Get Your Mojo On With All Things Keto – Dorian Greenow with Dave Asprey – #824

• We’re our third generation of meter. We’re now in 26 countries. – 2:40
• We just launched our new GK+ meter back in October, and we dropped the price again by a further 20%. – 4:07
• There are different types of keto but having it data-driven helps you refine it into the bio-individuality. – 5:16
• I was on antidepressants for many, many years and I found that when my ketone levels were between 1.1 and 1.7, that was my zone.  – 6:46
• What we measure is in the tank, we don’t measure how good your mitochondria is at receiving ketones nor how good your liver is at creating them.  – 8:10
• There are three different types of ketones. You’ve got acetoacetate which can be detected sometimes in urine, that’s a urinalysis strip. There is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is measured in the blood. And there is acetone that can be detected in the breath, but they’re not all created equal.  – 13:21
• Our meter, not only does it have FDA certification, but it has Euro CE certification. It also has MDSAP certification. – 16:13
• Virta Health has clinically shows that they can reverse the effects of type two diabetes in 55% of people. That’s writing off 150 billion straight off the balance sheet,  – 18:39
• There’s 450 people today at stage renal failure. There’s 4,000 people today who’ve just been diagnosed with type two diabetes.  – 21:52
• We also have a foundation where we use some profits from the company and the goal of that is to fund clinical trials and studies into the efficacy and use of ketogenic therapies for the benefit of humankind. – 22:52
• What’s the margin of error for the Keto-Mojo, the blood things versus say continuous glucose monitor?  – 26:03
• Glucose moves quickly, ketones move slowly. So beta-hydroxybutyrate is very stable in the blood.  – 30:23
• I like to do a baseline every morning about an hour after waking, because there is a dawn phenomenon. As you know, you’re going to get that cortisol spike. – 33:14
• From my experience, your ketones are generally always lowest in the morning. And they climb on up to during the day. I tend to get my peak just before my evening meal.  – 36:45
• Most wines in America have been done for the American palette, which has obviously, they like glucose. And so, they push the RS, the residual sugar really high. – 39:42
• What’s going on with breathalyzers in ketones? – 41:09
• Help me understand why ketones go down over time when you’re good at ketosis.  – 45:43
• “We’re a compass. We help guide you. Your roadmap is going to be different to somebody else’s roadmap.” And that’s the important bit. That’s the bit that I love about what we do. – 50:11
• I haven’t put it behind a paywall. Look, if you’re not using my meter, okay, you can still manually enter it. You can still manually sign up to My Mojo Health Cloud Connector.  – 52:42
