Michael Brandt founded Ketone IQ after noticing its high metabolic efficiency to make fueling with ketones easier. We’re bringing him on the show to chat all about ketones including:

  • How he got started with Ketone IQ
  • What are ketones and the differences between Ketone IQ and ketones produced naturally in your body
  • The science behind using ketones as an energy source
  • How to optimally include ketones as a part of your fueling
  • Whether we could see new ketone products on the market in coming years

Ketone IQ promises to provide a new fuel source completely separate from carbs, proteins and fats. We were curious how ketones fit into a well-rounded fueling strategy and wanted to put this show together to help answer that question.

MAS NAD+ for Runners

Did you know that by Age 40, your NAD+ levels can be half of what they were at 20? And they only go downhill from there.

This is important because lower NAD+ levels have been shown in research to impact some of the hallmarks of aging such as reduced muscle strength, lower mitochondrial performance and overall energy.

But, just because NAD+ levels decline with age doesn’t mean you have to accept it.

NAD+ from MAS Edge is a groundbreaking formula that can increase your NAD+ levels by 67%.

Their unique formula enhances absorption by 71% and increases uptake and utilization in the body by 167% compared to generic NAD+ supplements.

This means you can slow muscle loss, improve recovery, increase your energy levels, and fight aging at the cellular level.

You can check out the results yourself at masedge.com/nad. Plus, runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase.

If you’re ready to fight all the typical signs of aging and feel a decade younger, this is no-brainer.
