21-Day Metabolic Kick

I hemmed and hawed about paying $1000 for this course. I have been a follower of keto, fasting and Dr Boz for nearly 10 years. I have read both her books. What I found most valuable with this course is the coach’s classroom. It was so energizing to meet my classmates everyday for 21 days, to hear their struggles and their success stories, to know I need not go it alone. This class has helped me sharpen my focus, discover my why and find my determination to succeed and re-gaining my health. Was it worth $1000? It took me less than a week to say, “Absolutely!”

YOU ARE IN THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE !!! WHY GO IT ALONE ??? 21 DMK will fortify your keto knowledge, but more importantly…. it gives you a LIVE community to fortify your resolve in gaining better health. These are your people. They know your struggles. They have answers to your problems and grace when you fall short. The case studies, the small groups, the authenticity of Dr Boz….this is the path to your success. Sign up today!

I took this course after gaining some prior knowledge on Keto by watching Dr. Boz YouTube videos and reading her Keto Continuum book. I attempted keto on my own last fall for about 3 months and felt like I was a fish out of water trying to swim! I needed some better guidance, commitment and support to try this again after taking a 3 month backtrack to my old diet of carbs and sugar. I am a menopausal woman and was a bit desperate for symptom relief, if possible.

I missed my Jan. 1 goal of starting keto but took some of that time to catch up on Dr. Boz videos, as well as other keto motivational videos, in preparation of starting again in February (on my own). In the last Dr. Boz video she mentioned her upcoming 21DMK. I thought, Ok, I'm really serious about being successful at this, so at the last hour, I signed up and started the course the next day! I'd heard about the last one that was held in September and thought it would be great to work directly with Dr. Boz to gain the ultimate motivation.

The 21DMK experience was well-thought out and organized. Dr. Boz and her coaches are committed to you 100% for this 21 days (the weekdays). There were multiple forums for learning...Dr. Boz prerecorded tutorials; Dr. Boz live sessions featuring a case study of a fellow student; wisdom from our small group coaches; and the individuals in our small groups all have something to add. It's a very caring community, and the small groups have an intimate connection that can last a lifetime. You receive love and support and you give love and support.

BONUS/WIN for me: after just a couple days of cutting out carbs and sugar, my horrible hot flashed completely ceased!! Now I also understand the healing power of fasting and am comfortable experimenting with the different levels to fasting on the Keto Continuum chart according to what my body needs to do (lose weight quickly, flush out glucose, heal, etc.).

I was frustrated by the platform, couldn’t access Dr. Boz’s videos for almost a week, watched everything I could to catch up but never felt I was able to get all of the information I needed. I’m on the west coast and am still watching the huddle vids hoping to finish before they go away. This is such a valuable program and it’s a shame it’s difficult to follow. That said, Dr. Boz’s team, Michelle, Jillian, and Allyson all reached out to me and helped me navigate the platform and the program. They were wonderful! The addition of tracking my glucose and ketones is a tremendous help. Allyson’s coaching kept me going when my will flagged. And I’m happy to say my DBR fell from 625 to 25. Wow!

I came to this course to see what else I could learn - I have both a holistic nutrition certification and a keto coach certification. I am a continual learner and have admired Dr. Boz’s work that I follow on Youtube.

I have been stuck for a while and I knew my issue was the keto baking I was doing at home. Baking is my hobby, I love to cook and always want to try new things. I said when I started the course I would not bake. I was struggling with mind chatter over baking/treats and thought the course may give me a different perspective on this. It was my one struggle that I couldn’t seem to move past and the thought of no baking actually terrified me!

When I started the course, I knew we had to fast, I reached out to Dr. Boz through the Skool platform to ask about continuing to take my THC/CBD infused coconut oil in the evening (it helped me sleep). She sent me a video about brain health and what cannabis does to the brain. I immediately stopped taking it and haven’t taken it again. I think for me, this was one of the biggest changes in my mind chatter - it’s gone. I always thought that you got the munchies while you were taking cannabis, not the next day. I was shocked!!!

Okay, so that aside, the sardine challenge was going to be my biggest hurdle because of the smell/taste but I did it! I ate just one can to start, 2 on the Monday, 1 on Tuesday and then one to finish. I’d do more next time because I felt very hungry but was being stubborn! I love the results from doing that and I think I would not have done that on my own. But being part of the group and having others watch, made me conform.

I found the 72 water only fast fairly easy to follow. The last few hours I was clock watching!

I believe the accountability in the daily group meetings is crucial for staying on track - especially if you’re worried about what others think. My mindset was always if no one sees me eat it, it doesn’t count. But your numbers don’t lie. I had gotten lazy in the last couple of years and stopped testing. If I don’t test, I don’t see crappy numbers. I learned some new skills during this course that will help me move along on my journey!

So now what would I tell a friend about the course? TAKE IT! If you are struggling to stay consistent on keto, can’t get your glucose under 100 or are 2 weeks on and the weekend off, then back on, TAKE THE COURSE! The power of accountability and understanding what your numbers mean and how to manipulate them with food and fasting is a game changer! Knowing that eating keto for a few weeks then having a cheat day, just sets you back to the beginning and so many do not realize this! Stop struggling, just be consistently keto! The cravings do go away early in the program if you do the work and just trust Dr. Boz!

I loved this course! I have watched all the videos on YouTube and I feel I had a good understanding of keto the Dr Boz way BUT this course is next level. I learned to critically think about what was happening to me (and others) and why. So much more to learn! The small group support was invaluable, it was like a warm keto cuddle everyday and so motivational. I look forward to continuing my education in this space one ketone at a time.

I was afraid I wouldn’t learn that for which I was searching. But I did. I understand the benefits of sardine fasting but more importantly for me, why it works and what the goal is. I understand much more about autophagy, what it is and how to better reach it and stay in it.

I had tried to follow things but well, I am that person who needs and wants to understand the why. So this course worked well for me.

I finally broke through in this 21day. I am now able visualize what ketosis looks like for me and to conceptualize the reasons why I can't stay in ketosis. The support group and the meeting twice per day helped me more than I could have ever known.

Dr Boz has assembled a powerful curriculum and support system within the 21DMK. I think it best serves those who have at least some time already on the ketogenic diet and have a level of experience beyond the very beginning. This is an advanced curriculum and beginners may benefit from some of her other learning programs at first. For me, I've been learning about the ketogenic diet for several years, and continued to learn and be encouraged by Dr Boz's lectures, daily teaching, and format of support within small groups with a dedicated coach. The live case studies are tremendously effective in helping students learn about facing the typical chronic diseases that afflict those who need help with their metabolic health. Dr Boz is an extremely talented teacher and like the best of teachers, supports her students fully with her heart.

This course has been the best investment in my personal health. Thank you to Dr. Boz and her incredible team! The content of Dr. Boz’s ketoCONTINUUM is brilliantly woven together with real-time coaching support within a community. I thoroughly enjoy how her course videos visually bring the concepts of baseline metabolisms and the science of fasting to life in a meaningful and memorable way. Measuring and sharing my data under Dr. Boz and her coaching team’s supervision bolstered my confidence to keep practicing and progressing through the challenge, which was so powerful. My coach, Debbie, and my classmates are the best! This is what elevates and places the 21 Day Metabolic Kick in a league of its own. I adhered better to the coursework and the fasts because I knew I would be sharing my data in a support group. The sardine challenge primed my body’s ability to produce ketones and set me up to be successful throughout the 72 hour water fast. The accountability, compassion and support of my classmates and coach helped me to stay honest and stay the course. I would not have done it without them! Dr. Boz’s teaching style kept me engaged throughout the lessons on baseline metabolisms and fasting. She has a gift for reinforcing these principles and their healing benefits through the case studies of real people. A big thank you to the participants who were willing to share their story through case study! You helped me learn so much and it was a pleasure to grow alongside you.
