0:00.0	I don't want to make this harder for people. I want to make it easier for people and as I've tried to say more and more in my social media outlets,
0:06.4	look, if you're thriving, don't change anything. If you're eating olive oil and you're crushing life and you're
0:12.8	lean and you're where you want to be,
0:14.2	then maybe it's not affecting you negatively.
0:16.9	On this week's podcast, I had the pleasure of talking to my friend
0:19.5	Brad Marshall.
0:20.8	Brad is a biologist by training and he has some really
0:23.8	interesting evolutionary biology ideas about hibernation and
0:27.1	torpor as equivalence of metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance in humans. We'll get
0:31.6	into what sort of things you are doing in your diet.
0:34.3	You've probably done it in the last week
0:36.0	that are signaling to your body that winter is coming.
0:39.0	And this may lead to fat retention, increased appetite,
0:42.0	difficulty losing weight,
0:43.2	torpor, essentially metabolic syndrome and humans,
0:45.8	from things that you think you are doing that are healthy.
0:48.2	This is an interesting podcast, it gets a little technical,
0:50.6	and it's definitely going to ruffle some feathers,

1:04.4	Brad Marshall.
