Hey, everyone. Today's episode is something special, and I'm truly excited to share it with you. Rather than a typical Found My Fitness episode, you're about to listen to an exclusive sneak peek of my most recent live Ask Me Anything session. Normally, these AMAs are reserved only for Found My Fitness premium members, but I think this one is so packed with valuable insights that I wanted to share it with everyone. So every month, premium members join me live to ask questions and get direct personalized answers about nutrition, supplements, longevity, sleep, fitness, you name it. No topic is off limits, and we dive deep. Members tell me they love these sessions, and personally, they're one of my favorite things to do each month.
They're genuine, interactive, and filled with actionable insights grounded in rigorous science. What you're hearing today is just the first 30 minutes of a full 90-minute AMA. So in this preview alone, we cover fascinating topics like why I started taking exogenous ketones, my current coffee routine, including what beans and brewing methods I prefer, optimal doses of supplements like ubiquinol, berberine, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin K2, and even whether certain popular greens powders contain concerning levels of heavy metals. But there's so much more waiting for you in the full Ask Me Anything. If you enjoy what you hear today and if the science and advice resonate with you, I'd like to invite you to join our Found My Fitness premium community.
Becoming a premium member isn't just about accessing hundreds of hours of exclusive, deeply researched health content, though that's definitely a great perk. It's about being a part of something bigger.

And you're going to have a sense of pride being a part of our community. So thank you so much for considering supporting this important work. Now let's dive into today's special AMA preview. Hi, everyone. Welcome to Q&A number 72. Nice to see people from all around. I see people saying hi from their location. Excited to be here. Today, we're going to do things a little differently. I'm going to start with the rapid fire questions that I usually end with. And then after the rapid fire questions, I'll kind of get into some deep dive questions today. But I did mention in the chat that I was going to get my exogenous ketones. And I see some questions already in the chat about exogenous ketones and the different types of ketones, when to take them and why.
And some of you may be wondering why I'm taking it right now. I didn't get to do any of my high-intensity interval training this morning, and that usually gives me a pump of lactate. And that lactate gets into the brain, and it really sort of gives me a little extra pump so that I can feel cognitively ready to do this Q&A. And so I took my exogenous ketones because beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the major circulating ketone, and it's the one that's found in all these exogenous ketone products. acts very similar to lactate in a sense, where it activates a lot of the same genetic pathways, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor. It's also anxiolytic. So what I find when I take some exogenous ketones is that I feel it's not the same as like drinking a cup of coffee, but I feel focused, but a very calm focus.
So It seems to calm me a little bit and allow me to focus better. And I really like that. So when it comes to the type of ketones right now, I don't have any affiliation with any brands. But I've been experimenting with Delta G. And this is what's known as the Oxford ketone.
