Periods of ketosis or significant dietary restriction can serve as an evolutionary signal to reduce reproductive drive and focus on survival, but these periods are powerful tools that can be overused.

“i think that's totally reasonable i i agree with that there are some articles i've found if you really get into the weeds on this to suggest that in the beginning of a ketogenic diet cortisol rises and sympathetic hormones can rise and they tend to plateau long term but but i do think this is an evolutionary signal to our body like hey you might not want to get pregnant right now or for men too like you might not want to do you know too much chasing of girls right now maybe you should just go chase some food um instead of and but i think that put on the flip side i just want to make it very clear that both of us agree that having periods like this in our life was very beneficial for us and there are so many benefits it's just it's powerful medicine it gets overused in my opinion”
