So when we say ketoadaptation, we should probably say keto and fat adaptation. So there's studies out there that show our metabolic physiology changes pretty profoundly from eating this. We basically, we burn what we eat, right? So with a high-carbohydrate diet, we are pretty much burning that as fuel and our bodies can adapt remarkably well to burning a macronutrient profile that's reflective of the ketogenic diet. And when we do that, a lot of really remarkable, beneficial metabolic processes happen including mitochondrial biogenesis, reduction of ROS, reduction of inflammation, a reduction of specific inflammatory cytokines that may be associated with with age-related chronic diseases are reduced.
