Summary

Carl and Richard discuss Ketones. What are they? How are they produced? Are they safe? How can we effectively measure our ketone levels? Does it actually matter? All of these questions and more are answered on this episode of 2 Keto Dudes. Errata: We said we'd talk about consuming ketones but we never did. There is evidence that the mere presence of ketones in the blood stream is beneficial for controlling some kinds of cancer (listen to the cancer show from last week) however, taking ketones isn't a short cut to ketosis. It's like instead of going for a run you just cover yourself with sweat. The process of burning fat and creating ketones is where the magic happens. Carl mentioned that mitochondria are organelles in _every_ cell in the body. But there are some cells like red blood cells that lack a mitochondria - which is why they can only ferment glucose for energy and are unable to use fat for energy. Richard said that the Romans discovered that fasting cures epilepsy, but apparently a Greek doctor in the roman empire name Galen of Pergamon was just the first to write down that the Greeks had originally discovered the link noting thati n the book "Epidemics," Hippocrates describes the case of a man whose epilepsy was cured with drastic diet and fasting. Erasistratus, a Greek anatomist and royal physician under Seleucus I Nicator of Syria stated, "One inclining to epilepsy should be made to fast without mercy and be put on short rations."

0:00.0	Hey, Kito freaks. This is Carl. Do you or someone you know have trouble focusing?
0:19.0	You know what I'm talking about. You sit down to read something, try to figure out your monthly budget,
0:25.1	write that novel you've been putting off, or maybe you just can't seem to do one task at a time.
0:30.5	Well, you may not know this, but I'm a musician, as well as a software developer.
0:36.6	Programming is a job that requires focus, long periods of uninterrupted work.
0:41.9	It's hard. For them and for you. I've created music to
0:46.4	code by. This is music, yes, but it's specifically and scientifically designed
0:52.0	to promote focus.
0:54.0	Studies show that when math students were exposed to Baroque music between 60 and 80 beats per minute,
0:59.0	they did better with comprehension and testing.
1:02.0	So I created more modern music that is neither boring nor distracting, but falls within that
1:07.8	tempo range.
1:09.5	It's just the right mix.
1:11.0	I also made the pieces 25 minutes long. That correlates to research that shows we all
1:16.4	get brain fatigue after 20 or so minutes of hard focus. The result is
1:21.4	thousands of happy customers.
1:23.0	Now, you don't have to be a programmer to reap the benefits of music to code by.
1:28.0	It has been known to soothe restless pets, calm fussy babies,
1:32.0	and even help autistic kids relax and fall asleep.
1:37.0	Listen to some free samples at music tocodeby.net. dot net. Oh, Welcome back to two kido dudes. I'm Carl Franklin from Connecticut in the United States and in February of 2016 just this year
