The MCT Oil Podcast

health, fitness, medicine · EN

Starting a very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (VLCKD) can offer potential health benefits ranging from addressing obesity and diabetes to neurological disorders. However, the transition phase, known as "keto-induction," often causes adverse symptoms like headache, muscle cramps, weakness, and gastrointestinal issues—collectively termed the "keto-flu".In this podcast, we break down randomized controlled clinical trials that investigate a common supplement: Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are known to be highly ketogenic, meaning they are rapidly converted into bio-available ketone bodies, such as beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB), in the liver. 4thyearsciguy.substack.com
