Welcome to the optimal protein podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina.

Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the optimal protein podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa Spina,

0:10.6

and I am so excited to be here with you today. We're going to be continuing our discussion

0:15.8

on the optimal way to do keto with higher protein, lower fat, higher fat, lower protein, depending on what

0:23.5

your goals are and how to proceed if you want to try out a higher fat, lower protein protocol

0:30.3

in order to get higher ketones and get some of the benefits from that.

fasting, doing resistance training, and getting lots of

1:46.0

autophagy, and all the science behind mitochondrial biogenesis or the creation of new mitochondria.

1:51.7

But one of the best ways to actually support our mitochondria is using red light therapy.
