Christmas Episode Framing
- David Jockers shares that this episode was released on Christmas and greets listeners.
- He frames the episode as his top MCT oil hacks to stop cravings and burn fat.
C8 Is The Fastest Ketone Source
- C8 (caprylic acid) MCT is the fastest medium-chain fat to convert into ketones and cellular energy.
- It requires far fewer metabolic steps than glucose or long-chain fats, raising blood ketones quickly to fuel brain and mitochondria.
Different MCTs Behave Very Differently
- Not all MCTs are equal: C12 (lauric) is slower and needs more bile, while C8 is fastest.
- Coconut oil contains a mix of MCTs, but isolated C8 yields quicker ketone benefits than whole coconut oil.
