Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm into hydroxybutyrate tbh
Is there an easy, at home way to measure that? 🤔
if your in deep ketosis your going to be running on that. its the primary ketone body.
Yes so I measure ketones and BHB is included but didnt know if you measure that alone?
not that i know of. but in a fasted state the brain is running primarily, like <90% , on bhb. so if you fast and are not active it will be pure good shit. if you excersize while fasted you will be increasing the other ketone bodies.
Ohhh, i did not know that difference! 🙏 and what do you consider deep ketosis? Like how many mmol/L? The keto mojo also uses GKI, which is a glucose ketone index and I find that helpful.
the deeper the better but if your in ketosis you will be using bhb in order for the brain to function
BHB makes you think clearer?
yes 100%
what is the smoothest way to transition to ketogenic? fasting? do you have a go-to thing you can share about how to get there reliably?
I would recommend transitioning over a period of at least 6 weeks.
Ketones are strong anti inflammatories. So any presence of brain inflammation/fog seems to clear up immediately for me.
i have started earthing recently and i believe that being deficient in electrons increases susceptibility to oxidative radicals and it's definitely shifting the momentum for me
Yessss! I have been checking out earthing.com and eyeing one of those sheet sets bc i find it so beneficial
basically, it balances your electrostatic charge to neutral and prevents absorption of radio frequency into your body (it just conducts over your skin to the earth) this diminishes the damage from oxidative and reductive free radicals as they are more likely to encounter their counterpart in the water of your body and be neutralised it does definitely have an effect on reducing inflammation, and it dialed back a problem i have that was getting worse just before i got my mat and bed sheet, quite bad double vision from type 2 diabetes, it almost immediately fully reverted at first, now it is stabilised and i am not having as much trouble reading or looking at details up close
also, in theory it should reduce the health damage from ionising radiation too, like X, gamma, cosmic rays, because most of what they do is adding electrons to free radicals that then penetrate to mess up DNA or proteins and with the earth connection it probably goes the other way as well, so if you get excess electrons they are dissipated
Yeah, when those solar flares happened a few weeks back, I was tired af for a few days. Related?
most likely, yes it was pretty taxing, and it's only going to get worse, we are in a record solar maximum still that keeps going up, apparently (it's the earth's shield going down, in fact)
🫠 ordering an earthing mat for sleep quickfast
I have been sleeping on one for a year now. Recommend 👍
Did you get it from somewhere else or from earthing.com?
Yeah, I had gotten this when it was on sale like it is now. I mostly just use the sleep mat now though. I forget I even still have the patches. https://www.earthing.com/collections/all/products/essentials-kit
Sleep mat seems easiest. You convinced me to order. Elite influencer now ✅
Ah yeah 😎
