About this episode

Latt Mansor explores the multifaceted role of ketones, particularly their influence on brain health, fertility, memory, and focus.

Mansor also highlights the potential therapeutic benefits of ketones for conditions such as sleep disturbances, infertility, depression, and Alzheimer's. If you want a balanced approach to health discussions, where scientific understanding encourages expanded knowledge and experience rather than limitations, this is the episode for you.
