Is it better to produce ketones naturally or take supplements? In Episode 7 of Potential Within, host Franco Cavaleri, B.Sc., Ph.D.c., explores the ketogenic diet and exogenous ketone supplementation, diving deep into their roles in energy production, metabolism, and overall health. This episode tackles the ongoing debate between achieving ketosis naturally through dietary means or using supplements for a faster ketone boost.

Franco breaks down the science behind ketogenesis, ketosis, and the body's metabolic shift when carbohydrates are scarce. He also examines the benefits and potential downsides of exogenous ketones, including their impact on insulin resistance, cognitive function, and athletic performance.

Key Takeaways:

• Exogenous Ketones: Learn how beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) supplements provide an immediate energy source and how they can help manage hunger and improve mental clarity.
• Brain Health & Cognitive Benefits: Discover how ketones can bypass insulin resistance in the brain (often referred to as type 3 diabetes), offering hope for those with cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's.
• Athletic Performance: Find out how exogenous ketones enhance endurance and reduce oxidative stress during high-intensity exercise without increasing oxygen consumption.
• Balancing Risks & Benefits: Franco highlights the potential drawbacks, including the feedback mechanism that can inhibit natural ketone production when using supplements and the importance of medical supervision for individuals with type 1 diabetes.
