| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level. |
| 0:12.0 | Doctor, Eric Burg. |
| 0:14.0 | Do you realize that there are animals that are resistant to certain diseases that actually kill humans? |
| 0:19.0 | That's true, and I'm going to talk about four of them. |
| 0:22.0 | It's just an interesting topic. Let's start with the elephant. |
| 0:25.0 | Elephants don't get cancer. They're protected from cancer. |

| 1:16.0 | They're also protected from hypoxia, lack of oxygen, |
