IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE...

… Steven Gundry, M.D., introduces you to the biological mechanism that makes keto diets so successful: a cellular process known as “mitochondrial uncoupling.” 

He’s spent the last two decades studying the microbiome and uses diet and nutrition as a key form of treatment for people who want to improve their body health and performance. You may already know Dr. Gundry from his bestselling books like: “The Plant Paradox,” (lectins!) “The Longevity Paradox” and “The Energy Paradox.” 

This discussion gets right into new science that’s overhauling what you think you know about a keto diet. In his newest book, “Unlocking the Keto Code: The Revolutionary New Science of Keto That Offers More Benefits Without Deprivation,” Dr. Gundry debunks common myths about keto and explains:

  • How ketosis actually works,
  • What’s going on with ketones, and 
  • What your mitochondria has to do with all of this.


You don’t have to restrict all carbs to reap the benefits of ketosis; you simply have to “unlock” mitochondrial uncoupling, Dr. Gundry explains.

He shares eight “keys” that unlock the keto code. You’ll get real food examples of how to ignite this process without the monotonous, limiting, high-fat diet.
