Today I\u2019m talking to the legendary Mark Sisson. For many people, including myself, he\u2019s the person who got them interested in ancestral health and sent them down a path of feeling great, losing weight, curing problems they didn\u2019t even know they had or could be treated, and more. He\u2019s been an inspiration to millions and has spent most of his life on a pursuit of health knowledge.

He\u2019s been writing his blog Mark\u2019s Daily Apple for 13 years as well as publishing best-selling books such as The Primal Blueprint and the Keto Reset Diet. He also travels the world giving talks and is the founder of Primal Kitchen. He\u2019s 65 and living better than most 20 year olds. I saw this first hand filming with him in Miami Beach and running around with him on the ultimate frisbee field. He is a role model of how to look, live, and feel as you enter the latter part of your life. This probably isn\u2019t new information to anyone listening so I\u2019ll just get to our talk already.

Of course I have to mention the Food Lies film crowdfunding first. There\u2019s only 12 days left in the Indiegogo campaign and we have a long way to go. This is when we really need your help. It\u2019s the last crowdfunding we\u2019ll do and we need to hit our goal to make this film. I know it\u2019s been a long process and people are tired of hearing about it, but it\u2019s the only way this can be made. We have no outside investors. This is a group effort by the community to make an important piece of history. This will help change the world\u2019s view of food and human health. Documentaries like this are the best way to inform the public of this important information and open people\u2019s eyes.

If you\u2019re listening to this podcast you probably know most of this stuff already - the problem is 98% of the world doesn\u2019t! They\u2019re not going to read all the studies and books and watch all the lectures that you have. They need to see this presented to them in a simple and entertaining audio-visual format that they can stream from the comfort of their own home on a wednesday night. Let\u2019s make this happen. Please go to FoodLies.org and click through to the Indiegogo page. That\u2019s FoodLies.org and you can also click through the link in the show notes. Thanks so much and here\u2019s Mark Sisson.

• Some people use keto as a way to overeat and maintain their gluttony
• A lot of people doing keto for long periods don\u2019t have high ketone numbers - body adapts
