“The gold standard to determine whether someone has achieved a state of nutritional ketosis is to measure blood ketone levels. For those who have difficulty reaching and sustaining ketosis, ketone supplementation may be beneficial.”

“However, most studies on ketosis have been conducted in men and have only assessed short-term effects. A recent study found that nutritional ketosis reduces blood glucose, insulin, and inflammatory markers in healthy women practicing long-term ketosis.”

“The ketogenic diet elicits ketosis to varying degrees, and assessing circulating ketone levels is important. Ketones can be measured in blood, breath, or urine, with the most suitable approach depending on several factors.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers audience questions on various health, nutrition, and science topics in this Q&A session.

“Nutritional ketosis, achieved by following a high fat, low carbohydrate diet, has therapeutic effects for a broad range of neurological disorders, particularly seizures. To aid with his research in this area, Dr. D'Agostino is developing ketone supplements – ketone esters and ketone mineral salts.”

“These include increasing blood-brain flow, modulating adenosine, and reducing neuroinflammation. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino describes how nutritional ketosis may support the treatment of neurodegenerative and other brain disorders.”

“While ketogenic diets may not be optimal for adding muscle mass, they may be suitable for preserving muscle mass and improving other metabolic parameters, particularly during weight loss and fasting. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino discusses how ketones produced during fasting and ketosis protect against muscle loss.”

“The impact of the ketogenic diet on gut bacteria has not been actively studied. In animal models high-fat diets are thought to provoke the release of endotoxin from bacterial cell membranes resulting in negative health consequences. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the ketogenic diet and its implications for gut health.”

“In this episode, Dr. Rhonda Patrick chats with Dr. Darya Rose and Kevin Rose. Kevin talks about his experiments with a ketogenic diet featuring large amounts of vegetables combined with fats to drive his ketosis and other ideas and projects he is working on.”

“The investigators found increased concentrations of multiple ketone bodies in the blood and increased expression of genes for ketone production, indicating participants succeeded in maintaining ketosis.”
