Today's guest is Dr. Latt Mansor, Ph.D from one of my favorite products HVMN. This episode is all about what the company actually makes and how their products work, including how to time and dose ketones as a supplement. As one of the most research-backed companies in their field, they make one of the best supplemental ketones on the market. Latt's Ph.D is in Physiology, Anatomy, and Genetics from the University of Oxford. He also holds an MA (Columbia University) and a BS (University of Nottingham) in Biotechnology. Latt brings over a decade of experience spanning academic research, health technology, and pharmaceuticals to the H.V.M.N. team, and now, to this conversation.

The company was first founded in 2014 by my former podcast guests Geoffrey Woo and Michael Brandt (see Geoffrey Woo's interview at "The Latest Research On Ketones & Ketosis For Performance & Recovery, Do Ketones Break A Fast, Using Ketones For 45 Days Of Crossfit Murph, Ketone Esters vs. Ketone Salts & More With Geoffrey Woo of H.V.M.N." and Michael Brandt's interview at "The Crazy New World Of Ketone Esters (& How To Use Ketones For Sleep, Performance, Recovery, Fat Loss, Plant Medicines & Much More) With Michael Brandt Of HVMN.") Since that time, the research on ketones has exploded. In 2018, H.V.M.N. products affiliated with United States Special Operations Command were tested as part of Operation Tech Warrior, and in the 2019 Tour de France, multiple cycling teams including Team Jumbo–Visma and Lotto–Soudal confirmed usage of ketone ester for performance and recovery.
