Ted Weiss is Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics at Saint Louis University, and an expert on health, longevity and fitness. His research spans nutrition and exercise for weight loss, the prevention of diabetes and CVD, the slowing of primary aging, and nutrition for optimizing physical performance. One of the key topics in Ted's research is the concept of acid load, and its effects on health and endurance. Ted is also a keen cyclist and tries to actively apply his research findings to his own body.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

・What acid load is

・How both diet and exercise generate acid load

・How acid depletes nutrients from your body

・The long-term effects of acid load on kidney health
