0:00.0	Eggs are some of the best source of protein for your body, and yet the eggs that you're getting
0:06.6	at your grocery store could be jacking you up. This week on the higher self, I'm going to
0:13.9	introduce you to what we are doing about our health, about our eggs, and I'm excited to announce that we just got our first chicken
