How To Check Your Blood Glucose and Ketones How To Check Your Blood Glucose and Ketones Hi everyone. I'm going to show you how to check your blood glucose and your ketones using the Keto Mojo and doing so in less than one minute. Let's see if I can do it. This is the Brown's test strip. You just put a little drop of blood in there and it's going to give me my blood sugar. I keep the finger ready. 92 on the blood sugar. There you go. 92. Can you see that? And then let's do the ketones. Drop of blood on the blue strip, and it's calculating. I have a few seconds. Ketones, I want them between 1 and 3, but this is the evening. I finished eating about three hours ago. What do I have there? 0.5. That's terrible. So 0.5 to 1 is nutritional ketosis. That's the minimum I want them to be.

Glucose And Ketone Levels for Keto Diet And Intermittent Fasting Glucose And Ketone Levels for Keto Diet And Intermittent Fasting I just checked my ketone and my glucose using the Keto Mojo and my ketone level was 0.5. It's 6:30 in the evening. I ate about three hours ago and my glucose level was 93. So that's great for the glucose level. The ketone level of 0.5 is lower than I'd like to see. Technically, 0.5 to 1 is nutritional ketosis. I like my ketone level to run 1 to 3. That's when I feel my best and when it's easy to keep weight off and lose weight when needed. I do highly recommend the Keto Mojo, but normally when I check my ketones fasting, I can easily get my ketone level to one to three, which is, as I said, my goal. So get a Keto Mojo. I'll be demonstrating this on other videos and let's compare our numbers and compare why or why not we think they are where, They are for the day.

Foods That Are Rich in Vitamin K2 Foods That Are Rich in Vitamin K2 Foods That Are Rich in Vitamin K2 Vitamin K2, an essential vitamin, especially taken with vitamin D3, that's particularly important so that D3 and K2 can work together for your body to utilize calcium appropriately. But vitamin K2 is found in a lot of my favorite foods that I eat on a daily basis. No, I don't eat a low fat diet, and I do not recommend a low fat diet. Vitamin K2 is found in meat, fatty meat. It's found in high fat cheeses. Some of my favorites, the hard cheeses, Gouda cheese, for example. I know Gouda's not particularly hard, but all the hard, high fat cheeses, and also Gouda, and also Brie. Anyway, it's also in fermented foods. It's in natto, which is the fermented soybean. That's something I don't eat, but that's high in vitamin K2. As is kefir, and fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, pickled okra, etc. For more information, visit https://skipyournextheartattack.com
Calcium in The Heart Arteries Calcium in The Heart Arteries
If we all had our choice, when we get a coronary artery calcium score test, a CAT scan that gives us a number telling us how much calcium is in the coronary or the heart arteries, if we all had our choice, that number would be zero, or it would be very low, because all of the studies on this test and on calcium in the heart arteries indicates the greater the calcium, the greater your risk of heart attack, the greater your risk of stroke, the greater your risk of cardiovascular disease problems in your future, and it will shorten your life. However, there's a lot of misinformation out there about calcification in the coronary arteries. Calcification is initially a good thing. You can use calcium appropriately, if you have enough vitamin D3 and K2 for example, and other things, you can use it appropriately in small amounts to stabilize plaque.

My most common protein sources are egg, beef, & collagen peptides. Here is the protein count for common servings sizes:
Protein Guide
Egg 1 = 6 grams of protein
Beef 4 ounces = 20 grams of protein
Collagen peptides 2 scoops = 11 grams protein
What I have eaten so far today 5:15 PM 2 eggs = 12 grams protein 8 ounces beef = 40 grams protein 2 scoops collagen peptides = 11 grams protein
Total: 63 grams protein
42 grams still needed for goal of 105 grams protein!
I did not start eating early enough (noon) because I am full. So I may or may not get 42 grams more in today.
I want to stop eating at 7PM to avoid eating 3 hours before bed and to go watch the 🌅 sunset.
Every few days, I will share a variety of protein sources and the protein count. These are just some of my most common go-to’s and today’s tally at 5PM.

00: 00 The Oral Systemic Movement 00:49 The Unique Experience of the IDM Symposium 01:15 The Simplicity and Impact of Oral Systemic Implementation 01:52 Symposium Highlights: Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Learning 02:49 Virtual Participation: Engaging from Afar 04:12 The Power of Networking and Real-World Application 05:58 Reconnecting Dentistry and Medicine: A New Paradigm 08:58 The Symposium's Role in Transforming Practices and Patient Care 10:23 Invitation to Join the Oral Systemic Revolution
Well, if you've been waiting for the Oral Systemic Movement to take on, it is happening now. This is the 1st time we have a university. hosting an oral systemic event. We have Lincoln Memorial University reconnecting medicine and dentistry.
Yes, you heard me right. You can reverse that, but I'm going to say it again. We have them co-hosting us at the IDM Scholar Society, and they're going to be hosting it at the medical school with, in partnership, the dental school. So, that's right. We're bringing the two entities back together and it's going to be amazing. You're going to hear speakers that you have not heard before and that you can't hear just anywhere else.
We're going to have a lot of fun, but I think this is a really unique experience because people kind of sit back and like, well, I'm kind of waiting to see how this oral systemic takes off.
Yeah, or like, happened to me, I kept going to courses on oral systemic year after year, literally for years, and we come back and maybe try a thing or two, but it never took off like implementation.
We have it built up to be something difficult and now that you and I are working together, Lora, on patients real time, it's not hard. It's easy, it's enjoyable, better patient outcomes like we can't say enough about it. And we don't want everybody to struggle the way that we've struggled to figure this out because it's simple.
And it's, well, we know it's not, I'm sorry to say the wave of the future, but it's the future here now. In fact, if you're not implementing it into your practice, then you're not really doing the very best for your patients. It's just the truth, and you could have a better bottom line, improve your bottom line.
We're going to talk about all of that at the symposium, bringing together several different disciplines, and several different specialties within dentistry, several different specialties within medicine, to come together and actually talk about cases and talk about boots on the ground. How did we do this? How are we doing this? What did we learn? Don't do it that way because it doesn't work. So what does work? What doesn't work? How to make money at it. And most importantly, how to save lives.
And, there's no other symposium like it. And as everyone knows probably that's listening to this. And if you don't, I'll tell you that we had the 1st IDM annual symposium last year, and it was a huge success. Rave reviews, and everyone said, "We'll be back." And now, it's even better. We're doing all of that and more, combining it with the university and with both the medical school and the dental school. It's going to be very exciting and you're going to be so glad you came.
And I say so glad you came, but Lora, I'm even more excited that for those who absolutely cannot, there's a virtual option. So, we're going to have an equally engaging online live streaming with an active chat and live access to the support team, etc. So, even if you can't get away, get this on demand course.
We hope you can come because, of course, everything's always better when you're actually there and networking and in the room and meeting with people and and visiting all of our fabulous sponsors, which we'll talk more about later, our partners, if you will. And that list is still growing of the partnership involved. Anyway, it's going to be a symposium. You don't want to miss whether you can come, first choice, or join us online. It's going to be well worth your time and money. And I'm sure that the recordings will be available too. And it's really about networking people who are already doing this. So, hearing the strategies, hearing what works, what doesn't work, and just what I'm talking about, this whole trend that we have a university that is taking oral systemic and putting it into practice and be able to see what is happening on the cutting edge of what is taking place. So, I hope everyone will join us May 17th and 18th. It will be held at the Lincoln Memorial University right there in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The 7 Benefits Of My Journey So Far in Intermittent Fasting
This post is a wrap-up of the benefits of my Intermittent Fasting journey so far and why it works so well. Definitely better than any other eating regime I have tried.
It is the easiest one to stick with by a long shot, and from everything I have researched, it seems to have the most long-term and short-term benefits as well. Not by just a little bit, but by an overwhelming amount. This is also evidenced by my own results as well with this experiment.
It is is still early on yet, although at this time, behaviorally it is the greatest single impactful change I have ever made in my life. The enormity of this is still sinking in because it impacts every area of my life.
I am going to list them from the start of my day.
1. I wake up without morning fog, and my brain is fully engaged. Usually I will wake up in the middle of a thought process. Which is totally new for me. I will be aware of my surroundings, be in the middle of thinking about something, and be able to recall the rest of the previous chain of thoughts from when I was still sleeping. Now, this is separate from dreams, which I can recall more vividly as well. I have never heard of this before, nor experienced this and it is now a regular thing.
2. I wake up in a good mood full of energy.
3. I do not wake up thinking about breakfast or food.
4. I am able to get into 6th gear right away and tackle high-level problem solving right out of the gate.
5. Physically I feel and look so much better. Just the overall sense of well being is at least 50% higher the pre-iF. My skin looks better, I am a lot leaner, and my stamina has increased.
6. Emotional stability. I would say the baseline level of my sense of well-being is much higher than pre-iF. I just don’t get bummed out about things anymore. This is in part due to the higher levels of good hormones brought about by iF.
7. My income has gone up, and my sense of enjoyment from my work is way, way, way up. I am having a blast doing my work. Not that I did not before, but I wake up excited and can’t wait to work on my projects and help my customers. The only downside is that because I have become the energizer bunny, I have a tendency to push it past optimal times of work because I am so excited, but I am curbing that and making sure I get enough sleep because I know I am that much better at serving my clients with more sleep.
So all in all, Intermittent Fasting really has been a life changer and that pretty much covers it. Go 6th Gear! Cheers, Andrew
OK, you have to watch the Sales, but Aldi's has boneless prime rib for $8.99 a pound. Depending on where you live, this can easily be $10 less per pound. If you have never cut them up before, here is how you do it from start to finish. Do not cut any fat off kids!
