| 0:05.5 | Hello, my friends. Welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Vanessa, and I am so excited for today's episode because today is all about you. |
| 0:15.1 | Today is an Ask Me Anything special episode, and it is featuring all of your phenomenal questions. We're covering a lot of |
| 0:22.7 | ground from fat loss, protein absorption, postpartum weight loss stalls, whether or not women over |
| 0:31.7 | 60 have different protein needs, carb cycling, myceler casein, PFAs in clothing, and more. And I'll be answering |

| 1:46.6 | Honestly, I didn't expect to feel this kind of a difference and see and feel the difference |
| 1:52.4 | on my skin. So when I use their serum, I actually see a difference about five minutes later |
| 1:58.4 | in my skin. I have never seen or used any kind of serum that had this |
| 2:04.3 | kind of impact on my skin. And it actually makes sense because with urolithin A, you're helping |
