Why Keto Studies Keep Getting It Wrong | The Science Explained

Описание: Everyone keeps saying keto hurts athletic performance… but the studies they quote don’t actually test ketogenic diets.
Some use 90–150g of carbs a day, none of them include electrolytes, most only run 4–6 weeks, and almost all ignore the downstream effects that actually matter: inflammation, lactate, fat oxidation, recovery, injury risk, and training volume.

In this episode, I'm joined by Coach Bronson to break down the six most-cited studies people use to claim keto is bad for performance — and explain why each one fails to measure real metabolic adaptation.

We cover:

00:00 – Intro
02:30 – “Performance doesn’t improve during short studies” explained
04:00 – What researchers ignore (inflammation, lactate, fat oxidation)
07:00 – Why most “keto” studies aren’t actually ketogenic
12:00 – The electrolyte oversight that invalidates half the data
20:00 – The adaptation window people underestimate
33:00 – Carb supplementation: when it helps, when it doesn’t
45:00 – Real-world elite athlete examples
1:05:00 – Fat oxidation, VO2, and why carbs aren’t required
1:20:00 – The future of keto research

If you care about performance, metabolic health, endurance, or longevity… this is a deep dive you don’t want to miss.
