Alessandro Ferretti joins us to discuss blood glucose, ketones, ketogenic diets, and of course how it all relates to health, performance and Heart Rate Variability. We also cover some useful topics such as how to use HRV for food sensitivity testing, how to establish a personal glucose baseline and when best to measure blood glucose, and ideal ketone thresholds for exercise and training. -- topics listed below HRV Educational Resources: https://hrvcourse.com/ep-7 Leave a quick review: https://elitehrv.com/review-ep-7 (Thanks in advance!)
