Description:
In today’s episode, I’m welcoming on the ultimate expert in the ketogenic diet for female brains, physiology, and entrepreneurs — Dr. Stephanie Estima!
Dr. Stephanie is an expert in metabolism and body composition. She’s a doctor of chiropractic with a special interest in functional neurology, brain metabolism, and specifically, the application of the ketogenic diet and fasting to female physiology.

She’s also the podcast host of the very brand new show, Better! With Dr. Stephanie. She’s also a very dear friend of mine.

BADASS FUEL — Fuel for Badass Women

Two years ago, someone asked me what supplements I take to maintain my health, energy, and edge — and they were surprised that I only took four things consistently. For myself and my patients, there are four basics that support — at a foundational level — nearly every system in our bodies. In my quest for the highest quality ingredients and the easiest system for consistently incorporating supplementation to my routine, I formulated and manufactured my own line of foundational supplements. Trusted for myself and my patients, and under the guidance of your own healthcare provider, I’m excited to invite you to check out our foundational product line: Badass Basics. Learn more or order the products yourself by visiting BadassFuel.com!
