Transcript
Dr. Haroon Kazem: Thank you guys for listening to another episode of the Body Clock podcast presented to you by Owaves. This is Haroon and I am joined today with Sohaib and a special guest for you guys today. As we mentioned in previous episodes, our goal here at Owaves and at the Body Clock podcast is to bring to light, experts and enthusiasts in the fields of science, technology, and any other pertinent industry that you can really think of that relates to circadian rhythms and body clocks and we are very privileged and pleased to bring to you today Alan Flanagan.
He is available for you to follow on Instagram, the handle “thenutritional_advocate.” He is a science based nutritionist for optimal health and performance as well as an attorney and a nutritional medicine master’s in science and a very very knowledgeable, intelligent dude. We are very happy to have him on today and we’re gonna pick his brain a little bit. I’m gonna go ahead and segway the microphone over and just so you know, we’re remote Alan and Sohaib both are across the pond in the UK I am on the complete opposite end over in San Diego. And so Alan, we’re just gonna go ahead and get right into it if that’s okay with you.

Dr. Sohaib Imtiaz: Yeah, so I was going to say, so Alan, I first came across Alan from this new lifestyle movement in the UK which has become quite prominent and a lot of doctors have been getting into this and being quite a young doctor, what I found was there’s a lot of lacking knowledge in this space and it was more of a kind of a movement where people were piggybacking on studies and things they’d heard on the media rather than having any kind of scientific robust evaluation of the evidence. So that’s where Allen stood out because we had a WhatsApp group, we had discussions, but whereas most doctors would jump on the bandwagon very easy of a concept, Allen would never be scared to voice his opinion. Also-
Dr. Haroon Kazem: Reign in if you wayward ideas that were getting thrown around.
Dr. Sohaib Imtiaz: Exactly which which is which is inspiring because, you know, you need to know the evidence. It’s very easy for a doctor to be like, “because I’ve studied certain things, I’m an expert in everything,” which is not not the case. So obviously I’ve been following Alan for a while and I mean, insane amount of knowledge on the topic and obviously is passionate about it and from what I used to kind of kind of feed my questions to and kind of increase my knowledge base. So yeah. So we’re gonna start with asking Alan a few general questions first about how you got interested in the space. So, Haroon, would you like to start?
Dr. Haroon Kazem: Yeah absolutely. So we typically want to go through like sort of like a standardized set of questions for special guests like yourself that we bring on and some...
