On this episode of Mind Body Peak Performance, host Nick Urban dives into the fascinating world of exogenous ketones with Michael Brandt, CEO and co-founder of H.V.M.N. They explore the cutting-edge research and application of ketones for enhanced brain performance, optimizing athletic nutrition, and improving outcomes from traumatic brain injuries. Discover ketones as the 4th fuel of the body—and a key to unlocking peak mental and physical performance.
Meet our guestMichael Brandt explored ketones through fasting and endurance running. Recognizing their performance-enhancing potential, HVMN created a bioavailable ketone drink. In 2022, they launched it commercially, and it's now available in grocery stores and online. The U.S. Department of Defense saw the potential of ketones to support physical and mental stamina in soldiers and awarded HVMN a $6M grant to study their therapeutic effects.
