How did you discover keto?  

My wife started keto back in March of this year. At the same time, I was recovering from a horrible (near-deadly) bout of Covid and looking for some ways to get healthier and stronger. She was listening to a podcast she kept telling me about, and I had stumbled on some YouTube videos I kept telling her about. 

One day, we compared notes and realized we had both stumbled onto YOU, Dr. Berg, at the same time, just in different places. We had been healthy and in great shape at one time. We knew about the dangers of sugar and stayed away from it. We understood the concept of eating whole foods and the importance of eliminatingprocessed foods. But years of raising and caring for a daughter with a severe disability had kept us in constant stress, and we often managed it with poor choices,alcohol being one of them. 

After Covid, I knew I had to make a change. I believed I had one. That’s how I found your videos. I devoured them constantly and learned so much valuable information that I immediately put them into practice, including some key missing pieces I had never put together before: the concepts of lowering insulin and fasting. 

On March 25, I had my last drink, then went all-in on Healthy Keto® before moving on to intermittent fasting and eventually extended fasting. I incorporated weight training, HIIT cardio, and LISS cardio. I walk 45 minutes a day, EVERY DAY, before each workout, and I have ZERO alcohol.  

How has your health improved since you started keto?   

After 6 months, I have lost around 60 lbs. (242 lbs. to 185 lbs.); my liver enzymes and triglycerides are in normal ranges, and, at 54 years old, my testosterone levels aresimilar to when I was 44, 10 years ago! 

I feel better than I have in decades, and I believe that I’m going into an exciting new chapter of life I didn’t know was possible. My workouts have exploded to new levels, and my body is responding in ways I thought were over for someone my age. I occasionally lift weights in a 30-hour fasted state and want to keep lifting. I’m not hungry. I have endless energy and am ready for the next challenge. Now, I don’t think about the number of candles on the birthday cake. I also don’t think about the cake. I just think about the next goal and the next way to get stronger and healthier.  

Any other details you want to share?   

My life has truly transformed, and so much of it is because of you and your steady stream of free information, Dr. Berg. Please don’t stop talking and sharing your knowledge. The world needs to hear it. And it’s working. I honestly cannot thank you enough.
