0:00.0	Hey everyone welcome to a sneak peek ask Ask Me Anything, or AMA episode of the Drive Podcast.
0:16.0	I'm your host, Peter Attia.
0:17.7	At the end of this short episode, I'll explain how you can access the AMA episodes in full,
0:22.3	along with a ton of other membership benefits we've created.
0:25.4	Or you can learn more now by going to Peteratia MD.com forward slash subscribe.
0:31.0	So without further delay, here's today's sneak peak of the Ask Me Anything episode.
0:37.0	Welcome to a special AMA episode of The Drive.

1:31.1	camera is on the guest and not me I am typically
1:33.4	feverishly taking notes because I'm learning as the podcast is going at the end of

1:46.0	them onto five by eight inch cards.
1:49.4	Any podcast might have somewhere from one to three or four of these cards filled out and you can
1:54.6	imagine someone doing this back in the way that you would make a crib sheet in
