Episode 0005 - Can You Do Keto on a Plant-Based Diet w/Keto-Mojo & Mr. Mojo, Dorian Greenow
08/20/21 • 65 min
Dorian Greenow, Founder, Keto-Mojo
In 2015, Dorian weighed 210 lbs, was constantly tired, on anti-depressants, and had nearly all the markers for metabolic syndrome. He and his wife, Gemma embarked on the ketogenic lifestyle, began monitoring their glucose and ketones, and dialing in their diet. Within six months, he had lost 47 lbs, came off all medications, and finally got his mojo back. The Ketogenic lifestyle changed their lives, and they wanted to give back.
However, back then, ketone testing was expensive – at $4-$5 a strip. Keto meters and test strips were produced by a few big players in the bio-tech industry - therefore inaccessible to many in need. In 2017, after countless doors closed in his face, Dorian successfully launched Keto-Mojo, lowering the cost of ketone testing by 75%, to 99¢/ strip, offering the first affordable, accurate blood glucose and ketone testing meter with a lifetime guarantee. With the recent launch of the new GK+ meter and the HIPAA-compliant MyMojoHealth cloud connector platform, Keto-Mojo has not only successfully improved the technology, but also continued to bring down the cost of testing, while providing an information sharing website, free to all.
Over the past 4 years, Dorian has attended and spoken at numerous conferences globally. Dorian and Gemma have worked extensively with the ketogenic community to learn and understand the many facets of the scientific underpinnings which lead to overall medical benefits. They have founded The Ketogenic Foundation, a 501(c)(3)non-profit, which fosters Ketogenic Education, Medical Research, and Information Sharing for the benefit of improving the health of humankind.

Episode 0006 - Here is Your MS Fitness Challenge w/David Lyons
In 2006, David Lyons was hospitalized and diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 47. David, a former bodybuilder and health club owner, exercised regularly and lived a healthy lifestyle. He was devastated by the diagnosis and frustrated by the physical limitations of his condition. His initial MS attack left him with partial paralysis, tightness, pain and numbness in his extremities and back. These common symptoms of MS come and go without warning. The multiple lesions in David’s spinal cord made it difficult for him to coordinate movements and they affected his balance. The lesions in his brain caused cognitive problems affecting his concentration. And the lesion by his optic nerve, at times, caused vision impairment and blackness when seeing out of his left eye. David also lives in a constant state of fatigue caused by this disease attacking his nervous system. While in the hospital the doctors told David he would most likely leave in a wheelchair and would not return to his normal workout routine. They also warned him that MS is a disease that most often progressively worsens and to prepare for his limitations as he ages. So what does David do? Give up and sink into depression? Grab a walker to steady himself? Retreat to bed to conserve his strength?
NO...AT THE AGE OF 50 DAVID LYONS DECIDED TO COMPETE IN A NPC BODYBUILDING COMPETITION!
