Podcasts about exogenous ketones

​​In this episode, I break down exactly what I do before a CrossFit workout. No powders, no hype—just the simple stuff that works. Hydration, black coffee, a walk with the dog, some sunlight, and a cold plunge to boost performance and focus. This is the exact routine I follow to feel ready—physically and mentally—before I step into the box.

Zach Bitter is best known for his 100 mile record in 2019 that was actually the world record at the time, and now still stands as the American male 100 mile record. In this episode we talk about his transition into low carbohydrate eating, why it works for him, and how he eats on a daily basis to maintain hard efforts. Zach likes to periodize his carbohydrate intake depending on his training demands. We talk about when and why he choses to up his carbohydrate intake both during training as well as in his diet. We go over how he likes to implement exogenous ketones, electrolytes, and much more. I hope you enjoy as much as I did, and if you find my podcasts entertaining, please consider leaving a rating and review.If you're interested in my nutrition services, feel free to visit my site @ www.nutritionrundown.com

Ketones are a naturally occurring energy source that our bodies produce when they're running very low on glucose and can't access it for fuel (such as when fasting or following a strict low-carb diet). When this happens, the body instead breaks stored fat down into ketones.    In recent years, there's been increasing interest in exogenous ketones and how they can complement our bodies innate production of this natural source of energy. Ketones can aid athletic performance and recovery, offer neurological and cognitive benefits, support metabolic flexibility and energy production, and more. Elizabeth Yurth, MD, speaks to these benefits and the role of ketones in health, as well as how exogenous ketones can come into play for support.    This episode of Life Time Talks is sponsored by Kenetik.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/why-exogenous-ketones   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

I welcome Michael Brandt, co-founder and CEO of Ketone IQ, to the show for a conversation about supplemental ketones! Ketone IQ offers supplemental ketones, or ketones on the go, for an instant high performance energy source. I have talked about the ketogenic diet for many years, writing many books with Mark Sisson about the amazing benefits of the ketogenic state for anti-inflammatory and immune boosting and antioxidant and protein sparing, and the keto diet has risen to popularity and become a huge fad. However, it is a little difficult to adhere to this extremely strict dietary protocol to limit carbs to the extent that you force your liver to make ketones internally. So a wonderful breakthrough in high performance supplemental technology is the availability of consuming what they call exogenous ketones—outside source of ketones—directly for athletic performance recovery and improved brain function. I have been excited about this technology for many years now and tested these products out over time, and while Michael does talk a little bit about his product, this episode is not really a commercial show. You will hear about the benefits of ketones in general, and we also talk about his own high performance athletic training, athletic training regimen, and how pursuing these daunting goals that we put up there with our competitive aspirations carry over into all aspects of daily life. I hope you enjoy this conversation, which ended up being a really interesting one centered around being the best you can be and learning about this exciting, cutting edge intervention for your training, which is supplemental ketones. You will hear all about my experience using this product on my Cactus to Clouds hike, how I felt an immediate boost in mental clarity, as you often hear about people talking about when it comes to following a ketogenic diet. If you’re an athlete, it is a really useful supplement because it plays an important role in athletic performance by keeping your brain engaged and well fueled so that your body can work as best as it can—there’s a reason why he’s got Tour de France athletes using them, as well as Ironman Legends, and MMA fighters. It’s really cutting edge stuff and I think you're going to get a lot of value out of it and probably want to try the product. If you do, I have a special discount for you and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how effective supplemental ketones are. The Ketone IQ product is a special type of formulation called a ketone diol that has a longer lasting duration in your bloodstream. I think it’s a great product, one I use a lot myself, and I welcome the idea to learn more about it. Enjoy this episode with Michael Brandt, a former marathon runner with such an interesting story to share, who founded Ketone IQ on the heels of getting a huge grant from the United States government to research the benefits of supplemental ketones for soldiers. Michael Brandt (@michaeldbrant) is an avid triathlete and marathoner, and co-founder and CEO of KetoneIQ. A lifelong student and leader of designing products around new technologies and emerging needs. Prior to starting KetoneIQ, he received his BS in Computer Science & Design at Stanford, was a Product Manager at Google, and Adjunct Professor at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, California.

High in fats and low in carbs, ketogenic diets were originally developed in the 1920s to treat children with epilepsy. Now, they've gained popularity for weight loss, and even improved cognitive function. But how much truth is there in the purported brain health benefits we see on social media? In this episode of ‘Your Brain On...', we separate the facts from the fads, and discuss: • What one might eat on a typical ketogenic diet • How ketogenic diets affect brain metabolism • The different ways your brain uses sources of energy — glucose vs. ketones • The latest data on ketogenic diet in Alzheimer's disease patients • What we know about how ketogenic diets and treatment of Alzheimer's • The outcome differences between ketogenic diets and ketone supplements in Alzheimer's • Other evidence-based nutritional approaches for brain health  For this episode, we welcome two world-renowned professionals in the field of nutrition and neuroscience: DR.

In this episode of The Metabolic Classroom, Dr. Bikman explores the history, science, and benefits of ketones, focusing on exogenous ketones.Ben highlights the significant benefits of ketones for brain health. He disputes the common belief that glucose is the brain's preferred fuel, citing research by Dr. George Cahill that indicates the brain relies heavily on ketones during fasting.The classroom also addresses the evolution and advantages of exogenous ketones. Early forms of exogenous ketones, like ketone salts, had limitations such as mineral imbalance and poor taste. Advances led to the development of ketone esters and bioidentical BHB, which are more effective and palatable. Exogenous ketones can help control appetite, reduce inflammation, and improve exercise performance. Despite initial concerns about their potential to be converted back into fat, Professor Bikman clarifies that this is not a risk, as the liver cannot reverse ketone production into fat.Overall, Dr. Bikman emphasizes that while ketones themselves offer numerous metabolic benefits, the primary advantage of a ketogenic state is maintaining low insulin levels, which supports fat burning and overall metabolic health. He encourages the use of exogenous ketones to enhance these benefits, particularly for managing cravings, improving physical performance, and supporting cognitive function.00:01 - Introduction to Ketones01:58 - Types of Ketones - Explanation of the three main types of ketones: acetoacetate, acetone, and beta-hydroxybutyrate.02:58 - Ketones and Blood Acidity - Discussion on how ketones can affect blood acidity and the distinction between ketosis and ketoacidosis.04:04 - Insulin's Role in Ketone Production - How insulin levels determine whether the body produces fat or ketones from acetyl-CoA.07:23 - Benefits of Low Insulin Levels - Overview of the metabolic benefits of low insulin levels, including improved fat burning and metabolic health.08:19 - Ketones and Brain Health - The positive effects of ketones on brain function and cognitive health, debunking the myth that glucose is the brain's preferred fuel.13:33 - Ketones and Physical Performance - Evidence that ketones improve physical performance and energy efficiency in muscle cells.17:31 - Anti-inflammatory Effects of Ketones - Ketones' role in inhibiting inflammation and their benefits for inflammatory disorders.Studies Referenced:Alzheimer's and Parkinson's (Cunnane et al., 2016): https://alzres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13195-021-00783-xKetones Elicit Distinct Alterations in Adipose Mitochondrial Bioenergetics: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32872407/Ketogenic Diet Reduces Midlife Mortality and Improves Memory in Aging Mice: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28877458/The Effects of Ketogenic Diet on Insulin Sensitivity and Weight Loss, Which Came First: The Chicken or the Egg?: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37513538/ Learn more: https://www.insuliniq.com Hosted on Acast.

I've been really curious about fueling endurance with both carbohydrates and ketones recently. In endurance sports the body uses both fuel sources to complete the distances and both fuel sources are needed. In this episode I speak with Michael Brandt of HVMN about how he fuels marathons with Ketone-IQ and carbohydrates. We have a good time talking about ketone use, carbs, energy pathways, and the use of ketones at altitude for events like the Hardrock 100 and Leadville 100.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Devon & Peter. Devon is Peter's brother-in-law. Devon is a healthcare scientist and engineer, and Peter is a food and beverage entrepreneur. Together, they created Kenetik, a healthy ketone energy drink free of sugar and caffeine, with a real fruit flavor.  Devon and Peter have known each other since their teenage years. They are hardworking, entrepreneurial, and very conscious of health and wellness. Additionally, they both have families to take care of. Dealing with their busy life, they think about how they can be efficient and excel in their work simultaneously.  This is where they discover ketones, an unknown source of energy. They start experimenting and researching ketones. The problem is they found out that ketones in the market are expensive, taste bad, and are ineffective. From there, they began to initiate their study, find sources, get ingredients, and finally create their product called Ketenik, a high-quality exogenous ketone.  In this episode, Devon and Peter talk about what exogenous ketones are and their benefits, and how drinking ketones boost your brain power. Devon and Peter discuss the different types of ketones and the difference between their products of other companies. Devon and Peter dive in about the help of ketones in dealing with radiation. Tune in as we chat about the exogenous ketones, the boost it brings to our body, their pros and cons, and the best time to drink Ketenik.

[29:36] The best time to use the kenetik exogenous ketone drinks -       Normally, morning is the best time to drink kenetik. -       Ketones can be used before a workout to have energy without elevating the heart rate.   -       When you must keep going at night, Ketenik energy can be drunk instead of coffee. -       Drinking Ketenik can satiate hunger when fasting. -       There is a study that shows you won't become intoxicated if you drink Ketenik first. [37:48] How Do Ketones Protect Us from Radiation and Magnetic Fields? -       A study shows 60% reduction in chromosomal injury after exposure to gamma radiation when supplemented with ketones. -       Consuming Ketones will help people with the APOE4 gene since they do not metabolize glucose but do metabolize ketones. -       People with Alzheimer's can still use ketones for energy for their brains. [42:32] Using Ketones to Increase BHB and Handle Reactive Hypoglycemia -       Increasing 0.8 Beta-hydroxybutyrate with 10 grams of Keteniks takes about 20 to 30 minutes, and it'll be above 2.0. -        It will depend on a person's body size and other factors. -        It is interesting to see the result of using exogenous ketones to shift faster out of reactive hypoglycemia.

Prior to starting H.V.M.N., he received his BS in Computer Science & Design at Stanford, was a Product Manager at Google, and Adjunct Professor at the Academy of Art in SF. He has always been a leader, and lifelong student, in designing products for new and emerging needs. In this episode, Michael talks about how he got involved in the biohacking space, and the inspiration behind H.V.M.N. Michael explains why Americans can significantly benefit from a ketogenic lifestyle and how exogenous ketones can fit into your diet. H.V.M.N. is a drinkable ketone; Michael describes how their products differ from their competition.

In 2017, Michael and his business partner launched their first ketone drink. Luckily, their first big customer was the United States Department of Defense.  It's important to know that drinking a ketone is not the same as doing a ketogenic diet. There's a lot of research going on, and it's an exciting time for ketones!  [04:10] Why You May Benefit From A Ketogenic Lifestyle  COVID highlighted the metabolic dysfunction that is going on in society.  If you have a less metabolically healthy profile, you're more susceptible to COVID. There's an even bigger pandemic than COVID; it's metabolic health. 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy.  All Americans can benefit from a ketogenic lifestyle because it can help improve their metabolic health.  [07:20] What Makes H.V.M.N. Different From Other Companies  A lot of brands are making great products that include exogenous ketones.  H.V.M.N. does not include any seed oils.  Their whole breakthrough was making a natural pure ketone that doesn't have salt. The ketones go directly to blood BHB and elevate your blood ketone levels. The Department of Defense was interested because they have been researching ketones since the early 2000s.  H.V.M.N. has made the most effective ketone delivery mechanism.  Overall, it works better than ketone salts. [15:35] Why You May Want To Avoid Exogenous Ketones  If you have any liver issues, then avoid exogenous ketones.  There are calories in ketones. Ketones will temporarily slow down your body's rate of producing its own ketones from fat.  So, if your goal is fasting with zero calories, you may want to avoid exogenous ketones.  You want to use exogenous ketones in conjunction with other metabolically healthy exercises.  You shouldn't have exogenous ketones on top of a bad diet.  [31:10] Some Biohacks To Try While Using Ketone-IQ Ketone-IQ™️ is a drinkable ketone designed to be taken daily to support mental clarity, athletic performance, and metabolic health.

Udaiyan Jatar, born and raised in India, had a unique upbringing due to his father's career as a fighter pilot. He attended 13 different schools across 6 states and became proficient in 4 or 5 languages. Coming from a family with a strong military background, this played a significant role in shaping his life. After completing his education, Jatar started his career in door-to-door sales. He later pursued an MBA and joined Procter and Gamble, a major company in India during the time of the country's economic opening. In this role, he gained valuable experience working to take products to market from scratch. Later on, Jatar transitioned to Coca-Cola and played a pivotal role in helping the company expand into new categories within the Indian market. His significant contributions to Coke's growth in India showcased his strategic thinking, business acumen, and ability to identify unique market opportunities. Currently, Udaiyan Jatar is CEO and Co-Founder of Tecton, where he's working hard to move the needle on bringing an exogenous keytone beverage to the mass market while educating people at the same time.  On the future of the beverage business he states, "When I looked at our portfolio strategy at Coca-Cola company globally, I realized sugar had an uphill battle ahead. You also had the problem with aging populations not wanting to drink caffeine. And I also believed in my heart of hearts that I want to drink products we made that I was happy to drink, and that I was happy for my children to drink." Tecton opened its Series A round of $10m at the beginning of 2023 and has already raised ~$5m from investors that include the former Chief of Neurosurgery at Walter Reed, an owner of an NFL team, and Empire Family Investments. (The owners of Empire Marketing Strategies, the nation's largest food broker.) Tecton is looking for potential ambassadors, partners, licensees and strategic investors that can help build this revolutionary health & wellbeing brand.  Some key moments:  Job with Coke in India, ran a joint venture with Coke and Nestle Company shifted focus to health industry, created Tecton DARPA funded, military-focused product. Educate mass market on military technology products. Dream big, start small. Test, learn, refine. Focus on "high-end dining," not McDonald's. Defend transcendent brands against competitors. Looking forward to helping with distributors, samples, podcast, and ambassador program. Tecton will be a future household name! A few key takeaways:  The genesis of the business was driven by his Co-Founder's severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) after retiring from Special Forces. Tecton is a product that provides constant energy supply to the brain through the use of ketones, which are more efficient for brain cell metabolism than glucose. DARPA, the Defense Research Projects Agency associated with the Pentagon, invested in the technology behind it, as well as looks for hard-to-commercialize technologies beneficial for the military and long-term performance of soldiers. Udaiyan emphasized the importance of starting small, testing and refining before scaling up, and targeting high-end establishments before larger chains when launching their product. There's a huge need to also educate the mass market and healthcare providers about the benefits of the technology, as well as the importance of reaching influencers and the tip of the adoption curve to spread their message effectively.

Brendan is an Associate Professor of Sport and Exercise Physiology and Head of School for the School of Health and Human Performance at DCU. His current research investigates skeletal muscle function and adaptation across the life course, with special interest in the synergy between nutrition and exercise interventions ranging from athletes to older adults. His research group performs human trials involving both acute and chronic interventions for outcomes around performance (physical and cognitive), recovery, and adaptation. It has employed various experimental designs and has been complimented by molecular analysis tools, including transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Nutrients recently and presently under investigation include caffeine, creatine, omega-3 fatty acids, resveratrol, leucine, protein hydrolysates, beetroot juice, and exogenous ketones.Brendan received his BSc in Sport and Exercise Science from the University of Limerick in 2003, MSc in Sport and Exercise Nutrition from Loughborough University in 2004, and Ph.D. from Dublin City University in 2008 before completing two years of post-doctoral training with Prof. Juleen Zierath's Integrative Physiology group at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden. His doctoral studies focussed on skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise, and in particular, the continuity between acute molecular responses to individual bouts of exercise and adaptations induced by exercise training, whereas his post-doctoral training utilized animal models and in vitro cell systems to investigate the transcriptional regulation of skeletal muscle development and mechanisms of insulin resistance. He joined the faculty in the School of Public Health, Physiotherapy, and Sport Science at University College Dublin in 2011, where he spent five years before moving to DCU. He is also a Visiting Research Scientist at the Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, Pensacola, FL, USA, and a Principal Investigator at the National Institute for Cellular Biotechnology at DCU.Outside of academia, through his sporting career as an inter-county Gaelic footballer with Sligo from 2003 to 2017, Brendan has had a lifelong association with sport, training, and performance at all levels of competition, from grassroots to elite level, and also practices in the field as a performance nutritionist with emphasis on field-based team sports, and endurance athletes.Papers discussed- Exogenous Ketone Supplements in Athletic Contexts: Past Present and FutureKetone monoester ingestion increases postexercise serum erythropoietin concentrations in healthy menExogenous ketosis increases circulating dopamine concentration and maintains mental alertness in ultra-endurance exerciseThe Effect of Novel Exogenous Ketone Supplements on Blood Beta-Hydroxybutyrate and GlucoseAcute Ingestion of a Ketone Monoester without Co-Ingestion of Carbohydrate Improves Running Economy in Male Endurance RunnersKetone IQ claimsHVMN Ketone IQ vs original product claimsDelta G claims (scroll to bottom)

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Latt Mansor. He holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford. Dr. Mansor also holds an MA (Columbia University) and BS (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. Latt brings over a decade of experience spanning academic research, health technology, and pharmaceuticals. As H.V.M.N.'s Research Lead, he oversees the scientific development and clinical applications for all H.V.M.N. products. This episode originally aired in July 2022. In this episode, Dr. Mansor speaks about the inspiration behind his career in the health industry, which eventually led to his role as H.V.M.N.'s Research Lead. Dr. Mansor explains why 88% of Americans are metabolically inflexible and how it's related to elevated blood glucose and chronic inflammation. Then, Dr. Mansor talks about the importance of stress on the body and how to find the “sweet spot” when it comes to weight lifting and other hormetic stressors. Tune in as we chat about exogenous ketones, improving sleep quality, and how Ketone-IQ can help your recovery.

His father passed away from a stroke, and his brother passed away from a heart attack. Growing up, Dr. Mansor was overweight. During his undergrad, Dr. Mansor learned about physiology and metabolism. Plus, during college, Dr. Mansor started to exercise and actually enjoyed exercise for the first time in his life. With all this knowledge, Dr. Mansor realized he could be healthy without worrying about the diseases his family members suffered from.  [10:35] Why Are 88% of American Adults Metabolically Inflexible?  Your nerves have a higher risk of getting damaged when there is a constant increase in elevated glucose in the blood. Your body knows something is wrong with increased glucose, which triggers chronic inflammation. Metabolism is all about balance and moderation.  Every enzyme has a specific temperature range at which it's optimal.  When you activate inflammation constantly, there are bound to be adverse side effects.  [15:35] Life Is All About Challenges and Growth - Use Trial and Error To Find Your Sweet Spot  Life is all about giving yourself a challenge, adapting, learning, and growing. Next time you face the same challenge, you can tackle it in a much more efficient way.  It can be difficult to find the sweet spot when you are challenging yourself. Dr. Mansor uses a trial and error approach when it comes to knowing his sweet spot while exercising.  Your body will adapt. People want instant change; however, you need to give your body time to change.  [22:40] You Need To Train Your Body To Respond To Certain Conditions Effectively and Optimally  Metabolic inflexibility is your body's inability to switch from burning glucose to burning fat. When there is dysfunction, there is bound to be a deficiency, and there is bound to be wasted energy. Everyone thinks cortisol is the bad guy; however, you need cortisol to function.  The goal is not to shut down whatever is related to chronic disease. Instead, you want to train your body to respond to specific conditions effectively and optimally.  [30:20] Exogenous Ketones Are a Source of Energy and Can Help Lower Your Hunger Hormones Ketones are fuel for you to create energy.  There are still calories with exogenous ketones.  You won't lose weight if you have too many calories and are not exercising.  Ghrelin is the hunger hormone. Ketones can help lower that hunger hormone. [36:05] Exogenous Ketones Are Useful For Getting Back Into Ketosis  If you are following a ketogenic diet, you may not need exogenous ketones. However, do you have a hard time getting back into ketosis? If you fall out of ketosis, exogenous ketones can be a helpful way for you to get back into ketosis. Exogenous ketones are also a great tool to use before exercising.  [43:20] The Brain Doesn't Metabolize Glucose As Efficiently After A Traumatic Brain Injury  Dr. Mansor researched how ketones can be a therapeutic intervention to treat traumatic brain injury. Within 48 hours, studies show hypermetabolism of glucose after trauma.  Some researchers think the body wants glucose for energy to repair.  Ketones can help give the brain another option to produce energy.  For some reason, the brain doesn't metabolize glucose as efficiently after a traumatic brain injury.  [55:55] Ketone-IQ Is A Useful Biohack To Improve Your Sleep and Recover Faster  A dose of ketones after a workout and a dose of ketones before sleep can be helpful for recovery.  Plus, ketones before sleep can improve sleep quality.  Ketone-IQ has been proven to support energy, focus, and endurance. Do not take ketones more than half an hour before bed.  Instead, take ketones right before you go to sleep.  AND MUCH MORE!

Dr. Latt Mansor holds a PhD in Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics from the University of Oxford, where his research focused on the metabolism of the type 2 diabetic heart in hypoxia.  He also holds an M.A. (Columbia University) and B.Sc. (Hons) (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. He is a world expert in physiology and metabolism, and consults with elite sport, military, clinical and research organizations. His interest in diabetes and cardiovascular disease stemmed from the high prevalence of those diseases in both his parents' families.  He then developed interests in metabolism and exercise during his undergraduate years as he created a mathematical model of adipose tissue (fat) metabolism for his final year project. He then researched using exercise as an intervention for sarcopenia, muscle loss due to aging, for his Master's thesis.  Along his journey of acquiring more knowledge on metabolic health and physiology, he started applying his findings in his daily life to strive for better health and to prove that genetic disposition to chronic diseases is not the entire equation. Epigenetics and lifestyle choices have been proven to change the trajectory of disease progression or in some cases, even reverse it!
