About this episode

Dr. Mike Chesne discusses the science behind Tecton Ketones and their potential benefits for brain and body health.

Full show notes : https://bengreenfieldlife.com/tectonpodcast 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 ketone salts, ketone esters, and bioidentical beta-hydroxybutyrate, 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, the dual agonist effect ketones may have on hunger and fullness signaling, and the proposed mechanism behind why ketones may improve exercise recovery. Dr. Mike Chesne founded Tecton after a 25-year career in United States Army Special Operations. His interest in exogenous ketones began after researching a DARPA-funded project led by Oxford University and the NIH. Use code BEN for 16% off your entire order at bengreenfieldlife.com/tecton.
