Dr. Dom D’Agostino is a research scientist and Associate Professor of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine. He owns KETONUTRITION, a platform where he shares his recent findings regarding our health and nutritional intake, with a special focus on the ketogenic diet. Dom teaches students at USF on topics such as neuropharmacology, medical biochemistry, and neuroscience. He is often asked to participate in experiments conducted by NASA and the U.S. military.

Dom joins us today to discuss how ketosis was used as clinical treatment, how it is used today, and how ketosis affects our brain. He shares where he found his passion for neuroscience and when he took part in a project by NASA. He describes how exogenous ketones work and how keto enthusiasts can use them. Dom also explains what cancer is, from a metabolic and genetic viewpoint, and why mitochondrial health can determine cancer risk.

 

“The ketogenic diet reduces the production of reactive oxygen species overall.” - Dr. Dom D’Agostino

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
