 So the pain that I dealt with every day was if you put it on a scale 1 to 10 was in arranging me from a 7 to a 10 daily. I had three doctors over my bed and one of the hardest moments of my entire life at the age of 22 years old was they asked me if I ever wanted to play with my kids. I didn't have any kids yet and it was becoming more and more clear that if I didn't change or something changed inside me I wouldn't be able to walk by the age of 30. As an athlete my entire life I played hard, I worked out hard, I ran my body, I challenged my body at a very high level. I joined the Marine Corps at 18 where I took my body and pushed it as far as I could challenging my joints, challenging my health but I left the Marine Corps to follow my dream of college football. I couldn't have been happier making that football team and be able to play football at a high level. I was having some struggle struggles with my knees. I was having some struggles with treatment. I was spending a handful hours before practice in the morning after practice getting my knees treated to so I could keep playing and the team doctor came in had a conversation with me told me we need to go and do surgery. I actually watched my surgery and on the table he looked at me and said oh my god you know your knees look like they're 80 years old. I would wake up each day with the inability to actually get a bed straight in my legs and get to the bathroom. It did take me almost a half an hour to just warm up my legs my knees enough to to get to the bathroom. My mind was fuzzy. It was inability for me to articulate, to recall things in an effective manner but it got to the point that I actually lost half of my the use of half of my face. I couldn't hear out of my left ear. I was beginning to kind of forget just the people I cared about. I was struggling and remembering even their names and they diagnosed me with Hashimoto's which is an autoimmune disorder. I was sweating six seven pounds every night wasn't able to walk my dog gaining weight couldn't stay awake through the day. I just couldn't function as a person that I knew I was and so my quest started where I actually hired multiple doctors from naturopathic holistic doctors to chiropractors. It just got more clouded more confusing. It was like everybody was doing all these things to me and no at no point was I in control or in charge of my own life to take it back to get it back and that's when I started and in sort of biohacking and basically going okay what do I need to do to take charge of my own body and I went back to the basics. The extreme basics at that time and that was doing a 14 day fast not eating a water fast just drinking water all day long not eating for 14 days and I woke up it's like my body woke up my mind woke up and I realized that that was the beginning of me getting my life back and my quest had started on those 14 days and it came down to one thing. Getting into a state of ketosis was the key. Getting into a state of ketosis is extremely hard and probably the hardest diet you could possibly do. I met a guy that introduced me to prove it so that I can put ketones in my body within 60 minutes of drinking this product which has absolutely changed my life. KetoS it's unbelievable science technology. The fact that I can drink ketones my very first time drinking it it literally just I woke up. I mean I've been in a state of ketosis prior to drinking it and it just the elevation of ketones was so amazing that the clarity the energy right away I knew within 15- 20 minutes I'm like this is gonna be something really special because if we can get these ketone levels up I I can have flexibility in my diet and truly enjoy the ketones in my system 24-7 by just drinking a product without having to do the diet day in day out every day perfectly. And for me this has been revolutionary. This has been the thing I've been looking for my entire career being a health and fitness expert. This is something that I can take that prevents me from fearing the future of my body aging and deteriorating and but more importantly for me to be able to enjoy the time with my wife my kids and play baseball and get off the floor with them and wrestle around with them and this is a tool that I can't imagine now living without. I'm Dustin Schaefer and I prove it every single day.
