#825: Dr. Dominic D’Agostino — All Things Ketones, How to Protect the Brain and Boost Cognition, Sardine Fasting, Diet Rules, Revisiting Metformin and Melatonin, and More | The Tim Ferriss Show

In this episode of the Tim Ferriss Show, Tim interviews Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, a returning guest and expert on ketosis, the ketogenic diet, and metabolic therapies. They discuss the potential applications of the ketogenic diet and exogenous ketones for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, preventative measures, and symptom mitigation. Dom shares his insights on metabolic psychiatry, cancer research, and personal health protocols, including sardine fasting, supplementation, and the use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment. They delve into the nuances of ketone measurement, the importance of monitoring metabolic biomarkers, and the potential benefits and risks of various dietary and lifestyle interventions. Dom also shares his personal dietary habits, supplement regimen, and even his approach to optimizing his dogs' health.
