This week’s episode of The Metabolic Link features an in-depth conversation between our host Dominic D’Agostino, PhD, and Jeff Volek, PhD, RD, on a wide range of topics as well as questions submitted by our Twitter followers!

Dr. Volek is a registered dietitian and professor in the Department of Human Sciences at The Ohio State University.

  • Supplementary compounds for ketosis including MCT oil and exogenous ketones
  • The much-debated discussions surrounding LDL levels, bone density and kidney function while on the ketogenic diet
