Nobody believes this works but this is my hack. I take 20 oz of water, 2 scoops of MCT powder, 2 scoops of electrolytes with salt, half a package of Celsius drink mix(I use half to limit my caffeine to 100mg in the drink) and 5 grams of creatine I take about 10 minutes to drink it on the way to the gym. I can workout for 90 minutes without getting exhausted. I do this on a fasted stomach in the morning before my workout. My last meal is always before 4 pm the day before. After my workout, I have no appetite other then maybe thirst for water. Days I skip this routine, I get exhausted 40 minutes in my workout and feel like skipping cardio. World of a difference with MCT oil, but I find the electrolytes help it. This routine for 3 months has allowed me to shed 1-2 pounds a week. Prior no weight loss with same routine. I think the drink boosts fat burning by priming you while also curbing your appetite.

@@15MileMedia You need to buy a device to measure them, I use a Keto Mojo GK+. It will measure blood sugar and ketones with a finger prick. Keto Mojo will also calculate your GKI ( Glucose Ketone Index { blood sugar in mg/dl divided by 18, then take that number and divide by ketones). So, ideally, you would want a low blood sugar and high ketones, which is a GKI under 9. If you can get it under 1, you would be in the highest therapeutic level of ketosis, but that's more for cancer patients, I think. Under 9 means your metabolizing fat more than sugar. Usually, you need ketones of at least 0.5 mmol/L to have a shot of being in ketosis.

The genetic or “familial” diseases has been debunked except for extremely rare diseases. It’s the same food and lifestyle that creates the same issues. Carbohydrates store excess insulin as fat. So the bread rice, pasta, flours, sugars sodas etc cause all the problems. Cut them out of your diet for 3 months and only eat animal products and drink filtered water, tea coffee etc, no alcohol. It’s a big lifestyle change but you’ll feel a million dollars. All your bloodwork will show you.

I’m now up to 1/4 cup of MCT oil a day. I take a measured TB four times a day, never on an empty stomach. How long can I keep this up if I’m looking to reverse arthritis?

[@tiffanys3509]

What if I already have a bottle of liquid MCT oil. Same result? I’m not buying yet another supplement that may not do anything. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@mycrochetobsession]

I think so. I’m in the same boat-and MCT is NOT cheap. I forget to take it but I intend to give this a go.

[@KJB0001]

go for it, go to her site to see how many mg and then do the math, but i would say that a quarter cup mentioned in the title is a big clue

[@tiffanys3509]

@@KJB0001 yeah that’s what I was thinking initially but then she’s only talking about it in a capsule form so I wasn’t sure.

[@tiffanys3509]

@@mycrochetobsession I’m gonna give it a go too!

[@gemspiritmessages2754]

Anything in capsules form is just that ingredient in a capsule. It’s just easier for some people to tolerate instead of tasting the product. ❤

You can do the same thing, only better, by Grounding, it halts the inflammation immediately. You should thrive to stay grounded as much as possible....Grounding is the most important health measure, and this Dr. Should be talking about it regularly. Everything else she recommends will have even more profound effects

@drboz after a couple days of diahrea(pretty sure from mct) and dizzyness that almost sent me to er, i am no longer making ketones and glucose is over 100! My dbr was 50 and under for several weeks! Still eating 80/20 like i was before this happened! Any advice greatly appreciated. Still off balance with electrolytes but improving

[@katiescarlett5249]

Most people are not aware, that coconut oil is a saturated fat.

[@mdV-7-1]

What time of day did you take 1/4 c MCT? I take a slug in the morning and will try 1/4 cup to boost ketones, does it matter when?

[@samwiseg7380]

Do you have to be doing keto to take MCT oil? Is it dangerous if you're running on glucose?

[@RobertGray_USNA86]

Will Tudca, Digestive Enzymes, Colostrum, and/or Dessicated Liver Supplements help deal with the Gut Issues on MCT?

[@gordonross4583]

CAN YOU USE C8 MCT OIL TOPICALLY ON A SWOLLEN KNEE (FOR EXAMPLE) ? (i.e. Rub the oil, on the knee) ? If so could you put DMSO on The Swollen Knee first, then....... etc ???

[@jrowlove7328]

Please be safe with Milton coming.

[@holysmoke7043]

You got stomach ache from so many capsules. Just take MCT by spoon.

[@judyjetson4582]

Where's the follow up video? I've been searching, and don't see it!

[@robertfanfalone3099]

For MCT Oil would substituting Coconut Oil be alright?

[@markashlock9017]

Wait…I thought you said you fed your son massive quantities of sardines to get through his injury in rapid fashion? Or was this a different injury?

[@terrybriggs3289]

Just got the liquid stuff yesterday, starting out with 1 table spoon daily, if I'm still constipated will increase up too 3 tbls daily

[@joanmollagrean5949]

Which MCT oil do you utilise coconut or the palm kernel oil?

[@joen.8364]

And your cholesterol levels, and possibly ALT levels (fatty liver possibly)?

[@kc6071]

A person has to be in ketosis for this to work, correct?

[@mickeydougal]

I started this recently, but I'm working up to the 1/4 cup level. Holy mackerel, you're not joking about the diarrhea! 🤪😜

[@sicilianmama70x7]

Doesn’t a good coconut oil have the same benefits?

[@lone982]

Start with a small amount. Any more than 18 ml in a coffee gives me terrible pain followed by running to the toilet ....

[@bigmort6916]

MCT oil gives me headache unfortunately, I have tried it a couple of different times and still the same results 🙁

[@raysteel6317]

When you mentioned "inflammation" I wondered if it would help with severe internal hemorrhoids?

[@pacospete4299]

So you're saying MCT oil will benefit muscle recovery after an intense workout ?

[@linda.ll.7744]

❓❓😊Is MCT safe for me?? I've wanted to use MCT. But with PBC, Stage 3CKD, Nephrolithiasis leading to one kidney dysplasia. Post menopausal (Hashimoto's), severe constipation, and undiagnosed gut problems...my Dr.'s still have me on scads of pillls. HELP PLEASE❗❗
