We explored myriad topics in this episode, including:
Joseph picked up a number of my own previously flawed beliefs in this conversation so I’m sure you will learn a thing or two, if not many more, to help you optimise your health and performance. Our audio connection wasn’t the strongest so the conversation does drop in and out occasionally, but there is so much gold in this episode that I hope you’ll put up with it.

- How our food is making us sick
- Why (the right kind of) fat is good for you
- Is cancer a result of damaged DNA or metabolic dysfunction?
- The role of mitochondria

- How dangerous documentaries like ‘What The Health’ may force people down an unhealthy line
- Exercise and fasting - when should you eat, and should you train in a fasted state?
- The afternoon crash and how to avoid it
- When your body needs carbs
- The difference between a cyclical and conventional keto diet
- Cold showers and mitochondrial function
