Ketogenic Diet and Muscle Metabolism
The ketogenic diet significantly alters metabolic physiology, and this underlies the therapeutic effects of the diet on seizure control, glycemic management and weight loss. There are a variety of metabolic and signaling mechanisms associated with ketosis that are reported in the scientific...
Should you exercise on an empty stomach? Part 2
In our previous blog (part 1), we introduced the concept of fasted exercise, which is essentially just exercising before having eaten anything following an overnight fast, or skipping breakfast entirely. In that blog, we covered how exercising in the fasted state may influence body weight and...

Ketones are produced by the liver under conditions of low glucose availability for extended periods of time, such as a prolonged fast (24-hours+) or days on a very low carbohydrate ketogenic diet. An elevation of ketone bodies is what defines ketosis. In ketosis we are producing three different...
Untangling LDL-C Elevation in Lean Mass Hyper Responders (LMHR) on a Ketogenic Diet
A series of papers published in the journals Current Developments in Nutrition, Frontiers in Endocrinology, and Metabolites are beginning to shed light on a ketogenic diet-induced alteration in cardio-metabolic biomarkers that has come to be known as Lean Mass Hyper Responders (LMHR). LMHR are...
HIIT: Science and Application
Muscle health is critical for metabolic health, and nothing improves and protects muscle health quite like exercise. Despite the overwhelming health benefits of exercise, it is clear that adults have a very difficult time adhering to regular physical activity. Unfortunately, the pandemic made...
