THE POWER OF EXOGENOUS KETONES LEARN THEIR PROVEN BENEFITS TO LOSE WEIGHT AND IMPROVE YOUR PHYSICAL / MENTAL STATE ABOUT THIS BOOK The benefits of the ketogenic diet, which was originally created as a therapy for epilepsy, are attributed in part to the qualities of ketones, which are produced by the liver when we adopt a low-carbohydrate diet or when we go into fasting. Despite the benefits, some people may find this diet too restrictive, as carbohydrates can only account for 5% of daily calorie intake. In addition, this type of diet does not promote optimal performance for physical activity, which can irritate athletes and sportsmen. Fortunately, there is a solution: exogenous ketone supplements are an excellent way to get the benefits of ketones without following a ketogenic diet or fasting. This is more of a way of life than an eating plan, as it is becoming increasingly popular among those who want to improve their metabolic health, lose weight and increase their productivity.

The Nutrition and Health series of books has an overriding mission to provide health professionals with texts that are considered essential because each includes: (1) a synthe sis of the state of the science, (2) timely, in -depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields, (3) extensive, up-to-date, fully annotated reference lists, (4) a detailed index, (5) relevant tables and figures, (6) identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences, (7) suggestions of areas for future research, and (8) balanced, data driven answers to patient /health professionals questions that are based upon the totality of evidence rather than the findings of any single study. The series volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective, both in subject matter as well as in the choice of chapter authors. The international perspective, especially with regard to public health initiatives, is emphasized where appropriate. The editors, whose trainings are both research- and practice-oriented, have the opportunity to develop a primary objective for their book; define the scope and focus, and then invite the leading authorities from around the world to be part oftheir initiative. The authors are encouraged to provide an overview of the field, discuss their own research, and relate the research findings to potential human health consequences.

Exogenous ketones are a supplemental form of ketone bodies that rapidly alter metabolism, providing extrahepatic tissues with an alternate fuel source, and can affect blood gases and pH balance. This thesis investigated whether consumption of exogenous ketone supplements (EKS) can be applied as a countermeasure to hypoxic exposure by mitigating the decline in oxygen saturation and cognitive performance as hypoxic exposure has shown to decrease both physical and cognitive performance. Study 1: Investigated the effects of various forms of EKS on metabolism, blood gases, respiration, heart rate variability, hemodynamics, and cognitive performance in healthy male and female populations at rest. Findings include rapid effects on metabolism, blood gases, pH, and no effect on cognitive performance. Study 2: Investigated the application of a ketone monoester (KME) as a potential countermeasure for oxygen saturation and cognitive declines during severe hypoxic exposure (6096 m, 9.7%O2 for 20 min) in healthy male participants at rest. Findings included enhanced resiliency to the declines in oxygen saturation and cognitive performance after KME ingestion. Study 3: A follow-up investigation to the prior study evaluated a lower dose of KME and a different domain of cognitive performance (vigilance/attention) during severe hypoxic exposure (6096 m, 9.7%O2 for 15 min) in healthy male participants at rest. Findings included enhanced resiliency to the declines in oxygen saturation and cognitive performance after KME ingestion. Study 4: Investigated the use of KME as a countermeasure to declines in oxygen saturation, cognitive performance, and effects of subjective exercise intensity during severe hypoxia at rest and during moderate intensity exercise in healthy males. Findings included enhanced resiliency to the decline in oxygen saturation, but no effect on cognitive performance after KME ingestion. Collectively, these investigations show promise for KME as a countermeasure for acute exposure to severe hypoxia both at rest and during exercise, with further work needed to establish optimal dosing and effectiveness in other populations and specific use cases.

A Comprehensive Guide for Patients and Practitioners Although evidence supporting the benefits of ketogenic diet therapies continues to mount, there is little to guide those who wish to adopt this diet as a metabolic therapy for cancer. Keto for Cancer fills this need. Inspired by the work of Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried, PhD, nutritionist Miriam Kalamian has written the first book to lay out comprehensive guidelines that specifically address the many challenges associated with cancer, and particularly the deep nutritional overhaul involved with the ketogenic diet. Kalamian, a leading voice in the keto movement, is driven by passion from her own experience in using the ketogenic diet for her young son. Her book addresses the nuts and bolts of adopting the diet, from deciding whether keto is the right choice to developing a personal plan for smoothly navigating the keto lifestyle. It is invaluable for both beginners and seasoned users of the ketogenic diet, as well as for health-care professionals who need a toolkit to implement this targeted metabolic therapy. The book guides readers to a deeper understanding of the therapeutic potential of the ketogenic diet--which extends well beyond simply starving cancer--emphasizing the powerful impact the diet has on the metabolism of cancer cells. Nutritional nuances are explored in sections such as "Fasting Protocols" and "Know What's in the Foods You Eat" while meal templates and tracking tools are provided in "Preparing Keto Meals." Kalamian also discusses important issues such as self-advocacy. Readers of Keto for Cancer are empowered to "get off the bench and get in the game." To that end, Kalamian offers tips on how to critically examine cancer-care options then incorporate what resonates into a truly personalized treatment plan.
