You are amazing! 54 years old and I am just learning how to fix me! I have been considered morbidly obese pretty much since grade school/birth. Nothing I tried ever worked or gave me the desire to continue on. My daughter turned me on to the basics of fasting then I found you and your book. It has brought me to tears that I can and have the desire to continue going. I did a 36 hour fast this weekend and dropped 2.4lbs that period. I look forward to trying again for a more extended period. On the daily I work on a 15 to 18 hour variation and push for more on the weekends. Lots of Love and Thanks
Oh my goodness, Dr. Mindy. Somebody in the Resetter Collaborative Group recommended this video, and it is *exactly* what I needed. I’m definitely #3, and it helps to know that. Keeping on going here! Thank you for all the work you and your team do. You are truly a lifesaver.
@Dr. Mindy Pelz Hello, I have been fasting for 2 weeks now, lost 7kg so far, still have much more to lose. I'm a 28yo male, I used to weight 139kg, now down to 132kg. I am doing 5-6 days of fasting then 1 day of refeed (I try not to overeat). I am doing coffee with cocoa every day, I drink tea made from boiling ginger, cloves, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon and curcuma. I take electrolytes daily (himalayan pink salt, potasium chloride, magnesium citrate) with L-Ascorbic Acid (vit c). I have started to take a table spoon of olive oil every day. Every 3 days I drink broth made from boiling chicken feet to help prevent loose skin. On broth days I also mix a juice from spinach, parsley, lemon, ginger. I try to take a long walk or go swimming everyday, but not always have the energy after work. Is there anything else you could recommend me to do? My goal is of course to lose weight, but I don't want to ruin my health in the process. I also want to avoid loose skin, I want to kick into autophagy as much as possible (and for other health benefits that autophagy brings).
This is so helpful as I ordered my Keto MOJO and am excited to track my glucose and ketone. Since I started fasting about 2 years ago through watching Thomas Delauer,I am no longer hypoglycemic but now I need fasting to balance hormones. I'm over the moon that I found you on Hay House while listening to the Heal Your Life Summit! Thank you Dr. Mindy.
Great video. Starting using a keto mojo device last week after seeing this and it showed I was never getting above 0.5 ketones. So I’ve just done a 22 hour fast and it went up to 0.9. Love that it takes the guessing out of the equation and you can use the data to figure out next steps
This was incredibly helpful. Everyone should figure out their numbers, I had no idea I was pre-diabetic!!! And I am seeing the glucose numbers go up, and because of this video, I am not freaking out too much... Thank you!
yes i finally found it also...i have been looking and reading all kinds of articles... and she directed me to another video that had this one linked to it.... it helped me so very very much to understand it.
I came across your channel today for the first time. I am a post menopausal woman age 59. I’ve been having night sweats with menopause since at least age 50. It’s about 3 o’clock in the morning every single morning. I also have come to realize that my hot flashes are triggered by sugar. Putting this together from your video that the liver dumps sugar into the bloodstream totally makes sense why I wake up with night sweats and hot flashes in the middle of the night.
I started doing 36 hour fasts at age 62, now I have done it many times and I always lose some weight and feel great after. Right now I am doing one 36 hour fast a week.
Yay! Thank you! I’m in pattern #3 and I was so confused. I’ve been fasting and keto eating for 3 weeks and I’ve lost 8lbs but my overall sugars are higher. I figured that my body was breaking down the stored sugar - which is great! When my sugars test higher than average (like 139 mid morning without eating) I’m making myself move to burn it off. Walk, clean, do laundry - something physical to burn it off. This video helped me to keep going. Thank you!
I'm so excited. I took your advice and bought the Keto Mojo: 4/13/2021 I just received my keto mojo today. Tested my K and G at 3:00 PM after I had breakfast at 11:00. I fasted for 20 hours from 4/12 to 4/13 Ketones: 0.6 mmol/L - 3.49 usa Glucose: 4.8 mmol/L - 86.4 usa
Dr. Mindy, I was so confused why my blood sugar was going up in the midst of a 72 hour fast. I searched Pelz Blood Sugar and found this video. Thank you for being such a wealth of information. You are so very appreciated. ❤
Dr Mindy, I just want to thank you for this video because I keep it in my library and when I get a little frustrated with my blood sugars and my ketones not being where I thought they would should be I watch this video to remind me what's going on. I really do appreciate everything that you do and put out Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Dr. Pelz! I purchased a reader and the results have been shocking! My blood glucose is in the 70-80 range, but my ketones were so low even though I’ve been doing ADF! I realize I must be eating way too many carbs on my eating days and I’m going to implement keto. Hour 1 I was at .1 ketones, hour 24 I was at .2 and now at hour 36 I’m at .3. At this pace I assume it’ll take until at least this evening to hit ketosis. The blood reader is so much more accurate than those strips! Thank you thank you thank you!
you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any help you can offer me
WOW! BEST information I've seen ANYWHERE related to IF/Keto!!! Have not seen this anywhere. Wish I'd known this when I started this journey 5 months ago. THANK YOU Dr. Mindy.
THANK YOU!! I just got my KetoMojo and had no clue what I was doing with it, the numbers to look for, when to measure, etc. You answered all of this for me! YOU are the best.
This was extremely helpful as I begin Day 4 of the 24 Hour Fast Week. My blood sugar this morning was 109 and ketosis was .5. Understanding the concept of my liver dumping sugar overnight was a great insight alleviating my concern about my glucose reading!!
Yes please, lessons in stress management. I have never been able to deal with stress very well. Sitting in a quite room meditating etc. Most of the time I just walk away from what is stressing me out.... not always a good idea when others are involved. Thanks for all your great insight and information.
Really useful! Three day fast saw rising blood glucose and rising ketones (99/1.8) competitive athlete most of my life on a high carb diet including sports recovery drinks. Eventually just started gaining weight. When I was younger I would just cut calories and increase training volume. This was no longer working. Three hour workouts, eating like a runway model would lead to temporary weight loss followed by exhaustion and usually an injury (muscle tear, achy knees, etc.)
Thank you Mindy for speaking about pattern number 3. I can't find anyone to talk about ketones going to high when your not a diabetic. I have been doing IF for almost 2 years. The first 6 months of keto no issues with ketones to high, I don't know about blood sugar as I didn't test. Went back to normal eating and still did IF with 2 meals a day for a year and a half. Tried keto and IF again in October 2023 for two months, no great results like the first time. So after two months went Carnivore Nov 27 2023. Around day 50 got a keto MOJO meter with my cgm. First am tests had my blood sugar at 399 and my ketones flashing high. My cgm said 125 BIG difference. I am a lean mass hyper responder and so I added 35- 50 total net carbs in a day. I sent the keto MOJO back and just used the cgm and keto pee strips. When I do Carnivore without carbs, my ketone pee strips read 8.0 in the am. I also drop into the 60's when I sleep. Then boom dawn effect around 7:30 100-125. Stays in the 100's when I work out. Drops when I eat lunch around 11. This is crazy. The carbs have bloated me again and caused me to gain 1.5 pounds of body fat in less then a week. I tried a diet doctor who teaches with the other Carnivore docs and he is not much help. Who can help guide me this is so complex?
THIS VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL. I'm going to have more questions as a T2, my MOJO readings are NOT tracking the same as the women in my FLAG group who aren't. In week 1 of an advanced reset!
Wow, you have just answered my biggest concern! I am diabetic type 2 and since January I took my health more seriously. I started with keto and I lost 40lbs. However, the effect on my blood glucose was negligible. I therefore started Fasting (OMAD weekdays, 16:8 weekends) for the last month. My ketones are always above 1 but my glucose stays very high (between 8mmol/l and 15mmol/l). Unfortunately, if I take insulin to control my blood glucose I crash so I do not have a lot of options. But from the video I take that my liver and muscles are filled with glucose that need to be slowly evacuated. Many thanks for sharing the wisdom!
I was going to say the same as John, strength training is a good one, that'll suck that glucose out! It could also be stress, if your highly stressed cortisol will be making you catabolic as your body tries to turn any thing it can into glucose.
Aloha Dr. Mindy, I just started fasting and got my keto mojo today. So excited to start measuring my bg and ketone. I am so happy I found your channel and loving all the information as I am 48 years young and haven't experienced menopause. Also loving your book. Thank you 😊
Hi. New fasting and keto. Diabetic for 15 years. Uncontrolled blood sugars. Take insulin. Now found out have breast cancer. Doctor will not operate if blood sugar is over 250. Want to use this to get it down. I think I'm a pattern #3. Blood sugar goes down slightly then up. Ketone from 1.0 to 2.0 at times. Feel so much better. It has been 7 days. I know it won't change in a day-but hopefully before my operation in a few weeks. Thank you for the information❤
Thank you!!! This addresses everything I’ve experienced - dawn effect and the higher sugar after exercise (which is super defeating but knowledge is power!)
Wow! Very useful distinctions between normal conditions, stressed liver, normal sugar dumping in response to ketosis, and problematic inflammation -- and what needs to be done in response. And other sources of spikes. So valuable.
I just got my Keto-mojo device, and I've been fasting for the past week, 2--24 hours and the rest for19-20 hours. My numbers this morning were 82 and .2. I thought I would've had higher number in Ketons. Loved Loved your enlightening video that you beautifully explained everything. For the first time in my life, I feel I am in control of my body without guessing or making any assumptions. I was also much focused on the numbers on the scale and I learned from you that the numbers that I need to focus on are the Gl and Ketons. I am deeply Grateful for all your videos and heartfelt teachings. Much Love, Light, and Gratitude to you Dr.Mindy. P.S. I've had gut and liver issues in the past and it was mostly due to stress. I'd love to take a new test of my gut microbiome as I am starting my healing journey with you. I'll reach out to your team. Much Love, Blessings and Gratitude.
Thanks so much!!!! I have seen so many videos about Ketones, and have always come away confused. This made it so simple to understand and know what the different blood and ketone measurements mean. Great content for everyone, but especially for a beginner like me.
Typically, when ever my ketones showed 0.7 or above, my blood sugar would drop lower and lower to below 70, I've seen it as low as 50, and I felt fantastic at that!
@@amymsmith2540this was helpful! I’ve been healing insulin resistance and my BG was staying in the 90s for months. Now I’m keto I’m in the 50’s and 60’s
Just got my keto-mojo today! So exited to start monitoring my levels. This morning I was at 88 and .9. Hope ketones will go up in the few days. Really easy to use and gives you confidence to stick to fasting program! Love it!
Can’t say strongly enough how beneficial this information is. Thank you so much for clarifying a lot and answering a multitude of questions I’ve had. Excellent reaching video.
Hello from Greece, on keto for ca a month. Lost already 3.5 Kg of 71 kg . I got so motivated by you, I got the device for measurement of gluc & ket. A big compliment on your professionalism! ( I am a neonatologist) First measurement today at noon ( fasting already 18 hrs - 55 hrs to go for my first 72hrs) : Gluc 76 ket 0.4 I am happy to have found a community that keeps me joyfully going. That's all your work, Dr Mindy Pelz. Thank you!
Thank you so much for these videos, Dr. Mindy. I'm getting life changing results from fasting and your support with the health questions through the process makes it possible for me to keep going. *QUARANTINE LONG DISTANCE HUGS*
I have been watching your videos for days now new old doesn't matter great content and really really helpful. I was fasting in the past got down to 135lbs I am 61 and 4'10" (not a typo LOL) I have gained back 29 lbs in December of 2022 and have been stuck with them since. I love fasting and I am really hoping this is the right time for me and my body to release this excess weight. I am currently reading your book Fast Like a Girl and am very interested in reading Menopause Reset as I am post menopausal. Thank you for all you do I appreciate you and your team.
I got my keto mojo and started testing foods I was eating and just had my first day of gki less than 9 for the whole day. I never would have accomplished this without your help. THANK YOU!!! that doesn't even come close to expressing my gratitude for you.
I just started 36/12 fasting and fasting seems like a meditation for my body! I can feel my body is being purified and so calm on fasting days and I sleep way better! And agree on stress!! I was finishing my 36hr fasting and feeling so great in the morning and as soon as my kids woke up grouchy and started crying.... I could feel stress level was skyrocketing and my body was getting really angry! A few moments later, I was craving for strong sweet coffee and bread, etc
Great video - really clear and helpful advice! I have been frustrated with a worse gki after exercise, but will not worry about those numbers and look at which of the first 4 patterns I have in the morning. Thank you!
1:43 70-90 glucose fasted. 2:02 ketones over .5 2:30 shouldn’t go above 8 ketones. 6:00 liver cleanse. 8:10 toxins insulin resistant. Metal test / mold test. 10:30 wake up 3 AM coz liver pumps out sugar
Yes, I work night shift. I fast while I work since she said we’re not supposed to eat when it’s dark out. So what I do is I eat a nutritious dense meal before my shift (as long as the sun is out) and then fast during work and then sleep right away after coming home and shower.
I am so glad I found this. I hit menopause and a lot changed. It didn't help that I had gastric bypass and that totally messed up my digestion. I just started following your 80/20 protocol and I am on day six and down three pounds.
My questions is answered i am going fasting 23 hr everyday and keto my A1c was high 5.3-5.8 even I am on fasting I was shocked but now I understand thank you dr .
First of all i want to thank u for your videos on fasting which have changed my life. I was diabetic from last 7 years and my diabetes had started getting worst with increase of medication. From last one year i have turned into high blood pressure patient also . but after following your fasting tips i have controlled my high diabetes and blood pressure . i am off medicine from last two months . my purpose of putting this post is to Thank the ma'am and assist people if they have any question s.
Thank you, Dr Pelz! Just received my Keto Mojo , in France. Just used the first 10 tests to play and I ‘ ve measured glu & kte all the time 😃 Now i must order z new pack of tests and be serious on measuring Thank you for all your work and guidance 🙏
Thank you for this video. I needed to hear all this because I am a 60 year old woman with IR and have been keto and IF for a month. I will continue to work at this.
Loved this content-just completed my first reading and seeing where I land. I have been doing the IF and completed my first 3 day fast with your group in Jan. Still in shock I did 80 hours. I am now working on diet protocol for feeding the right hormones and tracking my blood sugar and ketones. What is the time length for an established "pattern"? Today is day one of tracking. You inspire me to be empowered and take my health back with knowledge. Thank you for being an incredible resource for women-my teenage daughter even wants to understand how to feed her cycle:)
Your videos are so informative. And answer so many questions which decreases my anxiety over why certain things are happening at certain times. Dr. Mindy, you are the best!
Perfect! I am honored my body is pattern 1. I have autoimmune condition and everyone kept telling me toxicity. But all my labs come back clean. No heavy metal, no copper build up, etc. So this info makes me feel like I am still in control of my health and my liver is healthy. I was doing really well with daily 20 hours fasts and the AIP diet (and coffee enemas) and lost all my extra weight and stopped (but not reversed) my vitiligo. I stopped high intensity workouts (for me they were literally another form of STRESS). So walking, chillin, fasting and sleeping!!! Then Covid hit and I went backwards. So I’m here, watching your content to get reinspired because my body is a fighter and my cure is fLOw.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been fasting for several Months now and still get frustrated when my numbers are off or not where I think they should be. I keep going back to this video to keep me on track! You are amazing and so informative! Keep bringing us videos! I don’t know what we perimenopausal women would do without you 🥰 I love your shirt! 🤍

@@DrMindyPelz I have FLAG and have read and re read it 3 times..it sits on my night stand and I read it every night! It’s a life saver..I also have menopause reset on Audible and can’t wait for the revised version coming out. Thank you:)
I’ve never checked my blood sugar or my key tones, and I’ve been on this fasting journey for over a month without one change but I just believe I should be able to find a way for it to work so I’ve stuck to it. This has been very helpful and I do want to see the video on stress. Thank you.
This is a fabulous talk! So much great information for someone fairly new to Keto. I've been doing IF for a while but am trying to get off the yo-yo weight loss/gain merry-go-round. I'm close to 5 weeks in on Keto and doing fine but not sure about my numbers and want to know exactly what I'm doing. I have a glucose and ketones monitor ordered. Your videos are a pleasure to watch because your upbeat personality is inspirational. So much good info. Thank you so much for your gift to help us improve our health. xoxo
Dr Mindy, the “dawn effect” is really plaguing me! For the last 8-10 weeks, nearly every morning between 3:00-3:45 a.m. I wake up and only about half of the time am I able to go back to sleep-and this is regardless of how early or late I go to bed. Any guidance on when this will stop?! I need my sleep! ❤
Thank you Dr. Pelz! I have been fasting, using the Ketometer and my glucose is normal range however my ketone reading is either a .04 or .05 it does not go up from there. So, based on your video, it sounds like I will have to love on my liver to help it out. It is certainly a process, lol!
I don’t care how old these videos are, they are so helpful and APPRECIATED! ❤️Thank you!
I know this was 4 yrs ago but I found it today and it was perfect to hear it in this way! Thank you!
So glad it supports you! 💙

If you exercise, that will deplete the glucose naturally.
I was going to say the same as John, strength training is a good one, that'll suck that glucose out!
It could also be stress, if your highly stressed cortisol will be making you catabolic as your body tries to turn any thing it can into glucose.
Great suggestion. I will try strength or HIIT training and see how it affects my average glucose level.
One of your reseters told me about this youtube video it was TOTALLY what i needed to hear at this time to take my IF to the next level....SO HAPPY
Yep I’m #3. Thanks so much for the explanation! I will keep on keeping on!
How do you get your ketones down?
This has helped me to understand the ketosis and glucose levels

@@DrMindyPelz I got it thru Amazon and will definitely post review.😘
Hi. New fasting and keto. Diabetic for 15 years. Uncontrolled blood sugars. Take insulin. Now found out have breast cancer. Doctor will not operate if blood sugar is over 250. Want to use this to get it down. I think I'm a pattern #3. Blood sugar goes down slightly then up. Ketone from 1.0 to 2.0 at times. Feel so much better. It has been 7 days. I know it won't change in a day-but hopefully before my operation in a few weeks. Thank you for the information❤
Thank you!!! This addresses everything I’ve experienced - dawn effect and the higher sugar after exercise (which is super defeating but knowledge is power!)
Wow! Very useful distinctions between normal conditions, stressed liver, normal sugar dumping in response to ketosis, and problematic inflammation -- and what needs to be done in response. And other sources of spikes. So valuable.
🙌
27days waterfasting, down 17.6lbs.
❤ wow! I struggled with 72 hours. Didn't quite make it. Bless you.
I just got my Keto-mojo device, and I've been fasting for the past week, 2--24 hours and the rest for19-20 hours. My numbers this morning were 82 and .2. I thought I would've had higher number in Ketons. Loved Loved your enlightening video that you beautifully explained everything. For the first time in my life, I feel I am in control of my body without guessing or making any assumptions. I was also much focused on the numbers on the scale and I learned from you that the numbers that I need to focus on are the Gl and Ketons. I am deeply Grateful for all your videos and heartfelt teachings. Much Love, Light, and Gratitude to you Dr.Mindy.
P.S. I've had gut and liver issues in the past and it was mostly due to stress. I'd love to take a new test of my gut microbiome as I am starting my healing journey with you. I'll reach out to your team. Much Love, Blessings and Gratitude.
This was so helpful and informative! I’m fasting to heal Long Covid. So helpful to know what influences the numbers.
How is your long covid doing? I am also looking for a solution for long covid. I'm hoping fasting helps.
Great video! You really bring home all the essential information that all of the other RUclipsrs leave out!
💙
Thanks so much!!!! I have seen so many videos about Ketones, and have always come away confused. This made it so simple to understand and know what the different blood and ketone measurements mean. Great content for everyone, but especially for a beginner like me.
I need more mental and stress tools, desperately! I love your videos and have been binging on them since last week when I discovered you!
Typically, when ever my ketones showed 0.7 or above, my blood sugar would drop lower and lower to below 70, I've seen it as low as 50, and I felt fantastic at that!
Is it normal? To go lower than 70?
It can be for many , 50 is where she suggests you break it or before if you don’t feel well
I measured my glucose and ketones today on my 9th day of water only fasting. Glucose levels were 2.9 and ketones were 7.1
@@dominiquogilato6188wow nice work
@@amymsmith2540this was helpful! I’ve been healing insulin resistance and my BG was staying in the 90s for months. Now I’m keto I’m in the 50’s and 60’s
Just got my keto-mojo today! So exited to start monitoring my levels. This morning I was at 88 and .9. Hope ketones will go up in the few days. Really easy to use and gives you confidence to stick to fasting program! Love it!
🙌🏻🤗
Can’t say strongly enough how beneficial this information is. Thank you so much for clarifying a lot and answering a multitude of questions I’ve had. Excellent reaching video.
Hello from Greece, on keto for ca a month. Lost already 3.5 Kg of 71 kg . I got so motivated by you, I got the device for measurement of gluc & ket. A big compliment on your professionalism! ( I am a neonatologist) First measurement today at noon ( fasting already 18 hrs - 55 hrs to go for my first 72hrs) : Gluc 76 ket 0.4
I am happy to have found a community that keeps me joyfully going. That's all your work, Dr Mindy Pelz. Thank you!
So awesome- thank you for sharing with me! Keep me posted on your progress! 💙
This video has great info. Thanks for taking the time to share. I have watched it 3x to get all the info. You are wonderful
me too, not mention all the times that I hit rewind and checked my notes. Thanks
My wife is getting your book. You're helping my mom to change her life. I've lost almost 40 lb on your principles. Thank you so much
🙏❤️
This was definitely soooo helpful to understand the blood and ketones. Thank you!
Great video!!!!!
Thank you so much for these videos, Dr. Mindy. I'm getting life changing results from fasting and your support with the health questions through the process makes it possible for me to keep going. *QUARANTINE LONG DISTANCE HUGS*
I have been watching your videos for days now new old doesn't matter great content and really really helpful. I was fasting in the past got down to 135lbs I am 61 and 4'10" (not a typo LOL) I have gained back 29 lbs in December of 2022 and have been stuck with them since. I love fasting and I am really hoping this is the right time for me and my body to release this excess weight. I am currently reading your book Fast Like a Girl and am very interested in reading Menopause Reset as I am post menopausal. Thank you for all you do I appreciate you and your team.
Thank you very much. You answered many of my questions. God bless you.
I'm just getting started and these videos are very, very helpful. Thank you!
This was incredibly helpful! Such good information!
I got my keto mojo and started testing foods I was eating and just had my first day of gki less than 9 for the whole day. I never would have accomplished this without your help. THANK YOU!!! that doesn't even come close to expressing my gratitude for you.
🙌Good for you Judy!
Great video. Looking forward to your series on stress. I’ve not realised how important this topic is to weight loss.
If my weight is coming down I'm I in ketosis.
I just started 36/12 fasting and fasting seems like a meditation for my body! I can feel my body is being purified and so calm on fasting days and I sleep way better! And agree on stress!! I was finishing my 36hr fasting and feeling so great in the morning and as soon as my kids woke up grouchy and started crying.... I could feel stress level was skyrocketing and my body was getting really angry! A few moments later, I was craving for strong sweet coffee and bread, etc
Great video - really clear and helpful advice! I have been frustrated with a worse gki after exercise, but will not worry about those numbers and look at which of the first 4 patterns I have in the morning. Thank you!
This morning Im finally in GKI KETOSIS been water fasting and today is Day 7 GKI 2.5 on my KETO Mojo 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Thank you Wendy ❤
Awesome work!
Thank you Mindy, just got a keto-mojo this week. This video was very clear on when to test and what the results .
Thank you. I’m at the beginning of healing and you make me feel less scared. ❤
🙌
Wow the brain using ketones on my brain at night , i love that part.

This has made everything so much clearer! Thank you Dr Mindy 🙏💙
🙌
Do you have a video or info on coffee enemas?
Hi. I just now stumbled onto this video but I was just curious if Dr. Mindy or her team ever answered you?
This is just amazing information. Thank you Dr. Pelz.
💙
This is the kind of stuff that makes the low carb, healthy diet struggle among the majority.
Dr Mindy, you are SENSATIONAL! Thank you for your book!! It has brought positive change to me and so many women (and men) around me ❤️
💙🙏 I love that! Thank you for your support!
1:43 70-90 glucose fasted. 2:02 ketones over .5 2:30 shouldn’t go above 8 ketones. 6:00 liver cleanse. 8:10 toxins insulin resistant. Metal test / mold test. 10:30 wake up 3 AM coz liver pumps out sugar
👌
I am new to fasting and just tested my blood glucose for the first time (120 after 20 hours fasting!). This video was very helpful. Thank you!
could i reverse this when working on nightshift?
Yes, I work night shift. I fast while I work since she said we’re not supposed to eat when it’s dark out. So what I do is I eat a nutritious dense meal before my shift (as long as the sun is out) and then fast during work and then sleep right away after coming home and shower.
This answered so many questions that I couldn't find anywhere else. 👍👏
Your videos are getting better and better ❤️👍🏻
I am so glad I found this. I hit menopause and a lot changed. It didn't help that I had gastric bypass and that totally messed up my digestion. I just started following your 80/20 protocol and I am on day six and down three pounds.
8.0 Ketones. Thank you for the guidance. It is rare that a doctor would actually put a number on it.
My questions is answered i am going fasting 23 hr everyday and keto my A1c was high 5.3-5.8 even I am on fasting I was shocked but now I understand thank you dr .
First of all i want to thank u for your videos on fasting which have changed my life. I was diabetic from last 7 years and my diabetes had started getting worst with increase of medication. From last one year i have turned into high blood pressure patient also . but after following your fasting tips i have controlled my high diabetes and blood pressure . i am off medicine from last two months . my purpose of putting this post is to Thank the ma'am and assist people if they have any question s.
Dr. Mindy, YOU'RE THE MIRACLE!!! Stress management tools please!
Thank you, Dr Pelz!
Just received my Keto Mojo , in France.
Just used the first 10 tests to play and I ‘ ve measured glu & kte all the time 😃
Now i must order z new pack of tests and be serious on measuring
Thank you for all your work and guidance 🙏
🙌🏻❤️
Thank you for this video. I needed to hear all this because I am a 60 year old woman with IR and have been keto and IF for a month. I will continue to work at this.
💪🏻
WOW I love your Dress Dr Mindy your a glamour Girl ,Thank you for great videos with so much important information in so many of them.
Loved this content-just completed my first reading and seeing where I land. I have been doing the IF and completed my first 3 day fast with your group in Jan. Still in shock I did 80 hours. I am now working on diet protocol for feeding the right hormones and tracking my blood sugar and ketones. What is the time length for an established "pattern"? Today is day one of tracking. You inspire me to be empowered and take my health back with knowledge. Thank you for being an incredible resource for women-my teenage daughter even wants to understand how to feed her cycle:)
💙💙
I'm new to fasting and your channel!!! Thank you! I'm type 2. Fighting back!
🙌
Im excited to see what my body is doing and get healthy again!
You’re amazing Dr. Mindy. Thank you for everything you do!
💛
You should do a video with professor Seyfried on metabolic diet,ketone and cancer.
Amazing!!! Thank you Dr Mindy. You’re a life saver 🛟
💙
Your videos are so informative. And answer so many questions which decreases my anxiety over why certain things are happening at certain times. Dr. Mindy, you are the best!
That's so kind of you! Thank you !
Been taking my BS ,had no idea what to do with the info until now, thanks. P.s love your outfit.
This is some great stuff, thank you very much. I am following you from Zambia, Southern Africa.
Perfect! I am honored my body is pattern 1. I have autoimmune condition and everyone kept telling me toxicity. But all my labs come back clean. No heavy metal, no copper build up, etc. So this info makes me feel like I am still in control of my health and my liver is healthy. I was doing really well with daily 20 hours fasts and the AIP diet (and coffee enemas) and lost all my extra weight and stopped (but not reversed) my vitiligo. I stopped high intensity workouts (for me they were literally another form of STRESS). So walking, chillin, fasting and sleeping!!! Then Covid hit and I went backwards. So I’m here, watching your content to get reinspired because my body is a fighter and my cure is fLOw.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been fasting for several
Months now and still get frustrated when my numbers are off or not where I think they should be. I keep going back to this video to keep me on track! You are amazing and so informative! Keep bringing us videos! I don’t know what we perimenopausal women would do without you 🥰
I love your shirt!

I have FLAG and have read and re read it 3 times..it sits on my night stand and I read it every night! It’s a life saver..I also have menopause reset on Audible and can’t wait for the revised version coming out.
Thank you:)
💙🙏
I’ve never checked my blood sugar or my key tones, and I’ve been on this fasting journey for over a month without one change but I just believe I should be able to find a way for it to work so I’ve stuck to it. This has been very helpful and I do want to see the video on stress. Thank you.
💪🏻🤗
Awesome explanation! Simple and all makes sense! Thank you, Dr.Mindy!
💙🙌 thank you for your kind feedback!
This did help a lot to understand some readings and trends in my blood glucose and ketone readings...thanks !! Answered a lot of questions...
Excellent video. I now understand these numbers and what it means for my body. You are the best!!
Thanks for watching! 🖐️
OH yes! I NEED stress relief tips. SO helpful! Thank you.
Super helpful. I saved this so I can watch again. I was really frustrated by the reading after exercise. Thanks for explaining it!
💙
This is a fabulous talk! So much great information for someone fairly new to Keto. I've been doing IF for a while but am trying to get off the yo-yo weight loss/gain merry-go-round. I'm close to 5 weeks in on Keto and doing fine but not sure about my numbers and want to know exactly what I'm doing. I have a glucose and ketones monitor ordered. Your videos are a pleasure to watch because your upbeat personality is inspirational. So much good info. Thank you so much for your gift to help us improve our health. xoxo
Dr Mindy, the “dawn effect” is really plaguing me! For the last 8-10 weeks, nearly every morning between 3:00-3:45 a.m. I wake up and only about half of the time am I able to go back to sleep-and this is regardless of how early or late I go to bed. Any guidance on when this will stop?! I need my sleep! ❤
Thank you for this video. I learned so much. I have the dawn effect and now I know why.
❤️
Thank you Dr. Pelz! I have been fasting, using the Ketometer and my glucose is normal range however my ketone reading is either a .04 or .05 it does not go up from there. So, based on your video, it sounds like I will have to love on my liver to help it out. It is certainly a process, lol!
Keep on going! 💪🏻
