In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Don Colbert, joined by Kyle and Mary Colbert, reveals why the Keto Zone isn’t just another diet—it’s your metabolic sweet spot for burning fat (especially belly fat), gaining crystal-clear mental focus, slashing inflammation, balancing hormones/neurotransmitters, reducing stress, and reclaiming youthful energy. Forget fad extremes like strict carnivore or outdated Atkins. If you’re battling fatigue, brain fog, cravings, or stubborn weight in 2026, this is the real playbook for lasting transformation.
🔑 What You’ll Learn
- The Keto Zone defined: A true lifestyle shift to nutritional ketosis—burning fat for fuel (not sugar), with anti-inflammatory fats to avoid the pitfalls of traditional keto or Atkins.
- Why classic keto/Atkins often spiked cholesterol and inflammation (seed oils, excess dairy, inflammatory fats/toxins in animal fats like PCBs/dioxins/DDT).
- Carnivore diet dangers: No fiber leads to constipation, colon/kidney stress, missing antioxidants/vitamins/minerals, higher cancer/heart risks—Keto Zone wins for sustainability.
- Benefits unlocked: Mental clarity, better neurotransmitters/hormones (serotonin, dopamine), reduced stress, explosive energy, better sleep, appetite control via balanced leptin/ghrelin.
- How to enter & test the Keto Zone: Use urine strips (turns purple = success), aim for 20–50g net carbs/day, focus on healthy fats (high-polyphenol olive oil, avocado), moderate protein.
📏 Key Targets for Success
- Net Carbs: 20–50g/day (subtract fiber from total carbs; e.g., almonds: 6g total – 3.5g fiber = 2.5g net).
- Macros: High healthy fats (~75% calories), moderate protein (maintain muscle), very low carbs.
- Testing: Keto urine strips for purple color = in the zone (nutritional ketosis, not dangerous ketoacidosis for non-type 1 diabetics).
Pro Tip: Pre-diabetics/diabetics may take 2–4 weeks to enter; pair with exercise, Carb Assist, or berberine for faster results—many reverse type 2 naturally.
🥑 Top Anti-Inflammatory Fats & Foods
- High-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil — Most powerful antioxidant; use generously (PJ’s or quality sources).
- Avocado & avocado oil — Daily staple for healthy fats.
- Omega-3 rich — Salmon (2 oz = 500mg+), supplements if needed (90% deficient).
- Non-inflammatory dairy — Goat/sheep/feta over cow.
- Avoid — Seed oils (canola, soy, corn), excess cow dairy, gluten, fried foods.
- Note: Include fiber (veggies, Fiber Zone) for gut health, appetite control, and avoiding carnivore pitfalls.
🚩 Signs You’re Not in the Zone (Yet)
- Brain fog, low energy, poor sleep, high stress/cravings (inflammation blocking neurotransmitters).
- Leptin resistance (“food noise,” nighttime munchies) from insulin issues.
- Constipation/bloating (low fiber in extreme low-carb approaches).
🧠 Keto Zone vs. Carnivore/Atkins/GLP Meds
- Atkins/Traditional Keto: Often inflammatory (too much dairy/seed oils); spikes cholesterol for many.
- Carnivore: Extreme, lacks fiber/antioxidants/essential nutrients; raises toxin exposure/cancer/heart risks.
- Keto Zone: Anti-inflammatory upgrade—healthy fats, fiber, balance for long-term energy, reversal of pre-diabetes/type 2, lower blood pressure (body excretes excess salt).
- GLP Meds: Can pair well for appetite control in resistant cases, but Keto Zone addresses root causes naturally.
💊 Tools to Accelerate Results
- Instant Ketones — Enter ketosis in 20–30 min; boosts clarity/energy/sleep (great nighttime for fat-burning).
- Fiber Zone — Volumetric hack: Fills stomach, cuts ghrelin/appetite, ensures daily bowels.
- MCT Oil Powder — Add to coffee for sustained fuel.
- Carb Assist/Berberine — Curb cravings, support blood sugar.

- Focus on anti-inflammatory fats (olive oil, avocado), 20–50g net carbs, moderate protein.
- Test with keto strips; add Instant Ketones/Fiber Zone for faster entry and appetite control.
- Monitor blood sugar/pressure (many wean off meds); exercise to accelerate fat burn.
- Reassess in 4–8 weeks—aim for sustained energy, clarity, and health wins.
⚠️ Safety Notes
- Type 1 diabetics: Avoid strict keto without medical supervision (risk of ketoacidosis).
- Kidney issues or meds: Consult your clinician before big changes or supplements.
- Monitor sugars closely if diabetic/pre-diabetic—levels can drop fast.
