Welcome to Ketosis & Fasting Masterclass
What You Are Likely Getting Wrong About Ketogenic Eating and Fasting
In this masterclass, Dr. Terry Wahls will give you an in-depth look at the benefits of ketogenic eating and fasting and tips to avoid associated risks. You will learn how ketogenic eating and fasting can lessen inflammation, reduce pain, and “youthen” you, that is, achieve healthier aging.
Here are two of my most viewed videos to help guide you in the kitchen:
The Essential Wahls Kitchen

Purging The Home of Inflammatory Foods:
A video to guide you through a pantry review, helping you sort out what is helpful to keep in the pantry and what you should remove.

Yourlabwork Lab Testing—Monitor your labs for a more precise intervention
Basic Labs
I suggest you start here.
Order lab testing at a discounted rate from YourLabwork.com/wahlsprotocol
The reference ranges and interventions can be found begining on page 346 in the book.
I recommend these tests every three months as you are optimizing your diet and lifestyle to get your values into the optimal range. These basic tests evaluate the health of your detoxification processes in your liver and kidneys and how well you can make blood cells. It will also provide a basic evaluation of your metabolism and hormone function.
- CBC
- ALT
- Creatinine
- Fasting lipids
- Glucose
- Hemoglobin a1c
- Fasting insulin
- Highly sensitive CRP
- Folate
- B12 (cobalamin)
- Homocysteine
- Free T4, Free T3, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone)
- Vitamin D
General labs
These are additional labs that more thoroughly assess your general health and nutritional status. These are also very helpful for optimizing your diet and lifestyle choices. I check these on myself once a year to be sure they are in the optimal range.
- Comprehensive metabolic panel
- Urinalysis
These are more advanced nutritional status labs:
- RBC magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium
- Omega 3/6 index
- Coenzyme Q
Advanced Lipid Testing:
- This looks at particle size, particle number in addition to Lipoprotein(a), apolipoprotein B
Food Sensitivity Testing
The elimination diet is the gold standard to determine which foods you react to. However there are times that additional testing may guide you to understand which foods are causing an abnormal immune response.
These test for the IgG antibodies which are associated with food sensitivity issues and are different than IgE which test for food allergy.
Food allergy is associated with swelling of the throat and closing of the airway, which has the potential to be fatal. Food sensitivity is associated with a more gradual, general increase of inflammation molecules and autoimmune related symptoms.
