And I suddenly realized my diet was pretty terrible.

Once I started researching this, and I was writing a book on the microbiome at the time called The Diet Myth, and

I really started breaking it all apart and realizing that my breakfast was wrong, my lunch in the hospital with a sandwich and orange juice and a bag of chips was wrong.

Me just having lots of low-fat foods and lots of pasta and bread really wasn't very good for me.

And so, yeah, I suddenly realized that I had to change if I was going to avoid the fate of my father.

And, you know, it really drove me not only to look after myself, but also to rewrite a lot of these nutritional guides, because a lot of the nutritional guidelines haven't caught up with the latest science.

And they're, you know, always lagging at least 10 years behind.

So that was really important to me.

But it was a bit of a journey.

Yeah, no, it was.

And yeah, you get treated like shit.

Who is this guy?

He hasn't done 10, 20 years in the field like we have.

But I was sort of used to it because I've changed careers a few times.

I started as a rheumatologist.

I was like a board-certified rheumatologist.

And then I got into epidemiology, so I went back to school.

I did my thesis on that.

And then I had to teach myself genetics.

So I got a few cold shoulders doing that as well, as you can imagine.
