you dont have to watch, i just found it interesting. this isnt about health or sports performance but he looks at dieting for weight loss in a scientific perspective. his premise is that diets that spike insulin create obesity. they did research on thousands of people with real time insulin monitors and had participants input into their phone what they were eating. what they discovered is there is no best diet for everyone, insulin responses were individualistic, based on their individual genetics AND their individual gut biome. Shocking discoveries like more peoples insulin spiked from eating white rice than ice cream. he concludes with with the data they have collected, they can determine a persons optimal diet with machine learning by sequencing your genetics and you guts bacterias genetics.
 
Good post. When I saw the title I came in thinking that I was gonna write a wordsy reply about the dumb asses that think there is one best diet for everyone. I havent watched the vid but what you wrote pretty much covered everything I was thinking of saying, some rare sense in the world !
