Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Cool Whip. It's in the freezer of half of America and shows up in "healthier" dessert recipes all over the internet. Except does Cool Whip deserve a spot in your freezer? Jenn's digging into the ingredient list most people never bother to read, breaking down what happens when a company swaps out one ingredient and quietly adds a handful of others to keep the taste and texture the same, and exposing a labeling loophole that lets products claim zero grams of trans fat when that's not quite the full story. Is Cool Whip the dairy-free, guilt-free treat it's marketed to be, or is there more going on behind that fluffy white dollop? Jenn compares it side by side with the old-fashioned alternative and shares exactly where she lands. You'll have to listen to find out if Cool Whip makes her list. Like what you're hearing?

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about the Feel Bar. A viral Instagram reel promising organic ingredients, adaptogens, and a bold dig at a competitor sent Jenn straight to the nutrition label to see if The Feel Bar lives up to the hype. The protein and fiber numbers look promising, but a closer look at the sweeteners, the source of fat, and a mysterious mismatch between the marketing graphics and the actual package raises a few questions. Is the cordyceps dose high enough to make a difference, or is it more marketing than function? Is this really a "notice how you feel" kind of bar, or just another premium snack riding a trendy ingredient list? Jenn breaks down the ingredients, the math, and the messaging to figure out where the Feel Bar really lands to help you determine whether it earns a spot in your snack rotation or stays on the shelf.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Protein Doritos. Are these bold, crunchy chips actually a smart snack upgrade, or just clever marketing from one of the biggest food companies in the world? With 10 grams of protein per serving and a shorter-than-usual ingredient list for a Dorito, they might sound like a win, but is that the whole story? Jenn digs into the nutrition facts, the fat sources, the GMO disclosure, and that ever-important question of what "one serving" really looks like in real life. Could these actually be a better protein snack than a certain celebrity protein popcorn? And more importantly, do any of us really need protein packed into our chips?

For decades, we've been told to avoid saturated fat. But what if one specific saturated fat is actually essential for healthy aging? In this episode of the ReThink Health Podcast, Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson and I discuss a groundbreaking discovery that could completely reshape how we think about fat, aging, and metabolic health. While studying aging Navy dolphins, Dr. Venn-Watson and her team uncovered something unexpected… The healthiest, longest-living dolphins consistently had higher levels of a little-known fatty acid called C15:0 (pentadecanoic acid). And researchers now believe C15 may qualify as the first newly discovered essential fatty acid in over 90 years since omega-3s were identified.   In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Venn-Watson explains how decades of low-fat dietary recommendations may have unintentionally lowered our intake of this critical nutrient. Plus, we cover what that could mean for rising rates of insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, accelerated aging, and metabolic dysfunction.   You'll learn:   What C15 actually is and why scientists are calling it a potential essential fatty acid How dolphin research unexpectedly unlocked new insights into human aging and metabolic health The surprising connection between low C15 levels, fragile red blood cells, iron overload, and accelerated aging Why higher C15 levels are associated with lower risks of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease How modern low-fat dietary trends may have contributed to widespread C15 deficiency Which foods naturally contain higher amounts of C15 The connection between C15, metabolic health, inflammation, liver health, and biological aging What RDW (red blood cell distribution width) may reveal about aging and cellular health If you've ever wondered whether all saturated fats deserve their bad reputation… or why rates of metabolic disease seem to be skyrocketing despite decades of low-fat advice… this episode has the answers!   VALUABLE RESOURCES Paleovalley Omega-3 Complex >>> Support brain health, inflammation balance, and cellular functioning with clean, highly bioavailable omega-3s.

BIO Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson is a veterinary epidemiologist, longevity researcher, and CEO of Seraphina Therapeutics.   While working with the U.S. Navy-trained aging dolphin population, she discovered groundbreaking links between the fatty acid C15 and healthy aging, metabolic health, and cellular resilience. Her research has contributed to a rapidly growing body of evidence suggesting C15 may be an essential fatty acid with important implications for human health and longevity.   Dr. Venn-Watson has authored more than 80 peer-reviewed scientific papers and is leading ongoing research into the role of C15 in metabolic function, inflammation, liver health, cardiovascular disease, and aging.

Gary Taubes on Rethinking Diabetes: Diet, Insulin, and the History Behind Low-Carb Treatment: Journalist Gary Taubes is author of “Rethinking Diabetes: What Science Reveals About Diet, Insulin, and Successful Treatments.” The book traces diabetes treatment history and argues that carbohydrate restriction was standard care from 1797 through the early 20th century until insulin therapy shifted practice toward drug-centered management and higher-carbohydrate diets. Taubes explains how insulin's discovery changed dietary priorities, how later technology (radioimmunoassay) revealed that most diabetes is type 2 with insulin resistance and high insulin rather than deficiency, and why giving more insulin can worsen weight gain. They discuss major trials (including ACCORD, ADVANCE, and Look AHEAD) that failed to show benefits from intensive drug-based glucose control, the influence of low-fat guidelines, Richard Bernstein's role in blood-glucose self-monitoring and low-carb control, controversies about obesity models, ketosis vs ketoacidosis, GLP-1 drugs, and LDL increases on ketogenic diets.

Plant-based diets reverse heart disease better than statins or surgeries, while meat and dairy elevate cholesterol and cancer risk. #HeartHealth #Cholesterol #PlantBasedReversal #CardiovascularCare

Only nine scientists were asked to advise on the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and Dr. Tom Brenna was one of them. In this conversation, he pulls back the curtain on how dietary guidelines are actually made, why the process has never been the same twice, and what it was like to watch a decades-old saturated fat recommendation get carried forward despite a lack of evidence supporting it at the level of total mortality. This is the dietary guidelines conversation the internet has been missing: straight from someone who was actually in the room.Want ad-free episodes?

Angela talks to Dr Sarah Berry about the controversial topic of seed oils and their impact on inflammation and cardiovascular health.  Dr Berry, who has gained notoriety for her views on seed oils, clarifies the role of saturated fats in increasing LDL cholesterol and cardiovascular risk, emphasising the importance of the food source from which these fats are derived. She also highlights the nuanced differences between unfermented and fermented dairy products, explaining how the fermentation process alters the health effects of saturated fat WHAT YOU WILL LEARN Saturated fat is known to increase LDL cholesterol and is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease.  The source of saturated fat matters, as different food matrices can influence health outcomes. Unfermented dairy products, like butter, are linked to increased cholesterol and cardiovascular risk Fermented dairy products, such as yogurt and cheese, do not have the same negative effects despite containing saturated fat. There is significant individual variability in how people respond to changes in saturated fat intake.  Some individuals may experience substantial reductions in LDL cholesterol when reducing saturated fat and increasing polyunsaturated fat, while others may see little to no effect.

In this episode of Walk Don't Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD breaks down one of the most debated topics in nutrition: saturated fat. For decades, saturated fat has been blamed as a major cause of heart disease—but what if the evidence isn't as clear as we've been told? This episode explores the history behind dietary guidelines, the evolving food pyramid, and why current research is challenging long-held beliefs about fat, cholesterol, and overall health. You'll learn how whole foods, processed foods, and the broader "food matrix" play a much bigger role than simply avoiding saturated fat. If you've ever been confused about what to eat—or felt like nutrition advice keeps changing—this conversation will help you think more critically about the science behind it all. Key Takeaways Saturated fat has been widely criticized since the 1950s, but much of the original evidence is weak or inconclusive Recent research shows little to no clear link between saturated fat and heart disease or mortality Not all saturated fats—or foods containing them—are the same (whole foods vs. processed foods matter) Dairy, red meat, and other whole-food sources of saturated fat may be neutral or even beneficial Ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, and white flour have far stronger evidence of harm Overall diet quality, lifestyle, and metabolic health matter far more than focusing on a single nutrient     [1] Talukdar, J.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health.

Dr. Bret Scher, medical director of the Coalition for Metabolic Health, discusses making metabolic health the foundation of medicine amid rising obesity and type 2 diabetes and reports that 93% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health. Scher defines metabolic health using markers including glucose, insulin, triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and waist size, and cites evidence linking insulin resistance to heart disease, stroke, cancer, psychiatric illness, and other complications. They discuss simple self- and lab-assessments (waist-to-height ratio, fasting insulin with glucose/HOMA-IR, triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, CGMs). Scher critiques the Eat Lancet report for assuming one optimal diet, reliance on low-quality nutrition epidemiology, potential nutrient shortfalls, and environmental oversimplification, while supporting newer dietary guidelines that allow lower-carb approaches. Part two covers contradictory nutrition studies, distinctions between low-carb and ketogenic diets, emerging “metabolic psychiatry” and ketogenic therapy for mental illness and cognitive decline, limits and rebound risks of GLP-1 drugs, and Coalition efforts to improve school food and influence policy.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 3-12-2026: Dr. Dawn discusses Michael Pollan's critique of MAHA dietary recommendations, agreeing that ultra-processed foods should be avoided but noting the lack of science supporting high saturated fat intake. She acknowledges extra virgin coconut oil as an exception that doesn't raise LDL, and pushes back on the social Darwinism embedded in anti-vaccine, anti-welfare MAHA thinking. Dr. Dawn expresses serious concern about Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician who dropped out of residency to become a wellness influencer. She objects to Means hawking supplements and glucose monitors for personal profit—conduct she considers unethical for a physician giving medical advice. An emailer from Switzerland shares success managing histamine intolerance by avoiding aged meats, shellfish, fermented foods, and cross-reactive pollens during hay fever season. The game-changer was taking DAO (diamine oxidase) supplements before meals to break down histamine in the gut. Researchers found that blood from pediatricians who worked in children's hospitals for over a decade contains powerful antibodies against RSV—up to 25% more effective than existing treatments—built up through years of constant exposure. Dr. Dawn critiques a study finding 2.5 times more microplastics in prostate tumor tissue than surrounding healthy tissue, noting that fast-growing cancers develop extra blood vessels and would naturally incorporate more circulating plastics. She attributes the 6% rise in late-stage prostate cancer to discontinued PSA screening rather than microplastics. An emailer asks what to do about microplastics already in our bodies. Dr. Dawn says there's no way to remove them, and advises avoiding microwaving in plastic, limiting breaded processed foods, and rinsing well after brushing teeth with plastic bristles. AI analysis of mammograms can now detect breast artery calcification as a marker for cardiovascular disease risk, with severe calcification indicating 3.3 times greater risk of heart attack, stroke, or death. This could identify high-risk women years before cardiac events. Dr. Dawn questions a non-peer-reviewed study presented at an orthopedic meeting found five years of GLP-1 drug use associated with 30% higher osteoporosis risk, 150% higher osteomalacia risk, and increased tendon ruptures—likely from reduced food intake and vitamin D consumption. Twin studies now estimate genetics account for 55% of lifespan variation when separating internal biological causes from external factors. Separately, fathers who showed warmth and responsiveness to 10-month-old babies had children with lower inflammation and better blood sugar regulation at age 7—an effect not seen with mothers' parenting. Grandparents actively involved in childcare showed slower cognitive decline than non-caregiving grandparents. Dancing emerged as the standout physical activity for dementia prevention—combining aerobic exercise, social interaction, music, and motor coordination—with three hours weekly showing observable benefits.

Send a textBiology of obesity resistance and factors influencing weight gain in humans and animals.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Historical views on obesity: In some cultures, like northern Africa or Stone Age societies, high body fat signaled status or attractiveness due to food scarcity, unlike today's focus on leanness amid calorie abundance.Energy balance components: Metabolizable energy (95% absorption on average, but varying 1-11%) and unabsorbed nutrients excreted as waste significantly influence weight.Obesity resistance in animals: Inbred mouse strains show wide variation in weight gain on high-fat diets, often somewhat uncoupled from overeating, suggesting roles for feed efficiency, energy expenditure, or waste rather than intake alone.Genetic & twin studies: Monozygotic twins overfed 1,000 extra calories daily vary widely in weight gain (4-13 kg), indicating genetic influences, while mouse litter size affects lifelong obesity propensity via early-life programming.Bloodborne factors & hormones: Parabiosis studies led to leptin's discovery for defending against weight loss, but evolutionary logic suggests systems also prevent excess gain, though modern environments may weaken this.Human thinness research: Constitutionally thin people snack more, move less, yet have better cardiometabolic health, but we don't yet understand why.GLP-1 drugs & future directions: These slow gut transit and suppress appetite, but obesity's root causes remain unclear; emerging thinness studies could inform prevention beyond drugs.ABOUT THE GUEST: Jens Lund, PhD is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 132 | Obesity Epidemic, Diet, Metabolism, Saturated Fat vs. PUFAs, Energy Expenditure, Weight Gain & Feeding Behavior | John SpeakmanSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

A new meta-analysis just dropped, and once again, saturated fat takes center stage. But does the data actually support the decades-long warnings we've heard about saturated fat and heart disease? Not exactly.In this video, Dr. Bret Scher dives deep into a recent study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that reviewed randomized controlled trials on saturated fat intake and health outcomes.Despite the headlines and abstract language hinting at risk, a closer look at the data reveals no statistically significant increase in heart attacks, strokes, or early death, even with modest increases in LDL.So why the disconnect between what the data shows and what the authors claim? Dr. Scher breaks it down and explores the nuances often missing from the conversation about saturated fat, including context like food quality, carbohydrate intake, metabolic health, and lifestyle factors that make a big difference.

Nutrition Nugget! Bite-sized bonus episodes offer tips, tricks and approachable science. This week, Jenn is talking about Dunkin's Protein Drinks. Dunkin' has officially jumped on the protein bandwagon and is rolling out a new line of protein drinks that have everyone asking: Are these actually a good source of protein? Jenn went straight to the source, visiting multiple Dunkin' locations, digging into the nutrition facts PDF, and asking the questions most of us never think to ask. What she found might surprise you. On the one hand, Dunkin' uses a real, recognizable dairy-based milk with a clean ingredient list and no added sweeteners or emulsifiers. On the other hand, the protein count may not be quite what the marketing suggests. Jenn also addresses the ingredients that go into your cup beyond that protein milk so that you can decide for yourself if this is a smart, satisfying option or just another trend wrapped in clever branding.

In this episode, we sit down again with veterinary epidemiologist and Fatty15 co-founder Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson to explore the emerging science behind C15:0, an odd-chain saturated fatty acid increasingly recognized as potentially essential for human health. The conversation begins by addressing skepticism and online claims that C15:0 research is a "scam," before diving into the human and epidemiological evidence showing that higher circulating levels of C15:0 are associated with lower cardiometabolic disease risk. Dr. Venn-Watson explains why not all saturated fats behave the same biologically, contrasting C15:0 with C16 and highlighting C15:0's unique properties including anti-inflammatory effects, mitochondrial support, and protection against cellular stress. Together they explore how modern dietary patterns may have reduced natural intake of this nutrient, what the latest clinical and mechanistic research suggests about aging and metabolic health, and why continuing to challenge long-standing nutrition dogma requires following the data wherever it leads. ----- 00:00 – The "C15 Essential Fatty Acid Scam" Debate 02:08 – Why Critics Say There Isn't Enough Human Evidence 06:35 – Dolphin Research That Led to the Discovery of C15 11:15 – Epidemiology: Higher C15 and Lower Cardiometabolic Risk 16:05 – Saturated Fat: Why the Narrative May Be Oversimplified 21:30 – C15 vs C16: Not All Saturated Fats Are the Same 27:05 – What Makes a Fat Truly "Essential" 32:10 – The "Goldilocks Fat": Why C15 Stands Out 38:20 – Anti-Inflammatory vs Pro-Inflammatory Fats 44:40 – Mitochondria, Cellular Stability, and Longevity 51:15 – Ferroptosis and Protecting Cells From Oxidative Damage 57:50 – Are We Aging Faster Without Enough C15? 1:05:10 – Why Modern Diets May Be Lower in C15 1:12:30 – How Scientists Follow the Data, Even Against Dogma 1:21:50 – What "Ever Forward" Means in Science and Life ----- Episode resources: Stephanie's first appearance on the show in episode 832 Save 15% with code EVERFORWARD at https://www.Fatty15.com/everforward

Have you seen the new 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and wondered if you should follow them? You may have seen talk about them on the news and social media, and don't know quite what to believe. The slogan of eating more ‘real foods' sounds good though, and the New Pyramid diagram seems to show that all foods - including butter, steak, whole milk and cheese – would be fine to eat and that we don't really need to worry about the amounts eaten. But DO we need to worry? And what about the recommendations about protein and nutritional adequacy issues in vegan and vegetarian diets?   Let's talk about this. In this episode, we'll take a deeper dive into the New Dietary Guidelines for Americans and look at 3 more KEY things you need to know about them, to inform your own health. We'll touch on protein, what the Guidelines say about vegan and vegetarian diets, and what has been found through research.

The American Heart Association still recommends limiting saturated fat intake. Grocery market shelves are loaded with promises of "heart healthy" seed oils. It's time to do some myth busting. Bryan Mussard is a lifelong rancher who is passionate about reviving regenerative ranching and making America healthy again… by embracing saturated fat.   As a young man, Bryan went through a personal health crisis that led him to investigate the benefits of fat. As a rancher and advocate for the Make America Healthy Again initiatives, he is uniquely positioned to offer insights on how politics, Big Food, and Big Ag can be made to see the light about the benefits of saturated fat and meat.   Visit Bryan's website: remangus.com Get on the Weston A.

Most men over 40 focus on lifting weights and dialing in their diet—but still overlook a major driver of long-term cardiovascular health.  In this episode, Ted speaks with Greg Mushen about why subsistence populations rarely develop heart disease, how walking influences glucose and lipid clearance, what genetics reveal about individual risk, and why daily movement may matter more than extreme workouts.  If the goal is to protect arteries, improve metabolic health, and age with resilience, this conversation offers a practical, research-driven framework worth listening to.  Today's Guest  Greg Mushen  Greg Mushen spent his career in tech but has maintained a lifelong interest in health, growing up in a medical family. He became deeply focused on longevity after becoming a father at 40, studying subsistence populations and examining how their lifestyle patterns map onto modern mechanisms of disease prevention.   Connect to Greg Mushen  X:  @gregmushen  Substack: Dark Lab  You'll learn:  Why walking throughout the day may improve glucose and lipid clearance more effectively than a single workout  What subsistence populations like the Tsimane and Maasai reveal about heart disease and arterial health  How genetic differences influence lipid clearance and cardiovascular risk   The concept of "flux" and why matching intake with output is critical for metabolic health  And much more....   What Ted and Greg discuss:  (00:00) Introduction  (03:55) Meet Greg Mushen: From Zone 2 to 15K Steps (Why Walking?)  (07:28) Walking for Nutrient Partitioning, Glucose Control & Mitochondria  (15:25) The Amish "Natural Experiment" + Clearance Genes   (18:48) Genetics Meets Lifestyle: APOE4, Saturated Fat, and Personal Risk  (24:58) Diet vs Movement in Context: Maasai vs Tsimane and the 'Flux' Framework  (35:35) Athletes, High CAC Scores & Why Risk Can Still Be Low  (36:58) From Tech to Primary Research: How Greg Learned to Read Studies  (46:49) Calories, Appetite & Why Tracking Still Works (Even If You Hate It)  (57:23) Genetics, Methylation & Targeted Supplements (B12, Folate, Creatine, TMG)  (01:05:18) Final Thought 

Saturated fat is back in the headlines, and so is the confusion.The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans just dropped, and while there's clear progress (more support for animal-based protein, low-carb options, and reduced sugar), they've kept the 10% cap on saturated fat. But does the science still support that limit, and does it make sense with the rest of the recommendations?In this episode, Dr. Bret Scher breaks down the real story on saturated fat: where the guidelines get it right, where they fall short, and why context is everything when it comes to fat, food, and metabolic health.He covers:✅ The 5 main types of evidence on saturated fat✅ Why source and dietary context matter more than grams✅ What randomized trials, ketogenic studies & LDL data really show✅ The problem with lumping steak and pizza into one category✅ Why blanket limits may harm people trying to improve their metabolic healthThe saturated fat debate isn't just about grams, it's about individual metabolic health. When we zoom out and look at the full picture, it becomes clear that not all saturated fat is created equal. Understanding where it comes from and how it fits into an overall dietary pattern is key to moving the conversation forward.

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers explains the latest research on saturated fat and its role in heart disease. He breaks down why many studies don't link saturated fat to higher heart disease risk and what factors actually matter when assessing fat consumption.   You'll discover why oxidative stability, not the smoke point, is the real key when choosing fats for cooking. Dr. Jockers shares which fats are most stable and why they're better for your health in the long term.   We also dive into the role saturated fat plays for those with specific genetic markers, like APOE4 carriers. Dr. Jockers discusses how certain individuals might need to limit their intake of saturated fats to improve their health outcomes.

In this foundational January episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling put insulin at the forefront of 2026 by unpacking five surprising metabolic insights from Dr. Ben Bikman, the world's leading insulin researcher, revealing why standard blood work misses early insulin resistance for years before glucose finally rises. They expose the hidden metabolic crisis where normal labs mask the slow march of insulin resistance that begins in overfilled fat cells—which become insulin resistant first as a protective mechanism to prevent rupture—then cascades to the liver, muscle, endothelium, and brain, explaining why seemingly unrelated conditions like PCOS, erectile dysfunction, brain fog, and cardiovascular disease all stem from the same insulin dysfunction. The hosts debunk the saturated fat myth by revealing that most saturated fat in your bloodstream comes from your liver converting excess carbohydrates through de novo lipogenesis, not from butter or steak, making late-night carbs particularly devastating since insulin sensitivity drops 30% at night, sabotaging sleep and activating fight-or-flight responses. This episode delivers the science-backed framework for why fasting isn't about restriction but about asking less of your insulin so cells can finally hear the signal to burn fat, providing actionable strategies including earlier meal timing, resistance training for glucose utilization, and specific lab markers like fasting insulin and HOMA-IR that flag metabolic dysfunction long before standard tests catch it. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.
