Well, I don't mind being controversial, but I do speak the truth.

There's not a lot of evidence that long-term the ketogenic diet is healthy.

It certainly doesn't correlate or associate with longevity.

Short term, okay, it does help people lose weight, no question.

But I am rather concerned for people that don't have a balanced diet with an input of plant material, which has molecules that are unique to plants and you won't find anywhere.

in high processed foods or meat.

The evidence, speaking as a scientist, is that the long-term ketogenic diets are not going to be longevity inducing.

The evidence is more having a lean diet with a focus on plants that are not overcooked and not ultra processed.

That one is undoubtedly the healthiest if you can do it.

Do you eat meat?

I do eat meat, but not like I used to.

I used to think that a meal was not a meal unless I had a piece of meat there and then the vegetables were the decoration.

And I begrudgingly eat the green stuff.

I've been flipped totally.

Serena, my partner, Serena Poon, is not just a nutritionist, but a longevity expert for the last 26 years.

And so she came to my apartment, which is now our apartment, and she just cleared out all the food that I had.

Pretty much everything was either toxic or just not healthy.

It was ultra-processed.

She said, what are you eating, that kind of peanut butter, you know, full of sugar?

So she's taught me how to live healthy.
