Low carb and keto on a budget

vergel whats been your experience with being on a keto,low carb diet and Test. I read in your book it helps stabilize blood glucose levels. do you think if you are already on a glucose limiting diet like keto could your glucose go too low?
 
I would answer no for both of your questions. You could have your APOe for gene type, of how your body processes fats.
 
Thanks for your input. I have been getting lethargy and head-achy mid afternoon. I read some guys on here as well complain of the same. I am on a low carb under 30 a day, trying to figure it out. increased heart rate after dinner. also on nature thyroid 30 mg daily. cut dose in 1/2 helped with heart rate in mornings.

Make sure ur getting enough calories in. Sometimes people go low carb, and eat too much protein and not enough healthy fats and aren’t getting enough calories in, even though they think they are. Also, make sure ur getting enough electrolytes, especially sea salt. Get a quality salt, like Celtic salt, kona salt, or Redmond’s real salt, and salt everything u eat really good.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
