Dr. Ben Bikman is a Professor of Cell Biology at Brigham Young University whose knowledge around metabolic health has been consumed (sorry, I couldn't help the pun) by hundreds of thousands of people around the world. 

In this conversation we cover all things metabolism and metabolic health, exploring the secret life of fat cells - did you know fat cells can increase in size and replicate in numbers? (me either, but we do now). 

We talk about our relationships with food, the havoc that sugar and processed food can wreak on us (I'm a flag flying chocolate addict and Dr. Bikman is a 'cereal offender') and the measures we put in place to ensure we can keep ourselves in check amidst a potential feeding frenzy. 

We also unpack the role of ketones for the body and brain as a fuel source and the benefits of a ketogenic, fat adapted state. 

I love it when super smart people are also super down to earth and that is definitely the case with Dr. Bikman... Enjoy, I sure did!
