Michelle's Journey

Michelle's Story

T
H

Therapeutic

Primary care physician (PCP) to monitor blood work. Check in with therapist every quarter.

I

Integration

Monitor blood panel, supplement with MCT, Unimate by Unicity (concentrated yerba mate designed to increase fatty acid oxidation and ketone production), and electrolytes.

N

Nutritional

Modified animal based ketogenic diet. I keep my fat % high, protein % moderate, and I flex in some carbohydrates to support my distance running.

K

Ketosis

Rarely test, but when I have tested in the past my ketones have been between 1.0-1.3.

S

Sleep

I prioritize sleep! Rest=recovery. I'm in bed by 10 pm at the latest and up by 6 am most days. I use a white noise machine, sleep in a cool dark room, and do a short meditation before bed.

M

Move

Long distance running 6 days a week. Strength training 2 days a week.

A

Avoid

Avoid negative people, ultra processed foods, sugars, seed oils, and limit caffeine to 2 servings daily.

R

Rebuild

I started new career working as a dietitian helping type 2 diabetics reverse their disease. I've been able to speak at several conferences on low carb nutrition. I started a charity project where we purchase local beef for the food pantry. I'm spending more time connecting with friends and family.

T

Track

Full metabolic panel twice a year, track running performance, and have trusted friends that check in regarding overall mood and eating behavior.
