The documentary called Cops and Cabins showed police officers as they attempted to decompress. When Eric Reynolds saw himself in that short film, he realized how heavy and sick he looked. As a cop, he maintained an active lifestyle, playing basketball and carrying weights. Nevertheless, as overweight as he was, he dealt with continual injuries.
A friend mentioned the ketogenic diet. He'd never heard of it. But he was ready to make a change. So he before he began his keto journey, he researched what it was, and how it worked, including meal planning and macros tracking.
In very little time, the weight began dropping away. More than weight loss and physical changes though, he also experienced improvements in his mental health, perception, and emotional stability.
In this episode, the retired police officer discusses his struggles with PTSD and how the carnivore and ketogenic diets have given him a better life.
