  • Making the science of metabolism accessible

    I love listening to this podcast. It makes the science of metabolism accessible to a much wider audience. If you want true health, I highly recommend you listen to this podcast and begin to apply the principles to your life.

  • Facts w/ideology

    He certainly understands and can explain human metabolism well. My issue is how he chooses to present certain information, things he glosses over, and what he chooses to go into detail about instead. Idk if he personally is adhering to some nutritional ideology or he knows that the audience he’s cultivated expects him to have a particular take on certain topics.

  • Fantastic medical and biological podcast

    I research in diabetes and obesity and Ben provides great info in the clinic as well as down to the molecular level. It is tough to get all of the info you need from the literature and listening to these podcasts help me hone in on areas I need to learn more about.

Why Your Ketone Readings Don’t Match
Q: Sharon asks, when you mention the SiBio continuous ketone meter being available to consumers, does that mean one might be able to pick one up in a pharmacy on summer vacation, or must a healthcare provider order it?
The device can be bought online in many cases, and you typically don't need a provider to order it; it isn't usually sold on major retailer sites like Amazon, but it can be found through some online retailers depending on your location.
