ketogenic was something it really was transformational and as I discovered ketogenic through you,

0:06.2

I'm very curious to hear you no longer feel the same that you did. What changed? Well,

0:15.5

it's a broader topic, I think, around that of dietary restriction. So I think my aperture has just widened significantly.

0:24.3

So you have to take a step way back and ask the question,

0:29.2

how does one, what are the ways in which one can change their diet?

0:33.1

So let's come back to your example in a moment because I think if I recall when you went on a ketogenic diet, it wasn't in an effort to lose weight.

0:43.6

No.

0:44.1

1:40.4

or cutting phase. I need this much. And they've got this down to a science. And it's

1:44.3

really remarkable. I mean, it's a science optimized for the reduction of fat. That's right.

1:48.7

That's right. That's right. That's exactly right. So, longevity. That's right. So, so, but,

1:53.8

but let's be clear. Like, I don't think there's a better example of any type of person on the planet
