Healthful Pursuit Podcast

Leanne Vogel wrote The Keto Diet: The Complete Guide to a High-Fat Diet, which became one of the bestselling keto books on the market, and her Healthful Pursuit brand has been a fixture in the keto community since before the diet went mainstream. She's a Functional Medicine Practitioner and Holistic Nutritionist, and the podcast reflects her approach of combining ketogenic principles with functional medicine and a strong focus on women's health. The show has been running since 2015 and has over 560 episodes in its catalog. Vogel mixes solo episodes with guest interviews, covering topics like emotional eating, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal balance, gut health, and the psychological side of dietary change. Recent episodes have tackled food relationships, adrenal health, and how stress impacts metabolic function. New episodes drop weekly, typically running 30 to 50 minutes. The pacing is relaxed and personal rather than clinical. With nearly 2,000 ratings and a 4.6-star average on Apple Podcasts, the audience is substantial and engaged. Vogel is open about her own health struggles, including her past eating disorder, which gives the show an emotional honesty that purely science-focused keto podcasts often lack. She's particularly good at addressing the messy reality of maintaining a keto lifestyle long-term, the days when it doesn't feel easy, the hormonal shifts that complicate things, the social pressures. If you're looking for a keto podcast that acknowledges the human side of dietary change and speaks especially well to women navigating this space, Vogel has been doing it longer and more thoughtfully than most.
