| 0:00.0 | Hello and I'm here with |
| 0:09.5 | Hello and welcome to the ultimate health podcast. My name is Jesse Chappas and I'm here with Marnie Wasserman. |
| 0:16.5 | Today is a really interesting show because we are recording at Steve Santa's, Santa's Pharmacya in downtown Toronto, Ontario. |
| 0:27.0 | Up until now, Marnie and I have done the recordings, the two of us together, or we've used Skype to connect with our interviews. |
| 0:36.3 | So this was really cool to be able to record in a dynamic atmosphere while the business is actually open so you may hear some drinks |
| 0:45.0 | being blended in the background and such. |
| 0:48.4 | So Steve Santa. |
| 0:50.9 | Steve Santa has become a friend of ours and he has such a passion for medicinal beverages |
| 0:58.8 | which is what Santa's pharmacy is all about and he's got such a wealth of knowledge on not only different kinds of |

| 1:29.2 | and the different kinds of things you can ferment |
| 1:31.0 | and the different kinds of bacteria that exist. So that's just |
| 1:34.4 | another area that we talk about. And it was fascinating to get into dry fasting with |
| 1:39.6 | Steve. This is the topic I don't see a whole lot mentioned in the health world and Steve is an expert at this. |
| 1:46.7 | He's been doing it for years and at this point he's doing it once a month. |
| 1:51.5 | So the longest I think he's done to this point is a hundred hours. |
