He is the author of Keto Answers, The Carnivore Diet for Beginners, and Mommy, Do I Have to Eat This?

We talk about the therapeutic uses of keto, low-carb, hormesis, and carnivore diets, the role of metabolic health, the value of protein, balancing longevity and sarcopenia, and the results of over-fasting, over-restricting, and creating too much stress on the body.
