Summary

I'm constantly asked about nutrition, more specifically about the ketogenic diet, as a potential solution for fat loss, muscle growth and a host of various illness and ailments. That's why this interview is so timely.

Dr. Dominic D'Agostino joins me on the podcast today. We cover all things keto, from longevity protocols to integrative cancer treatment, and a number of interventions for high-performing humans who are consistently looking to optimize their health.

As an Associate Professor with tenure at the University of South Florida, Dr. D'Agostino teaches with a focus on such topics as neuropharmacology, medical biochemistry, physiology, and neuroscience.  He is also a Research Scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) to assist with their efforts toward optimizing the safety, health and resilience of the warfighter and astronaut.

Dr. D'Agostino's laboratory develops and tests metabolic-based strategies for targeting CNS oxygen toxicity (seizures), epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer.  The main focus of his lab over the last 10 years has been understanding the anticonvulsant and neuroprotective mechanism of the ketogenic diet and ketone metabolite supplementation.

You'll learn:

  • The GREATEST formula to build mitochondrial resiliency, and combat oxidative stress.
  • The #1 solution for improved energy and longevity.
  • The BEST adjustable ketogenic meal plan, including the KEY vitamins & minerals for a low-carb diet.
  • The BIG difference between ketone salts and ketone ester supplements (hint: it's all about insulin).
  • How a modified ketogenic diet can work in tandem with cancer treatment.

Plus... we compiled the key points from this episode into a FREE guide for you - head to muscleintelligence.com/learn to grab yours!

getting the level of glucose down, bringing the level of ketones up to where the

0:05.3

millimolar concentration in the blood is about equal.

0:08.6

And we call that a glucose ketone index of one.

And the standard American diet has favors glucose to where it's like 25 to one.

A clinical ketogenic diet is like maybe four to one, a modified ketogenic diet that I'm talking about that's really engineered for optimal therapeutic efficacy produces a glucose ketone index of about one.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the muscle intelligence podcast.

I am her host, Ben Bikolsky.

As always, bringing you the world's brightest guests to ultimately solve this longevity

challenge, help you live your greatest life in a body that you absolutely love.

0:53.6

You know, my great passion in

life has always been muscle building and movement. And in order for us to move effectively,

people don't always think of all the potential influences on how well we move, how well we think,

1:06.4

and ultimately how well we perform. Today's guest is pushing the envelope of human performance, not only from

1:12.8

the physical perspective, but from a mental perspective. He resides in Tampa, Florida, a neighbor

of mine, and an incredibly brilliant human. He's doing work with NASA on how to really push the

performance of the human system, period.

1:28.2

We dive today into mitochondrial health, the two most important interventions for high performance.

1:33.7

You want to optimize health on a daily basis.

1:36.2

We talk a little bit about metformin and its impact on mitochondrial health.

1:40.3

We talk about ketones, and you may recognize this man's name as being the most famous name in the world of kienogenic dieting.

1:47.6

Dr. Dominic Degistino joins me today to discuss at length the use of ketones and its implication on performance,

as well as Dom's research into how to target cancer and ultimately environmental and psychological influences
