• How the bioenergetic view incorporates evolutionary biology, and how this differs from the ancestral health model

• Whether tolerance to stress is improved on low-carb diets

• Why being overweight or obese is not a sign of excess energy  

• What we think of Paul Saladino’s interpretation of the “Ray Peat Diet”
