Ketonix

The podcasts will discuss different topics about ketosis, methods and how analyzing ketones could be really helpful. It also discuss the important difference between the different ketones and much more. Episode - 0 Ketonix Introduction Episode - 1 The measure switch ... Episode - 2 Breath vs Blood Ketones Episode - 3 Correlation between Breath and Blood Ketones

How the body's energy systems interact with different types of exercise and states of adaptation, particularly in the context of ketosis and glycogen usage.  Cortisol and Glycogen Release During Stress: When the body is under stress (e.g., during intense exercise or a fight-or-flight situation), cortisol levels rise, and glycogen is rapidly converted into glucose to provide quick energy for muscles. This mechanism is essential for survival, allowing quick bursts of energy when needed. Anaerobic Exercise and Glucose: Anaerobic exercise, such as sprinting or lifting weights, relies heavily on glucose as a primary fuel because it requires quick, explosive energy. This...

A simple experiment to see the sensitivity of the device and that breath ketones are heavier than air. If you do this experiment, it is on your own risk. If you drop the device in liquid, or get liquid into the device, the warranty is voided.1. What you need: Plastic bottle (~1.5 liters), your Ketonix device, Acetone and something that could make a drop of acetone. 2. Fill the bottle to about half with water ( close to 37 degree celsius), and put one drop of acetone into the bottle. 3. Put the lid on and shake the bottle for a minute....

Once your cells are adapted, they use fat more direct from intramuscular fat. Then liver does not need to "cover" for the energy that is not coming from carbs by producing ketones. Then it's mostly the brain that is the main consumer and to some extent the heart. If the brain cells metabolized fat you could imagine what would happen!!So, when your cells get adapted, ketosis is on a lower level than when just switching from a carb to a low-carb diet.It is actually when cells are adapted the Ketonix is as most valuable to find out what type of lifestyle...

The transformation of blood ketones (beta-hydroxybutyrate) to acetoacetate (and vice-versa) is not done in your liver. So the cell that need energy will process it there and then, no acetone is produced at this time. Acetone is only produced when fatty acids are metabolized into acetoacetate (or when acetoacetate breaks down, its an unstable molecule).(image is just an ai image to illustrate fat metabolized into acetoacetate and acetone) If using exogenous ketones (beta-hydroxybutyrate), the concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate will increase in blood, as this is a feedback signal to the liver to decrease production of ketone energy, breath ketones will decrease.Ketones is...
