Top 10 Daily Biohacks with Ben Greenfield

Dr. Jeff Volek is a registered dietitian and professor in the Department of Human Sciences at The Ohio State University. For the last two decades, he has performed cutting edge research on how humans adapt to ketogenic diets with a dual focus on clinical and performance applications of nutritional ketosis. His scholarly work includes more than 300 peer-reviewed scientific manuscripts and five books, and he has provided more than 200 lectures at scientific and industry conferences around the world. His team at Ohio State University is currently focused on breaking open new application related to nutritional ketosis. These studies are exploring the role of nutritional ketosis on cardio-metabolic status, ectopic fat accumulation in various tissues, tumor metabolism and health outcomes in various types of cancer, and human physical and cognitive capabilities in military personnel. Dr. Volek is the Chief Science Officer and Co-Founder of Virta Health, a specialty medical clinic that reverses type 2 diabetes safely and sustainably, without the risks, costs, or side effects of medications or surgery. Dr. Volek has a Bachelor of Science in dietetics from Michigan State University, and a Master of Science in exercise physiology and Doctorate in kinesiology and nutrition from Pennsylvania State University.

- Different methods of inducing ketosis including traditional ketogenic diets, exogenous ketones, and supplements

- The importance of understanding the nuances of the diet including the right range of protein and the quality of fat

- The prevalence of obesity and diabetes in the United States, a "serious out-of-control situation"

- Evidence supporting the use of ketogenic diets for weight loss, as demonstrated in several randomized clinical trials

- Ketogenic diets have anti-inflammatory effects and lead to improved biomarker responses related to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome

- The benefits of a ketogenic diet in relation to diabetes and cancer

- The use of a PET-CT scanner to measure tumor sizes and the effect of nutritional ketosis on cancer regression

Nutritional Ketosis with Dr. Jeff Volek

Dr. Daniel Stickler, co-founder of the Apeiron Center for Human Potential, discusses the potential therapeutic applications of peptides in human health and performance. Peptides are short chains of amino acids found in various sources and have a range of biological functions, including the regulation of hormones, influencing neurotransmitters, and modulating the immune system. They can also have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. Dr. Stickler explains how peptides can be targeted to specific tissues by selecting the segment with the desired key and emphasizes the importance of individualized treatment and brain mapping to optimize the effects of these peptides. The episode concludes with the host Teemu Arina offering some cautionary advice on using peptides.

The original presentation was filmed during Biohacker Summit Helsinki, Finland, in October 2019.
