| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:12.0 | Do you realize that there are animals that are resistant to certain diseases that actually |
| 0:26.5 | kill humans? |
| 0:27.7 | It's true. |
| 0:28.5 | And I'm going to talk about four of them. |
| 0:30.0 | It's just an interesting topic. |
| 0:31.6 | Let's start with the elephant. |
| 0:33.5 | Okay. |
| 0:34.2 | Elephants don't get cancer. |

| 1:13.2 | high levels of something called Hyliyaranin, which is a compound that can cage the cancer and keep it |
| 1:21.7 | from spreading. Quite interesting. They're also protected from hypoxia, lack of oxygen, probably because they live |
| 1:29.0 | most of the life underground and there might not be a lot of oxygen down there. They're also |
| 1:33.5 | protected against oxidative stress. They have this highly expressed gene called NRF gene, |
| 1:42.1 | which is also called the Master of Oxidative Stress Protection. |
| 1:45.8 | Now, this gene, which I'm going to do a video on this, is quite fascinating because we also |
