In this AMA episode of The Proof, I take your questions on everything from reversing plaque buildup to fasted cardio, the safety of seed oils, and how to bounce back after antibiotics. These episodes are a chance to share where my thinking is currently at grounded in science, but always evolving.

In this episode, I cover:

Most underrated foods for long-term health
Can we reverse plaque in arteries or just slow it down?
Seed oils: worth avoiding or overblown fear?
Gut health recovery post-antibiotics
Fasted cardio for fat loss: what the data says
Supplements I take daily (and ones I skip)
Carnivore diet, meat and the planet: separating science from spin
Key habits for pregnancy, longevity, and daily performance
A few thoughts on alcohol, morning routines & personal growth

Whether you’re looking to refine your health habits or just curious about the latest science on hot topics, I hope this one helps bring a little clarity and inspiration.
