Summary
Today's guest is what Dave calls a "belligerent researcher." T.S. Wiley is a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, and the American Anthropological Association. She also is an author, medical theorist, and researcher based out of Santa Fe New Mexico.
Wiley is the author of the books Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival, and Sex, Lies & Menopause, which explains the hypothesis of how women have accelerated the ageing process and put themselves in the bull's eye for breast cancer by postponing marriage and motherhood. So, yeah... it is controversial, to say the least.
This podcast episode discusses the Wiley Protocol, how humans are a system that moves through time, and why the body you will have at the end of listening to this podcast is not the body you have right now.

| 0:15.5 | Today's cool fact of the day is that there's a genetic explanation for why warmer nests |
| 0:20.6 | turn turtles female. |
| 0:22.5 | It turns out scientists just figured out there's a temperature sensitive gene that controls |
| 0:27.4 | the sex in turtles. |
| 0:29.1 | They found that toasty-or-nest temperatures instead of sex chromosomes turn baby turtles |
| 0:34.1 | female. |
| 0:36.5 | That means that what's going on in the world, if you're in a part of the world where |
| 0:41.4 | it's getting warmer, that it actually can affect these things. |
| 0:45.0 | Why that matters to us is that this show focuses quite often on the topic of epigenetics. |
| 0:51.3 | This idea that the environment around you can turn genes on or off, and that's at the |
| 0:56.0 | core of biohacking. |
| 0:57.0 | This idea that the environment around you and inside of you lets you control your biology. |
| 1:01.7 | Well, every day it seems now we're finding these new signals, new switches. |
| 1:06.4 | It's not likely that humans have this specific gene, but what we're finding is bacteria have |
| 1:10.7 | genes, fungi have genes, and certainly we have genes. |
| 1:14.0 | They're all listening to all sorts of signals in the environment around us that we never |
| 1:17.4 | even thought about. |
| 1:18.8 | This is yet one new one, which is really cool. |
