Steve E. doesn’t need anymore motivation when it comes to his health.
He’s had a number of joints replaced, including knees and hips. He’s had asthma his entire life. He has a family history of cancer. Steve always knew he needed to take care of his health, and as he got older, that meant aging comfortably.
“As a trainer, my focus at work is getting people comfortable in their bodies. Anti-aging is a huge goal. I want to be comfortable, too,” he said.
That motivation for a healthy lifestyle started young. Steve’s mother had cancer multiple times; when he was a child, each time his mother went to the hospital, he heard that she might not return home. In his late teens, he began experimenting with a raw food diet, then an elimination diet. He tracks his biomarkers. He experiments with eating and sleeping schedules. Eventually, he found that intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet worked best for him. You can say he’s an early adopter, a researcher, an obsessive—and early biohacker.
So when he heard about H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester, he dove deep into the research. He heard about ketone salts before, tried those, and “wasn’t very impressed.” But using H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester? “I feel like I’m humming like a V8 engine,” he said.
That engine powers Steve to cover a lot of ground. Generally, Steve fasts between 5pm - 11am daily, an augmented 18/6 fast. He’s training clients all day, and sometimes, it’s hard to keep the intermittent fasting schedule when hunger pangs hit during sessions.
“I’m sipping H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester throughout the day during my fasts. It keeps me from getting hungry.”
H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester is also the perfect compliment to his ketogenic dieting. Steve loves the anti-inflammatory state of ketosis for longevity—truly, his ultimate goal of aging comfortably and maintaining as much physical and mental ability as possible. That’s part of the reason he’s using H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester: “There’s no fillers or additives. I’m getting straight ketones, the kind that are already made by my body.”
He loves the acute feeling of H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester for the cognitive and physical boost, but for Steve, the most important part about using the product is for the potential benefits regarding longevity. He uses it to reduce inflammation, keep blood sugar levels low, and reduce insulin response—all things geared toward living a stronger, healthier, longer life.
“Drinking H.V.M.N. Ketone Ester is a simple way to have a huge impact on your health across multiple body systems.”
But what keeps him coming back? “There isn’t any better form of ketone on the market, and probably the world,” he says.
While Steve is motivated to keep himself functioning at a high level, he’s equally motivated to keep his clients functioning at a high level. He lives what he preaches. He wants to help people live a healthier lifestyle, whether that’s setting up their pantry for effective dieting, getting better sleep, or physical training.
His specific approach might not work for everyone, but he empowers people to take action in some form. That’s the first step in living a healthy lifestyle, one anybody can take.
