This high-fat, low-carb approach to eating has become extremely popular in recent years for helping with everything from weight loss to cognition.</p><p> </p><p>One cornerstone of the ketogenic diet is the idea that ketones are a powerful alternative fuel source for the human body. But as it turns out, ketones are not the magical fuel source they’ve been made out to be; in fact, the body cannot run on ketones and fats alone. Over the long term, a very low-carb diet can lead to muscle wasting and poor cognitive health.</p><p> </p><p>Today on <em>The Dhru Purohit Podcast</em>, Dhru talks with Dr. Steven Gundry about the new science about what actually makes a keto diet so successful: a cellular process known as “mitochondrial uncoupling.” Dr. Gundry shares why it's the key to reversing your age and living your best, healthiest life. </p><br><p><strong>In this episode, we dive into: </strong></p><p> </p><p>-Lifestyle factors that are contributing to metabolic inflexibility (3:48)</p><p>-Understanding the history of ketones and what we got wrong about using them as fuel (7:33)</p><p>-Mitochondrial uncoupling and how it impacts cellular aging (20:02)</p><p>-Brown fat and mitochondrial uncoupling (27:12)</p><p>-Why getting into ketosis is so difficult (29:04)</p><p>-Traps of a keto diet (44:51)</p><p>-The keys to mitochondrial uncoupling (1:05:44)</p><p>-Dairy and the connection to longevity (1:29:06)</p><p>-Traditional keto diet vs. Unlocking The Keto Code program (1:41:03)</p><p>-Two powerful mitochondrial uncouplers (1:44:26)</p><p> </p><p>Follow Dr. Gundry on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drstevengundry/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@drstevengundry</a>, and through his website, <a href="https://drgundry.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">drgundry.com</a>.
