In this journal club episode, host Victoria Field is joined by Dr. Angela Poff and Dr. Dominic D’Agostino to dive into two groundbreaking studies shaping our understanding of metabolism and its role in health and disease. The team explores the nuances of a recent randomized controlled trial on ketogenic diets, free sugar restriction, and their effects on glucose tolerance, lipid metabolism, and the gut microbiome. Then, they tackle a cutting-edge study uncovering the molecular mechanisms of ketogenic diets in reshaping cancer metabolism through lysine beta-hydroxybutylaration.From the clinical implications of these findings to the potential of ketone supplementation, this episode is packed with insights for researchers, clinicians, and health enthusiasts. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn how these discoveries could shape the future of precision medicine.🔍 Study 1: Ketogenic diet but not free-sugar restriction alters glucose tolerance, lipid metabolism, peripheral tissue phenotype, and gut microbiome: RCT🔍 Study 2: Ketogenic diet reshapes cancer metabolism through lysine β-hydroxybutyrylationReferenced study related to cardiometabolic health - Carbohydrate Restriction-Induced Elevations in LDL-Cholesterol and Atherosclerosis: The KETO TrialSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode: Genova Connect: Receive 15% off any of their tests with code metaboliclink hereFatty15: Get 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit with the code METABOLICLINK hereMaui Nui: Get 15% off your first order of Maui Nui with the code METABOLICLINK by visiting this linkIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

With a focus on periodic fasting interventions, Dr. Longo highlights the role of FMD in activating stem cells, enhancing cellular repair mechanisms, and even reversing metabolic dysfunctions like insulin resistance and type 1 diabetes.Dr. Longo’s work is paving the way for more accessible, non-invasive therapies for chronic conditions, with far-reaching implications for aging, cancer prevention, and metabolic health. If you’re an academic, medical professional, or researcher, you won’t want to miss this in-depth discussion on how FMD could shape the future of medicine.Valter Longo, PhD, is the Edna Jones Professor in Gerontology, the Director of the USC Longevity Institute and group leader at the IFOM cancer research institute in Milan, Italy. His laboratories study the fundamental mechanisms of aging in yeast, rodents and humans by using genetics and biochemistry techniques. The focus is on the nutrient-response signal transduction pathways that regulate disease and longevity. This work led to the discovery of the effects of periodic fasting and fasting mimicking diets on multi-system stem cell activation and regeneration in mice, and to clinical trials on a range of age-related diseases.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode: Genova Connect: Receive 15% off any of their tests with code metaboliclink at https://gdx.net/themetaboliclinkAG1: This November, AG1 is offering a free gift with your first subscription plus a Welcome Kit at https://DrinkAG1.com/METABOLICLINK—while supplies last!Ned: Get 15% off Ned products with code METABOLICLINK at https://helloned.com/metaboliclinkLearn more about Dr. Valter Longo here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.
