15. Brown Fat Accumulation & the "Magic" of Keto | Dr. Benjamin Bikman Ketogeek's Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
Ketones are a great side effect of lowering insulin through a Ketogenic diet. As more research is coming out, the state of nutritional ketosis is fascinating as it opens up unique pathways and prioritization of certain interesting processes in the body. In this episode, we delve into the science of that!
Bio: Benjamin Bikman earned his Ph.D. in Bioenergetics and was a postdoctoral fellow with the Duke-National University of Singapore in metabolic disorders. Currently, his professional focus as a scientist and professor (Brigham Young University) is to better understand chronic modern-day diseases, with special emphasis on the origins and consequences of obesity and diabetes. He frequently publishes his research in peer-reviewed journals and presents at international science meetings.
