You’ve probably read stories on how some centenarians owe their triple digit lifespan to their drink-a-day habit, but these people are outliers and this advice is really not practical for living longer.

We’ll dive into these specifically and we’ll explore the connection blood glucose has on the big three (heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer) as well as the specific blood markers you can track to see how you’re doing here.

We’ll answer those questions and more in this podcast episode with Scott Nelson, co-founder of Joovv, an at-home red light therapy device. We’ll also dive into the research, how a keto diet affects red light therapy, and why it only takes less than 10 minutes a day to start seeing results. Tune in to the episode now to find out if this is really worth all of the hype.

Hitting a plateau on keto doesn’t mean you’ve failed or that a keto diet isn’t right for you. It just means your body may have already adapted and needs to switch things up to break through its current plateau.

We’ll also show you the telltale signs you’re in a plateau and what to do about it. The reality is keto plateaus are inevitable.
