Physiologically Speaking · How I Use Ketones · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

And ultramarathon, they have shown studies showing that it increases EPO, but it also elevates dopamine levels and can prevent cognitive decline during the ultramarathon.

So ultramarathoners using exogenous ketones, I think that's a perfect use case because you're not exercising so hard that it's going to interfere with your carb burning and you're going for a long, long, long time.

So you want those cognitive benefits.

So I see this something like if you're running for two, three hours or more,

The exogenous ketones, ketone IQ can play a super like important role there.

And again, that's why I use it during like a bike ride.

If it's like a three hour bike ride, I'll use exogenous ketones during there as well.

Where a case where really fuel substrate utilization isn't a bottleneck to how well I perform, that's when I will definitely pull out the exogenous ketones and use them.

So I use them a lot.

And one of the main, I won't say criticisms of exogenous ketones, but whenever I talk about using them,

Whenever I cite a study with exogenous ketones, kind of the main pushback is, okay, well, let's look at the dose.

The doses used in a lot of these studies are pretty large.

Even the study that I talked about today with Dr. Lat Mansour, the recent study that just came out, they dosed them during the first three hours with 0.3 grams of

ketones per kilogram body weight.

And then in the two hours after that, they dose them with 0.15 grams of ketones per kilogram.

So let's use myself as an example, I'm 65 kilograms, if I were to use 0.3 grams per kilogram, that's about 20 grams of ketones.

So one ketone IQ shot has 10 grams.

So I would need to take two shots of ketones every hour for three hours, and then one shot every hour for two hours.

So you know, that's a total of

80 grams of ketones for that post workout period where I'm going to be using those ketones.
