Summary

Latt Mansor explores the multifaceted role of ketones, particularly their influence on brain health, fertility, memory, and focus. The re-release of an episode from 2023 delves into their impact on serotonin receptors, blood glucose regulation, and weight management. Mansor also highlights the potential therapeutic benefits of ketones for conditions such as sleep disturbances, infertility, depression, and Alzheimer's. If you want a balanced approach to health discussions, where scientific understanding encourages expanded knowledge and experience rather than limitations, this is the episode for you.

0:00.0	On this episode of the Resetter podcast, I bring you Dr. Lat mansor.
0:08.4	Now, a couple things to know about Dr. Lat and the conversation you're about to hear.
0:12.9	For starters, we're going to dive deep into the concept of a ketone.
0:20.0	So Dr. Lat holds a PhD in physiology, anatomy, and genetics from the University of Oxford.
0:26.8	So he is brilliant.
0:29.3	And he has really mastered the use of ketones when it comes to performance.
0:37.4	So I loved this conversation on so many levels because
0:42.1	A, it gave me some new insight into how we might look at ketones and its effect on all aspects of
0:52.0	our life, not just our health. But B, what Dr. Latt brings to us is what we call
0:58.4	an exogenous ketone. And an exogenous ketone means that you actually are not producing it
1:05.2	on the inside of your body, you're actually taking it from an outside source. Now, in full transparency, I want you to know that I have typically been against exogenous ketones.
1:17.3	But Dr. Latt, he has changed my opinion based off the science that he is bringing us.
1:24.3	So if you've been one of those people who have messaged me, have wondered about exogenous
1:29.9	ketones, where they fit in, this is the conversation for you. There were a couple of my big
1:36.5	takeaways on this, one of which is how we can use exogenous ketones in the fed state. So this isn't in the fasted state. How do we eat a meal
1:47.7	and then use an exogenous ketone to help stabilize blood sugar? That blew my mind. I also loved
1:57.7	how he looks at ketones for recovery from exercise. And then, as I said, how can we
2:04.6	lean into these exogenous ketones for just overall performance in our day-to-day activities?
2:11.6	So Dr. Latt completely changed my opinion of exogenous ketones and you're about to hear why. Plus, for all you
2:20.6	science nerds that want to know the research, Dr. Latt will bring it to you. So enjoy. This is
2:27.4	definitely a conversation that was needed, and I'm so excited that I got to have this with Dr. Latt because not only as you will see,
2:37.2	he's incredibly brilliant, but he also has a huge heart.
