The Real Truth About Keto, Fasting and Longevity: Jim Howard

What is the importance of biofeedback for longevity and improved
physical performance? How can we accurately measure whether we
are in ketosis? What is intermittent fasting? What impact does an
18:6 diet really have on our bodies? What is autophagy? How does
fasting affect muscle mass? What are exogenous ketones? What does
it mean to be metabolically flexible? 


With all of the conflicting information surrounding ketosis,
fasting, the impact of exogenous ketones, and nutrition as a
whole, we wanted to get an expert on the SuperAge podcast to give
us some clarity around the topic. Jim Howard, the President and
CEO of Readout Health, has helped to create an innovative
biofeedback tool, Biosense, used to measure your ketone levels
throughout the day to help with goals for longevity, weight
management, or peak performance. He, along with this team at
Readout Health, wants to help us regain control of our health
through proper nutrition and lower the rates of obesity, type 2
diabetes, heart disease, and more. 


What you will learn in this episode:
- Why using a biofeedback device can promote a better
understanding of our health and be used to promote 
longevity
- How to know whether you’re in ketosis
- The misconceptions around ketosis, health, and diet
- What intermittent fasting does for the body
- What autophagy is and how it impacts aging
- What Jim’s wellness non-negotiable are


“A good way to look at ketosis, I don’t mean the keto diet I’m
talking about ketosis, is that it’s the other side of the
metabolic switch, that’s where the damage is undone. We focus on
the undoing of the damage that one has done to themselves.” 


“If longevity and healthspan are curious and part of your future
plans, I encourage it to be, knowing what your actual body is
doing as you enter these zones is critical, as opposed to just
guessing.” 


“I was born in 1967 and in this one generation, in 1967 10% of us
were obese. 54 years later it’s now at 40%. In one decade it will
be 49%.”
