Studying What Ketosis Reveals When You Take It Away with Dr. Isabella Cooper | Ep. 005

Dr. Isabella Cooper is a biochemist and pathology scientist out of the University of Westminster, and she runs one of the only labs in this field that takes no money from the food industry — so when she tells you something, it's the data talking and nothing else. Most researchers study ketosis by asking what it does when you switch it on. Isabella walked in through the back door: she took women who'd been in ketosis for years and had them stop, then watched what the body did when the thing was taken away — and what it did when ketosis returned. The body remembered. This conversation moves from the mitochondria as a kind of terrain to the wisdom buried in scarcity, the female body the literature keeps overlooking, and the woman behind the rigor. It's terrain thinking in a lab coat, and a reminder that your body is not a machine running down. It's a living system, waiting for the right conditions to return.More From Dr. Nasha Winters
