SPIT! Ok ok, it's more than that but the mouth, and more specifically the oral microbiome is crazy important to your health and overall wellness. Danny Grannick, CEO and co-founder of Bristle Health, talks us through what we can learn from our mouth spit. Bristle Health is a biotech company based in San francisco, California which is developing a home saliva test to detect and analyse the oral microbiome. This will help to identify cavities and gum disease at their earliest stages – and then offer evidence-based recommendations and treatments for helping to prevent them. SPOILERS, that mouthwash commercial where they killed 99.9% of germs and bacteria is actually a TERRIBLE thing for your mouth. But flossing is still good. https://www.bristlehealth.com

Ali thinks fasting is fantastic. Max thinks fasting is the worst. We discuss the joys and struggles of all types of fasting. Intermittent fasting, 24 hour fasts every two days, extended fasts. We touch on the hormonal response Ali has tracked on her Levels continuous glucose monitor (CGM), seeing her fasting glucose drop. Fasting can get you great results even if your goal isn't for weight loss. But of course that comes with a price of becoming keto adapted, going through the keto flu and getting metabolically flexible.
