Episode 19 with Brent Pottinger

Welcome to Sigma Nutrition Radio. My name is Danny Lennon, a nutrition educator, a nerd of all things human performance.

Every Tuesday on the show, I chat with a true expert to get the very best cutting-edge

information on nutrition, health and performance into your hands in a way that is understandable,

practical and applicable. Thanks so much for listening today. I'll try my absolute best to ensure the value you get in return

will be worth your time. Now let's let this week's education begin.

Hey guys and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio.

Today I'm being joined by Brent Pottinger, who is a MD medical student at John Hopkins University. He has a master's degree from the University of Southern California, as well as a degree

in physiology from University of California, Davis. Brent has also involved in a whole host

of really cool things, which we'll hopefully bring up today.

One of those being the Ancestral Health Society, which he's the co-founder of.

And I know a lot of you listening will have heard of their work before.

So we'll dive into some of that today.

But first, just like to welcome you, Brent, to the show.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Yeah, thank you for having me, so Brent just based on um that kind of very short cliff notes intro maybe

you can dive a bit deeper for people and let them know really your background or suppose your

your personal journey to get to this point in what you're doing

and and any of that stuff in around where you got to and how this really came about I suppose.

Yeah, sounds good. So I was fortunate when I was growing up that I had a mom who was a nurse

and she had an interest in nutrition.

And that kind of was my start in terms of maybe like in high school.
