0:00.0	Welcome to the MyBuddyGreen Podcast. I'm Jason Wackeb, founder and co-CEO of MyBuddyGreen and your host.
0:08.7	Dr. Mediasi is a board-certified, integrated holistic family physician practicing an Illinois,
0:14.8	and she's the best-selling author of the Holistic RX, your guide to healing chronic inflammation and
0:19.8	disease. Now I love this book because it's like a functional medicine version of the Louise
0:25.0	Hay Classic. You can heal your life filled with tons of natural anecdotes and solutions to
