In this episode, I speak with Dr. Ryan Lowery on some of the new science behind ketogenic performance. We dive into how he has been able to make a greater impact by stepping outside of traditional academia. He tells us about some of the cutting edge research studies that illustrate the performance benefits one can obtain in a state of ketosis. He compares carbs vs ketones as they relate to building muscle. He describes the relationship between ketone bodies and lactic acid and how they use similar metabolic pathways. We dive into the pros and cons of exogenous ketones. We also touch on the research concerning degenerative diseases and possible solutions. This was a great conversation, we dove deep into the details, I hope you all enjoy!
