Main Takeaways:
- Constant high glucose intake without sufficient exercise leads to glucose remaining in the bloodstream, causing various metabolic reactions.

“think of your capacity to store fat as a bathtub and a bathtub has water that comes into it and water that goes out of it so the water that's going into it is what you're eating the water that's coming out the drain is the energy you expend some of that through exercise some of that through movement just daily living most of that frankly just by being alive just the ACT if you in bed all day you would still be draining the bathtub because it requires so much energy just to live.”
Main Takeaways:
- The body's ability to store fat is compared to a bathtub where intake and output balance each other.
- Energy is expended through exercise, daily activities, and basic metabolic functions.
- Even without any activity, the body consumes energy to maintain basic life functions.

“when the fat cell is no longer in balance fat starts leaking out of that subcutaneous fat where we're meant to store it and it starts going in places where we're not meant to store it the liver the pancreas into the muscles themselves around the heart when fat accumulates in those areas that is the Hallmark of disease that's the underpinning of everything going wrong.”
Main Takeaways:
- Imbalance in fat storage leads to fat accumulation in non-optimal areas like the liver, pancreas, and around the heart.
- This ectopic fat accumulation is associated with various diseases and metabolic disorders.

“We're going to look at how much muscle mass do you have, how much fat do you have in your liver, how much fat do you have around your organs, what do your insulin levels look like, what's your blood glucose look like, how high are your triglycerides.”
Main Takeaways:
- Comprehensive health assessments include muscle mass, liver fat, organ fat, insulin levels, blood glucose, and triglyceride levels.
- These metrics provide a more accurate picture of an individual's health than body weight alone.

“the kind of raw take to be completely honest in our current environment is probably the degree of osity that you carry how much body fat you have and how heavy you are beyond what you were”
Main Takeaways:
- Body weight, specifically excess body fat, is a significant factor in longevity.
- Managing body weight is crucial for maintaining health and longevity.

“the amount of muscle a human can gain naturally as long as they don't have a high degree of body fat is just not going to make a huge difference in longevity.”
Main Takeaways:
- Natural muscle gain without excessive body fat does not significantly impact longevity.
- Maintaining a natural balance of muscle and body fat is not detrimental to lifespan.

“if we gave resveratrol on this red wine molecule, that became well known in the 2000's. If we gave it to mice, their whole lifespan, they were protected against a high-fat diet, which we call the Western diet.”
Main Takeaways:
- Resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, has been studied for its protective effects against high-fat diets in mice.
- Suggests potential longevity benefits of resveratrol supplementation.

“I would take some Greek yogurt, a couple of spoonfuls, put the resveratrol on there, mix it around, make sure it's dissolved and put that in my mouth and swallow that, these days, what I like to do, because I've realized that olive oil and particularly oleic acid, one of the mono unsaturated, fatty acids is also an activator of the sirtuin defenses.”
Main Takeaways:
- Greek yogurt used as a medium for resveratrol consumption.
- Olive oil, rich in oleic acid, is consumed for its potential to activate sirtuin defenses.
- Shift from yogurt to olive oil based on its health benefits.

“the base of the triangle is the aerobic efficiency so this is the you know maximum fat oxidation ability this is your all day Pace we want that to be as high as possible and then the peak of the triangle is the V2 Max that's you know most adequately thought of as the engine size so that's the peak aerobic output”
Main Takeaways:
- Aerobic efficiency, characterized by maximum fat oxidation and sustained pace, is foundational to cardiovascular fitness.
- VO2 Max represents the peak aerobic capacity, akin to an 'engine size' for aerobic output.
- Improving both aerobic efficiency and VO2 Max is crucial for optimal fitness.

“it is abundantly clear is that protein is the macronutrient we should be least flexible on. We can be quite flexible on how much carbohydrate and fat we consume to fill our energy needs, but because protein is not consumed for the purpose of ATP generation, we cannot be too flexible or compromising in our protein requirements.”
Main Takeaways:
- Protein is essential and should not be compromised in the diet.
- Carbohydrates and fats are primarily consumed for energy (ATP generation), but protein serves different essential functions.
- Flexibility in carbohydrate and fat intake is acceptable, but not for protein.
Notes: Discussion on the importance of macronutrient distribution in diet.

“yes that's avocado mayo i think that's exactly what i was gonna talk about he's got this chipotle avocado mayo and it's all avocado oil and it's like a chipotle pepper seasoning to it and i just take some of that and i put a like a [ __ ] pile of it on the plate and i dip the elk in that so i'm getting my fats that way because you're not really getting much fat in it yeah it's no fat there's no fat in it that's the only thing that's missing from wild game is the fat content so you got to get your fat content from somewhere else”
Main Takeaways:
- Avocado mayo is used as a fat source to complement lean meats like elk.
- Wild game typically lacks fat, necessitating supplementation from other sources.
- Avocado oil is highlighted as a healthy fat.
