Aaaaand we\\u2019re back! Thanks for waiting patiently for season 3. We have an all-star lineup of guests and many interviews already in the can ready to be released.

To catch people up I\\u2019m Brian Sanders and I\\u2019ve quit my job and dedicated my life to studying health and nutrition. I\\u2019m trying my best to be unbiased and to simplify the conflicting advice out there and distill down concepts into something anyone can understand. I\\u2019m not a doctor or nutritionist. I\\u2019m a mechanical engineer and I\\u2019ve lost both of my parents to chronic disease and have set off on my own path for the last 4 years to study this topic and make sure I don\\u2019t fall to the same fate. My role is the curator, the communicator. I\\u2019ve interviewed over 100 of the top scientists, doctors, nutritionists, fitness experts, and other health professionals and have come to find some simple truths that I\\u2019d like to share.

A lot of this will be presented in the feature length documentary called Food Lies, but it\\u2019s not all about the film. I\\u2019m spreading this information to the public anyway I can. I do this podcast, I post daily ideas and information on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and soon to I\\u2019ll be doing more videos on youtube. Search for Food Lies on any of these platforms.

Today I\\u2019m talking to Ryan Lowery who is a PhD in Health and Human Performance and a researcher studying cellular, molecular and whole body changes in muscle size, strength, and power in response to novel nutrition, training and supplement interventions. He\\u2019s also the president of the Applied Science and Performance Institute where he\\u2019s bridging the gap between the latest research and science and practical application. He runs ketogenic.com which is a great resource to check out.

He\\u2019s the guy that Layne Norton called out in a previous episode. I wanted to get him on to talk about the benefits of being fat adapted and why ketogenic diets are an effective tool in the arsenal. I was actually just hanging out with him at the Metabolic Health Summit. This was an awesome conference put on in part by Dr. Dom D\\u2019Agostino who mentioned it last summer in Peak Human episode 6 that I did with him. The top scientists studying ketogenic metabolic therapy were there talking about their latest research and how in conjunction with some other treatments it has been used to shrink brain tumors, prevent epileptic seizures, and even reverse cognitive decline and Alzheimer\'s. Pretty amazing stuff.

So a quick message about the film - please go to FoodLies.org and support us on Indiegogo as we finish post production. We have to cover the cost of our amazing animators, graphic artists, and editors working away on this. I won\\u2019t sell it anymore, just know I make no money on this and have in fact spent every cent of my savings making it so far. I really appreciate your support. Here\\u2019s Dr. Ryan Lowery.

• Online war with Layne Norton
• Benefits of being fat adapted
• Some studies that show when protein and calories are equated there is benefits to running on fat
• In real world applications, so what if keto people eat more protein, we live in the real world
• Is it possible that all these amazing results I and others are getting from eating this way is just due to eating at a deficit?
• Energy balance remains
• Are all calories the same?
• Nutrient density is king
• All calories are certainly not equal - Layne\\u2019s own studies show this
• You can eat whey protein and rice and hit your macros and lose weight - doesn\\u2019t; mean it\\u2019s healthy. There\\u2019s studies showing our ancestors ate 10-20 times the vitamins and minerals we eat today

• Ketones are muscle sparing - help you retain muscle mass
• If you\\u2019re on a long term ketogenic diet your pancreas isn\\u2019t secreting much insulin and you aren\\u2019t prepared for a bolus of glucose - don\\u2019t be super strict then go bananas for a holiday or vacation
• People on low fat diets can\\u2019t handle a huge bolus of fat either
• Gut problems when transitioning to high fat or carnivore
• Don\\u2019t get caught up in a tribe
• Their animal studies on a keto diet for its entire lifespan
• Visceral fat around the organs is the worst kind of fat
• Thin on the Outside, Fat on the Inside (TOFI) which Layne disregarded and said wasn\\u2019t a thing
