First For Women

“I got off 7 medication­s!”

-

Kristi Ross took a single step and felt a searing pain in her knee that made her collapse to the ground. A nurse practition­er, she knew she’d torn her meniscus. Filled with fear, she thought about her family members who suffered mobility issues and

she knew: The best thing I can do is get my weight under control!

After knee surgery, Kristi started a keto diet on the advice of a doctor friend and shed 10 pounds the first week. “It felt like somebody turned a light switch inside my brain and I had energy for the first time in my life,” she says. To speed results, she started supplement­ing with exogenous ketones, mixing Pruvit brand flavored salts into water each morning. “Keto was working, but it got that much better.” In one week she dropped two pant sizes and two belly inches. “After six weeks I thought, I’m not going to eat any other way for the rest of my life!”

Jump ahead to the six-monthmark and Kristi was able to get off all seven of her medication­s. She also reversed her health complaints including PCOS, leaky gut syndrome, fatty liver, prediabete­s, insulin resistance, insomnia, reflux, anxiety and depression.

Kristi lost 100 pounds in 9 months.

(Her husband lost 50.)

She also lowered her body fat from 50% to

22%, which has been a blessing for her oncesore joints. “When it comes to taking extra ketones, I think there’s magic to it!”
