Breaking my fast. Feeling great. Sadly .. I still have about 10 hours of work to do today ... same old story ..#drbozratio 18

While fasting, I don’t need a lunch break ... but a sauna break really turns up the speed of metabolism. In hopes to activate my #heatshockproteins I use a Finish-style sauna at 180F x at least 19 min. Today I made it 20 min without exiting ... and had a body temp of 108.0 at the end. Crazy high temp. If you scroll to my last post, your’ll see my glucose / ketones before the sauna = 63 / 2.4 for a #drbozratio of 25. During the heat-stress, my body made glucose through #gluconeogenesis & burned through some excess ketones. My heart is still pounding ... and I am ready to tackle the restore do my afternoon. #mentalclarity #amwriting

#drbozratio of 26 ... in 26 hours of fasting ... I am prepping for a lecture on brain injuries. I need a break... headed for the sauna. I hope this lecture looks better after a good sweat. I will share my after-sauna numbers ... stay tuned

Wow. #drbozratio of 18 .. that’s really good for me at the 35 hour mark. I don’t know why the numbers are so strong recently. I re-calibrated my ketone meter just to make sure it was reading correctly. I have been loyal with the SAUNA use... maybe that’s it. I will take the win.

Feeling good. #drbozratio 39 .. #amwriting (actually it’s editing .. but feels the same to me. )

Monday morning numbers are okay for 24 hours. I should have checked when I first woke up. Somehow my ketones during my LIVE YOUTube show last PM were crazy high... I don’t know how that happened. I think it must have been related to ketones on my skin from touching the BHB powder. Headed for a full day of meetings AFTER 2 hours for writing. I am almost done with this final edit of the book. Whew .. it’s a long game is focus. Thank God for keto-chemistry.

At the END of my “20” minutes hubby told me the timer didn’t start right on time. He thinks it was 2 minutes before he pushed start. No break!! But I am not interested in going past 20 minutes when it’s 180F. E.V.E.R. I guess that’s what I get for fermenting chicken liver. Yesterday someone asked about brain damage with such high body temperatures. These temperatures are not generated from the inside of my body. They are a result of being in the heated environment of the sauna. There are many reasons for exposing my body to the stress of heat. Activating heat-stress proteins through sauna (or other stresses of heat, cold, fasting, and exercise) -improve cytokine response to infections. -stimulate autophagy -stimulate mitophogy (autophagy is mitochondria). -improve mental health (like the focus needed to finish writing the book you’re working on!!! ). Back to editing #writing #amwriting

Fermenting Chicken Liver. Watch the video. It’s week 2. I hope I’m brave enough to taste it. First bite is in 14 days.

I made it!!! No break 20 min in the sauna at 180 F ... no exits from the “torcher box” (that’s what hubby calls it) to check my temp. I can’t believe I made it. Now .. back to editing. I will be sipping on some BHB.. I had a rough couple hours & hubby said, “You would tell your patients to take a break. Break a sweat. Drinks some BHB.” He was right. I feel better

You might laugh that I could not make it the final 2 min without stepping out of the sauna and checking my temp .... but it was a MOMENT. A serious MOMEMT... Twenty minutes at 180F is a test of cardiac output and blood vessel pliability. At 18 min .. I needed a break. My goal is to make it all the way to 20 min... I sure wish I could check my temp while inside the sauna ... if you know of a device that works inside a sauna .. please share.

✅ Done. I will be grilling hamburgers & having some sauerkraut for supper. I feel great. But I’m ready for food. We did 2 sauna sessions yesterday and will do one tonight when the boys are at marching band practice. My Goal = 7 times in a week.
