Hey there, it's episode 392 of the keto diet podcast. My name is Leanne Vogel. I'm a holistic nutritionist functional blood chemistry specialist and a whole bunch of other things. Oh my goodness, I'm a busy lady.

So I wanted to share today's episode with you guys because we've been getting quite a few questions about exogenous ketones, how to take them, when they're good, when they're not.

I've been sharing about my exogenous ketone process in my personal health journey. Now, I found exogenous ketones. Well, there was a company. They were an MLM. Why can't I think of the name of them? They sent me their product of exogenous ketones way back in like 2014.

They tasted horrible. They used like caffeine instead of good quality ketones. Why can't I think the name of this company?

Maybe you know of it. If you were keto back in the day, I think they're still making products but they use artificial sweeteners and I don't know. I talked to some of the people on their team and I was like, so I kind of just put exogenous ketones on the shelf.

And I remember I was at I think a Dallas book signing back in 2017 and a lady was saying how much she loved perfect keto exogenous ketones and how great they were and how much they'd helped her.

And she was talking a lot about how she couldn't necessarily eat keto because it was just too challenging for her right off the gate. So she started with exogenous ketones and that encouraged her to keep trying at the ketogenic diet.

And so we were all having a conversation that was probably, I don't know, like 50-ish people there and we were all talking about it and all these women sharing their experiences and I was like, okay, I need to try this stuff.

So that was quite a while ago. Lots has changed with perfect keto and what I really love is their exogenous ketones. They have a whole bunch of other stuff but I continue to personally use exogenous ketones.

I especially especially use them and I talk about this in my episodes on my personal health journey. We actually have one coming out episode 394 where I talk about how I used exogenous ketones and why and what I believe was going on with my health fence.

So definitely tune into that in a couple of weeks but I still use them if I need my brain to be totally on point.

Like if I have a bunch of recordings that day and sessions with clients and you know meetings with my coaching team where you know we have practitioners now on the health pursuit coaching team taking clients and there's just a lot going on and things are totally crazy.

I will start my day with exogenous ketones and so I wanted to kind of just share some details about how to use them, when to use them, why they're important.

I think now you know a lot of my thoughts have changed on exogenous ketones obviously from 2017 to current.

I think even if you're not eating a strict ketogenic diet, if you need your brain to be lit up, I really see these exogenous ketones as really filling that gap.

So I'm really excited to share them with you. If you decide to give exogenous ketones a try, my personal favorite are from Perfect Keto.
