Introduction

In this enlightening episode of the Kreatures Of Habit Podcast, host Michael Chernow sits down with Latt Mansor, the Research Lead at Ketone-IQ. The conversation delves deep into the transformative power of ketones, Latt’s personal health journey, and the groundbreaking research Ketone-IQ is spearheading. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in optimizing their health through scientifically-backed routines and supplements.

Guest Background and Personal Health Journey

Latt Mansor begins by sharing a candid account of his struggles with chronic illnesses. In September, he discovered severe gut health issues, including high levels of Candida, H. Pylori, and multiple parasites, through stool tests.

“In September, I sent out this couple of stool tests to see what was going on. Not thinking that it was like anything crazy, but when I got the results... I had high levels of Candida, H. Pylori, and multiple parasites.”

Latt recounts his aversion to traditional antibiotic treatments due to past experiences with chronic Lyme disease, which had devastated his gut microbiome.

“My history with antibiotics is not great because I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in 2018… just destroyed my gut microbiome.”
[02:38]

Determined to find a better solution, Latt turned to a holistic functional medicine approach, focusing on gut rebuilding and autoimmune health without the use of antibiotics.

The Role of Ketone-IQ in Health and Recovery

Latt introduces Ketone-IQ as a pivotal tool in his recovery journey. He explains how Ketone-IQ provides a direct energy source without the drawbacks of stimulants like caffeine.

“Ketones provide that energy directly. That's why it doesn't affect sleep, because one is not a stimulant, but then two, it's better than stimulant because it provides the energy that you need.”
[00:00]

He highlights the versatility of Ketone-IQ, noting its benefits beyond a ketogenic lifestyle, including energy enhancement, cognitive function, and as a pre-workout supplement.

“You could take your blood ketone level pre, and take a shot of Ketone-IQ and increase your levels significantly within minutes.”

Research and Scientific Collaborations

A significant portion of the conversation focuses on Ketone-IQ’s ongoing research and collaborations with prestigious institutions. Latt discusses various studies aimed at exploring the benefits of ketones in different health domains.

• Colorectal Cancer Prevention: Collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania to investigate Ketone-IQ’s role in preventing colorectal cancer in high-risk individuals.

• Sleep Apnea Treatment: A grant application with Johns Hopkins University to study the effectiveness of Ketone-IQ in treating obstructive sleep apnea, aiming to reduce risks associated with cardiovascular disease and obesity.

“We have a current collaboration with University of Pennsylvania looking at using Ketone-IQ for colorectal cancer prevention... We're also applying for an NIH grant with Johns Hopkins University for sleep apnea treatment.”
[06:17]

Latt also mentions ongoing heart failure studies with Duke University and large-scale clinical trials in Denmark, underscoring the widespread impact Ketone-IQ aims to achieve.

“We are putting 250 heart failure patients on Ketone-IQ for one month for the next two years... showing improved cardiac output and stroke volume.”
[24:23]

Dosage and Personalization of Ketone-IQ

The discussion shifts to the practical aspects of using Ketone-IQ, focusing on dosage tailored to individual body weight and health goals. Latt emphasizes the importance of personalized supplementation based on one’s physiology and specific needs.

“All the studies are actually dosed at body weight. So 0.3 grams per kilogram of body weight would be the standard dose.”
[10:50]

He explains that typical dosages range from one to three shots per day, depending on the desired effects—whether for cognitive enhancement, energy boost, or athletic performance.

“In studies, we have explored between one to three doses... it really depends on your use case.”
[11:35]

Impact on Sleep, Cognitive Function, and Metabolic Health

Latt elaborates on how Ketone-IQ improves sleep quality by enhancing oxygen sensitivity and having a calming effect on the brain. He also touches on its role in appetite suppression and blood glucose regulation, referencing ongoing studies that demonstrate these benefits.

“Ketone IQ has a calming effect on the brain, which also helps you sleep... it also impacts blood glucose levels by lowering gluconeogenesis.”
[07:57], [21:19]

Listeners gain insight into how Ketone-IQ supports metabolic health by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing blood glucose levels, which are crucial for preventing insulin resistance and associated diseases.

“Ketone IQ improve those scores. So the data speaks for itself.”
[35:20]

Future Directions and Innovative Uses

Looking ahead, Latt discusses Ketone-IQ’s potential applications beyond traditional uses, such as supporting deep autophagy processes and facilitating a metabolic reset for those transitioning into ketogenic diets.

“Ketones could be used as a tool for a ketogenic lifestyle or to give your body a reset... it helps facilitate the transition faster.”
[29:36]

He envisions Ketone-IQ as a versatile supplement that not only aids in performance and recovery but also serves as a preventive measure against various metabolic disorders.

“We are essentially identifying a new tool that really does not only help with metabolic health, but generally can like as a holistic wellness product for anybody.”
[31:40]
