The speaker reflects on their beginnings in the world of dieting and longevity, discussing their mentor's work on calorie restriction and their own experiments on starving bacteria and yeast. They also touch upon the first Biosphere enclosure experiment and the challenges faced by the scientists living in a self-contained environment.
