Ketones may be the most underrated fuel source in human metabolism, and most people only hear about them in the context of intermittent fasting or the ketogenic diet. When your body burns fat, it produces ketones- molecules that have been shown to support brain health, heart health, cognitive function, and longevity. The problem is that fasting and strict keto aren't realistic for most people, so the question is: Is there actually a way to get the benefits of ketones without giving up food?

That's exactly what my guest this week on the Medical Disruptor set out to answer. Dr. Latt Mansor earned his PhD in metabolism from Oxford and is the lead scientist behind Ketone-IQ, a ketone-based drink that gives the body the same fuel source you'd typically only access through fasting. In this episode of The Medical Disruptor, we're going deep on how ketones work, why your metabolism may be the missing piece in your health story, and how to use ketosis to take your energy, focus, and longevity to the next level.

I cover what ketones really are and why your brain and heart love them, the science behind intermittent fasting, paleo, and ketogenic diets, and why so many women are told their fatigue and brain fog are "normal" when their metabolism is actually the root cause. We get into how exogenous ketones work, who they're for, and practical ways to use them without overhauling your entire life.

If you've been medically gaslit about your energy, your weight, or your metabolic health and told everything looks "fine," this conversation is going to give you a completely different lens. You don't have to fast to feel better. You just need the right information, and that's what we're here for.
