Great strides forward are being made in the fitness, health, and wellness space every year. In labs, rigorous testing can be applied to food/fuel sources to qualify how they affect the body in its different states of exertion. UCAN’s founders were looking for a cure for a rare genetic disease when they discovered a process of cooking a starch that led to long-lasting energy. While they didn’t find a cure for the disease, they were able to create a Superstarch that offered the afflicted with a better quality of life. And, as an incredible secondary benefit, the manipulated starch offers athletes long-lasting energy that is keto-friendly. During this episode, Drew speaks with one of the founders of UCAN, Peter Kaufman about how the team discovered the starch, how it improves workouts, and why it is a perfect addition to a keto diet.
