The award winning director Caroline Moise brings the camera into operating rooms and research labs to challenge what we thought we knew about obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Weaving together perspectives from the world’s top doctors in the fields of keto and fasting, Keto Is Key reveals stunning truths about the origin of chronic disease and how keto and fasting – two practices as old as human existence – can lead us back to health.
“Keto and fasting are powerful antidotes to chronic disease. This film is a stage for medical doctors to explain why and how. As an avid ketovore and prolonged faster who has seen immense benefits from implementing these tools in my lifestyle, I believe this film must be made to raise global awareness.” – Caroleen Moise, Director.
By reducing carbohydrate intake and shifting the body to fat as its primary fuel source, the keto diet has demonstrated potential in lowering inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity—key factors in mitigating autoimmune responses. Fasting further enhances these effects by promoting autophagy, a cellular repair process that can regulate the immune system and reduce the accumulation of damaged cells.
