Episode 41: Dr. Kieran Clarke and Brian McMahon (deltaG Ketones)

In this episode of the Science & Chill podcast, I interview Dr. Kieran Clarke and Brian McMahon of T delta S, a company who sells deltaG ketones, an exogenous ketone ester.

Dr. Kieran Clarke is a legend in the ketone world. Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Kieran Clarke studied for her undergraduate BSc (Hons) in Biological Sciences at Flinders University. She obtained her PhD in Biochemistry at the University of Queensland before taking a post-doctoral fellowship at Harvard University Medical School Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratory between 1985 and 1989. She has over 25 years research experience in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and spectroscopy to non-invasively measure human cardiac, brain and skeletal muscle function and energy metabolism.

We are also joined in this episode by Brian McMahon. Brian is the Chief of Staff at T delta S, and it was awesome to have him on the interview to give his perspective on the market for exogenous ketone ester, what makes T delta S special among the many available ketone products, and how he got into this area of health and performance.

Even if you aren’t fully up to speed on the biochemistry of ketones, I think you will enjoy this episode. Dr. Clarke and Brian do a fantastic job of describing the science of ketosis and their product, and even though I had some prior knowledge in this area, I came away from this interview with much more knowledge and interest in ketone esters than I previously had.
