Module 10: Monitoring Progress & Understanding Signals

Welcome to Module 10.

You’ve prepared your kitchen, learned the principles of meal planning, and started your journey.

Now, it’s time to learn how to listen to your body and track your incredible progress.

This module is dedicated to giving you the tools to monitor your journey, understand the signals your body is sending, and use that data to personalize your path to success.

We will dive into the key markers of metabolic health and teach you how to track them.

You will learn the importance of monitoring your blood glucose and, for those on a more aggressive ketogenic plan, how to measure your ketone levels to ensure you are in the fat-burning state of nutritional ketosis.

We will also cover how to track other vital signs, such as your blood pressure and simple body measurements, empowering you to see your progress in real, objective numbers.

A crucial part of this module is dedicated to helping you navigate the initial adaptation phase. We will demystify the “keto flu,” explaining what causes it and providing a simple, effective strategy to manage it with proper hydration and electrolytes.

This section also reinforces the absolute necessity of working with your doctor, as your rapid health improvements will likely require safe adjustments to your medications.

Finally, we will show you how to leverage technology and your clinical relationships to support your journey.

You’ll get an introduction to useful tracking apps and learn which specific lab tests to discuss with your doctor to get a clear picture of your internal health.

By the end of this module, you will be more than just a participant in this program; you will be a knowledgeable and empowered expert on your own body.
