The Science Behind Keto with Drew Decker

Drew Decker is a graduate research assistant at Ohio State University, and on this episode, we dive into some of the science and research studies surrounding a ketogenic or low-carb diet. I have a lot of respect for Drew and the research he's doing, and I have no doubt you'll learn something from this episode. 


What we discussed:


  • Ketogenic diet and its effects on exercise performance, with a focus on a recent study comparing Clif Bars and our Keto Bricks (4:31)
  • Exogenous ketones for performance and cognitive function (12:02)
  • Nutrition and supplements for athletes, with a focus on military populations (16:43)
  • Ketogenic diet and muscle glycogen replenishment, with a focus on the importance of time and consistency (24:13)
  • Ketogenic diets and exogenous ketones for military personnel (32:02)
  • Keto and the potential benefits for mental health, including reducing depression symptoms (36:45)
