Are There Long-Term Effects to Keto? Can I Stay On It Forever?

Hey, it's J.J. here. You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

Hello listeners, this is Ann Boeckle, author, blogger and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I take all things books and reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next read. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately. And I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years, and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything, you'll learn something about yourself as a reader and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read with a whole list of new books and authors to try.

A very common question, let me tell you. This is something that I've dealt with over and over again and what I really believe is that there is a time I I say my plan is Keto Green. So a healthy keto diet with healthy fats like you know, you know, grass fed bison and beef, wild caught fish, healthy oils, avocado, olive oils, nuts and see and lots of microgreens like broccoli, sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, good micronutrients to help support your body's detoxification of toxic estrogens and other hormones so that keto Green lifestyle can truly be beneficial. And I say that should be 80% of what we do. The other 10% we can feast and the other 10% can be reserved for fasting, extended fasting, and all its health benefits. So I call it the 108010 approach. 10% fasting, 80% keto green, 10% feasting. And that's when we the feasting is when we carb up with healthy foods. And as you practice this lifestyle over time, you will see time and time again how much better you feel, how much more balanced you are. And another topic to cover on this is that many people are doing keto, but they're never testing. And if you're not testing, you're guessing. There are three key ways that we test for ketones to see if our body's in ketosis. The simplest of which that I recommend and do regularly is checking urinary ketones. And I check urine ph and ketones with a combined strip called keto ph strips. So check your ketones and see urinary ketones are really accurate. The only time they become inaccurate is if you've been in ketosis for a long time that we don't see them the ketones any longer in your urine. And this is very rare. I've had a couple clients over the past six year that had been an extended ketosis for over two months and we didn't pick up their urinary ketones. Now, I've never gotten to that state because I also love that feasting. So urinary ketone testing is very easy and very reliable. There's breath ketones as well as the gold standard is blood ketone measurement. So testost, figure that out, watch what your body's doing and trust the process. Being in a keto green state, going into ketosis is not just a good idea, especially for women over 40 and certainly post menopause. I consider it mandatory for brain health blood sugar control to be the best first line of defense to fight against cancer. I know you'll love it. I do. I've been doing it now for over six years.
