In this episode of Biohacking Blondes, we sit down with Peter Bayne, co-founder of Kenetik, the brain and body performance drink designed to fuel high performance with exogenous ketones. What started six years ago in Peter’s kitchen, alongside his brother Devon Price, has grown into a pioneering company at the forefront of human performance, clinical research, and clean energy innovation.
Peter shares how he and Devon—blending Devon’s deep R&D background from MIT, Stanford Health, and the defense industry with Peter’s 15+ years of building food & beverage brands—set out to make ketones accessible to everyone. Together, they’ve built Kenetik with a mission to replace overstimulation from caffeine and traditional energy drinks with a smarter, science-backed alternative.
This conversation is packed with insights on the future of clean, functional fuel for the brain and body. If you’ve ever wondered whether ketones could be the missing link in your performance stack, this episode is for you!

Highlights from the Conversation:
The science of ketones: How D-beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and 1,3-butanediol boost HRV, sharpen focus, reduce insulin resistance, and improve recovery.
Clinical impact: Kenetik’s NEW medical formulation is being studied for conditions like epilepsy, neurodegenerative disease, alcohol use disorder, and schizophrenia—with powerful early success stories.
Caffeine vs. clean energy: Why Kenetik refused investor pressure to add caffeine, and how ketones can fuel both athletes and knowledge workers without the crash.
Practical biohacking: How Kenetik induces ketosis in just 20–30 minutes, the pros and cons of ketone testing (urine strips, blood, breathalyzers, and continuous monitors), and ways users leverage it for workouts, fasting, and the afternoon slump.
Taste & formulation: The importance of using natural sweeteners like Reb M and allulose, plus added electrolytes to make the drink healthy AND enjoyable.
Real stories, real results: From endurance athletes to a woman whose seizures dramatically improved, Kenetik is making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Future of fueling: Expansion into gyms (Lifetime), grocery stores, and even new product formats like bars and edibles—plus continued research partnerships with leading universities and clinics.
Best Uses for drinking your Kenetik:
Pre-workout fuel → Take 20–30 minutes before training for enhanced endurance, faster recovery, and sharper focus.
Midday energy boost → Use instead of coffee or energy drinks to power through the afternoon slump without jitters or crashes.
Intermittent fasting support → Helps suppress ghrelin (the hunger hormone), making fasting windows easier while still providing clean energy.
Cognitive performance → Great before long meetings, creative work, studying, or presentations to improve focus, mental clarity, and productivity.
Recovery tool → Supports HRV (heart rate variability), cellular repair, and recovery after intense exercise or stress.
Travel & jet lag → Helps maintain steady energy levels and brain function when crossing time zones.
Clinical/therapeutic use → Can be supportive for epilepsy, neurodegenerative conditions, insulin resistance, and brain health (always in coordination with a practitioner).
