Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast with Zach Bitter.

All right, everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Human Performance Outliers podcast.

I'm your host, Zach Bitter.

And today I have a guest interview for you.

Today's a returning guest, Dr. Nick Norwitz.

It'll be more specific to that topic if you're interested in. For this specific one, we go a little bit of a different direction, which I'll get into in a bit. But for those of you who are new to Dr. Norwitz, just a little bit about him. Dr. Nick Norwitz obtained his PhD in ketogenic metabolism and neurodegenerative diseases

at Oxford University and is now working towards his MD at Harvard Medical School.

Nick follows a ketogenic diet and has been heavily involved in research and public

conversation around proper application of low carbohydrate ketogenic

ways of eating. For this particular episode, we address the question of how far is too far when it
