(heavy metal music) Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Drive podcast. I'm your host, Peter Attia. This podcast, my website, and my weekly newsletter all focus on the goal of translating the science of longevity into something accessible for everyone. Our goal is to provide the best content in health and wellness, and we've established a great team of analysts to make this happen. It is extremely important to me to provide all of this content without relying on paid ads. To do this, our work is made entirely possible by our members.

If you want to learn more about the benefits of our premium membership, head over to peterattiamd.com/subscribe. My guest this week is Dom D'Agostino. Dom is a neuroscientist and professor at the forefront of metabolic therapies, including ketogenic strategies, exogenous ketones, and hyperbaric oxygen. In this episode, we discuss nutritional versus supplemental ketosis, clear definitions, thresholds for clinical ketosis and practical ways to achieve it while keeping protein adequate, why the early transition into a ketogenic diet can be challenging, and how electrolytes and ketone salts
