| 0:00.0 | Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter. |
| 0:09.7 | All right, folks, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast. |
| 0:13.9 | I am your host, Zach Bitter, and today I have an interview episode for you. |
| 0:19.2 | Today's guest is Dr. Ethan Weiss. Dr. Weiss is a cardiologist who also |
| 0:25.0 | takes on a low carbohydrate approach to his nutrition. His is a little unique. He follows what I |
| 0:31.1 | would call a Mediterranean style or version of a low carbohydrate diet. And I wanted to talk to a bit about how he arrived at that as the way to structure his |
| 0:41.3 | low carb approach, as well as what he sees as a cardiologist with some of his patients who are |

| 1:29.9 | North America by Ultra Runner magazine. And with that came quite a diverse set of races, which |
| 1:37.0 | included the end of his year culminating in an American record at the 24 hour distance, where |
| 1:43.5 | he covered an astounding 173 miles in a 24 |
| 1:48.0 | hour period, all on a 400 meter track. Another reason I really wanted to talk to Nick outside of his |
| 1:53.6 | success last year is he's got a couple of unique things about him. One is his pacing strategy. |
| 2:01.1 | A lot of times in ultramarathon, there is this expectation that things are going to get tough |
