Hey everyone, Ben-Cuba Radio, episode number 94 and it is Transatlantic.

We are on the line with, I think, I think this lady is in California, it's probably way sunnier than what it is in the UK

because we know what the UK is like but we do love it it's a beautiful place is our home

well for the people that are listening they're in the UK anyway I have the line on the line sorry

a very clever individual far cleverer than me so when she does talk pay attention because it will make

hello ronda patrick because it will make far more sense than I do. Hello, Rhonda Patrick. Hello, thanks for having me, Ben.

Thank you. Let me turn up this volume.

You are...

Ronda, for the people that have no scuba do, who Ronda is?

Who is Ronda?

Well, I'm still trying to figure that out.

I'm defining myself as I go along, but I'll let you know a little bit about my background in terms of my credentials and my scientific history.

So I have a PhD in biomedical science and I have done

research ranging from aging to cancer metabolism myochondral, and now I'm currently doing a post-doc

where I am actively researching the role of micronutrients like vitamin and minerals

and essential fatty acids and their role in preventing diseases of aging and also

their role in

preventing things like cancer. So that's kind of a very short brief introduction to who I am and

so I also in addition to doing research I translate some of the science behind you know health and nutrition to the public so they can sort of understand

exactly you know some of these mechanisms that are, you know, coming out, you know, through

research, they can understand, you know, what and why certain micro-dichurants are important and why it's important to have enough of them.
