Dr. Steven Gundry is with Tom explaining why he and the rest of the medical community got ketosis all wrong. He shares why mitochondrial uncoupling is really the star and this is what you need to know to make your dieting experience easier and more effortless. No need to live completely devoid of carbohydrates on a keto diet any longer.

QUOTES:
“50 percent of normal weight individuals have no metabolic flexibility.” [13:03]
“At full ketosis, human beings can only meet 30% of their calorie needs by burning ketones. The rest have to come from free fatty acids and glucose.” [19:09]
“Ketones are not a super fuel, they are actually a signaling molecule that tells mitochondria to protect themselves at all cost from damage” [20:15]
“In a ketogenic diet, if you do it right and uncouple your mitochondria, you waste fuel. You feed six dogs instead of one, and that's where the benefit of ketosis comes from.” [30:21]
“You want to cycle in and out of ketosis on a 24 hour basis.” [49:37]
“It's the cycling in and out of getting the benefits of ketosis. Without full ketosis, that makes all the difference.” [56:29]

| 1:34.6 | And unlocking the keto code is really intriguing and I'm super grateful that I'm going to get to |
| 1:41.1 | drill down in some of these. So keto changed my life. So I used to struggle profoundly with inflammation. |

| 1:52.9 | to inflammation to all of it. And in the book, you make it very clear that we don't understand |
| 1:58.4 | some fundamental things about ketosis and ketones. And so let's start with what don't we understand? |
| 2:06.5 | Well, I guess the best place to start is what we thought we understood about ketones. |
