Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comToday on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr. Dom D'Agostino, a leading researcher in metabolic health, ketogenic diets, and performance optimization. Dom has been at the forefront of exploring how nutrition—particularly low-carb and ketogenic strategies—impacts brain health, endurance performance, cancer metabolism, and longevity.In this episode, he and Mikki dive into two major topics that have been gaining traction in the health and nutrition space: allulose as a metabolic sweetener and the latest research on the ketogenic diet's effects on lipids, gut health, and glucose metabolism.They begin by unpacking allulose, a rare sugar that's rapidly growing in popularity within the low-carb and metabolic health community. Dom has conducted extensive n=1 experiments on this sweetener and has shared his insights widely on social media. He explains how allulose differs from traditional sweeteners, its impact on blood sugar, insulin, and GLP-1, and whether it could be a game-changer for metabolic health. They also discuss how the FDA's labeling decision influences consumer perception and what role allulose might play in future dietary strategies.The conversation then shifts to the ketogenic diet, exploring a recent study that examined its effects on metabolic health, gut microbiome, and cardiovascular markers. Some of the findings—such as increased ApoB and transient inflammation—have sparked debate, and Dom provides his perspective on what these results actually mean. He and Mikki also discuss the implications of gut microbiome shifts, the potential concerns around glucose tolerance, and how to fine-tune a ketogenic approach for long-term health.For anyone interested in the cutting edge of metabolic science—whether it's the role of emerging sweeteners or the nuances of ketogenic diets—this episode is packed with valuable insights.Dr. Dominic D'Agostino is a leading researcher in the fields of metabolic health, ketogenic nutrition, and performance science. As an Associate Professor at the University of South Florida in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, his work focuses on the neuroprotective and therapeutic applications of ketogenic diets, exogenous ketones, and metabolic therapies for conditions such as epilepsy, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.Dr. D'Agostino's research spans human performance, space medicine, and metabolic resilience, with collaborations extending to NASA, the Department of Defense, and leading medical institutions. His work has explored how ketogenic and fasting-based strategies can enhance physical and cognitive function under extreme conditions, from deep-sea diving to spaceflight.In addition to his academic and research work, he is widely recognized for his expertise in low-carb and ketogenic science, frequently sharing insights on his podcast appearances, social media, and public talks. He has conducted extensive n=1 experiments on metabolic biomarkers, dietary interventions, and the effects of ketones and alternative sweeteners like allulose, helping to bridge the gap between scientific research and real-world application.Dr. D'Agostino is also on the editorial board of multiple scientific journals, has published extensively in peer-reviewed literature, and is a sought-after speaker in the areas of metabolic health, longevity, and human optimization.

The Promise of Discovery Season 5, Episode 3 Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) is a neurodevelopmental disease which affects about 100,000 people in the US. Around 80% of these patients experience cognitive and intellectual impairments which are unaffected by currently approved therapies for NF1. A recent genetic study from our lab identified an association between the NF1 disease and a receptor protein called metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGlu7). This project investigates how using small molecules to augment mGlu7 function could help identify new therapies for NF1 patients struggling with cognitive impairments.

In this episode, we're taking a closer look at ketosis and how the ketogenic diet has evolved beyond just a weight-loss tool. I'm joined by Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, who unpacks the science behind Ketone Metabolic Therapy (KMT) and its growing role in treating conditions like epilepsy, neurological issues, and metabolic disorders. His research sheds light on the therapeutic potential of ketones, which are not only vital for energy but also key players in reducing inflammation and enhancing brain health. We also clear up some common misconceptions about keto, like battling the keto flu, and talk about practical ways to adopt and optimize the diet for better overall health. Whether you're curious about using keto for disease management or just want to understand how it can support mental and physical wellness, this episode has something for you. It's all about understanding the science and making the keto lifestyle work for your body! Key Takeaways: The ketogenic diet historically originated as a treatment for epilepsy and has expanded to other therapeutic areas, such as metabolic syndrome and neurodegenerative diseases. Ketone bodies, especially beta-hydroxybutyrate, perform dual roles as potent energy sources and cell signaling molecules that offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Keto metabolic therapy (KMT) encompasses multiple approaches, including diet, fasting, and supplements, to maintain therapeutic ketosis. Adoption of a ketogenic lifestyle may require supplement support, particularly with electrolytes, to avoid side effects like keto flu. Variations in genetic and gender responses can influence the effectiveness and experience of ketosis, necessitating personalized dietary adjustments.   More of  Dr. Dominic D'Agostino: Dr. Dominic D'Agostino is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida (USF) Morsani College of Medicine and serves as a Visiting Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC).

Today we have our good friend and colleague Dr. Dominic D'Agostino returning for his third appearance on STEM-Talk. Dom, as most of our longtime listeners know, is well-known for his research into the ketogenic diet and the physiological benefits of nutritional ketosis. Since our last conversation with Dom in 2019, a tremendous body of research has been added to the literature about the therapeutic potential of ketosis. The high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet has been linked to advances in the treatment of Alzheimer's, cancer, migraines, type-2 diabetes, psoriasis, sleep apnea, psychiatric disorders, traumatic brain injuries as well as a host of other diseases and disorders, which we cover in today's interview. In episode 14 of STEM-Talk, we talked to Dom about his development and testing of metabolic therapies involving the ketogenic diet for a wide range of diseases and conditions. In episode 87, Dom returned to reflect on his 10 years of research focused on the high-fat/low-carbohydrate diet. In today's interview, we talk to Dom about this latest work as well as his extensive research on hyperbaric oxygen. Dom is a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida Morsani. He specializes in neuroscience, molecular pharmacology, nutrition, and physiology. Dom also is our colleague and a research scientist here at the IHMC. Show notes  [00:02:50] Dawn opens the interview mentioning Dom's recent IHMC Evening Lecture, in which he mentions the film “First Do No Harm” starring Meryl Streep. The film is based on the true story of a four-year-old boy diagnosed with severe epilepsy, whose extreme seizures continued despite extensive medical treatments. The boy's mother reached to Dr. John Freeman, a physician who had successfully treated patients with a ketogenic diet. Dawn asks Dom to give some context about this fictional film based on a true story. [00:05:05] Dawn asks Dom to discuss the many evidence-based applications of the ketogenic diet that he highlighted in his IHMC evening lecture. [00:07:11] Ken asks Dom about another story involving Russell Winwood, a man with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as COPD. Russell reached out to Dom with respect to treating his COPD with a ketogenic diet. [00:11:21] Ken asks if Russell only engaged in the ketogenic diet or if also used exogenous ketones. [00:12:10] Ken mentions that the ketogenic diet has the broad potential to be an anti-inflammatory diet. Ken goes on to mention that COPD is an inflammatory disease. As Dom's case report suggested, Ken wonders if the ketogenic diet has the potential to have strong therapeutic effects for other inflammatory conditions as well. Ken asks what other conditions Dom thinks might benefit from therapeutic ketosis. [00:14:02] Dawn mentions that Dom has been busy since his last appearance on STEM-Talk, having authored or collaborated on more than 40 papers, one of which garnered a lot of attention and was published in Frontiers in Neuroscience. This paper investigated whether therapeutic ketosis via ketone esters could represent a viable way to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders. Dawn asks Dom to elaborate on this paper's findings and their significance. [00:16:26] Ken mentions that those listeners who are unfamiliar with ketone esters may want to check out our interview with Dr. Brianna Stubbs. Ken asks Dom to give a quick primer on ketone esters and why so many researchers in the field are excited about their potential. [00:19:20] Ken mentions that in addition to ketone salts and ketone esters, there are other product formulations out now, like the one from a company called Kenetik.

Reproductive Longevity with Dr. Jennifer Garrison

Joining me on the podcast today is Jennifer Garrison PhD. Jennifer is an assistant professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and also holds appointments in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the Davis School of Gerontology at the University of Southern California.Dr. Garrison's research focuses on understating how chemical communication between the brain and other tissues influence aging. Running a research lab is just one part of Dr. Garrison's work. Understanding aging on a molecular level is a key part of her work at the Buck Institute. The goal is to understand the underlying causes of aging as a way to tackle multiple diseases at the same time. “The goal is to increase health span . . . increase that period of time when you are healthy.”  Jennifer Garrison Jennifer explains that she believes that the brain is the key player for systemic aging. She explains how the brain is controlling what's happening, by listening to and recording feedback from all the organs in your body. Dr. Garrison organized the International Scientific Conference Focused on Reproductive Aging. As we make progress extending healthy longevity, reproductive longevity must also be addressed. It's not just a physical issue but affects gender equality as well. A goal is to get rid of menopause and if that's not possible, then to extend it until much later in life. There's a lack of understanding about why women experience menopause at all. Jennifer paints the big picture that is fascinating. Did you know that only humans and a few species of whales even experience menopause? The research is underfunded, and Dr. Garrison is advocating that scientists and clinicians to talk and collaborate about these issues. The male body has been the baseline. Researching women's bodies is still underfunded and Dr. Garrison along with organizations like the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation are trying to bring awareness and the need for more research. Funding is key to bringing the scientists and physicians together who can begin to answer fundamental questions about women's bodies and reproductive health. What should every woman know about reproductive aging? The ovary isn't just for fertility. It produces endocrine hormones and other chemicals that are essential for general health that have nothing to do with fertility. Those functions are what Dr. Garrison wants to learn how they can be extended to improve overall health. Reproductive aging centers around equality. Every aspect of a woman's life is affected by the fact that she will go through a decline when menopause begins. Dr. Garrison wants this to be a conversation that's reframed with a holistic point of view. It's a unique time in history to be able to marry reproductive health with longevity. Ambassadors are welcome to have conversations about women's health and the incredible work being done by Dr. Garrison and others. Connect with Dr. Garrison: Buck InstituteSupport the show

What happens when the right thing for your family isn't the best for your career? Mandy shares her guilt-free perspective and why work makes her a better mom. Honor your motherhood style: why a “one size fits all” approach doesn't work when it comes to parenting choices. Small, incremental steps are the key to success: Be authentic and follow your gut when starting your business-- you do not have to do what everyone else is doing or have everything perfect.Mandy Siglin has a lot of titles: Mother to three + PhD, yoga instructor and mindset coach. Siglin received her PhD in Molecular Pharmacology and Structural Biology from Thomas Jefferson University.  She lovingly served as the Director of Juniata College's Health Professions Program for five years. When family circumstances took her away from her Director position right before the pandemic hit, she had to make a pivot. Inspired by her ability to change the students she worked with in the past with her unique science and mindset perspective, she founded ThiveMed, a company dedicated to the wellbeing of pre-med students. Mandy uses strategic, evidence-based practices to help students increase their confidence and lower their stress and anxiety around standardized entrance exams for admission to professional school.
