0:00.0 | It's not the focus on subtraction. |
0:01.5 | It's a focus on addition. |
0:02.8 | Like we're talking about how can we incorporate more plants |
0:06.0 | into our diet and why and what is the benefit, |
0:09.4 | regardless if you eat meat or not. |
0:12.4 | 100%. |

1:21.9 | Today on the podcast, we have Dr. Will Bolsowitz. Dr. B. Welcome back. |
1:25.1 | Thank you, Nick. It's good to see you in person for the first time. |
1:30.6 | It's been a while since we, our first podcast was probably over two years ago at this point. |
