The Fit Fat Fast Podcast! – Ep 27 – Coconuts, Ketones and Proper Running

Fit Fat FastDr.  Mary Newport joins us today to talk about why ketones and Medium Chain Triglycerides are indeed the brain’s preferred source of fuel and why too much sugar can have a lasting, negative effect on the brain.  What does this have to do with the endurance athlete you ask?  Well, although our talk doesn’t translate to finish lines it does have a tremendous importance on athletes who fuel themselves with mountains of sugar with little idea of the metabolic and mental damage they might be doing long term.

We talk all about the power and benefits of coconuts, MCT and everything you wanted to know about ketones but were afraid to ask. After that Jon and Debbie get into more of a “fit, fast” topic rather than a “fat” topic and we talk about our preferred running footwear, how to run properly, why running doesn’t have to mean automatic overuse injury and how poor running form can actually add to metabolic inefficiency.
