Hey folks, it's Ben Greenfield here and we have certainly been focusing lately on what

to eat during exercise here on the show and today we're going to take that another step

farther and talk with Dr. Peter Adia who happens to be among many other things a physician

and a relentless self-experimenter who has basically spent the last few years seeing

how the body responds to specific nutritional protocols that we'll be talking about today

on this show and one of the main areas that we are going to delve into is low carbohydrate

eating, ketogenic diet and kind of how these jive with a very active lifestyle and a high

amount of exercise. Dr. Adia actually received his medical degree from Stanford. He also holds

degrees in mechanical engineering and applied mathematics. He did his surgical training at Johns

Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore and he has been a consultant with a McKinsey company as well as

an engineer or calculus teacher and he's written many medical and research papers. He actually has

a website now called war on insulin. That's at war on insulin.com and we'll be talking a little bit

about that website as well. Now Peter, first of all thank you for coming on the call today.

Thanks very much, Ben, it's a pleasure. You actually have a pretty cool story. I read about it

a little bit on your site but I think that's kind of a perfect place to start here just because

you have such a varied background and it's kind of interesting how you came to start this website

war on insulin.com and what you're doing with it. Can you tell the audience a little bit about

how and why you started war on insulin.com and what exactly it is that you're trying to achieve with

that? Sure. It's funny. It's technically if I really was being accurate, I would have called it

the war on insulin resistance but that just didn't seem catchy enough. It stands to be called

the war on insulin although I always like to clarify that I'm not morally opposed to the beta cell

which is the part of the pancreas it makes sense. Really, this is all about fighting insulin
