0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Natural State podcast. I am your host Dr. Anthony Guston. It is my
0:10.4	belief that the natural state of any living organism's health and that our artificial
0:14.4	habitat has forced us into having artificial health problems. This show is my attempt to
0:18.7	dive deep and learn about using nutrition, sleep, movement, relationships and more to help
0:23.8	you reclaim your natural state of health in a modern world and show you how to thrive
0:27.7	in an environment that's stacked against you. If you enjoyed today's show, you can find

1:14.2	what we learned and where we're at in the journey as well to help out the many, many
1:17.8	people who are struggling with this. But yeah, it has been one of the craziest experiences

1:25.4	way I break it down what we tried about in this episode is there's sort of four things
1:28.4	you need to figure out when you're dealing with mold. One is diagnosing the mold in your
