In this conversation, Dom D'Agostino discusses his background in nutrition and neuroscience, his research on ketosis and its therapeutic effects, and the use of ketones in fueling performance. They explore the benefits of ketones for endurance athletes, the importance of metabolic flexibility, and the role of ketone supplementation. They also touch on the adaptation to ketosis, the dawn effect, and the relationship between ketones and exercise. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the intersection of strength training and endurance sports. In this conversation, the guest discusses his experience with specific movements in weightlifting and the benefits of incorporating different exercises to address weaknesses. The conversation then shifts to the topic of carbohydrate metabolism and the controversy surrounding high carbohydrate consumption in endurance sports. The guest shares his perspective on the importance of glycemic control and the potential long-term effects of high carbohydrate intake. They also discuss the use of supplements such as magnesium, alpha lipoic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids for performance and recovery.Takeaways- Ketosis can have therapeutic effects on the brain and body, stabilizing brain energy metabolism, neurotransmitter systems, and blood flow to the brain.- Endurance athletes can benefit from training their bodies to use fat as fuel and optimizing their glycemic control through carbohydrate titration.- Ketone utilization improves with sustained ketosis, allowing the body to produce and dispose of ketones more efficiently.- The dawn effect, a spike in cortisol in the morning, can impact ketone and glucose levels.- Strength training and endurance sports can complement each other, with power-to-weight ratio being a key factor in performance. In weightlifting, it is important to address weaknesses by incorporating different exercises that target specific movements and improve stability.- Ketone esters may have potential benefits for athletic performance, but it is important to use them strategically and avoid high levels that can cause an acidic load and impair performance.- The controversy surrounding high carbohydrate consumption in endurance sports highlights the need for individualized approaches and the consideration of glycemic control.- Supplements such as magnesium, alpha lipoic acid, and omega-3 fatty acids can play a role in performance and recovery.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Background05:26 Fueling Performance with a Super Fuel13:12 Optimizing Performance for Endurance Athletes27:56 Ketone Utilization and Adaptation30:33 The Role of Carbohydrates and Timing35:25 The Intersection of Strength Training and Endurance Sports38:18 Addressing Weaknesses in Weightlifting39:37 Exploring the New Endurance Sport: High Rocks41:57 The Potential Benefits and Strategic Use of Ketone Esters for Athletic Performance47:28 The Controversy of High Carbohydrate Consumption in Endurance Sports50:53 The Role of Supplements in Performance and RecoveryPILLAR PerformanceShop online:⁠ ⁠https://pillarperformance.shop/⁠⁠Instagram:⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/pillarperformance_/Tiktok:⁠ ⁠ https://www.tiktok.com/@pillarperformanceSTRAVA:⁠ ⁠ https://www.strava.com/clubs/1108245Podcast:⁠ ⁠https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pillarperformanceDom D’Ogastino: https://www.instagram.com/dominic.dagostino.kt/Dr Dan Plews: https://www.instagram.com/theplews/

Supplementation with a high-quality omega-3 product, such as Pillar, can help athletes meet their omega-3 needs and overcome the challenges faced by plant-based athletes.
Timing and compliance are important factors in omega-3 supplementation. Athletes should aim for consistency and find a supplement that is easy to incorporate into their daily routine.

This is a special episode. We were lucky enough to collaborate with Ryzon Apparel to bring forth an activation called the Fortissimo Lounge in Germany. We were in the company of brands such as Canyon, La Marzocco, HOKA and Maurten. The intention was to showcase the evolution of Jan Frodeno and how he has progressed to be the greatest triathlete of all time.

We had the honour of doing a panel discussion with Maurten, hosted by Dr. Sebastian Zeller, founder of the Triathlon Crew to discuss the evolution of sports nutrition. In particular, macronutrition through Maurten and micronutrition through PILLAR.

This is that discussion. Hope you enjoy.
