Yeah. And that's what we call skinny fat. I am still mildly in shock about it because... Because I saw his results, I panicked. So the next day, I also went to the same clinic as him. I had my DEXA scan done, and it came back and said that I had, quote, zero visceral fat. So my results from Dr. Peter Atiyah said I had zero visceral fat, which he said was rare.

But I had subcutaneous fat, which is the fat on the outside, more than Jack did. So Jack had visceral fat, which is the fat inside us, and he has almost no subcutaneous fat, and I'm kind of the inverse of that. And I don't understand.

I was trying to figure out, why is my body, when I eat something, putting the fat subcutaneously on the outside, whereas Jack's body is putting the fat on the inside, which is the dangerous fat?

And then the last thing is cortisol. Yeah. The job that we have, I know that it doesn't sound like a hard job to be a podcaster, but in Jack's role, he's basically working seven days a week sometimes. You know, he's working early hours of the morning. He's traveling around the world with me to come to these studios. It is, I observe it, it's a stressful job.

So I was wondering if all of these factors play a role in how our body chooses where to store things. And really like the role of cortisol in determining fat storage is so interesting to me. Like the role of stress in determining where our fat is stored

Why is visceral fat dangerous? Because people refer to it as being linked with a lot of chronic disease and cancers and stuff like that. But what evidence do we have that it's dangerous? And why is it dangerous? Yeah.

Oh, gosh. And there's a link there to cancer.

Don't you hate it when you have a good idea and then you forget? For the last two years, I've been writing my brand new book. And my book writing process is a little bit atypical in the sense that I have all of these great conversations on the Diary of a CEO. And I might stumble across a great idea while my guest is speaking to me in the middle of a conversation. Or I could be walking the dog.

I could be out and about with my friends. I could be anywhere when I have an idea for my upcoming book. This is why Notion, who are a show sponsor of mine now, has been an incredible platform for me. I've designed my Notion so that I can pull out my phone super quickly and store the idea in the section about my new book.

And I can collate pictures, images, voice notes, any type of media on the go, which means I'm able to capture that point of inspiration in a flexible way, and I'm no longer losing good ideas. I imagine many of the creatives and entrepreneurs listening to my podcast already use Notion. But if you want to try out Notion and you've never used it yourself, head over to notion.com slash DOAC.
