In this discussion, Dr. Brian and Prof. Tim talk about the nature of healthy scientific progress, lessons from the dietary patterns of primitive people groups, the powerful forces behind the propagation of false nutritional and health information, the growing loss of faith in the medical system, the fight to change the standard of care in medicine, being open to having your mind changed for the sake of truth, the value of being able to approach a scientific problem from a creative mindset, and Prof. Noakes’ current scientific work. Life’s Best Medicine According to Tim: “There’s no question—it’s my wife. We live for each other because we would hate if one of us died and the other was left behind.” Thank you for listening.
