Dr. Latt Mansor’s path from a small town in Malaysia to earning degrees at Columbia and Oxford is a story of relentless curiosity, resilience, and timing. In this compelling conversation with David Nurse, Latt reveals how a series of unexpected decisions led him to the forefront of ketone research at H.V.M.N., where he now leads groundbreaking studies on performance, focus, recovery, and heart health. He breaks down the science behind ketones—why the brain and body love them, how Ketone IQ differs from traditional energy sources like caffeine, and what the data shows in real-world applications: improved endurance, sharper mental clarity, deeper sleep, and even enhanced cardiac output in heart failure patients. But this episode is about more than science. Latt shares how personal loss, cultural identity, and internal self-doubt shaped his mission to help others live longer, more optimized lives. It’s a conversation on fuel—not just for the body, but for the mind, purpose, and belief. Whether you’re training for peak performance, building a business, or simply aiming to think and feel your best, this episode delivers the clarity, consistency, and actionable insight you need to operate at your highest level—physically and mentally.
