A case for ditching diet fads and gurus in favor of data. The speaker proposes a 2,000-calorie diet with roughly 100 supplements, each chosen for measurable effects backed by science. The point: measure what works for your body, ignore the rest.
If you take the scientific question of getting the body exactly what it needs to be in its optimal state, with a 2,000 calorie budget, the result from our scientific endeavor has been 2,000 calories of this food, plus roughly 100 supplements. Every supplement we take we can tie to something we measure inside the body. A lot of people are very quick to say, oh, supplements are worthless, or never this or that. They're expressing their opinion. What they really should do is look at the data. We have the data to show. We take this thing, we meas measure this thing in the body. So it's always the case of looking at data, scientific evidence, and then doing it again. So if people are out there expressing opinions, don't listen to them, listen to the data.
