A new study published in September 2020 found that there is a specific diet that can slow viral replication, making it especially effective for COVID-19 and all viruses for that matter. This is incredible news, because contrary to what mainstream media wants you to believe, you do have control over how vulnerable you are to viruses, by changing what you eat and when you eat it. The study found that  “a diet regimen of ketogenic breakfast along with supplementation with two doses of lauric acid-rich MCTs at breakfast and lunch times, followed by 8–12-h IF and a dinner rich with fruits and vegetables, could be a potential prophylactic strategy and adjuvant therapy to combat SARS-CoV-2 infections.” Intermittent metabolic switching

Ketosis is a state of healing that signals your body is burning fat for energy.  This is why most people come to fasting and the ketogenic diet, for weight loss. But there are so many other amazing health benefits to ketones. Ketones travel up to the brain and enhance neurological healing. Ketones increase GABA and calm the brain.

When to check your blood sugar and ketone levels You'll be taking two sets of readings. The first set of blood sugar and ketone readings will be taken as soon as you wake up and
