In this personal testimony, the speaker recounts their journey with the ketogenic/low‑carb diet, describing an initial period of strict carbohydrate restriction that led to a significant weight loss of about 20 lb and a feeling of great well‑being. This success was followed by a “roller‑coaster” of regaining 20–30 lb, prompting the speaker to investigate underlying health factors. They discovered thyroid issues and, after learning about perimenopause, explored how fluctuating estrogen and progesterone levels affect metabolism and overall health. The narrative highlights the interplay between diet, endocrine health, and hormonal changes during mid‑life.

Learned about the ketogenic diet. I dropped carbohydrates that year, and I'm like, this is working for me. It's so great. And I guess one thing I would like to stress to people is it's a roller coaster, because I did all of those things. I gained a few, like, 20, 30 pounds back. I did the low carb, really strict for so long, you could ask my friends, they couldn't believe it. I lost £20. I felt great. And then hormones kicked in again, and I was like, what is going on? And that's when I finally decided to figure out about my thyroid and then started to learn from you about perimenopause and all my hormones and how estrogen impacts everything and progesterone and all the stuff.
