info_outlineWhat if I told you our metabolism is under attack?
88% of Americans are “metabolically unhealthy.”
75% of Americans are overweight or obese.
34% of Americans are pre-diabetic, and 9.4% are diabetic.
Metabolism, or the body’s process of converting food into energy, is vital to our health. A strong metabolism can help promote better sleep, control mood, manage weight, and improve energy levels. An unhealthy metabolism can have the opposite effect.
People who are metabolically unhealthy have less-than-ideal biomarkers, like blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels. Chronic diseases, such as diabetes or cardiovascular issues, are linked to poor metabolic health. These conditions are among the leading causes of death in the United States.
Luckily, there is hope. Enter Ketones.
Ketones are a natural source of fuel for your body. They are often created when your stored carbs are depleted, triggering your body to convert fat into ketones for fuel. Unlike fats, ketones can cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing ketones to fuel both the brain and the body.
Compared to other sources of energy like glucose or fat, ketones are a more efficient fuel that can produce more power while using less oxygen.
Ketone levels can be measured in a number of ways and are a key biomarker to assess metabolic health.
Ancient humans relied on ketones for fuel, not sugar. But due to modern diets and sedentary lifestyles, we often eat more carbs than we need and store the excess. This prevents our bodies from running on ketones, often leading to reduced energy levels, unwanted weight gain, and chronic metabolic diseases.
My guest today believes that the best version of yourself starts with good metabolic health—and ketones are the answer. Michael Brandt is the Co-founder of H.V.M.N., who makes the shot, Ketone IQ, a little shot of ketones you can take on a daily basis.
The advantages of taking ketones include sustained energy, mental clarity, endurance and recovery, weight management, metabolic health, longevity, and more.
