We love the keto lifestyle and on this show we take it a step further and look at ways to supercharge your keto experience. We call that KetoHacking. For the last month we've been focusing on the topic of Neurofeedback and today Jimmy and John finish their discussion on Neurofeedback and introduce the next hack: Red Light Therapy.

Listen in today as Jimmy and John talk about:

Recap Muse experiment
Jimmy's and John's take away from this month-long experiment
Introduction on photobiomodulation: what it is and why are we going to be introducing it

Red light impact on stress, mitochondria, testosterone, and circadian rhythm & sleep
Protocol they are going to do

"Red light therapy has been shown to indirectly influence cortisol levels. You're stimulating your body to burn more energy and most of us have significant glycogen storage and the body will burn that for extra energy." – Dr. John Limansky

"I would think that meditating for two hours like Jack Dorsey would have diminishing returns. Twenty minutes for me is perfect and I'm ready to go." – Jimmy Moore

Diseases associated with chronic stressors

Integration into measurement of HRV & Muse
Techniques to help mitigate stress in daily life

"When we start talking about chronic stress cortisol becomes chronically secreted. When that happens you have chronically elevated blood sugars as a response from it." – Dr. John Limansky

We have been talking this past month about Jimmy's new experiment, the 28 day Keto Carnivore hack and the amazing initial results Jimmy has shown from this dietary shift. Today we dig into what's been going on INSIDE as Jimmy has taken on this nearly zero-carb, all animal product experiment.
