Lidice F. was like many people—she tried exercising and living a healthy lifestyle, but didn’t get the results she wanted. She worked out a few times a week. She tried eating a diverse (but not that strict) diet. A recent move, without family or friends, led to depression and overeating and this general “off feeling” that definitely wasn’t herself.
Then, she found out about intermittent fasting and keto by accident.
Her trainer name- dropped Jason Fung (a guest on the H.V.M.N. Podcast), an intermittent fasting pioneer. That cracked the door open for Lidice to bust through. She started listening to podcasts and reading about intermittent fasting, which eventually led her to learn more about keto, since the two are usually linked. After applying both keto and intermittent fasting to her overall nutrition plan (what she calls a lifestyle change), Lidice learned the assumptions many people have about dieting are wrong.
This was the first time Lidice was able to lose weight and keep the weight off. It took a year to reach her goal, but her nutrition journey became about something more. Instead of just weight loss, she began thinking about aging healthier, living longer, and how she could use keto and intermittent fasting to get there.
One of the resources Lidice constantly turned to was the H.V.M.N. Library. That learning led her to try H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester, which was another turning point in her journey.
“H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester is an investment in myself.”
During workouts, Lidice uses H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester on her most difficult days. She found she was able to increase her power output and reduce her recovery time. “Before taking H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester, I was sluggish and tired during my workouts.” On days she uses H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester, that feeling of a workout colors the rest of her day: she feels more energized.
Of course, it’s difficult to stay in ketosis all the time. “I like to have my glass of red wine on the weekend,” Lidice admits. And because she travels for work, wining-and-dining clients, it’s hard to maintain the lifestyle she’s etched out. Inevitably, there are times when she gets out of ketosis.
That’s where H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester has been most useful—Lidice uses it to get back into ketosis, in that intermediate stage between carb depletion and natural ketone production.
“Getting back into ketosis with H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester makes a big difference. It helps get me back on track and powers me through my day.”
Of course, Lidice’s journey is lifelong. And it’s one she was scared to take at first. It wasn’t just weight loss...it became a journey to live a happier life.
“If it wasn’t for me discovering H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester, I wouldn’t be where I’m at right now—a healthier version of myself.”
So, what’s next on that journey for Lidice? She convinced her boyfriend to also join in the lifestyle change, which is especially important given his family history of heart disease. They want to travel. They want to hike mountains. They want to live with vitality.
They want you to do it too.
