“distill it and figure out how I can deliver it in swift fashion, which would have been impossible 10 years ago. So for example, we talked about how my uncles had cancer and passed away and I felt helpless, then my mother had it some years later and we had progress. We had the ability to be able to do something different. Similarly for me, I look at my books. I look at my social channels, my YouTube platform as ways of being able to actually solve a problem that I felt like needed to be solved, but I wasn't really sure how to do it until now.”

“Thank you. Well, thank you for inviting me. But, you know, I would say that we also live in a time, again, this is about going into the future. I'm always about moving into the future. Well, we have the platforms. We have, you know, I went on to, I developed a YouTube channel because I realized it was a place for me to drink from the fire hydrant.”

“Wow. I think I would have Two sides two answers for that that represent different sides of the coin. For me, I think if I'm able to have made my immediate community, my family better, that would be meaningful, a meaningful life having been lived. And if you look at the whole rest of my career and existence and how I spend my time. I want the work that I've done to resonate with others in a way that can improve their lives. What I do, I kind of say I'm taking one for the team, the team being the rest of the world. And if I can contribute even a small piece that makes other people's lives better, then I feel like, you know, I've done my job.”

“Know, I think that the most one of the most important things that I want people to walk away with is that there's more than 200 foods that I've studied and I've written about in my books eat to be disease and eat, beat your diet, that I've done all the heavy lifting to help you figure out what foods are healthy that you could consider adding to your diet. But if you notice, I didn't actually give you a formula or a set menu on what to do for health. Because the most important thing I want people to walk away with is that my humanistic approach to this is you should love your food to love your health. And if you could actually do both at the same time, you have to find out what are the foods that resonate with you. What do you prefer? What do you enjoy? So if you could look at 200 healthy foods, which is what I have in my books, and just take a highlighter or a pencil and circle them.”

“A great source for hydration, good source of lycopene, which you talked about, good for metabolism. I would take berries. Berries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries are among my favorites. Raspberries, you might be surprised at this, but raspberries are pound for pound or weight for weight one of the most fiber rich foods out there. They're light, they're hollow, packed with fiber, and they've got polyphenols that are useful for lowering inflammation as well. Berries are actually really good. And then, you know, because I follow what I call the Mediterranean style of eating, I love to have those vegetables that are actually used in both the Mediterranean and Asia, Mediterranean style cooking, the Bok Choy, the kale, chicory, escoral, you know, all of those types of... Of leafy green.”

“I love nuts, tree nuts. And, you know, not the pre-packaged kind, but I like to, you know, kind of like toast them up myself and flavor them myself. I would bring that because of the dietary fiber, the healthy protein. It's a good source of protein, some healthy fats in it as well, and can kill some cancer stem cells while we're at it. So tree nuts are actually good. I would bring tomatoes because I love tomatoes.”

And I can, I'm not caffeine sensitive, so I can have the tea at night If you allow me, I'll actually lump those into my beverages. under one category. I'll bring tree nuts.”

“Text messages the brain. We talked about the brain, and it causes our brain to release social hormones like oxytocin. That's a social hormone that makes us feel good. So, you know, why wouldn't I actually take that and, oh, one last thing, lactopacus rudoi has been the kind I take is chewable. Why wouldn't you just take a capsule? Well, it turns out that this same bacteria, like says riterides, good for the gut, but if you chew it up, this is the bacteria that kills the bacteria that causes cavities and gum disease. I haven't had cavity in well over a decade. You know, and so again, this is one of these types of practical things that just knowing the science and knowing what I do and I don't need enough, it's hard to get enough vitamin D hard enough to get omega-3s, I will actually top off on those.”

“There are some probiotics that I feel that it's prudent to actually have in my body, so I'm not giving a general recommendation. I'm just telling you what I do, right? That's what we're talking about. I'd be as personal. It's personal to them. But we talked earlier about the Acromassia, right? So I do eat the foods that support Acromancia, the pomegranate, et cetera, and the chili peppers. I'm going to take the supplement because I've seen the data that shows how important it can be, oh, an acromancia improves your metabolism, lowers the risk of metabolic syndrome. There might even be some clues that acromancia might also lower the risk of dementia development later on as well. So, hey, this is a pretty safe natural bacteria. I'll take that probiotic. And another probiotic I take is called lactobacillus rutari, L ruteri. What does this do? Lowers inflammation, builds immunity. It actually takes, this is the bacteria.”

“Yes, I do. And I'll first say my first off approach is that we should get most of the micronutrients that we need to be healthy from our food. Use your food to our advantage because single foods will have hundreds of different polyphenols and fiber and all kinds of other beneficial things. Vitamins and minerals. So our food is a much more efficient way to get all of our micronutrients. However, supplements can be helpful in that literal translation of the world supplement, which means topping off. So if you can't get everything that you need from your food, then feel free to top it off. And that's what I actually do as well, vitamin D, vitamin D, I do it as well, omega-3 fatty acids, another good top-off to actually use for a supplement. And by the way,”

“Now, with the work that I'm doing in foodist medicine, so we can take the modern science, that deep probe that... extraordinary level of sophistication that we use for drug development and we can use it, apply it to understand why our foods help us, which foods help us, and what types of outcomes we're actually looking for. And so food is medicine, bringing it back into the fold is just replacing a tool in the toolbox. But now we are actually fortifying it with the knowledge provided by science of what we should choose and when and why.”

“Yeah, I mean, listen, before we had medicine as medicine, before we had pharmaceuticals in the 1930s, that's all we had. That's all humans had our diet and lifestyle for medicines. And so I think that that's really, I think what's happened is that during the Industrial Revolution that occurred with pharmaceuticals, we put aside a tool in the toolbox that we've always had. In fact, that's the only thing we had before. And we focused myopically just on what pharmaceuticals can do. Now, I'm telling you, as somebody who's developed biopharmaceuticals and who is still very much involved in that, new medicines can be life-saving. Old medicines can be life-saving. And so you never want to throw out the baby with a bathwater. What we have forgotten about is that tool in the toolbox has been with humanity forever, which is what we do with our food. And what I'm saying is that what we can do now.”

“Brain scans looking for blood flow in Alzheimer's bringe. Indeed, you see poorer blood flow in people who have actually Alzheimer's disease. But it turns out the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease have more blood vessels. More blood vessels that aren't working well, so their annual Guess what those blood vessels are doing? Those abnormal blood vessels, they have been discovered to secrete a neurotoxin that kills your brain cells. So abnormal androgenesis in Alzheimer's disease grows blood vessels that don't create blood flow, but they secrete a toxin that kills brain cells. And they also secrete the precursor to build up a plaque. So we publish this as a hypothesis and an editorial in the Lancet, and now there's a whole field looking at androgenesis and Alzheimer's disease.”

“which as she helps to keep the brain growing in a healthy and maintained in a healthy sort of way. So stem cells that are recruited by nitric oxide actually can help to also regenerate the blood vessels and keep the blood vessels helping healthy feeding the brain. That's the connection between Alzheimer's and dementia androgenesis. Now for Alzheimer's, I worked with a colleague, Dr. Anthony Vagnucci, some years ago, and we published what was then an editorial in the Lancet, you know, a very prestigious British medical publication. And we were connecting the dots between Andrew Genesis and Alzheimer's disease. And here's how it works. Most people assume that if you've got Alzheimer's disease or someone has Alzheimer's disease, they don't have very good blood flow. They're not going to have a lot of androgenesis. They got problems, right? Of their circulation, of course. And in fact, if you look at the blood flow studies scan,”

“Stem cells are primitive cells that can turn into anything you need them to be turn into a brain, heart, lung, liver, skin, hair, our stem cells actually regenerate us from the inside out. Now you know that one of the things that happens as we get older is our brain atrophies and can start to degenerate. It shrinks, literally a scan of an older person. The brain matter, the mass of the brain shrinks inside the skull. It's like a cotton shirt that shrank. And you see this actually in a scan. And so in order to be able to try to keep the shrinking from happening, you want to make sure there's good blood flow going.”

“So dark chocolate is one of those foods that actually can seems to be able to promote better vascular health, including in the brain. Now there are other foods that can produce nitric oxide as well, beets, beetroot actually can produce nitric oxide, spinach can produce nitric oxide as well. Those are vascular healthy. Now, here's the other thing. When you produce nitric oxide, like with these foods, you know what nitric oxide does? It recruits stem cells, healthy stem cells, not cancer stem cells, but healthy stem cells from your bone marrow.”

“the more common type of dementia, so what can we do to maintain healthy and eugenic blood vessels throughout the course of our lives for anybody who wants, aspires towards longevity? All right, you should be thinking about how to avert that path where your blood vessels, your circulations, your brain gets impaired. The more vascular blood vessel healthy androgenesis supporting diet and lifestyle and medications that you take, the better it's actually going to be. Now, here's what's interesting. What are some of those things? Turns out that dark chocolate, plant-based foods at the cacao, actually produces, helps your body produce something called nitric oxide. Nitric oxide actually widens your blood vessels so you get better blood flow.”

“Like dementia or Alzheimer's disease, thinking is one thing. But in fact, dementia is just a descriptive term for your cognition not working properly. Most commonly as you actually age, Alzheimer's, even though it is one type of diagnosis, there's probably several different kinds of disease as well. And we do know that there are different types of dementia. Alzheimer's is a subset of dementia. Alzheimer's dementia. There's a more common type of dementia called vascular dementia. And that's where those 400 miles of blood vessels in your body actually narrow, get hard, get clogged up, and don't have good blood flow. So you can imagine if you were to actually interrupt the sprinkler system, the tubing, the blood vessels, the tributaries bringing oxygen to your brain within those blood vessels over time, your brain is not going to function very well. So vascular dementia is by far.”

“Yeah, absolutely. So I mentioned to you that the human body's got 60,000 miles worth of blood vessels that are coursing through the entire body, bringing the oxygen and nutrients to the highways and byways of health. All right. 400 miles of those blood vessels are in your brain. 400 miles of blood vessels are actually coursing through our brain. And our brain is super metabolically active. You know, we're the engine of the brain is functioning all the time regardless of your IQ, regardless of what type of task you do. Our brain is very, very metabolically active, highly dependent upon healthy circulation. Now, what we do know as people get older is that problems can occur with brain function. And the reason I'm framing it this way is that it's quick to jump to a term that people use.”

“I might go for a quick walk or check my emails or might read a chapter of a book or read a few pages of a book, I wait at least an hour before I eat anything. Now let's do the math. Stephen, eight o'clock, stop eating. Eleven o'clock go to bed. Three hours. 11 to 7, eight hours, three plus eight is equal to eleven hours. I got 11 hours of fasting. Now I get up and I don't eat for another hour. Boom, 12 hours of fasting, just like that. Okay. Now, if you really want to do that 16 hour fasting 16, 8, just skip breakfast and get to lunch. And as long as you don't overeat at lunch, which does require a little discipline after you go for your fasting window, that you don't overeat and you're eating the right foods. That's how you actually get to do intermittent fasting in the most natural way possible.”

“But don't take a snack with you and sit by the television or absent minorly gobble. Your blood sugar goes down, your insulin goes down because you're not eating anymore. All right. Now your metabolism shifts gears three hours earlier. Okay. Now you've got those eight hours plus three hours. You got 11 hours. Now when you get up in the morning, okay? Let's say you get up at 7 in the morning. Don't do what our moms told us to do, right? So if you were like me growing up, my mom, when I got up, it's like, hurry up and get the breakfast and eat something. So you have enough energy to actually go to school and learn something. All right. So that's, I developed this instinct of actually just getting up and eating as quickly as I can, getting some breakfast in. What have I told you that what I do now, when I get up in the morning, I deliberately don't do what my mother told me to do. I get up, I take my time getting ready. I get dressed. I don't need anything right away. In fact, if I'm dressed and I'm ready for the day, I'm going to go check it out. I might go outside and take a look at the outside.”

“As scientific but as practical as possible. And so I tell people you want to really get involved in intermittent fasting. Easiest way is take advantage of what you're doing already. And that is if you're sleeping, try to sleep eight hours a day. So how do you sleep eight hours a day? I don't know. I said if you go to bed 11 o'clock, get up at 7 o'clock. You get to eight hours of sleep. All right. We know that that's the sweet spot for your brain, for your metabolism, for, you know, for burning on harmful body fat. How do you get more out of that? How do you turn that eight hours of fasting into more? Well, what I say is that the night before when you're eating dinner, let's say you eat from seven to eight o'clock in the evening, what I say is that when you finish dinner and you put your dishes away in the sink or in the dishwasher, that's it. No more eating. Stop eating. Nothing until the next day. If you're going to have dessert or whatever, squeeze in.”

Now, if you've been eating whatever you want over time, you've probably built up a lot of extra fat. Now, from your scans, apparently not. You don't have too much. All right. But you're fasting regularly, you're burning down all that extra stuff. You know, how to schedule your meals. I try to make things”

“Listen, fasting is beneficial. Fasting is good and fasting is very old. It's not just a recent trend. If you go back thousands of years, I mean, if you look at some of the oldest religions of the world, fasting was part of their ritual that would happen throughout the year. Now, people go, well, what about intermittent fasting? How long should I fast? I try to tell people there is no magic formula for success for fasting because we're all different and our bodies are different, our lifestyles are different. There's no universal fasting protocol that's going to be one size fits all. However, I will tell you an easy way to fast because fasting is very natural to us is just paying attention to what you do every day and be mindful. So when you're sleeping, you're not eating. When you're not eating, you're fasting. So I try to be reassuring. So guess what? You're fasting every day anyway when you're fall asleep. You're fasting. All right.”

“Well, so coffee is a beverage made with coffee beans. Coffee beans are plant-based foods. Coffee beans contain many polyphenols, including chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid is anti-inflammatory. Chlorogenic acid also turns on your brown fat. So it activates or triggers your brown fat, and it causes your brown fat, the mitochondria, to fire up, undergo thermogenesis to burn down, harmful, white fat, or visceral fat. So cup of coffee a day, or actually the dose is actually about three to four cups of coffee a day, will definitely cause your brown fat, good fat to burn down your bad fat, your harmful fat, your visceral fat.”

“Consider having some cooked tomatoes a few times a week, and you don't need a lot. Even have a cup as enough. Oh, why cook tomatoes? Well, because it turns out lycopene is a natural chemical that in its native form, pick a tomato off the vine and eat it like an apple, it's absorbed in your body but not avidly, not as much as possible. What is that?”

“What does Lycopine do? Guess what lycopene does? Lycopene in a lab will cut off the blood supply to tumors Antianger Genesis Shores up your health defense systems, prevents cancer from getting a blood supply, and in fact in correlative studies they've actually taken the prostate cancer biopsies of men who did not avoid prostate cancer. So they were tomato eaters who went on to develop prostate cancer anyway. Nothing takes you versus zero. And they looked at them and what they found was that those men who ate more tomatoes had fewer blood vessels in their prostate cancer and their prostate cancers are also less aggressive. So people who ate four times and five times and six times had fewer and less aggressive blood vessels growing into their prostate cancer. So that's an example where, you know,”

“So these are from large scale population studies. In this case, it's a epidemiological study called the health professionals follow-up study where they looked at, they developed hypotheses and they looked at outcomes over the course of 25 years and they look for statistical correlations. So they found that tomatoes lowered the risk of prostate cancer based on people reporting their tomato eating. Then they actually went back and looked at the report within the data collected how much did they eat on average every week so that then you can actually back calculate the dose, all right? Now, I told you earlier about the way that I do research, foods and medicine research. Let's take it further. Let's figure out what's in it tomato. Well, tomatoes have lots of it's got sugar. It's got some salt. It's got carotenoids, which are bioactives, one of which is lycopene.”

No. The typical serving that this study supports is just half a cup of tomato cooked tomatoes is per serving.”

Most people encounter food about five times a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a couple of snacks. If you realize every time you're encountering food, it's an opportunity, an opportunity to choose a food, an ingredient that actually supports, raises your shield, supports your health defense systems, and know that and trust your body, trust your health defense systems, that if you raise your shields, you're less likely to actually have problems later won't eliminate them. There's no guarantees in life, but it'll lower the risk. Here's an example, Stephen. You know, research studies have shown that tomatoes are good for overall health. You mentioned prostate cancer. So studies have shown that men who eat tomatoes regularly”

It turns out that excess visceral fat has been linked to 14 other cancers, increased risk of 14 other cancers, everything from colon, ovarian, lung, breast, prostate. It's a growing list of cancers that seem to be put you would be at a higher risk if you had high levels of visceral fat. And it makes total sense given the inflammation.”

The leaking body cream, the leaking inflammation, you know, in a skinny tube, all right, or normal sized tube, normal suitcase. Look, the suitcase can't expand bigger. It's got a finite size, but it's leaking out. And this is because cancer thrives in an inflammatory environment. If you have inflammation without even a microscopic cancer, like we talked about, but a small tumor, putting inflammation in the environment of a cancer is like pouring gasoline on the embers of a fire. You ever go camping? You have a campfire that's almost out at the very end. Now, if you pour some gasoline at boom, whoosh, you're going to have to create a bonfire all over again.”

This is what they were studying. And they looked at these women to see, they did dexascans, as you described, to see how much body fat they had. And then they followed them over 13 years. And they actually found that women who did not have extra body fat had normal risk of breast cancer, but women who had skinny fat. Remember, all the women in the study, and so 3,000 women actually were normal body size. I mean, they weren't super models, but they were just normal size women. Some of them were slimmer than others, but none of them were obese. None of them were overweight, just normal size. But they knew at the beginning.”

“The body, you're scrunching up your organs. Now, why don't we make one of those tubes of cream? Let's break one of them open. Now it's leaking. All right. And that's what's happening when your fat is so inflamed, it starts to leak inflammation. Now imagine that cream starts to leak out into the interstities of your suitcase. Now you've got a suitcase looks skinny on the outside, looks like it just looks like a suitcase. It could be a carry-on. But now all the organs, all the clothes you packed so neatly are squeezed and scrunched off, and now the lotion is leaking everywhere. That is the analogy of excess body fat in a small container spreading out from pressing the organs and leaking out. And that's why it's dangerous.”

And now you've got the center of the fat, starred of oxygen, the inflammatory cells start moving in, and now you've got this fat that's outgrown its own blood supply that's now becoming very inflammatory. And because it's packed all throughout the tube of your body into the suitcase of your body, it's leaking out that inflammation everywhere. So think about it. Like if you have been neatly packed suitcase and you're like, you know, I'm going to put some lotion and cream, canister to lotion and cream. I'm going to pack it everywhere in between spaces.

“Because the tube of your body with all the organs packed into it, just like we're seeing here, look at all these organs packed in. You got your liver, you got your stomach, you got your colon in your small intestines, that's packed into the tube, all right? It's kind of like pecking for vacation. You know, some people are really, really skilled at packing. They can actually fold their socks and underwear in their pants. And it's like, oh my, you're a genius. You're packing genius, right? Now, visceral fat grows between those folded shirts and pants and it fills all that space in there. When you have too much of it, not only does it fill up the suitcase of your body, the tube of your body, but it starts to push on organs, which is not healthy because it's all packing inside the between the spaces, the potential spaces in there. And then when it grows beyond its own blood supply, the visceral fat starts to starve. It becomes hypoxic.”

“So when you mess up the hormonal structure, the endocrine structure of your own body fat with something like excessive cortisol, you'll actually begin to derail your own metabolism. So it's not the short-term cortisol, it's a long-term cortisol that's actually the most damaging.”

“Yeah, well, I mean, cortisol is a stress hormone that actually snaps us into action. It actually is also healing. Cortisol has got multiple job descriptions. It's kind of like a Swiss Army knife of hormones. In small bursts, cortisol incredible. And it makes you feel good as well. I mean, it's basically, it's a type of body steroid. cortisol is a very, very useful hormone for all kinds of reasons. But long-term stress will lead to excessive, prolonged, unabated cortisol secretion. And when your cortisol levels are up, up, up, up, up and unrelentlessly, that then actually changes your metabolism. It definitely alters the ability for your fat to actually conduct its metabolism. I mean, fat releases itself about 15 different”

“The packed with iron oxidizes turns brown. That's why brown fat is brown. And so what happens is that in cold temperatures, like in hibernation in winter, the brown fat fires up, and that's what keeps these hibernating animals warm throughout the winter so they don't freeze to death. Now humans, we can actually use that to our advantage. We can actually activate our brown fat. Cold bath will do it. sleeping in cooler worms will actually start to activate it as well when that by the way when those mitochondria fire up their burning energy you know where they draw that energy from from your white fat from your visceral fat first so you want brown fat good fat to burn down bad fat visceral fat white fat you want to sleep in a cool room or you want to go into a cold bath and there are lots of foods that will also you can eat foods to activate your brown fat to burn down harmful fat”

“fat cells, and those fat cells are brown, and the reason they're brown is because they have a lot of mitochondria in it. Mitochondria being the fuel cells of our body, like the batteries of our body, they're packing, they're the energy generators in our cell. And mitochondria are very rich in iron. And when iron is oxidized, it turns brown like a pile of nails that you've put outside your door and the outdoors silver nails will turn brown. Brown fat packed with mitochondria, energy generating”

“There was a zoologist who was looking at plucked out a kind of a muskrat looking animal from hibernation and dissected it and found that there was this brown lump that was between its shoulder blades. And nobody knew what it was. And the more researchers and biologists and zoologists looked at animals that were hibernating, they found this very consistently. In fact, they called that brown mass first a hibernoma? Oma, a mass, we don't know what it does. A hibernoma. That's what it was known until 1930s. In the 1930s at UCLA, a researcher who in the beginning we didn't have microscopes, then we had microscopes and we had really great microscopes. And all of a sudden in 1930s, the researcher at UCLA said, you know, that hybronoma is actually made of fat.”

“No, no, this is actually just lowering the room temperature really, really cold, like a laboratory condition, lowering the room temperature. And boom, you see all this brown fat lighting up. Remember I told you it's plastered around the neck behind the breast bone, a little bit in your belly. And this is Mother Nature's adaptation and evolution to help animals survive cold temperatures. So before we had thermostats and room heaters, think about a, by the way, brown fat was discovered in hibernating animals.”

“I think it's really important to know is that when you've got too much visceral fat, you've got too much inflammation, but you can actually use your brown fat to try to control that, to try to burn it down. Brown fat, by the way, is activated by foods and activated by cold temperatures. So when you talk about your cold plunge, Brown fat can actually light up. So you just handed me a card. I'll describe this in which there's two pictures of a figure. And one of the pictured on the left is room temperature. And it's not cold. It's regular room temperature. And this is the same individual, by the way. And you can't see anything lighting up because the brown fat is just adjusted to normal room temperature. Now on the right hand side is when you actually lower the temperature.”

“External fat. Yeah. So, okay. So there's two kinds of body fat. White fat and brown fat. They're all good. They're all beneficial. White fat can be subcutaneous, subcutaneous means under the skin, under your jaw, under the skin of your jaw, under your arms, on your thighs. That's subcutaneous. White fat can also be visceral fat. That's deep inside the tube of your body. And then brown fat is not wiggly jiggly like the other white fat. Brown fat is wafer thin and it's plastered around our neck. It's behind our breast bone, a little bit behind between our shoulder blades, a little bit in our belly. And brown fat actually is metabolically active and it fires up a process called thermogenesis to burn down harmful visceral extra body fat. So you can use good fat to burn down bad fat, which is the amazing thing. Again, fat is not universally bad. It's actually quite good. And so one of the things that”

“You're going to pack it full of peanuts and you're going to put into a package. Well, look, you can get a big box and put a lot more peanuts on, or you can take a skinny box that will just fit it and you'll put it in. So it doesn't really matter the size of your tube. You could be a skinny person and you could pack it with a lot of peanuts, in this case visceral fat. And that's what you're talking about in a skinny person with too much visceral fat, too many peanuts packed in there, and that is a result of overconsumption of calories, that fat, that energy, the fuel tanks building up within a skinny body And that's what we call skinny fat.”

“Calories because you're overloading on fuel. So where does the fat build up? There's different areas that fat near body builds up. Now, the fat can, there's white fat and there's brown fat. White fat can be under your chin, could be under your arms, could be in your thighs, in your butt, could be the muffin top around your waist. But that's not where the most dangerous fat builds up. The most dangerous fat inflammatory fat is a fat that builds up inside the tube of your body. So if you think of your body like a poster tube, okay, inside that tube, all this gut, I'm sorry, the body cavity, if you were to slice this body in half and look at a cross section. All right, it's a tube. You can fill any of these interstitial areas between organs. You can pack with fat. So think about you're going to FedEx something to somebody overnight male, a vase or a glass or bottle wine or whatever.”

“a fuel tank to store fuel somewhere we're eating calories our calories are energy we're eating food we're eating calories that's our energy that's that's a fuel our body runs off of i always tell people if you have a car and you're filling it up with gasoline at the petrol station or the gas station you don't even think about your gas until your fuel gauge starts to run low and the same thing for our our bodies we don't think about our fuel until we're hungry and our our hunger in our brain and our gut is really as our fuel tank that signals we're getting towards that red line better go fill fill up now unlike a gas station or petrol station there's no clicker on our body we can keep stuffing food into our system we can very easily overload our fuel tank okay that is you've got you've got to cut back on your calories that's what you your your friend heard when the doctor was saying you got to cut back on your calories”

“Yeah, so I wrote a whole book on this called Eat to Be Your Diet, which is not a diet book. It's an anti-diet book that really uncloaks the new science of your metabolism. And what I try to say in terms of sharing that science is that, first of all, body fat, which societally is regarded as a bad thing. We don't nobody wants fat, right? It's actually a good thing. Body fat's an organ in the body. Did you know that? Like it's one of our body organs, our body fat. It is distributed throughout our body. And what does it do as an organ? Well, it's got some cushioning effect. So, you know, like if you didn't have any body fat, by the way, you tripped on the stairs and you hit the ground, you might rupture your organs. All right. So it has a little bit of a cushion effect, marshmallowy cushion effect, but our fat also is.”
