In the second part of my conversation with Dr. Chirag, we discuss peer-reviewed literature on animal and plant protein under the contexts of muscle building, longevity and brain health. We then shift to the different modes of calorie restriction, emphasizing its role in longevity, as studied in mice. We end the episode by discussing the science around fasting, low carbohydrate diets and the role of creatine monohydrate as a muscle and brain supplement.

Lastly, Dr. Chirag answers some personal questions about his taste in cinema and alternate careers he would consider if he wasn't a neurosurgeon.

In the musical part, I perform I'm Fine, a song (yet to be released) I wrote during the pandemic while working as a frontline worker in the midst of a personal crisis.

Thanks for listening!
