0:00.0	Hello and welcome to Sigma Nutrition. I am your host, Danny Lennon. This is episode 390 of the podcast. You are very welcome back to the podcast, or welcome to the podcast if indeed this is your first episode listening in. On today's episode, I'm going to be talking with Dr. Gil Carvalio, who is a qualified physician, a research scientist, and is also a science
0:41.4	communicator where he tries to disseminate that information more broadly. So Dr. Carvalio
0:47.5	trained originally as a medical doctor at the University of Lisbon in his native Portugal,
0:53.2	later obtaining a PhD in biology from Caltech.
0:57.3	And he has published peer-reviewed papers in various fields from genetics to molecular biology,
1:04.9	to nutrition, to aging and neuroscience.
1:09.7	And over time, he has really dived deeply into looking at nutritional
1:14.5	science and the goal of trying to understand not only why is it so confusing to many, but how do we
1:22.6	start to make that less confusing? How can we think through these ideas better? And obviously that's a
1:28.8	theme that is central to this podcast. So it's going to be great to be able to ask him about some of the
1:34.9	more confusing or conflicting ideas that happen around the internet in relation to nutrition.
1:43.9	If you want to get the show notes to this episode,
1:46.3	they are over at sigmautrition.com slash episode 390. And on the website, you'll be able to find
1:53.5	show notes to all our podcast episodes. You'll be able to find transcripts to our episodes.
1:58.7	And whilst you're over on the website, also check out some of our
2:01.2	written content, including our Sigma statements where we go in depth on topics that are often
2:08.0	quite confusing or sometimes have a lot of gray area and try and give a picture of where the
2:14.9	evidence sits, at least from our perspective. So check out our
2:18.0	Sigma statements that are there. And if you're not already subscribed to the Sigma Synopsis email,
2:24.9	that's an email that I send out once a week in a kind of a bullet point format, giving you the
2:29.8	kind of best evidence-based content of the week to keep up to date with. So all of that is over at
2:35.3	sigmautrition.com. So please go check that out. And so without further ado, let's dive into
