0:00.0	You're not going to always change your macros every week, regardless of whether you're in a muscle building phase or a fat loss phase.
0:04.9	I think it neglects other components of transformation that will put you in a better place for sort of resiliency and sustainability long term.
0:12.4	If you're consuming ketone esters and getting above two millimolar, then you're shutting off-burning process as evidenced by the decrease in ketones
0:22.4	productions. Every diet works short-term, and what works long-term is something that is, you know,
0:29.2	harmonized with your psychology, ideally your genetics, your goals. Training is only useful if you can adapt

1:32.2	of course, macros matter, but there's also these other physiological realities, such as stress,
1:37.6	such as sleep, such as inflammation, insulin resistance, that are going to impact decision-making
1:42.2	around nutrition. Can you speak to both sides to that?
