0:00.0	You know, why do all of these different opinions exist? And do we actually understand what an optimal diet looks like?
0:08.3	And if we do, what is that? There does seem to be some resistance, and it's the same in all diet tribes,
0:14.1	to acknowledging that maybe this diet is not perfect in all ways. Thinking about the optimal diet today, we have to broaden our lens.
0:23.2	I went on to discover that sure our genes do have some say,

1:45.4	things work for different people. So it was really nice to have this nuanced conversation
1:49.0	with him about plant-based diets. I cannot recommend enough checking out his book,
