And that's where the chronic pain's from.

That's where the delay in repair comes from.

So when I look at power and muscle training, the first place I talk to my patients about it is...

How many days does it take you to get back to feeling good after you've had an injury?

Let's be on the side of a ketogenic setting where your inflammation is super low.

And when you tear something, which you're going to tear things when you're lifting heavy, the repair part is so quick.

The power is a little hard to talk about.

If you want me to go there, I can.

Yeah.

So we looked at this in military people.

It's one of my favorite ones, where they are all insulin resistant.

And we put them on a ketogenic diet, and so they're trying to meet their standards.

And at a month of being in a ketogenic state, they've lost weight, but their power and time didn't do anything too sexy.

Then you look at those same soldiers at a year, or I think it was six months was the next time they did another big check.

And by golly, they've lost even more weight, and their power is about 20% more than their counterparts.

When they get to 18 months of a ketogenic diet, their power is almost 50% more.

than what their counterparts were.

So let me explain that.

As you're looking at a muscle, it will choose which fuel it wants to use.

And when you've been glucose using, when you're on a non-ketogenic diet, it's gonna use glucose first to fuel.
