In our last episode from the 2024 Gerontology Society of America (GSA) Annual Scientific Meeting in Seattle, we are honored to host Dr. John Newman and Dr. Brianna Stubbs, both experts in ketone metabolism and aging. Dr. Newman is a geriatrician and researcher at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and in the Division of Geriatrics at UCSF. His research focuses on how ketone bodies, small molecules that our bodies make for energy during fasting or exercise, also work as molecular signals to control inflammation and gene expression. Dr. Brianna Stubbs is an expert in exogenous ketone metabolism and the Director of Translational Science at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. She's a former competitive rower and two-time world champion, and she completed her PhD in metabolic physiology at the University of Oxford, where she studied the metabolic effects of ketone esters. Learn all about their work translating ketone research into the field. If you like this episode or podcast, please like, comment or follow. Thank you for listening.
