Welcome to the Physiology Friday newsletter. We talk about the ketogenic diet as a metabolic therapy for type 1 diabetes. Physiologically Speaking is a reader-supported publication. This irregular sleep pattern misaligns circadian rhythms and disrupts physiology. “The shorter your sleep, the shorter your life.”

What physiological mechanisms make moderate to high levels of activity so favorable, especially in our modern environment?

Both lactate and BHB naturally increase in response to physiological stresses—lactate during intense exercise and BHB during prolonged fasting or low-carbohydrate diets. At the same time, BHB levels rise more gradually, paralleling the ketogenic state induced by fasting or ketogenic diets.

Not everyone who meets the criteria for metabolic syndrome will become diabetic, but falling into this category means you share much of the same underlying physiology. But our physiology does not care. 5 Life's Essential 8 and risk of non-communicable chronic diseases: Outcome-wide analyses. Impressive findings.
