Examining the Process of Metabolic Switching

Dominic D’Agostino, PhD, is a resident of Tampa, Florida, and works as both a scientist and an assistant professor. Also the owner of KetoNutrition, Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is involved in the research of ketone ester and ketone supplementation, which aids in the metabolic switching process.

Metabolic switching is something that has been in humans throughout their evolution, and has actually aided in the process along the way. When there are periods of food scarcity, the natural reaction of the body is to start breaking down easily accessible energy stores of fat and sugar.

This process can be purposely triggered by fasting, and when done in combination with an active and healthy lifestyle, it can have many benefits. Weight loss is the primary benefit of metabolic switching, and physical exercise during the process is essential. After a period of fasting, exercise will spur the metabolism to switch, which then is forced to breakdown fats and sugars for fueling the activity.

A 2018 study also suggests that metabolic switching can aid in the reduction of cholesterol levels, managing glucose levels, and even improve stress resistance and brain health. For more information, please visit KetoNutrition.org and www.instagram.com/dominic.dagostino.kt.
