The Stressor is Worth It
🗓 February 18, 2025
Embracing the Challenge for Deeper Healing
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of learning from my own chemistry, and let me tell you—Dr. Boz’s 21-Day Metabolic Kick (21 DMK) was exactly the push I needed to get my body back into weight loss and healing mode. Watching my numbers shift and knowing that my hard work, sacrifices, and dedication are paying off makes the metabolic stressors worth every effort.
As many of you know, my body fights for health every single step of the way. I wasn’t blessed with easy genetics, and I know so many of you can relate. Because of this, I have to work for my health—I don’t have the luxury of half-hearted effort. My body has never been the same since my breast cancer diagnosis, and my health faced another battle after my heart attack two years ago.
Rebalancing After Setbacks
Since my heart attack, I’ve worked hard to balance my body with minimal medication while regaining control over my metabolic health. It’s been a process—lowering inflammation, supporting cellular healing, stabilizing my numbers, and focusing on mental clarity. But finally, with my medications at the lowest level necessary, I was ready to refocus on metabolic repair.
Committing to Dr. Boz’s 21 DMK got my body’s chemistry moving in the right direction—finally. For that, I am beyond grateful. This is one of the reasons I love to Coach this program. It truly is life changing.
The Power of Metabolic Stressors
Over the past 2-3 weeks, beginning with our Sardine Challenge and leading into week one of our 72-hour clean fast, I’ve felt a huge shift in my energy and clarity. My DBR (Dr. Boz Ratio) has consistently stayed under 90, and in the past 1-2 weeks, I’ve been under 40, even dipping below 20 at times and even as low as 13. For my broken, stubborn body, this is a win for sure.
👉 Why does this matter?
A DBR under 100 means you’re in healing mode. A DBR under 20 is where we encourage cancer patients to stay for deep healing. Seeing my numbers stay this low is a huge milestone in my journey. And not one I take lightly.
By tracking these numbers, I can adjust my metabolic stressors accordingly.
✔ If my DBR starts creeping up, I know it’s time to push harder.
✔ If it stays low, I keep doing what’s working and ride that wave until I need to adjust.
This biofeedback is critical to navigating my health. Learning how to read your own numbers is one of the most powerful tools in reclaiming your health. That DBR (Dr. Boz Ratio) is my constant guide.
Fasting & Fat Adaptation: Where the Magic Happens
We’re currently 48 hours into our second week of 72-hour fasting. For any beginners out there, please know that we have worked hard to become fat-adapted—meaning, our bodies are thriving off of stored fat for fuel. This is NOT the same as starving through a fast, (which is miserable), that is NOT what we are doing here. Can you imagine living off of your stored body fat for 3 days???? Sound too good to be true? Well, I am here to tell you it is NOT.
⚠️ A word of caution: Fasting at this level is an advanced protocol. We never recommend jumping into extended fasting without first becoming fully fat-adapted. Mastering intermittent fasting before advancing.
