Summary
[02.37] Do you feel that there is hope (or an effective way forward) for obesity rates to come down? Based on your response, why/why not?
[11.28] In this field, it seems like so many of us have had positions we’ve held very seriously that we now see as poorly supported by research, or just have a significant paradigm change. It would be great to hear you look back to how your views have evolved over the years.
[30.34] Apart from lowering salt intake and eating foods high in potassium are there other things you can take or do to reduce blood pressure?
[40.34] What is the best ratio of DHA vs EPA to increase my Omega 3 index?
[46.20] Statins v Ezetimibe: Differences between the two? Mechanism of action? Are there situations, conditions, genetic markers where one may work better than the other?
[56.20] I’m starting a PhD in the fall concerning the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases and I’d like to take some courses that would help me in my research. Would you have any recommendations for a beginner scientist?
[59.01] Is astaxanthin a good substitute for algae oil for someone who follows a vegan diet?
[60.45] Do you have any suggestions how to better manage hunger in obese women with PCOS?
[64.33] Do you have any recommendations for anyone wanting to get involved in chrononutrition research?

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of Sigma Nutrition Radio. |
| 0:18.5 | This is a premium exclusive episode where we're going to be answering |
| 0:22.9 | listener questions from those of you who have submitted them. So of course with me is Dr. Alan |
| 0:30.1 | Flanagan. Alan, how are you today, sir? I'm good. I'm good. I'm nearly restored after our hiatus down |
| 0:36.9 | under. Yes, yes indeed. And finally getting to feel a bit more normal now again after the crushing jet lag. |
| 0:44.3 | The epic way to travel to Australia. Like people just, people give themselves the easy option if they just do a flight through the Middle East, I feel. |
| 0:52.3 | They're not really testing themselves. |
| 0:54.6 | They're circadian rhythms. |
| 0:55.7 | Yeah. If you don't want to go up against like American Airlines as well. |
| 0:59.0 | So that's another true test of character in and of itself. |
| 1:02.4 | But yeah, we survived. Everything went great. |
| 1:05.0 | Very enjoyable conference that we got to have and met a lot of cool people. |
| 1:09.0 | And speaking of live events, you and I are going to be |
| 1:12.4 | in Berlin, Germany, in November. Yes. And so very excited for that. And we've got a cool kind of |
| 1:18.6 | idea for some of the format of the day, look at it through the lens of a specific research paper, |
| 1:23.1 | and then dive into some cool elements and so on. So yeah'm very much excited for that. Yeah, I'm really |
| 1:28.2 | looking forward to that. And I think we've already got a good crew joining us, right? Yeah, |
| 1:32.1 | very much. So I'm excited. I think it'll be a good group and we'll have plenty of time and |
| 1:36.3 | opportunity for some discussion between ourselves and everyone attending. We're going to have a |
| 1:42.0 | formal Q&A, but also just time to hang out as well. |
| 1:44.8 | And I think, like we said, the nature of the day of discussing certain ideas through the lens |
| 1:50.3 | of a particular research paper will hopefully be an interesting format. And also we'll tie in with |
