• Are you looking at a solely nutrition solution? Have you integrated some resistance training and looked at the impact that increasing lean mass and glycolytic activity to help the process? I have consistently had great success adding functional resistance training to deal with this exact issue.

• Hi Andrea, I have a client who sounds like your description, including normal weight (life long normal weight) and family history of diabetes. Have you learned anything more since your April post? My client also has unusually low triglycerides, in the 30s. I'm curious about that, too.

• Hi Jacqui, I'm also looking into a position, and came across one that sounds like exactly what you're describing. It's even in Maryland! I sent in an application and haven't heard back. I can't find the original job posting at the moment, but it was with Suruchi Chandra, MD- Integrative Psychiatry and Medicine, Bethesda, MD. Seems like a good connection for you if you haven't already found it. The posting was for potentially also an online coach, which is why I applied though I'm on the opposite side of the country myself.

Quite an undertaking! And, Lori, your kind words about my research posters meant a lot to me. I was thrilled to meet you! I'm really looking forward to the possibility of collaborating on a future research project with you! We hope to launch this exciting initiative soon! Take Care Melanie

• Tanita devices are comparable to InBody in performance. Inbody has a much longer clinical history though. I have used InBody devices for almost 10 years. You can get an at-home model that will serve you just as well as a commercial version if all you need is the data. The commercial devices have printout and history storage options that can be nice but are not completely necessary. An at-home model is $300-$400 vs $6k-$10k for a commercial one.

• hi Mary, I am sorry to hear about your colleague's breast cancer. I was diagnosed myself at an early age and that is what sent me in this direction of TCR. I have worked with BC patients in my clinic and have one stage 4 patient who is disease free - 4 years out and did follow a ketogenic diet starting upon diagnosis and continued through her conventional treatment using GKI as a marker. Additionally, fasting before chemo was very helpful for her as well. Studies to support this are growing. Many oncologists are not well educated in nutrition unfortunately. You may know of these but just in case, Miriam's book, keto for cancer and clinic site here https://www.dietarytherapies.com/ and this clinic in Turkey- https://chemothermia.com/about/ which has published on this topic. Feel free to message me.
