Welcome back to the Diet Doctor podcast with Dr. Brett Schur.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Brianna Stubbs, who's the chief translational scientist at the Buck Institute.

And they're focusing a lot on longevity and prolonging health span.

And she transitioned to this from an athletic background and an athletic research background,

studying ketogenic diet and exogenous ketones, how they affect athletic performance.

And now she's transitioning both to athletic performance and health balance.

So it's really interesting to sort of get her perspective on where ketones fit into the whole picture of performance for an elite athlete and for an everyday athlete.

And then how that also may translate to health and longevity.

Now, in the beginning part, probably the first half of this interview, we spend a lot of time talking about sports and athletics and athletic performance.

So if that doesn't apply to you,

if you're not interested, fast forward halfway through and you'll pick up on some of more of the

health aspects. But it's great to get her perspective. She thinks from a scientific mind of evaluating

the evidence before making big claims, and I think that's a good take-home message for all of us.

But I think you'll get some takeaways here

about where ketones fit into this picture

and whether they're right for you.
