The Fit2Fat2Fit Experience EP234: The Ketosis Friendly Superstarch with Peter Kaufman
Great strides forward are being made in the fitness, health, and wellness space every year. In labs, rigorous testing can be applied to food/fuel sources to qualify how they affect the body in its different states of exertion. UCAN’s founders were looking for a cure for a rare genetic disease when they discovered a process of cooking a starch that led to long-lasting energy. While they didn’t find a cure for the disease, they were able to create a Superstarch that offered the afflicted with a better quality of life. And, as an incredible secondary benefit, the manipulated starch offers athletes long-lasting energy that is keto-friendly. During this episode, Drew speaks with one of the founders of UCAN, Peter Kaufman about how the team discovered the starch, how it improves workouts, and why it is a perfect addition to a keto diet.
