Episode notes
Speaker 2
Yeah, I mean, everything would indicate movement in our previous environments. This is like sleeping on hard surfaces or having furniture that's not super comfortable. Like we basically just invented super comfortable furniture for the first time, really. Otherwise, you're sitting somewhere and you have to move around because it gets uncomfortable.
Speaker 1
Yeah, the the age of convenience. Yeah, my wife and I will sit at our dinner table and we just sit on the floor and we have this little table. And so like, we constantly have to be shifting and moving. And it's like, that's kind of the game here is like, you know, keep moving.
Speaker 2
Yeah, for sure. Today's podcast episode is made possible by the support of our sponsor, HVNN. HVNN makes a product that I am absolutely obsessed with lately. It's called ketone IQ. If anybody's been following my work for a long time knows that I have been really into a ketogenic diet for a long period of time, a big proponent of it. I am not a zealot about it. I don't think everybody needs to be in a ketogenic state all time for the rest of their lives. But I think it's a tremendous tool. And I'm always a big fan of being able to find ways to get the benefits of a tool without having to jump through a lot of hoops that otherwise discourage people from doing the actual thing. So this is where their product ketone IQ comes in very handy. It is totally not a ketone in the sense that it's R13 butane dial actually had their head of science latin and sore on the podcast. You guys want to check out that episode where we talk all about the science of how our one three butane dial actually increases ketones. But what I find to be a huge benefit from their product versus say the perfect keto ketone salts that we may, which I still think are tremendous product, I have them in my pre-workout. And I also take them whenever I want appetite suppression, which is a really good tool for that. But though ketone IQ, I find to be unparalleled for boosting my mental clarity. So I take it especially in the morning when I need to do a deep work session and when I'm really working on a heart problem and especially before I do podcasts. And this is something that I have never really experienced other than being in a very, very deep state of ketosis, meaning almost no carbs and probably fasting for a couple days. And I don't know exactly what the mechanism is and lat, I'm sure it could walk circles around me and talking about why this is and why ketone IQ works so well for the brain. But I feel literally like my brain is on fire in the best way possible when I'm taking ketone IQ. And the team at HVMN is doing such amazing stuff using this product with both professional athletes, but also special forces of the US military to figure out how exactly this is working and really figuring out the dosing and what's been best for the really the people who are on the front lines, both needing maximal performance and what their finding is incredible. So if you're interested in that tune in the podcast with Batman's or otherwise, if you want to try out ketone IQ, give it a shot. I actually think the taste is pretty good. Some people think that it's a little extreme, but I like it. I like things extreme. So they have a full bottle which you can take shots out of, which is what I generally do. But also what has really excited me is that I had to take that and put it in little eyedroppers before when I would travel, especially if I'm traveling and doing podcasts, getting off my routine really sucks. And so I love having the extra boost to make sure that I am sharp or for meetings, things like that. And they now have travel packets. So I do not have to smuggle my ketone IQ across TSA checkpoints anymore. And I drive her bottles. I can pack their one time single serving use containers with me and it's amazing. So if you guys want to try out ketone IQ, head to h v m n dot m e slash a g that's h v m n dot m e slash a g or just go to the website h v m n Google Google ketone IQ and use code ag 10 for 10 percent off. That's ag 10 for 10 percent off. And I hope you guys try it out, suit you feel again, play around this stuff. The actual esters, the salts ketone IQ, see what makes you feel best. I don't do a lot of ketogenic diet stuff extreme anymore. And so it's nice to be able to get the benefits without having to really limit myself so much in terms of carbohydrates and food. So try them out. Hope you guys enjoy and use code ag 10 h v m n. So another one that you mentioned was grounding. And so can we, this is another thing that I think is fully loaded just like water and just run around. So would love your take on it.
