Episode Notes

This week we have the awesome Dr Tommy Wood, a biochemist, doctor and neonatal brain health specialist. We have a great conversation about the nutrients you need to build a healthy brain. Why we need DHA, ketones and cholesterol. The best course of action to take after a brain injury to promote recovery. How babies are born in ketosis and why they have Michelin man rolls of fat in contrast to all other mammalian newborns. How we can store different types of fat in our own body fat stores—not just toxins. And finally, we discuss how on the quest to being healthy you can become unhealthily obsessed with health—to the extent that how we think and eat can become more important than what we eat—and have a more negative impact.
