Hey everyone, welcome to the Drive Podcast. I'm your host, Peter Atia. This podcast, my website, and my weekly newsletter all focus on the goal of translating the science of longevity into something accessible for everyone. Our goal is to provide the best content in health and wellness, and we've established a great team of analysts to make this happen. It is extremely important to me to provide all of this content without relying on paid ads.

To do this, our work is made entirely possible by our members, and in return, we offer exclusive member-only content and benefits above and beyond what is available for free. If you want to take your knowledge of this space to the next level, it's our goal to ensure members get back much more than the price of the subscription.

Lane is a nutrition scientist, an accomplished power athlete, and a very evidence-based thinker in the space of diet and metabolic health.

And while Lane's been on the podcast many times, today's episode is a little bit different from sort of the usual podcast dynamic. Now, originally this was supposed to be our first in a series that we've been toying with, which is kind of a debate episode. I've talked about these a little bit on other podcasts, but the long and short of it is I wanted to do a debate that was going to be incredibly rigorous. In fairness, I've never really seen a podcast debate that was anything other than nonsense if I'm being blunt.
