| 0:00.0 | If you struggle with or you have a girlfriend who struggles with knee or low back pain, issues with her squat, lunge, just kind of doesn't get that hinge performance on point. |
| 0:09.7 | Maybe it's a struggle with running, walking, just athletic performance. |
| 0:13.9 | You need to listen to today's episode. |
| 0:16.4 | I am so excited to have Dr. Megan on. |
