Diving into the science with Dr. Latt Mansor of Ketone IQ
In this episode we dive into the amazing world of ketones—what they are, how they work in the body, and the powerful effects they have on brain health and energy. Dr. Latt breaks down how ketones serve as the brain’s preferred fuel source, helping with focus, mental clarity, and even helping with sleep apnea. He also shares how ketones influence appetite regulation and the hormone system responsible for hunger, making them an incredible tool for those looking to manage cravings and avoid the pitfalls of fad diets.
Dr. Latt also shares how we can avoid sarcopenia—or the loss of muscle mass—as we get older, explaining how ketones can help preserve muscle and support overall physical health. Beyond the science, we also discuss his personal practices for maintaining mental peace, including meditation and staying present. This episode is packed with practical insights on how to fuel both your brain and body!
