of the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1963, states that "80% of the adult diabetic patients gave a history of pre-existing stress (mainly in terms of losses 1-48 months) prior to the onset of T2DM." T2DM refers to diabetes type 2. 

When I was in practice, I noticed the same thing. It seemed that people who developed diabetes, usually had a history of some stress event, or they were under massive stress. 

When you spike cortisol, which is a stress hormone, you could start to break down your protein and turn it into glucose. Basically, when you have a lot of stress, your blood sugars rise. This could create insulin resistance, which could lead to diabetes. Synthetic cortisol, like prednisone, may have the same effect. 

What may help:
