#169 - Ketones: The Fourth Fuel and the story of Warburg, Krebs, and Veech ft. Travis Christofferson

Travis Christofferson is a top science writer focused on metabolism. His latest book is “Ketones: The Fourth Fuel: Warburg to Krebs to Veech, the 250 Year Journey to Discover the Fountain of Youth.” This book is a fascinating expedition behind the thinkers and experimentalists that were foundational to our modern understanding of how our bodies produce and utilize energy. Geoff and Travis discuss the life and work of key scientists including Otto Warburg (Nobel Laureate), Hans Krebs (Nobel Laureate), and Richard Veech and how their work wove together to form our current understanding of ketosis and metabolism. This is a great one to listen to learn about the foundational insights behind the Warburg Hypothesis, the Krebs Cycle, and the biochemical redox advantage of ketosis.
