This video features a conversation with Dr. Dom D'Agostino, an associate professor at the University of South Florida in Tampa and all around expert on ketosis.

In this conversation, we discuss SO MUCH, including...

• Dom's efforts at teasing out the differences between induced nutritional ketosis (through a low carbohydrate, high fat diet) and ketosis from the dietary introduction of exogenous ketones, like beta-hydroxybutyrate, especially in the context of therapeutic and performance enhancing effects.

• His work on formulating ketone esters.

• The differences in tolerability between MCT (medium chain triglycerides) powders versus liquids, as well as the amount of supplemental MCT a person would need to consume in order to achieve mild ketosis without carbohydrate restriction.

• The differences between different types of ketogenic diets.

• The modified atkins diet which has been demonstrated to have similar efficacy to the classical ketogenic diet in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy and how it may be a slightly more practical option for achieving therapeutic nutritional ketosis.

• The importance of making the correct carbohydrate choices, even and maybe especially in the context of a ketogenic diet, with a diverse variety of raw vegetables being the most favorable.

• What keto adaptation is and what it means, at a physiological level, to be keto adapted and how this is distinguished from short periods of ketosis we experience in our day-to-day lives.

• How ketones, when used as a source of energy, may result in a net reduction in the number of damaging reactive byproducts known as reactive oxygen species than what may be produced by other forms of energy metabolism while also producing more ATP from, proportionately, the same amount of oxygen. ... AND SO MUCH MORE.

  • Thanks for this! My life has been transformed by this sort of information. I am turning 65 and for the past 2 years I have combined LOW CARB (Keto) with Intermittent Fasting, lost 82 lbs., came off ALL MEDICATIONS (2 for hypertension, one for high cholesterol and gave up my CPAP for sleep apnea). I am Loving life! I started my own YouTube channel “Bill C Thompson - Live Healthy, Finish Strong
  • @theramseyclark
    Dom is such a nice well-mannered guy. He's also leading the frontier!
  • @archivemail7710
    Nice intended helpfulness of the show. He is such a careful listener and patient diplomatic responder. He clearly is a humble guy.
  • @NomenNescio99
    The intellectual honesty both of you display when you clearly state what you don't know, the way you separate speculation from facts and perhaps most of all - the curiosity to learn more - which is clearly visible in the interview are all things that I find very admirable and respectable. Thank you for a very interesting video.
  • @zamplify
    I love the footnotes. They make this super high-level conversation accessible. Thanks, Rhonda!
  • @EddieStriked
    THANKS for all the hard work Rhonda. There's a lot of crap podcasts out there today but yours truly stands out.
  • @ultimatebjj
    Revisited this amazing interview from 5 years ago. Very interesting, especially in light of the fact that Rhonda has recently (2021) adopted the Ketogenic lifestyle. Would love to see them do another interview.
  • I am a keto athlete bodybuilder 51 years old two time national’s qualified competitor in two different divisions this diet has been revolutionary in my success in bodybuilding
  • @justpete4225
    I cycle ketosis, 4 eggs low fried swimming in coconut oil breakfast and filter coffee with butter (grass fed) and mct oil, then intermittent fasting during the day, then lots of high fibre veggies, lots of broccoli covered in more grass fed butter, and grass fed beef and some fruit in the evenings. So far, 2 months on, my eyesight has improved to the point where I no longer need my glasses to use the PC at work (i've been there 8 years and needed glasses the whole time!), and my fingernails look 100% better and I have tons of energy and sleep like a baby! Its all good! I went out for a jog after the first month (my first jog in 7 months), fueled only by the breakfast above and ran 6.5 miles, the longest I've run in training since my 20's ....20 years ago. Research it then Try it people!
  • @mrclean2022
    Pretty sure I had a nerdgasm seeing these two have a conversation. I love and respect both of these brilliant individuals! Very nice touch on the captions too! Thanks for sharing :D
  • I love your interviews Rhonda. So amazing, and life changing to get details of info like this, especially for people that are interested in these subjects and have done research, and their own experimentation, this fills in pieces of the puzzle every time you have an interview.
  • @aone6535
    I love the added notes and definitions during the videos! So useful!
  • @qianning3940
    Rhonda, I like your podcast, it is very informative, especially you gives some important concepts in writing which differentiate yours from others, I can pause the video and read them. This has helped me tremendously in understanding the key points. Thank you!
  • @CinemaTeacher
    I understand about 1 millimolar of what they're talking about. Ha!
  • @Jason-bg7jc
    I love hearing Dom speak because his vocabulary is like 10 levels above mine. Getting you two together is like exploding my mind.
  • @dauphinviennois
    This is one of the most comprehensive talks, it included everything I was interested, without even expecting it. Congratulations! 👏🏻
  • @anjabrox8499
    Thank you so much for the written explanation during the interview, that is so valuable!
  • @22mononoke
    Absolutely loved this! Thank you for posting
  • I love listening to these videos. Its a privilege to take in the knowledge of competent scientists / Doctors.
