About this listen

From the author of the New York Times bestselling Plant Paradox series comes this revolutionary take on the keto diet that debunks common myths and shows listeners how to reap the rewards of keto with less restriction

Like many doctors and nutrition experts, bestselling author Dr. Steven Gundry has long endorsed the ketogenic diet—a style of eating that heavily restricts carbohydrate intake to make the body burn fat for fuel. Because ketosis offers a variety of health benefits, including weight loss, reduced risk of illness, and enhanced energy, Dr. Gundry believed his patients’ efforts to adhere to the challenging regimen was worthwhile. That is, until his research uncovered a shocking truth: We’ve gotten keto all wrong.

In Unlocking the Keto Code, Dr. Gundry reveals the biological mechanism that makes keto diets so successful: a cellular process known as “mitochondrial uncoupling.” As it turns out, ketones are not the magical fuel source they’ve been made out to be; in fact, the body cannot run on ketones and fats alone. Over the long term, a very low carb-diet can lead to muscle wasting and poor cognitive health.

Luckily, you don’t have to restrict all carbs to reap the benefits of ketosis; you simply have to have enough ketones and other plant compounds called polyphenols present in your body to “unlock” the process of mitochondrial uncoupling. In this insightful, empowering, eminently practical book. Dr. Gundry explains the many ways listeners can ignite this process, from feasting on plant-based foods (carbs that are typically off-limits on a keto diet!) to enjoying ketone generating foods such as goat and sheep milk products, to implementing a timed eating schedule. You will even discover the real reason how superfoods, even apple cider vinegar, work their magic; and its not what they you think!

Grounded in cutting-edge science, this is the book for all the people who have tried and failed on a keto diet; for vegetarians and vegans who want to go keto; and for anyone who wants to lose weight and enjoy better health while eating a wide variety of foods. With food lists, hacks, and all-new recipes, Unlocking the Keto Code makes going keto easy and enjoyable for the first time.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

... there is one.

Very helpful, very enlightening and yes there is a pdf. The reviewer who cannot find the pdf may be not experienced in the matter so allow me to explain that you can see the pdf in the Android app and access it by the chapter menu, or you can download it via the main audible website when using Chrome or Edge.

It is certainly present and contains the recipes and the footnotes. It is not intended to be like a full copy of the whole book. It is a useful supplement to the audiobook. Hope this helps and if it does please amend your rating of the book because a low rating could reduce the confidence of someone who otherwise would try the method and be helped by it.

I can warmly recommend the book which actually explains a bt more about WHY these things work at the organelle level (mitochondria) - and why this is actually working in a way different to what we might have assumed and how that fact can be harnessed to make being in ketosis easier and making the metabolism more active and healthy, using a selection of dietary and non-dietary keys.

So far what I have been able to put in practice out of it is helping, and I am thinking of getting my own goat.

It gets my goat when people say there's no PDF and

Just like Dr Gundrys other books, this one doesn’t disappoint. I find his narrative informative and engaging. I will definitely be implementing recommended changes to my diet to try and better improve my health

Excellent, insightful book

I have been trying to get my weight to what I consider my ideal weight. With the aid of Dr Gundry’s teachings in this book, I have shifted 10 kg in two months eating a wide verity of foods.
I have not been hungry if felt I am lacking in anything
Eating out can be a challenge but not insurmountable.
I have more energy and clearer thinking.
I recommend listening/reading several times especially when you are in transition.


Changed my life.

I love how well and easy this new version of keto diet and the science behind is explained. The voice of the author is so smooth and clear I couldn’t stop listening.

Super easy and engaging narration by the author

Mostly useful but with some dodgy "Science". I found the last section on supplements particularly disappointing.... Most trials on supplements (Vitamin D, Fish Oil etc) have concluded that they are often snake oil and don't deliver the benefits. I think I would have taken Stephen more seriously if he had said this but instead I ended the book on a low note...

Some useful bits but choose them wisely and read with a pinch of salt.

Great content and great reading by the author. Very satisfying narration and suggestions throughout the book. You can now enjoy food knowing what’s happening to your body.

Science based approach and not just talkies about sugars like many other books.

Sounds like and old man reading a children’s book to a 4 year old. Super annoying. That in combination with jumpy storyline, repetition and meager recording quality made me quit listening

Annoying to listen to
