Joomee Kyler

I did it all on my own. I tried counselling and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, but I wasn't on medication.

Lipid panels, A1C, ALT, and I was being monitored with ultrasounds because of my fatty liver. I repeated A1C every 3 months in 2023, because I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in Dec 2022, and it showed my diabetes was reversed by March 2023. Abdominal ultrasound earlier in 2023 showed didn't mention the sign of fatty liver (reversed). I incorporate intermittent and extended fasting. I do daily 16hr fasts, and occasionally do meal-less Mondays (42hr fast). Every 3 months, I do 72hr reset fasts.

I tried to stick to animal proteins, natural fats including saturated fats and minimally processed oils such as olive or avocado oils (no seed oils), and cooked/fermented vegetables (no root or starchy vegetables). I don't consume grains or sugary fruits. I take Omega 3, Magnesium Bisglycinate, and Vitamin D3+K2.

I did whole-food keto, but I didn't count my macros.

Stop eating at least 4-6 hrs before going to bed, guided meditation, mouth taping

I do cardio and body weight exercises 3 times a week.

I cut down alcohol completely during the healing phase. Now I'm drinking socially once in a while, and it doesn't seem to affect my mood, because I was never really into alcohol. I was a carb addict, so I am still on strict keto/carnivore diet. Carbs are my weakness.

I dived into my spiritual journey while I was dealing with my health issues, mostly because I was just trying to understand why this was happening to me. But once the anger passed, I started feeling this sense of gratitude. I’m here now, stronger and healthier than ever, because of what I went through. And now, I can share my story to help others. I know not everyone is going to listen, but if I can help even just one person, then all that suffering was worth it. It can be a lonely journey. Keto and fasting still aren't mainstream, and there are plenty of naysayers. But I think that’s why our community is so tight. I want people to listen to our stories to show them that they can turn their lives around, too. You can live a happy, energetic, and fulfilled life without chronic pain, illnesses, depression, or anxiety. You have to be your own advocate. If something feels wrong, don’t settle. Ask questions, do some research, and look at different points of view. Don’t be afraid to try something new, if what you’re doing isn't working. Just keep an open mind. I'm into art and photography, and that's my creative outlet. I also enjoy playing the piano. And I do guided meditation (yoga nidra). Recently, I joined Metabolic Collective as a volunteer, and connecting with similar minded people help me stay emotionally resilient.

I was on CGM for my diabetes, but didn't monitor ketone levels.
