For more than 10 years, I have been looking at ketones and mitochondria, and it's very clear that ketones can give your mitochondria superpowers.

In fact, I've written about it in a couple of my books. It's in the bulletproof diet. It's in fast this way, and actually the other ones too.

You don't always have to be in ketosis, but when you turn on your ketones, especially at high levels for brief periods, magic can happen.

We're talking better energy, better focus, better endurance, even better hydration.

I've been working with a company called Health via Modern Nutrition, or HVMN, that created ketone IQ, a daily ketone supplement drink.

Does any sugar or stimulants, it's just clean energy for better physical and cognitive performance?

I feel the difference if I'm meditating, if I'm doing neurofeedback, if I'm working out, or just what I need extra energy to do something really intense.

Bootproof radio, a state of high performance.

The carnivore diet has been all the rage lately, so I've got something special for you today. You've been asking for experts who can talk to food that's more in line with the way we evolved as humans.

One of my friends, and a popular guest is Dr. Paul Saladino, who I occasionally call James, for reasons I cannot explain.

If I call him James Saladino on social media, I'm just messing with him. He's an extensive research, and he can talk about what happens when you eat meat nearly exclusively.

I did not have good experience when I tried this when I was stressed testing the edges of the bulletproof diet years ago. I did get leaky gut from doing it, but I've had many friends, including Steve O'Mohundra, who was an early guest on the show, a global researcher in AI, who cured his almost uncurable cancer and his blood doing carnivore.

There's something magic happening here, and who should do it for how long and how much? We're still freaking that out, but this is going to be really cool.

What Paul shares is benefits of reversing autoimmune issues, decreasing chronic inflammation, and making mental health better, 100%.

You cut out all the crap, including crap from mother nature and vegetables like kale, and you tend to get better.

All you need to know is that you should minimize and you die as much as you can. Also, in the early days of the bulletproof radio, I interviewed an nutrition specialist and researcher who is one of the mothers of the paleo diet, Nora Gagaudis.

I interviewed her again later in the show, so I put together the best of both of those interviews here for you so you get the distilled knowledge of one of the masters in our field. She connects the dots of evolutionary physiology, biochemistry, metabolism, and nutrition, and tells you how they're tied to chronic and degenerative disease.

And as you all know, if you want to join me in living to at least 180, maybe not dying of degenerative disease should be high on your list if you're on a live long time. Just saying.

Nora is interesting because she got frustrated with the keto and paleo movements that she was a champion of and developed her own plan that made more sense to her, and she has some choice words about carbs.

You'll get a lot out of these conversations with Paul and Nora and let me know you think through the podcast feedback form you go to Dave Asprey.com slash podcast. There's a form there and you can tell me Dave talk more about this. I want to hear more about this other topic or suggest an expert. I am listening to what you say in the reviews.

What you tell me on Instagram and Facebook and now even on telegram Dave Asprey official T dot me slash Dave Asprey official is my telegram page and what you'll find is I'm sharing a little bit more openly on telegram because it's uncensored and I'm doing my best to stay on Instagram and things like that.
