In this episode with Dr. Mike Chesne, founder of Tecton Ketones™, you’ll hear how a traumatic brain injury sustained in combat led him from Army Special Forces medic to ketone biochemist, and why he eventually built what he believes is a meaningfully better exogenous ketone molecule than anything else currently on the market. We get into the real biochemical differences between different types of ketone salts, why the liver matters so much in how these molecules get metabolized, and a full walkthrough of Tecton's plant-based liposomal delivery system. You’ll also hear about all four Tecton product formulations, and the proposed mechanism behind why ketones may improve exercise recovery.
