One of the problems with weight loss
00:00:02
goals is saying you need to cut calories
00:00:04
in order to get there. Now, I'm not
00:00:06
saying calories don't matter. They are
00:00:07
relevant, but not the most relevant. And
00:00:09
I'm going to talk about evidence to
00:00:10
support that.
00:00:11
>> But if someone is listening at home now
00:00:12
and they have the goal of losing some
00:00:15
weight, they want to be in a better
00:00:16
physique, be more healthy. Is this
00:00:18
conversation going to help them
00:00:20
accomplish those goals?
00:00:21
>> I'll make sure that they get what they
00:00:22
need. And as a metabolic scientist, I
00:00:24
wouldn't want someone to think there is
00:00:26
only one way to lose weight. However, I
00:00:28
think this is the most practical and
00:00:30
simplest strategy, a ketogenic diet. A
00:00:33
huge reason is that when you cut carbs,
00:00:35
insulin comes down. And insulin as a
00:00:38
hormone is the one metabolic hormone to
00:00:40
rule them all. Insulin will tell every
00:00:42
single cell of the body what it needs to
00:00:45
do with energy. And insulin is so
00:00:46
determined to store energy that it is
00:00:48
directing calories to be stored in
00:00:50
tissues like fat or in the liver.
00:00:53
>> Make you fat.
00:00:53
>> Yeah. But there's more. Ketones are the
00:00:55
brain's preferred fuel. It can control
00:00:57
anxiety, improve depression, it can help
00:00:59
with attention. In fact, the benefits of
00:01:01
ketones are so extensive that companies
00:01:03
are finding ways so you can drink
00:01:05
ketones.
00:01:05
>> And I have a bunch of different
00:01:07
exogenous ketone products here. A
00:01:08
variety of different brands and a bunch
00:01:09
of other things here on the table. So,
00:01:11
what the hell is this?
00:01:12
>> If someone is interested in a good smart
00:01:13
way of losing weight, try that.
00:01:16
>> This is definitely a prop. It tastes
00:01:17
like bleach.
00:01:19
>> I'm so sorry. Oh my god. So for 2026 to
00:01:22
be the year where I finally get a grip
00:01:24
of my health and I asked you to make the
00:01:26
perfect plan, what would you prescribe?
