“His work on formulating ketone esters. The differences in tolerability between MCT (medium chain triglycerides) powders versus liquids, as well as the amount of supplemental MCT a person would need to consume to achieve mild ketosis without carbohydrate restriction.”

“Ketosis, whether induced by fasting or by following a ketogenic diet, is associated with a reduction in dietary glucose. The body has elegant mechanisms that allow it to utilize non-carbohydrate substrates to generate glucose.”

“In a 12-week randomized crossover trial, a modified ketogenic diet produced sustained physiological ketosis and improved daily function and quality of life compared with a usual diet supplemented with low-fat healthy-eating guidance.”

Tim Ferriss discusses ketosis, the gut microbiome, and monitoring biomarkers to promote performance.

“Fasted exercise, particularly at the beginning of a fast, which accelerates the transition from carbohydrate metabolism to ketosis (a phenomenon called fuel switching) while also reducing feelings of hunger, thirst, stomach discomfort, and poor mood that may occur during fuel switching.”

“Watch the whole Dr. Eric Verdin episode here to learn even more about BHB and other ketones. To learn more about BHB supplementation and ketosis, watch this interview with Dr. Dom D'Agostino. In this short video, Rhonda discusses how the gut microbiome regulates immune cells.”

“This long-term food deprivation can induce a unique set of metabolic events, such as more profound ketosis, as glycogen stores are depleted, potentially promoting cellular and systemic clean-up through programs such as apoptosis and autophagy.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids promote dose-dependent increases in blood SPM levels that persist for up to 24 hours. Surprisingly, no evidence suggests higher levels of LPS leak into circulation during a ketogenic diet, likely due to the profound metabolic changes induced during ketosis.”

“In particular, he monitors his ketone levels, both upon waking and following exercise. Tim maintains that not everyone processes ketones to the same extent, and he prefers to tailor his ketone level to allow maximal mental clarity.”
