DOMINIC D'AGOSTINO DOMINIC D'AGOSTINO, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine and a senior researcher at the Institute for Human Cognition (IHMC)
.
He can deadlift 230kg 10 times after fasting for 7 days.
Dominic is as strong as an ox and is a close friend of Dr. Peter Atiyah.
My friend Atiyah, MD, has spent his life exploring the limits of physical movement.
The main research goals of Dominic's laboratory are to develop and test metabolic therapies and drugs, including ketogenic diets that induce nutritional ketosis and therapeutic ketosis, ketone esters and ketone supplements, and low-toxic metabolic drugs.
Much of his work is related to metabolic therapy and nutritional therapy, aiming to enable the human body to maintain excellent performance and strong adaptability in extreme environments.
His research has been supported by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, the U.S. Department of Defense, and various private institutions and foundations.
Spirit Beast: Beaver Some Little-Known Facts Around 1995, Domi gave audio material from Tony Robbins’ book Personal Power as gifts to all of his fellow college weightlifters.
Two of them contacted him a few years later to thank him for changing their lives.
After I first invited Domi to appear on my podcast, all Wild Planet cans of sardines sold out in Whole Foods stores across the United States.
Preface: This article may be one of the few pieces of information that can save your life and change your life.
At least, it did change my life.
On its own, it serves as a primer on the encyclopedia of ketosis.
While we've seen a variety of diets, keto supplements are really different from dieting—it doesn't require limiting bacon or whole-fat butter.
For ease of reading, I have slightly simplified some of these concepts for the lay reader.
I’ve also written down my current regimen here.
Basic content Ketogenic diet: a high-fat diet that simulates the mechanism of fasting.
On a ketogenic diet, a person's brain and body gradually begin to use ketones (from stored or newly absorbed fat) for energy instead of relying on blood sugar (glucose) for energy - a state called ketosis.
This diet was originally developed to treat children with epilepsy, but has spawned many variations, including the Atkins diet.
You can achieve a state of ketosis by fasting, dieting, taking ketone supplements, or a combination of several.
How do you know you are in ketosis?
The most reliable way is to use a device called Precision Xtra made by Abbott.
It can measure the body's blood sugar level and the beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB) content in the blood.
Once the measurement is above 0.5mmol, you can consider yourself in a state of mild ketosis.
Generally when the value goes up to 1mmol or higher, I start to feel my mind becoming clearer.
Reference information: Domi shares information about the ketogenic diet, including answers to frequently asked questions, meal plans, and more, at ketogeni-diet-resource.com.
"For the sake of health and longevity, I am willing to increase ketosis from mild to moderate and keep the measurement results between 1 and 3 mmol." Advantages of ketosis state or ketone supplementation Fat loss and body shaping Convincing anti-cancer effect improvement
Oxygen consumption efficiency: When Domi is in a deep ketosis state, he can hold his breath twice as long as usual (increased from 2 minutes to 4 minutes).
This effect is also reflected in me.
Generally speaking, with ketone metabolism, one can get more energy from one oxygen molecule.
This is why some elite cyclists take ketones.
Additionally, it helps you adapt to high-altitude environments faster.
Maintain or increase strength: In a 12-subject study, Domi demonstrated that even top weightlifters were able to maintain or increase strength and performance after adapting to ketones for two weeks.
While taking keto drugs, the body consumes 70% to 80% of calories from fat (supplemented through medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and coconut oil), provided that sugar intake is limited to 22 to 25 grams per day.

Ketones are anti-catabolic, protein-sparing, and anti-inflammatory.
Treating Lyme disease (a contagious disease caused by tick bites with symptoms such as hives and fever): (Warning: The following is personal experience and is not the result of a double-blind experiment.) If all other treatments fail
, you can try to enter a deep ketosis state through diet (the sign for me is that the instrument measurement reaches 3~6mmol), and then continue to take calorie-restricted keto foods for a week, so it is very likely to completely eliminate the symptoms of Lyme disease

This was the only thing that worked for me after my first dose of antibiotics.
