Personal Health Monitoring
If you don’t know your personal stats, now is the time to begin. Why let your car stats have more importance than your body?
The word keto isn’t just a marketing buzzword. Ketosis is a metabolic state where someone has raised levels of ketones in their blood. Ketones are an alternative energy source for the body and they’re generated when the body is short on glucose (sugar/carbs).
The Ketosis and Glucose monitor from Keto Mojo is the most important tool for knowing if you’re in ketosis. At a glance, you’ll learn a very important piece of data.
Let’s say you like to spend money, yet you don’t look at your bank account balance. Would you go shopping without knowing if you can afford to? Truth: some folks actually don’t check their balance because it’s a reminder of what they don’t have. But they’ll spend anyways, and overdraft their account. That’s like eating carbs and sugar, never knowing if you’re taxing your body to the point of no-return.
If you don’t know what your A1C is (how much sugar is in your blood over the last ~3 months), then you’re already a step behind in your personal health knowledge. This measurement is as vital as anything else you can test about your overall heath, and if you’re overweight, it’s in my opinion the single greatest fact to know.
Unless you’re a diagnosed diabetic, your general practitioner may not order this test, because your insurance wouldn’t pay for it. So then it isn’t measured, and you don’t know, and that could be a problem!
Dr. Boz handles all the test ordering for you, and at this price, it’s a bargain.
Personal Vitals
- Know your blood pressure
- Know your resting heart rate
- Know what your blood oxygen level is
- Know your blood labs (more later)
- Know your body measurements (not just your weight)
Dr. Berry and Kim Howerton joined forces to create a book to educate the average reader about what labs mean. In addition to telling you explicitly what you should test, they also explain why you should test, and the meaning of the “range of data.” If your car fuel tank is half-full, you’re in range. If your fuel tank is less than 1/4 full, you’re still in range, but very low. Do you want to run around in the averages? Would you rather be above or below the average person?
The only way you’ll know is to get tested, and specifically, to get tested based on what you’ll see in here. It is worth every penny to know why, not just what!
