Listen now and start getting your energy back today! Episode Notes The conversation emphasizes the benefits of short-term ketosis for improving mitochondrial function and energy production, while also cautioning against long-term adherence to a ketogenic diet. Azadi stresses the importance of incorporating healthy carbohydrates to achieve metabolic flexibility and avoid potential negative impacts of prolonged ketosis. He also delves into the mitochondrial uncoupling process during ketosis, highlighting its unique role in increasing energy production while lowering free radicals. Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Energy Levels Mitochondria play a crucial role in energy production and overall health by detecting and responding to stressors in the body. Dysfunction in mitochondria has been linked to various diseases, highlighting the importance of maintaining mitochondrial health for optimal energy levels. Short vs Long Term Ketosis Short-term ketosis can improve mitochondrial function and energy production, promoting metabolic flexibility. However, long-term adherence to a ketogenic diet may have potential drawbacks, emphasizing the importance of incorporating healthy carbohydrates for overall health. Transitioning to a more flexible approach after a period of ketosis can help maintain optimal health and well-being. The Benefits of Ketones Ketones act as signaling molecules that communicate with mitochondria to promote the creation of new mitochondria, enhancing energy production. The production of ATP from ketones is significantly higher than from glucose, resulting in a 400% increase due to the creation of new mitochondria. This process, known as mitogenesis, upregulates the system and optimizes energy production.   For show notes, visit https://fivejourneys.com/podcast/  Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/feelfreakingamazing/    Ben is the author of four best-selling books, Keto Flex, The Perfect Health Booklet, The Intermittent Fasting Cheat Sheet, and The Power of Sleep.
