Correction: For the lemonade chugging contest at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="140">2:20</a>, the amount of sugar should be double. 1 gallon = 128 fl oz of lemonade = 336g sugar 🤯

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1550">25:50</a> this turned into a joe rogan podcast

[@johntatman9168]

It would seem that eating a keto or carnivore diet would give similar results.

[@edwintorres2124]

How dose this product affect older cyclist or age is not a factor ? I am currently taking Nitric Oxide supplements to help with improvement of eudurance while I am riding my bike. If taking both products , would there be any side affects or spike up Heart Rates ?

[@chaz6399]

I'd love to try your Ketone IQ product, but I don't want to spend $120 just to try it. If you believe in it, why not make a single bottle available? If people like it they'll step up to the three pack or even a case, if you offer it.

[@janmckee8674]

The body produces ketones!

[@janmckee8674]

They have said patients with Alzheimer’s would benefit from low carb diet, coconut oil, MCT oil or ketones. Alzheimer’s is being called diabetes type 3 or insulin resistant brain. They can’t process glucose in their brains.

[@ketone-iq]

We sell in 3packs (1 month supply) to drive down the shipping cost per bottle. We offer single bottles in retail stores. Please note we have a 60day no questions asked refund policy on hvmn.com if you're not totally happy with your purchase. Have a nice day!

[@ketone-iq]

@@janmckee8674 That is correct. And it's a good idea to eat low carb and exercise to cause your body to make more ketones. Drinkable ketones have many of the same benefits as the ketones your body creates, especially for crossing the blood brain barrier to power your neurons. Many in our community find it helpful to have drinkable ketones on demand. Have a nice day!

[@JoshPerryBMX]

Well done!

[@Ridicvideo]

Good one would love to use ketones for wound healing.

[@iamthefiremanjj]

Anyone see any mood benefits on the keto diet ? What about just going carnivore ?

[@living4christ]

I have been keto for a while. I thought carnivore was crazy until I started looking into it. Been doing it for almost a month and I feel amazing. It feels so good.

[@fatehw]

Can you take ketones under pregnancy and during breastfeeding?

[@Maintain_Decorum]

Don’t risk it.

[@alvarezgamers]

@@Maintain_Decorumdon’t risk what ? Lol

[@robertwood9984]

What do Massai mothers eat? Are they low carb? How healthy are their babies?

[@mattm1686]

I do so much better on a keto/carnivore diet on my body can utilize ketones for energy, other than just sugar and carbohydrates

[@Maintain_Decorum]

We are ‘messing’ with Mother Nature, I hope there are significantly more studies to verify safety.

Why do I read that the brain can only use glucose for fuel?

[@davepaul8975]

What is the deal with showing the power point screen approximately one ninth of my screen? Definitely can not see the details. POOR POOR POOR

I love ketones, god talk But what have mushrooms and NASA with keto, only make the talk Fancy

[@azamat775]

According to its principle, this drug is no better than hormone injections. When commerce intervenes, don't expect good results.

[@svensvenson6797]

When there is a good way to live, there are always people trying to make maximum cash from it. Exogenes ketones are a waste!

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

I believe this guy used negative/positive feedback loops in the wrong way. The context I learned it from told me negative feedback loops means damping down the intensity, while positive feedback loops mean enhancing the intensity, but what this guy used I believe it was using the result as positive or negative instead.

[@wellnesspathforme6236]

I understand it like this: Positive feedback loop: a feedback mechanism that produces increased positive results with each progression cycle. Negative feedback loop: a feedback mechanism that produces increased negative results with each progression cycle. For an example of the latter, drinking alcohol after fighting with one's spouse leads to more fighting, leads to more drinking, leads to more fighting... would be a negative feedback loop in my mind.

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

@@wellnesspathforme6236 From Wikipedia: “Negative feedback (or balancing feedback) occurs when some function of the output of a system, process, or mechanism is fed back in a manner that tends to reduce the fluctuations in the output, whether caused by changes in the input or by other disturbances.” Your alcoholic example is a typical positive feedback loop, adding magnitude to the existing problem.

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

@@wellnesspathforme6236 and positive feedback “Positive feedback (exacerbating feedback, self-reinforcing feedback) is a process that occurs in a feedback loop which exacerbates the effects of a small disturbance.”

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

@@wellnesspathforme6236 and finally, something positive or good and something negative or bad are subjective. There are things simply just not good or bad, but simply happens, or something can be good for some but bad for others.

[@wellnesspathforme6236]

@@LittleRadicalThinker Thanks for clarifying. I assumed negative described the outcome! Thanks for clarifying. Makes perfect sense minus the bad assumption.

[@realMartinHamilton]

I eat a 39 cent potato and fuel my brain with glucose which is the preferred fuel. If I am in ketosis and eat a potato then if the brain preferred ketones it would avoid the glucose. Humans aren't efficient at de novo lipogenesis like cows and other animals, thus humans get fat by eating fat. Natural carbohydrates (complex carbs) like the potato are a must; never eat refined carbs (bad carbs).

[@theskyehiker]

This guy talks like a used car salesman. Just saying….
