Summary
In this high-energy episode of Beauty Bytes, I sit down with Dr. Latt Mansor, a world expert in physiology and metabolism with a PhD from the University of Oxford. We dive deep into the science of ketones—the body's natural "super fuel"—and why you don't need to be on a strict keto diet to reap the benefits.
I actually take a shot of Ketone-IQ during the episode, and you can hear me get into the "zone" in real-time! . Dr. Mansor explains how exogenous ketones can banish brain fog without the caffeine jitters, suppress appetite by regulating ghrelin and leptin, and even positively influence our epigenetics and gene expression. We also bust common myths about ketoacidosis and discuss why walking might be the most underrated biohack for breaking through fat loss plateaus .
