Keto Roundtable: Metabolic Flexibility and the Human as a "Closed Loop" System

Mark Sisson and Brad Kearns sit down with Lindsay and Brian of the Primal Blueprint team to have a freewheeling and open-ended discussion around Keto.

This discussion occurred in the fall of 2017 following the release of the New York Times Bestseller, The Keto Reset Diet, and delves into some interesting topics including metabolic flexibility, metabolic efficiency, the human as a “closed loop” system, and a theoretical exploration of the "minimum effective dose of food."
