Thank you for showing how to properly use keto mojo. I live in Alberta and got my keto mojo when visiting my son in Houston. I now get him to send me strips.
the mct oil will spike your ketones lots, artificially. That will skew up the ketone numbers. the amount and timing before measuring would be a great information :-)
If I were betting, I'd put 100% on the contrast. I did kito from Dec to March, hardest thing I've ever done. You inspired me to get back on track. You are an inspiration to many. Lots of love to you & yours!
The fast should do it! Also when I test my GKI readings I have to do it manually too lol the keto mojo app stopped working in syncing with my meter too.
Jason, I think there is a flaw in GKI results. I find if I am active....working in the yard, working on stuff in the garage, walking, etc., my ketone levels go down. I can go from a 2.0 to a 0.8 just be doing a little exercise. So, this really messes up a gki result....by a lot. I think the reason for this is my body is using my ketones for fuel. Keep in mind, measured ketones in the blood are ketones that are not being used and are wasted if not used. At least, that is my understanding. You can test this yourself. Rest in a chair for a couple hours. Take your readings. Then go do something. Rake the yard, walk or lift weights for about 30 minutes. Then take your readings. What do you see? Then rest two hours and take readings again. What do to see? Dont eat or drink during this test.
I have had a similar experience. Professor Seyfried explained this in our discussion. It is called the Cori cycle. Lactic acid is processed through the liver back into glucose. I hope this information is helpful to you.
@@JimWooddell I agree; it might not be that simple. It's like glucose .. you want to measure 'fasting glucose'. So maybe you want to measure 'resting ketones'. I know that my ketones go up over the course of the day, but I don't recall the values I typically get after my exercise. (My exercise is fairly moderate; walking, a bit uphill at the end)
Jason sir, I listened to your podcast with Dr. Shawn Baker and you mentioned puking and acid reflux and hiatal hernia. Thinking off the top of my head, have you looked into H.Pylori and if you have it clearing this from your system? Sending prayers brother
Thank you very much for your prayers. I appreciate your concern and support. The esophagectomy successfully resolved the hernia, acid reflux, and vomiting issues. Now its the pyloris issue however its allmost all cleared up now.
I have scans this week. One includes iodine in the veins. No sugar, I did ask. The other includes nuclear injection. If I'm not mistaken that includes sugar so the cancer cells light up in the scan and are recorded in "photos"...my simple understanding. I'm really looking forward to this so I can know what has changed, if anything, since the last scans 6 months ago.
I have the older model Keto Mojo. Maybe it was available in Canada for a limited time? At any rate, I found a place online where I could order replacement strips for it, and they send it to Canada .. but, it's not the same meter as yours; my strips work with mine, and don't work with yours.
Thanks for sharing the details. I find that I need to almost fast in order to get the GKI I want. It's hard sometimes, since I like eating the otherwise healthy and great-tasting fatty red meat. But it feels truly aweful to have seizures or feel like I could have a seizure at any time, and having a good GKI typically means that I'll have a good day the day after. (there's some sort of delayed effect)
I am sorry to hear about your seizures. I understand that this must be a difficult time for you. I agree that fasting can be beneficial, and I also believe that a good GKI can lead to a good day. Have you tried intermittent fasting? I have found that it can be a powerful tool for weight management (keeping on weight by haveing bone broth and butter during the day and a big super). If you ever need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out. My email address is available in the description of my TH-cam page.
Ive been experimenting on myself with keto diet etc and using my keto mojo..what i found out is olive oil can help with lowering and and raise ketones if youve had some carbs..try it lol
I always find that what I ate the night before effects my morning readings. Too much protein lowers my gki as well as too many carbs. When I eat a steak I eat the fatty parts and leave the lean.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Very helpful. Have you tried a CGM? I am planning of starting with the Keto mojo readings and GKI....and see how it goes.
Great questions. I have no idea why Kito Mojo won't ship to Canada. It's ridiculous. I'm not sure why the bone scan dropped my GKI. It makes no sense to me. There was an injection of radioactive stuff. I don't have an explanation; I just know I tested before and after, and it happened.
I always wanted to try hollandaise... Did they mix your contrast with water? I have to request water that when I get mine. I see people in the waiting room with sprite-contrast mix.😬 On immunotherapy infusion days I go in with a short fast of around 18 hours. Fasting with immunotherapy should give a boost like fasting with chemo. I don't do bulletproof coffee in the morning anymore. Too much fat in my morning coffee messes up the GKI boost of time restricted eating. Just a little bit of heavy cream for taste is all I do now.
This is amazing feedback! I was considering cutting out the bulletproof coffee as well! Fasting with immunotherapy is going to be my next step. Lol, Sprite contrast! That sugar definitely lights up the cancer!
@@jasonwatson6104 let us know if cutting out bulletproof helps. Or delaying bulletproof it until it’s later in the day. Everything is a guess and check
Hey there! I just finished a big juicy rib eye steak, and I'm feeling pretty stuffed. I've decided to do a 24-hour fast tomorrow to give my body a break and get my GKI levels down. I'll probably just have some coffee with MCT oil and skip the butter. Hopefully, this will help me reach my goals faster!
@@jasonwatson6104my father has 2 little matastases in prostate cancer, got hormon to eliminate testosterone so psa got to zero. Now he's scheduled to radiation in 2 weeks.... Does immunotherapy advised in this case? Should the press and pulse be implemented?
Its no surprise your glucose is 101, ketones at 0,3 after eating beef only... !! meat is not ketogenic. GKI of 18. But kudos for your authenticity and honesty :-)
I have heard about this and I am willing to give it a try! I am planning to start a bone broth and animal fat fast on June 1st for 18 days. In the future, I would also like to try a sardine fast.
Really appreciate what you do!
Thank you so much for your suppoer. I really helps me keep doing these! And you are very welcome!
Thanks❣️
Thank you for your comments and support! And you are welcome! Wish i had a better GKI to report but immunotherapy really kicked me out!
You're welcome 😊
Why would anyone want to rip you apart? You are such an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey! You got this. Prayers 🙏
Thank you so much! And thank you for your support!
Thank you for showing how to properly use keto mojo. I live in Alberta and got my keto mojo when visiting my son in Houston. I now get him to send me strips.
That is wonderful! You are most welcome! Thank you for your comments and support!
the mct oil will spike your ketones lots, artificially. That will skew up the ketone numbers. the amount and timing before measuring would be a great information :-)
This is exactly what I'm going to talk about in my next video!

Me to! You got this! I just uploaded my video with kerry on kito/Carnavour. It was very insperational!
I can only wonder how the GKI values influence everyone's metabolic health. Thank you for demonstrating this.
You are very welcome. I bet more then most people know.
Thanks!

One nice thing is that I get results in mmol/L for both glucose and ketones. Which makes more sense to me, and makes it easier to compare.
Thats awsome you can get strips!

Great advice! I do the same thing, unless I'm still hungry, then I'll eat the lean parts, lol! Thanks so much for your support and input!
Thank you so much for sharing this. Very helpful. Have you tried a CGM? I am planning of starting with the Keto mojo readings and GKI....and see how it goes.
Yes! Looking into buying one right now!
What does cgm mean?
Can I ask why you can't buy a ketomojo in Canada.. can I also ask why bone scan would increase your glucose? Do they inject contrast? Cortisol Inc?
Great questions. I have no idea why Kito Mojo won't ship to Canada. It's ridiculous. I'm not sure why the bone scan dropped my GKI. It makes no sense to me. There was an injection of radioactive stuff. I don't have an explanation; I just know I tested before and after, and it happened.
@@jasonwatson6104 That radioactive stuff is GLUCOSE

Try using metformin to drop glucose
Wish I could help my friend. It's not available here to me. No doctor will prescribe it and you need a prescription.
Its no surprise your glucose is 101, ketones at 0,3 after eating beef only... !! meat is not ketogenic. GKI of 18. But kudos for your authenticity and honesty :-)
See newer videos. I have learned and grown alot. You are corect I was eating way to much food and way to much protien.
Sardines fast for the best GKI
I have heard about this and I am willing to give it a try! I am planning to start a bone broth and animal fat fast on June 1st for 18 days. In the future, I would also like to try a sardine fast.
What is imuno therapy?
It's a targeted treatment for cancer.
Do you take berberine??
Yes 500mg 3 times a day
