Thank you so much for listening, so let's get started with this week's latest program

to help you and your family take control of your health.

Welcome everyone, Dr. Mercola helping you take control of your health and today we are

joined by Dr. Tim Noakes and some of you may be aware of his previous work, but he is

a physician and a researcher in South Africa.

He essentially graduated medical school from Cape Town, South Africa, before I graduated

college in 1974 and then he got his research degree I think a few years later and he has

an extensive history of publishing in science and sports medicine physiology.

So I think he's published over 750 papers, which is absolutely astonishing.

It's really first rate and he's published two books.

One was his breakthrough book and really put some as a pioneer in this field is preventing

so many people from dying from over hydration and helping correct that issue and could clear

up the massive confusion that existed before he wrote his book.

So we'll talk to him a little bit about that in the history and then we're going to go

into some of the low carb diet approach.

So welcome and thank you for joining us, Dr. Noakes.

My privilege to be with you, thank you so much for inviting me, it's a real privilege

and I appreciate it.
