Prior to beginning a new diet you should undergo a health screening with your physician to confirm that a new diet is suitable for you and to rule out any conditions and contraindications that may pose risks or are incompatible with a new diet, including by way of example: conditions affecting the kidneys, liver or pancreas; muscular dystrophy; pregnancy; breast-feeding; being underweight; eating disorders; any health condition that requires a special diet [other conditions or contraindications]; hypoglycemia; or type 1 diabetes. A new diet may or may not be appropriate if you have type 2 diabetes, so you must consult with your physician if you have this condition. Anyone under the age of 18 should consult with their physician and their parents or legal guardian before beginning such a diet.

| 0:22.2 | on the last episode with Dr. Stephen Gundry and some of the big takeaways that I had, |
| 0:28.5 | some of the mind-blowing moments and really just talk about some of the main ways that we can |
