Debbie and Latt Mansor sat down again to dive into research on how, when and why to use Ketone IQ to improve performance and recovery. Check out the recently published a paper on metabolic psychiatry: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1142682/full and our research partners at one of America's largest senior military colleges (University of North Georgia) recently completed and submitted a study on Ketone-IQ for anaerobic exercise. I would love to be talk about these with you on a new episode on your podcast, since it is the first time in history that a study actually uses exogenous ketones for anaerobic exercise. Overview and link to pre public manuscript below: METABOLIC EFFECTS OF R-1,3-BUTANEDIOL (KETONE-IQ) DURING AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC EXERCISE BOUTS. A new Ketone-IQ research study was recently completed at a top US senior military university (University of North Georgia) — The study has been submitted to Frontiers in Physiology as of March 30, 2023 and currently under review. The findings showed supplementation of Ketone-IQ significantly increases blood ketones and significantly improves anaerobic performance while decreasing fatigue levels on a repeated cycle ergometer. The potential mechanism may include glycogen sparing effect which has already previously been show in studies with exogenous ketones but the more novel hypothesis could be the cognitive benefit that Ketone-IQ is providing the participants to have a significant effect on mental resilience and strength For the first time ever, exogenous ketones were used as a nutritional strategy to assess its effects on anaerobic exercise since all the performance studies in the past using exogenous ketones have been focused on endurance exercise. Ketone-IQ shifts metabolism towards fats as shown by respiratory exchange ratio (RER) in both 5 km aerobic exercise and anaerobic bouts of exercise. Ketone-IQ taken together with carbs have shown to increase anaerobic average power output, peak power output and velocity in the Wingate Anaerobic Test. Ketone-IQ has also shown decrease fatigue during anaerobic exercise.

Save 10% off with our podcast code LOWCARBATHLETE What is Ketone-IQ™️ ? Ketone-IQ™️  is a new daily ketone supplement developed by H.V.M.N. It provides energy from ketones, a source of metabolic fuel like glucose or fat.   Ketone-IQ™️ contains R-1,3-butanediol (R-1,3-BDO). R-1,3-BDO is a drinkable ketone that can raise blood ketone levels when consumed. Elevated blood ketone levels are linked to benefits for mental focus, endurance, recovery, and more.   Each bottle of Ketone-IQ™️ contains ten 35ml servings, and each serving contains 10 grams of ketones. We do not recommend taking more than 3 servings of Ketone-IQ™️  per day.   Save with my podcast code- LOWCARBATHLETE and try it out for yourself.   Watch the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/OiR0hgu7UBI   Resources mentioned: https://www.drstacysims.com/ https://hvmn.com/products/ketone   Timestamps: [05:57] About HVMN Ketone IQ [11:00] The roles of ketones during exercises [14:35] The post-workout recovery protocol [18:47] The ideal protein and carbs for post-workout recovery [22:51] Does ketosis help in fat burning?

A new study, conducted by MIT, explored how a ketogenic diet and exogenous ketones govern signaling biological programs that maintain intestinal stem cell function. We know ketone bodies like beta-hydroxybutyrate have signaling roles in the body and can help regulate things like appetite, metabolism, and neurotransmitter function. This study provides evidence that BHB itself may play a key mediating role in maintaining intestinal health too. Do ketones themselves (and not necessarily through fasting or a ketogenic diet) alone drive some of the metabolic and functional benefits? What were the exact findings? Let's find out.

Mikhaila Peterson has officially coined her version of the carnivore diet: The Lion Diet. Strictly sticking to ruminant meat, salt, and water cured Mikhaila of her autoimmune issues back in 2018. Most recently, she's been experimenting with multi-day intermittent fasting as another lifestyle and nutritional intervention. While Mikhaila initially targeted for fat loss, she also found that fasting was a profound tool for mental health and emotional stability. What else happens when a carnivore embarks on a 7-day fast? Let's find out. In this episode, Geoff and Mikhaila discuss: 7-Day Fasting: Experience, biomarker data, lessons learned, and tips & tricks The carnivore diet and how it may have affected Mikhaila's microbiome (resulting in C.

Dr. Latt Mansor is the new Research Lead of H.V.M.N, and we're proud to share his fascinating research and upcoming work with our listeners! In Dr. Mansor's thesis study, he found that the diabetic heart retains metabolic flexibility to adapt to hypoxia. Hypoxia is a condition when the body lacks adequate oxygen. Since diabetic hearts are more prone to hypoxia, getting closer to understanding if it could adapt to it was an important finding. For context, diabetes and hypoxia have opposing effects on metabolic substrates in the heart. Diabetes promotes fatty acid oxidation and suppresses glycolysis, whereas adaptation to hypoxia suppresses fatty acid oxidation and promotes glycolysis. The key result of Dr. Mansor's paper was that diabetic hearts did indeed adapt to chronic hypoxia, by increasing glycolysis and decreasing fatty acid oxidation. In addition, Geoff & Dr. Mansor discuss: The implications of the study that was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Medicine, which discovered how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability The complex relationship between diet, oxygen, and HIF (our oxygen-sensing pathway) The potential of ketones to improve metabolic inflexiblity Dr. Mansor's study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4713751 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Animal-based vs. plant-based nutrition - What's most optimal for human health & performance? Frank Tufano, a follower of an animal-based, zero-carb diet for over 5 years, has garnered quite a unique reputation on Youtube. Along with his informative videos on the ins-and-outs of a carnivorous lifestyle, Frank doesn't shy away from scrutinizing the rapidly growing (and arguably more culturally accepted) plant-based diet. In this podcast, Geoff and Frank discuss: · The cultural impact of a recent study (published in Annals of Internal Medicine) that concluded that the current public-health recommendation to eat less red and processed meat isn’t backed by strong evidence · Cooked meat vs. Raw meat: What are the proposed benefits for consuming raw meat or fermented foods? · Analyzing the common arguments for veganism (i.e. reducing environmental impact) and how Frank debunks them Check out Frank's channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIEiE-hnAUXUZNNeMJsZBYA/featured ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

With the 100-Mile American Record already under his belt (for 5+ years), ultra endurance athlete Zach Bitter just outdid himself on August 25th, 2019. He crushed the 100-Mile World Record, setting a 6:48-mile pace and besting the previous world record by nearly 10 minutes. Zach is notable for his low-carb, high-fat, animal-based lifestyle as a professional endurance athlete. He first transitioned to the ketogenic diet during an off-season, and immediately felt his sleep, energy, and recovery improve. By developing a flexible, fat-adapted metabolism, he's able to tactically use carbs to maximize racing performance. In this episode, Geoff & Zack discuss: · Zack's 100 Mile World Record, his mental game during racing, and why he got into ultra-endurance sport · LCHF diets for therapeutic cases vs. performance cases...does an athlete have more "leeway" with eating carbohydrates? · Carnivore diet for leaky gut & autoimmune issues Check out Zack's podcast here: https://humanperformanceoutliers.libsyn.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

"Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable." In his new book, "Lifespan", David Sinclair has proposed a radical new theory of aging, suggesting that the aging hallmarks are symptoms of epigenetic changes that occur over time, but that the original genetic code remains very much intact. If we can reset the code, can we slow, stop or even reverse aging? Sinclair believes we can. Geoffrey Woo, after digesting "Lifespan", has formulated some interesting thoughts based on the information given and hypotheses proposed in the book. In this book review, Geoff details the core concepts of aging, the practical ways we can slow it, & his final verdict on Sinclair's bold theory for extending longevity.

Roxanne Vogel not only summited Everest, but she did so in world record-breaking time. Her journey, timed from the moment she left and returned to her doorstep in Berkeley, took two weeks. Normally, it takes two months. Geoffrey Woo explores her background and motivation, her training hacks & nutritional strategies (which included the use of H.V.M.N. Ketone) and what it was like to look down on the world from 29,000 feet above.

One particular dramatic point in the 2019 Tour de France was the emergence, public confirmation, and the subsequent controversy around the use of ketone esters. Team Jumbo-Visma sparked everything off when they publicly came out to discuss the incorporation of ketone esters in their nutritional strategy. Deceuninck-Quickstep and Lotto-Soudal quickly followed suit. Are ketone esters an unfair advantage? Or is this simply the next generation of sporting and performance food? Let's break this down together, as there has been somewhat of a controversy with all this media attention. The co-inventor of ketone ester herself, Kieran Clarke, will also be adding color to the discussion.

This week’s episode is truly the embodiment of the popular motto, “Taking your health into your own hands”. The story of Dr. Terry Wahls is a fascinating, deeply personal dive into the tie between nutrition and disease management. Dr. Wahls, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa, has struggled with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis for more than a decade. In the year 2000, Wahls was jogging every morning. Just three years later, she found herself confined to a wheelchair suffering from chronic pain and brain fog. Despite having access to the latest drugs from reputable establishments like the Cleveland Clinic, it wasn’t until a radical change in her diet and additional interventions like neuromuscular stimulation that Dr. Wahls finally felt she was on the road to a form of recovery. Now, she can walk, work, and has since even completed an 18-miler bike race. || Relevant Links || Dr. Terry Wahls: https://terrywahls.com/ Episode Transcription: https://hvmn.com/podcast/episode-120-dr-terry-wahls ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Earlier this week, San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to ban e-cigarettes in San Francisco. It will be the first city to do so. In the game of "which one is unlike the others," it's really not obvious that amongst alcohol, chewing tobacco, marijuana, tobacco cigarettes, and e-cigarettes, that you'd pick e-cigarettes as the one with the highest danger and harm potential. A blanket vape ban feels like a rash, politicized, and overly emotional policy making...and I'll be explaining why. I also talk about the recent comments by the Pentagon eyeing the ketogenic diet, and the negative effects the popular anti-aging drug metformin has on exercise. || Relevant Links || Pentagon Article: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/jun/10/pentagon-eyes-ketogenic-diet-bid-build-more-lethal/ JUUL Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/25/us/juul-ban.html Metformin Article: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/19/well/move/an-anti-aging-pill-think-twice.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

In the world of sports nutrition, a constantly evolving field, more and more athletes are adopting low-carbohydrate diets. Especially in the case of long distance endurance racing, an aerobic-heavy activity, wouldn't it make sense that athletes could benefit from being fueled by fat vs. carbohydrates? This is a popular debate with conflicting evidence and anecdotes presented from both sides. In this podcast, we capture the personal story from a former Ironman Champion: Pete Jacobs. He's not a carbohydrate athlete, nor a traditionally ketogenic one...Pete is purely fueled by meat. Pete has faced a life-long battle with his personal health. Ever since he found it nearly impossible to get his heart rate up during high school sports, along with rough bouts of fatigue and gut issues, he knew he was facing an uphill battle. Although he marched on to successfully pursue a sporting career, Pete has struggled in the health department as he pushed his bodily limits in the performance department. With intuition that the core root cause was linked to his metabolic health, Pete gave the ketogenic diet a spin. He saw notable progress, but eventually found his nutritional calling to be one (or two) steps further... The carnivore diet. In this episode, you'll discover: Why the carnivore diet worked for Pete and what health issues were corrected What Pete eats: Organ meats, seasons with salt but no pepper, what animals he's tried, and more Tips for endurance performance: Using ketone esters & caffeine, the power of positive mental reinforcement, and applying endurance ideals to normal life || Relevant Links || Pete Jacobs: http://petejacobs.com/ Full episode transcription: https://hvmn.com/podcast/episode-119-pete-jacobs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out our products for optimal metabolic, physical, & cognitive health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey

Vegan replacement meats has been a huge trend in recent months.

Feeling stressed out? Your metabolism may be sharing the burden. This episode, featuring returning favorite Dr. Molly Maloof, revolves around stress. An essential facet of human function, how we perceive and respond to the stressors in our lives is key for our well-being. It’s not all simply in your mind, and even if the source of a stress IS mental, there can be physical and metabolic downstream effects. Intermittent fasting is an example of direct physical and metabolic stress. Yes, while we are huge advocates of fasting & its many benefits, it is important to understand this nuance. That teases out a question...should you still fast if you’re under heavy stress? Speaking from personal experience, Dr. Maloof provides interesting insight into when it may be time to take a stress break from fasting. In addition, Geoff & Dr. Maloof chat about nutritional periodization to train your metabolism, continuous glucose monitoring and how to interpret different glucose spikes, and the importance of mitochondrial function. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out HVMN's products for optimal metabolic health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Meal replacements. It’s an arm of the food industry that has exploded in the last few years. As more & more of us are on-the-go or trying to maximize office productivity, quick & easy nutrition climb higher in demand. The problem is, most of these products are not exactly what we’d call “healthy”. Connor Young is the founder and CEO of Ample, an up-and-coming leader in science-based meal replacement drinks. With formulations consisting of whole-food ingredients, Ample creates specific products targeting ketogenic, vegetarian, and standard diet lifestyles. While incredibly convenient, a meal in a bottle is perhaps the poster child of "processed food". Processed food, often associated with unhealthy snacks, has almost become a hush word for the health-conscious. Connor surfaces the notion that there's a spectrum between unprocessed and processed, and that processing food isn't inherently a bad thing. An example of this is the pea protein in Ample: By processing the peas, they are able to remove problematic lectins. As a long-time health & fitness proponent, Connor has fascinating insight into what constitutes an optimal meal replacement. "To a certain degree, everything is processed. You cooking your steak is processed. You cutting up an apple is technically processed. So ultimately, it's figuring out for each individual ingredient, what is the ideal state? Then, how do we get close to that state?" || Relevant Links || Use code "HVMN" to save 15% off your first Ample order: https://www.amplemeal.com/ Full Transcription: https://www.hvmn.com/podcast/episode-116 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out HVMN's products for optimal metabolic health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

One of the greatest challenges of training is successfully attaining "functional overreaching". Pushing your maximal capacity results in stress that leads to beneficial adaptations...making your body stronger, faster, & better. What happens when you do it wrong? Aptly named, "non-functional overreaching" occurs. Nothing will help besides rest and recovery. In the case of "overtraining", the more serious form of overreaching, it might take months for even the most elite athletes to bounce back. A recent study found promising signs that ketone esters can alleviate overreaching symptoms. The researchers didn’t necessarily look at how ketones acutely influence exercise performance, but rather how consistent supplementation could affect recovery and training capacity. The lead researcher, Professor Peter Hespel, described the potential effect of ketones in recovery as “unseen” and “many times greater” than what he’s seen with other nutritional supplements. Geoffrey Woo breaks this study down, analyzes the experiment structure, and digs deep into the findings for every last nugget of applicable information. || Relevant Links || Ketone ester supplementation blunts overreaching symptoms during endurance training overload HVMN Ketone Ester Full Episode Transcription ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out HVMN's products for optimal metabolic health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

On May 14th, 2019, close to two million people on the ketogenic diet found themselves without a support system, no new meal recipes to add to their week, and really...no home. Banting 7-Day Meal Plans, a popular Facebook low-carb group with over 1.6 million members, was banned by the platform without warning. Many were in uproar and disbelief. Heated discussions around censorship, targeted attacks, and even anti-low-carb conspiracies ran amuck. Notable figures such as Professor Tim Noakes, Dr. Shawn Baker, Marika Sboros, and Crossfit founder Greg Glassman chimed in with their own two cents. Clashing opinions, ranging from blaming silent but powerful anti-fat industry heads to supporting Facebook’s decision because they believe the diet is unscientific, caused quite the schism. Or rather...widened the schism that’s been building as more and more adopt ketogenic/low-carb/banting lifestyles. After all was said and done, Facebook reinstated the group 2 days later. What could have caused the banning of millions in the first place? The creator of "Banting 7-Day Meal Plans", Rita Venter, joins this episode to walk us through the entire debacle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out HVMN's products for optimal metabolic health: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Even as the fear of fat declines within the public eye, you've still probably experienced disbelief & bewilderment from co-workers, friends, or family when talking about your ketogenic lifestyle. Imagine being a high-fat, low-carbohydrate proponent as an esteemed scientist nearly two decades ago. With more than 750 published scientific articles & 70 marathons under his belt, Prof Tim Noakes is well-known for his many contributions to nutrition & exercise science. At the beginning of his research career, he was an advocate for a high-carb diet, which is no surprise given the medical dogma at the time, yet Noakes completely changed his mind when he learned about the value of the high-fat diet. Not only was he an early leader in the ketogenic movement, a stance that temporarily costed him his medical license, but Noakes actually reversed his own Type 2 diabetes through a low-carb, high-fat diet. Perhaps one of the reasons he has upheld a high reputation is his continued desire to question current scientific theory, even conclusions he first helped define. Rather than turning a blind eye and staying with his preconceived notions, Noakes follows the evidence...a model we should all aspire to have.

How do you know if you’re following the ketogenic diet or intermittent fasting properly? You might feel the subjective benefits of ketosis, but quantitatively measuring ketone levels is always the most accurate (via breath, blood, or urine). Blood testing has been the standard for academic literature. However, practically speaking, many people aren’t going to be pricking their finger for blood to check if they’re in ketosis. Keyto is aiming to make the ketogenic diet more accessible through a breath meter device & phone app. Dr. Ethan Weiss, the founder of Keyto, hopes to fill that gap with the right balance of accessibility and science. Dr. Weiss, who is also a cardiologist and professor at the UCSF, is our guest this week.

Before an important talk or a podcast, Dr. Rhonda Patrick drinks exogenous ketone esters. Why? With Dr. Patrick describing the benefit as feeling "less anxious and more in the present", there's something worth unpacking here. Can ketones help with anxiety?

Fat is fuel. It’s a common saying within the keto community. Let’s focus on this in regards to the brain. Fat cannot directly be used by the brain, but the ketones that become converted from a fat source can. If a brain can no longer effectively use glucose, which is an observation of many neurodegenerative diseases, can we look at ketones as an alternative fuel source? This is the genesis of Dr. Mary Newport’s story. Dr. Newport’s husband, Steve Newport, battled with Alzheimer’s disease until 2016, the time of his passing. During Steve’s battle, his condition responded dramatically upon the consumption of exogenous ketones - particularly from coconut oils & ketone esters. Dr. Newport often described this response as “seeing the light coming back on in his eyes”. Host Geoffrey Woo & Dr. Newport discuss the proposed mechanisms of action behind her husband’s treatment with exogenous ketones, what to look for in coconut & MCT oils, & what the root causes of the rise of Alzheimer’s might be.

The broad field of nutrition and health is rife with myths, misconceptions and frequently posed yet seemingly fundamental questions that we intuitively feel should have simple answers. Is a calorie a calorie? Is obesity due to eating too much or doing too little? Is breakfast actually the most important meal of the day? When looking through the lens of insulin resistance, breakfast has often been seen as a "problem" meal that leads to the largest blood sugar spikes...especially for Type 2 diabetics. This is largely due to the typical "healthy" Western breakfast foods that are high in carbohydrates: Cereal, oatmeal, toast and fruit. A recent study aimed to explore if eating a low-carb and high-fat meal first thing in the morning is a simple way to prevent this large insulin spike, improve glycemic control throughout the day, and reduce other diabetes complications. This is the paper Dr. Brianna Stubbs will be diving into in this episode of the Research Roundup.

mTor…mechanistic target of rapamycin. What is it? We reference mTor frequently on our podcast, particularly when we discuss fasting or keto and their potential for extending health & lifespan. mTor is a pathway that helps controls cell growth. In the most simplest terms: When you have high mTor activation, you promote growth in the body. When you have low mTor activation, you promote repair and maintenance. mTor is sensitive to the nutrients we consume (especially protein and carbohydrate), so by controlling our diet, we can control mTor. This is an exciting area because a lot of people think mTor plays a role for longevity & metabolism. The ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting are natural ways to target & regulate your mTor. Dr. Keith Baar, a professor of Physiology at the UC Davis Medical School, is an expert on mTor and muscle growth. This is a valuable conversation for anyone interested in mTor and strategies to control it, and why non-tissue specific approaches like rapamycin might have problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAVE 50% OFF GO CUBES: https://www.hvmn.com/pod (offer ends April 19th, 2019) Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Wait...hasn't ketones been shown to reduce inflammation in prior studies? When a new study researched the effects ketones have on inflammation, the results were opposite to what everyone expected...including the researchers themselves. The paper was published in the Journal of Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, and the research group that carried out the work were led by Dr Jonathan Little at the University of British Columbia. Rather than inhibiting the inflammatory response through BHB’s (a ketone body) actions on the NLRP3 inflammasome, the researchers found that activity of several immune markers was higher when people had consumed ketones. It can be easy to jump to conclusions and state that "Exogenous Ketones = Increased Inflammation"...as the title of the paper acutely suggests. Dr. Brianna Stubbs tackles this study and provides further, necessary nuance on how the experiment was conducted, why the results may actually be more positive than negative, and why this development warrants future research.

Metabolic syndrome. It’s a term we throw out all the time on this podcast. It’s about time we have an episode to specifically define metabolic syndrome, why we should care, and what we can do about it. To help do this, we have none other than Ivor Cummins, aka The Fat Emperor, on the podcast today. Cut from a similar cloth as folks like Dave Feldman and host Geoffrey Woo, Ivor comes from a professional background in engineering, therefore applying an engineers mindset and problem solving to the field of nutrition and metabolic health. After spending 30 years in corporate technical leadership positions, Ivor is now the Chief Program Officer for Irish Heart Disease Awareness (IHDA). Ivor regularly speaks at well-known health and medical conferences around the world on the same stage as professors and doctors. In this episode, you'll discover: 1. What the criteria is for diagnosing metabolic syndrome, what the root causes are, and how to reverse it through lifestyle changes. 2. What a CAC (Coronary artery calcium) scan is and how calcium is a good direct marker for cardiovascular disease 3. The nuances of different types of fats (saturated, unsaturated, polyunsaturated, and trans fats). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit HVMN: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

On this Research Roundup, Dr. Brianna Stubbs discusses the culprit behind a news story that generated a health controversy recently. What do you think the media touted as the next food ready to knock years off your life? This time it’s not cakes and soda, it's not red meat, it's not alcohol...it’s the humble egg. Dr. Brianna Stubbs unpacks the study behind the batch of fear-mongering headlines. The study in question was published in a well respected journal called JAMA. The study is titled: Associations of Dietary Cholesterol or Egg Consumption With Incident Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality. After discussing the controversial JAMA study, Dr. Brianna references two additional papers to help paint a more balanced picture around egg consumption: Egg consumption and risk of coronary heart disease and stroke: dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. Eggs enriched in omega-3 fatty acids and alterations in lipid concentrations in plasma and lipoproteins and in blood pressure. What's the truth about eggs? Tune in and find out!   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit HVMN: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

In modern life, most of us do most everything under artificial light - at the office, at the gym, at the store. The light bulb allows us to not be beholden to the sun and clearly a huge technological step forward for human life. But have we gone too far? What if we’re missing something valuable to our health and performance from sunlight, especially the parts of the light spectrum that are missing from artificial light? Scott Nelson, the co-founder of Joovv, is working to help us better understand this question. Scott has spent much of his career in leadership positions at some of the largest medicine technology companies, Medtronic and Boston Scientific to name two. Now with Joovv, he is commercializing full-body red light therapy and photobiomodulation devices designed for consumer use. What is red light therapy and its benefits? Users report improved skin, accelerated muscle recovery, enhanced cognitive ability...even increased testosterone production. These are sweeping claims. Is it too good to be true? Host Geoffrey Woo raises up this exact question and more to Scott, and we learned a ton about Joovv's approach to red light therapy and how we can all benefit from being more thoughtful of the light we're around. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit HVMN: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Raise your glasses!  This is a fun episode for our 21+ listeners. We welcome Todd White, CEO of Dry Farm Wines, to the program. Dry Farm Wines is known as a keto-friendly "biohacked" wine. Todd is quite a biohacker himself, diving deep into a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. We start off our conversation by first diving into the cognitive benefits of the ketogenic diet and Todd’s other biohacks, and then move on to the meat of the episode: Wine. Let’s get real: Alcohol is a neurotoxin and is not great for performance. Why would a self-proclaimed biohacker and health-conscious person like Todd make a company around it? More broadly, what are some of the dirty secrets and production loopholes of the wine industry? How can a wine become sugar-free? Host Geoffrey Woo and Todd explore all these topics and much more. If you enjoy the episode and feel like Dry Farm Wines is a product that fits your lifestyle well, visit www.dryfarmwines.com/hvmn. Through that link, Todd is kind enough to hook you up with a 1-penny bottle of wine along with your purchase.    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit HVMN: https://www.hvmn.com/pod Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Whether it's through diet, exercise, nootropics, or cutting-edge biotechnology, there’s tons of levers we can pull to improve our health and performance. Siim Land, a biohacker and high-performance coach, has been experimenting with these levers much of his life, recently sharing his knowledge and experiments through his Youtube channel. While he has dabbled in many biohacks, his bread and butter interventions (or should we say just butter) are following the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting. What do keto and IF have in common? One of the main end goals of the two interventions is ketosis - a physiological state in which ketones are being burned as fuel. In this episode, you'll discover: The intuitive “feeling” of ketosis and how you may not need to rely on ketone monitors all the time as you become more experienced What changes in biomarkers like IGF-1 might mean when eating high-fat What is okay to consume when following keto or intermittent fasting Follow along with our transcription: www.hvmn.com/podcast/low-carb-high-performance-ft-siim-land-ep-105 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Receive a free Yawn with your purchase of HVMN Ketone: https://www.hvmn.com/pod (Offer ends March 17th, 2019) Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

Hello listeners, and welcome to the HVMN Podcast. It’s Dr. Brianna Stubbs. We’re switching things up here this week, as I’ll be your host...giving Geoff a bit of time off! This week, we are going to look at the topic of Science communication. If you’ve tuned in to my Research Roundup series, which can get quite science-heavy at times, you may find that it can be tough to follow along with the medical terms and jargon. And honestly, it can be challenging for me to break down these complicated topics and make them interesting and accessible for people who have different levels of background science knowledge. When thinking about the ‘art and science’ of communication, with science you might need to go even more towards the art - to try and bridge the gap between research and public understanding. This has always been a pain point. With the inescapable rise of social media and the big uptick in numbers of scientists and influencers in health and performance who are taking to Twitter to share their findings and thoughts, science communication has changed a lot in the last few years. It will surely continue to evolve. I explore this hefty topic with Dr. Paige Jarreau, whose research focuses on the intersection of science communication, journalism, and new media. Along with teaching at LSU, she works at LifeOmic, a telemedicine app we touch upon in this episode. Page also practices some of Team HVMN’s favorite interventions, such as intermittent fasting and meditation. We chat about science on social media, tips for beginners on reading research papers, and some of the challenges women face in academia.   --------------------------------------------------------- Check us out: www.hvmn.com/pod  Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!
