Hi Jimmy and Will, Several months ago my elder sisters (71 and 72 years old) started keto after seeing how well it worked for me (I'm quite a bit younger at 57). They're well on their way to their weight loss goals but they've recently noticed there might be some age-related and gender-related considerations for women who are 70+ years of age. Would you guys talk about some of these things they should be thinking about? Thank you! Carolyn – What can be done about unexpected weight gain while in nutritional ketosis? Are my hypothyroid and pain medications making things more challenging for me? Dear Jimmy and Dr. Cole, I listen regularly to Keto Talk and I'm grateful for all of your valuable information. I’m 5’6” tall and weigh 179 pounds as a 61 years old woman and have been keto for a couple of years. I started eating this way when my family doctor suggested I may be pre-diabetic with a fasting blood glucose of 101. My blood ketones remain in the 1.5-2.0 range, so I know I’m burning fat. Initially I lose 55 pounds, but for some strange reason I gained back 10 pounds. Although I have a function medicine medical doctor, she’s no fan of me trying longer fasts because of my hypothyroid issues which I take Armour thyroid for. I’ve tried changing things up in the way I’m doing keto, including a protein sparing modified fast with significantly less fat than I typically eat and carnivore. These did help me lose some weight, but both gave me problems and the weight I lost came right back on with my regular keto diet. I am currently preparing for a women's mini-triathlon (1.5 mile kayak, 11-mile bike, and 3.1 mile walk or run) which takes place in February. I did this last year in a fasted state and did great! I feel like that's not going to be the case this time around. I'd like to at least remain keto but I’m thinking being mostly carnivore is where I feel my best. I will add that my doctor prescribed me Gabapentin 100mg for me to take at night to help with pain that interferes with my sleep. Do I need to add in additional carbs to what I’m doing to help with these issues or should I be concerned? Thanks, Colleen – Are there any specific alterations to keto for people dealign with the condition known as Long QT?
