April Feels Better at 47 than She Did at 27!

My LCHF/keto journey has been unique to me, just like most others truthfully. When I started during June of 2016, I was fed up with being tired all the time, having no energy, struggling to stand up from a floor-seated position, and having to take meds for constant acid reflux.

What is Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) & Why It’s the Most Efficient Fuel

What is Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) & Why It’s the Most Efficient Fuel

The body has a variety of fuel sources it can use, all with different benefits and downsides.
