We discuss the main concepts including the benefits and overlap between intermittent fasting/caloric restriction/ketones and the metabolic state of ketosis, how to balance getting optimal protein for muscle preservation during caloric restriction with a "PSMKD", how eating in an indefinite energy surplus can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction and how caloric restriction via intermittent fasting can enhance mitochondrial function, and much more!

Prior to beginning a new diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a new diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a new diet, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A new diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm Vanessa Spina. |
| 0:05.7 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the Optimal Protein Podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa Spina, |
| 0:11.4 | and I am so excited for today's episode. We are going to be talking about my thoughts and basically |
| 0:17.5 | a recap of the most recent episode with Dr. Dominic Degasino. |
| 0:21.8 | This was his third time on the podcast, second time most recently, as we did two recent episodes. |
| 0:29.0 | And we talked about some really important topics, including a protein sparing, modified ketogenic diet. |
| 0:36.6 | And what are the best ways in his opinion to really |
| 0:39.8 | optimize our overall health and we talked about the optimal amounts of protein to be eating |
| 0:46.6 | when you are in you know caloric restriction the differences and overlap in the |
| 0:53.4 | benefits between intermittent fasting, |
| 0:55.2 | caloric restriction, and ketosis and higher ketones, and a lot more. So I wanted to fully recap |
| 1:01.7 | the episode for you. Not everyone I know has the time to listen to a full almost two hour |
| 1:07.8 | long podcast. So I really enjoy recapping these episodes. I think it really helps |
| 1:13.4 | to anchor some of the core concepts. And these are very important concepts that Dr. Agassino |
| 1:19.0 | shared with us. He is such a brilliant scientist, such a kind, incredibly kind and humble human |
| 1:25.8 | being. I absolutely love all of my interactions with him because |
| 1:29.3 | he's just so down to earth, even though he has literally been on NASA missions with the Nemo |
| 1:37.7 | project. He's just, you know, a very kind person. But more importantly, he's sharing information that is critically important, |
| 1:45.9 | and he is on the leading edge of this science. And for him to take the time to come on and share |
| 1:54.2 | these concepts is so valuable. But I think it would be, you know, a missed opportunity to not |
| 2:00.7 | reflect on some of the vitally important |
| 2:03.7 | information that he shared. So I really enjoy doing these recaps. I love the feedback that I get |
