Welcome back to The Optimal Protein Podcast! In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, a leading expert in metabolic health, ketones, and mitochondrial optimization. We dive deep into the science of ketones, the metabolic benefits of a high-protein ketogenic diet, and how to optimize your approach for fat loss, muscle preservation, and longevity. We also discuss biohacking mitochondrial optimization with red light therapy and methylene blue!
Dr. Sherr brings a wealth of knowledge on how ketones impact energy production, brain function, and overall metabolic health. We explore the synergy between ketones and a higher-protein intake, debunk common myths about keto, and discuss the latest research on how this approach can enhance fat adaptation, satiety, and performance.
In This Episode, We Cover:
- How ketones influence metabolism, brain function, and energy levels
- Endogenous (natural) and exogenous ketones
- Why a high-protein keto diet can optimize body composition and fat loss
- The role of ketones in muscle preservation and recovery
- Common keto mistakes and how to avoid them
- The connection between ketones, mitochondrial health and cellular repair
- Practical strategies for incorporating high-protein keto into your lifestyle including biohacking mitochondrial optimization with red light therapy and methylene blue!

| 0:05.5 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I am your host, Vanessa. And I am so excited for today's |
| 0:12.0 | episode. We have a brilliant guest with us today, Dr. Scott Sher. And we're talking about all of my |
| 0:17.8 | favorite topics in today's episode, specifically keto, ketones, what makes |
| 0:24.0 | them so amazing doing a high protein keto diet, how he recommends this and works with his |
| 0:31.1 | patients on this. We talk all about how being a fat burner is more fuel efficient, exactly how being ketone fueled or fat fueled |
| 0:41.5 | help support the mitochondria in great depth, as well as how if you eat more fat and protein, |
| 0:48.5 | you actually donate more electrons to complex two and complex three as opposed to complex one when you are eating a |
| 0:56.6 | high carb diet which is something I find absolutely fascinating and so many of my favorite topics |
| 1:02.7 | today including all the different biohacks that he likes we even talk about methylene blue which is |
| 1:08.2 | something that we've all been hearing a lot of buzz about, but he actually |
| 1:11.5 | breaks it down and shares how amazing it is and how people can actually try experimenting with it, |
| 1:18.7 | but exactly how it works, what it does to our mitochondria, and why it is so powerful as a biohack, |
| 1:25.2 | and we also talk about red light, how exactly red light therapy works and how |
| 1:29.2 | it supports our mitochondria as well. So so many of my favorite topics, ketones, intermittent fasting, |
| 1:36.0 | ketosis, higher protein approaches for improving body composition, biohacking, red light therapy, |
| 1:47.5 | and the mitochondria and improving mitochondrial health. |
| 1:49.9 | So really a wonderful conversation. |
| 1:51.7 | I know you're going to get a ton from it. |
| 1:58.6 | And I can't wait to hear anything that stood out for you or that was mind blowing on the episode for you. You can always share it in our podcast group for listeners, which is |
| 2:02.2 | called the optimal protein podcast on Facebook. So we will jump right into today's episode after this |
| 2:08.7 | quick break. Friends, it's a new year and I know many of you like myself are on a muscle and |
