Strategy Image

Key Symptoms Addressed

Confidence, motivation, energy, and executive function

My Top Three Strategies

Keto, intermittent fasting, and movement

T
H

Therapeutic

I did not have a care team. I was not on any medications. I did this on my own and learned as I went along thanks to the internet.

I

Integration

I really went into this without doing any tests. No supplements at first. I did end up using electrolytes from time to time.

N

Nutritional

I aim to consume 20-30 (total) grams of carbs a day. I'm an omnivore. I don't generally track macros. I usually eat 2 meals a day, 16:8 is a natural eating pattern for me. I find including some extended fasts very beneficial. I love a 36-48 hour fast as a reset once in a while. This really gets my ketones up. It feels great.

K

Ketosis

When I started I used the urine strips. We didn't have the Keto-Mojo available yet in Canada. I have one now and I feel best at .5 to 1.7.

S

Sleep

I walk in the morning, have a cool room to sleep in, and limit/have no food 3 hours before bed.

M

Move

Running and walking are great. Best when I can do them outside. Strength training is very beneficial.

A

Avoid

I limit my alcohol. I now rarely drink and find being in ketosis limits my 'desire' for alcohol. It's something I noticed right away that I no longer needed a drink after a hard day at work or a stressful event.

R

Rebuild

Reaching out to friends and trying to connect more with my community is a part of my focus. I think connecting with people in the metabolic health space is also very important. I continue to seek out like-minded people who have used ketogenic therapy and found healing.

T

Track

I don't track that much. If I'm feeling off, I will just use my Keto-Mojo to make sure I am in ketosis.
