January 25 by in Arthritis, Keto, Success stories

Congratulations to Joe, who has reached tremendous success on a keto diet. Here’s a recent tweet of his:

Feel free to share this with people who have doubts. Started keto Mother’s Day, 2017. At 47 years old, I feel like I’m 25 again. Keto has also reversed my arthritis from a shattered ankle & I no longer need arthritis & pain meds for first time in 27 years pic.twitter.com/aPuXoq64Ma
