The Signalling Effects of Beta Hydroxy Buterate

It's been exactly a hundred years since the ketogenic diet was developed, and yet we are still discovering its many benefits, including its positive effects on the epigenome. How fascinating is that? In this episode of New Frontiers, I’m thrilled to have renowned nutrigenomics researcher and fellow epigenetics aficionado Dr. Lucia Aronica interview one of the world's top experts on the ketogenic diet - Dominic D’Agostino. Dom is also a neuroscientist, accomplished researcher, and associate professor of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of Florida. In this episode, Dr. Aronica and Dr. D’Agostino discuss the therapeutic uses of the keto diet, including emerging applications in type 2 diabetes, anxiety, and anorexia, the neuroprotective and epigenetic regulatory effects of ketones, and why more is not necessarily better. It is an episode packed with the latest research and clinical pearls from these two experts – you wouldn’t want to miss it!
