Today's a really fun interview about a topic that is near and dear to my heart and it is about

0:17.7

keytones and what they are and why they're important. Now before you say oh God I don't need to hear anything else about ketones. There's a lot you don't know. And I met someone recently like, oh, Dave, you invented the keto diet. Like, no, I didn't.

1:38.0
