1:50 – Andrew’s background in sports, powerlifting, bodybuilding, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu 


6:20 – Andrew’s experience cycling through various dietary camps (CICO, paleo, ancestral, carnivore, fasting, low-carb, etc.) 


12:04 – whether we should shape our diets around what our ancestors did 
15:15 – how low-carb, keto, and fasting diets elevated stress and caused blood sugar issues for Andrew 


20:45 – “optimal” blood glucose, HRV, and resting heart rate despite crashing health 


23:50 – how stress-inducing (hormetic) health practices led to binging, self-blame, low brain energy, high blood pressure, and weakened immune function 


27:36 – low-carb, keto, carnivore, fasting, and fear about reintroducing carbs 


33:13 – Andrew’s breaking point with health and what led him to start questioning what being “healthy” really meant 


36:27 –exercise intolerance, fatigue, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, brain fog, gut issues, slow motility, and poor sleep: the product of years of low-carb and fasting
