Episode #90 – The Science of Fasting & Nutritional Ketosis with Dr. Dominic D’agostino

In This Episode:

•  Newsflash! Ketosis has a superpower to alter your genetic makeup, affecting how your body adapts to viruses and other changes around you.
• Ketosis also critically impacts the give-and-take between your calming GABA and agitating glutamate for less anxiety.
• The jaw-dropping health benefits you can enjoy thanks to a new bank of cellular energy from ketones.
• Easy as 1, 2, 3 — the number of times you should go into a state of nutritional ketosis to most effectively transition from the old to the new you.
• How fasting braces you to combat various types of cancer, listed one by one.
• The vital steps a cancer patient must take before a fast if you are facing chemotherapy in your future.
• A high fat — yet extremely powerful — compound that kicks up ketones and lowers blood glucose.

The ketogenic diet has become a massive practice, all thanks to its evidence-based effects on weight loss. If you want to transition into a state of ketosis, Dr. Dominic D’agostino shares how fasting can help speed up the process. Dr. D’Agostino is an associate professor and a research scientist with a laboratory that is currently focused on developing and testing metabolic-based strategies for the treatment of seizure, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. 

In this episode, he discusses the relevance of nutritional ketosis and fasting that goes beyond weight loss. He reveals science-based facts on how fasting and ketosis are playing major roles in combating these neurodegenerative diseases and aiding in the treatment of cancer patients.

“It’s important to maintain a ketosis state because it’s really turning down many of the drivers of cancer growth.”
