Michael Brandt is the co-founder and CEO of HVMN (Health via Modern Nutrition), the first company to produce a pure exogenous ketone drink at scale. Under his leadership, HVMN secured a $6 million Department of Defense contract to study ketones across 7 research subtasks for special operations applications. Michael is a sub-elite marathoner who runs 60+ miles per week and personally tests every product HVMN develops. His approach to leadership draws from Ray Dalio's principles: identifying the most believable person on any given topic and deferring to their expertise. You can find Michael on Twitter and Instagram sharing insights about ketone science, endurance training, and metabolic optimization.
