In this video, I explain the implications of lactate as substrate for cerebral metabolism. Some of the major topics I discuss are:
- brain metabolic flexibility
- brain metabolism in the fed and fasted state (and prolonged fasting)
- some personal anecdotes
- lactate as brain fuel
- research studies that have explored this concept
- and more.
I end the video with a practical perspective in mind by discussing some of my personal strategies to maintain brain metabolic flexibility. These include (you may never guess) nutritional ketosis, intermittent fasting, as well as cold exposure or cold thermogenesis.

These are very interesting things about brain metabolic flexibility. I did not know until now how lactate is used by the brain. Great video!
