Welcome back to the Diet Doctor podcast.

I'm your host, Dr. Brett Scher.

Now, I don't say this often, but this is probably my least favorite interview ever.

And it's with Dom DiAgostino. So how is that possible?

Because we were on a time constraint.

Here we are at the Metabolic Health Summit and he had to run downstairs to give his talk.

We got started a little late. And I think he is one of the most interesting people in science.

I want to have a two or three hour interview with him, but we had to cut it short. But we

touched on some really interesting topics about the work he's doing with ketogenic diets and

exogenous ketones on brain function, how his work in extreme environments can translate

to kind of regular disease processes that aren't in extreme environments

that people get and we need some better treatments for

and how ketones can play a role in the specifics of the types of diet,

the specific types of exogenous ketones, some of the protein sparing effects

of ketones.

So we brush the surface and talk about some of these topics but my hope is we're going

to have them back for even more interviews in the future.

But hopefully this will be a great introduction for you to Dr. Dom DiAgostino all the amazing

work he's doing and get a little sense of the personality because he's really a great guy and I hope to hear more for him. All right, let's get started with the

interview with Dr. Dom de Agostino.

Dr. Dom, thanks so much for joining us.

Thanks for having me.
