@steelbh I take 1 tbsp daily of Qunol Liquid Turmeric - https://www.amazon.com/Turmeric-Curcumin-Qunol-Bioperine-Supplement/dp/B079T64N8K/ref=sr_1_1_sspa - the serving size is 15 ML (1 tbsp) and contains 1000 mg of Curcumin Turmeric and also contains Black Pepper Extract and a few other things. Sometimes I mix it with a glass of water to take with my other supplements. It mixes well with water, juice, coffee or most things and doesn't taste bad. Before I used the liquid turmeric I was using Qunol's Turmeric instant drink mix which also contains ginger -- https://www.amazon.com/Qunol-Turmeric-Absorption-Anti-Inflammatory-Supplement/dp/B07QF8RGXH/ref=sr_1_1_sspa

I do use 10 lb hand weights to help with my arms and shoulders but not as much as I should. Most of my exercise is using my elliptical which also helps with my arms and shoulders but is more weight bearing and like walking which is what I personally need. I'm no expert and have no medical training but I try and take a queue from my body. If I'm doing something and it starts hurting, I stop doing it. It might be something to discuss with your doctor. Last April I had a knee replacement and there were days I didn't want to do the rehab exercises but I did push myself some because the therapist showed me what I needed to do as part of the recovery and I tried to keep on schedule with it. I think the key is not to over do it but I think that is really dependent on the individual. You are definitely ahead of me if you are doing yoga and stretching exercises. I know that would help me but I just haven't made the time to do it....yet 🙂

I just started using intermittent fasting a few weeks ago and so far I am amazed at how much it's helping me with my weight struggle. Since you are following the keto diet somewhat, you may be interested in following a health journey blog by @LeeAase -- https://social-media-university-global.org/my-health-journey/
Lot's of good information on diet and exercise.

Keep up the good work with the diet and the exercise, and just take it one day at time!
