In this episode we talk with researcher Myrthe Stalmans about:

  • Ketones - do they have any effect on performance and recovery at altitude?
  • Will ketones affect sleep at altitude?
  • Ketones as fuel? The research doesn't look promising ... dive into what the science says.
  • Ketones for recovery does NOT mean ketogenic diet

After graduating as a Master's in Bioscience Engineering at the KU Leuven, with a specialization in Human Nutrition and Health, our next guest Myrthe Stalmans performed a postgraduate program in Health Care at HOWEST and shortly worked as a junior consultant. Thereafter, she started a PhD in the Exercise Physiology Research Group at the KU Leuven. During her PhD, which she is currently finalizing, she investigates the role of ketone supplements in physiological adaptation to exercise and hypoxia.
