In this episode, we sit down with Frank Llosa, the founder of Hard Ketones and Ketone Aid, to explore a healthier alternative to alcohol and discuss how it can help you go beyond Dry January this year. Frank shares the science behind his innovative product, which uses a specific type of ketones to create a cleaner, more mindful drinking experience. We dive into how ketones can offer a boost in energy, mental clarity, and better overall health, making it a great choice for those looking to optimize their wellness. Whether you're looking to cut back on alcohol or just curious about biohacking with exogenous ketones, this conversation is packed with valuable insights for anyone looking to make smarter choices about what they drink.

Mr. Frank LLosa, a serial entrepreneur who has an incredible track record of success in a number of fields from real estate, to highly technical photography for National Geographic, to one of the first cloud-based storage systems available to the public. Mr. LLosa was also an elite Division I track athlete who currently incorporates biohacking to stay competitive in all his endeavors, including a vegan ketogenic diet, hitting levels over 8.0mm on diet alone. Frank and his team were warned in advance that multiple huge public companies over the last ten years had tried and failed to deliver the Ketone Ester at an acceptable purity level and price. Within six months Frank’s team contacted hundreds of labs to find the perfect partner. Ultimately having to buy all the necessary equipment three separate times to scale from bench to pilot and ultimately to full scale production.Working together as a team, they succeeded in making small batches of the purest Ketone Ester ever tested.
