Are exogenous ketones worth it? Do they help with fat burning, insulin resistance, energy, mental clarity, and weight loss — or are they just hype?
In today’s video, I break down:
🔹 What ketones actually are
🔹 How exogenous ketones work
🔹 Why people take them (energy, fat burning, cravings, focus)
🔹 Who should and shouldn’t use them
🔹 MY REAL DATA using both unsweetened and sweetened ketones
I personally tested my fat-burning level (ketogenesis), glucose, and gauged my insulin response after drinking both types. And here’s the spoiler:
➡️ The unflavored/unsweetened ketones put me into a high fat-burning zone FAST.
➡️ The flavored/sweetened ones didn’t raise my glucose… but DID spike my insulin — which instantly shut off fat burning for hours.
This video is for anyone dealing with insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes, weight loss plateaus, high fasting insulin, or anyone curious about ketone supplements.
As always — I’m not guessing, I’m data-driven.
I show you exactly what happened in my body.

✅ SECTION 1 — WHAT I USE AND RECOMMEND
Here are the tools and tests I personally use for tracking insulin, ketones, and digestion. These are the exact ones shown/discussed in the video. Investing in your own data is one of the best things you can do for metabolic health and fat loss, especially if you’re dealing with insulin resistance.

🧠 SECTION 3 — WHY I SHARE THESE
I only recommend tools I personally use for data-driven metabolic health, and nothing is sponsored . Your insulin makes the rules — knowing your numbers is how you take back control of fat loss, mood, energy, and cravings.
