Unlock the secrets of the ketogenic diet with Dr. Dominic D'Agostino as we navigate the nuances of ketogenic protocols, from their clinical roots in epilepsy treatment to their modern-day applications in enhancing athletic prowess and brain health. Whether you're a seasoned keto aficionado or simply curious about this high-fat lifestyle, you're in for a wealth of knowledge that could reshape your understanding of nutrition.
Timeline (Episode 64)
1:50 Dr. Dom has cows and gators in his backyard! His dogs have fought with gators. The mammals win!
3:45 Definition of Ketogenic Diet (KD)
8:18 There are over 100 years of clinical use of the KD
9:04 Fasting was a “cure” for seizures
11:00 Effects on the brain – how does the KD affect normal healthy subjects
15:10 Dom has been a KD for 15 years
18:34 Dom used the old MET-Rx brand way back when!
21:00 Exogenous ketone ester supplementation studies – where do we stand on this?
21:58 Consume MCT oil (the poor man’s ketone ester)
26:30 Higher ketone levels is not better
27:00 Ketone esters > Ketone salts in extreme environments
28:00 Dosing of Ketone esters (higher is not better)
29:22 Don’t exceed 10 grams of Beta-hydroxybutyrate
34:07 Advantage of being in ketosis vis a vis performance – under conditions of glycogen depletion esp. in the cognitive domain
41:57 A good supplement to start with are MCT oils (since it will elevate your ketones)
45:20 Perhaps use these esters as a training aid; given acute may enhance PVT
49:30 Debunking the myth that high fat diets are always “bad.”
