0:00.0	Welcome to the My Buddy Green podcast. I'm Jason Walkab, founder and co-ceeo of My Buddy Green and your host.
0:08.6	Dr. Gilblander is internationally recognized for his research in the basic biology of aging and
0:14.4	translating research discoveries into new ways of detecting and preventing age-related conditions.
0:20.1	He leads a team of biology, nutrition, and exercise physiology experts and
0:24.9	computer scientists at the exciting new startup called Inside Tracker and he's
0:29.2	been featured everywhere from CNN, the New York Times, Forbes, Financial Times, the Boston Globe, to name a few.
0:35.0	It's an honor to have him here today.
