Episode notes
Train Breathing To Improve Recovery
- Build CO2 tolerance before surgery via nasal breathing, breathwork, or pool-based hypercapnic training.
- Use nasal strips or intranasal stents and avoid mouth breathing to improve anesthesia resilience.
Surgeon's Personal Preop Routine
- Cameron fasts 48 hours before surgery and re-feeds with sardines and olive oil to stay in ketosis.
- He uses exogenous ketones (KetoStart) preoperatively even when not keto-adapted.
Use Ketones For Neuroprotection
- Use exogenous ketones preoperatively to stabilize brain metabolism even if you're not keto-adapted.
- Encourage metabolic flexibility before surgery so the body can use ketones when needed.
