#05 - Dom D’Agostino, Ph.D.: ketosis, n=1, exogenous ketones, HBOT, seizures, and cancer

Original release date: 7/16/2018 In this episode, Dom D’Agostino, one of the smartest people on all things related to ketones, digs deep into the research and application of these molecules. We discuss ketone esters, diesters and monoesters, racemic ketones, medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), C8 (caprylic acid) on the exogenous ketone (EK) side of things. We also cover a lot of Dom’s fascinating work with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Dom also discusses the strategy and tactics of the metabolic management of cancer, which includes, but is certainly not limited to, a ketogenic diet (KD). Cancer is covered throughout this episode, but if there’s one section to listen to, skip ahead to the 2-hour mark and listen to what Dom has to say about the Press-Pulse approach.

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Peter Attia MD, featuring Peter Attia and Dom D’Agostino, #05 - Dom D’Agostino, Ph.D.: ketosis, n=1, exogenous ketones, HBOT, seizures, and cancer explores dom D'Agostino explains ketosis, exogenous ketones, hyperbaric oxygen, seizures and cancer metabolism D'Agostino describes how building a hyperbaric microscope for Navy-funded oxygen toxicity seizure research led him to see cancer cells die under hyperbaric oxygen and to notice that beta-hydroxybutyrate slowed their growth in culture.
