This started as a personal experiment.
My wife made it into something bigger.
“Nothing else had worked. So on December 19, 2025, a week before Christmas, I finally did something different.”
I had tried losing weight before. Gained it back every time. Felt tired. Nothing else was working. So on December 19, 2025, a week before Christmas, I decided to finally do something different and give keto a real committed try. The timing was terrible. That was kind of the point.
Christmas Eve happened. Christmas Day happened. New Year's Eve was fine. New Year's Day was not. But I did not quit. By January 20th I was at 175 pounds, down 19 pounds from food changes and daily walking. Two weeks after that, 168. Goal was 165.
Something else happened along the way that I was not expecting. My blood pressure came back to a normal range and I was able to work with my healthcare provider to stop taking medication I had been on for years. I want to be direct about this: that was my personal experience with a change in how I was eating. It is not something CleanKeto promises, predicts, or can produce for anyone else. Every person's situation is different. If you are on medication for any condition, the only right conversation is with your healthcare provider, not an app. I am sharing it because it happened to me and it is part of why I kept going. That is all it is.
I am 62. The weight loss phase is done. The gym is the next step for me. That is what Phase Four is built for. And it does not have to happen all at once. Some people add the gym in month two. Others need six months just to get the food right before anything else. The app is ready when you are, not on anyone else's timeline.
My wife started with me on the same day, the same plan, the same food. Watching my results come in while hers did not match was demoralizing for her. That is a hard thing to watch someone you care about go through, especially when they are doing everything right. We went deep into the research together to understand why the same plan was producing such different outcomes in the same household.
What we found was clear: the standard keto framework was built around male metabolism. For women navigating perimenopause and beyond, the hormonal picture is fundamentally different. This was not a willpower issue. It was a biology issue that nobody was accounting for. So we built CleanKeto to account for it, for both of us and for everyone like us.
