Optimal Protein Podcast (Fast Keto) with Vanessa Spina


Jun 25, 2019

Dr. Nevada Gray recovered from a rare condition known as Cauda Equina Syndrome and lost over 90 lbs on her health journey. On this episode we discuss how Nevada found Vanessa and the 28 Day Ketogenic Girl Challenge program and the ketogenic diet in her recovery from Cauda Equina Syndrome, her incredible weight loss and full recovery, as well as many topics that she has uncovered in her recovery including oxalates, iron levels and doing a ketogenic carnivore diet for the past 18 months.

Nevada is a pharmacist and registered nurse with 20 years experience helping patients navigate the healthcare system and empower themselves back to health with fitness and nutrition. After suffering a rare partial spinal cord injury in 2016 called cauda equina syndrome and plagued by PCOS, Nevada researched and empowered herself to a full recovery outside of the healthcare system utilizing the ketogenic diet. She also became a NASM certified personal trainer during her 2 year recovery, with a special interest in functional training. For the past 18 months Nevada has followed a strict carnivore diet and has become an emerging leader in the functional medicine movement, helping others achieve the results they desire, whether it be weight loss, improvement in health markers or mindset.

She can be found on her popular Instagram account @thepaleopharmacist, www.thepaleopharmacist.com 

She is also a co-host on her own Podcast Mind Body BREAKTHROUGHS with CarnivoreKeto Coach Chris Donahue.

Prior to beginning a ketogenic diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a ketogenic diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a ketogenic diet, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A ketogenic diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet].
