I guess my first question would be, how did you get involved with intermittent fasting? 00:45 It’s kind of an epic collision of sorts between my own personal journey and my professional journey. From a very young age, I was interested in preventative medicine, my mother is just one weird medical anomaly that we think a lot of her health issues were triggered by mold exposure. And that mold exposure led to tumor growth. And there was just a lot of suffering because she was such a young woman at the time, and nobody expected her to have all of the issues that she was. And they were just treating her symptoms without ever looking for the root cause. So from the time I was in elementary school, I wanted to be that medical mystery solver and really identify root causes of disease. So I from a young age, I got interested in medical research. When I was 15, I had the opportunity to work actually in the largest medical research facility clinical research facility, which actually based in Toronto, at the time, and it was a nephrology, so this group of kidney specialists were trying to detect kidney disease earlier. And they were working on all of these different types of lifestyle interventions to slow down the progression of kidney disease. So at 15, this is a total dream for me, and very much so was because I really valued their mission. And I stuck around high school, university after university became my full time job. Well, it took some time off before the plan was to go to medical school. But none of the interventions were working. And it didn’t really matter how early one detected kidney disease, because there was just this huge onslaught of type two diabetes does ravaging people’s kidneys. I mean, we went from having a handful of people on dialysis to having 1000s of people on dialysis 24/7. And from the time I was 15, to the time I was 25.
