Summary: Low-carb, high-fat diets may deliver short-term results, but prolonged suppression of glucose metabolism can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced thyroid function, and chronic fatigue. In this episode, we explore the mechanisms behind this metabolic shift, the role of linoleic acid in energy production, and practical steps to maintain balance for long-term health.
