You're Not in Ketosis Until You Track This One Number with Dorian Greenow, Founder of Keto Mojo | EP 128
Tue Feb 03 2026
What's the difference between eating a ketogenic diet and actually being in ketosis?
You're adding avocado to every meal and swapping bread for lettuce wraps. You feel like you're doing everything right. But without actually testing your blood, you could be miles away from the metabolic state that triggers real healing in your body.
Host Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dorian Greenow, founder of Keto Mojo, to explain why numbers matter more than guesswork.
Dorian shares his personal journey from being 47 pounds heavier and on antidepressants to transforming his health through a well-formulated ketogenic diet. He explains the science behind glucose-ketone tracking and why it's especially crucial for anyone healing from cancer or chronic illness.
Chapters:
06:16 - Guidelines Flip the Pyramid
11:40 - Are You Actually in Ketosis
12:59 - The Glucose Ketone Index
14:53 - Why Tumors Light Up on Scans
16:17 - Glioblastoma Survival Doubles
22:51 - The Truth About GKI 1
27:05 - Prolonged Fasting Muscle Myth
41:16 - Statins, Cholesterol Controversy and the Oreo Test
Dr. Katie and Dorian discuss the striking results from a glioblastoma study that doubled median survival using ketogenic therapy. They break down what therapeutic ketosis actually looks like and your oncologist may not be addressing critical information about metabolic health and cancer.
You'll learn what your glucose and ketone numbers really mean, how to use them to optimize your healing, and why the new dietary guidelines finally recognize what holistic practitioners have known all along about metabolic disease.
Listen and learn how to stop guessing and start measuring your way to better health.
