Today I\\u2019m here with Paul Jaminet, who had a very strong early influence on me with his \\u201cPerfect Health Diet.\\u201d As a key leader in the health and wellness world, he also influenced people like Chris Kresser and Mark Sisson.\\xa0If you aren\\u2019t familiar with Paul, he\\u2019s MIT-educated in both physics and philosophy and has a Ph.D. in physics. After working in astrophysics, Paul became an entrepreneur and then transitioned into the natural health world after he experienced his own health problems.

Paul\\u2019s also the founder and president of Angiex, a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapies for solid cancers. It\\u2019s built on discoveries made by his wife and co-founder, Shou-Ching. They created a new class of cancer drugs, and so far the results are absolutely astounding! Normally I am not a big proponent of pharmaceuticals, but I actually invested in this company because of its potential.

We talk about a wide range of topics from diet and natural health, circadian biology, and these novel cancer treatments. And without further ado, let\\u2019s jump into this fascinating episode.
