[00:40] How Michael Got Involved In The Biohacking Space When the keto diet started to take off, Michael wanted to figure out how ketones could be made. In 2017, Michael and his business partner launched their first ketone drink. Luckily, their first big customer was the United States Department of Defense. It’s important to know that drinking a ketone is not the same as doing a ketogenic diet. There’s a lot of research going on, and it’s an exciting time for ketones! [04:10] Why You May Benefit From A Ketogenic Lifestyle COVID highlighted the metabolic dysfunction that is going on in society. If you have a less metabolically healthy profile, you're more susceptible to COVID. There’s an even bigger pandemic than COVID; it’s metabolic health. 88% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy. All Americans can benefit from a ketogenic lifestyle because it can help improve their metabolic health. [07:20] What Makes H.V.M.N. Different From Other Companies A lot of brands are making great products that include exogenous ketones. H.V.M.N. does not include any seed oils. Their whole breakthrough was making a natural pure ketone that doesn't have salt. The ketones go directly to blood BHB and elevate your blood ketone levels. The Department of Defense was interested because they have been researching ketones since the early 2000s. H.V.M.N. has made the most effective ketone delivery mechanism. Overall, it works better than ketone salts. [15:35] Why You May Want To Avoid Exogenous Ketones If you have any liver issues, then avoid exogenous ketones. There are calories in ketones. Ketones will temporarily slow down your body’s rate of producing its own ketones from fat. So, if your goal is fasting with zero calories, you may want to avoid exogenous ketones. You want to use exogenous ketones in conjunction with other metabolically healthy exercises. You shouldn’t have exogenous ketones on top of a bad diet. [31:10] Some Biohacks To Try While Using Ketone-IQ Ketone-IQ™️ is a drinkable ketone designed to be taken daily to support mental clarity, athletic performance, and metabolic health. Check it out here: https://hvmn.com/?rfsn=6500737.21298f use the coupon code KETOKAMP for 10% off your entire order. Ketone-IQ can be a source of energy while doing a ketogenic lifestyle. If you are feeling sluggish, Ketone-IQ can help you immensely. Athletes are using Ketone-IQ to improve performance. [43:50] What To Know About C8, The Most Ketogenic MCT MCT means medium chain triglyceride. MCT fats are the most ketogenic; they can readily turn into ketones. C8 specifically can turn into ketones endogenously better than all the other MCTs. If you’re going to get any type of MCT out there, look for pure C8.
