Armed with n=1 data and relevant studies, Geoff presents his framework on how to get the most out of blue light blocking glasses.

In this episode of Geoff Talk, he also touches on:

· The curious omission of ketosis as a key player in longevity in David Sinclair's new book: "Lifespan"

"You can say whatever you want about the keto diet, but what it did for my family and what it did for my wife, and what it did for keeping this together...you have no idea. Insult me all you want, but I go home at night knowing that this changed my life and it's changing other peoples' lives."

Thomas DeLauer has long been an advocate for the ketogenic diet. Although he now runs one of the largest health & fitness channels on Youtube, his journey started out just like anyone.

He wanted to become the best version of himself.

Just a few years ago, Thomas was overweight and carrying 280lbs on his body. By reducing his inflammation through nutrition & exercise, he was able to drop the weight and become featured on covers of popular fitness outlets like the Natural Muscle Magazine.

In this episode, we explore...

• The various diets Thomas has experimented with: Cyclical keto, vegan keto, & carnivore
• Why Thomas eats moderate fat in the morning, lean in the mid-day, and higher fat in the evening
• Using supplements like H.V.M.N. Ketone and why Thomas tends to avoid caffeine

Our former Research Lead, Dr. Brianna Stubbs, played an essential role bringing ketone esters to the public for the very first time. Brianna is now helping further ketone research at the Buck Institute, and we couldn't be more excited to follow her future work.

We dedicate this special episode to her experience in the trenches here at H.V.M.N.

In this episode, we cover:

· Reminiscing about the exciting projects, tough obstacles, and amusing moments spanning Brianna's time on the team

· How Brianna reacted and dealt with the initial community perception of H.V.M.N. Ketone

· The balancing act of relentlessly working to become the best human one can be without losing touch with what it means to be human

· The future of ketones (whether endogenously or exogenously) for general health, medical, & sport application

p.s. This isn't a good-bye forever...rest assured Brianna will be returning every so often!

Roxanne Vogel not only summited Everest, but she did so in world record-breaking time.

Her journey, timed from the moment she left and returned to her doorstep in Berkeley, took two weeks. Normally, it takes two months.

Geoffrey Woo explores her background and motivation, her training hacks & nutritional strategies (which included the use of H.V.M.N. Ketone) and what it was like to look down on the world from 29,000 feet above.

One particular dramatic point in the 2019 Tour de France was the emergence, public confirmation, and the subsequent controversy around the use of ketone esters.

Team Jumbo-Visma sparked everything off when they publicly came out to discuss the incorporation of ketone esters in their nutritional strategy. Deceuninck-Quickstep and Lotto-Soudal quickly followed suit.

Are ketone esters an unfair advantage? Or is this simply the next generation of sporting and performance food?

Let's break this down together, as there has been somewhat of a controversy with all this media attention. The co-inventor of ketone ester herself, Kieran Clarke, will also be adding color to the discussion.
